My god, I really really jinzha lurvvve that last photo! I like how that black lace draped over her body, her knee partially exposed. Her posture was relaxing and yet exudes a certain smoky sexiness....The 2nd photo bowls me over too! It brought me back to the times when she was in Cuba. She was dancing salsa... this photo.. the subtle twist of her body, the upraised arms, the closing of her eyes... as if there's music in the background and she's swaying to the tempo...

[tilac]

It's so rare !!  My fav. is the second pic. wah .... that very sexy pose with her face down !! blows me away too. @BLUFEATHER I remember that salsa dance video.

Grandpas Over Flowers in Greece: Episode 4
by girlfriday | Dramabeans 

javabeans: It’s morning in Athens, and one by one everybody starts getting ready. Soon-jae halbae checks that the weather report is on target, while Geun-hyung halbae enjoys a walk outside in the morning air. Ji-woo puts on her makeup while Seojinnie does his hair in the adjoining bathroom, which of course looks just like a married couple.

girlfriday: They’re already like an old couple with a morning routine!
javabeans: I burst out laughing when Seo-jin asks why Ji-woo is putting on makeup, adding, “Did you always wear makeup?” LOL. It’s that thing men do of saying they like women who are bare-faced, not knowing that the “bare face” is layers of artfully applied makeup.
Read the rest of the recap at dramabeans, of course

[BLUFEATHERS]

Instyle Mag Interview
In the beginning:
The studio is warmth and inviting as the spring sunlight touches the room. The actress Choi Ji woo looks especially radiant this day for today's photoshoot. She has slim figure and attractive long legs.
"This angle looks better" A graceful smile lightens up her angelic face, no wonder she has garnered the nickname "Goddess"!
In between idle time between shots, her meticulous character shown as she carefully peruse over the photos taken.
Recently, Choi Ji Woo has become the hot topic discussed among the netizens, her name appeared in most top search engines, due to her weekly appearance with Lee Seo Jin in the series Grandpa over Flowers in Greece. From arranging accomodations to appearing without make up, wearing jeans and canvass shoes running around, to her open affectionate arm hugging with the halbaes, she has gained even more positive reactions than from her appearance in Temptation.
After her appearance in GOF wearing jacket and sport shoes, she has dropped her 'goddess' image as she appears in the photo shoot.
As she sat on the sofa slowly perusing over the photos, she took a sip of water and secretly smiled after finishing her perusal, saying:
"Really hungry now, but no matter what no meals today... only can drink more water.." her expression like in GOP and 3 meals a day.
The interview
Q: Why did you participate in GOP?C: I got to know PD Na in 2D1N (actually I'm older than him^^) so I participated in 3MAD. Remember the time we were playing Go cards? I've casually mentioned about joining GOF and to my surprise, he contacted me after...without considering too much, I agreed. My manager was more worried ^^ asking if it's really alright to join?! As oppa is going too, I didn't worry too much ^^
Q: What's your first consideration when participating in Variety show/drama?C: To do what is most important. The burden and sterotyping of a piece of work can be of the most headache issue. In my opinion, actors cannot always choose work that is most suitable for themselves. All I can do is concentrating on delivering my best and open myself to others' opinions. As the timing to join GOF is just right, I gathered my courage and decides to participate!
Q: Even to drop the mysterious image of a 'Goddess' ?C: Since my debut till now, a lot of viewers have already seen the mysterious look of mine..I think it's enought. Since GOF a lot have said that I'm very bubbly and open, which is the actual me! I'm actually was a little surprised to find that to others, I seem to be picky and is some one who would not do anything if I'm alone..Even the teachers in GOF was surprised to find that I'm actually not like that... so in the show I just let myself be..myself! ^^
Q: In the TV you are always arm in arms with the halbaes..C: I've always like to link arms with my friends and parents. As I've always travelled with my parents I find it no problems at all travelling with the teachers. Now I'm still young so it's not an issue...it might be more difficult if I am old...
Q: How do you find the porter Lee Seo Jin in GOF?C: He's real good. Although he always gumbles but he always completes his tasks. One look from the Teachers and he is able to know what they want and do it. It's really surprising!
Q: What's the most memorable in this trip?C: It's Greece's (sorry folks, I don't know the name in English) ... It's 4-5hours away from the city. Actually, it's not easy for me when travelling to such a far place but the Teachers said it's beautiful and not to be missed.
Q: Do you travel frequently?C: Yes, at least twice or thrice a year and mostly with parents.
Q: What's the difference in travelling and working?C: Totally different! If it's only vacationing then all we need to do is just to enjoy it. But in working, I'm always thinking to completing the tasks first.It's great! That I'm able to enjoy travelling this time and at the same time to earn money too! (^^ smile)If it's a commercial or drama, there're at least 4-5 months of hardwork before we could leave it...but now, I'm fully enjoying myself in travelling!
Q: You've hosted a food programme with Designer Jung before and you've also made kimchi in 3MAD...are you good in cooking?C: No. If there's a recipe I'll know rougly how to. When I was young, my grandma and mother really cooks very well and I'll try to follow them, making the ingredients...at home it's my mom who cooks. I'm in charge of eating.
Q: Your looks remains the same as before, pretty and pure...is it due to your character?C: I'm very forgetful. Especially these days. I'm type A blood...tends to forget very easily if I'm hurt. If I encounter any unhappiness, at most a few hours, I'll be looking for food!
Q: Your work most of the time can be very stressful. How do you overcome it?C: The stress is huge. I can only treat it as interesting and tries my best to overcome it as a challenge. Fortunately the work involved only requires a few hours to digest and then I could rest!Drama has ratings...all we could do is to do our best according to the script irregardless of the ratings.Actors are like flowers in the garden. Being harmonious and keeping the passion will complete the work smoothly. When the director says "till next time collaboration", I feel comforted and content as things completed as if it's my own. 
Q: What's your secret to not aging?C: How could anyone not grow old? I've went through my twenties and envy those in twenties, but there's no time for regrets.As the years add on, double effort is needed to maintain the body and skin condition. I can only try to maintain the original look.How to take care?Well, firstly we must not be lazy. Laziness is the problem. To let the skin breathe, most days I don't do make up. When my skin is dry, I'll use moisturizor to protect the dry and sensitive skin. A must is the facail mask at night which I always carries in my make up bag.
Q: Why do you feel you're better now than when you're 20?C: I'm softer now. In my 20s due to the challenges, there're some hard corners in my heart. As time goes by, they are smoothen little by little, and now, they feel softer.
Q: As a 20 Years Old Choi Ji woo, what would you say?C: To praise the lord. There're some regrets in that age. If possible, to enjoy life. At that time all I did was to forge ahead, in the end restraining myself, with no freedom. To be careful in every step; to not believe blindly to ones who speaks only good words..and not to hurt oneself by not differentiating between the good and bad. But to live each day with happiness in one's heart letting go the pains and hurts.
Q: It seems that it's more relaxing and happy nowC: Yes, because these are all in the past now.I ask to be less selfish, to pray that my heart is more relaxed. I used to make a lot of compromises in the past so that I won't give up...Now, I decide to love myself more. So, now I gave myself more time and travels more often.
Q: How do you spend your time when you've no schedule?C: My life in Seoul is actually pretty boring. But I would meet with my friends for coffee or movies. As my time is free, sometimes I would watch movies at home till morning.
Q: In 10 years time how would you like to see yourself?C: 10 Years seems long but it can flies by very fast. If it's 10 years of me? I wish 10 years later I'm even better than now.
Dear Chingus, The above is my translation from the Chinese (translated by the writer from CJWFC)... pardon for the long script and if some sentences may not really expressed what's it's mean...

