I feel like a bad mommy who force fed my kids bitter medicine (the Lie to Me written previews for the last two episodes) followed by a sweet candy chaser (the spoiler I’m about to bring you). Trust me when I say I’m suffering as much as all of you, and we’re all suffering as much as our howling Korean and Chinese bretheren at DC LTM Gallery and Baidu LTM bar, respectively, with so much topsy-turvy nailbiting wait for the final two episodes of the most obsessive drama I have ever followed.
Folks have posted this spoiler in the comments section of the written preview for episodes 15 and 16. I checked DC Gall and it’s being discussed as well, so it looks to be all true. I’ll reserve judgment on what a “sweet and intense love scene” means after I see said love scene.
Upcoming spoiler [credit: MariYEH at Soompi’s Lie to Me thread with some edits from me]
With the upcoming finale of the SBS drama Lie To Me, it has been revealed that Gong Ah Jung and Hyun Ki Joon will give the audience a sweet and intense ice-cream love scene.
Ah Jung gets accepted back into the tourism ministry office on the episode airing on the 27th, “so in order to celebrate Ah Jung’s well earned re-employment back into her government office job at the ministry of culture and tourism, Ki Joon decides to give Ah Jung a surprise ice cream party. AJ is moved by this event and the two happily sit by the table and enjoy their ice cream together which eventually leads to a sweet and intense love scene”
We also have picture proof of the ice-cream party, with wuri Ki Joon acting the part of what looks like an old-fashioned ice-cream shop keeper.
I posted a few weeks ago the pictures from Kang Ji Hwan’s June Cosmo Korea photoshoot (click here to see the pictures), and now I’ve read the interview itself, which ranged in questions from his interests, to his recent projects such as Rough Cut, 7th level Civil Servant, and Cafe In, and finally to his personal life. Bringing you snippets of the interview which reveals a bit about the normally very private Ji Hwan and his own thoughts on his future that might interest everyone.
Select transcript from Kang Ji Hwan’s Cosmo Interview [credit for translation: huskydawg at Soompi’s Kang Ji Hwan thread]
Q: But you’re doing a romcom again. Looks like your new drama “Lie to Me” is getting a warm reception.
A: I tried to put a whole spectre of emotion into this chaebol character called Hyun Ki Joon in this romantic comedy. I didn’t want it to be just a good-looking well-mannered role, but a character who’s, shall we say, more temperamental.
Q: Compared to “Ripley” and “Baby Faced Beauty” the shooting of “Lie to Me” had a late start. Did you have enough time to get acquainted with your co-stars and the staff?
A: Isn’t drinking together the best way to get acquainted? Ha, ha.We got everyone together and went drinking. We got to know each other very well, and lately we go drinking to discuss the drama.
Q: What do you do when you’re not working?
A: I do housework at home.
Q: Housework?
A: I like to clean the house and do the laundry. And since I majored in graphic design, I’m interested in interior décor too. I spend my time decorating the house and making interior accessories.
Q: You make them yourself?
A: Nothing big, just small stuff. I like that kind of stuff so there’s a lot of props and clothes I bought myself and used in the dramas. Oh, I did design my home bar. The only thing I really spend money on is my car.
Q: Women won’t be very happy when men spend so much time and money on cars.
A: What are you talking about! I’m doing all this work on the interior of my house and car for my future wife. I want her to live comfortably in her dream house and drive around in a nice car. The setting’s complete now. I’m just searching for that woman who would fall for it.
Q: You sound pretty desperate. In this drama, the character decides to break up for his brother’s sake. Is Kang Ji Hwan someone who can do that?
A: Definitely not! That was the part I couldn’t empathize with even as I was acting. It’s unthinkable to give up a person you love. Even if it’s for your brother!
Q: You’re so emphatic about that. It looks like you’re the type who’d snatch someone away rather than vice versa.
A: Ha, ha, ha. I wouldn’t go that far. There’s been lots of women I wanted to snatch away, but I never did. I’m actually a very ethical person.
Q: At any rate, a lot of fans will be saddened when you find that someone.
A: Acting is something I do because I love it, but I don’t necessarily have the desire to be at the top. But when someday when I meet the woman I love, I have the goal to be able to support her so that she can live an enjoyable and happy life.
