HI All!!!

I just finished watching ILA (with the english subs) and noticed something...from the beginning of the segment to the end, there seemed to be a LOT of CLOY references and clips but NONE from DM, in fact it wasn't even mentioned. There was even a clip of the scene where Dan confronts Capt Ri, hence a quick glimpse of HB. Even the background music were mostly from the CLOY OST.  I guess one could make the argument that she's more widely known for CLOY, even if DM is her most recent work.

Of course, my theory is---- if they were to talk about DM, then SSH would come up as a topic of conversation, and it could be "burdensome" and perhaps awkward, as the "natural" progression of questioning would be 'So, what's your relationship status? Are you you guys dating" Just friends?" So to side step all that --- better NOT bring up DM at all, right?

For those who watched "Gaemsang Camping" with SSH as a guest, was the DM topic avoided as well? 

My conclusion--- they must be in a relationship and a private one at that, and don't want to discuss it. The recent pictures from the Japanese magazine and the video of the interview, is proof of their relationship (as seen by their body language), hence, clearly that they are together. However the fact that neither mentions it in their respective guest appearances , send the message "Please don't ask us about it, because we want to keep it private".

 And THAT is My 2 cent analysis.   

Have a good week ALL!!! Wonder what is in store for us shippers?

Wishing and Praying that its something good.

@airgelaal --- I thought I was the only one who noticed this too...HHHMMMMM.

 

See my *analysis* above.  

I watched both episodes of gamsung camping...

 

They never asked ssh abt his love life...

Not even once...

 

They just didnt talk about him in detail...

The only love life talked about was that of ahn young mi...

Which was really funny and cute when she did the video call with her husband...

Can tell ssh is envious of her closeness with her husband despite being separated for 7 months...

Note:
I don't know why there is always a coincidence of links between SSH and SJH.
On the broadcast on "I Live Alone", it seems that SJH really likes the violet.

 

 

Yes SJH was wearing a violet shirt and a few of her things are violet. Yes so many coincidences between SSH and SJH. I want to believe they are brought together by destiny.

Another thing that makes me believe that they are together is the video where SSH's friend Kwon Sang Woo said that SSH doesn't answer when he calls because he is busy and lives in a different world. That world could be with SJH now and SSH just wants to be with her and not hang out so much with his friends.

I was touched when SJH said that "she would not be able to find a man to marry her". Her words were very honest and frank. 
It seems she has the guilt for not being able to fulfill her promise to her parents, especially her mother, to marry three or five years after she decided to live alone. Her honesty and her candor show that she has never felt that she is beautiful, and with her beauty she is easy to find men. In fact, she is not just "beautiful" but "very very very beautiful".

 

But as a human she also feels she has many shortcomings so in an interview she once said that if she found someone who loves her, she wanted that man to know her bad side too.

 

I remember in an interview after drama DM ended, she said that when she was in her early 30s, her mother used to ask her about marriage. But when she was in her mid 30s her mother never asked her again. So even though her mother never asked her again about "marriage", it seemed "the promise" was always on her mind.

 

I rarely see a beautiful actress who is currently trending on internet search in Korea so honest, straightforward and has an open mind like her. What I know, they will usually be more closed off, especially personal and family matters. This may be to avoid harsh comments from viewers. Likewise with SJH initially.

 

She said she initially felt uncomfortable appearing on ILA because she didn't know what people would think of her. But the people around her advised to appear on the program.

 

When she finally agreed to appear there, it seemed that her mother's support (and support from someone special) played a big part, considering that her mother also was a fan of the program. This made Narae jokingly thank her mother.

 

And what is very important for the people around her, for her mother (and for someone special) to suggest that she had to appear in ILA is to break people's perception that her real image is not like the roles she plays in dramas, such as cold image, not easy to approach and without feeling. 

 

Evidently her true image is far from her roles in dramas. She can be touched when she sees animal videos, she really cares for her friends, she can laugh to tears while playing dance games, and she can also be honest and straightforward.

