I love wit and sass and that’s something Kim Sun Ah has in spades, and an additional reason why I love her aside from her insane chemistry with all her male costars. She sells attraction like no other, when many leading ladies can act but struggle to evidence a desire to get close to the leading man. When Kim Sun Ah gets close to her leading man, I’m always tempted to call a time out and leave, closing the door behind me to give them privacy. Next week’s premiere of Masked Prosecutor will show whether she’s still got it, and whether Joo Sang Wook is man enough to give it right back.
Kim Sun Ah’s most famous onscreen pairing remains My Name is Kim Sam Soon with Hyun Bin, now a decade out since the drama aired to massive ratings in 2005. She was interviewed last week for Masked Prosecutor promotions and told that recently Hyun Bin was asked which was his former leading ladies was the most beautiful and he didn’t pick her. Hyun Bin apparently picked Han Ji Min from Hyde, Jekyll, Me (I think that drama turned him blind and stupid), but Kim Sun Ah chuckled to hear his choice, saying “It’s understandable, but I don’t remember who Hyun Bin is? Who is he?” Good one, unni! She then went on to reveal her desire to work with rising young actor Yeo Jin Gu, not in any romantic setting god forbid, but to play his noona.
With how crappy K-dramas have been, for the most part, in recent years, going back to tried and true classics like MNIKSS only confirm that the real deal will hold up with time even if the look seems outdated. Good storytelling is timeless.
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,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Clearly, the prettiest is Song Hye Kyo. Hahahah.
I know right!! He is indeed blind Lol. And not to mention Sung Yuri from Snow Queen is also very beautiful.
and since Song Hye Kyo is the one he actually dated.....
Hahaha. Who's Hyun bin? Who is he? I just love her; it has been 10 years, and she's still so beautiful!! I love Yeo Jin Gu as well. I think no one can resist being his noona.
I laughed when I read her comment for a different reason - MNIKSS is one of my favourite Dramas, real top 5 material, but I literally forgot who the male lead was. When Hyde Jekyll Me was in the works and people who were talking about HB, I said "who?" only to find out he was the lead in Drama I loved. Between KSA's performance and JRW's irritatingly good English, the male lead in that Drama left no impression on me at all.
You're probably one of the very very few then... because HB rose to fame due to MNIKSS and is probably his most memorable performance for many including SeGa.
Yep. Definitely one of the few, especially since I've also ABSOLUTELY ZERO interest in ever watching Secret Garden. Kim Seon Ah, on the other hand, is all sorts of awesome and along with MNIKSS has City Hall in my all time favourites list. She is DEFINITELY the reason I'll be checking out KimchiLibre, I mean Masked Prosecutor. :D
Fair enough. SeGa is a classic for some and overrated for others. Since you haven't seen it, you wouldn't even have an opinion on it. KSA is great in mostly everything I've seen her in but she's also been fortunate to have brilliant co-stars to amp up the chemistry and quality. Like HB and CSW in the examples pointed out.
You are not the only one. I forgot about it until very recently.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Tastes differ. So you can't call someone stupid or/and blind, if his/her taste is different from yours.

Seriously that comment is so immature, I can't even.
+1000
So rude to say the drama turned him "blind and stupid" when he obviously picked HJM to be one of the prettiest actresses way before Hyde. I really feel like Koala just doesn't like Han Ji Min. Period.
True + he worked with plenty of beautiful co-stars, if we were to talk about looks alone. I find Song Hye Kyo to be the most beautiful, but that's just MY taste ;)
HA! Good for her! And, speaking of YJG - he's SO adorable in OM. This show took me by surprise. I'm enjoying it thoroughly.
I love this lady. She's got looks, body, and brains - a master degree in performing piano from the States. I guess Hyun Bin answered that to not embarrass the entire drama crew he just worked with, a very standard reply to the media. LOL..he surely knew how to be politically correct in K entertainment.
Exactly.. But she's funny. Love her!
Hyun Bin actually picked HJM during the King's Wrath's promotion, so it was way before that crap that is Hyde. Those questions are so random and typical on k-news, nothing to take seriously or create a fuss about.
Love Kim Sun Ah's sass, that's my girl!
I will never understand KSAs appeal. I guess it's just differences in taste.
they who goes for physical only won't understand, Personality and brain will make you more appealing than ever
ya okay sure
They should have asked him - Who's the smartest? and there'll be no doubt what his answer will be.
That's my girl, I love her answer, Kim Sun A unnie saranghaeyo.
Well, it's not exactly the smartest answer. I'm a little disappointed in her...The actual response to these kind of questions should have beem much more vague and far more diplomatic. She has grown up inside this particular star system so she should have known better! She comes from a different generation of actors, she's educated enough and quite smart to be so straightforward as it seemed in her words. Experience and age should be followed by wisdom and a wittier sarcasm than this one...a british humour approach should have been more appropriate!
I agree.
I agree with this. I don't find the answer witty at all, just immature. So what if someone doesn't think you're the most beautiful person ever? Not everyone is going to be attracted to you, it's normal for people to have different tastes. I think she tried to be sassy, but ended up looking butthurt over a former costar not thinking she's the fairest of them all.
have you seen the video?? she answer it jokingly, at the time not even serious at all...she even answer it in the state of being funny ...
Her answer was very cute! I like it when famous people don't take themselves so seriously and can smile and laugh about things~
I liked her sassy, snarky comment. If a reporter asked me a meaningless question like that to begin with, don't expect me to give a serious answer.
I am sure it is just a joke. Lighten up, she is not dissing him at all. Isn't what she said British humor? "Who is Hyun Bin?"
Either way, I thought that was a great and witty answer on the dime at the moment. What else would she say, agree that the other girl is prettier than her, then it would show her as insecure or say bad things about Hyun Bin, then that is even more childish.
"Who is Hyun Bin?" this is used so often in my culture when you just have nothing else to say, and to say it as a joke to not offend anyone. I didn't take offense to what she said. You shouldn't either, I think it might be a cultural difference if you did. She did not mean it literally.