– So there you have it, Ji Hwan is looking for his perfect woman to share his life. Awwwwww. I don’t think you need to look too far, guy.
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…

Ok I'd fall for the house but the car hmmmm....I need a driver I might get a scratch on it and you end up putting me for adoption :-p :-D
lols. I know exactly someone like that. LOLs. I wouldn't drive the car even if I was given the keys and told everything's fine. Goodness me. You're lucky if it was just put up for adoption. :P
:-D LMAO I KNOW RIGHT!!!!
I'm here...lets share koala :)
Ji Hwan? Share? My Ji Hwan? No.
Your Kang Ji-hwan?!?
ah huh... would this be a time to ask the one OLDER should get him first??? am proud to say am a golden girl... hehehe so he's mine first...move girls...bwahahahaaaaaaaaa
You have Song Chang Ui. Go away. And yes, MINE at this place. I also pretend nowhere exists but here.
Lookee, my Ji Hwan and my Heon oppa even took a picture together so I can make it my desktop picture. They love me so. You all shoo.
But...but...we're friends! We can totally share! It's not like you only love our Kang Ji-hwan!
And yes, SCU is miiiiiiiiiiiine! All mine.
PS: yes, I'm aware there's some kind of logic fail there, but it's 5 am here and I'm not exactly thinking straight. Between the news for LTM and heartstrings....yeah, maybe it's better if I go to bed before I say something more, er, incriminating!
I didn't want to have to point out your epic logic fail in asking me to share and then using the word mine that involves about 12 i's to emphasize the mine-ness of your SCU.
But yes, you need some sleep. We have a long few days ahead twitching until we get our next LTM fix.
But...it made sense in my head, I swear! I will explain the whole sharing/mine thing when I regained control of my brain.
Okay, I'm going, but it's just not fair we don't even share the same timezone! I always miss all the fun! *pouts and scuffles toe*
That first pic - SCRUMPTIOUS suit!
So... where do we queue for the ice-cream cone topped with a touch of KJH ?? hehe.
At least something promising to look forward to in LTM !!
Hello...perfect woman is standing next to you on the set...Yoon Eun Hye FTW!
Your right.... why waiting and looking she is within your gaze and within your finger tip.... just grab hold to Eun Hye.......aja
not going to get my hopes up for the love scene or whatever.
While I read the interview, I made noises, chingu. Happy noises of GLEE! And I kept chanting "please, let that woman be YEH. Pleasepleaseplease!" Yes, ma'am, I've gone over the edge and beyond!
Also? Housework? Design? HOLY HANNAH! *____* BRB swooning forever now!
Sorry to burst your bubbles. The love scene is most likely to happen than what you are wishing for. Lol
Until I see it with my own two eyes, I don't believe it'll happen. I just don't want to get disappointed!
As for the second, 1)you never know and 2)a girl can dream, right?
hahaha and me thinks the lady is already fast asleep. . . it doesn't take too much to get your goat ..
LTM makes us all prickly for sure.
I'm with you @ Sere... Until I saw with my own eyes the Ice Cream intense love scene...I won't buy anything ...
Must have been burnt a lot to become cautious. hahaha. . . screw those writers and pds who let you down before . .
@bo
Yes, I've been disappointed before. Have you ever watched a drama only to realize you've wasted 16 to 20 hours (if you're lucky!) of your life on something that turned out to be one of the biggest letdowns ever? It happens.
C'est la vie! Shit happens every single day.
What a way to start a day! Taking my sweet pill mother! Thanks! My fairy godmother never fails!
KHJ was in command of that interview. Quite manly admitting doing hh chores! Must be a source of good pick up lines (do laundry with me-would you? Yay too early to fantasize.
I'm sooo totally for a man who knows the Kitchen....but not too OC believe me it will drive you crazy, like where did you put it away??? I just put it here a while ago....tsk tsk tsk :-D
Exactly my thoughts! It will be difficult for YEH since they share the same interests. Imagine the two of them competing on the same chores? **Unless they can compromise with cola and ice cream all the time**
Thanks koala...at baidu I saw the pictures in the magazine(forgot the name) june 11th translate in 3 languages (china,korea n japan) n it said that KJH is a ROMANTIC GUY...I can't read cause the characters are too small...KJH n YEH hobbies are the same..stay at home n like to decorate their own house..just can't imagine if they get merit..stay at home n decorate their house together wot wot wot..so romantic..just die to think about that!!!
