can't even get past 5 minutes of the first episode!

^ yeah, after seeing HJW play Hwang Jin Yi, I really couldn't imagine SHK being able to play that type of role so I chose not to watch her movie. But I did watch My Girl and I... and I was really disappointed.

the little girl with the most dialoque eerily resembles the female lead from "thank you"

To all,
I enjoyed and appreciated Lee Da Hae's cover of my song "I love rock n roll."
When I wrote it, it was intended as a song of playfull seduction, and as an actress this young lady has interpreted the lyric and original concept of the song perfectly.
Those of you who are so knee jerk snap-critical, please don't be so judgemental of this pretty lady, who in my opinion has got it right on my song!
For me this is personal. I have also done recording in two languages (English and Japanese) and I repect anyone with the guts and ambition to do the same.
She should be applauded for her bright life spark!
Those who are critical of her are probably either jealous, blind or deaf.
All the best,
Alan Merrill

Having visited your blog for 3 days now (rest assured that i will see more of your postings from now on), must say you did a heck of a job. Good reviews, information attached, musics you have going on here. And for this episode, I totally agree with what you said before summary. "really good acting requires less music....extra frills (cuts, effects, music) to elicit emotions from the scene...There were a few scenes here that had that spare, raw feeling.." I cried without even noticing that the touching and emotional scenes were actually without musics or any other effects. I sobbed everytime I saw Han Gyul and Eun Chan cried in this episode. I totally get carried away.

Like soonjap, im have not been impressed with SHK's acting prowess.
Im not a fan of Autumn Fairy Tale,
All in was ok...
Full house, she was able to do the cutesy role
Hwang Jin Yi was ok also.. (i liked HJW better)
I agree she and KTH are really pretty..
Though the natural remains to be a mystery to me ( i feel she changed a lot after AFT, looks wise)
Yeah.. many people like her..
Ill just wait and see..
Her co-star isnt too good on the eyes though...

yeah!! Lee Jia rocks!!
i like her a lot!! good actress! :)
Kim Dong Wook is my favorite coffee prince..
Aside from the master Gong Yoo of course..
ahhhh Song Chang Eui, i noticed him in Wedding first actually more than
Ryu Shi Won (dont hate me)
Who is Jin Lee Han btw?

I agree with you there. I have never seen her in a role (yes, even in the movie "Hwang Jin Yi") in which she impressed me with her acting. She's pretty, but not drop dead gorgeous, so while she may be "safe" in an indie flick, will it ever lift her to superstardom? Somehow I'm not holding my breath. Now I'm not saying that a person has to be gorgeous to make it in Hollywood. But when Hollywood does NOT seem to be color blind, being gorgeous helps. Jeon Ji Hyun, whom I've never really considered a great actress either, is very beautiful and just the kind of "Asian" actress that western directors love to cast (Lucy Liu, Zi Yi Zhang, etc.) and while the latter is a pretty darn good actress, I'll continue to reserve my judgement on Ms. Jeon. Now, who I'd REALLY love to see in a Western flick is Jeon Do Hyun (recent best actress winner at Cannes). Such acting prowess! I'd see her in anything! And Jang Dong Gun...yum...ahem...sorry about that. ^^;; Just a slip of the tongue, um, keys...yeah, that's it. Whew...okay, sorry to digress. Anyway, it'll remain to be seen if she manages to impress anyone else.

I LOVE Song Hae Gyo!!!
Her acting is alright, but her English is well, I've never heard her speak English in any of her drama/movies that I've watched.
So yeah,,, When is she going to NY? My parents are inviting me to go to NY before Christmas, but I don't want to go... I've been to NY too many times. lmao
But if SHG is going to be there, I'm sooooooooooooo going!
Thanks a lot for the info!

yea, i didn't realise Legend was Lee Ji Ah's first drama! she is very convincing and pretty too ^^
