  1. Thanks @shjfan23 you are still a few steps ahead of me in posting this  :joy:.  I love that they are still colour matched for the interview, I can't wait for it hoping that our Japanese contributors are kind enough to translate for us.

     

    Below is an article from Forbes (Forbes is an American business magazine. Published bi-weekly, it features original articles on finance, industry, investing, and marketing topics.) TBI is airing on Viki (YAY!!) so hoping it gets lots of love from the US.

    The Beauty Inside Wonders About The True Nature Of Love

    Hollywood & Entertainment I'm a journalist fascinated by Korean drama and film.
    https%3A%2F%2Fblogs-images.forbes.com%2F

    The Beauty Inside stars Seo Hyun Jin as a woman who morphs into other people and Lee Min Ki as a man who might not notice.JTBC TV

    The television drama The Beauty Inside is not exactly the same story as the 2015 Korean film The Beauty Inside, nor the American web series of the same name. But like the film and the web series, the drama offers insight into the ideal nature of love, while providing multiple options for cameos.

    The original six-episode web series starred Topher Grace as a man named Alex. He wakes up every day as a different person. 

    In the South Korean film, the main character, Woo Jin, also wakes up every day in a different body—old, young, fat, thin, beautiful, grizzled. There’s no explanation for who he becomes next. His new bodies are supplied by actors as diverse as Park Shin Hye, Lee Beom Soo, Seo Kang Joon and Lee Jin Wook.

     

    Woo Jin is always the same person inside, but his constant state of transformation means that his world is in perpetual turmoil. It’s impossible to forge a life and succeed at a relationship. A person can only go so many days without sleep before the transformation happens again—and Woo Jin doesn’t change back. Fortunately, he finds a woman who loves him, no matter what body his personality lands in.

     

    The film, which also starred Han Hyo Joo, tells a story about love, acceptance and looking beyond the superficial. So does the JTBC drama but it uses slightly different devices to make the same point.

     

    The drama stars Seo Hyun Jin, Lee Min Ki, Lee Da Hee and Ahn Jae Hyun. The drama’s main character is a beautiful actress who every now and then changes into another person. It's a plus that she does not change every morning when she wakes up, but her changes are less predictable and more likely to embarrass her in a public moment. Changing into a sumo wrestler while wearing a form-fitting gown is never a good thing, even though she always eventually changes back into her original form. At first the transformations are manageable because they happen less frequently, but then they begin to happen more often, threatening her career and reputation.

    Former M.I.L.K. singer and actress Seo Hyun Jin, who previously won praise for her performances in Another Miss Oh and Temperature of Love, plays the actress Han Se Gye.

     

    When the fantasy drama opens, Han Se Gye has acquired a bad reputation for running away at inopportune times, which she does because she’s about to morph into another person. It’s beyond disorienting to be a different person every day, but changing may be even more difficult if you are a person everyone recognizes.

     

    Lee Min Ki plays Seo Do Jae, an airline company CEO with a traumatic past that has left him unable to recognize faces. So, he might not always notice when Han Se Gye is played by another actor. Her alternate selves are played by a range of actors, including Kim Jun Hyun, Choi Dae Chul, Kim Sung Ryung , Ra Mi Ran and Kim Min Seok.  Seo Do Jae hired Han Se Gye as his company’s chief model and he needs her to stick with her contract despite the bad press she’s getting. They form an unlikely alliance and he may become the only person who can really see her for who she is, whether she suddenly acquires wrinkles or bulks up with wrestler muscles.

    The actor is best known for his role in the films Very Ordinary Couple and Shoot Me In the Heart and the drama Because This is My First Life.

     

    Fortunately, Han Se Gye also has a support team, which consists of Lee Da Hee, playing her step sister and  Ahn Jae Hyun, playing her friend, a man who is also studying for the priesthood.

     

    Lee Da Hee is best known for her 2015 role in Mrs. Cop, while model and actor Ahn Jae Hyun is known for his roles in the dramas Blood and Cinderella and the Four Knights

     

    In 2017, an American version of the drama, starring Emilia Clarke, was said to be in development. Meanwhile, the Korean drama, which recently began airing in the U.S. on www.viki.com, offers many fine cameos and some lofty thoughts on love.

    Watched this on the latest ep of Runningman. They were asked if someone makes their heart flutters, and Kwon Yul said SHJ made his heart flutter during their LE2 drama! And everyone agreed with him! Lol! They said HJ’s charm makes everyone flutter! :blush:

    Awh that's so lovely, now HJ just needs someone to make her heart flutter :D ... And on HJ causing costars to have heart flutters, I found these images of HJ and Yoo Yeon Seok at the SBS awards for RDTK. What YYS says is so cute :love:

    Oops images didn't come out very clear so will type out what YYS says

    We were always dressed in operating gowns at the hospital

    Now that I'm seeing Hyun Jin in a dress

    Yeah! Heard that too! I think they are taking all the opportunity coming! And I think Korea is still on their way on tackling more stories on women in their movies and dramas!

