Flowers strike back: Moon/Sun edition

javabeans — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:34:27 +0000

girlfriday: Well, this is an idea gone awry.

javabeans: Is…that…who I think it is? Well, that’s embarrassing.

girlfriday: Someone took “flower boy” way too literally. Those pants are just… wow.

javabeans: Look, just because they’re called “flower boys” doesn’t mean you have to represent every part of that etymology, in picture form.

Park Yoo-hwan tries the bad-boy look for High Cut

javabeans — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:37:24 +0000

javabeans: Is this attractive or awkward?

girlfriday: Ha. Um… maybe both?

javabeans: I can’t tell if I find his look discordant because it’s strange on its own, or if that’s because I so strongly associate him with his character from Thousand Day Promise.

girlfriday: Yes, because he’s so squishy and cute, like an adorable little bro, not a rocker boy.

Ji Jin-hee’s playful charm in High Cut

girlfriday — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:11:10 +0000

Damn, some guys just have that old school movie star look about them that blows all the flower boys out of the water. Why is Ji Jin-hee (Take Care of Us Captain, Dong Yi) looking so good? It probably helps that he’s sporting a ruggedly handsome look in the first photo, then switches gears to dorky-hot in the last one, aaaand I’m pretty much toast.

It’s a February wedding for Go Soo

javabeans — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 02:52:57 +0000

Well, there goes one more fantasy, dashed: Go Soo is getting hitched, ladies! Next month, in fact, according to his agency, which released the info today.

His reps at BH Entertainment confirmed that his romance (announced early last year) to a non-celebrity known simply as Ms. Kim would culminate in a wedding ceremony on February 17.

Go Soo and Ms. Kim, 11 years his junior (Go Soo is 33, she is 22), reportedly met in 2010 after being introduced by friends. Apparently the couple has been preparing the wedding for the past several months; the official engagement bows between the bride and groom’s parents were made last year.

Sigh. I know my Go Soo crush wasn’t really real, but sadly a part of me feels like a sad Sayuri in You’re Beautiful, trying to chant “Congratulations!” while holding back tears. Aw. I went a long while without really seeing Go Soo’s appeal — he was pretty, but I didn’t feel a pull from his roles — and it wasn’t until Will It Snow For Christmas that I thought he’d become a good actor. When an actor can rip out your heart with a tortured look in his eye, though, you’re good and hooked.

Oh well. Congratulations (sob!), Go Soo.

Nam Sang-mi in January’s Sure magazine

javabeans — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:30:57 +0000

Nam Sang-mi can be currently seen rocking the retro in the ’60s-’70s-’80s drama Light and Shadow, but she’s back to modern for Sure magazine’s January issue, which is where these photos come from.

Apparently this Sure spread takes a cue from her showbiz-set drama by taking the theme “The show must go on”… which I can’t see anywhere, frankly. These magazine shoots hardly ever really make sense of their supposed concepts, but I don’t know that you can cull “showbiz” from anything in it. It could just as easily have been called “romantic lovely lady” or another of those random string of adjectives the ladymags like to string together haphazardly. (You know: “Classic tousled elegant.” “Funky elegant bohemian.” “Shiny happy people holding hands.”)

Park Shi-hoo for L’Officiel Hommes

javabeans — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:01:07 +0000

Park Shi-hoo picture post! Alert: Abs ahead.

The photo shoot comes from men’s magazine L’Officiel Hommes, which carries an accompanying interview. Among the topics of mention is the fact that Park hasn’t dated in four years: “I’ve been busy working, and it hasn’t been easy to meet someone.”

About his late-blooming fame (relatively speaking), 33-year-old Park said, “I’ve always preferred running over long distances over sprinting. Once I start something, I have to see it to the end.”

Ramyun Shop’s Park Min-woo (Ba-wool) for the Girls

javabeans — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:25:00 +0000

Ba-woooooool-ah! Rookie actor Park Min-woo is probably more recognizable by his Flower Boy Ramyun Shop character than his own name, but let’s see how that changes in the near future. He’s still inexperienced, but if he can translate his boyish charm into more memorable characters, I think he’s got a future.

Thanks to his new visibility, Park Min-woo’s also got spreads in two magazines for January: Vogue Girl and Elle Girl. I much prefer the cute, dimpley look in the above than the “chic, dandy” boy persona he adopts for Elle, but with any luck he’ll be soon appearing in lots of diversely themed spreads.

Yoo Ji-tae and Kim Hyo-jin’s wedding photos

javabeans — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:09:15 +0000

Eee, these may be my favorite wedding photos ever. (Pre-wedding photos, to be specific.) I just love the old-fashioned dress and styling here; vintage wedding photos are my favorite.

Actors Yoo Ji-tae (Oldboy, A Star’s Lover) and Kim Hyo-jin (Mary Stayed Out All Night) have been dating for years and are all set to tie the knot this Friday, at Seoul’s Silla Hotel. The couple recently posed for a wedding-themed photo spread for Bazaar’s November issue, where they rocked a modern look with fashion-forward wedding-wear. I love that this set of photos goes completely in the direction, down to the lighting and the treatment of the image to look old and vintage. Fabulous.
