I adore eclectic, fashion-forward Gong Hyo-jin (Pasta), despite never understanding what she’s wearing and why she looks good in it. It’s a mystery of the universe, but I’m guessing it has something to do with her unique gamine charm. She’s the opposite of the tries-too-hard starlet; she looks younger than she is but seems wiser than she should be; in short, she’s effortlessly cool.
But my favorite thing about her is of course her easy, breezy acting style, which is equally effortless and naturalistic. I literally almost fell over when she was cast in last year’s Pasta opposite Lee Seon-kyun, who is my favorite effortless and naturalistic actor. They were, as expected, insanely cute together and so charmingly real. Now if only the story was…a story. Sigh. I think I’ll break out my Biscuit Teacher Star Candy DVDs and relive the heyday of my Gong Hyo-jin love.
And I don’t know what’s going on with these outfits, but that crazy shade of lipstick is my new favorite thing. Except the second I put it on, I’m gonna look like I have clown lips, while Gong Hyo-jin looks like that. No one said life was fair.

RECENTLY RECAPPED
For some reason, I can’t get through Biscuit Teacher… I watched 5-6 eps and stopped. I’ll try and go back at it again.
I also love her hot pink lips.
You and me both. It’s got Hyo Gin and Gong Yoo. Sigh!
I also couldnt get past 5 or 6 episodes.
Dont think I could sit through anymore either, seems outdated and over the top acting and plot wise….
oh but do finish it! really! its a good drama! definitely worth it
Totally agree… it just gets better as the episodes go on!
Must continue on….. Just gets better!you will be rewarded for it!!! Gong yoo was fab in it too!!!
I LOVED Biscuit Teacher… I felt like there was a lot of depth to it that was missing in other dramas. You should really give it another shot.
I agree, the relationships between the characters were really real and touching, not just the main pairing but between Gong Yoo and his dad, Gong Hyo-jin and her parents, her sister, etc. And I loved the class. They were so cute!
Definitely worth watching, you should go back and watch if only for the cute between the two leads – they are so sweet together.
I am watching it now for the first time, after this recommendation. I do like it, but it’s so hard to seriously think Gong Yoo is a high school student. He looks the same age as in Coffee Prince… When he calls her Ahjumma it’s like a farce.
yes! please finish watching it because it’s sooooo good. that high school class was adorable
It was great but very funnnny when Gong Hyo Jin and Gong Yoo both are amazing and crazy couples!! ^__^
She looks wonderful, however, i didn’t like the last pic !!
Oh, you and me both. Her legs are too skinny! Like her though.
I think she in the top 5 k-actresses, she’s such a natural actress. I like her films better than her dramas though.
But I honestly am uncomfortable with the last picture with the pink wrap-dress-curtain – her legs are the size of normal arms; I just can’t find that appealing. The other pics are lovely.
Yeah her leg looks twisted, scary :s
Love the pink lipstick though, but ladies beware this is a Gong Hyo-jin exclusive, it’s not gonna work for you, trust me on this one…
Sigh. You are so right, but I still want…
I still want that lipstick too.
i think it’s “show orchid” lipstick from MAC cosmetics.
it definately could be, but as deep as the color is and as matte as it is, I’d suspect a makeup artist went to town with a base and some pure pigment.
Wow okay what was that??? *points to her leg*
my jaw literally dropped..!
Sooooo..omg.. o.O stick-bamboonie..whatever
My fave korrean actress! I love her so much!!
Oops sorry for the typo..
Yes! She ditched the awful heavy un-flattering bangs! She looks pretty, yet a bit too thin IMO.
I think I’ll break out my Biscuit Teacher Star Candy DVDs and relive the heyday of my Gong Hyo-jin love.
PS ATTENTION : its a Lie..its because of GONG YOO !!!!
She is my favorite actress. Don’t forget the drama Thank You. When I watched the movie Sisters on the Road with Shin Min-Ah and her, I was in heaven between the dimples and the legs. I cannot lie, it was very hard for me to get past the picture with the dog–those legs are absolutely unfair to men!!
me to… i couldn’t finish Biscuit Teacher Star Candy and I happen to be a big fan of both Gong Yoo and Gong Hyo-jin.
i hate not finishing any drama series that i watch but this is one of about 5-7 series that i just couldn’t finish.
i love the pic with the dog though…
Her Legsssss
OMG she looks stunning!
not that i’m surprised, mind you. i love her effortless style. (although, she is looking super thin…even for her!)
I never thought orange and fuschia could go together. But apparently on Gong Hyo-jin, it can….
I love her, she is so cool, talented and just undeniably charming. I have seen nearly all of her dramas and love her each time. She brings a level of realism to the characters she portrays that really makes them come alive. She is just really beautiful.