 

As we all know how she once shared in the 2019 tvN program "Life Bar" to Shin Dong-yup and the other hosts, about her parents' hard times when she started working in the industry. At that time her parents were in financial trouble. She gave her savings as loans to her parents, given the savings that she would use as school fees. 

 

Hearing this, Shin Dong-yup said that in fact there are no parents who, if not because of their situation, would like to be a burden on their children. It left the other hosts speechless and the other guests in tears. She shed tears there but she was very honest and straightforward. 

 

When the "Life Bar" program happened, her name wasn't as famous as it is today. But her honesty and her candor didn't change just because she has become famous now.

 

In the ILA program, she remained honest and straightforward about how much she concentrated on her face, which was easily swollen. She shared how she was accused of having injections in her face.

 

She is also honest and straightforward, about her parents' concerns because she hasn't been able to find a man to marry her. She also honestly said her wish that one day she would marry and have children.

She also proudly shared about her sister who got married in Australia and how much she missed her niece/nephew.

She really is a woman who puts family first. She always brought her family with her in every interview.

 

I once read on the news about SSH interview. There he said that he was a conventional person. He wanted a wife who takes care of the family.

I think this fits perfectly with what SJH said in ILA that now is the time for her to focus on herself because later when she might get married and might have kids, she doesn't have time for herself.
And SSH had heard directly when she said that family was on her mind the most when answering questions on Japanese TV interview

@hrkharis I truly appreciate your thorough analysis. ALWAYS so insightful. Thank you. 

Truth be told, for our OPT, they both deserve to be happy and move on to the next adventures of life--- that partner who will be with them through thick and thin.

Both of them have successful careers, and yes, personal and professional ups and downs, which they overcome. FATE and DESTINY (with a little help from PDnim) brought them together. SO..may the powers of the universe bring them happy EVER AFTER now! (if not now...SOON)

Wow  .... This is SJH's old drama that I wanted to watch, but I can't find it on any drama site.
Thank you for sharing. 

 

[mtdgmend]

@nyzah13 Thank you for the links to Me, Mom, Dad, Granny, Anna--- I just finished watching the drama. SJH is such a versatile actress. 

[nyzah13]

I'm back, thanks for appreciating SJH's drama special..

 

I've read everyone's observation about how constant our SJH is especially after appearing in ILA.. And indeed, this proves how she's really true to herself. We have seen her in interviews, variety and reality shows.. I noticed a constant thing about her as well.. In her Arirang interview few yearrs ago, she mentioned that for her to be able to act in a sad and emotional scene she doesn't want to immerse herself in a gloomy atmosphere, instead she wants a bright one.. And to prove that, we saw her on ILA laughing very hard and still was able to drop tears or cry due to so much joy!~ And indeed, she never failed to prove how she does her acting as well as showing her true self..

Congratulations to our Seo JiHye!! Thank you for showing up to us.. Know that WE LOVE YOU for who you are..

 

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed her MBC Drama Festival with another spectacular acting, the story was so nice as well, again this tackles different aspects of life, battling emotions that we should spread awareness of mental health not just for adults but as well as to the younger ones and how it spreads to everyone who is connected to the person that they might as well take care of themselves mentally. It's also a story of family and forgiveness..

 

Good day to you all!! Have a great one!! ^^

Hello everyone and @fiona628.. Good to know, in Korean Dramas and Movies the released English titles vary most of the time.. Always refer and check several media sites for the names of Kdramas or movies.. I find hancinema, asianwiki, and wikipedia of the actors/actress filmography reliable but expect that this sites has lacking if you compare each other as well as titles of the dramas/movies.

 

I find this online viewing site to watch as well with good uploads of old and latest ones.. Just check the other titles of the Kdramas and KMovies..

 

Here's the link for the KMovie starring Seo JiHye titles "A Lone Tree" or "Sleeping Tree" or "A Standing Tree"

I hope you enjoy the movie.. ^^

A Guide to some of Seo Ji Hye's past works which you may want to watch.

