It’s a testament to the fame of Yoon Eun Hye and the notoriety of Park Shi Hoo that even the mere mention of them possibly doing a cross-border C-movie together gets the internet all abuzz. The movie Love After Love (爱后之爱) is slated to start filming in November with an eye towards a summer 2015 release meaning the casting confirmations should be coming down any day now. It’s fine for anyone to have an opinion on this potential casting but some opinions are going to have a stronger impact than others.
Yoon Eun Hye’s own agency The House Company changed its name to Jarmy Entertainment last month and her official fanclub in Korea is now called Amazing (as in Amazing + Grace which is her English name). The official staff of Amazing have come out and issued a fanclub wide release that the admins do not support Yoon Eun Hye doing this movie with Park Shi Hoo and will be collecting all the fan reactions and submitting it to Jarmy in hopes of persuading Yoon Eun Hye not to accept the role. The response has been overwhelming – YEH’s Korean fans are almost uniformly against her doing this movie.
I don’t think Amazing is revolting but rather acting like a concerned parent trying to give Yoon Eun Hye good career advice. I know Yoon Eun Hye is clearly interested in moving into the Chinese entertainment market whether through movies or dramas, last week she was in Beijing at the first annual Chinese Korean Share Your Dream Short Film Festival where she was the honorary festival ambassador along with Chinese actor Qin Hao (above). She can still do a Chinese work, but maybe just not with this particular movie project.
I personally don’t think Park Shi Hoo should, like, never act again or slink off to a ditch somewhere away from the public eye. Legally he was not convicted of any wrongdoing and as a lawyer I can’t subscribe to public castigation by allegation only. With that said, I personally will have a hard hard time watching Park Shi Hoo as a romantic lead, he would do better at this point in his career in being anything other than some swoony onscreen male character. When a good chunk of the viewing audience associates him with sleeping with a drunken passed out woman without her consent, I’d say it’s going to be a hard sell styling himself as a dream man. Other than for his devoted fans, of course.
If I were Park Shi Hoo’s agent (which is either himself or his brother I think since he has his own agency), the recommendation is that he should play serial killers and vengeful assassins and mentally challenged underdogs, characters that have nothing to do with wooing a lady and selling his charm. I’m sure Park Shi Hoo’s diehard fans think nothing of seeing him onscreen as a lady killer but the general public is probably not ready for that yet. Love After Love is a straight up romantic melo movie about lovers separated and finding love again, there is like no other thematic thread going on other than for the lublublub part.

Good for them
I would prefer if she did a drama. The movie does not sound that convincing to me. YEH is one of my favorite actresses. I think her fans just want the best for her.
PSH is also one of my favorite actors and I would prefer if he did a drama but sometime next year.
I like Park Shi Hoo, been watching his dramas for awhile now. He has qualified acting abilities in all facets of moving making, wide range of talent. Would like to see him utilize his acting talents to the fullest and be appreciated for all that is valued. Despite his legal wrangle entanglements in the past, I'm glad to see he is making every effort to move past it and continue with his acting. He deserves a second chance and hope he continues not to disappoint his devoted fans around the globe. I look forward to his next endeavor, wish much success to him, and not to worry his family, his mom that he does well, and held with the utmost respect and dignity.
This is a little surprising. YEH's fans sure are very vocal about this. I do wish that she will consider their opinions though. I mean, almost everyone thinks this is a bad idea. Then again, given that everybody thinks that she should reject this offer, I cannot think of any reason why she will accept it.
Great movement by her official FC...all the best for you YEH, hope you consider it 10000++++++ times before you decide to take this project.
Think she should reconsider, especially if her fans are so vocal against it and for good reason. Surely there are other projects available that would give her a chance to further advance her career in China, if that's what she's eyeing.
Also, who's picking her projects for her? Maybe she needs a better adviser after this.
It would be wise for YEH to listen to her fans considering they are the ones supporting her fame.
& I agree PSH is a good actor but I just can't see him playing good guy roles again, if he really wants to stay in the entertainment industry he should just stick with playin baddies!
Let's not be harsh about it, given a second chance, he should continue with his acting rather it's in a good role or bad like gangster or crook, he should be able to be a success and handle whatever role he is given as an actor, it is an actor's job, craft; let's not judge the man, he's already been punished in more ways than one, there is two sides to every story, good or bad, remember that.
YEH should do a drama with Lee minho. They had great chemistry in PT. It is going to be hot all over asia including the most desired market, china.
LMH and YEH are two of my favorites. Hope there is a chance those two could work together before LMH enlist.
I don't know if that in in her power anymore...
I really need her back with a better project
She has an english name? why? Is she not originally from korea?
It's a common practice to have english names(or sometimes english nickname) for people from China and Korea so as to make it easy for people who don't speak Mandarin or Korean to call their names.
Yes, she is Korean. I assume that she got her English name when she got baptize into her christian faith.
YEH is a devote christian.
Eun Hye translated into English is "Grace"....
And many Korean/Chinese/Taiwanese people tend to have English names to make it easier. For Jeon Ji Hyun, it's Gianna.... I had classmates who also had English names to make it easier for others.
I remember in 'You Are Beautiful' the nun was calling Go Mi Nyu Gemma.
Eun hye means grace in korean. So Grace is just the English translation of her name.
Eun Hye when translated to English means "grace"
It might be her stage name. Sometimes Asian Artist have English name to make it easier for the international market. I know many Hong Kong artist has English names but it is not their official names meaning, it is not part of their ID or anything. I also have friends that has English Names as a nickname for school to make it easier for the teachers and other non-Chinese kid, but it is not on their birth certificate or any official documents. Imagine my surprise when I find out 20 years later that some of my friends or actually most of my friends go by a different English name than the English name they use in school. It's a Chinese/East Asian thing I suppose.
Love love YEH ...but not a gd idea with Park shi Hoo
It's not like she's marrying the guy, she's just acting in the same movie as him, so give it up, for chrissake, move on.
The fans are right, but I wish she could come to that decision on her own.
