@ 22 Teehee

An ajusshi is any man who are in their late 20s and older. Yes, you're considered an ajusshi if your 27 or so. Married or single they're still ajusshi. It's a way of saying mister.

correction in my writing the decided shld be 'decide' for them.

I wish it's true because they are complete for each other.

It is her personal issue whom she dates. As long as both of them like each other then age doesn`t matter.

About ratings, whatever the current ratings are EUH`s and small amount of YSH and JIW.

If they really want to increase the ratings then they will link EUH with JIW.

"Sometimes I can understand why these rumors will erupt, but I’ll admit a part of me wonders if this is just a media play to garner interest in the series, whose ratings are dropping little by little with each episode"

OMG Javabean this is the first though I had when I read the title. Reminds me the lame Minho-Hye sun or Kimbum-So Eun issues medias used to sell these couple.

I thing age is not the problem but chemistry and believable soryline. In the VM OMS and YEH had chemistry because of the storyline and the actors/characters had chemistry. Plus OMS is 31 and YEH 23 while VM days.

I personally think it is a marketing ploy. Look how much buzz has generated here and at soompi because of this. I was never aware of a connection between the two off screen untill the strong denials were issued. Which makes me wonder, who was talking about it in the first place. There has been talk about how TY is a better match for HN than DC. But since the reports, we can clearly see how DC has such strong chemistry with HN. Thankyou for the clarification.

i personally think 11 years of age gap is too much but that is just my idea and if YEH likes someone older it is not my place to say it is appropriate or not.
but YEH and YSH? this is really odd and nearly out of nowhere
it looks like noise marketing to me (and i expect that from that production company YEH should stay away from that company in future)
but if it is true let's hope this will add some onscreen chemistry to the drama cuz currently i dont feel any chemistry between YEH and YSH...
remembering how much i was anticapating for this drama... oh well...

NEVERMIND....that's their choice and as long as they're happy fans like me -- haeng bokha! I think they look cute together & this is not the first time someone from a movie or drama fell for each other...that's what you call 'electricity'...something may have spark it could be the sweet kiss from YSH and their hugs who knows? whatever it may be go for it! i love their chemistry and this is my opinion. Who are we to judge? I hope some people here won't go through this same younger girl/older man type of thing then you can answer for yourselves! I rest my case! Hooray for these two people in love or rumor! go for it! We only live once!

Yeah right this is marketing gimmickry- but a bad one.

I have nothing against age difference which for me is not the issue, BUT the appeal of the person vis a vis the "partner". The chemistry you see is the hard put/blended chemistry concocted by the writer & director not a natural chemistry that comes out on screen when the "partners" are truly matched. Just try to recall all the dramas, movies, sitcoms you all had watched and imagine how you follow the series because you "had that feeling" for the couple in the scene. Sometimes you see it in the look they gave each other; or when opposites attracts; or even when they tried to ignore each other. no words need be spoken and you already feel it. this is what chemistry is all about. Not forced togetherness- or the obligatory accidental hug or kiss- or leg breaking- carry back intimacy, yuk yuk yuk. . too predictable. . .

Really when the chemistry between HY and DC is touched. . I can't help but rant as this is truly non-existent. Sorry to DC fans I admit though he is good in QH (though actually in that drama - there's more chemistry between him and his wife) I was rooting for them to reconcile - unfortunately, they are only the second lead so it was kept hanging. That was his groupie- not this genre.

mmm... MFL is not as good as CP (I blame this on the scriptwriter!!!) but I still find it good enough to watch and wait for the next ep(that's tomorrow!!!)...

YSH may not be as hot as Gong Yoo(nosebleed!!), but he has his charms.. and I am liking him more and more... i mean, I still love JIW but I have to face it, he isnt the main lead right now.

So, I was thinking last night (hehe..this particular page kept me awake..how pathetic, i know....lol).....

*How about taking off his mustache huh? one of my housemates (a guy, whom i asked last night if YSH looks old from a guy's perception...he did say yes, "kind of, say, about 33, and in some scenes, he looks tired") said that if his mustache is shaved off, he might look younger........

*how about re-styling his hair a little bit? In most scenes, it looks sooo brown pretty much similar to his current skin tone that he would look all-browned up, like he was overcooked....

* I guess it really depends on one's perception, some like YSH while others dont.... *sigh*
I still think YSH and YEH make a good couple on screen .....

and maybe YEH and YSH got to be close, off screen..., I read somewhere, YSH is easy to get along with, and has quite a sense of humor....

