Gong Hyo-jin’s ghostly date for Master’s Sun

Shooting on SBS's upcoming drama Master's Sun (or heh, if we're going by the literal/punny reading, Mr. Joo's Ms. Tae) is now well underway, and here we have some shots of series leads Gong Hyo-jin and So Ji-sub, as well as secondary lead Jung Ga-eun.

To explain the title pun further: Gong Hyo-jin plays Tae Gong-shil, hence Ms. Tae (pronounced tae-yang)… who was once "as bright as the sun" (sun = tae-yang). Geddit? Oh, Hong sisters. Okay, I can't be mad about your lame puns this time because I kind of love them. However, once Ms. Tae suffers an accident and starts seeing ghosts, she has trouble adjusting to her new affliction (understandable) and sinks into gloominess. Don't blame her.

In the stills pictured here, the character is all set to kiss "the man she loves" but happens to see a ghost at exactly the wrong moment and screams. Great, so you not only have to deal with the dead guys hanging around, but now they've gotta cockblock too? Bummer.

Her partner in the scene picture above is comedian Lee Sung-woo; though he's playing a love interest, I presume it's a quickie guest appearance. Gotta leave room for the main romance, after all, with our main man So ji-sub, who happens to be her boss. One might call him master. You know, just in case the pun hadn't set in yet.

So Ji-sub plays Joo Joong-won (aka joo-gun, which means both master and Mr. Joo), an arrogant, cold-hearted shopping mall president who sees everyone's value in terms of money. And is that… a ghost I see next to his car?

Master's Sun will follow I Hear Your Voice on Wednesdays and Thursdays, premiering on July 31. First ears, then eyes; which paranormal ability will we be hitting up next, I wonder? Tasting colors? Smelling sounds? I volunteer myself to touch choco abs. You know, for the sake of dramaland and all.