Nice to know KJH for once. YEH's life is pretty much an open book. Lots of people know most about her and she is not shy sharing herself (except her love life).
I heard that YEH likes to stay home and she is crafty and artistic too!
KJH+YEH=MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN
She is! She always takes a million pics when she's on set and sometimes she helps with it, too. Like, I remember Coffee Prince and all the doodles and sketches she made for it. It was so.Cute!
Yah I remember that one, she was the one who draw them..it was pretty awesome and artistically done..
There's a self-made video of Kang Ji Hwan's apartment... It must've been a while back though. I think he made it as a birthday video. contrasting that tiny apartment to his souped up hummer is pretty interesting. It's on Youku somewhere.
There is an easy compromise. After they get married, Hwan can moved into Hye's gorgeous big pad, and they can go out on dates in his souped up Hummer.
Honestly, Ji Hwan driving a Hummer made me ROFLMHO. Way to be covert and unobtrusive, my sweet boy.
It's a hummer wow romantic, you may end being high jacked because someone mistaken you for a bank car....LOL ok anyway what a way to love someone....a house is not a home....hope he comes home long enough to enjoy it best wishes ;-)
I LOVE BIG cars... hummer huh... hmmmmm plenty of room to play with YEH...not bad... hehehe
A Hummer? There's a joke hidden in there somewhere, but I'll refrain from even thinking about it.
i wanna see a pic of YEH's pad. and KJH's car.do you know where i can find it? hehe... and i've been thinking about this for weeks now... i'm dying to ask you koala but i'm kinda shy but i braved myself this time... why do you call song seung hun "my robot"? hehe... jus tout of curiousity.. by the way, KJH and SSH looks hot in their pic together that you posted.. ^^
I love the man to death, but my Heon oppa cannot act. Occasionally he can bring it, like in My Princess, in the right role and right chemistry with his co-star. Anything meatier and he's just a giant robot.
I love how in that interview, he was SOOOOO freaking excited about his hummer-baby, he HAD to make the interviewer get in his car to see the interior!!! lmao, and then that picture of him with his hum-baby was so rap-star, I couldn't stop laughing.
Oh, KJH... I'm just so sure you're a goofball under that hot sexy exterior. This is why you and YEH are so perfect.
http://couchkimchi.wordpress.com/2011/01/06/kang-ji-hawt-shows-off-his-big-feet/
you're. welcome. hahahaha. gotta love couchkimchi's title for that entry!
Wow we have the thoughts- he is good looking all right but not much in acting, his facial expressions (oops w/o an s) is same same.
Godmother may I ask if you will recap ERIC's spy rom com? Please.. but if you do can you not ship him to his partner? He is reserve to YEH (or me?) hehehe
@Hwanhye ... that's some hummer... seriously.. what went through his mind??
(erm, u wouldnt happen to know a link to his pad would you?)
gomowo :)
@Lynx,
Tried to reply after yours but replied instead to Best Luv. Apologies for the repost. Just wanna make sure you see it.
http://www.veoh.com/watch/v3433009nwcEQT7m
thank you for all the links... you just gave me my energy booster!!! oh la la!!! can't thank you enough girls.... muwahhhhhhhhh
Yes, well... at least YEH would have the ca$h-money to pay for the gas he'd need to run that hummer. lol. I can't believe he really has that thing... with giant rims too. And KJH can use the residual millions he's about to get for LTM to re-do the streets of Seoul so his Hummer can fly through the city.
KJH = Big Pimpin'
@Hwanhye shipper - great link! Thanks!! His place is too neat! :P and i just picked up a tip ! hahaha ... so thats how you can hang your watches, sunglasses and wristbands! :) but seriously - whats with that mouse in the kitchen?!?!?!
I know the perfect girl for KJH..tadadadada Yoon Eun Hye! she has exactly the same hobby as him. Staying home, decorating her house, fashion design she designed the whole Joinus Clothing Collection and is an expert seamstress. She's been making clothes, curtains and etc. since she was a kid. She also made props and costumes and accesories for The Vineyard Man casts to help minimize cost.
