Ko So-young is “cool” with her husband’s kiss scenes

Actress Ko So-young showed her professional side by remaining nonchalant about her husband’s steamy kiss scenes in the current drama “A Gentleman’s Dignity.”
From June 30, the show took a new turn as the main character played by Ko’s husband Jang Dong-gun officially began dating Kim Ha-neul’s character.
There was a passionate kiss scene that stole the hearts of the audience and despite expressing her qualms earlier about Jang taking part in the drama, Ko reportedly told her husband that she enjoyed the episode.

“I enjoyed it,” Ko said to Jang, according to Ilgan Sports.
Meanwhile, at a press conference for the show earlier, it was said that Ko didn’t want Jang to take part in the drama “because it’s written by Kim Eun-sook who always writes stories with a lot of kiss scenes.”
Allegedly, the staff fooled Ko by telling her that there’d be no steamy moments in order to get Jang to sign the contract.
The show starring the Hallyu actor is the most watched weekend program at the moment.

Ko is also set to appear on SBS’s “Healing Camp” on July 9, which will mark her first talk show since marrying Jang in more than two years.
On the highly anticipated show, Ko is set to shed a few tears and talk about how she met and fell for the Hallyu star as well as reveal details about the couple’s high-profile marriage.

***She still got it - JDG’s wife is beautiful & looks young. At 40 she looks better than most women in their 20s. Maybe she enjoys being a housewife. )

Fashionista Go So Young's scull accents matching Jang Dong Gun's 

Superior visual certainly perfects fashion and it certainly is the case for the Go So Young-Jang Dong Gun couple. Go So Young apparently boasts stylish perfection even with a T-shirt with just a touch of the scull pattern.

Actress Go So Young was spotted in a residential area of Gangnam on June 26th. Go So Young’s beauty and chic style hadn’t changed throughout the years. When you took a good look at the beautiful actress, the scull look was spotted which was worn by her husband Jang Dong Gun often times.

It turns out, Go So Young-Jang Do Gun couple is much like each other not only in their personalities but also in their sense of fashion. Last week on SBS TV’s ‘A Gentleman’s dignity’, Jang Dong Gun was wearing a gray hooded top with a black scull on it. Jang Dong Gun was also previously spotted wearing a stylish top with a scull logo and animal print fashionably accenting his airport look.

Go So Young looked sophisticated even in her casual look. The long black T-shirt with the silver scull on it was a unique item that gave life to the look. The high heel leather slip-ons and black sunglasses added the edgy feel to the look. Even in the casual look with the loose T-shirt could not hide Go So Young’s perfect body in the skinny jeans. Go So Young looked truly amazing. It was hard to believe that she is a mom.

Go So Young and Jang Dong Gun were married in 2010 creating a huge buzz. The beautiful couple were nick named the ‘Korean Brangelina’ even. With the birth of their son Min Joon last year, they represent a truly happy family in the entertainment industry.

"A Gentleman's Dignity" Jang Dong-gun breaks up with Kim Ha-neul

As it turned out Kim Do-jin (Jang Dong-gun) is the father of Collin (Lee Jong-hyeon), he broke up with Seo Ee-soo (Kim Ha-neul).

The fourteenth episode of SBS weekend drama "A Gentleman's Dignity" on the 8th showed that Kim Do-jin was Collin's father.

Collin showed up in front of the four men and said, "One of you is my father and I've come to find him". Unlike his other friends, Do-jin asked, "What year were you born? Take out your passport" and other detailed questions. Then when he learned that Collin was born in 1994, he told his friends he might be the father.

Do-jin called his ex-girlfriend and Collin's mother Kim Eun hee (Park Joo-mi) and checked for sure that he was the father and then called Ee-soo to meet up. He told her, "Listen carefully and I am sorry about what I am going to say. Forget I asked you to live with me. Forget that I promised you happiness. I can't keep the promise that I won't break up with you before you do. I am a bag person so forget me if possible".

Ee-soo asked if he was his son and Do-jin answered yes and said, "It's not that I don't have the guts to live forever with a woman but I don't have the right. I think this kid is punishing me for hurting others. Forget me no matter what".

Ee-soo said alright and got up from her seat then cried.

The hearts of women melted when the romantic scenes between Jang Dong Gun and Kim Ha Neul aired on SBS A Gentleman’s Dignity, but there was one woman who was fairly disgruntled by all of it.

There, Go So Young shared her inner most feelings of when she watches her husband with another women in A Gentleman’s Dignity.

“I watch all of my husband’s acting,” Go So Young said. “And I don’t necessary like [his romantic scenes with Kim Ha Neul].”

She added, “Even when I watch the drama with our son, he says, ‘That’s not my dad,’” bringing in laughter from the MCs.

Go So Young then went onto expose her husband’s true nature, where he just lies around at home, completely destroying his romantic image shown on television.

Go So Young will share the story about how the two top actors in Korea ended up getting married, as well as the secret behind their pregnancy before marriage on July 9.

Jang Dong Gun and Lee Byung Hun spotted wore the same super luxury watch

The luxury watch they wore was Swiss-made high-end brand Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Jang Dong Gun wore it in his drama A Gentleman’s Dignity where he was described as a successful male in his early 40s who cares about his style.
The type Jang Dong Gun’s wore in the drama worth around 49 million Won (US$ 43,000 ).

Lee Byung Hun also wore the same brand for one of his most important moment in his acting career (when he became the first Korean actor to left hand and foot print in Hollywood) couple weeks ago.

Talk about lavishness, producer of A Gentleman’s Dignity put heavy effort for Jang Dong Gun’s style, particularly on his watches and shoes. Jang Dong Gun’s shoes for the drama was Berluti, the Paris’ handmade shoes , which cost 20 million Won (US$ 17,500).

With all those luxury, it must be a relief for the producer that A Gentleman’s Dignity’s doing good in rating, surpassed 20% rating mark.

She said that? Might be as a joke, if she said that seriously she is not a professional then..

[Guest patricedee]

^I think she might said it as a joke or the translation is inaccurate. If it's true, I wonder what would Sky feel if she heard this. She might feel awkward around JDG. 
Thanks willenette for keeping us updated about JDG.

She said that? Might be as a joke, if she said that seriously she is not a professional then..

Jang Dong Gun Breaks Down in Tears for ‘A Gentleman’s Dignity’

After letting go of the first woman he imagined getting married to, Jang Dong Gun cried in sadness for SBS’ A Gentlemen’s Dignity.

A recently revealed photo showed the actor leaning against a door frame as he wept quietly over the break up with Kim Ha Neul, who plays Seo Yi Soo in the drama.




The scene was filmed on July 9 at a drama set in Ilsan, where Jang Dong Gun became silent to prepare for this crying scene.

He filmed the scene until he was completely satisfied with his acting and quietly left the set to gather his emotions once the filming was completed.

Hwa and Dam Pictures, the drama’s production company, said, “In A Gentleman’s Dignity, Jang Dong Gun has been showing his comical, melodramatic, and crying acting very naturally. He is making the character of Kim Do Jin perfect with his passion, which has him holding a script at all times.”

On July 8, Kim Do Jin found out that he is the father of Collin (Lee Jong Hyun) and broke up with Seo Yi Soo to spare her the pain that would soon come.

The next episode will air on July 14 on SBS.
