There is only so much an actor or actress can do to keep one-upping themselves. At some point they butt up against an iconic performance or a once in a lifetime role. I breathed a huge sigh of relief when Kim Soo Hyun followed up You From Another Star with Producer, going from too cool super powered alien professor to bumbling variety show junior producer in a way that validated his diverse acting chops and avoided any comparisons. Sadly his YFAS costar Jeon Ji Hyun did not fare as well in her follow up role in the just concluded Legend of the Blue Sea. Going from superstar to mermaid continued the fantastical type role and produced no innovation in acting on her part. She actually came off lackluster, at times going through the motions and other times striking mediocre notes. I still love her and if she coasts on Chun Song Yi for the rest of her life it wouldn’t bother me, this experience is probably a reminder for her to stay picky on drama roles the way she went over a decade before doing YFAS. At least she was unreal levels of pretty in Legend, as she is here in the latest fashion pictorial.
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin…
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…

Hopefully she gets cast in a KES production next.
Pretty hard to top an iconic role such as Chun Song Yi. I guess that she'll be like Son Ye Jin and just hang out in Chungmuro for a while.
She is pretty, but her teeth distracted me the whole time.
Yeah! In mlfts I get distracted to, but atleast her teeth are natural and not veneered like most of the actresses nowadays.. look at kim tae hee , her teeth are more distracting ahhahaha...
She is certainly no longer suitable for the ingenue role.
Her drama was utterly boring and nonsensical, but that was definitely not JJH's fault. It only proved that a good writer can lose her touch sometimes.
The emancipated beggar was my favourite character in that drama, and I can't believe that I kept waiting for the mermaid to give that beggar woman some pearls... LOL
I dunno but I don't find her pretty at all....just a normal pretty face to me....even when in her teens....
Yeah, I find her beauty tends to be way overhyped.
I used to think the same about Kim Tae Hee, but recently I discovered that I find her so much prettier in motion than in stills. Like her recent honeymoon pics at the airport with Rain. She looked nice in the pics, but the video was WOW. Maybe it's the glow of newly wedded bliss? :D
I thought I was the only one. Yeah, she's pretty but not crazy beautiful. As far as her movie, I like her in Daisy of course Jung Woo Sung was in it. :)
She is stylist and elegant... but I don't find her the most beautiful woman ever either... Sometimes in the drama she looks "older" and didn't fit the innocent role.
But her body is really great for her age.
Xin Nian Kuai Le Koala!
I think she's alright but quite over-rated. Her acting imo is not versatile. IMHO she is limited to certain roles. I also don't find her extremely beautiful. Just pretty and I do like her height and her gorgeous hair!
Honestly for a veteran actress highly praised in her country, i never saw anything extaordinary in her acting. But i suppose nobody can criticize her !
I actually really like her. It's not her fault the storyline left something to be desired. Lol everyone loved her until she picked one lacklustered project...sad.
The thing is she is playing the same roles and that's the role she is best at from my sassy girl to my love from the star. Those 2 role brought her all the fame she has now
She was still considered just a CF star a few years before her previous drama.
......how are her roles in YFAS or My Sassy Girl in any way the "same" or even similar to her roles in her other hits like Assassination, The Berlin File or The Thieves?
I love how people look at two dramas out of a twenty year career and decide all the roles JJH played are "the same". Even better when they do it by ignoring fairly recent hit projects.
@AG I'm talking about about those roles that made her fame. Without MLFTS, Assassination wouldn't have happen. And her other roles are minority compared to all the actor's roles.
