***He's a male fan of RAIN who bought his Gang album & has it signed to him. (he's not gay) One of their clients is in the same company with RAIN, so he must be working under RAIN Company & he asked a favor to him to have the album signed by RAIN. He has all his albums but this is the 1st time that he got it signed. He said that he likes RAIN's diligence & full of self-confidence. He has been a fan since 20-years old & loves his song, How to Avoid the Sun. He finds his voice sexy. He uses the nickname "RAIN" in some of the few sites he frequents. He wishes he could get to meet RAIN & see him up close in the future.

The drama "Sketch" team composed of actors Jung Ji-hoon and Lee Dong-Gun has started filming for the first time for two months.

 

 

According to an official on the 27th, JTBC's new drama 'Sketch' was first filmed on the 10th and the filming of the leading actors began on the 13th. It was somewhat chilly weather, but it was reported that the actors were shooting in a friendly atmosphere.

 

'Sketch' is a rhetorical action drama featuring the fate of those struggling to change a certain future. Directed by Lim Tae-woo PD, who participated in 'Air City' and 'Steal Heart', and writer Kang Hyun Sung, who wrote the movie 'The King's Case Note'.

 

Jung Ji-hoon plays Gang Dong-soo, an elite detective and Lee Dong Gun as Dong Jin Kim, a highly trained commander. When his pregnant wife is murdered, he decides to take revenge, which somehow places him in a confrontation with Dong-soo.

 

It has been 15 years that Ji-hoon and Dong-gun collaborated in acting. The two actors who appeared in KBS 2TV ' Sang Doo! Let's Go To School “ in 2003 have been active in doing films & dramas.

[Y피플]정지훈X이동건 '스케치', 10일 첫 촬영…연기 호흡 어땠나

 

배우 정지훈과 이동건이 뭉친 드라마 '스케치' 팀이 첫 방송을 2달 여 앞두고 촬영에 돌입했다.

 

27일 관계자에 따르면, JTBC 새 드라마 '스케치'는 지난 10일 첫 촬영을 시작했고, 주연 배우들의 본격적인 촬영은 13일부터 진행됐다.

 

다소 쌀쌀한 날씨였지만 화기애애한 분위기 속에 배우들이 촬영에 임했다는 전언이다.

 

'스케치'는 정해진 미래를 바꾸기 위해 고군분투하는 이들의 운명을 담은 수사 액션 드라마다. 연출은 '에어시티', '유나의 거리' 등에 참여한 임태우 PD가, 집필은 영화 '임금님의 사건수첩'을 쓴 강현성 작가가 맡았다.

 

정지훈은 극중 강력계 에이스 형사 강동수를, 이동건은 특수전사령부 소속 중사 김도진을 연기한다. 김도진은 임신 중이던 사랑하는 아내가 누군가에게 살해당하고, 복수를 계획하게 되는데 그 과정에서 강동수와 대립각을 세운다.

 

정지훈과 이동건이 연기 호흡을 맞추는 것은 15년 만이다. 2003년 KBS 2TV '상두야 학교 가자'에 함께 출연했던 두 사람은 그동안 다양한 필모그래피를 쌓으며 활약해왔고, 30대 후반의 나이로 재회하게 돼 관심을 눈길을 끈다.

 

한편 '스케치'는 '밤 잘 사주는 예쁜 누나' 후속으로 오는 5월 첫 방송된다.

5 Idols Who Would Probably Have Been Rich Even If They Hadn’t Debuted

They’d still be majorly successful and rolling in dough!

 

Sometimes it seems like idols are only rich because they debuted but that isn’t always the case. Whether it’s because they have a great business sense or they have an eye for fashion, here are 5 idols who would still have become rich even if they hadn’t debuted.

 

2. Rain

 

 

While Rain may not have had a super successful clothing line he has been extremely successful in real estate. It’s estimated that the villa he owns is worth $5 million and he also owns a shopping mall that worth about $17 million!

 

 

And when he combined his assets with his wife, Kim Tae Hee, they became the richest K-Pop couple ever. Rain obviously has an eye for real estate that would have brought in the cash regardless of his singing career.

[Orion's Daily Ramblings] Lee Sun-bin and Im Hwa-young Join "Sketch - Drama"

 

 

We have two promising new additions to "Sketch - Drama", as Lee Sun-bin and Im Hwa-young will be joining Rain and Lee Dong-gun for some clairvoyant investigations. The two actresses have both confirmed roles in the force, with Lee Sun-bin taking on the female lead previously reported on.

 

There isn't anything new in terms of character information, as Lee Sun-bin plays the psychic sketch artist, while the two male leads play the parts I talked about a while back. We do have new information on the newly released role taken on by Im Hwa-young, however. The actress will be playing the brains of the investigation. I'm not sure if this makes her a hacker or a team leader, but more detailed descriptions will be popping up frequently from now on.

 

"Sketch - Drama" starts in May, but it has already started filming. It is reported that, since filming began early, we should expect strong directing and writing. I'm not holding my breath over this myself, since time isn't all that matters in making quality, but more time is definitely a good thing for any production.

 

Let's see where this story takes us. We should be seeing reports on the extended supporting cast soon-ish, so I'll be keeping track of the drama's production.

*** RAIN posted this picture TODAY, April 4 with a caption – “# Spring # mother” – Right now, it’s spring time in Seoul. Spring lasts from late March to May – sometimes it enters as early as February due to global warming since four decades ago.  I wonder what soup & green salad are these. This might be his Mom’s favorite or she maybe usually cooks this for him. The green salad looks yummy and healthy.

 

 

[willenette]

***Please see slides of pictures - Although, I’m still single & no kid yet I’m a bit familiar with this European baby diaper, Kindoh since this brand is famous & endorsed by famous celebrities as well. Headquarter of Kindoh is in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul.  I heard that it is more expensive than other diaper products in the market. I guess RAIN & KTH’s daughter is using this brand.  According to my friend, she has been using it for 2 years for her baby & has not developed any rashes.
