Happy birthday, Jung Il-woo
by javabeans
Jung Il-woo celebrated his 22nd birthday on set, as he is currently filming the drama My Fair Lady, and was treated to a surprise party by the cast and crew. (As a 1987-er, he’s the youngest of the main cast, although he plays at least five years older than his age as lawyer Tae-yoon.)
The party came after they finished filming a mealtime scene; pictured with him are his castmates Yoon Eun-hye, Yoon Sang-hyun, and Moon Chae-won.
I love Jung Il-woo, even though I recognize that this love is separate from his role as Tae-yoon, who is charming but ultimately not terribly riveting as a character. But hey, after you do a show as fantastic as Return of Iljimae, you get to coast a little, and I kinda put his My Fair Lady role in coasting territory.
Still, I love seeing cast members enjoying themselves behind the scenes, and the My Fair Lady cast genuinely seems to be having a lot of fun. Apparently the jokester Yoon Sang-hyun had started to smear cake on Jung’s face, but couldn’t follow through because they were scheduled for filming afterward.

No Lee Min Ho sighting? Sigh. Well here's still hoping that he'll be Hae-na's secret childhood oppa. ;)

22?! So young! I hope it's a lie, I hope he's older...kekeke (refer to previous entry).
Happy birthday, fellow Virgoan! Virgos rock! :P

aww. that's so cute.
belleza: I was thinking of the same thing! But then again, its not really possible because they don't look alike. Both are cute, good-looking AND talented, we all know that. But hey, who needs logic on this show? (Kidding. I'm not really watching this drama right now, just browsing JB's recaps so I have no right to talk.)
Hmm. If Lee Min Ho can't make it, Kim Bum can be the 'oppa'. But I will keep my fingers crossed for LMH. I want to see him with YEH. And it'll be an instant reunion with MCW and bonding time with JIW.
snikki: Oh yeah, he's a virgo! Same as me. haha! Yeah, virgos are the best! :)

Oh Jung Il-woo, such a darling. I still can't quite wrap my brain around how young he is! (Although the hair they've currently given him is quite awful. Ew.)
I hope he had a great birthday!

i agree with roselily... i'd much prefer if jung il-woo was a main character. i'd pay much more attention to MFL then(:
the 1st photo is so adorable! all of a sudden he doesnt look like a lawyer at all and is just a 22 yr old celebrating his birthday. actually he could pass for younger..but he's adorable anyway.

HAPPY B_DAY, handsome guy. I love the cast enjoying his celebration. It's really more worth celebrating becuse their drama is doing well in the ratings department.

@ belleza:
I've stared really hard at the pictures we've glimpsed of Hae-Na's childhood oppa, and I swear it's Kim Hyung Joon (i.e. perpetually lovelorn and somnolent Prince Yul). If they did use a picture of KHJ, then it means oppa is not showing up any any future episodes, unless the reason he disappeared from her life is because he was cruelly betrayed by a woman infiltrating his life for her revenge, and he had a full face transplant and is now back as Lee Min Ho (oh, and he had leg lengthening surgery in China hence the added 5 inches or so). Did I just cannibalize the plot of Angel's Temptation with the sweet sweet Bae Soo Bin? Oh well, that ridiculous plot ought to be inserted into every drama to make it all makjong to the extreme!

Jihwan ...not to be rude..but why are you contradicting yourself? You noticed YEH's hair but you don't even notice her? I'm lost.

@ockoala,
"Did I just cannibalize the plot of Angel’s Temptation with the sweet sweet Bae Soo Bin? "
Oh Bae Soo Biin "Oppa of All Oppas", how I wept for you in Shining Inheritance. Han Hyo Joo's my girl, but she didn't deserve you, your sweet sweet eyes, or your latest ahi tuna drizzled with honey!!
(No offense to Hwan, but BSB's Jun Se was truly the Most Perfect Boyfriend in the World. It's like when he enters the room, an angel gets wings.)
", and he had a full face transplant and is now back as Lee Min Ho (oh, and he had leg lengthening surgery in China hence the added 5 inches or so)."
I'm telling you -- Jung Pyo's mom is one kerazy a$$ beach!!! :D
I don't know -- I'm just obsessed with Lee Min Ho showing up on this show. Then we'll get priceless scenes such as this:
Lee Min Ho: "Hey"
Suk Hyun: "Hey"
Lee Min Ho: "Your pama, not bad."
Suk Hyun: "Are you my father?"
Lee Min Ho: ". . . "
But, yeah, if it were Prince Yul . . .
Hae-na: "OPPA!!!! *hugs*"
Yul: "Hey. I heard about . . . him . . ."
Hae-na: "Let's never talk about . . .him . . again!!!"
Yul: "He said he didn't know what they gave him."
Hae-na: "WAAAA!!!!!!!"
Or if it's Han Kyul . . .
Hae-na: "OPPA!!!!"
Han Kyul: "Who is this chic, oh YEH. I didn't recognize you looking like a girl!"
Hae-na: "Where were you? I was making coffee and you just disappeared!!!"
Han Kyul: "Yeah, about that. I realized something. I dig chics. I really dig chics."
Hae-na: "But I'm a girl. Eun-chan was just a phase, like Lindsey Lohan and her girlfriend."
Han Kyul: "I'm sorry boy-girl-whatever. Ahhh, you there with the crunk-a$$ hair."
Jung Il Woo: "Me? I'm sorry -- the producers thought this new pama would make me Jung Pyo-esque. So redarted. I hate you man."
Lee Min Ho: "Don't hate the playa, hate the game. Pama beaches!!"

@7 Roselily & 10 sl
Yeah i also lost interest watching it too...i just reading recaps from JB. It`s kinda sad that his Tae Yoon didn`t get much development from the writers...
Well anyway...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IL WOO!!! May your career be much much much brighter than now! Saranghae... :)

Let's stop absconding with JIW's birthday comment thread with our wicked, wicked imagination about Bae Soo Bin and Lee Min Ho. JIW needs to be feted for enduring such a vanilla role and being side-swiped with a pama that increases his forehead by 3 inches midway through the series (bait and switch, anyone?). All I can see is shiny, shiny forehead (assistants with oil absorbing powder, get your brushes ready!).
But dang it, your imaginary scenarios above are hella hilarious, you naughty thing!

@20 littlebunny , well since I'm obviously not a fan of YEH, I don't look worship YEH, look at her photos religiously or watch her dramas/movies unless I like someone in it. This photo just surprises me that her hair is so short. Is that not okay with you? If I confuse you that much you can go skip pass my comment and ignore me.

^ Yoon Eun-hye's short hairstyle is achieved by cleverly tying a bun and hiding it under her short "bob" layer. (The full length falls several inches below her shoulder.) It looks like she's tying the bun tighter lately and going for a sleeker look, which may be why her hair looks shorter in these photos.
