At this point I wouldn’t even say K-actress Seo Ye Ji is attempting a “comeback” after her being a manipulative gaslighter girlfriend to Kim Jung Hyun scandal from February 2021 last year. It feels like she merely passed on one project and landed on another and next month she’s back on the small screen with Eve in the Wed-Thurs time slot. You can say that her misbehavior if you will was nothing to get cancelled over and that’s a debate for each viewer to decide if you want to see her in a drama or movie. In terms of Eve, she’s absolutely front and center and the first poster showcases her in all her dark swan revenge glory, it’s like Sympathy for Lady Vengeance but in television form. Objectively she’s very striking, it’s hard not to stare an extra second or two at the poster so nicely done to the production team. The drama is from the PD of The Uncanny Counter and the screenwriter of The Good Witch, Birth of a Beauty, and One Well-Raised Daughter.

Ehn koala it's Seo yea ji with an A.
It's okay if you keep bringing up the controversy because it probably provides clicks.
But I'm here to say Seo yea ji will always be famous and very beautiful.
Please h@te watch and write articles it increases her popularity
As always and on cue SYJ for Koala's PG gains clicks and posts for the haters to vent and rant cos aye if it makes them happier let this blog be the place to do so. Funny that the 'Eve' poster on tvn IG got 200 000 hits within 24 hours and rising. EVE premieres on May 25 (Wednesday) at 10:30 pm on tvN. Studio Dragon's + TvN daughter is returning to the small screen so being spiteful like all the haters on this blog against SYJ just increased her global fan base. Viu and Viki will increase their subscriptions too. Yeyes, casual fans and non fans are celebrating her drama so sorry to rain on your parade-she was not cancelled last year like you all hoped and wished for -quite the contrary.
@Eve is the name on -Too right just watch the posts here increase too-good for clicks for sure. The teaser dropped and it's out of this world! OMG I need to find Viu and Viki subscriptions links to sign up. 25th May earmarked for the 1st episode of Eve to drop. I can't wait. So agree it's Seo Yea Ji with an A.
I mean, good for her for capitalizing on her scandal, I guess.
But as for me, I'm not gonna watch anything she's in anymore, I'm simply not all about that Amber Heard “women can get away with anything because they're women” b*llsh*t.
Other people are free to do what they like, though, so if you want to still support her, you do you 🤷
For SYJ stans, don't even attempt to defend her actions by replying to me, I have my own opinion of her based in her actions, and I have my own moral compass, so just respect that. And you're going to be talking to air as I won't come back to the comment section of this post anymore
With you on it. Better people to support with less of a baggage. Kim Se Jeong for example. World is depressed enough as it is. I dun need to "worship" a resident bitch or put up with her hail to the queen B mindless minions.
Her lying on her education (Complutense University) was also another thing that got buried, as her gaslighting was the front and center. I rmb reading about Tablo and how he suffered coz his cousin was the one who initiated the rumor that he lied about graduating from Stanford (which HE really did graduate from), but even then it was a big blow, but SYJ was able to cover that part. He really has a very strong backing.
Damn she bold. She's really leaning into her femme fatal persona now huh. That poster is stunning though.
I don't care about her scandal. It was an issue between them. Not sure about the story, revenge stories are not my favourite genre.
But I really like Park Byung-Eun, he's a good actor and makes interesting choices, he was my favourite character in Lost.
Her scandal was about two people but when it pours out to affect other people...that’s when it gets really messy and is unacceptable. I get she will have fans who support her. She’s a very beautiful woman. Just like a handsome murderer a few years back, who the world wanted released because he was too handsome...SYJ is definitely too pretty to go unnoticed. I doubt I will watch her new show because it reminds me so much of her GMY character already based on that one poster.
The poster made her look like she aged about eight years.
If this drama do well ratings wise it doesn't mean she is back for good. After the scandal, the kind of roles she is going to be offered will still be limited.
People get cancelled for school bullying decades ago but if its recent it's fine? I just wish it made sense.
Nothing against her, and i like her acting in Save Me ,and Lawless lawyer but i'm against double standards . Yoon Eun Hye 's case, yes i know, i mention her often, but it's because i still find that her ban was too harsh ! Both actresses were called arrogant , but one makes a comeback 1 year later and the other was treated as the most hated actress of S Korea . 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Seo YE JI is beautiful but YEH had this kind of aura that made her back then one of the queen of the best photoshoots , and the muse for luxury brands as YSL, Cartier, Burberry, ...
Honestly, I don't think YEH is beautiful. I think her youth made her very charming and pretty, she had this bubbly energy that worked very well. She's still pretty but not as the usual Korean beauty standars and she doesn't shine as much as before anymore.
Seo Yeji's beauty didn't get recognized until IOTNBO with the glamorous outfits that highlighted an enviably small waist.
Both have good auras for photoshoots. Seo Yeji has a stronger agency backing her up and a thicker skin so she could come back. There is more drama programming now and a variety on lead roles now so she could come back as a darker female lead. Otherwise, she would be torn apart if she tried to come back in the more innocent roles.
