It must be hard being Yoon Eun Hye, so popular as an entertainer that her every move garners comment and conjecture. I love her as an actress but it’s hard to discuss her craft without fans and antis mucking up the discussion with personal swords and shields. Missing You was her first foray into traditional K-melodrama and its low-teens ratings but copious media coverage would probably render its success a rather mixed bag. I thought acting-wise she was the most consistent of the three leads (which isn’t saying much since one character completely had a personality and motivation transplant midway through) but her character had the most non-existent thoughtful character development. One minute she was a rape-scarred fashion designer escaping from her past and after some smoldery staring and one hot kiss all her unresolved trauma magically evaporated and she was back being her old self, only a bit wiser. It’s a beyond ridiculous message all things considering, but she sold it convincingly as only she can do. Even Moon Geun Young, as hard as she tried, couldn’t quite pull off a fully convincing conclusion for her very haphazardly written character in Cheongdamdong Alice. Yoon Eun Hye held a solo press conference this week where she chatted about her recent experiences and future plans. She’s been receiving tons of scripts, especially for movies, and is seriously considering her next step. Whatever she picks, she plans to start filming it right away. She also expressed a desire to do a sageuk soon. I totally support that – one cannot really challenge acting limits without donning a sageuk costume at some point.
She expressed a recently sense of loneliness, likely brought about by her getting closer to turning 30 soon. During the filming of MY, that feeling of loneliness was especially keen. She wished for someone to talk to on the mundane things, such as asking if the person ate or what he did today. When Yoochun was filming and she was standing by, she would feel the sadness set in. It was much better when she was kept busy. For the longest time she told herself she didn’t need a guy, but now she really wants to meet the right guy and isn’t averse to going public about a relationship. She revealed that she’s never dated a guy younger than her, but her dating history is very slim to begin with. What she hates the most about going public is gaining antis because of the relationship.
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…
Oh what a great surprise! This drama was announced two years ago and I've long…

As successful as she is, she also needs someone to love and take care of her for the rest for her life...Maybe she already has one we just don't know it and this conference is just her way of telling us if we are keen enough...Whoever she'll end up with I will continue to love and support her..I ship her with a certain oppa..and I will be happier if they end up for real.
at the end of the day we are all just people, here's ordinary people http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDMpkWiex60
Ok... so the YEH and KJH ship is not sailing in real?
Sigh...
this ship has never started,,,.haha
Um. Hello. Kang Ji Hwan. Rawr. Problem solved.
She needs help in choosing her next project. Her past projects have been duds. She should ask other successful actors for advice.
I dont think u can pick a good project unless its ur luck, they dont know the script until they sign contact with production, they only know the synopsys, so its hard to pick, noone want a bad project in the first place, do u agree with me?
She is not stupid to do a crappy project if she knew it is
Not quite. You can carefully consider who is doing the project, who the director and the writers are and what kind of things they have done in the past. That will tell you quite a bit - though of course not everything. You can also weigh who else has signed on, although that's a bit trickier.
No one wants a bad project but some people also have less of a choice (they need work - though this probably doesn't apply so much in her case) and we also will have some differences in criteria of what makes a good project and what not.
From the sound of it, it's not just a guy she needs, but some good girlfriends, fierce ones like Ha Ji-won who can impart their slightly older wisdom on her, or the ones like those Taiwanese actresses that galloped off to Boracay to celebrate turning 30 with joie de vivre.
@alua, she is already friends with Ha Ji Won, Son Ye Jin and Gong Hyo Jin.
She was spotted having lunch with Ha Ji Won and Son Ye Jin awhile back.
The writer's has a pretty good resume. She penned Can You Hear My Heart, Last Scandal and Smile You.
The tricky part of picking out a korean drama, is that all they give their stars are synopsis, they dont give out a finished script which is subject to many changes during the shoot. Not to forget the live shoot. There's really no way of knowing if the project they pick out will turn out great. It involves a lot of luck. I have seen a lot of drama that involve PD's and writers with impressive resumes, but drama turned out a nightmare. The live shoot during I Miss U was totally insane, they were still shooting a few hours before the last episode was aired. Yoon Eun Hye's body could no longer take it that she fainted & was rushed to 2 hospitals and had 4 IV drips.
I think it's the system that needs to change.
@Alua: She is friend with a lot of top actresses but still i dont think her friend can help her pick her project because they have different taste, what if they pick something that yeh doesnt like.
Are you talking about her acting or her project? There is nothing wrong with her acting, its just that the script wasnt written well which she cant help it.