"I'm very forgetful. Especially these days. I'm type A blood...tends to forget very easily if I'm hurt. If I encounter any unhappiness, at most a few hours, I'll be looking for food!"
I love this part lmao. She seems like a genuinely nice human being.

Thank you, BLUEFEATHERS! You're awesome. 

[tilac]

@BLUFEATHERS Thank you very much. I am glad to see that she is more relaxed and happier now than when she was in her 20's. Sounds like she went through a tough time. In the 20's are learning and trial period, in the 30's are better prepared, in the 40's are experienced, and in the 50's are ready to give advice to the young ones. Experience is a good life lesson.  Thanks again my friend.

Choi Ji Woo Turned Into A Guide in Corinth
Source: BNTNews
[by Yanchingsally Chu] Choi Ji Woo, as a rookie porter in tvN show ‘Grandpas Over Flowers’, turned into a guide in Corinth. 
In the upcoming episode of ‘Grandpas Over Flowers in Greece’, Choi Ji Woo turned into a guide leading the grandpas by herself to travel in Corinth where it is famous for the big size of its canal. She took photos everywhere and even shared candy with strangers in Greece. It is believed that her unique style of travelling and sociability would bring happiness to the audience while watching the program. 
During the trip, Choi Ji Woo acted as an energizer. Though sometimes she led the grandpas in the wrong direction, she took good care of them. She always linked arms with the grandpas’ and helped them when they were in need. She was praised by Lee Seo Jin saying that “her flaws are kind of her charm.” Lee Soon Jae also commented that “She is like my daughter. It would be awesome if I had a daughter like her.” 
Moreover, she held a farewell party for Park Geun Hyung who had to leave earlier due to other schedules. Spending quite a long time together while travelling made them a lot closer which it made goodbye a hard word to say. The sadness of leaving each other could be read from their faces and these will all be broadcasted in the coming episode. 
Meanwhile, ‘Grandpas Over Flowers’ continues to air every Friday night. (photo by CJ E&M)

‘Grandpas over Flower’, do not envy other ground wave programs… Top on viewers’ rating for 5 weeks  Source: Innolife.com
‘Grandpas over Flower’ left 5 weeks straight high top on viewer’s rating.
tvN ‘Grandpas over Flower’ broadcasted on April 24th ranked top on viewer’s rating that average 8.6% and top 10.1% (Nielson Korea) for 5 weeks straight.
With the various charms of 4 flower grandpas like Lee Soon-Jae, Shin Goo, Park Geun-Hyeong and Baek Il-Seop added to the sweet charms of Choi Ji-Woo and Lee Seo-Jin, they made viewers fall into the fun of ‘Grandpas over Flower’. 
The story of flower grandpas visiting Meteora to Korinthos shows the fruitful charm of Greece. Especially Baek Il-Seop’s frank heart to Park Geun-Hyeong leaving early due to his personal schedule and Park Geun-Hyeong leaving for Korea with heart left behind in Greece.
In Greece Choi Ji-Woo’s frank attraction was vitamin of the trip. She took care of the grandpas like a granddaughter. Lee Soon Jae said, “She is so like a daughter. It will be great to have such daughter.” Choi Ji-Woo even guided the Corinth trip without the original porter Lee Seo-Jin.
Meantime, the next episode of ‘Grandpas over Flowers in Greece’ will show another trip to Santorini. [Photo=tvN]
