[...] For KBS1’s Love Request,  Park Shin Hye went to Nepal last 17 of December 2009 to share some love, aside from books and other school materials.  (source) [...]

I have been updating myself about Korean drama/movies through your blog….and I am greatful for that.
I was interested in PSH’s visit to Nepal as I am a journalist working in Kantipur, national daily of Nepal. If i could know the organizers who are helping her to distribute/donate books and school materials to children, and request her for some time to talk to her…so that we could make some news out of it…as you know Korean artists have big fan base in Nepal as well, it would be like a Christmas treat to many of them.
So, could you please help me on this with some information on her program and organizer.
You can check my website for the authenticity of this request.

Thanking you!

Sincerely,

Smita Magar

i never knew that jgs and psh were considered for roles in BBF… funny how karma goes. they ended up in each other’s arms in YB even though they turned down BBF.

THANK YOU….that’s informative and I smiled because it’s definitely the way Go Mi Nam respected Tae Kyung. I loved the way she would say it!

A note to those who haven’t seen PSH in any other dramas….I’m watching her in Tree of Heaven….it’s a MUST see! She’s incredibly talented and it’s a real tear jerker….and a moving role for a young actress. Her male lead is also very good……or I should say EXCELLENT.

I’m certainly enjoying this ride with JB and all the neat people who share their comments! thanks for allowing me to be a part of your world!

I also think that JGS and PSH should be a perfect couple as GJP and GJD. JGS should be able to protray GJP’s character in a more interesting and lively way. But LMH is alright for this role.

I like YB better because it is an original story. BOF’s story has been re-made so many times (and I have watched all 3 versions) that it is not as interesting as YB.

In terms of picking the scriptwriter and director, I think JGS has made the right choice. Hong sisters and director Hong have done a much better job than those from BOF. But it is difficult to control the outcome i.e. rating.

I cannot understand why BOF can be so popular. Although I manage to finish the whole series, I found it extremely boring in the second half part of this drama.

YB should have done better if it was not put against Iris. So sometimes you just need more luck.

But I do believe JGS has built a good foundation for his acting careeer. He has been picking the right roles and doing a great job for each role so far. He just needs some more luck before rising to the top.

I am his die-hard fan now and will definitely follow his next drama/movie.

My pleasure, Norma. =)

Here’s an answer for us, courtesy of answers.google.com:

형님(hyung nim)

“hyung” is what you call an older male like older brother when you are a boy/man.

“nim” is Korean’s highest honorific. It is applied to someone important or to someone of great status like god, CEO and so on.

Of course, you can apply this to hyung as well if you believe that person is extremely important to you and/or yo respect him. But hyung-nim is particularly common among gang boss or between males that know each other very well.

Hope this may be of help. =)
