bimini Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 ^ XD It'd be such an ironic if that were the title haha I feel like fate has made them cross paths with each other, yet... They're not together! haha Nonstop 5 they were together for like... one episode I think >.> They're both 1987ers, but Seung Gi is only a month older Hyo Joo was in Iljimae, Seung Gi was supposed to be in The Return of Iljimae Hmmmms.... lol. kr4ever: Thanks so much for sharing that fan account! Seems like the event was kind of short...? I thought they'd do some fun things together haha, but lucky fans And LOL at the 99 = 66 XD I'm really impressed with Seung Gi's Japanese suncine445: It's great to hear that BL is doing pretty good in Japan considering how neither Hyo Joo or Seung Gi have officially debuted in Japan yet. ^^ And it makes me so happy to hear that SeungJoo are so at ease with one another I can't wait until Dong Yi *shaking and crying.

Guest kr4ever Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 There's a Chinese-translated transcript of the interview Hyo Joo and Seung Gi did at the BL press conference in Japan: http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=725233154 Could anyone translate this please? ^^'' The press conference was held at 3pm, all the seats (20 for camera crew, 50 for reporters) were filled, and in addition, there were over 100 people standing. Both HHJ and SeungGi greeted the press in Japanese. Q: What was your first impression of the script and what was the atmosphere like on the set of the drama? SeungGi: The company president gave me the script saying she recommended it, and many other people considered it to be a good one. I had to start thinking about being the lead character. After I read the script, I realized that the character, being very self-centered, is opposite from my own image. I thought it would be very interesting to try to portray this. I was also worried, of course. But I ended up having a lot of fun during the filming. Q: The ratings in Korea continued to surge from the initial 16%? SeungGi: If an actor doesn't have any expectations from his work, that would be a lie. But the PD and I didn't expect very much. It was my first leading role, and I saw it as a learning experience and a challenge. The surge in the ratings, that's all thanks to the viewers. It was fun working with HHJ, and the whole team got along very well. After the ratings went up, the atmosphere on the set became even better. Q: what was the most memorable scene? HHJ: ... SeungGi was very passionate about his acting. He even memorized my lines and I would see him reciting them in front of me even though it was my turn. I had a lot of NGs because of that. SeungGi: It's true. I'm sorry. I still remember our kiss scenes. I tried really hard to make the picture look nice, but HHJ later told me that it didn't work too well. It seems that I didn't try hard enough. I will work harder in the future. credit: English translation by tryp96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bimini Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 [ChanMi's star news] Han Hyo-joo and Lee Seung-ki at Japan! Japanese fans are astounded by Han's beauty! "Shining Inheritance" starring the Han Hyo-joo and Lee Seung-ki was being promoted in Japan. The airing of the drama on Japanese television has brought them to the country where they were interviewed and met new fans. Japanese fans say that Han seems very sophisticated and poised at such a young age! Her image is very pure and appealing to the fans. Will Han Hyo-joo be the new Choi Ji-woo or Lee Young-ae? source: http://www.hancinema.net/chanmi-s-star-new...pan--22541.html Dong Yi’s official posters Speaking of new Monday-Tuesday dramas, here’s a look at another: MBC’s Dong Yi comes out the same day as SBS’s Oh! My Lady, albeit an hour later in the regular prime-time slot. These new posters feature Dong Yi’s lead actress in the title role, Han Hyo-joo. In reference to her character’s initial status as a water maid in the palace, the main poster above shows Han standing on water. In the second poster below, the rest of the main cast is pictured, including King Suk-jong (Ji Jin-hee), the ambitious concubine Lady Jang (Lee So-yeon), Dong-yi’s devoted Chun-soo (Bae Soo-bin), police officer Seo Yong-ki (Jung Jin-young), and the queen (Park Ha-sun). My personal favorite is the third poster, which shows the progression of Dong-yi’s character in the two images of Han Hyo-joo. At left, she is a simple servant girl, and she later becomes a royal consort and mother to a king. Dong Yi premieres next week, on March 15, in Pasta’s slot on MBC. source: http://www.dramabeans.com/2010/03/dong-yis-official-posters/ Just a fun little FAQ lol, the poster where Hyo Joo's in the purple/blue hanbok and standing above water... It's real water! PD LBH didn't want to use special effects, so Hyo Joo had to constantly gently shift her feet around to create the ripples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fujiwara no sai Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 cindy...thanks for the article… I’m glad that the Japanese fans like and praised her… And I agree with them….Hyo Joo looks so pretty and elegant in BL Fans Meeting… I like her dress and her makeup….even her hairdo... So proud of her… I think when she sang with LSG……she didn’t nervous… judging from the pic... I wish there is a video about their performance… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimini Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 ^ No problems! ;D And I'm really happy and excited to hear that she was warmly welcomed by the Japanese That means she'll have a shot at debuting in Japan one day lol. I think it's nice that Hyo Joo's looks are so versatile She can easily look so different just by having a different hairstyle. She probable wasn't as nervous as when she performed at the SBS Drama Awards lol. Not as many people and definitely not a sexy So Ji Sub watching her among the audience & I wish there was a video too From the super short snippet in the Japanese news video, they sounded really cute together XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimini Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Actress Han Hyo-joo promotes drama in Japan Korean actress Han Hyo-joo was in Japan last week to promote her hit TV series "Shining Inheritance," according to her agency BH Entertainment on Tuesday. The actress arrived in Japan last Friday for the press conference of "Inheritance" as well as a fan meeting and round table interview. The show, which began its run March 2 on Japan's public network Fuji TV, recorded viewership ratings of 5.3 percent on the first day of its showing. BH said Fuji has requested Han for her continued cooperation in Fuji's plans to further market "Inheritance" as well as help the actress gain wider popularity in Japan. She has also already received offers to appear in Japanese television commercials, BH added. Han made her debut in 2004 through MBC sitcom "Nonstop 5" and has since appeared in several movies and dramas including "Spring Waltz" and "Iljimae." She shot to stardom however, through "Inheritance" which scored ratings past 45 percent last year. She will star in historical drama "Dong Yi," helmed by director Lee Byung-hoon of "Jewel in the Palace" fame, starting next week.

