		<description>yey for han hyo joo!! i wasnt as interested in sbs version as i am with seung gi&#039;s version.. ahhh.. but ill check it out as well.. more for hyo joo than ljk.. he never really struck a fancy with me.. i dont know why.. but ahhh love seung gi cant wait to see his acting.. ^^ 

hmm.. that whole han-lee breakup was too fishy. all of a sudden too. though they were a cute couple and they were together for so long.. id actually thought they be one of those couple whod make it..i dont have much opinion about han ji hye, though she&#039;s like sooo thin, tall and good for a model. i like lee dong gun he&#039;s nice guy. her saying that well it sounds weird. i dont know id call it filial piety or being a bitch about the whole thing. like she wants a one up over lee dong gun. best of luck to ldg.

the before and after of cosmetic surgery sounds cute. the caps are funny. plus the expressions of LJW is to watch out for. he is a definite hottie, just cute. ahhh such potential i saw in air city. too bad it ended that way.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Either way, the girl annoys me to an irrational degree. Can’t explain it; she just always looks so smug.&lt;/i&gt;

Haha, strange, cos I always had the same complaint about Lee Dong Gun!! (whom everyone around me luurrrrves) Anyway what a pity they broke up, I liked the way they were a couple both onscreen and offscreen, and it really looked like they&#039;d last.</description>

		<description>@ robbo4... this is not to say that k-actresses are horrible people... i&#039;m sure they also have genuine, positive qualities.. it&#039;s just that aside from talent, their profession is based on physical beauty, public image and status.. their world revolves around self-promotion, all to generate wealth and success for themselves.. i just wouldn&#039;t imagine these things as promoting or attracting personal characteristics of modesty and humility.. moreover, it&#039;s their obligation to be appreciative of the fans who make them who they are, and their responsibility to contribute back to society from the excessive ways in which they&#039;ve been rewarded by it.. i think they&#039;re good at what they do.. i just don&#039;t regard celebrities as saints, nor entertainment as a humanitarian enterprise.. it always amuses me to hear an entertainer ask for &quot;support&quot; from fans as if they were an urgent cause in crisis..</description>

		<description>Not knowing anything about these people personally, I had no idea that Han Ji-Hye was co-starring in the other drama, or that she was held with such disregard by so many fans.  I will say this though; She is absolutely gorgeous as well and I&#039;ve been charmed by her in everything that I&#039;ve seen her in thus far.

My opinion, of course, must be tempered with the fact that I&#039;m a guy and, as such, am often far from rational in my judgements of the opposite gender.

As for the assumption that most or all KDrama actresses are presumed to be arrogant and conceited, I&#039;d like to hold up the likes Yoon Eun-Hye, Moon Geun-Young and Eugene Kim as examples of the contrary.  From their interactions with fans and work in areas for the betterment of society, these ladies (and, no doubt, a great many others) serve as positive role-models and appear to be people with a genuine affection for humanity.</description>

		<description>i do like han hyo joo...her face really is refreshing. although i still find her lacking in the acting department. she&#039;s not that flexible yet, only being able to act roles in dramas and sitcoms as one of the &quot;good&quot; ones...

but yeah, i like her...</description>

		<description>Haha, I agree about Han JiHye.  The girl&#039;s cute, but rather annoying and conceited.</description>
