only 10 seconds?

Yeah, only 10 seconds???

It feels like heaven, i'm sure.

The way you look at me tonite.....[/i]

calling all BD fans .... please post your reviews here: http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-...section-videos/

one negative reviewer said that "I hope BD does not taint CJW's great reputation" i guess s/he is not aware that this drama is so popular in Japan right now

How can it taint CJW's reputation when BD jumpstarted Jiwoo's lucrative career?

Winter Sonata and STH were as successful becoz CJW's acting skill was honed by her work experience in BD.

BD created a great reputation for her as an actress.

Some people can be so clueless.

Seems that CJW and LJH are reunited again after BD in Rondo.

Choi-ce part

Choi Ji Woo: Going places.

SOUTH Korean weeping queen Choi Ji Woo is currently shooting the movie Rondo in Japan opposite Takenouchi Yutaka, the website yesasia.com reported.

Filming for the movie, a love story that transcends national boundaries, will appropriately take place in both Japan and South Korea.

Choi, 30, who achieved regional fame after starring in the romantic drama series Winter Sonata, plays Yuna, a strong-willed, playful South Korean girl living in Japan, in Rondo. Takenouchi, 34, portrays a detective who falls for her.

The Japanese daily Sports Nippon reported that Choi became a fan of Takenouchi after watching him in the film Between Calm and Passion (2001). The actress said she was honoured to work alongside the notable Japanese actor.

Other Korean cast members of Rondo include Lee Jung Hyun (Choi's co-star in Beautiful Days) and Shin Hyun Jun, another of Choi’s co-star from Stairway to Heaven.

The Japanese line-up features Sato Ryuta, of the movie Umizaru (Sea Monkey) fame, and popular idol Ichikawa Yui among others.

Spoiler

When they got home, they saw Sunjae standing out side. Sunjae was waiting for Yonsoo to show her the picture she gave him at the orphanage. With Minchul there, he could not do that. 

Next day, Sunjae followed Yonsoo around. He followed her to the mall. There he made himself known to her. She asked him to help her picking out an MP3 for Sena. They stopped at a coffee shop. While Sunjae went to get foods, his cell rang. Yonsoo picked up the phone and it was Sena. She told Sunjae to expect a call from Sena in a few moments. Sunjae did not want to lose the time with Yonsoo so under the table he took the battery off of the phone. 

At home, Yonsoo asked Sunjae to give Sena the MP3 and say it's from Sunjae. Sunjae pulled Yonsoo into his room. He showed her the drawing. As they sat there remembered the old time, Minji walked in and asked what they were doing. Yonsoo said nothing then she got up to leave. As she was leaving, Minchul walked up and saw her leaving Sunjae's room. Yonsoo nod her head to say hello then she walked to her room.

 

As she was leaving, Minchul walked up and saw her leaving Sunjae's room. Yonsoo nod her head to say hello then she walked to her room. 

Minchul pulled her arm and asked: Is that all the greeting I get? I haven't seen you all day. 

Minji walked out and saw Minchul holding Yonsoo's hand. Minchul let go of Yonsoo then walked into his room. Minji gave Yonsoo a nasty look, then followed her brother into his room. 
Minji asked: Brother, are you interested in her? What? Can't be, you'd never fall for someone like her. I think Sunjae's interested in her. Those two were talking and giggling in his room. I think she's a flirt.
Minchul tried to act uninterested and said: Let me change.
After Minji left, Minchul let his feeling shown. He was very upset and worried.

BD-siblings reunited!

Just like LBH and SMA collaborated again in the movie, A Bittersweet Life albeit no longer as brother-sister.... CJW & LHJ (Saena) also came together for the Japanese series, Rondo. LJH... she's all grown up!

Update : Dec 21, 2005 KST 18:05

Lee Jung-hyun to release albums in Korea, China and Japan

Actress/singer Lee Jung-hyun, 25, has announced she will release albums in Korea, China and Japan next year. Lee, who plays a supporting role in the new Korean-Japanese TV drama “Rondo,” announced her plans following a press conference held on Dec. 19 at the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel in Tokyo, Japan.

Lee will release a collection of her best songs in Japan on January 25. The collection will contain eight tracks, including songs by Lee featuring Japanese vocals. In March, she will release her sixth album in Korea and a collection of best new songs with Chinese vocals, including the title song of her sixth album, in China.

Lee says it will be her first album with Chinese vocals, although her songs are already well-known in China, as Chinese artists commonly remake songs from foreign artists. She added that she was happy to learn that her Chinese fans wanted to hear her songs performed personally by her in Chinese.

Lee, however, will not participate in the recording of the theme song for “Rondo,” which will be recorded by Korean singer Lee Seung-chul and Japanese singer Hirahara Ayaka. In the drama, Lee Jung-hyun plays the younger sister of Choi Ji-woo’s character, who has a heart disease. The two sisters travel to Japan to find their father, and eventually open a Korean food eatery there to make ends meet. The 11-episode drama stars Choi and Japanese actor Takenouchi Yutaka; supporting roles are played by Lee Jung-hyun, Shin Hyun-jun and Kimura Yoshino.

The drama will premiere January 15 at 9 p.m.

Nice to see CJW working with LJH again.

Tho i hate her role as the selfish, arrogant and bratty Sena in BD.

Looks like she's also making waves in Japan.

Been doing BD marathon yesterday. Of course, i just fast forward to the scenes of MC and YS.

I miss these couple. Wish they can do another drama soon.

Just dropping by to say Hello to all my friends here...thanks rubie for all the episode summaries..

WAVING to ELLA..

Hello Lu sis!!! *waves*

While watching BD again for the nth time... i saw a major blooper....

This is the scene after MC and SJ's conrontation at Victory when MC found them together after YS missed the first time dinner and intro to his sister.

While walking back and forth in his room (and YS contemplating on whether to knock on his door or not), MC was still in his white shirt and the stripped tie on his neck. He removed the tie as he neared the bed... about to lie down. When he lay down, the tie was again in his neck. Hahaha!!!!

With the dvd copy, i now see many missing scenes from my earlier vcd copy (fan-made). I didnt know that both of them walked on the seashore and finally, i saw the wink to the supervisor which is really funny since she fainted. Still, the english subs of the vcd copy is way better.

Some beautiful scenes on Beautiful Days...

Yep, BD had lots of production flaws... that kinda disrupts the continuity of the series but not too much on the actors' part, though.

Another major blooper, did you see it... when Minchul & Yeonsoo returned from the overnight stay at the beach, MC's car was parked facing the house as Seonjae first discover it. Then, after a brief confrontation in the house and MC goes out to leave for work... the car is now facing the other side of the house! Did it just move by itself?

A few more

- like in the cherry blossom's scene where the extras were walking back & forth, repeatedly that it became too obvious

- if we really look, when MC was hugging YS very closely in the same scene.... and the camera moving around them, we can actually see the production crew watching at the side... standing nearby in the not-so-dark location

- and once after Victory Records had gone bankrupt, the scene where MC was looking sadly at the company from across the street, there's a clueless onlooker who was getting too near to LBH (while he was acting) that the production crew had to pull her away.

- also the airport scene, a clueless passerby almost stumbled in the scene at the escalator

Still nothing that affected the mood of the series or the performance of the actors concerned.

i loooove this drama. =) how come all the previous threads were deleted though?

Hi neverletgo! Welcome to Beautiful Days! We love this drama, too... share with us your thoughts, ok?

All the previous threads in soompi were gone due a major crash in October. Now everyone is building up everything again.
