Chocolate Korean Drama Trailer

[Laszlo Perry]

EeeeThe trailer for the upcoming sitcom Standby was recently released, which prompted a quick squeal and a blog post about how excited I am for this drama. Shall I count the ways Standby is going to be amazing? Ryu Jin, Jung So Min, Go Kyung Pyo, Im Si Wan, Lee Ki Woo, Lee Ki Woo, Lee Ki Woo. Judging by the fantabulous cast, if the writing and directing hold up, this sitcom should be a daily dose of awesome to brighten my day, provided it gets subbed, of course. (Crosses fingers. Prays to the drama gods. Offers up chocolate as a sacrifice.)

Warner Bros. has dropped a brand new Wonka trailer for the highly-anticipated musical prequel starring Oscar nominee Timothe Chalamet as the titular chocolatier who dreams of changing the world with his inventions and chocolate.

A new trailer for Wonka has just dropped, revealing the first look at the titular chocolate maker's factory. Directed by Paul King, the upcoming film serves as a prequel story for Willy Wonka, the eccentric chocolatier from Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Actor Timothe Chalamet takes on the lead role in the movie, with a story that charts one of his earliest adventures when he first meets the Oompa Loompas.

The latest trailer expands on much of what was featured in earlier looks at the film, including revealing more about the Wonka cast of characters. The central story will seemingly revolve around Wonka trying to set up shop as a chocolatier in a town that doesn't welcome such activities, with Paterson Joseph and Mathew Baynton, among others, playing wealthy elites trying to stop him. More of Keegan-Michael Key's police chief character is also shown off, with the comedian seemingly serving as a central antagonist.

Of course, one of the central questions that long lingered about the movie was whether it would feature the iconic chocolate factory from Dahl's story. While the trailer is careful not to reveal too much, there are several new looks at the factory, suggesting its appearance has been inspired by Mel Stuart's 1971 classic, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, while also boasting its own unique design and atmosphere. It remains to be seen how Wonka will be received by audiences, but the latest trailer is a promising sign of things to come.

The movie was initially going to come out in January 2024, likely after the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival had finished, meaning, this new date will serve as an early Christmas treat for Filipinos as one of the first people in the world to see the film.

Accompanying the announcement of the new release date was the second official trailer for "Wonka," which sees Chalamet's titular character getting into more antics with Lofty the Oompa-Loompa played by Hugh Grant.

"Wonka" follows the character's transition as a chocolate seller to an eccentric genius, with the dreams of selling the best chocolate in the world to everyone despite the dominant hold of an elitist chocolate cartel.

The character first appeared in Dahl's 1964 novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and its 1972 sequel "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator," and on the big screen was portrayed first by Gene Wilder in 1971 then Johnny Depp in 2005.

A chef with a traumatic event in her past works in a rural hospice where she uses her home-cooked food to comfort the patients in their final days. While working there, she meets the doctor she's secretly loved for many years and the two get to know each other.

Kang confirms with Cha-young that she was the girl who visited the restaurant all those years ago. When he asks if she remembers him, she slowly nods, and his eyes grow wide. Flustered, she gets up and scurries into the kitchen to wash the dishes. He comes in to take the dishes from her, and the close proximity makes them pause. He then moves past and leans against the sink, his back to hers.

Joon retreats, letting Kang fall back to the floor. He wanders over to the ocean, where he opens his phone to a text: his mom has officially been appointed as chairwoman. He sighs, even more conflicted.

Back at the house, Cha-young finds Kang asleep and drapes a blanket over him. She lies next to him, staring at his face with a small smile. Then, she closes her eyes and drifts off to sleep too. The day goes on, and Kang opens his eyes, seeing Cha-young, only to shut them again.

Ok Show FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for this moment when Kang finally realizing and confessing his feelings to Cha Young, and dang, it took many years in the drama and 13 hours in reality for this to happen. I know it's not fair to compare but it took "Crash landing on you" like 7 episodes to come to the first real kiss (the first "fake" kiss was in episode 2) and here we have to wait for like double the time. Anyway I can't complain since Yoon Kye Sang, Ha Hi Won and even Jang Seung Jo are killing it for me. The acting is so great it's as a treat as a box of Godiva chocolate. Love this show and hope there would be a Happy Ending for all of the characters we came to care so much about!

