she is WERQING the shit out of that dress in the last pic (to borrow terminology from TLo)
but that lion hair in the pic with the red dress is ridic

a role that has successfully put her back in good standing, as far as her public image goes.

This is news to me, was she involved in a scandal of some sort?

The first and the last pictures are my favorite.

I never understand why they have to go all the way to California when they could find these same scenes in Korea. Even if it is cooler in Korea, it's called blue/green screen with some wonderful Photoshop - which is all too standard anyway, these days.

The photo of her in red in front of the house is just odd.

I never liked her, her acting is empty, does not matter how she looks if she can't act. She's like a doll.

I echo the same sentiments,why travel long distance only to take boring shoots??? She is cute but the shoots are notjing special and could have found a similar place in korea,anyways.......

i think she's really pretty, but as a model, she seems rather stiff. completely agree with the comment about flying 13 hrs spending a few thousand dollars on the shoot, when it could have been done in any other country house. tbh, the photos aren't even that impressive...

I only liked her in My Girl, but the succeeding films, I don't care much in watching them anymore.
I guess, I couldn't just forget that incident of demoralization she did. And that changed my perception of her as an actress. I may be biase, but I don't really care.

By the way! She looked really gorgeous outside, but rotten inside because it's so obvious she underwent a lot of plastic surgeries.

She is a good-looking girl but can't say the poses or the backdrop are interesting at all. Too bad . Sometimes one wonder why they even bother....

i agree why took extra miles 13,000 to shoot these photos? i must say S. Korea is such a gorgeous country already honestly, when i went last year first time, i was v v impressed with the country i wanna go back in a heart beat....but anyway, i think the first photo is too sexy! :)

The house looks very Hancock Park-ish.
It probably is. Lol.
Maybe it's the sun???

The dresses are unflattering except the blue one.

The comments seem always going to the same place everytime Lee Da-hae or Gu Hye-sun's article coming up. Wonder why? *shipping coffee* Are they not tired talking about the same thing over and over again like everyone else here don't know it yet? Here cookies for everyone who feels bored reading about it. :)

I personally adore her, and I think she is really gorgeous. However the pictures don't really do justice for the trip across seas. I guess I was expecting more flair honestly. Though the baby blue dress... breathtaking.

here we go again...but i still love her :)

Never fail to amuse me that when people don't like an actress, they still check out their news anyway and comments that she's a rotten person and she did plastic surgery.

Why waste your time like that if you don't like her!

I love her personality outside. She's such a goofball. Not the pretty Da hae that we see on photoshoots or dramas.

She's so popular in China now it's crazy. She said her next drama will be a Chinese idol drama. What is up with Korean actors hopping to china these days! They must pay triple or something. Plus they shoot their dramas before hand so it's not as tiring.

This is a prime example of utterly failing to utilize your surroundings. L.A. has a lot of distinctive Americana and a specifically Southern Californian environment that they could have taken advantage of to signify that 'this is why we came all the way out here to L.A..' Lee Da-hae looks out of place.
It's especially disappointing after Lee Min Jung's photoshoot, which was such an awesome example of how to imbue the pictures with Southern Californian ambiance.

Gawd, what was the stylist thinking pairing this flaming lioness hair w/ that gorgeous delicate red lace dress on her?

omg, girlfriday, that's the same exact question i'm asking!! why bother to travel all the way to L.A. when the photoshoot doesn't even need L.A. as the backdrop? this could have easily been shot in some fancy nieghborhood in seoul. i just don't get it : ((

**sigh**

She's such a beautiful girl (as evidenced in that Miss Ripley scene where she was dressed in that stunning red gown) - what a waste of flight miles for this session.

What she really needs is a photo layout with Rachel Zoe and Annie Leibovitz. That way, haute couture wouldn't wind up like pic #4. The story doesn't read "disappointed love story" - it reads "hooker returning from a busy night".

Makes me wonder who had final approval for this terrible shoot. LDH needs to keep a firm hold on her newly regained approval points and get busy on her next drama.

The 2nd picture, the sign must be "Please don't drink and drive". What is the message for the picture? I don't think her facial expression is matching with that sign either. I really like her last blue dress. Her picture in red dress looks like a zombie walking.

She should change the photographer.

The last one is gorgeous. :)

I want to like her so much but I just can't! Something about her makes her so unlikable. Even her acting doesn't impress me. She seems so lifeless and unlike her My Girl days she can no longer make many expressions with her face when acting. Must be all that work done she has done to her face.

yeah right! why spend so much money when you can shoot in a studio... it doesn't have any difference at all!!! lol...

