• She's definitely beautiful! I actually really liked her in the drama I Miss You with Yuchun. I thought that drama was well written and the angst felt so good! Lol.

  • She is so incredibly photogenic and takes some of the best pictorials/photoshoots ever. I liked her in "Missing You" as well, and she and Yoochun actually matched well together.

    But, ockoala is right as well, she has had a series of stinkers, which is more glaring because they have been so close to each other. I think she suffers from being self managed, because she can't command the combo packages that seems prevalent in K-casting lately. She also doesn't have the bargaining chip of guaranteed ratings like she did in the past.

    I would suggest that she looks into a company like C-JeS Entertainment (top movie actors, JYJ, plus Hwang Jung Eum just switched to them as well), which follows an American style management system, rather than the usual employee style of management popular in Korean entertainment. That way she retains her autonomy, but gains more bargaining power.

    • That sounds like a great idea...Self management is not easy at all...She still has it all and it's a pity to see so many good projects pass her by.

• Gorgeous as always but you're right about her poor choice in acting roles. I would love to see her on the screen again as there is only so many times one can re-watch Coffee Prince! She has so much raw talent and is so likeable that it's a shame she hasn't been able to showcase it effectively through any medium.

• woah pretty!!!! and yea her recent projects are blah! not to mention MHIYD.... so come one girl you can do so much better!!! hoping she can turn around and score big in the future!

• I miss her on screen too.

  I also think that maybe choosing her own projects since having her own agency has not been very fruitful to her...Sometimes you just need the professional input of an expert.

  I hope we can see her soon in a good project.

• I think this is just a short setback in her acting career as she is now in her late 20's - very seldom that it will be easy to move from cute roles to mature roles. I still believe in her. She will find her own niche somehow - there is always the "one" role that she will shine again. At least, she is not giving up.Fighting!!! YEH. Thank you, Koala.

  • Not late 20s. Born in 1984 so she is 30, 31 in Korean count.

    • If she was born in 1984, her Korean age is 32 regardless of day or month of her birth. In Korean system everyone is already 1 year old when they are born and their age changes every 1st of January. For example if a child is born on 31th of December, the very next day he/she is 2 years old in Korean count. Sorry if I'm explaining what is obvious to you, but many people seem to be confused about it.

    • Yoon Eun Hye is 30 all over the world, and 31 in Korea!!!!!!!!!!

    • Sorry 31 all over the world but in october 2015!

• There's one pic missing.... my favorite pic... the one with the side braid..... But this photo shoot is amazing... and she looks amazing.

  Anywayzzz, it definitely is a disadvantage self-managing her own agency... but I can't blame everything on her for the dramas that are less than stellar... I mean, her last two dramas where chosen by her with faith on the writers who had successful dramas before... (I liked Missing You) and she did act well in the dramas...

  But I really do miss watching her in dramas!! T^T

• Well because she is just not good enough?
  Her acting always felt incoherent to me. Well about taste i guess

• Oh my god! Second picture from the bottom reminded me of when Elizabith saw Mr Darcy! Scream

  • Are you talking about the second proposal scene in Pride & Prejudice (2005) movie where Elizabeth was looking at Darcy as he was walking towards her in that misty morning scene? Just wondering 'cause I loved that scene from the P&P movie and now that you've mentioned it, YEH does have that similar EB pose. ;)

    • I think DramaFan meant the part where Lizzie confronted Darcy about breaking up her sister's relationship.

    • I mean when she came with her uncle and aunt and saw him with his sister at his house then she ran away but he followed her and offered a walk but she refused saying she loves walking. Though I can see the scene you're talking about and Kitai's scene too

      Sorry for the off topic

  • YES! Totally stole my thoughts! Omg the first thing that came in my head was holy, she looks so much like Kiera Knightley!

    • Only P&P movie fans would know, be reminded of, and would compare a random (but similar in pose) photo to a particular scene in P&P movie, lol... :-D

      @DramaFan - Oh, now I see what you meant, the Pemberley scene where Lizzie was caught peeking at the Darcy siblings, by Darcy, haha! :-D Didn't think of that before, but that also works with that YEH pic you were talking about. Still, I think the second proposal scene with Lizzie looking at Darcy walking towards her is more similar to YEH's pose or the way her head was position and looking to her left. ;-)

• In my opinion she is a mediocre actress!! And kinda overrated as well...

