f**K you , you moron.i like shin min a alot

I’m not making a plagarism accusation or anything (those are soo overplayed these days!) but from the little of the plot that they’ve explained it reminds me a of a recent Bollywood movie I’ve seen. The plot revolved around a prize money competition gone deadly, as each level players were permanently ‘eliminated’ while there lives were gambled on by people outside of the game. To be honest I hated that movie w/ the sick and gruesome plot…and I know this “plot” isn’t anything new, but I was curious

thx

ps. LMK fighting!!! even if this project is as I suspect I’ll support you otherwise !

For the last time, you need to chill and re-read my post. You misunderstood what X-factor is and you’re going off on a whole different tangent here. When I said Shin Minah lacks the X-factor, I wasn’t talking about “bubbly personality”. That’s not what X-factor is all about. Song Hae Kyo has that X-factor, even if she doesn’t have an extroverted, lively onscreen persona. It’s hard to define what X-factor is exactly, it’s that special quality that makes you memorable and stand out to an audience even if the movie/drama you are in sucks, or your acting is not yet up to par, but still there’s something unique or memorable about you that the audience have noticed. Whether it’s natural good looks, charisma or personality, most people can agree when an actor or actress has it. Jeon Ji Hyun has it in spades. Han Ye Seul has it. Jung Ryeo Won has it. And Kim So Eun seems to have it too. But Shin Minah? Not so much. She has her dedicated, vocal small group of fans who stick up for her, sure – but Shin has been given too many chances starring as main leads in many movies and dramas and still she’s failed to truly break out as a huge star or give a memorable performance that has everyone talking about her.

If Shin had that X-factor inside her in the first place, she wouldn’t have had to try so hard and would have reached success years ago. She’s in the same age group as YEH, Lee Da Hae, Han Ji Hye, Han Yesul etc, and they’re all way more popular than her. It’s not an excuse that Shin Minah lacks the opportunities and roles to do it – an actress with lots of X-factor will even make a bad movie tolerable and enjoyable, just to watch her acting onscreen alone. Shin just doesn’t have that ability to hook an audience. No offence to Shin Minah fans for my harsh comments, but it’s my honest opinion. You don’t have to agree with me, but I stand by what I said. That’s all.

Uhh, I think YOU need to relax.

All, I’m saying is that Shin Mina does have the overt charisma that JJH and YEH have (unlike actresses who don’t have the same type of “bubbly” personalities like SHG or LDH who have become popular mostly for their beauty).

Again, it has to do w/ the fact that Shin Mina hasn’t yet been in a breakout hit.

JJH had the same charisma when she made films like “White Valentine” or “Il Mare” – but it wasn’t until the monster hit “My Sassy Girl” that she b/c really popular.

Same goes for YEH, who had the same bubbly personality when she made “The Legend of Seven Cutter” prior to the big hits “Goong” and “Coffee Prince.”

The lack of charisma isn’t the reason why Shin Mina hasn’t achieved the level of popularity of a JJH or YEH (tho, she isn’t that far off considering the amount of companies who have her filming CFs for them) – that’s all I’m saying.

this looks pretty interesting!

If one day Shin Minah picks a challenging role and not her usual cutesy type girly role and gains much critical acclaim for her acting, then I might change my view about her. Right now I think Shin Minah is a poor man’s Jeon Ji Hyun. I’m not going to see this movie because I’m so tired of seeing her bland acting and “try too hard to be cute” face, even though I kinda like Lee Minki. But that’s no reason to not watch the movie for those of you who like them both, eh? That’s it, I’m out.

@piper

I have to disagree – while maybe Shin Mina may not reach the heights of popularity of a JJH or YEH, that has more to do w/ the fact that she hasn’t (yet) been in a project that swept Korea – she definitely has that X-factor (similar charisma/outgoing personality) which JJH and YEH have.

Otoh, SHG, while very pretty, doesn’t have that natural charisma that the other 3 have.