I commend the actors here for doing so great! I was so impressed on how relatable all of these characters are - frustrations, loneliness and what-ifs moments were there. This is not your common kdrama we've seen a thousand times but I guess, this story possibly happens in real life; The struggle to impress your parents, the fear of rejection from someone you love and the pain of losing someone. I esp felt the pain between Kang and Jun; did they really had to fight over everything? I was glad it was Jun who've known the truth first; it was sweet how he tries to console Kang when even he himself is struggling on how he would take the new information. I am so looking forward to next week's finale!

Ps. Thank you show for not making it a love triangle between Jun, Kang and ChaYoung, cheers! ?

Ditto on NOT making a dreaded love triangle! Yes, a good-looking gal and a good-looking guy can have a friendly, non-romantic relationship. I like how Cha Young isn't used as a character who butts into Jun and Kang's relationship and forces the two guys to hug it out. She would drop a comment or two and move along. Jun and Kang are responsible for making their relationship better.

Thanks for the really nice thought mmmmm!

I also feel the same way about michael and yesol mom story. it seems too rushing , but i also relieved because there are other side story that still havent got any closure in this drama (lee family problem, kang shaking hand, chayoung inability to smell and taste, will geosing hospice shut down, director kwon , New patient bora, nurse youngsil and her younger lover ) Adding michael and yesol epilog will be too jam packed.

I would have loved seeing yesol's parent's wedding, but I thought the bulletin board was a nice way to bid goodbye to them (wow, both of them died in the past 24 hours in drama-time?). And the drama had done such a great job teaching us that it's really about the patients living rather than dying, and I'm glad we could see the pictures that immortalize a time when they were living with everything they've still got. If they had done this earlier in the drama, I would have been like why and what the heck. But here, I feel like we're in sync enough about the storytelling that it makes sense to me.

If I might add to the mix: me thinks Kang's hand and CY's senses will not be resolved. If they are then the drama wont be what it is. This drama is not afraid to do things which cause us pain. No one gets divine intervention in terms of extension of life (iron ranger 3) or to find things lost. We only get divine intervention in terms of a truck of doom and the wind blowing away the bedsheet which should fall on our ML and FL.

The drama heals in other ways.

but I confess... i also feel that the storytellers are forgetting that they only have 16 hours. I want more stories...i dont mind new characters but the main pair and Jun satisfy me so much that right now I would just be happy to see 40 minutes of them instead of 20 minutes of them and 40 minutes of others. I did say somewhere that the misunderstanding about the nurse was not well established for me.

Different hospice patients work for different audience so...

Oh and i remember someone saying: patience pays and lord, I learnt that with this series. So am ready to wait and am sure after the 16th episode i will still want more of kang and CY's cuteness or broromance between jun and kang or TH being funny but someone who earns such that his noona is not as worried.

As for CY's senses... i will be a practical spoilsport again... i am just worried about her not being able to recognize ingredients or including someghing which is stale. In some story I had read the person got food poisoning because he/she had something outside which was spoilt

:(

However, being a good chef is possible as she has cooked for so many years... just small things or making new dishes that she hasnt tasted might be a challenge.

Kand really inspires her... first to be a cook and then to continue despite the challenges :)

And @mmmmm

My personal wishlist... i dont want Kang to be a chef. He needs to cook for CY only but use his skills to be a small town GP or maybe even a lecturer. I mean there is a world outside that foundation, boy!

My journey through life has taught me that learning to deal with the traumas fate deals you can make one even stronger, and happier. Many times the distance between the things others want us to do, and the things we want to do, would not be resolved any other way. It would be just perfect if CY and Kang's disabilities allowed them to compliment each other in the most perfect way of all--collaboration.

somehow i agree with your comment. CY already overcome her inability to smell and taste by not losing her sense to cook, so its okay if they didnt resolve it.

But i would be dissapointed if they didnt resolve kang's hand because, eventhought he didn't want to be a neurosurgeon in the first place, Kang is a great doctor. In the beginning of episode he mostly cold to his patient but he treat the patients with his heart. Like he did to CY in episode 4. So it will be much better for the drama to solve this problem. (Althought Kang maybe didn't care about his Hand anymore because he already has CY by his side lol)
