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

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.

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?

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.

This is also what I thought - how on earth did they manage to produce all these incredibly detailed paintings without sketching..

The portraits were made with the use of sketching, it seemed. I liked the way they used translucent paper for sketching. The details on the kings portraits were AMAZING. I was so sad that it was destroyed!