This got me curious, What happened to YEH? Why she was most hated back then.
Seriously asking cos I don't know. Thanks.
plagiarism if im not mistaken
@nuna, I'm a huge fan of hers but, being objective, Yoon Eun-Hye had other scandals besides the plagiarism incident. I think with each one though her apologies have not been well received. Most importantly, her last two dramas were pretty much flops.
Yoon Eun Hye was not banned. She stay away from the limelight because she suffered from depression. I believe that her plagiarism scandal was not really that big issue. There were other female actresses that were hated before because of bigger issue but they are still active in drama & film. I think the reason why YEH is not acting anymore is because she is not as strong as other female celebs. There’s a lot of hate in SK, you got to have a thick skin to deal with haters & media. Her agency also doesn’t have a lot of connections for them to protect her & made good publicity. I remember how YG Ent handles G-Dragon plagiarism scandal.
If YEH wants to make a comeback, she should choose first a bigger & better agency. Thats what SYJ has now, let’s see if her new drama will be successful.
I'm a big fan of YEH as a person, but I think she definitely peaked. She hasn't chosen dramas that showcase she is versatile. Other than playing a teen princess, and suspending belief that she plays a kind-hearted boy, none of her other roles have been memorable.
Compare YEH to her peers like SYJ and the talent level is night and day.
I seriously don't get why koala won't stop writing about that scandal is not like she offended you personally. I don't condone what she did but is high time we forgave her because none of us are saints. To err is human to forgive is divine. She shouldn't quit what she does for a living just because of little infraction in the past.
If you don't want to watch her work then don't but stop forcing your opinion down our throat.
“...but stop forcing your opinion down our throat.”
You do know this is her blog and she can give her opinion about whatever she wants, right? If you don't want to read Koala's opinion, then stop visiting her blog. Simple.
That scandal is now part of her story. Whether Koala writes about it or not, it will always follow her, just like other scandal-ridden actors and actresses in dramaland. She's not unique or special. And like above user wrote, if Koala's opinion bothers you so much, then just go to other drama blogs. She's not forcing you to come here, is she?
How about you take your advice to koala dor yourself?
From 'if you don't want to watch her then don't' to 'if you are annoyed with other people's opinion that differs from you especially on that person OWN blog, then don't come and read'
Your advice is SO laughable as it has zero logic on it. And who ARE you to tell others what to think/feel/forgive? *eye rolls*. Again, don't force your opinion on other people's thoat (back at you. That suggestion of yours)
SYJ is good at utilizing fashion in her dramas to stand out and create buzz. Even if this drama doesn't do well, I expect she'll pop up on social media alot due the outfits that she wears. Credit to her though, she does wear clothes extremely well.
Wait, wasn't that only for iontbo? I don't remember her standing out for her fashion for other dramas. Also, has she done something to her face because I remember seeing her in Hwarang and I found her quite plain as compare to iontbo.
True, she was a plain jane before IOTNBO. Very average visuals. And forgettable. Which is why she was stuck in nugudom. The flashy fashion, gifted makeup team, bitchy girl boss attitude and her plastic surgery is what helped her finally get attention.
LOL. Her fans diss KJH's looks as a squid and say she was too hot for him and did him charity by dating him. But looking at her back then before her plastic surgery, they were on the same level. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yesss I keep wondering about this too
In her earlier dramas, I saw her but her looks weren't that noticeable
But some time near her iotnbo era she had a change and became Extremely pretty
And it wasn't just makeup and her outfits bcs the change started back in 2017 during save me and reached its peak in iotnbo
@Pop - Yes, she utilized fashion strategically in IONTBO, and it looks like that strategy extends to this drama too.
@Rem True. That is why there are a few incidents where we read in the tabloids about Celebrities failing to return the dresses/gowns and jewelry that they wore for an event that were just lent/rented to them.
But in the case of drama/movie sets, the wardrobe dept. sometimes borrow or buy clothes for the actors but they don’t get to keep them unless you are big stars and they specifically include it in your contract but they can keep only a few. But in the case of expensive brands, they are usually lent/rented from luxury styling companies.
She was never known for her fashion before IOTNBO. She only got to wear all those high end fashion pieces because it was a high profile drama with big budget and luxury brand sponsors. In all her previous dramas, her clothing are mostly affordable local brands. In other words, the sponsors were interested in the drama, not her. She is no Jun Ji Hyun.
Exactly! Thank you. Dunno what OP is talking about. Every time some nugu breaks out of obscurity, you see some people inflating them like they were some kind of huge star all along. 🤦
@Ume - well it looks like this drama managed to get budget and sponsors too, because she's rocking Boucheron Plume earrings in a still I saw, and those earrings aren't cheap.
@Amaranth. Stylists are hired to dress the stars in a drama. And the clothes they wear are depending on their roles. If they are playing a rich person, they are going to dress them accordingly with expensive brands. And these clothes and accessories are just lent to them unless a brand is a sponsor. So, it doesn’t really cost the production that much because they are paying for the service of the stylist and not the clothes itself.
@Rem - Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation! So if a brand sponsors a drama then the star gets to keep the clothes?
