So Kim Hye Yoon may have more fan meetings and overseas trips on deck but it does feel like summer is coming to a close with all those concerts and trips and events overall for everyone, famous or not. She’s been getting much more media attention than usual thanks to the spring drama success of Lovely Runner and with it she’s hitting all the photo ops out of the park. Beyond always dressing fun and fresh, she’s so warm and engaged with fans and media who are snapping her it feels like she is genuinely grateful and soaking in the attention. Her most recent airport departure headed to Taiwan for her fan meeting showcased a very 90’s esque goth/punk but more feminine look.
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,…

Hanging little stuff doll around in handbags, mobile phones is trendy.. I will look for one I like...
@HL:Haha! I was thinking the same. It's always been popular in Japan but I am seeing it more and more here in Europe. Such a cute trend! I think will get one for my bag and phone too 😁
I have a small can of pepper spray disguised as a cute teddy bear keychain. Haven't used it yet and hoping I won't have to. Stay safe y'all
Wow!!! I better google that. Will get many as gifts. So unsafe these days even for girls. But may not be teddy for boys..unless it is for Prince Andrew..
@kimchirole: Thanks for the tip. I like the idea of cute but dangerous keychain
@HL: LOL at your last sentence 🤣
@Sunny...🤭
Don't get me wrong she is super sweet and beautiful but is it only me that thought that lovely runner was so overrated? Couldn't get pass the 5th episode ... and her acting was too much and cringe...but again she is beautiful and sweet
I also find her acting too much and cringe at times but overall solid. Good to see her styling team up their game with fresh and trendy look.
I finished Lovely Runner and found the drama overrated too. The OST is fantastic though. My biggest problem with the drama wasn’t the acting but how badly written the FL lead was. Sacrificing herself over and over again caused more problems. Just wished she communicated with the ML as she slowly found out the truth of what he felt in the different timelines. I never felt so frustrated with a character before.
Happy the drama did well despite that. It’s great seeing actors and actresses breakout after working so hard after many years.
I’m more frustrated with the murder side quest, like all those effort, going back and forth just for the villain to just drop die by himself like that?
Anyway it was right for me to decide not watch any romance mixed with thriller, the thriller plot is just so lazy
I feel like she is often asked to play cute, girl next door types of roles. I've seen her acting in Snowdrop and her movie TGOABD (haven't seen EY), and I think she can act really well. I'm not really fond of cute characters, but I did find the character, although a bit frustrating at times, quite cute and endearing. However, she hasn't really had many projects as I've seen, where she can showcase her acting chops. I see a lot of potential in her acting, so hopefully she gets good scripts to showcase her versatility.
@KimchiRole her breakout role was actually as a cold, stuck-up 'princess' and 'favoured eldest daughter' type of character, the polar opposite of the girl-next-door sweetheart she played in Lovely Runner.
Based on those two roles alone, she's got serious range as an actress and the technical abilities (flawless diction) to support it with, the main problem is that she's perceived as very young or only known for playing teenagers and so limited to those types of 'youth' roles and not taken seriously even though most of the second half of Lovely Runner showed her character as a 30something.
One hit drama with her playing a character in her later 20s or even 30s will make her undeniable, or at least a drama where the posters and publicity material aren't focused on characters in high school uniform.
Sorry I'm a nugu here 😏😅,replying to Royal We.
I totally forgot about the infamous Kang Yeseo. Loved that character. I don't know what it is but I just love those characters most audience love to hate. Yes I read her filmography. I have to say I'm really impressed by her list and awards. I didn't realise she had so many nominations and awards for 1 movie and at such a young age👏🏼. I feel like she's an actress that pulls you into the movie/drama with her acting. Her looks also changes depending on what role she plays and that's an amazing advantage to have as an actress. I've seen some ppl complain about seeing the same faces in every drama, but I don't think she will have that problem if she keeps her acting up and challenges herself with various characters. Honestly, Korean dramas aren't doing it for me anymore. It's always long lost childhood friends, lovers from past lives, parents not accepting partner, CEO with zero emotions. The plot is no longer plotting because we've seen it all. Lovely runner although familiar plot, was a breath of fresh air done right.
She's as fresh as a daisy every time I see her. I'm happy to see her getting awards, doing all these fan meetings and getting so many offers. No one deserves it more.
