Girlfriday, I love that you mentioned the How old are you question. Funny how in western cultures, it's considered too personal/impolite to utter such a thing, especially to women.

@MsTaboo: I'm pretty sure this drama will come with it's own set of soundtracks :)
But the new soundtrack might be good as well ^^;;

I seriously would never had expected YEH to be on cover of the site with the words "YEH" and "Drama comeback" in one sentence!

True, YEH is talented. She can portrays emotions in this incredible natural way, but at the same time... I really wish she would be in more dramas to get more experience in acting as I get the feeling that she lacks this something that my mind is too foggy to pinpoint.

Still, I'm happy that she's back. And I hope that since her last role, this one will prove to be a major improvement. She's playing an "innocent" role, which I expect her to do well in. But at the same time, I'm looking forward to how she portrays her mannerism and speech as person from China - which will be interesting to see :D

OMG OMG OMGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am totally FREAKING OUT!

I am so happy about this. This sounds very different from what she has done in her past dramas. This sounds like a real challenge for her. It doesn't hurt that it's a big scale drama neither. I hope that this will be another successful drama for her and I can't wait to see if there is chemistry between Park Yong Ha and her. I have the feeling that there will be chemistry between them (Park Yong Ha seemed very happy when she won the Baeksang awards in 2008 --- he was the MC).

I can't wait to watch this and I totally support this drama!

@67 Nhu:

I'm Vietnamese too. There's clearly the similarity between Korean's oppa/noona to our Vietnamese equivalences, even in its use and implication. I am, too, totally perplexed how a girl in a relationship always addresses their partner as a socially higher person. Good thing I'm not dating a younger guy, because I just cannot see myself calling them that way.

Maybe it's an Asian thing, huh? I'm sure they have all these honorifics in Chinese as well?

Sometimes I'm so glad English makes it easier to converse with people in your generation: Just go by first name and you're good. However, I feel really awkward when it comes to talking to a person of an older generation. My friend's parents would introduce themselves by first names only, but it always feels like I should be calling them "uncle A" "miss B" or something. Boy would that sound weird to them!

This morning I read that Goo Hye Sun is inked for a new series and this evening there's news about Yoon Eun Hye. I am officially in heaven and care not one whit about YEH expanding anything. Where she goes, I will follow...

P.S. That is not botox. Her lips are a gift from god! And that picture catches her at her smoldering best. Thanks, god!

While Maggie Cheung remains an actress whose characters I'll always clutch close to my heart and feel it's impossible for any other actress to match up to her, I am happy to hear it'll be YEH playing this character.
I'm imagining her playing someone close to her warm and likable Coffee Prince role, except more ladylike. Yeah, she'll nail it.
