Kang Dong-won’s first post-army photo shoot
by girlfriday
He’s baaaa~aaaaa~ck! *Snoopy Dance* Kang Dong-won (Psychic, Secret Reunion) is back from army duty and High Cut was the first to get their hands on him for a photo shoot, complete with appropriate fanfare. I mean, is a video teaser announcing that a photo shoot is on its way really necessary? And yet… there I was, watching the teaser, waiting days till the pictures came out. Sigh.
The photo shoot is actually in conjunction with a CF, and is a collaboration with director Lee Myung-sae of M and The Duelist, both starring Kang. I don’t know why he’s on rollerskates, but it sure looks like a good time, crazy polka-dotted head-to-toe outfit with capelet notwithstanding. He sounds eager to get back to work, and has apparently filled the coming two years with projects already — two are finalized while the other two are working out scheduling issues. Damn, he’s not messing around.
I’m sure we’ll hear more casting news soon, and though in all likelihood he’s talking about four movies, wouldn’t it be nice if he took a detour to dramaland? Is there a chance that being away has made indiscriminately project-happy? Here’s to hoping.
In any case, it’s always nice when an actor has missed being onscreen as much as he’s been missed. Welcome back.

Really? Even though I like Hyun Bin, it somehow doesn't seem like he's been gone that long but KDW? He's been gone FOREVERRRR! So very happy to have him back.

Unlike HB who announced his in and out for military service and attracted pulicity. KDW is always quite, doesn't care much for air time, I like his style more, so welcome back KDW, anticipating his projects whatever it may be (films or dramas).
Don't care much of HB. Neither like him nor dislike him so will only see a project he is in solely because of the story. Didn't finish the Secret Garden but loves MNIKSS.

Well, it's good that he's back and at least got some projects lined up. I'll try not to be greedy about getting a drama from him.
And I'm hoping that with Binnie getting released tomorrow, we'll soon be seeing a couple of post-army boys back on screen.

Me thinks in general he's his unique handsome self; it's just in the 2nd photo that he resembles Yoochun. That's mainly from the styling, lighting and angle.

Well, he has said he's never intending to do drama again and I imagine it's not something for everyone. Some actors need their time to do their best and we all know filming dramas is one tough environment for creativity and inspiration. I imagine filming 'Magic' was really tough, because that's the last drama saw of him.
Glad he's back though and looking forward to his projects. Lee Myung Se seems to still be buddy-buddy with him, so can I hope for another collaboration in a film? I would love that.
Also, thank goodness he gained some weight. Still skinny, but at least he's not all bones, like he was after 'Haunters' and when he entered the army. Eat more and act more, good man.

I think I'm sobbing onto my laptop. I've been waiting for him for so long, I just can't control myself!!!!
Anxiously awaiting the day I can see him on my monitor again. Can't wait until I, again, stroke my computer screen and croon his name pitifully because I can never be his woman.

I'm sorry but I have to say this..
He is so perfect.
I just watched Maundy Thursday yesterday, and even after a full 8 hours of sleep, my mind still can't forget the the movie.. especially the last few scenes which kept appearing on my mind vividly.
I really hope he takes up a project really soon, we missed him so, so much! :(

Loved Kang Don Won since "Temptation of Wolves" and loved him in "maundy thursday" too! It does seem like he's been gone forever! So glad he's back! I love Hyun Bin too but it didn't seem like he was gone as long.
