So Ji-sub and Shin Mina as a jet-setting couple
by girlfriday
Here’s a new series of shots for an ad campaign for Giordano starring Shin Mina (My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho) and So Ji-sub (Only You), looking every bit the celebrity couple making a secret weekend getaway. Apparently they looked so real that netizens flipped out thinking they were really dating (and probably exploded a few heads), but COME ON… Who’s looking at these pictures going, What great picture quality from an iPhone?
The concept of fashion-photographer-as-paparazzi isn’t anything new, but I like this execution because the actors sell it with the stare-down. I guess the pompadour fad isn’t going back to the grave anytime soon, but I have to say, So Ji-sub makes it look casual and undone, if such a thing is possible with that much mousse.
I love these pictures. Or maybe I just want to BE in these pictures, looking like I woke up late for my transcontinental flight because my gorgeous boyfriend had to put two cans of mousse in his hair, but I still just happen to look this way. *flips hair*

SoJiSub my first hearththrob after watching " I'm Sorry I Love You" then he had to go away for Military mandatory service...the void was filled up with Lee Junki....then he had to go too.....cry cry....so I decided enough of that...started falling in love with Jung Il-woo....but alas!!!! Princess' Man Park SHi -Hoo made me go crazy about him!!!! Now what to do>>>>!!!!!!! I hope PARK SHI HOO has already fulfilled his mandatory military obligation? This is all to be blamed towards Korean Global wave whoaaa!!!!! I should have been born Korean???!!!!!!!Maybe I could send request on my next life???? This way won't have to wait for Eng subs......

Omg I love this!!!
Such a huge Fangirl of Shin Mina, I think I've seen almost all her shows/movies. Love her!!! I cant help it( its the actor in me) she's one of my favorite actresses in Kdramaland because not only is she pretty, but can actually act and emote whenever it's needed. Loved her in A Love to Kill with my Oppa Rain.^.^
So Ji-sub what a Hottie and a really good actor.
Oh man I can't wait to be in Korea!!!

Me TOO!!! If there is one person I would want to look like, it would be her. Voluptuous for a Korean, huge eyes, and long legs. lol. AND she can act.

Lovely couple for the Giordano ads. I can see why the netizens were clamouring on the web. I hope there will be a CF to go along with this ad.

yeah, I'd love to have a bf like so ji sub! :D
But even better if I could at least dress like Shin Mina so that if I do end up finding someone like him, I wouldn't feel embarrassed along side him or he wouldnt feel embarrassed of walking next to me. :(
Or even better If I could pull off her look where I just wake up, put a few things together and look good even if my hair is messy and then run to meet my bf and then to the airport. :)

Didn't they pair up before together for some other brand? Those were so pretty and amazing as well. Still, I prefer these pictures way more. It's just so effortless and they make it work and believable without even touching or looking at each other.

He is looking into scripts now... he wants a melodrama
Noooooooooooooooo. Please don't die in the end. Again.
He and Kim Nam Gil has this thing of dying in almost all their dramas/movies. Gah.

Shin Mina could sell a sack of concrete, in my opinion. It's amazing how alive and effortless she looks in pictures...no wonder she's called a CF queen.

So did Jung Woo-sung's character let go of Shin Mina just as So Ji-sub asked him to do? Because So Ji-sub has been in love with her in the ad and I pity the man for his unrequited love.
You guys should watch the ad, I love the bromance between JWS and SJS. (subs are in the description link)
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CH9kF2nc9A&feature=player_embedded
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuGg6B_B0d0&feature=player_embedded
These Giordano campaigns are so addicting and compelling, that sometimes I wish I was in Asia (specifically SK) and shop at Giordano. I'm kind of sad that Jeon Ji-hyun and Jang Dong-gun ended their contract but SJS and Shin Mina are good too.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the new ads, they finally got their vacation together, without the other two guys ^^
I hope there will be a video to accompany this ad campaign.

WAH! I got so excited and only read "a new series" thinking it was a drama & then I clicked and got disappointed when its just "a series of new shots". TT But man, these pictures are beautiful. But I wish they were more closer to each other, they seem so distant. Like just two strangers caught in a picture..

Shin Min Ah is, as always, a sweetheart.

Girlfriday, I heart you for being so freakin' funny!