She wanted to take up Arts in College but her parents couldn't afford it at that time, they always felt guilty cause they didn't have the means to enroll her in that, and even guiltier when she kept winning Awards at school for her paintings and for art competitions.
She said she wants a man who could help her around the house, saying that it doesn't matter if the guy is temporarily jobless, she can take home the bacon, while he cleans around the house and take care of their babies. She prefers an older partner and said she's never been in a relationship to someone younger than her.
She likes well-mannered caring guys who are respectful to their elders.
religion: devout Christian
Hindrance to KJH: 1. YEH is too independent, maybe he likes to be the one to take care of the girl.
2. YEH wont make the first move, she said she is very shy and even if she likes a guy, she'll never make the first move.
3. Timing! Even when 2 people like eachother but if the timing is wrong, nothing will come out of it.
In 2009 YEH purchased a 2 billion won villa in Nonhyun-dong, but I heard she moved out and her parents live there now.
The pictures of the interior are just of a model unit.

I feel like i just wrote a YEH resume.
AMAZING! No wonder I'm drawn to this girl aka YEH! She is a beautiful person in and out. Love and respect for parents gives her blessings in return. Too good for just any man.
Wow. That's some pad there. Sorry.. that kitchen just reminded me of the cola kiss... :P haha
You sure know a lot about her. They do make an excellent couple, and I believe the chemistry is there. I haven't seen such chemistry in any other K-couple before! Hopefully something will come out of it.
She is AMAZING!
Another thing that might be a disadvantage towards KJH is that he is too goodlooking. YEH said in an interview that goodlooking men make her feel nervous relationship wise and to her good looks is not a priority.
Good looks and caring, why settle for less when you(YEH) deserve the best!
@Amber, I am thinking that maybe she had a traumatic experience with a goodlooking guy before. she was rumored to be dating a goodlooking guy during her Baby V.O.X days who supposedly turned out to be a not so good guy.
What I like about KJH is that he seems to really take care of YEH from the bts I've seen him giving her a heat pad, fanning her, slightly massaging her shoulders and looked around for pillows so that YEH wont hit her head on the floor. I like that he takes care of YEH...I wonder if he does that to all the actresses his worked with.
lol, or her Match(dot)com profile... haha. I love it. She and I think the same exact way.
You forgot that she used to like bad boys but since she's grown older, she's realized that it's the caring, responsible older guys that make better husband-material... which is why 2pm and Kim Hyun Joong are sooo out of the picture.
Now KJH totes has that bad-boy side to him (even if it comes off as a bit dorky sometimes), but he has that similar sense of humor as Eun Hye and he can totally give her butterflies. But yeah, it all depends on them.
I'm hoping that they could find time to let the love blossom after filming... but since KJH plans to be very busy to compensate for the past 2 yrs being blacklisted, I don't know anymore. It's all in the timing.
Wow. That's one helluva crib. It's amazing. YEH single-handedly did all that. Girl is one amazing bread-winner. All before her 25th birthday: her own company, her own giant home she gave her parents, her own home herself... no wonder she can afford Louboutins, Balenciaga, Kuxo. Anytime she's here in NYC, she definitely hits up the high end boutiques. Plus she still finds time to do all this charity work.
I adore her so much... dunno if anyone's gonna be good enough for her (maybe Hyun Bin? lol). Hope KJH doesn't let his own pride get in the way of getting to know YEH. He's still rebuilding his career and all.
One more, she likes a guy who is "a little chubby". Hahaha. I couldn't believe it when she said that during her Cass CF interview with 2pm. Hilarious!
@HwanHye Shipper so LOLtrue I feel like such a dork for putting that match(dot)com like profile in here, but just couldn't help myself...I just had to.
They seem pretty compatible and attracted to eachother, but I wont be surprised if they deny that during interviews...we know how korean actors/actress answers...
Big question is, if KJH is attracted will he have the balls to pursue her or will he be intimidated like other guys?
Oh yeah @Best Luv she likes guys that's not too skinny, small eyes...like you said she needs a guy who's not afraid of her success. Cause it's crazy that at her age she owns her own management company. I think almost any guy will be intimidated by that. Heard she also paid for her brother's College education and has been anonymously donating to different Charity Organizations.