I saw Biscuit Teacher recently (because of Girlfriday’s praise/recommendations) and I loved it! Gong Yoo is super charming and cute as the lovesick high school student, hehe. Gong Hyo Jin is a great actress and I’ve liked her since watching Thank You.
Cue me dying of envy as well. How is it possible she can rock such crazy clothes without even trying? And you said it, Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy is my go-to drama for when I’m feeling down. She and Gong Yoo were OMGSOCUTE together. xD
I’ve never seen her this gorgeous.
And I also lover her as an actress. I cried buckets over Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy.
two words, she’s HOT
two words, she’s HOT
just have to agree with ya all! i love her and gong yoo so i did love biscuit teacher and i love lee seon kyun so pasta was a fave of mine too! she is so pretty! i love her acting style and smile. the last picture was kind of not too cool for me. don’t care for the bra one either even thou she pulls it off so wel! but girl, eat more biscuits! you are mighty thin yet it does look so good on you!
have to confess that stopped watching pasta mainly for the fact that her fringe irked me to an unbelievable extent . why was the show trying to suppress her beauty ?
last shot is hideous
all else is stellar
i think she’s super cute
I like her hair here. How it looks soft, natural and up-swept but I really know it has been hair-sprayed into submission.
Pasta should have been much better than it was. With such great leads and interesting supporting cast, not to mention food, what went wrong?
It felt like you were in an infinite loop going nowhere.
Only Gong can make an orange bra and what essentially is a pink drape look interesting. She’s still got it.
Hope her next project better uses her talents better.
legs, omg!
her Pasta look is still fresh in my mind, so this shoot is like WHOA!
i just love this lady. so effortlessly cool and likable. she’s beautiful but not in that traditional sense. i first saw her in pasta and had to marathon most of her old dramas to catch up. i think i watched thank you, biscuit teacher, and sang doo all in a week.
she is very thin, but i definitely don’t think she starves herself. some people are just stick thin. i hate it when people tell me to eat more because it’s really impossible for me to gain weight. no matter how much i wish i was 20 lbs heavier.
It would have been perfect…but oh I hate the last pic….it doenst go with the rest….
*jaw drops* OMGGG! She is HOT!
And that fuschia pink lipstick has really brought out her hypnotic eyes. Or were her eyes always that pretty? Just hidden under her bangs and stuff?
*continues swooning over newfound girlcrush… ebays the the most amped up fuschia of shu lipsticks*
Did anyone see her movie where she’s sisters with Shin Mina? I wanted to see that, forgot all about it. Hope I can find it somewhere.
the movie is Sisters on the Road, and can be downloaded at Myasiancinema.com
I have yet to see Pasta and I kind of really want to see it… But I know I should stay away since it’s so early in the semester… Plus I’m already watching Dream High and My Princess. I also want to see City Hall. Ahhh, so many dramas so little time.
What is she wearing?!
forget the lipstick, i want that body!!
Love her! She is such a good actress. Now that I think of it, I always see her paired up with big names like Gong Yoo, Kang Dong Won, etc., same goes to Kim Sun-ah.
I love the bold lip.
Javabeans, you don’t have to go with the fuschia color. I think a milder coral color will do great. For someone who never wears makeup, even I am attracted to the bold lip. Go coral!!
But yes, I agree, she pulls stuff off great!!
OMG! In the second pic – those legs are to die for!
Wow, i don’t know anyone else who could rock that hot pink lipstick like that.
I admire Gong Hyo Jin so much – I enjoy seeing her in that dramas (except Pasta) cuz’ she’s very amazing, of course!
I will be looking forward to her next project sooooner! ^__^
She’s way past overdue taking a new role in kdrama world. She’s an awesome example of a minimalist.
Give me the dress n shoes!!!!!
omy she looks like jeon ji hyun (imo) in the first pic!
Those lips! Those legs!
She looks absolutely gorgeous but does anyone else think that she looks way too skinny? Please eat some more, unni.
I would name her my fav Korean female actress anytime. Love her the most in ‘Thank You’ , she was terrific with a little girl. Pasta. ($&&@$))$??? I loved her but the story, man, two chefs in one kitchen? Damn, I’m on it again.
I adore Gong Hyo Jin.
If anyone wants to see a good drama with her in it, watch Sangdoo-ya Hakkyo Ga Ja (Let’s go to school, Sang-doo). I think it might have been Rain’s first lead role. All the characters are so lovable (at least eventually), especially Gong Hyo Jin, and the story is touching.
I really enjoyed her acting in Ruler of your Own World. That is a great drama.
She ROCKS the lipstick and somehow makes the white suit w/out pants look gooood.
The last picture of her doesn’t look right though–her legs look abnormally skinny. It’s either photoshopped or she needs to be fed more.
