Kim Tae Hee * 김태희 * 金泰希 * キムテヒ

[Guest freeminded]

Seems like the candy kiss scene has become a classic. Personally, I find it a bit disgusting but I guess to some people it is sweet. To me, I think the touchdown kiss in Love Story in Harvard is more memorable but it is not Tae Hee's recent work so they won't bring that up anymore.

[Guest kayana20]

I am glad to see some news I am waiting for her new drama. I love how Tae hee always answers her answers so politically correct but in the funniest and nicest manner. I really hope her new drama does not go up against Athena.

[Guest fivemagic]

It's November and MP shooting is just around the corner... certainly excited to see my angel Tae Hee with Seunnie!

Hello and Waving to Soju, Freeminded, 2uss, Kayana, SooinSmile, KTH, Ghostwriter, and everyone!

[Guest cofioca]

Hi everyone, just the same feature I've posted about a month ago but this one's an official english translation provided by 10 Asia. 

KOREAN WAVE > Celebrities 2010.11.02

Kim Tae-hee movie picks

Actress Kim Tae-hee was told that she was a bore in one talk show. The person who said that was actor Yang Dong-geun who played the male lead opposite her in film “Grand Prix.” He was telling the truth. Kim is far from other celebrities who are funny and skilled with their words, the latest trend in entertainment. God may have bestowed Kim with beauty -- the most important quality to be on screen, after all -- but not a brilliant talent and sense of the stage to go with it. Although her looks and intelligence continued to attract people’s attention there was always something about her performance that left the audience somewhat unsatisfied. Well, Kim is not like those talkative travelers who can go on and on about interesting twists, the unexpected u-turns or the nostalgia she has felt during her life because she is closer to a pilgrim, simply treading her way forward step by step, never digressing. 

“I ask and ask until I become absolutely certain. I’m the type who will say I know only when I'm 100 percent sure,” Kim said. There may be a rocket that can shoot you right to stardom but to become a real actor you have to slowly earn it. And Kim knows that. So she takes her steps slow but steadily, never dawdling. Note that all the movies she recommended below are about dreams, more precisely about how they were achieved. Therefore, a miraculous escape from hell that starts with digging a hole with spoon, an act of faith that makes fairy tale-like love a reality, girls who dance and sing to their utmost to realize their dreams -- all seem natural choices for she who has slowly and steadily pursued her own path. 

1. A Perfect World (1993) Director: Clint Eastwood

“When I was young I was a child not particularly happy nor sad. Not particularly emotional either. Movies like 'E.T.' would leave most of my friends crying except me. As for 'A Perfect World' I think I got it from a video rental store and watched it with my whole family. It’s been a while so I don’t quite remember the exact lines or scenes but I remember crying my eyes out while watching it. That was the first movie that left me crying (smile).” A boy who dreams of an ordinary life which others take as granted and an escaped convict who sees his lost childhood in that boy. But this heart-fluttering yet dangerous encounter continues to be threatened by prejudices that surround the two -- even though they were not asking for anything in particular of that 'perfect world,' Clint Eastwood directed the film and also starred in in as detective Red. 

2. The Shawshank Redemption (1994) Director: Frank Darabont 

“As an actress I shouldn’t be picky about genres but just being myself, I’m crazy about moving stories of life, something that teaches me about life and love. 'The Shawshank Redemption' is a timeless classic with solid plot and superb acting,” Not many people go for what everyone thinks is seemingly impossible. But for those who try it anyway, life rewards them with rich dreams. Andy (Tim Robinson) who was wrongfully accused of murdering his wife and taken to the prison, dreams of escape to clear his name. He finally succeeds, turning a spoon-size hope into an unbelievable reality that engulfs him like a pouring rain. 

3. Dreamgirls (2006) Director: Bill Condon 

"I was in Jeju Island to shoot 'Grand Prix' when we had to take a break because of sudden rain so I returned back to our lodgings to watch T.V. That’s when I saw 'Dreamgirls.' I had missed it when it was playing in theaters. The movie was filled with so many things to enjoy that I thought I wouldn’t mind seeing this on screen again. Yes, I wouldn’t mind starring in movies like that myself. My voice may not make not be good enough for a real stage but for movies, I might give myself a try.” In the film it is not easy to determine the winner - Jennifer Hudson from “American idol” highly credited for her great efforts and passion or the richly gifted diva Beyonce. But to meet both talents in one movie itself is a rewarding experience on its own for viewers. “Dreamgirls” that portrays the success of a female trio in Broadway followed by desire, jealousy and separation of three friends is one of the finest works on Broadway musicals

