What? She's not even that ugly. She's still prettier than me while trying to be "ugly". That's just sad. Nothing she can't fix with braces and maybe proactiv (not that I see any blemishes to begin with).

That photo with the chimp is adorable.

Shallow Hal?

If having not so perfect skin, although her blemishes on her skin are hardly noticeable, makes a person be labeled as “ugly”, I must be hideous! Unless Kang Ji Hwan’s character has a REALLY high standard for “beauty”, even with Lee Jia’s “flaws”, she’s still pretty.

She can always take a trip to the dentist and dermatologist and her problems will be solved….. -_-

I had a feeling that she wasn't going to be "ugly" enough.

She still looks very pretty. Even her crooked teeth don't look that bad because they are white.

hehe shallow hal done korean style.

i'm curious...is there a korean version of ugly betty?

This might be the most objectionable movie / telecinema concept of the year. lolz. Who comes up with the stories? Isn't there a story-board editor who red-light / green-lights these ideas?

"Hey, I got an idea for a tele-cinema project..."

"Yeah? What you got."

"We'll take your average beautiful K-actress, I'm thinking Lee Jia, and we pair her up with samsooki's KJH, and then make her have freckles and then she can be the ugly girl that KJH falls for when he has a Shallow Hal moment."

"Bin-GO! This thing will write itself! I smell Baek-sang award...." :)

But seriously, I would take this movie thing with mountains of salt and so, with all the massive objections out of the way, I will watch this for any modicum of entertainment value it might provide and sort of gloss over the problematic message(s) that may be inherent inside.

Lee Jia may not be the world's best actress, but she has a lot of heart that comes through (i.e., see Style, say, Ep 9), and of course, my KJH has enough acting talent for both of them.

Wow, that's one crappy Photoshop disaster. The poster, I mean. The teeth are too white and stand unrealistically out.. looks really scary (it's exactly the same picture as the last shot, except with ultra-white-teeth and some photoshopped hand and adjusted hair.. and the added guy of course).

Can't they do a proper photo for the poster?

What IS the problem with having freckles? I (asian myself) never understood why asians like to put unknown chemicals on to have a perfect white spotless face. -_-
I have lots of freckles and I'm proud of them! : D
Last time I was in Hong Kong, I went in a shop to buy Raybans, the guy "suggested" me to choose larger one so it can cover mu cheeks to prevent the freckles! I was a bit offended really. I get the opposite reaction in europe, people ask me if I'm mixed becos I have freckles. So, indeed, even europeans only picture asians with plain white faces.

Wasn't she supposed to have a huge nose originally, aka Cyrano de Bergerac? That would at least have been more interesting.

I'm with you No.8. I myself have freckles as well. I'm Asian too, and I don't get hassled on too much by non-Asians about my freckles. Surprisingly, when I go to Asian stores that supplies make-up I get hated on for having freckles. I think its a rarity for Asians to have freckles, and I think Asians who have freckles should embrace that because its unique to say the least.

KJH looks reali dreamy in d poster. Its just d ryt smile... I dnt tink dis LJs ugly photos i imagine she spends most of d movie bein pretty under KJHs shallow hal goggles

sori 4 txt type im usin my phone while ridn d train 2 work

She's still pretty, the crooked teeth didn't do much and the blemish--since I don't see more than one--doesn't really distract from the rest of her good skin. Still, the drama looks somewhat interesting. I like the pic of her with the chimp.

I hope she stays the same, no crappy makeover or anything like that. And yeah she's not ugly what so ever, I hope Lee Jia isn't the reason because its disappointing if she is.

@7: Actually, I think the teeth are supposed to be radiantly, ultra white. If you look closer, there's photoshopped sparkles at the teeth o.O
But I didn't realize that the poster was the same picture as the last! When I look at it now... they should have just made new photo for the poster :O

LOL @14 ur right... same photo... I thought this wasn't a low budget project.

I also just realised that they photoshopped her hand in the poster. Even her head looks unnatural. A least her hair looks good. lol...

@thua
I know, right?
This movie was made before lol.

And tha poster is a hot mess.

Ok call ME shallow but I care nought for the story when this features KJH (MINE!)

@# 6 samsooki-
totally agree with ya: "i will watch this for any modicum of entertainment value it might provide and sort of gloss over the problematic message(s) that may be inherent inside."
amen!

Re: Freckle Talk

I always thought Lucy Liu was GORGEOUS with her freckles. To the point where I desperately wanted my own freckles. As an Asian, I have random spatters of freckles. Easily covered with foundation, depending on my mood.

yes lee jia is not the best actress, but i'm still her fan because i adore her character ism ...

Looking for MINE trademark... mabe JB forget to put it, LOL

joining the freckel talk...
well i am one of those poeple using chemical on my face, LOL... but with my original complexion, it will take a double trip to the surgeon to do the trick, kidding...
for white asians having freckles (lucy liu) is not as bad when you're brownish asian with freckles (not to mention acne scars, sun spots, etc)... so it's all just an effort to make the skin look 'clean' from those spost and acne scars...

Lee Jia still look damn beutiful in those pictures, koreans and their skin complexion complex (LOL)
in shallow hal, gwyneth paltrow have a nice personality (if my memory not fail on me), but here she has a bizzare (yupgi) personality and still going to get Kang Ji Hwan???

LOL... I truly didn,t see AN UGLY PERSON WHEN I saw the poster ..I was looking at Lee Jia eyes and saw a very beutiful lady... I noticed her teeth when I read some of the coment...lol...and she still looks dazling......

Excuse me, she look like a dracula, inexperienced make-up artist.