 

https://mydramalist.com/article/2016/12/21/a-stalkers-guide-to-seo-ji-hye

 

I'll Give You the Stars and the Moon (2012)

My absolute favorite drama of hers and my favorite character of hers that she has played She plays a rich girl who does volunteer work at a hospital and teaches baking lessons to the elders. She meets and falls in love with Jinu (played by Jo Dong Hyeok) who works as a doctor there. Her character is very sweet and loveable and she's nicknamed the "happy virus" in it by her friend. She stands her ground and is also stubborn in the good sense. This is one of the BEST daily dramas out there! They are one of my favorite couples in drama-land

Saranghae (2008)

My second favorite drama of hers where she plays a naive girl who falls in love with a guy (played by Ahn Jae Wook) who is scared of commitment but a one night stand leads them to get married and a baby is on the way. This pair is a couple who learns how to love and they meet friends who discuss similar issues.

Kim Soo Ro (2010)

She plays an Korean/Indian princess who falls in love with Soo Ro (played by Ji Sung) and waits for him by his side until he finally sees her - their love story is epic and extremely faithful. This was the first drama I've seen her in and I instantly became a fan of not only her acting but her beauty as well. I think she's one of the most beautiful Korean actresses I've ever seen and I wish my nose looked as nice as hers (yes I have issues with my profile lol). This is one of my favorite Sageuk's b/c of this love story. She fell in love with him at first sight and he later falls for her.  If you watch close enough you can see the unspeakable bond that connects them with every look - she knew from the begining and called it fate, that he was her destiny. It takes him time to realize this for himself but I caught glimpes of the connection in every look he gave her, though he didn't understand why he felt that way deep down inside - too consumed with his puppy love of another, he kept overlooking the grand destiny that was before him.   

Over the Rainbow (2006)

In this drama, she plays another one of those characters that I love her in Cute, innocent, sweet, smart and clumsy^^ She's absolutely PERFECT for those roles! Every drama she plays a character like that, it makes me love her. In this, she plays a fan of Rex (a popular singer played by Hwan Hee) who b/c of issues tries to pursue a dancing career which she knows she's bad at but she figures there is nothing one can't do without practice. Along the way she gets help discovering her passion and also falls in love. The drama as a whole is really good and I highly recommend it to music drama lovers It's the best I've seen in this genre. Seeing the singers and wannabe singers/dancers struggles in pursuit of what they love or are passionate about was really enjoyable. It was a stress free watch for me and I enjoyed it from episode 1 all the way to the end and marathoned it straight in 2 days And if anyone happens to be a fan of; Poppin Hyun Joon and Park Aeri on IS2 - well, Poppin Hyun Joon (Nam Hyun Joon) is in this drama! He was a special bonus that I wasn't expecting.        

Spoiler

Noble Woman (2014)

She plays the daughter of a housemaid and she falls for her "friend"s (the lady of the house's daughter) boyfriend but as things happen she actually ends up as his cousin in law. Her life is a struggle but she does find love in the process. I don't really like the title b/c it has nothing to do with the basis of the story - the title comes into play around episode 65 somewhere and as I said has no basis to the entire story. Anyways, I loved her character and Young Min - their story is what made the drama so great in my eyes. And the last half of the drama was my favorite. There were a few scenes later in the drama that made me cry a bit.                 

Spoiler

49 Days (2011)

In this drama, she plays the antagonist who betrays her friend's trust and cheats on her with her boyfriend, which causes this drama's plot to take off. She's not nice and you will more than likely dislike her in this drama. I love her in her more cutesy roles but she does a really good job at portraying mean characters too. This drama is about a girl who gets betrayed, falls into a coma and lives through another person in order to get a second chance at life and punish those who hurt her. It took me a few episodes to get into the drama when I watched it but at one point I was sucked into the drama but for me the ending was disappointing. I loved Jo Hyun Jae and Nam Gyu Ri and Jung Il Woo in this drama.