4. Notting Hill (1999) Director: Roger Michell 

"'Notting Hill' has to be special to you if you’re an actress. Sometimes I wonder if I could be as brave as Julia Roberts if something like this happened to me too. Perhaps, if I was head over heels in love because I'm always blinded when I'm in love. (laugh). I think that's how I'm most similar to the role of Choi Seung-hee that I played in 'Iris.' I become brave to the point of stupidity when it comes to someone I love.” It is not often that you see an actress fall in love with an ordinary book keeper. Although the situation becomes different when that book keeper happens to be Hugh Grant. The biggest beauty of this film is Elvis Costello’s pop song “She” that has become one of the most widespread pop song in Korea and the scenes that featured the gradual change of four seasons behind William (Hue Gran) who walked away lonely. 

5. Bridget Jones's Diary (2001) Director: Sharon Maguire 

“I really like romantic comedies. I even enjoy things that people consider corny. Like in the dialogue of Choi Seung-hee in 'Iris' I like childish things and dream of girlish, romantic stuff, like a knight in a shining armor, just like Bridget in 'Bridget Jones’s Diary.' Gone are the days when I didn’t need anyone or used to fool around with love. Gone are the days of youth. The part where Rene Zellweger, sings to Celine Dion’s 'All by Myself' all broken and haggard, that alone explains everything about the main characters. Noting seems to go right for Bridget - her weight, her love life, her workplace - yet Bridget does not let go of that string of hope in her diary.

Five, awesome Halloween artwork!  Saved it. 

Yup dear, it's already November and we are certainly awaiting some more news on MP! Oh please, come soon! 

Kayana, happy to see your post again! We are all absolutely  excited here for MP!  Hopefully, we'd be able to hear updates about it before this week ends. *crossing my fingers and toes*

Freeminded, yes it seems so. I remember Candy kiss was on the top spot in a survey about kdrama kisses. Well, I did like it because it was something "new." Yay! I also liked the touchdown kiss and I think it was even more enhanced with the couple's superb chemistry. Remember, they've had so many lovely kisses? 

Sooin, Sungkyunkwan Scandal's last episode was shown yesternight in Korea. So we can guess Tae Hee was tuning to it?  

[Guest freeminded]

I read another news that says Jung Joon Ho in IRIS not only considers Kim Tae Hee as his ideal type but he also said that Kim Tae Hee has a big appetite. He said she eats a lot and her appetite is comparable to a man but at the same time, she is still able to maintain her beautiful face. He also said Tae Hee is very friendly to people and is a hardworking actress.

[Guest fivemagic]

Thanks Soju for the article!  Much better English translation indeed!

Freeminded, hahaha, thanks for your post!  Funny to hear that Tae Hee has a really big appetite... but it's awesome to hear that even though she has a big appetite, she can still maintain her beautiful body like a 16 year old.  Thanks for the news!

I've been doing so many artworks lately, and I'm unsure if these have been posted here.  My apologies if they have already posted.

Sharing a couple Tae Hee blingee artworks...

[Guest freeminded]

We're in November now. Waiting desperately for more news of the series......

Also, some pictures just surfaced, in which Hee was spotted shooting for a new ad.  However, people from DC aren't certain whether it's for an old brand endorsement or a new one. ( Well, it would really be wonderful if ever she indeed acquired new endorsement contract ) 

~ Some guess it's for Hera while others thinks it's for a coffee brand. How about you, gals?

~And oh, it's said she's together (again) with Kang Dong Won for this ad? Makes me more curious.  

~ a not-so-clear sighting but Tae Hee, even from blurred view, love her sophisticated look

Omo, all I know is that I'm much excited to see it!!!

Btw, I love your new siggies... ** hugs** right back to you!!

Kim Tae Hee’s past photo proves her natural beauty

November 6, 2010

Kim Tae Hee’s past photo has been receiving a lot of praise these days, as it confirmed once more that the actress is a natural beauty.

The photo itself is nothing special, and is indeed quite blurry, but the bright smile on her face swept these details aside. Uploaded by a fan, the accompanying title read, “Kim Tae Hee does an all-kill with a single photo“. The fan meant to express that the actress’ beauty drew in the viewer’s attention completely, and blew all the other women out of the picture.