Guest allanpuge23 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hi All...

Guest iceangela Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 hello bashful, yeah of course you may use it. haha to think of hyojoo posing the 'V' sign for a historical drama poster is making me ROFL!!! LOL! That would be very funny huh. haha. Thanks lots for all the updates and translations, guys! hi allanpuge, nice to meet ya! haha yepp, hopefully someone will sub it and upload it somewhere? & I'm sure dong yi will be a big hit with such great casts and script? and of course all their hard work! & omg!!! 2nd preview of dongyi is out!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YnWAgSqCzI Though hyojoo is still not in the preview, but it does look kind of interesting. Little dong yi is so adorable! haha. I wonder what they're saying in the preview... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iceangela Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Screencaps from dongyi preview 2: cr baidu. Dongyi pics: cr as labeled. Why isn't hyojoo appearing yet??? T.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimini Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 ^ Dang! That's so many extras in the court scene And they're all in a straight line.... amazing haha. I can't wait till we see Hyo Joo play the Korean harp! Dong Yi is looking very promising! Such a large production.. I pray Hyo Joo will be able to do a good job.. I know a lot of people aren't expecting much from her performance, but it'd be so great if she does a wonderful portrayal. And young Dong Yi is adorable! She's going to grow up to be a beautiful girl and a lovely actress. She's got a bright future ahead of her LOL Hyo Joo probably hasn't even started filming her parts yet, since the first couple of episodes will focus on the younger her. But I would've thought they'd film SOMETHING with Hyo Joo in it for the teasers, since we've seen Bae Soo Bin and Lee So Yeon. I don't think Ji Jin Hee has popped up in the teasers either. Hmmms.. lol I want to see her in pretty hanboks T_T Haha, your graphics are so pretty -____-' And omgah, it'd be so weird seeing serious, contemplative Dong Yi posing with pufferfish cheeks and a peace sign It just does not compute in my head I hope someone will pick up Dong Yi to sub too Especially since it's MBC's 49th Anniversary project *sighs. Maybe a group will later on? Hopefully before Dong Yi begins airing though.. At least there's always Viikii lol. Looking at Dong Yi's competitors of that timeslot, I think it's fairly obvious that Dong Yi will come out on top. It'll be competing with Jejoongwon (SBS) & Birth of a Rich (KBS). MBC Mon-Tue sageuks never fail to catch the viewers' attention, but you never know, so we'll see Thanks for sharing all the pictures and the links! allanpuge: Hey there! Haven't seen you in here in a while I miss this thread and Hyo Joo when I'm too busy to update, so I know how you feel T_T haha I'm so excited for Dong Yi now! The potential of epicness has got me jumping on my seat in anticipation! I hope a subbing group will pick up Dong Yi to sub too If not... We're going to have to rely on Viikii for all 50 episodes x_x And dang, you're going to download all the episodes?! I feel bad for your hard drive haha And I hope Dong Yi has a successful run too... 50% ratings is really high I just hope it'll have a steady viewership rating But of course, it'd be awesome if Dong Yi got as popular as BL and exceeded its highest rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to http://blog.oricon.co.jp/kareinaruisan/, ratings for the March 9th episode rose to 6.8%! It beat My Name is Kim Sam Soon's highest rating in Japan, which was 6.7% BL fighting!

But I never watch Hyo Joo’s old movies… I had trouble to find the link for Download them… By the way… I accidentally read an interesting title in hyo Joo’s cafedaum.. The title is “ Heaven’s Postman released in Japan”… ...It is true? Or I’m wrong about that… Sorry if I’m wrong…bcoz I can’t read Korean…the translation is from google...hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
