“There’s really not any aspect that you could say, ‘oh, that’s just average.’”

Really?? I guess I just don’t see it. I don’t even think that she has “perfect” features that just put together the wrong way. hm…

HCY’s phrases were the work of the brillliant Hong sisters, but I do agree that Allo will create fads (if it ever succeeds in airing).

Moon Jung Hee – not the best pictures…you have to see her on screen

Han Chae Young is… something. There’s really not any aspect that you could say, “oh, that’s just average.” I think Nell123 is right on the money in that respect. Maybe put together, it doesn’t quite fit, but the overall effect is still stunning.

And given the fact that Magazine Allo is NOT dead in the water, but just postponed, I think we will be in for a REAL treat when Magazine Allo finally reaches the airwaves, to see Han Chae Young going 110% with respect makeup, style, fashion and appearance. She very well might start faddy trends, with her hair, dress and makeup. HCY had her signature phrases in DGCH, but in this drama, I think her signature “looks” might be something really to watch out for.

It will be interesting to see how k-culture will be affected by a single person, in a single drama. I predict at least TWO fads to come out of Magazine Allo, with at least ONE fad to come out of whatever it is that HCY is wearing, saying, eating, drinking, or using.

The product placement for Magazine Allo will be huge!

Moon Jung Hee…can’t think of any more at the moment….maybe, Kim Hee Sun?

I’ll be civil about this. You guys are babo’s. LOL. I am just kidding! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And millions of eyes agree with the proposition that Go Ara and Han Chae Young are beautiful.

Still, I didn’t really think that HCY was that pretty in DGCH (something was off… was it the nose?), but I think they really tried hard to plain-jane her. If you look at her red carpet photos and her glam shots, HCY is on the short list of k-beauties, I would think. Go Ara has a different look to her than HCY, but she is also quite stunning in her own way.

To be continued on an open thread, but I can’t articulate what makes a female “pretty,” or “beautiful” or whatever. I just know it when I see it. Just like I can hear a song and tell you with reasonable accuracy whether it will be a pop hit. YEH, HCY, GAR – all really beautiful, but in different ways. Kim Sunah, my fav actor (male or female, sorry Binnie), is beautiful, but in slightly different way than, say, Nam Sang Mi is beautiful or Kim Haneul is beautiful…

NOW, entirely independent from that, there are certain aspects of “hot”ness that seem to be epitomized in a sub-culture of k-popular culture – aka the “racing girl” (레이싱걸). I really dislike bringing this up for obvious reasons, but for dialogue and understanding purposes, this aspect should be reviewed and understood – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmX2D-37FWM. This is another side to beauty, and its effect on guys should not be underestimated.

Yes, I think it would be funny if the law drama touches on plagiarism and basically have the whole fashion storyline dropped into the law drama. They can even linked both the law and fashion world with a little bit of romance.
