On the April 4 broadcast of MBC’s Section TV, Lee Da Hae listed Taiwanese actor-singer-producer Jay Chou as an actor she’d like to work with. Asked why she chose him, she explained, “The first thing is personality. I wonder if we’d be a good match.” I’m sure she means that strictly professionally. Duo Mighty Mouth... More »

Kim Sun Ah as Samsoon Anyone’s who’s been watching kdramas for a number of years has probably, at some point, noted the same thing as the following article.

Robbers, aka Con Man, aka Bulhandang (불한당)
by | January 9, 2008 | 38 Comments
Okay, okay, last name switch, I swear. I wouldn’t normally bother to change the translation for a series title as widely known as “Robbers” if I didn’t feel the term(s) misrepresented the actual title. It’s nobody’s fault, of course, since you can’t always be sure what a title refers to until the series airs, and... More »

Hello, frumpy lady
by | December 12, 2007 | 24 Comments
Some early Bulhandang/Robbers pics of Lee Da Hae‘s character “Dallae” in bygone days in her wedding dress. The character loses her husband (judging from the dress, either sometime in the ’70s or in a frump-disco-era time-warp zone), and now lives with her daughter and mother-in-law after her husband dies. I wonder if the title should... More »

Well, you’ve seen the photos, you’ve heard about the song, and maybe you’ve seen the clips of her video. But now you can listen to both versions of the Lee Da Hae rendition (Korean and English) of the song “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” and judge for yourselves. As for me, I wouldn’t say it’s... More »

Lee Da Hae loves rock ‘n’ roll
by | November 11, 2007 | 33 Comments
  Lee Da Hae is expanding her horizons — as a singer. More specifically, a rocker chick. I’d seen these photos when they were first released about a month ago and just assumed they were for a run-of-the-mill photo spread. But apparently, they elicited enough interest from the public to merit a digital single to... More »

I draw the line at rapping

Left, new CF; right, as we know and love her.  One of Korea’s sweethearts and rising actress Lee Da Hae has a new CF for the kimchi refrigerator she’s promoted before. And — egads! — she raps. Normally I wouldn’t even bother commenting on an ad campaign, but such is my dismay. Just the idea... More »