Gosh, she's like a mannequin! The last photo is really my favorite. What a gorgeous dress.

In the red dress she looks like a drugged groopie in 80's and the tan dress no one with a bit of sense would make her wear. Sometimes I think people who choose outfits for photoshoots have absolutely no taste.

cannot denies that she now is the most beautiful korean actress...

i was about to write

inb4
mandatory -
OMG WHAT did she do to her face!!!!!
I dont like her, i dont know why.
LDH sucks
- plastic surgery comments

If you dont like her for her plastic surgery thats fine but i gurantee you 90%+ of your faves would have done some too.

Criticizing her is not being an anti
but if you look at the pattern of commenting in LDH articles you would know it wasnt just "contructive criticism"
Does Yoo In Na or Park Min Young get this much flak for their plastic surgery when they did just as much if not more than Lee Da Hae?

I like all three of the actresses and i think out of the three LDH got the biggest acting chops.

on to the subject at hand

THE PHOTOSHOOT;

i like the first second and last pictures

The others are a bit dull.

Love the second and the last pictures
The last pic's background is just stunning..
Is it weird that the thing that I love most about this shoot is the hair from the last pic?

Mmmmm....that cleavage...

mmmmmm...., the boobs, the blurring that cause the sensation during Chuno time.Nearly half of Korean women becoming her antis at that time.

At first I didn't recognize that it's the girl from My Girl. She looks different. Did she have her face shaved down bc/ her jaw line looks pointy. She's gorgeous. How does a skinny girl get that cleavage?

wow. she has such a nice figure.
da hae and so pretty!!!

being anti means actively hating on someone.. and wishing ill... but i mean, i think we are all entitled to our opinions and dislikes right..

for ex, kim tae hee, i think is really cute and pretty and gorgeous and a genuinely nice person, but as an actress, terrabad. i remember the first time i saw her in love story in harvard, and i had no idea who she was then, but remembering thinking, wow, how did this girl get hired, is this a joke?

and i dont like lee da hae, she just looks so plastic fantastic. like every inch of her. not just her face. i feel like she just wants to embody this female ideal, but with no inner content. i even feel like she sculpted her body and pushed her cleavageless body together for the shoot, when we all know, shes skinny as a stick, to fulfill other feminine ideals. not cool.

and song hye kyo? what has this girl been up to? just bc you have one major hit in korea, it seems you can just stop working...

exhibit A. jun ji hyun. i thought she was beautiful in my sassy girl and great or whatever, but i dont really think she's done anything of note since then. has it been like almost 10 years.

yoon eun hye on the other hand, i think has had her drama flops, but also has had a few major hits. coffee prince, goong.. right? at least she's working all the time to continually pursue her craft..

I've never watched any of LDH dramas but I know who she is. Since I am neither a fan or an anti, I suppose I can offer a more non-bias opinion?

I've seen many korean celebs who had gone plastic surgery, but to be honest I can't see obvious plastic face in LDH as some have written here. She must have had an awesome plastic surgeon or she did a little bit or she hasn't had any. Don't know.

In my opinion, she is a very pretty and sexy lady. She has such a soft sweet face and a voluptuous body but what's lacking is charisma that can only be gained through inner confidence and maturity.

My favorite picture is the last one. blue dress is simply amazing on her , I would have liked it better with less cleavage.

I am weird that I don't find Kim Tae Hee to be gorgeous. Pretty? YES! Gorgeous? NO Beauty is truly in the eye of beholder. For me, I find a woman beautiful when she is beautiful inside and out and possesses a certain charisma that captures your eyes. Based on looks alone, I find these women to be extremely beautiful (again others may not find them necessarily beautiful): Lee Young Ae, Choi Ji Woo, Kim Sa Rang. They are tall and beautiful.

beautiful but she looks weird..unnatural beauty

looks like a Mad-woman in that red-dress !!
she is so plastic ..

Gorgeous my foot...Surgery made that face..What a joke.

here we go again. LIMP POSING. NOT SEXY OR ATTRACTIVE AT ALL. I CAN DO THAT TOO AND LOOK BETTER HEHE. SHE ACTUALLY GOT PAID FOR THIS?

.she is very beautiful and sexy! and she is also a very very good actress, right? well we have our own opinions and we must respect it as adults. agree? thanks! ^_^

Hi
I love you

so sexy n she look diffrent from my girl drama but she is still beauty
