Jang Hyuk 장혁

[Guest missinu]

The DOTD movie premier in SINGAPORE is on the 23rd of April (Wed). Event crews are actually needed. I'm not really sure of what you're supposed to do YET. I'm not sure of the exact timings and pay but it's supposedly to be from noon till sometime in the night because the movie premier starts at 6pm.

Those who are interested to help out can just PM me and give me your email address. I'll email you the details once I've got it.

Basically I think this is a really good opportunity for those who wants to meet Jang Hyuk. =)).

Ender's Girl: Welcome to the Jang Hyuk mania! I'm glad to know you are discovering Jang Hyuk 2.0 (lol..love how you describe him as 2.0). I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on him...nicely done! Totally agree...I was thinking the same thing..Where the heck did this acting chops and overflowing charisma come from?

Like imogene_af said....you must watch Robbers. You will no doubt appreciate him even more. For me Thank You made me 'fall in love' with him but Robbers made me love him as an actor.

Strictly Ballroom...Oooh I love that movie.... I hope the same thing too...that DOTD could have a strong story like Strictly Ballroom.

missinu: I hope you get a lot of volunteers. If I live in S'pore I would have volunteered...but alas...no can do..hehehe.

Thanks Amaryllis for the pic. Wow! DOTD finally gears up to hit the screens! Go Go DOTD!!!!

The DOTD movie premier in SINGAPORE is on the 23rd of April (Wed). Event crews are actually needed. I'm not really sure of what you're supposed to do YET. I'm not sure of the exact timings and pay but it's supposedly to be from noon till sometime in the night because the movie premier starts at 6pm.

*sigh* I wish I could be there... Thanks missinu for the info and hope you to keep posting any tiny local news on JH and DOTD. Thanks again.

Instead, he doggedly held his course, taking on a project that (and this is according to one of his interviews, if you guys remember) he chose more for the challenge it posed to his craft, believing this would help him grow as an actor, than for the certainty of ratings success. Thank God it paid off! Whatever personal (congratulations on your upcoming wedding!!! we will be crying buckets... tears of happiness...not! ) and professional success he is currently enjoying (despite the low ratings of Robbers, I believe all that goodwill generated by Thank You is still rubbing off him, AND he's got an international film to boot) is well-deserved and well-earned, the kind of success that is so much sweeter precisely because it was not handed to him on a silver platter, but one which he achieved by dint of his tenacity, humility, and perseverance.

At least if anything, Jang Hyuk has proven how versatile an actor he is. From his interviews he really seems to have matured a whole lot--as evident in his ability now to tackle more complex, sophisticated roles. Jang Hyuk the Man had some growing up to do, and his acting naturally followed. So now that he's officially a serious actor, I can't wait to see what he'll do next. Part of me wants him to stretch his limits and take on projects that scream CANNES!!! PALM D'OR!!! (migawd, if he could be the next Lee ByungHun, or even the next Song KangHo or Choi MinSik--but then that would be thinking too far ahead, and I wouldn't want to jinx it for him, so let's just stop at Lee ByungHun for now, lol ), but then another part of me hopes he retains his mainstream popularity through commericial vehicles like your usual romcom or melodrama. Ah...the age-old debate of craft vs. commercialism. But then why do the two have to be mutually exclusive anyway, huh?

Seeing the Jang Hyuk 2.0 (new and improved! lol) in Thank You for the first time, I just couldn't believe my eyes. Where was the bumbling physics teacher with a heart of gold in Windstruck? Where was the lovesick, dorky superhero in Volcano High? Where was the smarmy but endearing jackass in Please Teach Me English? Where? Where? WHERE??? In their place was this--this--magnificent male specimen, a perfectly sculpted body of solid muscle. And a face to die for--those cheekbones... the chiseled jawline... the facial stubble... the carelessly swept back brush of hair... lips that could twist into a sneer and a spew forth a scathing remark just as readily as they could form a tender smile... and those eyes. OH MY GAWD. I couldn't get enough of the lean, hungry look in them, eyes that mirrored the bleakness of a soul who has nothing left to live for, but in whom hope gradually comes alive as Min GiSeo finds love in the unlikeliest of places. Eyes concealing depths you could drown in. I wiped the drool off my face (which was already drenched in tears--DAYYYIM, that drama sure made me cry!!!) and resolved in my heart of hearts to watch EVERY SINGLE BLEEPING MOVIE AND DRAMA JANG HYUK HAS EVER ACTED IN SINCE THE INCEPTION OF HIS CAREER. So help me God.

KOMAPSEUMNIDA, JANG HYUK-SSHI!!!

Ten millions of Wow! Ender's Girl, I love all your words. Nicely put, ma'am! I wish I have that ability to express how I feel for JH as you do. I also like the way you categorize his second stage of acting career as JANG HYUK 2.0. I believe there would be JANG HYUK 3.0 and more since he is such an enthusiastic and hardworking actor. It's been nice to be a fan of such an actor. Frankly speaking, I love all the dramas and movies he engaged in although they were differenly received among audiences. I turst in his ability to pick up wll-written scripts. He has a knack for choosing right ones for himself. Or maybe he knows how to convert charactors to the ones most fittable to him..hehehe... Of course that would not necessarily go with high ratings or popularity, but I have been enthrilled by his charactors thus far. I am not sure if he can be called as an charactor actor. I mean he seems willing to disappear into each role he plays. Hope he attains a certan level of public acknowledgment of his talent and starship (as an A-actor), so he can have more leeway to move in relationship with his management company.

And yes, Thank You is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful drama! That is the one that brought my heart for JH back. Robbers makes me love him even more. I look forward to hearing how you see and read Robbers.

O-cha, Malia, and Imogene, you know i totally agree with your comments on JH!

Jang Hyuk will make a guest appearance on Episode 1 of the japanese TV version of My Sassy Girlfriend starting on April 20. Here is a link to snap pics with japanese writings.

Amaryllis : thanks for posting that pic. How cool to see JH in a big banner on the streets of Singapore. Gosh if I were there I'd be tempted to take the banner

wils : thanks babe! I wonder what kind of role he'll be cameo-ing? (is cameo-ing even a word? lol) He looks like he could be a police detective there.

[Guest hjkomo]

Ah, yes! JANG HYUK 2.0!! Definitely, an upgrade!

I guess I need to rewatch Thank You....pretty good, but not one of my favorite dramas, especially towards the end.... *ducks to find cover*

And for those of you who don't know, wils has most graciously created a new Dae Mang thread (not sure if it has this been posted here already)

I couldn't agree more with all of your comments about Jang Hyuk. And, thank you to the people who share the tidbits,pictures, latest news, etc. I'm always amaze at everyone's ability to scurry out all this information.

I have a slightly different take on one of my favorite actors. I don't think he is merely acting a role in the movie/drama. I think what we're seeing is his ability to actually become the character. This isn't simply acting. This is a total immersion of himself into the persona of the character.

As a result, his acting is so powerful that it pulls us, viewers, into the character. He is truly an amazing actor. I look forward to his future projects.

Amaryllis : thanks for the info on Mr Radio. Hopefully someone recorded it. I really want to listen to it. CTH and JH are good friends so I'm sure the interview was a blast.

His hair is like super long and shaggy! But glad that he looks a bit healthier now and he has that smile. Aw. I kind of miss the shorter hair now.