I agree...she is a 🌞... I am fond of her too.
She is so radiant these days. Haters gonna hate, potato will potate..me, just glad to see her enjoy success and relax, she was so moved by the fans in Taipei that she cried, this girl is famous for never showing her emotions to fans mind you...I am looking forward to her next project eagerly and hopefully it will be another hit project for her.
she is such a ball of sunshine and it has been a summer of success story for her. i am not a big fan of hers but i think she is a good actress who can pull off different type of roles and all eyes on what drama she will decide on.
Love seeing deserving celebrities get celebrated by knetz and kmedia alike. Its her year and seeing her winning popularity awards, ministry awards and undoubtedly acting awards later this year is a treat. As a fan, I hope she'll reject the drama with Park Solomon and with Joy. The production team and costars respectively in those are too weak. It will be nice to see her in a woman centric drama alongside a senior actress. If I could choose, I want her to take the Nam Ji Hyun route and work her way to have a similar career to Kim Tae Ri. But! One step at a time.
What acting awards are on about? Her juvenile acting on a teen show? And nam Jihyun route is very different to kim taeri don't be so delusional.
You are so active lately. Stick to supporting your returning girl and stop getting everyone else annoyed. And about awards, you really need to do your research.
She has Baeksang and Blue Dragon, was mentioned in Forbes list of 30 under 30 without any agency support or lobbying. Nobody compared her to Kim Taeri or Nam Ji Hyun. I have seen you doing this in every thread with almost every actress, you will say something negative and then start an unpleasant back and forth with people. You are that die hard Seo Ye Ji fan, aren't you? Relax and enjoy a day outside touching grass. It'd make you feel infinitely better than whatever it is that you do here.
Whatever KHY's career trajectory is, it is already infinitely successful compared to Seo Ye Ji's flop nonexistent career that vanished like bubbles in the air. Oh... and KHY has a baeksang, what does Seo Ye Ji have? Dont be so delusional.
Yet she still played a supporting role to an idol. Lol even with those awards she's still a nugu. Nice try, I'm not a SYJ fan I'm more of a ksh fan.
@Doe HAHAHHAHA you must think everyone here is as stupid as you
@Doe We should be the one saying - nice try. Its hysterical how desperate you are to convince everyone you are a KSH fan and not a SYJ obsessed stan when there are literal proofs - comments and comments you made in this very blog proving the exact opposite.
Your game is so obvious - you want the power and support of KSH's huge fandom behind you and for his fans to take the blame for your bullshit. You are especially hoping for SYJ to not get blamed after you realized how much your baiting other actors/actresses is biting her in the ass now that she's trying to make a comeback. Sadly, unlike SYJ's stans who are okay with embracing a fool like you in their midst, KSH fans aren't. And if you were a real KSH, it must absolutely sting to know that every single regular KSH fan in this blog sees you as the nuisance and troll that you are.
@Doe If you are truly curious about KHY's acting awards, there's a Baeksang in her list. Oh and a Blue Dragon. Wait, don't turn away yet, pretty sure she also won a Grand Bell. A quick google search would have spared you the embarassment here. Tsk tsk tsk.
Every single comment of yours is such clownery its an absolute comedy show here.
@Doe
You: "WhAt AcTinG aWaRdS aRe YoU oN?"
Commenters: "She has a Baeksang and Blue Dragon awards and was listed in the Forbes under 30"
You: "B-b-but... DeSpItE tHoSe AwArDs ShE's StIlL a NuGu! 😡"
LOL Moving the goalposts much after you've been proven wrong? I'm not even a fan o KHY but she's absolutely not a nugu, as evidenced by her recent fanmeets. Cry more. about it Oh, and now you're going to deny being a SYJ fan, huh, as if you can fool anyone here 😂
Damn, even SYJ stans are embarrassed to admit about being here fans now! To be fair, I would be embarrassed, too, if I'm stanning a psychopathic, manipulative mess like her with a nonexistent career and no prestigious acting awards to boot 😂😂😂
@Doe If you are "not a SYJ fan and more of a KSH fan" then I am not a regular girl but more of Bernard Arnault's daughter in law 🤣🤣
Poor SYJ. She is just trying to make a successful comeback but her own fans are just so determined to increase her antis. They've managed to antagonize 3 of the 4 major fandoms this year. BWS fans - over to you guys. 🤣🤣
@Doe -Can you stop getting into these damn tic for tac posts about SYJ cos as usual none of the replies stick with the actual article it just gives the anti's fuel to fire away on YJ. Good on you for supporting KSH but the damage has been done and you've been tagged under the fandom of SYJ even when you do more damage then harm and are more of an anti because of your posts.
