I'll say it again.

::Squeal::

I am so EXCITED! Even though I have no clue on who Honey Lee is.

she's so pretty *jealous*

Hmm, interesting. And I mean that in a cool and collected understatement of the month kind of way.

I guess they are going to the PR mattresses for this one, against Triple. Lee Dong Wook... Kim Hyun-joo... Honey Lee and Choi Chul-ho... no shortage of good-looking-ness in this one.

I wonder about the story though. A good story will trump good-looking-ness. But good-looking-ness and a good story = must-see tv. Here's to hoping that they spend time and effort to craft a good story.

weee! honey lee! :D more eye candies! hahaha.

Nothing against her, but am i the only one that's annoyed by her English name?

It's like some of those TVB celebrities that have strange English names like Power or Emotion...

ooh! yay I like her :o) you're totally right about the aura thing javabeans.. i've never seen her act either, but she just seems so likeable.

I think Lee Dong Wook sealed it for me, not so sure about Honey Lee, acting debuts don't tend to go too well anyway.

I heard Tearliner is doing Triple's OST, I think in that department Partner will lose big time.

@8 JiHwan -

No doubt. Lee Dong Wook was pretty solid in My Girl, and while I have not seen In Soon Is Pretty (인순이는 예쁘다), one of our family friends recommends it quite a bit and is a fan of Kim Hyun Joo.

My point wasn't that they aren't talented, but talent / eye-candy aside, it is the story that drives my interest. I am assuming talent and adequate performance.

I find that, for me anyway, the story is what matters. For example, people can have different opinions of whether Sung Yuri did a good enough job against Kang Ji Hwan in Hong Gil Dong, but through 8 episodes or so, I am absolutely enthralled because the story lines are so good - the drama moves at a good clip and it is interesting, fun and totally plot-driven. Sung Yuri might not win any acting awards, but she hasn't deep-sixed the drama, and so I am totally hooked. I guess you could argue that it is Kang Ji Hwan that made Hong Gil Dong as addictive as it is, and maybe that is correct, but if the story lines made no sense or were just stupid, then I doubt I would be watching regardless of KJW or SY.

Okay NOW Partner's starting to look interesting. I like Honey Lee as well, and I also think she is the most stunning Asian woman I have ever seen.

I remember Honey Lee from Miss Universe. I think she got pretty close to winning. She was in the top 10! She is absolutely beautiful! What a great looking cast indeed!

@CeCee - She should of won, she had the highest scores in the swimsuit and night gown compitions. She just messed up during the interview section of the show. I blame it on her English translator.

She is strangely alluring though her look isn't my cup of tea. Not offbeat looking enough and way too happy.

I agree LDW and CCH both have talent. For me I need three things 1) good to great storyline 2) good to great acting 3) good chemistry

This trinity is hard to find anywhere.

wow...she is really pretty :)

this drama could be interesting...

Every time I see "hard, strong (female) character", I read "b-tch". Lol
I haven't seen one that didn't come out like one. Maybe because they're not that good of an actress to pull it off, or that's how all "hard, strong character" acts like. I dunno.

It's funny reading all the different types of lawyers! The naive, the business one, the femme, the never-lost one.... XD

Why can't there just be a "lawyer" XD They all have a special attribute or character about them ^^

I've never seen Honey Lee act either...... but.... I dont mind ^^

I know... I'm again Son Dam Bi who I've never seen act, yet I've never seen Honey Lee act either, and I'm all happy >.<

Hmm Partner is sounding better and better... I don't really know Honey Lee other than the fact that she represented Korea in the Miss Universe(?) Pageant because I watched it with my mom... Haha.

it would be interesting to see how someone who looks so sweet can portray the"femme fatale attorney" role

AAAAH she's so pretty! I am totally jealous ><~!

Wow.

At the risk of sounding shallow (and I am, so it doesn't really matter), but this drama has just gone from "meh-not-really-interested" to "MUST-SEE TV!". Honey Lee is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen and JB has already proven several times that she is a lot more than just a pretty face.

As for her name, I don't really see anything wrong with it. Like what JiHwan said, it's just an anglicized version of her Korean name. I think it sounds apt, and suits her personality well - She's so sweet!

The problem for me now is that there's gonna be eye-candy overload over the next few months with Honey Lee in this drama, Kim So Eun in 'Man Who Can't Get Married", Sung Yuri in 'Swallow the Sun' and Luxury Nose in 'Triple'.

otohge....otohge.

My excitement for this drama just keeps keeps going up and up and UP!
I love Honey Lee! I think she's extremely talented, and very very smart too -- I have a feeling she'll suit her hardline, no-nonsense female attorney character quite well.

i agree with kobe. this drama has turned from "meh" to "MUST-WATCH"...and I already have 7 dramas on the watching list. O.O

But I LOVE kim hyun-joo, thought she was cute in Marrying a millionaire, didn't watch miss kim, brilliant in insoon (though the story in the middle dragged so much but the ending was quite nice), and BEAUTIFUL in BOF.

i'm interested to see honey lee act. i've heard so much about her, it's time to know her.

Gets more interesting. But Triple still excites me more!

@ JiHwan #8

Oh...ok, I guess that does make sense... but I'm still a little bothered by it. Not as much as before...

Wow.... Honey Lee ... Will definitely watch this one .. no doubt .. Thanks for the info, dramabeans.. You're the best ..

I also can't help staring at her. She's way beautiful, the refreshing kind. I think she'll be a good actress because she knows how to project herself. Love her!!!!

kim hyun joo - *drool*

honey lee - *double drool*

acting does matter to me. and i don't know whether honey can act or not. but i can't wait to find out.

does anyone know where the shootings were done? Everything filmed in Korea? thanks!

I watched The Partner from the beginning til the end - and I must say that Honey Lee did really well.

You can see her in the tv korean comedy/drama PASTA...HULU