Wow...it is way too much pressure to be popular actor and actress or Idols in Korea.......That's why actors like Jang Dong Gun, Bae Young Joon, Lee Byung Heon, Joo Jin Mo... are still single. And as an older fan...I do wish them all to be happy in personal life and to have a love one and family to come home to.....Age diffence??? where do you draw the line, 10-15 yrs older at 20 is different than when you are 25 or 30...I, myself married a 12 yr older man and we have been happy married for 34yrs. Good actors and actress, single or married still should be able to make good romance drama or movie. If YEH finds her love with an older man...be happy for her..........we stay faithful to our Kdramas.

WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT THEIR AGE GAP!? YEH LIKES OLDER MEN SO WHAT? I dont know whether this rumor is true or a ratings strategy but if they really do like eachother or wanna date eachother, who are we to judge? It's their life, we shouldn't interfere with their private affairs.

And FYI YEH likes older men credit yeh soompi thread http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/5538/20090717090922.jpg

@13, & other numbers who are in favor of these two beautiful people, let's support them true or not!
yes choi chul ho matter of fact in one of the articles i read said that he's married to his wife of 13 yrs his junior & even teased YSH at that time (this was even before I guess he was cast for MFL) that Yoon sang might marry someone who's much (even) younger than his wife! I agree with all the comments supporting these two people but too bad for the others who think that these two got no chemistry at all!
@63 absolutely, what's wrong with their age gap right? If YEH prefers older men yes what's the problem? I agree with you too! As long as they're in love & have trust & respect for each other...bless them & may this be true! They look good together & I think Yoon sang would be a good man for her!
I can't believe that the ratings are slipping each episodes cause it's a good drama, better than CP no offense to CP fans drama, i've seen that one & wasn't too impressed with the story unlike this MFL drama! Let's just give them a break people....it's no criminal to marry someoned older or younger than whoever!

@63 wow thnx for that link to YEH's article. I just read it yes she prefers older men saying 'older is better, he will be able to guide and lead me'....and that's Yoon sang for sure! I was watching Happy Together (this was when YSH was a guest prior to MFL) and he said he still lives with his parents, he got a sister who advised him about his acting but after seeing QoH his sister became a big Taebong fan herself! I think he's a good man for her! I hope & pray this isn't a rumor!

@65, according to YEH and YSH the rumor about them is not true and they both denied it even trying to take legal action against the reporter who fabricated the lies, so I will take their word for it. They just have gotten really close as colleagues. The two felt offended because those lies written by the reporters, had a bad effect on them, cause some antis have been accusing YEH and YSH that they used it as a ratings strategy, when they had nothing to do with the reports, so YEH will be taking legal measures.

I just really hope that this doesn't affect their closeness, friendship and wont make them awkward during intimate scenes.

The only thing that bothers me though are the netizens who think it's such a mortal sin if they were indeed a couple, as if they actually have a say in the actors private choices espescially when it comes to matters of the heart. In my opinion, we have no right to impose who we want for them, it's their life and their choice.

I really feel sorry for YEH. First, original script changed, the pd told her not over do over spoil bitches during the MFL conf., and people blame her for fall in rating, and now the scandal which I don't think is true. I hope she will sue the reporter. I am not Korean but I love their dramas actors and actresses. They do need life too, especiall love...age really not important if you really love someone. I have 2 brothers married young women over 12 yrs of age. I understand YEH said she likes older men because they have more experienced in life. Young men are only for fun dating, seriously if married I choosed mature men, which i did for 25yrs and still happy!!!

@66 thnx for that...yes i hope that it won't affect their relationship on & off camera. nobody really has the right to delve into their personal or private lives & as you said especially when it comes tp the matters of their heart...they entertain us, make us laugh/cry but let's move on & give them the privacy they deserve!! it's sad that those reporters concerned would fabricate something like this and cause pain to these two great actors! It goes to show they (reporters) want their new to sell and I guess that's truly unfair! (It's too bad if it's not true, cause i love to hear they're actually dating). They're both talented, great actors/singers, attractive & all!
@67 I myself know a number of friends who married girls about 9 or 10 years their junior and believe me they're just so happy with their lives compared to the ones who married someone close to or same age range or whatever. To top it all, LOVE has no boundaries and age is one of them!