  • You know I didn't want to be the first to say it here, so I am glad someone brought it up first. I would not say she is mediocre. That is too strong, but she is not quite really good. I would say she an OK actress.

    Please don't hurt me Internet.

  • There are really overrated actresses in Korea that are older or younger than Yoon Eun Hye and that win achievement awards so easily. But before saying so did you watch Coffee Prince or I Miss You ?

    • Yes i actually watched them. Pkus i watched lady castle,goong and vineyard man!! Based on all those dramas i still think she is nothing special..

    • That is your opinion, I watched all her movies and dramas so far and appreciated each of them.

    • Yes its my opinion, i didn't say otherwise!! There are a lot of people that agree with me and a lot that disagree, like you!! So to each his own!!

    • Well, only checking if before our "mediocre and overrated" statement, you have tried hard to know Yoon Eun Hye's works, before judging! Good for you

  • Most of people seem to be mixed but this is the first time hearing she is mediocre hence the checking question.

  • @ramona - so you say, YEH is "mediocre," but that's your opinion, of course. It's not a fact that she is though because other people (like myself think she is a very good actress and multi-talented...) see different things. To each his/her own. But to say say, she's "overrated," I disagree. She hasn't been seen acting on screen since her last TV drama (2013) and she's barely in movies (or hardly on the big screen...but she finally have a new one soon with After Love movie). Sure, she can be seen lately through her recent Vogue magazine pictorial spread (but then again, that's only her first one this year, so far) and a few brands she's endorsed through their adverts, but she's not everywhere and in your face to annoy you every second as to make you say she's "overrated." In the past when she was at the peak of her successes with her Goong and Coffee Prince dramas (as I'm sure she was everywhere and all over the place, which was great for her fans and not so great with those anti-fans), I might have agreed with your saying she's overrated...but not these days where she's been in low profile in acting for the last two years. If anything, compared to current K-actresses who are either closer to her age or younger, some of them (not all) can't act, yet they're getting more projects (not their fault as they have good agencies) and everywhere (on TV, films, and CFs) than YEH (while she manages her own, she takes her time to pick her roles/dramas good or not so good) ...and yet I don't hear people commenting and saying they're overrated, when they actually are. YEH, on the other hand, is an easy target for naysayers just because she's actually underrated as an actress (and I know I'm not the only one who think so), humble, kind, multi-talented and gorgeous (a rarity in K-Ent), intelligent, and just a wonderful person (though I've never meet her in person, but she seems like it through her interviews and the people she had previously worked with). But, of course, you are free to disagree with me in saying she's rather underrated than overrated. Even those who are not fans of her are missing her drama land these days. :)

    P.S. Sorry for the long post... :D

    • Being overrated has nothing to do whith whether an actress is always in the spotlight or as you said in your face all the time. It has to do about her acting only and the fact that she is considered an A list actress when in my opinion she is mediocre. And i don't compare her with anyone else since we are talking about her in this post alone, i know that there are worse actresses than her that are considered Alisters as well but since we are refering to her i won't talk about other actresses. Also this has nothing to do about whether she iss a good human being, i don't know her personally so can't judge on that, but i can judge her for her acting since I've seen 6 of her dramas plus a movie..and she is not tgat good, I'm sorry!

  • It probably implied that being overrated also depends on excessive media coverage adding the judgements of value on complete or main works!

• Korean never considered her talented, just moderate, thry cannot stand the way she speaks.

  • And?

  • Really, South Koreans never thought she was talented ?????????

  • Her pronunciation keeps improving, but Yoon Eun Hye mentionned in an interview that because of pronunciation matters they will never offer her a doctor's role. Yoon Eun Hye KEEP IMPROVING!

  • Really?!! How did you know, did all Koreans (or one "Korean" person) really say that? Do you have documents of them saying so? Hmm, you don't speak for all Koreans to say what they think of YEH. Perhaps you think so, but please don't include or generalized Koreans just because maybe it's "you who don't consider her talented, just moderate, and can't stand the way she speaks."