Spoiler

Chun Ja's Happy Events (2008)

This drama is about a girl who b/c of circumstances ends up pretending that the father of her baby is her boss's baby in order to protect the child from people who were trying to hurt her and the baby. The secret doesn't last long so don't worry. The brother of the man she lied about falls in love with her despite this past between them and once he realizes his feelings he pursues her relentlessly He was actually my favorite character in the drama (Joo Hyuk played by Joo Sang Wook). SJH's character was a likeable but way too frustrating with all her "noble idiocy" that she constantly dished out in the drama :/ And she cried more than I liked as well. If she would have pursued what she wanted more without feeling so guilty all the time I'd have liked her more than I did. You can't find this drama online anymore, I found it a long time ago and downloaded it but I recently searched for it again and it's gone :/ I watched it raw as it's was Chinese site.

              http://img.imbc.com/broad/tv/drama/chunzane/images/top.jpg

Ice Girl (2005)

She plays the fiancée to the "son" in this drama as well as a fellow doctor. She is betrayed by him when he says he is in love with the "Ice girl" - I loved her character - she's the main reason I watched this drama. I skip watched it however b/c I could not bear to watch any romance between the "ice girl" and that guy - I shipped the "ice girl" with her first love the "son"s father. The drama is about a girl who suffers heart issues and her father is a scientist, one day her heart won't last any longer - so her father takes drastic measures and "freezes" her until a day arrives where she can have a surgery that will save her life. Crazy right?! Yeah, well there are consequences to the dad's actions and not just one either but several - never take fate into your own hands. I watched it beginning to end for SJH and for the love story between the Ice girl and her first love.

                            

Spoiler

Punch (2014)

In this drama she plays the partner or secretary of sorts to Kim Rae Won's character and her character isn't an extremely prominent figure in this drama but she was a loyal workmate of his and she also had a crush on him. (if I remember correctly). This drama is extremely good, the political fights, the conversations between characters and the emotions delivered. Simple and AMAZING drama! Our main lead is suffering from a deadly brain tumor and decides he needs to fight the corruption he's been helping all along in order to leave a better world for his young daughter after he's gone.

    

Spoiler

            

Jealousy Incarnate (2016)

She's a supporting character in this drama as well and she plays a news anchor who is "interested" in the lead (but in her own unique way lol) - she was an enjoyable character with crazy attributes. This drama was an enjoyable marathon. All characters were special in their own way and the drama seemed to flow nicely and the music was super nice!

Spoiler

Yeah, That's How it is (2016)

She's a supporting lead in this drama as a girl who was widowed only 15 days after her marriage and loses her mother-in-law shortly after - she lives with her father-in-law and is judged b/c of it - but she is just a simple girl who loved one man and will only leave once her father-in-law gets remarried. She also struggles to move on, herself. I found her character to be somewhat dull and lifeless and too rigid - except for when she was around her friends (and in-laws) So Hee and Se Hee. When they all got together and they'd laugh so much, her character just seemed to come to life. ^^ I also thought it was unfortunate that the drama didn't complete her story - so her story left me unsatisfied. I actually really liked Se Hee (Yoon So Yi), Yuri's (Wang Ji Hye) and So Hee's (Shin So Yool) storylines more.

Spoiler

~ Drama Specials ~

Legend of Hyang Dan (2007)

She plays Hyang Dan the servant girl of Chun Hyang and falls in love with the lead guy played by Choi Shi Won. This drama is very fun, lots of laughing - and the songs that those random women would sing were absolutely hilarious! I really enjoyed Siwon's character in this as well as the love story. ^^

Spoiler

Me Mom Dad Grandma and Anna (2013)

She plays a woman in a wheelchair who looks at life negatively but only when given the reasons to - I understood her and she wasn't completely wrong either. The story tells it from 3 different perspectives. It's worth watching as the story shows you what can happen in real life when you have misunderstandings, jealousy and anger. Imagination can become real if you let it. And her son witnesses the whole thing.

                      

Spoiler

Snail Boarding House (2010)

She's a boarder at a boarding house and falls for a fellow boarder and they sorta raise a snail together. It's a cute short, sweet and not too deep drama special.

Spoiler

Snow Lotus (2015)

She plays the evil girlfriend, lol - the drama is about a love so strong it transcends space and time. 2 lovers from 1,000 years ago meet again through their dreams and finally into reality I really enjoyed it.