    But I hope, HJ will get something new! Something that we’ve never seen her before. That will be very exciting!

    I guess as actresses get older there are limited roles, it's been refreshing to see more female centric storylines in the last couple of years. I too hope that HJ gets the opportunity to star in a new genre as the girl sure has talent :D

  4. What is going on! I am reading that some actresses (Park Min Young, Shin Hye Sun) are jumping from one project to the next, I hope they are not taking the roles from HJ :angry:.

     

    Anyway I am currently watching KDSBH the I don't know how many times :lol:, I miss her in Sagueks. HJ and JHJ keep blowing me away with their acting especially when the crown prince gives SBH the tapir, OMG that scene gives you all the feels :wub:. If you haven't seen this drama I highly recommend it.

    LifesLikeThat, the guy next to Hyunjin is not lmk, think is TBI crew. Guess she is getting to dress up for the scene going with SeoDoJae, 'a fake date', actual attire: a black top and translucent skirt with that short pants underneath.       

    Erhmm.. Yehwadam, Hwangsango.. from The Face Shop.. I'm tempted to buy already! :wub: 

    HJ complexion is so radiant, perfect for beauty products model! Yeah.. China is a gigantic country and market! Hope she will be invited there to promote Yehwadam, unleash her charm greatly and boost her popularity to a higher level! :love: Looking forward for more news of hers to come! :D

     

     

    I think that is LMK, I went back and watched that episode again as the jacket looked familiar and that's what LMI wore on their fake date. I think they must be rehearsing that scene and having a good laugh as usual.

    Not really sure what this is all about! 

    Is this something to do with how much she paid for her income tax last year?

     

     

    Nah, it's not the amount of tax she paid last year but she may be up for an award, another one to add to her collection :joy: (don't want the taxman chasing you!). She such a good girl!

     

    This is the translation:

     

    Celebrity Seo Hyun-jin, Jae-hoon Lee became a candidate for 'Taxpayers Day' government award
     
     

    Entertainers Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Hye-hoon became candidates for the "Taxpayers' Day" government award. Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Hye-hoon were recommended by the Seoul Regional Tax Office for their contribution to sincere tax payment.

     

    The National Tax Service (NSO) announced on May 22 its list of 593 nominee taxpayer awards for the 53rd Taxpayers' Day in 2019.

     

    The National Tax Service will finalize the candidates according to the results of deliberation by the Public Disclosure Committee after consultation with the National Security Service. Next is a list of candidates.

  9. @shjfan23 I don't think HJ will guess star in CF, they already have Choi Ji Woo as the cafe manager so there's no other role for another female, couldn't have HJ washing dishes or doing the minions work :joy:

     

    Too bad the TBI six didn't get to go on vacay together, at least MJI was able to go with HJ.

    Soop announced that SHJ was selected as the global spokesperson for a premium cosmetic “Yehwadam Hwansaengo” from The Face Shop!

     

    She’s sooooo gorgeous here!!!!

     

    I read on twitter that she is their model for China and Taiwan ... wowsie China is a huge market, so happy for her.

     

    I watched the first 2 episodes of Coffee Friends, it's so funny seeing them out of their confort zones. I actually felt sorry for Ho Jun with every one ordering the hand drip coffee :joy: . Any idea how many episodes this will be?

     

    Hope HJ is relaxed after her holiday in Italy and ready to get into.

    That’s my wish too! I want to see her in a movie!!! Or a variety show, maybe a travel show again! :blush:

    I’m currently watching Coffee Friends. YYS and YSJ are there. The show is very chill and refreshing. I saw SJ’s other side on that show which is really far from all his drama characters. I hope HJ will have that kind of show!!!

    Yes it would be lovely if she was in something different. I watched Let's Travel with Friends but it was hard with no subs. Coffee Friends sounds like an interesting show maybe they can get HJ to appear on it as it is for charity, I will try to catch it.

    LifesLikeThat, thanks for Hyun Jin's filmography! I can easily refer to watch her old drama or movie while waiting for new drama.                       

    I've seen about 50% of HJs filmography, some are unavailable or hard to find. HJ has ruined my enjoyment of romcom kdramas :D, I lose interest after a couple of episodes and these also star some of favourite actors or actresses!

     

    Thank you @kopifan for the travel updates. haha ... It's sad that we have to stalk other actors/actresses to see her activities, on the plus side for these actors to HJ not being active on SM is they gather HJ fans as followers :joy:

     

    I know it hasn't been long since TBI has finished but I hope HJ is getting lots of offers, especially for an action film or drama.

    Can’t believe her Socar commercial vids in YT have 3M+ and 2.8M views already in 2 weeks time. Hopefully those views will reflect on their revenue and more commercials to HJ! :blush:

    I don’t think cable channels are doing awards yearly, except for tvn for their 10th anniv. Maybe jtbc will have one once they reach 10yrs. 

    So when HJ and Eric won the roco couple awards at TVN that was their 10th anniversary? Good year for AOHY to show then :D