What’s interesting to note here is that Kim Tae Hee is standing next to anchorwoman Oh Jung Yeon, who was also a fellow student at Seoul University.

Netizens wrote, “This is a hit. She is a natural beauty,” “That is Oh Jung Yeon anchor. They were in ski club together,” “Of course Kim Tae Hee is this beautiful,” and “Oh Jung Yeon is a goddess in real life but Kim Tae Hee looks better compared to her.”

^ I've seen the photo before and wasn't really struck by the news but then, I'm happy to see this kind of write up. In the original article by TV Daily, it made mention that KTH is preparing for the filming of My Princess which is set to broadcast by January. Oh, I thought airing has been moved next month?  Whatever happens to this matter, I just hope shooting will push through this November. Please! 

Dear sis five, thanks for your really fast response, as always. I really appreciate your coming here everyday to show love to our dear Tae Hee! 

Thank you as well for using that as your siggie. Happy to see it. Likewise, thanks for your sig compliments. Sorry, I've changed mine again but I hope you also like it. 

And while we are dealing with our overexcitement for it, I wish to share some more MP banner artworks later on with all of you...

In the meantime, please make do with this adorable edited photo of SH-TH tandem:

^ That was from Summer Scent right? They really seem fit together.  Such a beautiful, heavenly pair! 

[Guest kayana20]

Ahh new Kim new makes me smile. I am waiting for MP next month and patiently too. I love that people priase her beauty but wish more would praise her acting too. She is amazingly talented and I get so agitated hearing that she is just a pretty face. When she is so much more than that. Multitalented, loving, and hardworking. ^_^

[Guest cofioca]

^ Yeah, I think any KTH fan would wish for that. Although many already know that she's a kindhearted and beauty&brains celeb but hopefully, My Princess gives way for some more peeps to finally recognize her acting talent and her efforts in always striving to improve her craft.

OMg loving the shipping for SSH and Tae Hee already! LOL that photoshoot totally took the breath away from me, I think I am going to fall hard for these two. No worries Rae Won is always there hehe.

OMG, that natural beauty pic, I always knew it and will always believe it and will never question Tae hee's beauty. She is beautiful heart out and the other way around! Support her tremendously, waiting for your new work heehee!

[Guest cofioca]

Wow Park Yoochun (Micky) has expressed once more his admiration for KTH, this time in a recent exclusive interview/feature, where he says that Tae Hee is her ideal woman and that he hopes to find the opportunity to act alongside our angel.  Hope this will materialize someday! 

Original article with rough translation:

Hello my fellow Tae Hee angels and fans!

Thanks bunches Soju for the lovely articles and translations as well as our baby Tae Hee photos!  She is such a cutie as a toddler wearing that cutey boot. I am so ever thankful for her very existence into this world... and thank you GOD for bringing such a beautiful angel to us! 

I am so happy to know her, to admire her, to adore her, and most of all, to LOVE her more and more each and every day of my life. 

 

Btw, I love her latest HERA poster (Vellusion) where she is standing in an angle profile by the wall... can't' get enough of her beautifulness... so gorgeous!!!

[Guest dollfacexC]

"Kim Tae-hee senior and I want to smoke again. My ideal is Kim Tae-hee is a senior. Finding opportunity and praying for it to come. " 

 

sorry, this translation's kinda funny.

[Guest freeminded]

Let me jump in to help some KTH fans out with what Micky said. I read an official translated interview from Micky.

Host: If there is an actress you want to work with, who will it be?

Micky: I really want to work with senior Kim Tae Hee. I hope that opportunity comes because she is also my ideal type.

If I am correct, this is the only part that is about actress Kim Tae Hee. There is also another Kim Tae Hee mention in the article but I believe that is someone in the production crew.

Another article I have found said, "Kim Tae Hee is making preparations for My Princess that will be broadcast next year in January. The series is in its filming process."

Hello Freeminded,

Thank you for the excellent english translations!  It's way better and more understandable than google.

Now, I can understand completely what Micky have said about working with Tae Hee when the opportunity comes.  It's really cool to know that Tae Hee is his IDEAL woman.

Also, thanks bunches for sharing and posting these nice links!  It's really awesome to know that she is preparing for MY PRINCESS.  

About the link to the script for the first two episodes, I click on the link provided, but I don't understand what it's saying.  Can you help us out?  Thank you kindly!