Spoiler

~ Movies ~

Standing Sleeping Tree (2010)

In this, she meets and falls in love with a firefighter but her love is short-lasted after 5yrs of marriage and 1 kid her husband finds out that he is dying. Their love story is very realistic/natural and really sweet. It's a beautiful movie that is sure to bring you to tears. It's heartwarming and full of family, friendship, romance and sadness.

It was a stress free watch for me and I enjoyed it from episode 1 all the way to the end and marathoned it straight in 2 days And if anyone happens to be a fan of; Poppin Hyun Joon and Park Aeri on IS2 - well, Poppin Hyun Joon (Nam Hyun Joon) is in this drama! He was a special bonus that I wasn't expecting.

Noble Woman (2014)

She plays the daughter of a housemaid and she falls for her "friend"s (the lady of the house's daughter) boyfriend but as things happen she actually ends up as his cousin in law. Her life is a struggle but she does find love in the process. I don't really like the title b/c it has nothing to do with the basis of the story - the title comes into play around episode 65 somewhere and as I said has no basis to the entire story. Anyways, I loved her character and Young Min - their story is what made the drama so great in my eyes. And the last half of the drama was my favorite. There were a few scenes later in the drama that made me cry a bit.

49 Days (2011)

In this drama, she plays the antagonist who betrays her friend's trust and cheats on her with her boyfriend, which causes this drama's plot to take off. She's not nice and you will more than likely dislike her in this drama. I love her in her more cutesy roles but she does a really good job at portraying mean characters too. This drama is about a girl who gets betrayed, falls into a coma and lives through another person in order to get a second chance at life and punish those who hurt her. It took me a few episodes to get into the drama when I watched it but at one point I was sucked into the drama but for me the ending was disappointing. I loved Jo Hyun Jae and Nam Gyu Ri and Jung Il Woo in this drama.

Chun Ja's Happy Events (2008)

This drama is about a girl who b/c of circumstances ends up pretending that the father of her baby is her boss's baby in order to protect the child from people who were trying to hurt her and the baby. The secret doesn't last long so don't worry. The brother of the man she lied about falls in love with her despite this past between them and once he realizes his feelings he pursues her relentlessly He was actually my favorite character in the drama (Joo Hyuk played by Joo Sang Wook). SJH's character was a likeable but way too frustrating with all her "noble idiocy" that she constantly dished out in the drama :/ And she cried more than I liked as well. If she would have pursued what she wanted more without feeling so guilty all the time I'd have liked her more than I did. You can't find this drama online anymore, I found it a long time ago and downloaded it but I recently searched for it again and it's gone :/ I watched it raw as it's was Chinese site.

Ice Girl (2005)

She plays the fiancée to the "son" in this drama as well as a fellow doctor. She is betrayed by him when he says he is in love with the "Ice girl" - I loved her character - she's the main reason I watched this drama. I skip watched it however b/c I could not bear to watch any romance between the "ice girl" and that guy - I shipped the "ice girl" with her first love the "son"s father. The drama is about a girl who suffers heart issues and her father is a scientist, one day her heart won't last any longer - so her father takes drastic measures and "freezes" her until a day arrives where she can have a surgery that will save her life. Crazy right?! Yeah, well there are consequences to the dad's actions and not just one either but several - never take fate into your own hands. I watched it beginning to end for SJH and for the love story between the Ice girl and her first love.

Punch (2014)

In this drama she plays the partner or secretary of sorts to Kim Rae Won's character and her character isn't an extremely prominent figure in this drama but she was a loyal workmate of his and she also had a crush on him. (if I remember correctly). This drama is extremely good, the political fights, the conversations between characters and the emotions delivered. Simple and AMAZING drama! Our main lead is suffering from a deadly brain tumor and decides he needs to fight the corruption he's been helping all along in order to leave a better world for his young daughter after he's gone.

Jealousy Incarnate (2016)

She's a supporting character in this drama as well and she plays a news anchor who is "interested" in the lead (but in her own unique way lol) - she was an enjoyable character with crazy attributes. This drama was an enjoyable marathon. All characters were special in their own way and the drama seemed to flow nicely and the music was super nice!