I pray that KJH wont be put off by all that:( cause you know how guys are.
@baby love that must be the reason why she is still looking around - most men would be intimidated by her success. Hope she finds a real Korean chaebol who will treat her right. Also I'm also thinking of the likes of Jay Chou (Asian guy in the green hornet) aww he is young! Any one of the same stature and not so good looking' there's a song that goes like this
@@@ if you wanna be happy for the rest of your life don't get a pretty woman your wife so for my personal point of view get an ugly girl to marry you@@@@ my mom would sing that from trini Lopez I think?
No need to be ugly though hahahaha
wow!!! YEH looks like she's earning more than KJH... I love her house!!! and she's sooo perfect!!! any mom would love to have her as daughter-in-law!!! hmmmm babylove, thank you for sharing YEH's resume, I believe a number of mothers are eying her as potential mates for their sons now!!! hehehe
but I still like KJH for her...I do hope the connection they emit onscreen happens offscreen as well... and yes, i believe timing is also very important... ahhhh to be young and in love!!! sighs
@Babylove
Could you perhaps be YEH's personal assistant??? lol! love the info.
@Bo hmm tough call cause I dont think she goes for chaebol type. I wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up marrying a non celebrity dude in the future.
@mizweng I like anybody who will be good to her and will give her a happy married life like what her parents have, who even to this day YEH says are like newlywed in love. It would just be a bonus if that guy is Kang Ji Hwan.
@Angel how I wish I was her assistant.:) I’m just a fan who is obsessed with YEH’s interviews cause I find her so darn articulate http://kpculture.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/yoon-eun-hyes-interview-vogue-girl/
I don't think who's earning more now really matters to them. Because in Korean entertainment industry, male actor gets more advantages in longetivity department. They usually can go longer than actresses go. There have been numbers of actor-actress pairings that man eventually caught up with initially more successul partner. And KJH is more successful in movies than TV, which is a plus for him.
I think these two can be a really compatible couple, but again, it's all matter of timing.
gosh, i love the batchroom, it's gorgeous!!!
Ok I saw the Baby Hummer....and all I could sink in my head was the comments about big feet and something about how to compensate with big cars....ahahaha so this guy has a deep dark side....soft in the outside tough in the inside like mentos....hehehe YEH can tame him I hope.... ;-) RED HUMMER???? yup RED is the color of confidence.... ;-)
OH YEH I think I'd get lost in that bathroom....uhmmm I think I entered here ah ani ani ani, where is the door OPSO???? odi odi odi???? ;-) ahihihi
@babylove - nice link!!!
She's got really nice proportions! *sighs* serious leg and arm envy. Since Goong days, her legs - super awesome. It doesnt look like she works out either! :D Sighs. Thats what good genes does huh?
KJH - you can be busy after LTM - but if you don't give that girl a buzz or two every day, or better yet, make sure she tags in your luggage - *really dunno what to say* :D She liked her last vacation in Tokyo!!! Big enough hint ya?!
wow! simply amazing! what can you ask for? YEH have everything a man (specifically someone name KJH) will want for a wife.
thanks for all the info. i'm happy that i choose YEH to idolize. good looks, well-mannered, responsible, talented and so on...
YEH & KJH = perfect couple
I've seen a video with better resolution but can't find the url right now. I forget which KJH-bar it was embedded in (either DC/Soompi/or Baidu... maybe Baidu?). Anyway, here's a pixelated version. Definitely still his place after Fireworks... but dunno if it's still the case now.
http://www.veoh.com/watch/v3433009nwcEQT7m
Needs to get my mind out of the gutter! I loved his bed ahahaha!
hehe... I just had to reply here anyways - cos it just struck me .. .that his place looks like an efficient bachelor pad.
I can so imagine him running the lines in that place. hehe. Sighs. Can he get more man-next-door than this?!?! And then switch back to being awesome and cool the next?
Btw, it just struck me, lols but what a reversal - in life - their pads look exactly the opposite to KJ's and AJ's. hahaha
@Lynx LOL yeah I also noticed! KJH's pad is more like AJ's pad and YEH's villa is more like KJ. Total reversal.