As for actors that she will pair with, i know a lot of actresses who look for a good and top actor to get paired withc but yeh doesnt care about that. As an actress, u can rely on the other people, so she doesnt care who she will be going to pair with... Thats a reason why she has never gotten a good actors like what we all expected
She really should do a saguek!
It breaks my heart when these adored by many stars talk about their loneliness. Being a star certainly doesn't guarantee happiness in life.
I wonder if she'll take Sword and Flowers opposite Kim Nam Gil?
I hope sooooooooooooooooooooooo.
YEH and my Bidam together in a sageuk?! I WANT! Please, dramagods, PLEASE, make it happen!
Go YEH! Fighting.
I definitely think she should consider a sageuk. :) I love the genre. Anyways, I haven't been too into any of her recent project choices except drama crack LTM for me. I think the writing just really kills it... 2 choices in a row.
Hope she can find the happiness that she seeks in a partner for life. :) I think that antis are just a fact of life for them. These antis just don't give up. :(
Wel I guess dating Yoochun is out of the question since he's got a massive fans ready to attack her if she ever dates Yoochun.
True...which is sad. The sansengs alone would make her think twice even if it was a possibility.
Actually, fans are supportive of these two..... Their fans, international and Korean, are finding themselves falling for their idol's partner. YC's fans are falling for YEH and YEH's fans are falling for YC.... It is rather unexpected and heartwarming, actually.... We thought that it will get ugly between the fandoms but they are actually polite and welcoming of each other....
Saessang fans are different.... You have to associate them on a different category from the loyal fans who want the best for their bias...
The constancy of my love for Yoon Eun Hye beats my k-drama addiction, which has waxed and waned over the years. In fact these days, I am experiencing a major glut in my watching experience because not a single show has caught my interest after School 2013.
But I did finish IMY, yes, you guessed it, only because YEH is in it. I find her beautiful inside and out. I am saddened to learn that she is experiencing loneliness in this season of her life. I hope it is short-lived and that love will find her soon. She deserves to be treasured and adored so I hope she will not settle for less than the best.
I used to ship her with KJH, like really crazy. Recently though, I have been hearing a lot of things about him, so I am beginning to think that perhaps, YEH is better off with someone more mature, smart, kind, loving, sweet, romantic, more... just more.
There is nothing wrong with Kang Ji Hwan. He only has problem with his management company. On personal level, he is a great guy with tons to offer to whoever the lucky girl is. If you dont think that he is good enough for Yoon Eun Hye, then I dont think that she is good enough for him either. Please dont make a statement that sounded degrading KJH. The ship never sailed despite so much obvious signs and tht may be because they outgrew the feelings as both have commitments elsewhere. Yoochun used to have long going didpute
Come on. There is nothing wrong with Kang Ji Hwan. He only has problem with his management company. On personal level, he is a great guy with tons to offer to whoever the lucky girl is. If you dont think that he is good enough for Yoon Eun Hye, then I dont think that she is good enough for him either. Please dont make a statement that sounded degrading KJH. The ship never sailed despite so much obvious signs and tht may be because they outgrew the feelings as both have commitments elsewhere. Yoochun used to have long going dispute with his previous management company (SM) and you didn't even mention anything that sounded like he is the one with the problem, like the way you bring down KJH.
"mature, smart, kind, loving, sweet, romantic, more… just more."
Not a fan, but this is nothing more than idle conjecture. How do you know he's not all that and more?
Netizens be psychic, yo. :P
@ wits
So you base your opinion about a person (in this case KJH) on what you hear about him? Really? Have you even verified if the things you've heard are factual, let alone truthful, before you formed your judgment?
I for one have heard a lot of things about this or that actor/actress. Did I take them as gospel truths? Hell, no. Because I know that in this day and age, everyone can talk about anything and anyone, anytime and anywhere they want. But reason dictates that I need to filter what I hear in order to separate truth from trash.
Agree,100% with you, rainqueen. For all we know, YEH was trying to prep fans for her future plans to settle down. Btw, is it common for stars to have their PC to discuss about love, etc?
i agreed this man seems to be problematic though solved but why create such problem and made himself a troublemaker. Does not mean that mature/older men has a better mind set!
i want hyun bin and yeh drama or movie anything as long as it's both of them....pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee drama god! make it happen!!!
I think that everyone's waiting for this to happen...
yes, please...
So i'm guessing her and KJH dated for awhile but it didn't work out.
I feel sad for her that she feels that way but my goodness, she was so candid about her personal feelings! Very interesting.
