Gyuri rides the subway while filming for ‘Nail Salon Paris’


20130501_Gyuri.jpg

KARA‘s Gyuri was spotted riding the subway while filming her upcoming MBC Queen drama ‘Nail Salon Paris‘.

The still cut was unveiled on KARA’s official ‘LINE‘ account and it was accompanied with the text, “Gyuri took the subway for the first time in a while”.

In the shared snapshot, Gyuri was holding onto the handles while maintaining her ‘Goddess’ image with her long hair and chic outfit. She also looks emotionally distant with her nonchalant facial expression, leaving fans wondering what will happen in the drama.

It has been revealed that this photo is taken from the outdoor filming of ‘Nail Salon Paris’ in a scene where Hong Yuh Joo (Gyuri) follows Alex (Jun Ji Hoo) to the subway. Since it’s been a while since she was able to comfortably take public transportation, she was incredibly excited at taking the subway.

Since its less than 24hrs till the ep 1

some interesting about the main casts profile I found on AKP forum

Yeoju (nicknamed Barney/Bani in the Nail Salon) is a fantasy internet novelist, she's very smart and confident but lacks real life romance/dating experience as she is stuck in her room all the time with her computer.

This next part is a bit confusing but... An issue arises when a case of plagiarism appears. The accusation bruises Yeoju's pride and she tries to move past it with a new novel but is scared of being accused again.

One day Yeoju sees Alex encountering a dangerous situation like a modern day hero and interested in the hero, she decides to trail him and finds that he's a nail salon specialist. Wanting to write a new novel using him as material she decides to cross dress and get a job at the Nail Salon Paris.

Alex (real name Kim Ji Han (?)) A Nail Specialist, he is an intelligent, sweet guy with handsome looks and a caring personality. He used to practice traditional medicine but after hurting a patient he gave it up due to his guilt.


In the Nail shop he is like an elder brother and mediates the conflict between others. He and Kei have a brother-like relationship and due to their different personalities, they fight at times. Kei is more expressive with emotions and Alex is usually calm and reserved, but their relationship is one of mutual acceptance and understanding.

He also watches over Bani/Yeoju as she is begins her training and helps her when she makes mistakes due to a clumsy nature. In addition, he praises Bani's sense of color and design.

This part is hard to understand too... Met with a misunderstanding surrounding a beautiful woman president, Alex believes he's in love but has never admitted it to her.

Kei (real name Kang Jong Huk) is the second nail artist. With a masculine image, he has a strong sense of justice and is known to keep a cool visage in front of customers, earning him the title "ice prince". With his strong sense of justice he has a tendency to act before he thinks and this ends up working against him as the situation usually gets worse. This leads to conflicts between him and Alex, who is more thoughtful.

As an artist and art student, he has a sharp eye and is considered the best nail artist in the shop. Originally disliking the idea of having Bani work in the shop, due to "his" feminine looks, Kei ends up finding his heart beating at the sight of Bani.

My thoughts without fully understanding it coz I don't understand Korean.

So there's the main plot that surrounds Hong Yeojoo (Barney). Basically, she's stalking Alex (Jihoo) which is why she's masquerading as a guy. But I'm sure you've noticed there will be a twist there that makes her being at that place her destiny.

There are subplots per episode that's related to the nail art they will do. Each story is heartwarming. It's chock full of cliche, but it's still fun to watch.

This might come off as nitpicking, but I get particular with some details so...

I spotted a few continuity errors from post-editing, nothing too blatant but if you're keen on details you'll notice it. It's hard to believe it's Spring when their breaths cloud whilst they deliver their lines. Not their fault, but it's something "off" in the scenes.

There's nothing WOW about the acting, but also nothing so awkward that you can't bear to watch it. There are only a few main characters, so I hope they will not turn out flat.

So far Kei is given his back story in Ep 2 which can explain why he's an Ice Prince and suspicious. I'm looking forward to see the other characters' back stories. Alex is too perfect, he's coming off as a flat and mary-sue character. He needs to have flaws.

Yeojoo is really an idiot! Hahaha!!!

How can she just get a coffee from the porch?!? You don't do that foolish girl!

How can she leave her clothes in the toilet expecting to get it back?!? You don't do that!

hahahaha!!! her interactions with her bestfriend/roomie/ally is fun to watch.

I loved the bit when she acted like a boyfriend turning away her bestie's suitor. LOLz!

And when sneaking around the shop, her bestie was also hiding under the blanket. hahaha they are like kids.
