Yoon Eun Hye - Queen of Romantic Comedies








Actress Yoon Eun Hye has made a successful return as the “Queen of Romantic Comedies”!


The new SBS Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Lie To Me’, which aired its first episode on the 9th, portrayed the confrontational first meetings between an employee of Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, Gong Ah Jung (Yoon Eun Hye), and Hyun Ki Joon (Kang Ji Hwan).

It’s not an overstatement to say that the episode was a “one man show” by Yoon Eun Hye. She appeared in nearly every scene and was the center of it. Yoon Eun Hye’s unique, bursting bubbly charm stood out.

She even portrayed sly and comical acts perfectly. She added life into the scenes by producing realistic performances as she fell in front of a club, and as she talked on the phone while pretending to be a married woman in front of Yoo So Ran (Hong Soo Hyun).

Her stylish fashion also grabbed attention. Yoon Eun Hye displayed a comfortable, yet attractive look by matching a military style jacket with jeans and an apricot color blouse. Her outfit worn later, which was a combination of a fresh white outfit with a blue bag, also grabbed the attention of female viewers.

‘Lie To Me’, which has gained attention as Yoon Eun Hye, Kang Ji Hwan, and Park Ji Yoon’s comeback project, airs every Monday and Tuesday at 9:55 PM.

The Economist: “Hyun Bin Follows Elvis Presley Route”

by: thunderstix 




British magazine The Economist has compared Hyun Bin to the legendary singer Elvis Presley in a recent article titled “Hallyu Elvis and the draft-dodger.” The article discussed how all Korean males are required to serve 21 months in the military, and the sensitivity of some male celebrities or sons of prominent business/political figures finding ways to dodge the mandatory service. The story talked about the recent MC Mong controversy where he was accused of intentionally extracting his teeth in order to avoid the mandatory military service, and how it resulted in the embattled singer losing his fame and every TV spot he had.
However, the story went on to say, “Not all celebrities in MC Mong’s position try to avoid the military. Hallyu star Hyun Bin for example currently serves in the Korean Marines at the Baek Ryung Island, which is in proximity to the Yeon Pyung Island that got attacked by the North Koreans last year.”
And then it went on to say, “In a country increasingly preoccupied with the issue of fairness, Hyun Bin’s preference for the Elvis Presley route to service is likely to go down well.” Elvis Presley was drafted by the U.S. Army and joined the 3rd Armored Division in Germany in 1958 at the height of his fame. Likewise, Hyun Bin joined the Korean Marines earlier this year after appearing in SBS drama “Secret Garden” which basically made him one of the most popular actors in the country.
