Choi Ji Woo’s fans are predominantly middle aged women/wives/married women. It’s interesting because women fans are generally go go ga ga over male actors not female actors. That’s why korean male actors generate a LOT more fans than korean female actors. There must be something that CJW possess that draws female fans. ”
Choi Ji Woo was blessed to have play the starring role opposite Bae Yong Joon in the KBS super-hit drama “Winter Love Story”. And actually someone stated that Park Yong Ha got his fame from having acting with Choi Ji Woo? Not exactly. Park Yong Ha was blessed to have been in the SAME drama with Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo and because of that all 3 rose in prominence in Japan, which the drama was hugely successful. Choi Ji Woo is less popular with female fans in other Asian countries, though. What makes CJW so endearing to female fans in particular is that her CHARACTER was so likeable and non-offending in the drama. Actually, I am probably the ONLY person who watched the drama that actually preferred the CJW-PYH pairing. I found Bae’s character a bit too much for me to swallow, while I liked the varied emotions shown by PYH’s character much more. But anyway…

I prefer younger Hallyu generation such as Lee Dong Wook, Rain, Kang Ji Wan, Hyun Bin not these old chaps. Sometimes I wonder what so special about them till can draw all the ahjummas out of their kitchen in Japan.

Same goes to female hallyu, I prefer younger one, SHK, LDH, YEH-to me younger one are more vibrant.”
Hmm…I guess to each their own. I’ve never really liked YEH and her acting needs a little more work but she was pretty decent in “Goong”. I’m not sure what you mean by “younger ones are more vibrant” but I find any actor who can act their socks off to be “more vibrant” than their age.

because it is not funny. it makes no sense. I’m a guy…I wouldn’t go around saying “if I were a girl, I’d go lesbian for Song gye hyo”.”
Clearly, you don’t find this funny. And that’s cool. Either you don’t get the joke or find it inappropriate. But kindly let us who DO get the joke and find it appropriate to enjoy it.

And Javabeans, I too am a humongous fan of JDG. Not only is he drop-dead gorgeous, he’s a great actor to boot. I can seriously hate (ok – well, not hate, exactly or seriously for that matter) his gf. (Um, Observer, that was a joke, ok?)

As for Won Bin, I’ve always felt that he is someone who is seriously bothered by all the attention from his incredible looks. It’s like he feels that either he doesn’t deserve it or that he wants to hide it for some reason. Perhaps he doesn’t want it to detract from his acting abilities (which, let’s face it, has grown much more than his “Autumn Love Story” days.) As for SSH, yes he was good in “East of Eden” but for me, the real acting credo goes to Park Hae Jin and to my delightful surprise, Yeon Jeong Hoon. They were fantastic.

you guys are right, they should pick one of these guys for IRIS 2..wonbin perhaps? heheh

agree with belleza..sonyejin’s a moment to remember and april snow are still topping in japan..
