Kim Tae-hee adopts a new look in My Princess
by | January 25, 2011 | 155 Comments

Let’s just hope this is just a temporary look for Kim Tae-hee, who goes for a short cut in My Princess. Trust the palace’s resident Bitch in Waiting, Yoon-ju (Park Ye-jin), to be the mastermind of the style change: She tells Seol that she needs to change her hair for a more “elegant” look.

As the newly appointed director of the royal foundation, Yoon-ju is put in charge of preparing Princess Seol for her introduction to the media (although she snidely told her last episode that she’d better enjoy it before she’s inevitably kicked out on her butt), and is now guiding her as they prep for the upcoming official press conference. It figures Yoon-ju would assume she has the last word on elegance, though I wouldn’t have thought she’d want to go about turning her rival into a Mini-Me.

Seol apparently wears a wig in the scene, so I’m hoping this brief lapse in style will soon blow over. According to a member of the production team, we can expect Seol to put up her first signs of rebellion against Yoon-ju, who’s starting to reveal her true colors; we’ll soon be seeing the ladies clash in a battle of wills.

    I don’t like this cut :( Not for this kdrama…

  2. 52 Paula

    Everyone can’t rock a short hair style, it has nothing to do with being pretty or not. You have to have that short hair “swagger” “attitude” that says I can’t be define by my locks.

  3. 53 Anna

    It better just be temp because I will freaking freak out if its for the remainder of the drama

  4. 54 dramalover2012

    *sigh* why is she so beautiful and young?!?! she looks good with any haircut…

    she looks innocent with short, curly hair.
    she looks elegant/really pretty with long hair.
    she looks awesome/”fierce” with short hair.

    :) anticipating this drama!

    certainly hope this look isn’t staying!
    she looks way better in long hair, and much cuter too ^^

    But I guess it doesn’t look horrible… just don’t really like it.
    But obviously still lookin better than Yoon Ju.

    Omo. I almost forgot about this news after seeing the spoilers today. Daebak!

    KTH still look good in this hair style but hair color too dark , can it be lighter ? I hope plot in this drama more logical , believable and hilarious . I can not wait to see two handsome guys , HY and Prof living under the same roof , much be funny .

    I think Yoo Jun is a fan of Secret Garden that’s why she wants all the girls to follow Gil Ra Im’s cropped top. She’s not a fan of Mary Stayed Out All Night, too bad ;-)

      And speaking of manes, can we have the diplomat and d prof with long curly locks now that d girls are in chopped tresses ? hehe…Oppsss, did I hear all the groans? hahaha! it seems there can be only one Mugyul in kdramaland…

      • 58.1.1 YY

        one word….EEEEEEEEEEK!

        • 58.1.1.1 samgetang

          hehehe!

      • 58.1.2 YY

        Do you think grandpa should have a new hair makeover? Hmm….

        • 58.1.2.1 samgetang

          i want to see grampa rockin’ it with the mane attraction…but im only thinking about you: are u up for it? hehe

          • 58.1.2.1.1 YY

          • 58.1.2.1.2 samgetang

            loverly cane with loverly locks, hahaha!

  9. 59 YY

    Guys did you see the latest spoiler pics? HE KISSED HER! aaarghhhhhhhh

    • 59.1 Vision

      Yes! The kiss scene looks good!!! Can’t wait for tonight and tomorrow … and then another week of torture after that …. before it airs again. Sigh.

      • 59.1.1 YY

        I hope it’s not a dream kiss…but I think it’s real…can’t waitttt so excited he doesn’t want her to remember the kiss so it’s going to be a secret kiss on his part….like give in to his emotions for that moment, then go back to duty and fish face after that. Crap.

    • 59.2 samgetang

      what? kiss already? arghhhh! ;-)

  10. 60 asianromance

    maybe the short hair is just in Seol’s imagination???

    • 60.1 JD

      PLEASE. I welcome this wholeheartedly.

    • 60.2 YY

      Funny!

    • 60.3 izzie

      or her nightmare?

  11. 61 tinpra

    I don’t mind the cut. What I really like is her hair darker. The auburn-y brown just doesn’t do it for me.

  12. 62 nia

    really fresh face

    • 62.1 YY

      as opposed to fish face

      • 62.1.1 JD

        I think insulting the character Yoonju is okay, but bashing her physical characteristics is also bashing the real life actress :(

        • 62.1.1.1 YY

          Not bashing her personally, just commenting on her frozen face ala frozen fish….so still and cold.

          • 62.1.1.1.1 blubell

            I think the actress playing Yoon Ju is pretty but they deliberately made her look unattractive with that hair and those clothes and that posture. all part of her character…a cold, repressed, unhappy woman. The frozen face expressions are all part of the character she plays here.

          • 62.1.1.1.2 YY

            Yeah, agree….cos there has to be a contrast between the princess and her….the gentle and warm princess with soft wavy locks, the bitter and cold yoon ju with the hard rigid hairdo. They obviously want us to love the princess and hate the other girl.

  13. 63 peony

    i think she looks lovely either way (duh since i’m pretty sure KTH could shave her head and still be pretty)
    the shorter hair makes her look more mature though, with less of a collegiate air.
    that said, longer hair is still better!!!

  14. 64 nicole

    there’s a kissing scene already, pics are spread..

  15. 65 onyxx

    frankly, i don’t think too much of this look. let’s hope this will just turn out to be a short-lived thing

  16. 66 thinkingyou

    1000000….pretty

  17. 67 thinkingyou

    kim tae hee like an angel falls down to the earth and like a goddess so………………………beautiful

  18. 68 tori

    i like taehee better with pigtails. :)

  19. 69 mandak

    i hate oh yoon joo..oh gosh, i think she’s stupid that she thought that having a same hairstyle with LS will make her looks more beautiful..no way man, OYJ looks like a nanny and yes like a fox with a sharp face..lol

  20. 70 crazyunnie

    Hahaha. Yoon Ju looks like Taesun from Secret Garden in the first pic!
    Hilarious. ^^
    (Was that an insult to him? 0.o)

  21. 71 Jasmin

    I love Kim Tae Hee, she’s so beautiful whether her hair is long or short. But why do they still have to change her hair like that in the drama…. :( bring it back! come on!

  22. 72 Quel

    MP, fighting!

  23. 73 esther

    mind me, i think she looks stunning with short hair (well she looks stunning in anything anyways…) but making her into a second yoon-ju seriously disgusts me.

  24. 74 lily

    i dont like her like that …

  25. 75 Galaay

    Although KTH is beautiful in any hair, but I still prefer long hair. EP 7 is so hot & romantic!

  26. 76 kdlover

    I dont like her short hair..i prefer her wavy long hair!!

  27. 77 iie ae

    kim tae hee is beautiful here..
    park ye jin hair is look bad for her but still i really love her in family outing..
    she is beautiful without make-up seriously..

  28. 78 Lilian

    wah…when I first saw her in this hairstyle I was shocked. It doesn’t suit her definitely….maybe later on when she is older, it might be right. But not now…..

    still Kim Tae Hee is definitely one of the prettiest Korean actresses around. another one imho would be Song Hae Gyo!
