  1. But one thing that bugs me, is it really true Hyun Bin calls Ha Ji Won noona?

    Yep, it's true but I don't think it's a big deal 'cause JIS also called her 'HJW nuna' and they called her in private, not in any interviews.

    According to many articles I read about 'nuna' ;

    Some Korean guys don’t like calling a girl that they like ‘nuna,’ because it makes them feel that they are nothing more to that girl than a young boy. Others, however, don’t mind calling a girl ‘nuna’ that they like. Once they get used to calling her ‘nuna,’ he can seek a brother-sister style relationship with her.

    Even if you learn a lot about this cultural difference, it’s best if you do not call an older girl by ‘nuna’ because calling someone ‘nuna’ is acceptable only between the closest of friends.

    oppa is likewise used by girls to call a guy who is close but older than her; same goes with guys who calls girls who are close but older than him as nuna. Boyfriend and girlfriend are likewise called this way. The use of these terms denote respect. So don’t be confused when wathcing movies and dramas, if you hear the stars call their lovers on screen as oppa or nuna, this is not incest (to think Koreans are very conservative) but part of their culture.

    But in general, noona can be teasingly used in a larger romantic context

    My Name is Kim Sam Soon, Hyun Bin’s character uses “noonim” sometimes to tease Sam Soon.

    and from HJW&KDW Duelist interview clip ,

    KDW said that "more than like a noona. I wonder if I can say this. At times,she's more like a cute younger sister and she's also like a friend too. She's very thoughtful so then she seems like a noona"

    In my opinion-whatever her age, HJW seems sweet & lovely that why many ppl love and admire her. ;)
