Happy birthday, Kang-ah
by | May 10, 2011 | 151 Comments

Well, Kang-ah got to celebrate his birthday onscreen with some birthday soup, so now it’s actor Jo Hyun-jae‘s turn; the 49 Days star celebrated his 31st birthday while on set this past weekend (the day fell on May 9), pictured here with some birthday cake (and co-star Lee Yo-won).

Jo uploaded the above photo to his me2day account (a Korean Twitter-like service) with the simple note: “I’m celebrating this birthday on the set…Thank you for your birthday wishes.”

He also turned around the whole give-me-presents-it’s-my-birthday tradition by gifting the drama’s crew with jackets, pictured below. He said, “I wanted to give our hard-working staff a special present. It’s so great to have a birthday on set, and I’m so thankful to the fans who threw me a birthday party.” (Members from Jo’s fan club sought out the drama filming set to celebrate the occasion.)

I’m not usually one to confuse actors with the characters they play, but I just can’t help it: KANG-AH! Why so adorable?

    (hope I did not post this twice)
    I remember. First drama I saw with JHJ in it was ‘Great hope’. It was his debut drama I think and he was the prince who became the king at the end. That time I thought ‘my god, such a good looking young man!’. And I got interested in him and read about his hard times growing up etc. The main leads in that drama were JangHyuk (ChuNo) and LYW. For LYW, I thought ‘golly, she looks like a stick and acts like a stick!’ (no offense~).
    Since then I watched numerous drama with JYJ or LYW, but my first impression still remains more or less same (though I think LYW acts best in 49 days among all her dramas.).
    JHJ, Congrats! You came a long way baby!
