Park Shin Hye is hard for me not to love even if her roles have been hit-and-miss. She’s still young but picks different projects and tries hard each and every time. Her all-natural looks, which look exactly the same as when she debuted at age 13 in Stairway to Heaven in 2003, is so easy on the eyes and a breath of fresh air in an increasingly sliced and taut pool of homogenized young actresses. What works for me is that she really can look like the girl next door and rather unassuming such as the way she was styled for Heirs, and then turn around and look edgy and eye-catching when she feels like it. If her stylist for award events can stop dressing her to look like an actress in her late 30s then she could easily start wowing on the red carpet as well. This week Korean tabloid newspaper Dispatch published a story and accompanying paparazzi photos of Park Shin Hye that is just so ridiculously non-newsworthy and utterly mundane I simply had to share. The upside is that Park Shin Hye looks fantastic with her overall glow and some perfectly applied eyeliner, way better on an off day when she’s hanging out with friends in real life then she looked in the entirety of Heirs with a hair and make up team behind her. Dispatch caught Park Shin Hye at a cafe near its office having tea and macarons with friends and decided to take pictures of her and write a story about how much fun she was having drinking tea and eating macarons with her friends. No really, that was the entirety of the story. That it was a slow news day is an understatement. The bored media is probably wishing one of its idol stars is having a Justin Beiber-level meltdown right about now. The article even wrote that Park Shin Hye was happy whipping out her wallet and paying for the group, because what’s a treat of tea and macarons among friends, right? I will use this admittedly pointless post to write about something substantive with respect to Shin Hye – she’s about to start filming her next project the high profile Joseon K-movie with Han Seok Kyu, Go Soo, and Yoo Yeon Seok called Royal Tailor (Sanguiwon) about the rivalry between an established master royal tailor and a genius upstart who challenges the existing hierarchy. Han Seok Kyu is the establish elder tailor and Go Soo is the innovative new tailor and both design clothes for the lonely Queen played by Park Shin Hye and her cold aloof King husband played by Yoo Yeon Seok. This sounds interesting and could be a great acting opportunity for Shin Hye so I’m definitely looking forward to it.

Yah!! Park shin hye and yoo yeon seok!!!
Slow news day is an understatement. Lol. But I do have to admit I saw Dispatch and held my breath a bit, being she's never had a real "scandal," only harmless rumors.
She looks absolutely gorgeous though. Hope now that she's getting older, she'll take more roles that require more edge from her.
Definitely been looking forward to the movie and I'm sure it'll be fun to work with YYS so soon after her BFF.
What handbag is she carrying? Anything and everything will look good on lovely Shin Hye.
It looks like Chun Song Yi's handbag.
Park Shin Hye is so gorgeous and a total natural beauty! I love that she looks like any girl hanging with her friends (besides the fact that she's actually a popular actress). Her style is awesome and her make-up here is flawless. Btw is she wearing a chambray/denim shirt with jeans?! If she is than I applaud her, not many people can pull off the Canadian Tuxedo and wear denim on denim well. :P
Ms Koala, it's macarons.
In the US they are called macaroons. The French word is macrons.
These sweets are called "macarons" not "macrons" in France. ;)
Macaroons are made with coconuts and maracrons are mostly with almonds. Btw im from usa.
She almost always looks WAY better in these sorts of shots than onscreen. It's as if her style team hate her and try really hard to hide what a naturally attractive young woman she is, unsliced.
Huh? She piscks different projects each time? Like what? She always plays a cinderella type role and teenybopper role. She is utterly overrated.
I`m glad you mentioned it first, so i can trail on your opinion and not get bombed by obsessive Park Shin Hye fans lol. But i agree.
That's true. She plays same characters most of the time. On top of that she is very over rated because clearly she has 2 or 3 fixed expressions throught her career. She needs to work a lot on her acting.
I know right. The fact that she's been in the industry for a decade, she didn't seem to really mature in her skills.
I give her credit for taking on the role of Go Dok Mi from flower boy next door. It might actually be my favorite portrayal from her.
That said, i really do hope she picks edgier roles because she has yet to take on a role that turned on the switch from an actress i like to an actress i love.
I need to see her angry, bitchy, or fierce. I need for her to let go of her past innocent image and just move on to bigger and more mature roles, because she can act.
*picks*
Sorry but these pictures just looks staged to me. Her company is famous for major media play.Her company has turned me totally off they make her seem like a famewhore!
I was going to say the same thing.
Maybe her company gave the photo op to the press who figured, what the heck, she IS pretty and all. Throw in a slow news day and voila! Article/press release about nothing sees the light of day.
Lol. The pictures look staged.