Miss Yoon should not mind the ratings because before the drama began she did

mentioned that it doesn't bother her if the ratings go down,

so why now she is upset.

Anyway ysh look like a brother when they are on screen.

Not all older can make you happy -

could end up becoming second wife - korean culture - perception !!!.

Isn't YEH dating that singer Kim Joong Kook??!!

@69, I think you are totally misunderstanding. YEH doesn't mind the ratings. She is angry about the reporter who fabricated the story not the ratings.

YSH superb voice and songs must have attracted YEH.......... reel show can sometimes becomes real life. If they are indeed fated to be a couple no one can say otherwise. So let's wish them all the best and hope they can put in their best in their acting careers and in their private life!!....Fighting!!!

If they really dating, so what the problem ?
I hope people who disagree will stop behaving like they wont get older themselves...

Hot guys like Jang Dong Gun, Jung Woo Sung, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Boom Soo etc...is counts as older men too...so when they dating women like SHG, Kim Tae Hee, i can't see any problem with that at all...Same thing with YSH and YEH...

I hope the best for them, if they are really a couple..so be it....
if they are not, i hope they still a good friend who can share everything...

anyway, if woman really thinks about serious relationship / marriage, they will prefer matured man than a boy.....ang gu re ?

i agree with you #73 & other numbers here in support of the Yoons....when lee byung was dating song hye ko was the fuss as intense as this one? Rightfully so again, let's hope ppl here who disagree with these two actors don't encounter similar problem falling in love with someone older than themselves & only then they'd realize how it feels! I think YSH is being singled out here not only cause of his age diff with YEH but since this MFL drama inception, a lot of ppl have been criticizing YSH being teamed up with her cause she's too young for him etc. I know of a scientist friend I'll ask him to develop a special formula for YSH so he can freeze his age to 36 & wait till YEH (who i adore so much among the female K. actresses) is about his age! Let's just support them, i think if YEH's fans love her like I do, you'll be supportive of her regardless of any circumstances unless she became a criminal that's a diff. story! Is it really a crime to fall for a guy like YSH who is about 10 yrs older? We know of a Korean guy who is married happily to his wife of 15 yrs diff. He's 45 and his wife is 30 yrs old! If this is true about them, I'd be happy for them & yes if they're fated to love, then so much the better! I just wish them both happiness in their relationship & career!

Maybe I can understand the reporters observation, lets recall some of those scenes, conversations that we saw too like during the variety show, the first hotel conference and photo shoot, we can see Miss Yoon touching the lead actor quite often maybe that give wrong signal to the working people around them, too much joking around during filming will also create some slander too. He also admitted that during his military days he had a crush on her and he did say that he hate to see girls putting up their leg on the dash board (car) and she replied I did that because I have back problem. Professionalism is the best attitude to stay the safe path.

aww, c'mmon people....why are you guys keep mentioning all those hotties (Jang Dong Gun, Jung Woo Sung, Yoon Sang Hyun, etc) as old men??? they are not even 40 yet. My mom says for men, the real life begins at 40....haha

@76 yeah i don't see any fuss about this age cause they're not even 40 or let alone 50? so if bae yoon joon who i believe was dating a woman younger than him is the whole world gonna collapsed too? gimme a break, why are they attacking yoon sang hyun so much? i love this actor..he's got oozing charm, great acting, good person so what if they fell for each other? i wish 'em the best of everything! it's not even confirmed & ppl are already making a mountain out of a mole!
@ 75 -- did he really say he's had a crush on YEH when he was in the military? wow so - he may get his wishes & am happy for him! this guy seems like a nice guy, funny and am pretty sure compared to some other young men her age, she'll be better off with YSH!

@75 What a wild fantasy for him, she is in her teens if he is in the military.

@75 H didn't say he had a crush on her when he was in the military. He said he has been a fan of hers eversince he ws still in the military. There's difference between "fan" and "crush".

from YSH thread soompi: http://isplus.joins.com/article/article.html?aid=1212702

▶ I was a fan of Yoon Eun Hye during my days in the army

- You are known for having actress-nervosa, how are things between you and Yoon Eun Hye?

"During my military service I became a fan of Yoon Eun Hye-ssi. Eunhye-ssi and the force that she draws in has changed since then, and she gotten even prettier. As soon as I saw Eunhye-ssi my 'illness' must of resurfaced, cos I felt myself getting nervous all over again. But these days, as I see her regularly and we've become close, the Yoon Eun Hye-centric nervosa has been cured. (Laughs) The actress who helped me get cured the quickest was Yoon Eun Hye."

