Kmuse's Musings - The King's Face Edition

It has been a while since I have been actively blogging (only about a month, but feels like much longer) but I think I am ready to dip my toes back into my kdrama blogging pond.  I am sure those of you who still are reading "The Crazy Ahjummas" wondered what happened to me since we are only one week away from the newest drama starring my #1 all time favorite bias Seo In Guk and I have not blogged about every little aspect.  All I can say is that I am so sorry~

To make it up to you, I have decided to compile all my favorite SIG/King's Face related media here in one place for your viewing pleasure.  I hope that it helps heal the pain of my small absence.
Synopsis:
Drama series follows the life of Prince Gwanghae (Seo In Guk). Even though he is the child of a concubine, he becomes the crown prince. For the next 16 years, until he becomes the King, Prince Gwanghae suffers through dethronement and death threats. Using physiognomy as a weapon, he is able to become the King. 

One positive thing already about this drama is the fact that our hero does not die!  That is always questionable when you are watching a Sageuk (historical drama)
The Official Posters
I am a huge fan of the posters for this drama.  Especially since most of them focus on the theme of being able to see one's fortune through the contours of their faces.  The PR people are keeping that concept strong and at the front of the promotion campaign as we see various versions of Seo In Guk's face throughout (this also is the central theme in the first teaser found below).

Official Stills (In case you did not realize, there is going to be some serious sharing of photos.  But when it comes to Seo In Guk, is there such a thing as to many photos? )

The Others: Since this is an all encompassing post for "The King's Face" it is only fair to shine I light on his costars (my inner fangirl is screaming nooooo, but my bloggers integrity is pushing her back.......barely)

Shin Sung Rok - As the Face Reader (and part of the love rectangle for the leading ladies heart)
I am a huge SSR fan (He has stolen the show with his last three roles - My Love From Another Star, Trot Lovers, & Liar Game) so I am really happy that he will be playing the character that is the catalyst of the drama.  He does that type of role so well.

Lee Sung Jae as King Seonjo (Also part of the love rectangle - This rectangle of love is getting kind of icky.)  He always plays a great villain and his BTS photos with Seo In Guk are ADORKABLE!

Jo Yoon Hee - A young noblewoman who starts out naive and becomes stronger and bold through hardships.  Also the focus of all this male passion, although why this is so, I have no clue.  I will come out and just state that I do NOT like this actress.  She has one of those faces that always looks cranky and petulant and does not seem to be able to act past that look.  But who knows, I have had to eat my words with both Shin Se Kyung and Park Shin Hye recently, so maybe this time will be different as well (Though judging from the glimpses in the teasers and stills I HIGHLY doubt it).

Official Teasers
Teaser 1 - A King's Face

Teaser 2 - Seo In Guk's charisma refuses to be dampened even in a Sageuk! The last few seconds just take my breath away with his quick smirk. (For some reason I could not get the full video to post, so click on the link and it will take you to Youtube.)

Behind the Scene Photos
I am declaring Seo In Guk the king of BTS photos and Selca's (selfies).  The boy just loves to share with his fans.  Enjoy the cuteness that is SIG.

Even his Selca's are cute and ooze his own brand of kooky charm.  Just more proof that he really is the all around perfect bias package.

Since we are still awaiting the release of a long trailer (hmmmm wonder if they are skipping it since we are at 5 days and counting til the premiere?) I will finish up the post with a few pictures from the official press broadcast yesterday.  Seo In Guk looks amazing as always and very comfortable in his role as leading man.  And yes, I know he is obviously wearing a touch of makeup, but really would that be a deal breaker if you had the chance to make out with him?  I think not (insert fan girl giggling/swooning at just the thought).

So 5 days and counting people!  I know there is some stiff competition in the way of Pinocchio and Mr Baek (2 other dramas that I am currently loving), but lets watch and help out the ratings for "The King's Face".  Hopefully we will get the trifecta of great writing, directing, and (of course) acting.  But if nothing else we will get to see our beloved's face set perfectly in Hanbok garb. 

Also, if by chance a long trailer does surface I will be posting it on our FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-crazy-ahjummas/336988683021748?fref=ts