Secondly to @4everflop @Thisisfunny @Rosie @ElenaS if you want to rant on SYJ and keep posting the same old anti sentiment then I aint gonna let up. I will reply back to you personally. Remember you started it when you didn't need to drop YJ name in your replies. Don't you think it's rude enough to continue taking swipes at YJ under a KHY article? I mean if you are so aggrieved why don't you write to Sublime her agency and tell them. You'll have a chip on your shoulder the size of Nebraska everytime you whine about YJ. Why are you so bothered by YJ that you can't comment under her own personalised article that Koala kindly provided? Far out how are you going to cope if casting news is announced? I hope you seriously all don't self combust. It's not worth it getting your nickers in a twist over someone who you've never met and will never meet. Good luck on your YJ exorcism though you're gonna need it.
@Mumma Bear
Who's asking you to "let up"? Go on then, bark, howl. At least you are including your own cohort of deranged in the rants. Thats a first. Control them and you wont have anything to bark at.
@Doe who are you trying to kid, everyone knows you’re a SYJ stan that is jealous of any actress doing better than her, which means you hate every other actress out there. But I don’t blame you, SYJ is like a street rat nobody wants to be associated with, unless you’re a certain someone on this site.
@Rosie -Dear Me on a roll are we? Now now if you read my post I asked why are you mentioning YJ in a HY article but because you're biting at the bit and you're calling me out to control who writes what, I have news for you. If you keep replying to me, you're going to look like the egg that you are trying to act all high and mighty because @Rosie ain't gonna be your user name it will @Bush or @Sludge cos your replies are so flat, unoriginal and boring and you'll most likely need to change your user name to keep posting back. So best you trot on along and go and pick some dandelions. Just for the record Doe is an anti YJ fan but everyone loves to reply to her that's a YJ anti just to call out YJ instead -which is really unfair but that's how this blog rolls. Do yourself a favour and sit this one out okay?
@Thisisfunny and @ElenaS
Aren't you 2 on a roll today wanting to mention YJ in your posts; still hung up on YJ return you can't help but post in a HY article so rude of you both to do that when everyone is talking about the topic you have to insert 'I hate YJ' into the narrative. Can always tell the fanatical and hateful when they have to mention another actress to make their day better. NO one would want you 2 in any fandom if you are so critical and judgemental best to stick being no mates Nancy's cos you're really good at that. You can congregate on this blog and run your meetings via the comments section. @Thisisfunny - No dear YJ fandom isn't the most toxic we were overridden by some other actress can't remember who but apparently we lost that title.
@ElenaS - If you want to keep ranting about YJ expect me to reply to you directly but please try and be creative and have some lol moments in your replies please.
4everflop- Here you are still wrecking havoc about YJ -you're not a flop you're successful because you managed to jump from the last article to this one still spreading your ill informed opinions. Must really sting knowing she was at a campaign last week and was trending too. Get over your bad as self and focus on your fave and celebrate your fave's achievements instead of posting on this blog your angst and hate against a celebrity that you despise so much. I could make a lot of coin if I was to predict the posts on this blog against YJ because of the likes of you.
@Wookie
Oh look at lil wookie with their 10 years later YJ jab. Better late then never getting in there like a chihuahua nipping at everyone's heels. Oh no but good of you to join under an alias aye cos you boast about being on this blog but can't put your real user name to use.'Street rat' now that's pretty inventive for a YJ anti I must say. Anger issues or is that No friends who like you issues? NARS issued a red lipstick for YJ so what's your address so that I can post you a stick.When you're bored you can paint yourself a big red nose to match that polka dot clownoutfit and bump toe hooves you're wearing. You'll need it everytime you visit this blog.
