[captures][video][내그녀] Recap: The “My Lovely Girl” press conference in Seoul. (9/15)

* Edited to Add 9/16/2014: You know what? I think those items in those bags may have been items that the stars themselves donated to a charitable auction. When they brought the bags over to them, one of the staff pushed the banner on the right over into view of the camera. And that reads, “SBS Stars Sharing Charity Auction.” I’ll bet that’s what those were. — Terri :-}

The official press conference for Rain’s new romantic K-drama, which started at 2 p.m. KST, has just ended and was waaaay fun to watch LIVE on the SBS YouTube Channel’s live feed!
It didn’t start in earnest until around 15 minutes into the hour. The main characters of the cast were in attendance. The five I recognized are: leading man Rain, leading lady Krystal Jung of f(x), Kim Myung Soo a.k.a. “L” of Infinite, actress Cha Ye Ryun, and veteran actor Park Young Kyu. I’m sure there will be plenty of articles in the Korean Media to help us identify the other two. ( *Edited to Add 9/17: The other two are Kim Jin Woo, and Na Hae Ryung of girl group BESTie. ^@@^)
First, the main cast of seven came in and sat down in the front row. As they were each introduced individually to the Press, they rose from their seats and politely bowed.
Then the lights were dimmed, and we all watched a long, wonderful video of episodic footage that included a K-Pop concert at a swimming pool venue, the actual “My Lovely Girl” show intro, and scenes with Rain, Krystal, and doggy Benji. I have to tell you, when they showed a quick shot of Hyun Wook’s psychological damage and you heard the way he was crying as he cradled his poor girlfriend in his arms after the crash, my heart literally had a hiccup.
Dang, Rain, well done. Sooo sad! Awwwmm ♥ ㅜ.ㅜ
When the lights came up, the main cast took to the stage. Park Young Kyu, who will be playing Rain’s character’s father, sang a short but beautiful operatic piece on the spot (I didn’t know he could sing!). The cast posed for pictures, and was also presented with gifts. I’m not sure who from yet, seeing as this was all in Korean. [SEE Edit to Add 9/16 ABOVE.]
Maybe from SBS, or the director?
The cast then individually said a few words and answered some questions from the Media, before politely leaving the stage at the end of the press conference. The whole shebang lasted for exactly one hour.
I must mention that Rain was insanely gorgeous and humble, and that Krystal was shy, so cute, and a bit nervous. Her Mary Jane shoes were The Bomb. Loved ’em! From the show footage, it looks like she’s going to do really well in this role.
A funny thing that happened on YouTube: The SBS YouTube chat box was active already before the press conference, and once it started, that chat box practically exploded. Clouds and Rain fans, Infinite fans, Krystal fans, and even CloudUSAers (including Terri) were getting their chat-on while watching the show.
If you missed the live showing, don’t worry your heads any. You can watch a playback On Demand on SBS’s YouTube Channel. ↓ ↓ ↓
Well, everybody, only three more days to go before the first episode of “My Lovely Girl” hits television screens and laptops and tablets and mobiles.
The show is also coming to DramaFever, English-subbed! You can sign up for new episode alerts HERE.
Congrats to SBS and the “My Lovely Girl” main cast for an event well done. 🙂

(The live streaming feed looked dim and a bit dark to me, not very colorful. But hey, I was just happy for the opportunity to watch it! Know what I mean? ^@@^)

Last night was an extra ordinary experience for me. My friend Adry Mabi remind me to go and we were both so excited and we even did a countdown.I am so happy when I see the rest of the clouds all over the world being there and supporting Rain. I don’t think this happens to any other big stars. I’ve never seen anything like this. It was worth waiting for. When Rain came out I screamed and my cat left me! I am that excited to see him and boy… He is so dashing and fresh looking and oh so good looking.He is such a gentleman,How he assist his co-stars.So humble and just simply being himself. I have so much respect for him.
So it is indeed worth it, in fact it is a priceless experience. I want to thank my fellow Cloud friends who were there and get so excited for our Rain.
