Song Hye Gyo recently showed off a sexy bohemian look for “High Cut.”
On February 7, the fashion magazine unveiled several photos from its spread, titled “Winter, Wind, Hye Gyo.” As shown in the photo, the actress looks confident and charismatic, flaunting both her flawless face and body with dramatic makeup and poses. Despite her busy schedule with her upcoming drama, “That Winter, The Wind Blows,” it’s been said that Song Hye Gyo personally took part in coming up with the concept for the pictorial.
During the interview that followed the shoot, Song Hye Gyo talked about her new drama. She started, “When I received the casting offer for ‘That Winter, the Wind Blows, they also sent over the synopsis, which I read and immediately loved it. I especially liked the male character. It was because of screenwriter No Hee Kyung, director Kim Gyu Tae, and the script that I decided to join, even before the male lead was cast. However, when Jo In Sung came on board, it was like the perfect four combination.”
Regarding her junior actresses, Song Hye Gyo revealed, “I personally like Moon Chae Woon. She has her own natural and elegant color. I started watching the drama ‘Nice Guy’ because of Moon Chae Won.”
When asked if she had any plans on appearing in variety or talk shows, she replied, “Honestly, I believe I’ll be able to appeal to others more, but I tend to say everything on my mind. So people around me stop me [from appearing in shows].” Song Hye Gyo continued, “Had my new drama been a rom-com, I would have considered appearing in variety shows, but because of the [melodrama] nature of this drama, I’ll postpone it for next time.”
“That Winter, The Wind Blows” is a melodrama about a man and woman who don’t believe in love. Song Hye Gyo takes on the role of Oh Young, the sole heiress to a giant conglomerate. She lost both her parents and her eyesight, making her extremely self-protecting and lonely. Jo In Sung plays Oh Soo, a playboy and a gambler who lives a meaningless life. He sets his eyes on his next target, Oh Young, to pay off an enormous debt. While he approaches her for money, he ends up falling in love with her. The series also stars Kim Bum and APink’s Jung Eun Ji. “That Winter, The Wind Blows” will premiere on SBS on February 13.

KHJ and Cast Have Withdrawn From CITY CONQUEST!

This news is a bit sad for me. I have been waiting patiently for this drama on which Hyun Joong had already put a lot of work and energy since last year, July if my memory serves me right. All the hardwork will now be wasted. 

Gwenchana! Perhaps this is really not meant for KHJ. Looking for your next project, Hyun Joong-ssi. Fighting!!!!

still waiting for English Translations

[단독] 김현중, '도시정벌' 사실상 하차…주연급 모두 철수

[OSEN=윤가이 기자] 가수 겸 배우 김현중이 드라마 '도시정벌' 하차 수순을 밟고 있다. 



6일 방송가 관계자들에 따르면 김현중은 최근 KBS와 편성 문제로 갈등을 겪은 드라마 '도시정벌'에서 최종 하차를 결정하고 매듭에 한창이다. '도시정벌'은 당초 이번 상반기 KBS 편성을 타진했지만 결국 불발됐다. 이와 관련 제작사 미디어백은 KBS의 편성 불가 결정은 '정치적인 이유에 의한 슈퍼갑(방송사)의 횡포'라고 주장해 논란의 불씨를 당겼다. 이에 KBS는 '콘텐츠의 경쟁력 미달과 과도한 폭력성이 편성 불가의 사유'라는 주장을 내놓고 맞선 바 있다. 

이에 추이를 지켜보던 김현중 측은 결국 드라마 하차를 결심했다. 지난 해 일본 로케에 참여하는 등 일부 분량의 촬영까지 이미 소화하고 편성을 기다렸지만 불발되고 제작사와 방송사 간의 갈등이 심화되면서 더 이상의 스케줄 조정은 힘들다는 입장이다. 

김현중 소속사 키이스트의 한 관계자는 이날 OSEN에 "제작사 측과 하차에 대한 최종 정리 단계를 밟고 있다. 조만간 정리가 끝날 것"이라며 "'도시정벌' 출연을 위해 보류했던 스케줄들을 다시 조정해 당분간은 일본 투어와 월드 투어 등 가수로서의 행보에 박차를 가할 생각이다"고 말했다. 

또 "올 중하반기 중에는 드라마에 출연할 계획이다. 현재 캐스팅 제안이 들어온 여러 작품들을 검토 중이다. 가수로서나 배우로서나 활발한 활동을 예정하고 있으니 기대해 달라"고 덧붙였다. 