Yeah, That's How it is (2016)

She's a supporting lead in this drama as a girl who was widowed only 15 days after her marriage and loses her mother-in-law shortly after - she lives with her father-in-law and is judged b/c of it - but she is just a simple girl who loved one man and will only leave once her father-in-law gets remarried. She also struggles to move on, herself. I found her character to be somewhat dull and lifeless and too rigid - except for when she was around her friends (and in-laws) So Hee and Se Hee. When they all got together and they'd laugh so much, her character just seemed to come to life. ^^ I also thought it was unfortunate that the drama didn't complete her story - so her story left me unsatisfied. I actually really liked Se Hee (Yoon So Yi), Yuri's (Wang Ji Hye) and So Hee's (Shin So Yool) storylines more.

Legend of Hyang Dan (2007)

She plays Hyang Dan the servant girl of Chun Hyang and falls in love with the lead guy played by Choi Shi Won. This drama is very fun, lots of laughing - and the songs that those random women would sing were absolutely hilarious! I really enjoyed Siwon's character in this as well as the love story. ^^

Me Mom Dad Grandma and Anna (2013)

She plays a woman in a wheelchair who looks at life negatively but only when given the reasons to - I understood her and she wasn't completely wrong either. The story tells it from 3 different perspectives. It's worth watching as the story shows you what can happen in real life when you have misunderstandings, jealousy and anger. Imagination can become real if you let it. And her son witnesses the whole thing.

Snail Boarding House (2010)

Snow Lotus (2015)

She plays the evil girlfriend, lol - the drama is about a love so strong it transcends space and time. 2 lovers from 1,000 years ago meet again through their dreams and finally into reality I really enjoyed it.

Standing Sleeping Tree (2010)

In this, she meets and falls in love with a firefighter but her love is short-lasted after 5yrs of marriage and 1 kid her husband finds out that he is dying. Their love story is very realistic/natural and really sweet. It's a beautiful movie that is sure to bring you to tears. It's heartwarming and full of family, friendship, romance and sadness.

I found youtube links to Ice Girl (aka She's back).

But they are in spanish subs....

Sjh acted as a doctor in this drama (no wonder she said she had played a doctor role before in 2018 heart surgeons interviews) and she has a kind of ahem casual bf gf relationship with the male lead if you know what i mean...then the male lead falls in love with the first female lead. Sjh is the 2nd female lead who didnt get the first male lead.

 

Trivia: The actress who played first female lead is now playing the 2nd female lead in Private Lives (jtbc drama which is airing now).

@huckleberrymoonriver and @nyzah13, thank you for sending the link.

I am planning to watch Lone Tree this weekend.

 

SJH is still the most searched celebrity in Naver

 

From her Smartwatch to her Rolling Exercise Belt to Wheat Beer
 

 

 

 

Even Missha reported increase in sales 

 

The power of SJH.

Thank you to SSH for encouraging her to guest in ILA.

They really are a positive influence on each other. 

 

BTW, I saw a post on HyeonHye’s IG that apparently SSH is reading and checking Shipper’s post.

He might be checking this thread too

@fiona628. That’s so great to hear that she’s trending. I keep having her Taki Taki dance clip appear on my YouTube feed, that clip has reached over 1 million views!!  Even though it could be in part to Hwasa, but the fact that SJH is the majority of that clip makes me glad that people are getting to know her funny side. I click on that clip everyday even though I’ve watched it tons of times.

@L Chen, I get a good laugh watching SJH’s taki taki dance. She is Hilarious. 

But I am happy people get to see the real SJH who is simple and nurturing. 
 

 

[mtdgmend]

@fiona628 Knowing that SSH (and probably SJH, or perhaps their staff) lurks here and perhaps IG, is great news to us.

 

After watching SJH's ILA segment, I'm so fangirling over her. Thanks to all who have posted links to her earlier works. You guys ROCK! Here's to the weekend wherever everyone is. 

P.S. Please send good vibes to us who are Stateside--- Next week will be a pivotal week for us. Thanks!
