He leaves me cold. He is not on the same acting level as Lee Byung Hun OR Taluya Kimura. They both are wonderful in their approach to acting and give all their effort to make the character important to the film. Hartnet is a Hollywood 'type'. Not a star in my opinion. My opinion.... I am really looking forward to seeing 'I Come with the Rain' because I adore Kimura san and I greatly admire Lee Byung Hun from his past films and dramas. Lee was also in Kimura's film 'HERO' and they know one another and get along well. Kimura plays a very difficult role. Not a lot of extended scenes but the ones I have scene were compelling. His acting was profound even in a short clip. Yes Lee is a good linguist. He has a good intellectual background as well as immense work ethic. He did have harsh treatment from actress who was latching on to his bright star. Shame on her...silence from the gentleman.Bravo I agree with the remark about Kimura looking young. He has a way of doing that when he wants to and it is not makeup for sure this time. He just knows how to concentrate I think. It's all in his mind and it works.

What makes me go "wow" with him is his accent! He speaks West Coast perfectly. If I didn't know who he was I'd assume he was a native speaker and just a little shy. So that's why it's easy to assume he must have lived in the US, rather than New Zealand, for example. His accent is spot-on flawless. That he *hasn't* lived in California makes his accent even more remarkable. Many of my friends speak English well, but it's immediately clear that they're foreign. Which isn't a bad thing at all, btw. In fact...hehehe. Anyway, he's so much hotter than Josh...who??

LBH may be a genius and all that, but he wasn't born a great actor. His work ethic also reflects that often he had to carry SBS event dramas, which often had A-list budget, but C-list writing. I've seen some of his 90s work, and for the most part, little of it actually makes you think "wow, this guy is going to be great." Most of us have been introduced to the work when he was already a finished product. And even then, you can see leaps in his acting from Beautiful Days to All In, and All In to Iris. He's always improving. And that’s the thing. LBH may be a genius and all that, but he wasn’t born a great actor.

I thought he's exactly the opposite with such a positive outlook, more open-minded (career-wise) and extremely hardworking attitude that probably drives everyone crazy. He was brought up in well-to-do family whose businessman father suddenly passed away (direct or indirectly related) during the economic crisis that hit the world badly in the late 90s and the family suffered a lot of debts. He got an early exemption from the military service to pay up all the debts by working hard taking much commercial and projects he could. He had a "downtime" being blacklisted in the movie industry but he never retreated. And so he had one failed relationship that hurt him a lot but that doesn't make him dwelling in misery.. He displayed such memorable tv performances that brought much attention to Kdramas in particular but it's after A Bittersweet Life in 2005 that he's just moving forward & better every time. Sure..some projects may suck (it happens to everyone) but he wouldn't be getting rave acting points if he isn't harworking and true to his talent.. Totally & definitely agree that he is pretty smart for an actor and very savvy, too.^^ GI Joe may be a bland movie but Storm Shadow sure is hot commodity now. It gets him known in a lot more places and fans checking him in out in IRIS will surely be blown away by LBH. ^^ Btw, I'm not flaming anyone (hope no one is offended) .. just indulging my curiousity..

I didn't make that association. However, LBH has been recognized by directors for picking up languages quickly. "has someone who can speak english fluently always has ever lived is country which english is their Main language?? NOPE!!!…" What makes his English so surprisingly good is that his English-speaking accent is very regional, such that I'd think he's from Southern California. Unless he actually lived in the States for awhile, you just don't expect that kind of awareness and command of regional intonation. “i am sorry english ability doesn’t equal with IQ.”
