Guest Qi Luo Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I watched the teaser of 'Mother' and the saw the posters... OMG the movie looks pretty intense! I can't wait to watch it. Also I think it's great that this role will be challenging for Won Bin, i'm glad he chose to act in a more challenging role than in a easy role just to get more popularity. I hope Won Bin will let us see him more and stop hiding from his fans when Mother is released! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest silver_beam Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 http://www.donga.com/fbin/moeum?n=culture&...id=200903310113 Found a better translation: Caption: Many actors rose to popularity after playing Terrius-style characters who give their all for love, but with a touch of frivolity. Lately, as opposed to the more pure and innocent characters, characters with a more realistic edge are increasingly appearing. Photos from MBC.KBS These actors… who rose to superstardom after playing a breakthrough role “Want to become a star? Then use them as benchmarks.” Situations of “overnight fame” do exist in the world of showbiz. A common way to describe them is, “stars who have awaken from a deep sleep.” Although they may have experienced obstacles and hardship during their newcomer days, but they become top stars after one drama project. Every cycle of 3-5 years, a drama star will emerge and leave the nation’s viewers in awe. From Cha In Pyo in 1994’s ‘Love In Your Embrace’, Ahn Jae Wook in 1997’s ‘Star In My Heart’, Won Bin in 2000’s ‘Autumn In My Heart’ to Eric in 2004’s ‘Phoenix’ and Lee Minho in this year’s ‘Boys Before Flowers’ - they are the best examples. Let’s take a look at the styles of these 5 men who rose to ‘overnight fame’ with just one drama, and who have caused a drama syndrome, capturing the hearts of female viewers. Good Looks, Wealth, Power… The Terrius-type Heir Besides having a handsome appearance, in dramas it’s rare to find any “half-baked” lead characters. Even though it may be a new actor trying to make his name, he would be playing a character with the following qualities: Firstly he must be wealthy. It’s not enough to be just a ‘regular’ rich man’s son. Cha In Pyo played the heir to a large department store, while Ahn Jae Wook played a top singer and the son of a general. Won Bin was the heir to a hotel conglomerate, while Eric was the son to the president of a large corporation. Recently the scale of things got even bigger with Lee Minho’s ‘Gu Joonpyo’ character as the heir to the world’s 2nd largest conglomerate Shinhwa. In terms of their personalities, they have to be “bad boys” with a cold exterior. Cha In Pyo was lacking in many ways, and his caustic words often embarrassed people. Lee Minho, like Won Bin before him, has the idea that money can buy even love. However, it’s different when it comes to the women they love. They make all preparations before confessing their love, and the details are all necessary. The female protagonists will always show dislike or indifference, but will eventually discover their true feelings after ‘dramatic’ events. On the other hand, the female protagonists share common traits too. Shin Ae Ra in ‘Love In Your Embrace’, Choi Jin Shil in ‘Star In My Heart’, Song Hye Gyo in ‘Autumn In My Heart’, and Gu Hye Sun in ‘Boys Before Flowers’ all come from poor families. Although Lee Eun Joo in ‘Phoenix’ started off as a rich girl, she ended up poor after a sudden incident. All of their characters tend to be naive and cheerful. To summarize, all of the male protagonists are like Terrius from ‘Candy Candy’ or Edward (Richard Gere) from the movie ‘Pretty Woman’. In Guiyeoni’s hit Internet novels, the male protagonists always possess four basic characteristics: handsome, rich, good at fighting, and a good listener. Drama critic Lee Mun Won said, “In Korean drama that targets the sensitivity of teenage girls, Terrius is the type of character that transcends time.” A Shift from The Outsider to The Realist Change comes with the passing of time. Stars like these have to be good at mushy confessions or gestures of love. Cha In Pyo has been the best in this area, overwhelming Korean viewers for playing the saxophone and waving his index finger from side to side. Other than that we have classic lines that still remain popular such as the following: “사랑해, 죽을 때까지” [saranghae, chugeul ddaekkaji] (I’ll love you until the moment I die) - Ahn Jae Wook’s Kang Min Hee in ‘Star In My Heart’ “얼마면 돼? 얼마면 널 살 수 있어?” [Eolma myeon dwae? Eolma myeon neol sal su isseo?] (How much will it take? How much can I buy you for?) - Won Bin’s Han Tae Seok in ‘Autumn In My Heart’ “타는 냄새 안 나요? 내 마음이 타는 냄새” [T'a neun naemsae annayo? Nae ma-eumi t'a neun naemsae] (Do you smell something burning? It’s the smell of my heart burning) - Eric’s Seo Jung Min in ‘Phoenix’ Compared to them, Lee Minho’s Gu Joonpyo comes across as being more realistic. He says, “I’m handsome, tall, smart and rich. Can anyone not like me?” Instead, it seems that it’s his rival in love Yoon Ji Hoo (played by Kim Hyunjoong) who churns out these dreamy lines, “I’m Geum Jandi’s honorary firefighter who protects her”, “Why didn’t I like a kid like you instead?” Economic views have changed too. There was a strong tendency towards personalities like 20th century icon James Dean, the strong-minded and rebellious outsider . Ahn Jae Wook and Won Bin went against their famililes’ wishes time and again. Despite being rich, they despised the idea of money taking priority over everything else. Instead, for love, they chose to give up everything without a second thought. Cha In Pyo’s motorcycle became a symbol of his style. However, it seems that the concept of “weathering the storm together” is gaining popularity, the idea of sharing everything and not abandoning each other. Lee Minho’s Gu Joonpyo said, “Do you know how many families of the Shinhwa employees I have to be responsible for?”, and eventually separated with female lead Geum Jandi temporarily. Instead, it’s Kim Hyunjoong’s Yoon Ji Hoo who possesses Terrius-like qualities and even has a motorcycle to boot. Drama critic Prof Yoon Seok Jin said, “Rather than the type of character who believes that love conquers all, for the more independent women of today, they’d prefer a Terrius who is more attuned to reality.” Credit to : source: DongA chinese translations by: 悟空空@love-ric english translations by: midnightgirl13 @ absolutshinhwa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest silver_beam Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 ^oh... his turn now last month was his "Mother", Kim Hye Ja yah, many news on his charity work in Africa covered by the media today thanks silverbeam Dont you think he is a "good quality man" (remember the exact words of somebody looking for one?) - a filial son, doing charity work to help the poor children in Africa, keeping low profile, humble, likes children and animals, doesnt crave for fame and popularity, not greedy to become rich, acting in serious movies and dramas with no passionate sexy scenes and the list goes on - where can find such a man for a husband if you are a gal! Moreover he didnt take advantage of his good looks to become a casanova. So what is "she" waiting for? The man she has been looking for is right beside her and still not biting or are they too shy to make the 1st move or have they moved to 2nd stage?

The man she has been looking for is right beside her and still not biting or are they too shy to make the 1st move or have they moved to 2nd stage? Wow, well said silverbeam! He is ONE IN A MILLION. One thing I am quite sure, is that Won Bin is a very shy guy, more shy than you can think of. He said in many interviews that he becomes even more shy (and nervous) when he's in front of the girl he likes. He even feels nervous in front of his fans. This is what he said in the interview when he came to Singapore to promote My Brother. "My heart beats very fast whenever I meet my fans," he says looking down sheepishly. "I just hope I'm smiling when I see them because I don't know what to say. I get nervous. They are fans but they are also female!" But I hope he would not be that shy now. He also said in the GQ interview that he is very careful in selecting his work and he will wait for the ideal work, same as what he will do about girlfriend. (means he will be careful and willing to wait for the ideal girl) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