Lmao @Doe
What's a KSH fan doing in a KHY post. Seo Yeaji also spent years in supporting roles as did so many other actresses. One successful drama and her fans start acting like she's some top S-tier superstar. Ahn Eunjin was in last year's most successful drama and had so much critical praise for her performance but is still doing variety shows and supporting role in Kim Eunsook's upcoming drama. Career trajectories are weird and Korean showbiz is so cutthroat that fans just come out as bitter when they start spewing words like nugu to put down an actress. Not everyone is a Son Yejin or Kim Taeri or Kim Goeun who won best new actress awards for their debut movies and immediately became huge stars. Others work hard to get on a star level and that's alright.
@Mumma Bear I’m a regular reader but just had the urge to comment because it’s so hilarious to see even SYJ’s diehard fan Ms Doe won’t admit to being her fan. I get it, it’s embarrassing to stan someone so hated by the public.
@Wookie
Hated by the public? Yeah 3-4 years ago but go on and keep believing that because Sublime and Nars were confident enough to bring her back last week and the articles and photos were everywhere to capture the moment.You want to desperately hold on to the fact she's cancelled but sorry but she's not even. Allure Korea posted about her on their IG account. If she's so hated no one would touch her with a 10 foot barge pole. You're actually in lala land if you believe your own hype and can't accept the fact people make mistakes, they own it and get on with their life. Korean public? The ones that are handling the Telegram fallout with the deepfakes and who's low birth rate is going to give them an ageing population in the next 50 years? How about you go assist them out before you harp on about a celebrity you loathe so much. Your energy would be better spent helping the Korean public cos you share something in common. You're 24/7 bitter. Bye Felicia.
@Wookie Also what's your address? I need to send your NARS lipstick for your playdate on this blog since you yearn for relevancy.
Save your pennies for when she actually gets an endorsement deal, but that may never happen, lmao.
@Wookie -Look at the lil chihuahua go. So confident are we? It was written on this blog that YJ was cancelled a hundred times over but here we are in 2024 with her being invited to a NARS CF event just last week, so your crystal ball needs to be exchanged as your predictions are just whack. Everytime a YJ hater writes something negative it somehow ends up being the opposite so keep up with your wishful thinking cos it's doing wonders for YJ. Haha this blog is actually a good luck charm with all these YJ haters.
A breath of fresh air in a overly aesthetic entertainment world . 🩷🩷🩷
That is it!!! You are spot on..
So pretty! It's good to see her in more fun and trending looks. I wonder if she finally got a new coordi team because her hair, makeup, outfits are so much better recently? I felt like her team weren't taking full advantage of her looks before but they are doing so much better lately.
It's lovely seeing her get so much love and her gratitude. Things were looking rough for her career a year ago but now the perfect storm with the phenomenal success of Lovely Runner and joining a capable agency has turned her career completely around.
It's impressive how Lovely Runner has elevated the popularity of not just the leads, KHY and BWS, but even.some of the supporting actors too. Song Geon Hee who played the 2nd ML said after the drama he is happy because he has so many schedules now. He recently had a fanmeeting, will hold an overseas fanmeeting, joined a new variety show, just threw the first pitch at a baseball game, photoshoots, etc. Lee Sung Hyub who played Sungjae's bff has gained so many new fans too as has his band and has new editorials and invited to brand events.
I have to say I do like her outfit style in the photo above..I am just not a fan of all black look... I love some splashes of colour but that is just me..lol.
An unpopular opinion perhaps. I'm actually more a fan of KHY's visuals than her acting. I was initially drawn by her acting more than BWS in the first few eps of LR. But I found BWS was more consistent in emoting and his expressions more natural and convincing for his character. I agree with some comments above that she overacted sometimes. There are reasons why BWS has attracted a huge fangirls since the success of LR, in particular if his followers are new generation of Kdrama fans who have very little exposure to the early Hallyu stars. I don't think BWS particularly special as a heartthrob cos I've seen enough among the older generation. He isn't unique. Besides, I don't appreciate his visuals that much. The reason would irk rabid fans defending ferociously for oppa. LOL. I said it once on this site and don't bother repeating.
As to the drama itself, well, I finished it out of curiosity although skipping most of the school romance that was tropey and boring to me. I agree there was strong chemistry between the OTP. But that was it. Will I re-watch LR? Definitely not. Will I recommend the drama to others? Well, it depends. If one is new to Kdrama, looking for hypnotizing romance that doesn't exit in Western romance anymore but was how many Kdrama fans got started, then I'd say go for it...LR has those K-romance ingredients you daydream of. LOL.
