I still remember how openly the popular messaging app LINE was featured all over You From Another Star. It made for great comedic drunken Chun Song Yi fodder for sure but might’ve even fit better into the other SBS drama Heirs since it’s all about teenagers there and who else texts as much as teens these days. Lee Min Ho was in Heirs and did enough PPL in that drama for a lifetime but this time he’s not even pretending there is a story proper behind what he’s performing in – Lee Min Ho just did a light fluffy web drama (or micro romance as the C-media calls it) with TW-model-turned actress Bea Hayden (郭碧婷 full English name Bea Hayden Kuo). She’s the girl who shot to popularity being one of the four lady leads in the hit movie trilogy Tiny Times (also starring Yang Mi, Amber Kuo, and Xie Yilin) based on the same name Guo Jingming novel. I couldn’t decide if she could act or not but she’s definitely easy on the eyes and a lustrous mane of hair. This project is funded by LINE and even has a cute punny title of One LINE Romance, with the Chinese title being 一线钟情 (Yi Xian Zhong Qing) which is itself of riff of the Chinese phrase 一见钟情 (Yi Jian Zhong Qing) which means love at first sight. I’m fairly certain the LINE app will play a critical part in the couples onscreen romance and thank god I already use to otherwise I’ll be tempted to see what the fuss is all about. This is clearly a Lee Min Ho fanservice for all his C-fans and as long as no one takes it seriously then it’s fun as eye and brain cotton candy fodder.
Other than the suit in the last video, Lee Min Ho’s outfits in the first two videos continue the hideous trend he’s been known for in the last few years. Boy simply has truly bad sartorial tastes. Key line green sweater? Oh my god, NO. Hippie grandma’s leopard print sweatshirt under a mauve hoodie? My eyes, my eyes! Thank god Lee Min Ho in a suit helped cleanse the ugly from my eyes in the end. The doggie is also super adorbs, Lee Min Ho needs to act with a dog co-star more from now on.
One LINE Romance Lee Min Ho Filming BTS videos:
This drama was apparently in talks with C-actor Ding Yu Xi before his just aired…
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…

Lolzzzzz.
Lee min ho has a fashion emergency.
I wonder if the bad fashion is his fault, or his designers', but it seems to continue since Heirs days, I remember people joking that he donated his wardrobe from that drama because it was too ugly, sigh, I think the only drama he had really good clothes in was City Hunter, without the pink pants, of course.
I think he looks gorgeous with the outfits ! And without of course kekekek
So whenever we see him wearing anything hideous; sweater or otherwise, we just assume they're Lee Min-ho's right?
LOL, it's a logical assumption because (1) he wears similar hideous outfits in real life in plenty of pics, and (2) he has enough clout to pick his own wardrobe in dramas - his wardrobe in Heirs was actually clothing belonging to him, his personal coordi was also his drama costume coordinator in that drama, hence he was able to donate his wardrobe in Heirs after filming because it belonged to him and not to the production company.
And no, Lee Min Ho isn't going to wear whatever people tell him to wear in dramas or real life all the time even if he personally hates it. Stars help choose their own styles. Quirky stars like Gong Hyo Jin and Kim Min Hee rock out in the weirdest shit all the time because of their haute couture modeling background. Lee Min Ho needs to develop better taste, it's almost a crime to be that good looking and wear ugly outfits all the time.
Hello Ms. K,
I have a follow-up question: if LMH has enough clout to pick his own clothes (for dramas and movies), does that mean that all the other actors and actresses are usually dressed by a coordi or costume person (people like KWB, KSH, 2nd and 3rd characters, etc...)? What about the older actors and actresses (the KMM, KSJ [of a New Leaf], those who play parents and grandparents types of roles [or who are that age]?)
I remember reading somewhere that the older actors (late 30's and up)wore their own clothes in dramas as well. Would you know anything about that? I have noticed that those older actors and actresses always look good, and always look the part, whether they have to dress up, or dress down (or dress poor), based on the character they are portraying. They have really good taste.
Is he just wearing stuff from Semir since he is their spokesmodel? Not so great advertising then!
But his hairdo though...
I would love LMH even in rags. His drama outfits are bad but his airport fashion is consistently good all the time.
Thanks for the article Koala.
Yes, his airport fashion is the best. And that's because he picks it himself. He never allow his coordi for his airport fashion.
You know what, he will be playing a beggar turned gangster in his Gangnam Blues movie. So we will finally be able to see if he looks good even in rags :)
Koala, I think you should check out his airport fashion. One of them even made it to GQ "Best-Dressed Men of the Week"

She's pretty, but her hair is so long. Is she known for her long hair?
Long hair is good. His ideal girl type has long hair trait. I bet he enjoyed it :-)
This is same like PSH-JGS did last month, right? Or this one is longer with more episodes?