And she wasn't the one who kept on touching him during the press conference, he was touching her. He kept on massaging her shoulders even on the behind the scenes pictures. http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8052/79622155.jpg

When asked by the host what he dislikes about women, he said it drives him crazy when a girl puts up her legs on the dashboard while he is driving. YEH only laughed, because she is one of those girls who do that due to her back problems. So the host said that the aren't very compatible, but YSH quickly said that women with back problems are an exception. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYRNAoub-qs

The rumors about them started because they were so close and spent so much time together during their breaks and also because YSH was made to choose who he thought was prettier between YEH or Moon Chae Won during the press conference. He didn't answer the question directly but he said that he finds YEH very beautiful.

More BTS of their closeness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj85L-Z9-Cc

@78 wild fantasy can stills come true,oh man he will be the lucky one!!oh, but what happen to KJK, Lee Minki, Eli...who else?? I will love to see her with DH, they look so good together, or WonBin Just my fantasy..YSH is also charming and funny...Anyway, she only likes One Man...my 2cents crazy thought.
y.

@79 thnx for your comments & links...i enjoyed reading it -- by the way i tried clicking that link YSH thread soompi & it's in Korean so I'm not sure where i can read it in English pls. Interesting excerpts you shared with us incldg the youtube vids! I can see how YSH wld be easy to get along with & perhaps the two of them are really having fun, what's wrong with that? At least they are not at each others back and not getting along well on the set or off the set! Looks to me that they must be finding that they have a matched likes & dislikes so that's one of the keys in having a good relationship isn't it? That photo of YSH kinda touching her on her shoulders must not be malicious, but friendly. I'm Asian myself & amongst our friends, relatives we're so touching but no malice in there, it's just a part of being warm with each other! To top if all, I wish it's true that they're dating! I like them both & so happy for them if something materialized!
Glad you clarified that YSH was not indicating he's got a crush on her but he was a fan of Eun's while in the military...big or huge difference of course, so people may just have taken those words out of context & it's easy to have things like that blown out of proportion. With his remarks that Eun is very pretty or prettier than their co-star Moon....it's very true anyway, not that Moon isn't pretty but Eun is just prettier!

Well, just like with every Kdrama couple that we see, somehow at the back of our minds, we have this tiny wish that they date in real life.

If they really are not dating, fine. Deal with it.

And if they do, so what?

So what if the two date? What is so damn wrong with that?

It's just unfortunate that they have a drama currently airing...and some desperate cynics feel that this is a mere publicity stunt.

Stop making a big deal out of YSH and YEH. Gee, they're people too.

I think that generally young women and more mature men make a good match. Biologically speaking, women are most attracted to successful men, which a relatively older man is likely to be, and men are most attracted to beautiful women, which younger women are more likely to be, comparatively. Thinking back to my old school days, didn't it seem like the girls were always fawning over the HS boys (in Middle School) and then the unattainable but so prestigious college boys (in HS), while the boys most often had crushes on girls a few grades below their own?

Having said all that, I don't believe these two are dating. I just... don't. XD Their chemistry doesn't strike me as that genuine.

Speaking of personal experience, however, I was really in love with a man 10 years older than me when I was 20 and lived in Korea (where I still live now, at almost 22). Unfortunately, he kept saying the age difference was too great for him even though I personally didn't care. So while 3-5 years of age difference seem to be the norm, much more than that does seem to strike a chord with people -- especially Koreans, in whose culture age is given far greater significance and influence than in Western countries.

there's really nothing wrong when ppl are dating or in love like in their case, younger man older woman older man younger woman as long as they have compatibility what's wrong with that? this is not the first in the history of the world or in the Guinness Book of World Record that we hear about this thing, so pls just leave them be! If we hear actors not getting along well or bickering on the set, we make a fuss, this time these two if it's true they're an item...everybody criticizes them...who are we to judge? let's hope some of you won't fall for an older man someday, then you'll feel how it feels! I agree with #82 they're people too...like you & me!!

i don't understand all these raving comments about YSH's age! what age? he looks yummy to me! 6ft and sexy..he's definitely a hunk!

@85, so agree!!! he looks absolutely delicioussss....

Please allow me to take this opportunity to strongly deny that I am dating:

1) Paris Hilton,

2) The Queen of England,

and

3) The Tooth Fairy.

:P J
