Worlds within+ Hyun Bin!!!!!!!!!

[alexandral]

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on my friends list who celebrates this holiday! From my heart I must say how thankful I am for all of you!!! ** big hugs **

I had a bit of a cold yesterday so I stayed at home and had a chance to finally start the new drama with Hyun Bin, Worlds Within . I have watched 4 episodes and my impression is very underwhelmed . This is such a pity, I adore both main leads but the drama is not my thing at all. "Worlds Within" is a Korean drama trying to be a Western show, with partner swapping and office love stories and fast dialogues, but the problem is that i am not in Korean dramas for this!! I am in for forbidden eternal love! Also "Worlds Within" doesn't do Western show particular well (as "My Sweet city" did), the story so far is not catching. What a pity!!!!!

Still, I was reminded that Hyin Bin is the prettiest man in Korea and I might just have to finish watching "Worlds Within" so that I can just watch how gorgeous he is.



Friday pictures of Hyun Bin, the prettiest man in Korea





















































Who is pretty even when he palys a mental patient



But who cant smile for the camera to save his life



Also some fashions I disapprove of



PS: "The Painter of the wind" is going to be the death of me.

Yeah, I've read that people as awhole are not very impressed with Worlds Within. Most say it's boring. I've not watched any episodes so I can't really tell but it may not be for me either.

Oh yeah, the boy is good to look at all right. ;P

When a drama has the word 'wind' in it's name, it's a killer? *g* I'm loving KotW so much, it's fast becoming one of my favourites. Unless they manage to botch it up at the end.

I think boring may be the right word! And they totally don't give Hyun Bin any ansgt! He does angst the best (that and pouting).

I love him in "Winter Queen" and "Kim Sam Soon", both are in my favourites list.

I need to catch up on KotW this weekend, it is such an excellent drama but I got too sidetracked into watching "The Painter of the Wind" (I am following it on viikii!).

[timescout.livejournal.com]

Nah, UTW is the angst king of Korea for me. XD He does not pout though.... so you got me there. LOL!

I've got to get my act together and finally start watching Panter. I've been sidetracked with this and that too often, so it's time I got on with it. :)

Oh my gosh! Gorgeous pictures! Thanks so much for posting them :D Hyun Bin is my favorite korean actor, and he's indeed the prettiest. *loffs him*

I also started watching Worlds Whithin, but it hasn't interested me much, though I might watch it just for Hyun Bin. And Painter of the Wind!! This drama is awesome, it's my current obsession.. I just love the paitings, and the relationship between the main characters... and even the relationship of the main character with the courtesan is interesting. <33 Love it.

"Worlds Within" is the biggest disappointment of the season for me! Also Hyun Bin looks like he lost some weight for this drama and I don't particular like his haircut (now - this is serious, right? :D)

"The Painter of the Wind" is fabulous, it is a ground-breaking drama. I want to find other dramas of this director. The stories of the paintings are so interesting - do the paintings look "real" for your eye of a painter yourself?

[amandioka.livejournal.com]

I think the paitings are good illustrations of the life back then and what makes them alive is the ammount of detail (from RL) in it; however what struck me the most is how difficult it really was to paint in that time! Most of the time they painted directly with ink, without sketching first, and that's very very difficult! The lines are very clear, which shows the painter needs a doctor-like steady hand... Just remembering the king's portraid makes me tired, no wonder both of the artists almost fainted.

Is he really considered the prettiest man in Korea? Cause he's not that pretty to me. Nice hair, but that's about it... :/

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

** gasp ** NOOOOOOOOO! I know that beauty in in the eye of the beholder, but look - DIMPLES!!!!!!!!!

[allbloomedout.livejournal.com]

I must say how thankful I am for all of you!!! ** big hugs ** I'm very thankful for you as well! *BIG HUGS BACK* :)

I still haven't checked out Worlds Within since i haven't read anything good about it at all. XD It really is a shame since it is such a lovely cast. :(

EEEE! Such a beautiful picspam! *oogles*

Painter is lovely <3 I'm enjoying it very much and i'm trying to brace myself for the ending. XD

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

** more hugs ** :D

What episode are you on with "The PAinter"? I am getting really anxious - I have seen 17 eps (well, 18 if to count not translated eps) and I can't guess the ending AT ALL. Also you must tell me who are you shipping YB with. :D

[allbloomedout.livejournal.com]

*SQUISHES* :P

I think i'm on 15. How are you on 17 already?! Is there another place to watch it with subs? I can't guess the ending other than it would be sad since the start of the episode 1 hinted at it. :P I'm shipping YB with KHD. :) I can't help it but it's just all so forbidden love which i love to eat up. XD How about you?

[lage-nom-ai.livejournal.com]

Hope you feel better soon! Perhaps more kdrama will kick your cold. :D

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! My cold is kind of getting better - I hope you are having a nice Thansgiving!!!!

I was really excited for Worlds Within, watched the first episode, wasn't hooked but the fact that I wasn't hooked didn't really register so I went back later...and realized that WW is one of the most boring, soulless, dry things I"ve ever seen. It's such a waste of the talent and production :(

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am inclined to agree. This is probably the weakest drama I have seen so far. ** sigh ** I find some of the old dramas rather poor but the dramas made from around 2004 are much more dynamic.

[ambergold.livejournal.com]

Also, Hyum Bin is gorgeous but for some reason doesn't really do it for me. I mean, I admire him in the way we admire all classic, perfect proportions :) but it's in a kind of distant way - he doesn't really do the heart-squeeze-throb thing other actors do. Except maybe when he's a bad boy but he so seldom is - always seems to get cast as the half-hearted-bad-but really good boy(aka Snow Queen).

[ambergold.livejournal.com]

sorry. *Hyun* Bin

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Have you seen "My name is Kim Sam Soon" (one of my most loved favourites)? He is on the bad boy side there. I was surprised to see him so quiet and pondering in "Winter sonata". I still loved it (and it shows that he can act well) but my favourite role of his is in "Kim Sam Soon".

[hiiyaa.livejournal.com]

He didn't appeal to you in SQ?! *gasp*

[miss-dian.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeee! I am back from London and I see this pretty picspam! :) Yay! Thank you! I actually don't mind so much the clothes he's wearing in the lat pic :D I think it's also supposed to match SHK's (cute!) outfit, LOL.

PS: "The Painter of the wind" is going to be the death of me.
Does it get better and better...???

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Oh, i am so sorry but it is her outfit I don't like. The skirt like this only does well for stick-insect thin girls (which she is not) and for anyone else just makes their legs look 50% fatter. Plus she looks as if she is not sure about wearing high heels, looks uncomfortable in them. But it is just me!!

"The PAinter"'s main intrigue picks up after the episode 10. Up to that it was just a good drama but after - oh, I can't stop watching. I really REALLY like the teacher/pupil story here, but I also like that they didn't just go half-way with the courtesan story neither (well, as much as kdrama allows! :D) .

[hiiyaa.livejournal.com]

I-I think I may have to watch Worlds Within afterall. *_______*

Seriously, no one does the scruffy look like him!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

He is not really in his scruffylicious in "Worlds Within", he has this look:



But yep, I agree - scruffy suits him. I want a drama where he is a bad boy and gets into fights . Or something like this. :D

[mishane.livejournal.com]

Is Worlds Within the one with Song Hye Go (or however you say her name)? Because if it is, I didn't hear too many good things about it. Also, didn't they date? I feel like I heard about her dating one of her co-stars and his name sounds familiar in that vein.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't know about their dating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
