• You know what I did when I watched The world they lived in? I was like, "lalalala he did not do that. He did not!" Yup, denial was my middle name. That was the only way I could enjoy the drama though, as you said, it had a great script and the "look-behind-the-scenes-of-k-ent" premise was so refreshing to me.

  • You know how bad it was? It was as if Michael Bay was tapped to direct The King's Speech.

    That was how fraked out unsuitable the PD was for the scriptwriter's work.

    I kept screaming at every scene, and then flashing back to the restrained majesty of Goodbye Solo, and wondering why the hell this hack was chosen for this project.

    • It was as if Michael Bay was tapped to direct The King’s Speech.

      Don't even say that! *cries tears of blood at the very thought*

      LOL Such a spot on parallel!

  • The World we live in sucked the joy out in me....it sucks!!!!

• AHHHHH YES! I was always supporting them in You're Beautiful!!! HURRAHH!!

• I am so happy!. I love both of them!

• i didn't really notice anything about the directing of Worlds Within. well, i usually don't notice unless it's there's a bad discontinuity or something.

  but i'm welcoming the news of this pairing though. and the learning of the gayageum sounds fun! i thought honey lee was pro in that perf with epik high a few years back. however, i have to add: why does someone always have to be a chaebol? is interaction btw two normal ppl not interesting enough?

• Okay..
  So we get the okay one this.. but not "What's Up"? What in the what?

  • Can I also say that is an exceptionally beautiful picture of Yong-Hwa

• Loving that Jung Yong Hwa and Park Shin Hye are together in a new show.
  Being an ardent Kim Rae Won fan, I have to definitely DISAGREE with your statement of "the monstrously bad acting" regarding "What Star are you from?" (What Planet are you from?). Out of my Kdramas, that is rated in my Top 10.
  But to each his own, what would this world be like, if we all had the same opinion.........pretty boring.
  Have a great week :)

  • Ditto. KRW was ok in What star are you from?
    ""what would this world be like, if we all had the same opinion………pretty boring."" that too..

    Off topic, I was hoping that when he comes back from MS, he may have a rematch with MGY. Luv them to pieces in Little Bride. Now that MGY is a pretty young lady, things will definitely be different. Fingers crossed..

    • ditto!!! ditto... my friend tangee!!! i so so so love krw and mgy in little bride too and that's one of my favorite korean movies as well. :D

  • Oh, KRW was fine in What Star. It wasn't his best performance, but he performed as he always does - perfectly wonderfully. Can KRW be bad? Er, no!

    Jung Ryeo Won's performance made me nearly go blind and deaf, and combined with the moronic script and the hold the camera for beats directing, What Star was a drama I hope to forget ever existed.

    • JRW is always viewed as pretty actress who speaks immaculate english but bit raw in acting chops, that I got to agree.

• Am so looking 4wd to multi-talented JYH & PSH collaboration. brings back memories of YAB.

• I don't think I'll ever get on this bandwagon, for a couple of reasons, but mostly because Jung Yong Hwa kind of scares me. He looks like the sort of man whose eyes you would meet from across the room, and then wake up from an unexplained blackout hours later chained to the pipes in his basement.

  What do I mean by this? DUDE HAS FREAKISHLY DEAD, SERIAL KILLERY EYES, which just made me want to make Go Mi Nam run far, far away from him because I was so sure he was going to pull a Norman Bates on her and strangle her with a shower curtain or something.

  • Hahahaha, oh, I feel the same way. Jung Yong Hwa's eyes in YB were deader than Yamapi and Kim Hyun Joong combined.

    BUT....I've heard he's pretty animated and alive in WGM, so perhaps the guy can learn?

    I'll watch one episode and decide.

    • I saw the guy in a starking episode with Charice he was startruck awful lot of fun seeing him with his mouth wide open while she hit the highest note in One Moment in Time....LOL!!!!But the guy can definitely sing mellow music.....

    • Spot on. Individually, he wasn't impressive in YAB but the four of them together were kind of cute. Me opinion of him changed after I joined me junior watch WGM. he was kind of cute. so, giving him the benefit of the doubt that he may be able to carry the weight of this with PSH. Hoping that these two will do well. He's got to start somewhere... right?

      Oh, Ockoala, yeap, do try watch WGM. he had me change my mind after me junior tells me that he is not SO wooden after all.. chuckle..

    • I don't think being a charming, animated goofball on a reality TV show necessarily translates well into scripted acting. (Case-in-point: Micky Yoochun, who has about two expressions. Two-and-a-half if you're generous. Yet another would be Kim Hyun Joong, and as much as I love that man and how spacey and ridiculous he is and also, damn, boy's got moves, I can't ever say that he's a great actor--a pretty receptacle for the hormone-driven affections of the female [and male, too, if I'm being fair] kind, maybe, but any more than that and you'd be stretching it.)

      Who knows, maybe Jung Yong Hwa'll impress me enough with his acting to make me forget his scary, dead eyes for a while.

      ...no, I just scrolled up real quick, and it's not happening. Besides which, I have a very limited tolerance for singin' dancin' youngsters reaching for their dreams, and I'm saving that for What's Up?, damn it.

  • Well if he's a real goofie then he'll fit perfectly well if the part he plays is goofie don't cha think....all natural....rather than all stiff and 100% WOOD. At least he can display a few emotions, yah.... well I was hoping for a better Kpop cast not a remake of YAB, one of the Girl's Generation Gals could have bagged that lead part right, what dya say (hoping for old chemistry?) was the cast base on an old marketing trend? High School could have never been better....I could never have enough of the Korean culture....oh a mesh of strong but meek women how did they ever manage that????I hope it's not reaching for their dreams high school musical dillema kinda thing or else it would be totally plagiarism....hate that....Korean are good in reinventing Playful Kiss lived up to up to my expectations....ciao!!!!

    • SHUCKS TONGUE TIED WHILE TYPING LOL :-P

• ahh i am sooo looking forward to this. was never a shinwoo minam shipper cos shinwoo was like some dead fish in YAB (but i forgive u jung yong hwa cos u were a fresh actor then) but if anyone as seen this guy in WGM, he just oozes charisma. assuming that WGM is as close to reality tv as it gets in kpop land, then it's quite safe to say this boy has a personality, and a very very winning one at that (hey he's like the most wanted bf material right now according to some poll) so i hope that somehow translates on screen. as to the PD, i loved the dramas he was involved in. no comment on the scripts, set direction and the technicalities etc. but i LOVED his cast chemistry. it supposedly is cos this guy knows how to create atmosphere on set. name his dramas, and a good chance that the OTP ALWAYS oozes chemistry..... and ah. since these two are alr friends in real life, i am expecting fireworks.....

• Wow..looking forward this..younghwa and park shinhye are good friends also It should be intersting..and abt younghwa eyes I think they are SEXY like his voice!
