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 ^^

It seems like society is going slightly backwards...
Back in the days of no electricity, girls were getting married off at the age 14 and up all over the world, in Eastern and Western societies.

Anyway, I would have to say that this over sexualization of young teenage girls is really awkward to say the least. They're dancing around like prostitutes! But that's not the most unnerving part, what's really sad is so many people find it acceptable. X.x
Plus, they're selling their looks not their musical talent, which is practically nonexistent.

I'm not all to confident about the idea that SHK going Hollywood... but let's see. One redeeming point I guess is that she chose a low-key, independent film first.

Isn't Arno Fisch Austrian? ^_^

any chance her voice will be dubbed?

I've watched 2 episodes so far and find it a relief from the usual girl meets chaebol story line. Not that I'm not a fan of those but it's refreshing to also watch a drama about ordinary people. Anyways, I've enjoyed watching it so far and want to see how Li Wan plays into all of this as he's one of my favourite actors, not that the main actor is anything to sneeze at. I just saw a picture of Li Wan in this series and he seems to have lost a lot of weight. I hope he hasn't jumped onto the anorexic bandwagon popular with young people. It would be such a shame.

uh...never really believed that thing about her being a "natural beauty"...don't know why...jaded, i guess. anyways, she's def not the one to represent asia's actresses but good luck to her. i thought everyone and their cousins spoke english in korea, what with gazillion hwa gwons and all. why aren't these actors fluent in english by now??