김현중과 함께 캐스팅됐던 배우 남궁민과 정유미 측도 제작사와 하차 논의를 진행 중인 가운데 각각 다른 작품에 합류했다. 남궁민은 MBC 새 특별기획드라마 '구암 허준' 출연을 확정했으며 '정유미'는 '내 사랑 나비부인' 후속작인 SBS 새 주말드라마 '원더풀 마마' 출연을 최종 조율 중이다.

[ChunHye couple] YEH' s Interview Revealed Much More Than Expected - Mslee's POV

I hope that before reading this, you already read my previous post, YEH's interview [pls click if haven't].

Before I wrote this POV of mine regarding the said interview, I already shared it @ChunHye thread last night and decided to post it here too.

YEH's interview gave a lot of insights and as a shipper, like you, I can't help but read between the lines. Like everyone here, my mind wonders how she came to this moment of sharing her deepest thoughts for us. It is as if those days after IMY and announcing her PC and then postponing it for awhile, she was really preparing for this and got a lot of thinking, if she is ready to open her self more. And she did based on her interview. Mulling over this for a couple more days since the cancelled PC, I think there really must be a big reason for deciding to openly laid her thoughts [heart talks] out there for us, her fans. YEH warriors kept on saying how she is as a private person, and yet, here, she answered so casually without fear of being misunderstood. I guess, she really wants to be honest to her fans. As true as she can be, so there won't be confusion later on. Because if you are a true fan, you will understand and realize what she is trying to say. Whatever it is.

the following are only some that caught my attention while reading her interview.

[ "Talking about love relationships,I've never had one that worked well.I don't think love is something you can plan. As I was shooting IMY, I really felt that I am lonely. For example, I found myself wanting to share basic daily life conversations. "I've eaten" "I'm about to sleep now" these kind of simple communications.

"I had no idea that in the past I was proceeding along in life in a hectic way. When we were shooting the drama if (Park) YooChun was shooting scenes alone, there would be some resting time and I would feel the loneliness, so instead it is better when I'm busy. I hate the feeling of being lonely when I have the free time. It might be because I'm shooting this kind of drama that I felt this way, but more than that it might be because the feeling of wanting to (fall in) love has come to me," she candidly revealed.

I invited Park YooChun and Yoo SeungHo to go eat together.

 YooChun knew how to take care of things well on his own(laugh). 

More than myself, I think it was really Park YooChun who suffered more physically. It was to the point that I even told my staffs half-jokingly,half-seriously "I know you guys are suffering too but Unnie is really fine, so in front of YooChun's staffs never ever show a hint that you guys are having a hard time".  It was something that I was thankful and apologetic about. ]

All of us here knows that sometimes, big decisions or turning points in our lives usually is because something big happened recently to us. And most likely, it concerns love or falling in love. And it is a fact that no matter how we hide it or be discreet about it, it just slips without us noticing it, like can't help but mention someone's name or smiles while talking about that someone. And most of the times, our eyes kept on looking at that someone, which was what we saw on the MBC videos, captured and a fact. Although the interview is about IMY, still, based on the excerpts translated by @amcosmicf, she talks  more of PYC in a different manner compare to YSH.

and now she wants to learn swimming! There must be lots and lots of opportunities to learn and face her fear [in water] back then, but why now? Perhaps, she wants to try this now even though she is scared, because she knows, someone will protect her.:))

Really, there is no argument if both are attracted to each other or not. Clearly, they are both feeling the attraction, hence the slight flirting, smiles and a bit of touching, which is really normal to two persons who have been in close contact for 3 months because of filming IMY. All of us noticed how electrifying alone their presence on the screen whenever they were together. It's not just pure chemistry, because I watched a lot of K-dramas and even though I see on screen chemistry between lead actors, there's no comparing how PYC and YEH are when together. I only saw that unique chemistry when I watched World's Within. Of course, it was the same with HB and SHK. And look what followed after the drama. They became a couple, though sadly, it also ended.

I am positive about this ship that I joined. Although I doubt if it will be revealed to us sooner the real status of their relationship.

I guess the romantic in me is believing that something magical happened between my OTP that' is why I am not only spazzing but really crossing my fingers for these two amazing couple.



These are gifs shared by the shippers at the thread.
