I own vcd of this series. This drama is so sad. Shim Eun Ha and Lee Byung Hun are so great in this series. My favorite scene was when they were in the zoo. Those little kids are so cute.

Hi Beavercleaver! Totally agree with you about the series, despite the very simple production... it's one of the best Kdramas around and before the Korean Wave, too. The chemistry of the leads and/with the kids were simply amazing. The little boy especially will tug your heartstrings each time he speaks so proudly of his abeoji (LBH).

I know this is off topic but it's from Beautiful My Lady I came to know & appreciate Ms. Shim. And today (18 Oct 2005) is her wedding day, a BEAUTIFUL MY LADY indeed.

Lovely Couple

^ She look so elegant in that picture. Thanks rubie. I wish Shim Eun Ha will act again. I hope she does a comedy with Lee Byung Hun. Beautiful my lady and White Night were both so sad.

Hope she'll act again, too but I think the marriage somehow seals her retirement from acting.

A comedy from SEH... with LBH.... would be awesome!

Besides trying to complete my LBH collection, I think it is a good drama altho very sad from the bits and pieces of news/views that i got on it.

Well, it took me two years to find LBH's Happy Together with english subs.

BEAUTIFUL MY LADY

Shim Eun-ha

Complete filmography:

Interview (2000)

Tell Me Something (1999)

The Uprising (1999)

Art Museum by the Zoo (1998)

Christmas in August (1998)

Born to Kill (1996)

My Old Sweetheart (1995)

Shim Eun-ha (b. September 23, 1972) debuted in 1994 in the basketball-themed TV drama The Last Match, and quickly became the nation's most popular and talked-about star. After acting in three more television dramas and two lesser-known films (including Born To Kill with Jung Woo-sung), she made a permanent mark in the film industry with her performance in Hur Jin-ho's modern-day classic Christmas in August (1998). Later that year Art Museum by the Zoo, which presented a more down-to-earth side of the actress, saw her win over more critical praise for her acting abilities. Throughout this period, Shim consistently topped magazine polls as the most popular actress in the film industry.

In Tell Me Something, her star power combined with Han Suk-kyu to create one of the most highly anticipated works in Korean film history (though most viewers ultimately expressed disappointment at the film's convoluted narrative). The following year she appeared in Korea's first Dogme film Interview, which would end up being her last appearance.

In 2002, after rumors surfaced of an engagement which was later called off, Shim decided to give up her entertainment career. In the ensuing years, despite periodic rumors that she would resume her film career, Shim has tried her best to remain out of the public eye, studying in France and taking up painting. However despite (or perhaps because of) her long absence, she remains the undisputedly most popular actress of the last decade. In October 2005 she was married to a professor from Yonsei University, and at the time she re-affirmed that she will not return to acting.

Lee Byung-heon

Complete filmography:

A Bittersweet Life (2005)

Everybody Has Secrets (2004)

Addicted (2002)

My Beautiful Girl, Mari (2002, voice)

Bungee Jumping of Their Own (2001)

Joint Security Area (2000)

Harmonium in My Memory (1999)

Elegy of the Earth (1997)

Kill the Love (1996)

Armageddon (1996) (voice)

Runaway (1995)

Who Drives Me Mad? (1995)

Lee Byung-heon (b. July 12, 1970) majored in French at Hanyang University before making his television debut on KBS in 1991. A fixture in TV dramas throughout the decade, Lee has continued to work in television even after becoming a major film star. His movie debut came in 1995 as the lead in Who Drives Me Mad?, and he worked off and on in the film industry up until his breakthrough film in 2000, Joint Security Area.

For a long time thought of as just another pretty face, Lee eventually earned great praise for his acting, both for his turn in JSA and especially in Bungee Jumping of Their Own. He also starred in the popular television drama Beautiful Days, which screened in spring 2002 on SBS and would later be exported across Asia.

In 2002, Lee starred with actress Lee Mi-yeon in Addicted, a melodrama about two brothers who fall into a coma on the same day. The following spring he also took the lead role in the highly popular TV drama All In, about a successful gambler.

In 2004, Lee appeared opposite actresses Choi Ji-woo, Choo Sang-mi and Kim Hyo-jin in Everybody Has Secrets, a remake of the Irish comedy About Adam. Also that year, several of Lee's TV dramas began to screen in Japan, and his popularity there started to soar. He eventually became even more popular in Japan than he is in Korea.

Then in 2005, Lee appeared in Kim Jee-woon's highly anticipated action-noir A Bittersweet Life. Although the film ended up performing below expectations in both Korea and Japan, it was selected to screen in the Official Selection (out of competition) at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, giving Lee the opportunity to "walk the red carpet" for his biggest moment of fame.

Deep gratitude to koreanfilm.org for the information & captures.