What visuals lol, she's mid and her voice is screechy. Atleast she's getting somewhat attention when during airing most viewers were just thirsting over the ml.
She doesn't have PS and there are many people appreciating her looks and styles. That's enough. LOL
Lol why r u so hateful? I've seen your previous comments on the awards regarding KSH, and no I'm not stalking you 😮💨, but it's seems that u just comment to start fights. Your hateful posts r just that, hateful and negative. Anyway, hope u continue to uplift your fave and stop hating on other actors/actresses. There's too much hate in this world 🫰🏼
@KimchiRole Seems like Doe is the new Joanne (old readers of this blog would know who I'm talking about lol). Both from two of the most toxic K-actresses fandoms lol
@ThisIsFunny Who can ever forget dear ole' Joanne? But at least she was loud and proud in her worship of you-know-who. She openly praised her girl to the moon and openly bashed everyone else.
Doe, otoh, is too embarrassed to admit she idolize someone the likes of SYJ. Thats why she can't openly be a fan and is pathetically using another actor as a shield and scapegoat. In a way its understandable given her idol's reputation. I'd be humulliated too and would try to deny liking someone like that.
@Doe get off tiktok, your brain is clearly rotted if you're using their jargon ("mid"), how embarrassing if you're past the age of 15.
and you sound ridiculous calling Kim Hyeyoon's voice "screechy" when she's always been praised for her clear diction lol, you're taking egg after egg in the face it's time to log off and go outside.
@royalwe
Take your own advice, Why don't you touch some grass? Maybe it'll help you grow a better insult. Or maybe so some praying that your fav does a face lift with her haggard self, I'm on about Midwon btw, your girl is ageing terribly, id be worried and hope her next role is not some expressionless flower pot riding off a an actual hallyu stars fame, as mid as Hyeyoon is atleast she doesn't ride off her more famous males coattail.
The way people here acting as if this girl doesn't have double Baeksang nomination with one win, one Blue Dragon win and she has done like 3 drama and one film as lead in last 6 years, everything else was either as supporting character or cameo. Anyway, she works hard, has enough goodwill because of her work ethic, loyal fans and her personality is sunshine in a bottle. Sidus was a huge set back but she finally found an agency that seems to know what they are doing. Hopefully, good things and more success/acclaim is ahead.
Exactly my thoughts. I am so fond of her, I just find her so adorable and endearing.
Kdrama fans only care about awards if it's their faves who have them. Rest of the time they think awards are merely for bragging rights and that they don't count in terms of career accomplishments or successes. Been active on twitter/X lately and a lot of kdrama fans there think ratings and buzz are all that matters when defining someone's career as an actor/actress. Now if it's their fave who wins a Baeksang or Blue Dragon, suddenly she's the best there ever was and no one can talk down on her acting every again.
Are you new? Baeksang and Blue Dragon isn't a popularity award. Its the equivalent of Emmy/Oscar and she does have them. She is also part of at least 3 dramas with characters that are massively popular and 2 had caused national level of frenzied discourse. Kang Yiseo and Im Sol are those 2. Why can't people talk about them. I don't know who you stan but if Kim Hye Yoon is not your favorite then why are you here? I don't go around spreading negativity about people I don't like. Trust me, loads of people that I don't like. You will never see me wasting oxygen on them.
Although I think KHY acting in Sky castle was very good, I'm agree with you. There are actors who won big awards, and I think their acting weak and unnatural. And actors who didn't win big awards, some of them even wasn't nominated, and I think they're incredible good actors, like chameleons.
And yet I can't discuss their acting here. If you say about some critically acclaimed actor "I think his acting was weak in that drama" some people will show up with his awards list and will tell you to shut up. If I say "He's a very good actor", some people will show up and will ask "If he's so good where are his awards?". Like we don't have our own eyes or what? Why do I need to check their awards list to prove my opinion about their acting, if I can see it with my eyes.
And yes, most of these times these awards mentioned here to brag or to putting down someone.
You sound incredibly bitter. Just so you know. Coming to a post about an actress that has proven track record as an actress and shit talking her won't make whoever is that you stan more successful or famous or more respected. Kim Hye Yoon has played everything from unlikable to complicated to demure to bubbly character. Pretending otherwise just makes you sound like a hater that you are.
