This post might be a bit late but I had to share it with you.
Earlier this year I started watching the Korean drama based on the Japanese manga "Hana Yori Dango".
I don't want to talk about the drama here, but I just want you to keep an eye out for these actors who, despite a minor role in the hit drama, have shown tremendous talent. They gave me the will to follow them on their next productions. I truly wish them the best!
Ladies first:
Lee Shi Young: she is a new actress, born in 1982, and she played her role of a two-faced rich girl to the perfection in my humble opinion. She really got me into the drama. She wasn't overacting the bitchy side of her character at all. She is very talented so watch out for her!
Kim Huyn Joo: So beautiful woman. She played the role of Goo Jun Pyo's big sis. I love big sis characters cos I am a big sis myself lol. I think she is beautiful and classy. No need to say more.
Lee Min Jung: The energy she brought to her character in Boys Over Flowers made me want to be her best friend! If I had to describe her in 3 words, they'd be, fresh, cute, fun. I can't wait to see her act in another drama or movie.
Guys:
Kim Joon: I decided to watch the drama because of Lee Min Ho (he caught my eye in I am Sam, with Big Bang's T.O.P). Of course, the 4 guys playing F4 are eye candies (lol) but Kim Joon caught my attention little by little. I remember loathing him in the first couple episodes. But now, he is one I keep an eye out for. Wish him the best for the rest of his acting career, and also in music with his band T-Max.
Jung Eui Chul: He appeared in the very first episode as the boy that the heroine saves from suicide because he was being bulllied at school... I was so disapointed when he didn't show in the next episode. What I find attractive in hi: his aura, deep voice, and dark eyes.
So these are my the fantastic foundings of the K-drama Boys Over Flowers.
I am glad I watch the series. I watched it because I thought Lee Min Ho was an eye candy, and now, I think he is a very good actor. I discovered SS501 thanks to the endong song "Because I'm Stupid". Kim Hyun Joon's acting was pretty bad in the first episodes, but you can tell the progress he made until the 24th episode. The girl playing Geum Jan Di's freidn, Ga Eul is very pretty and a good actress, but I foudn ehr character so annoying so I guess I'll see what she's up to later. The character of Geum Jan Di annoyed me from start to finish wth her overacting and screaming and gimmicking. Gosh that was a pain to watch/hear her every week. I think that if the actors I mentioned above weren't part of it, I wouldn't have bothered watching the drama. And to tell you the truth, the drama has ended for a couple of months now, and I still haven't watched the last 2 episodes. I have them, I just didn't watch them yet.
OKOK, whatever I say, just keep in mind those names: Lee Shi young, Kim Hyun Joo, Lee Min Jung, Kim Joon, Jung Eui Chul.
In July in Korea, the movie Ogamda will be released. It is a five-segment-movie, each segment directed by a different director and with different set of actors. One of them will feature both Lee Shi Young and Jung Eui Chul. This is a movie I can't wait to watch
