Yoo-na’s Street Korean Drama 2014 Starring Kim Ok bin and Lee Hee-Joon

This looks like so much fun and I love Jo Hee Bong. I’ll watch anything with him cause he’s so hilarious. I was sad he had such a small part in My Love From Another Star. Kim Ok Bin is obviously the queen of that group and she should be great fun to watch in action. Here’s to hoping Kim Ok-bin will have this be a successful run, wiping the memory of Sword and Flower from my mind. I cannot get over how adorable Lee Hee-Joon looks in the first poster. This also gives me Bad Family vibes. Looking forward to this

jTBC’s sexy noona-romance Secret Love Affair has just wrapped up which means it’s time for a new show drama to take its place. Heartwarming “family” drama Yoona’s Street is up to the task. Here’s the synopsis from
A drama about the pickpockets and other criminals living in multifamily housing until a really nice guy moves in and changes them all for the better. They heal and comfort each other as they live alongside each other’s company. Kim Chang Man (Lee Hee Joon) is a man who dreams of becoming a social worker to help society’s most impoverished people. He moves into a multifamily housing where criminals and former criminals live, struggles to help them to recover their “lost consciences” and saves Kang Yoo Na (Kim Ok Bin), the woman he loves, from the depths of crime. Kang Yoo Na is the daughter of a legendary pickpocket and is a former pickpocket herself with 3 records. After her release from prison, she sometimes goes back to the old habit other than working in a friend’s café but she got a warm heart, is a deep thinker and a people-person. This drama will show that the goal in life isn’t about acquiring wealth or fame but how one can live well.

It sounds a little bit like Catch Me with its cops-’n’-robbers setup, and potentially fun in a zany way. I’m not quite sure if it’ll veer more towards rom-com or heist flick, but judging from the promo materials, I think we’re in for some laughs.

I think the couple is cute and overall, the drama looks fun. Plus it’s about flawed characters which is great. Secret Love Affair performed well with ratings in the 3-5% range so let’s see if this drama can keep those numbers. I haven’t heard anything about English subs but perhaps we’ll have to wait till next week to see if any group picks it up.

Here's the teaser below.
