Friday Pictures: Bae Yong Joon

[alexandral]

Lovely Friday!!!!! And it is even Friday the 13! I am not at all superstitious, but it just feels like some sort of a holiday. :D

My brain is tired from the first week back at work and this is clearly THE time to post pictures of Koren hunk Bae Yong Joon, a star of Korean adaptation of "Dangerous Liaisons", Untold scandal and also Korean dramas "Winter Sonata" and Hotelier



Credits: Most of the pictures are from soompi, user liezle and made by Singapourean photographer Lezlie Kee.

Gorgeous pics, my dear. I don't know who he is but I like the pics very much. I especially enjoy how androgynous they come across to me.

I wanted to point out something in regards to your layout that you may want to consider. If the page breaking in IE can't be fixed, you may want to swap your sidebar and put it on the left, because it may make the page break look a little less disjointed.

I am so glad you like the pictures! I think they are quite interesting artistically. I first saw Bae Yong Joon three years ago in a critically acclaimed film "Untold scandal" (really exquisite). I remember reading an article about this film and it had some information about Bae Yong Joon. He was said to be "a star of Korean dramas". "KOREAN DRAMAS? I never have heard about them", I thought! HE-HE! The film is gorgeous! I don't know if you like "dangerous Liasons".. This is one of my favorite stories of all times.

I moved the sidebar to the left; it looks a little "fresh and different". :D I also increased the size and this seems to work for majority of screencapping posts. But I must look on FS comm.. If this isn't fixable, I will have to let this layout go.

Some of these (the black and white ones) literally made me make incoherent gibbering noises at the computer. GUUUH. All of a sudden, Hotelier moved way higher on my list of soon-to-watch dramas.

Is it OK if I link to this on my LJ?

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEEE! Link away!!

It took some fast forwarding to finish "Hotelier" , but Bae Yong Joon as some kind of Richard Gere in "Pretty woman" and spunky hotelier girl were GREAT. Their kiss (the one you posted before) is SCORCHING!!! And so was secondary OTP with lovely Song Hye Gyo!

Pretty pictures!! I have no idea how he just pulled off girlie hair. *amazed* :P He's my mom's favorite actor. She watched everything of his and i think she saw Hotelier four times, lol. ^^ I haven't seen anything of his yet other than the little sneak peaks when my mom is watching. I think I have April Snow on my HD but it's pretty depressing so I haven't seen it yet. Have you seen it?

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I think he grown his hair for some film. I am not usually a fan of long hair in men, but doesn't he look good in this pictures? He is great in "Hotelier", even though this drama was a little too long for me. (But happy endings on all sides!!!)

I haven't seen "April Snow" yet. I watched some of "Winter Sonata", but it was too slow for me.

[allbloomedout.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I miss Rui!!

I'm not much of fan of long hair for men either but he looks very good in those pictures. :) Yeah, I remember Hotelier was a happy ending and one reasons I'm not watching is too long. :P

Winter Sonata is such a popular drama but seems semi-boring. I still haven't gotten the urge to watch it yet. Guess I'm just one of those 10 people that haven't seen it. :P

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am going to watch "Winter Sonata" one day. :D I spoiled myself for the ending and it is good. It is like slower version of "The Winter Queen" with the good ending.

[allbloomedout.livejournal.com]

Aww, icon love! I miss Goong!! :(

Maybe I'll watch it one day too. It's really hard to watch old dramas when there's bunch of new dramas. I feel like I'll never catch up at this rate, lol. ^^ I'm glad the ending is good. I hope it's not too slow. I don't mind slow paced too much unless they drag.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

There are quite many things going on in "Hotelier" and the whole mood is happy! Bae Yong Joon does do a fair bit of pining, but I looooove it. But you MUST watch Mawang, it is great!

[allbloomedout.livejournal.com]

I will give Hotelier a try sometime! I'm sure my mom still has it stored somewhere.

I will watch Manwang this weekend! That's my super plan. :) The subs for ep4 is out!:http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/download.php?id=19339

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Please let me know what you think!! Jo Ji Hoon is so fabulous there and it has a very interesting story..

[allbloomedout.livejournal.com]

I will definitely let you know! Not enough people (i'm not sure I even see n a blog about Manwang actually) are talking about it. I've read the ratings are pretty low and some are concerned it may be dropped. I'm not sure though. :/ I don't think they will drop it since from what I remember Goong S ratings were pretty low and they still finished it.

You're welcome! :D

I think they usually film dramas ahead. "Mawang" is quite different from the other dramas, it reminds me of Western supernatural shows.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

And EEEEEEE! Thank you for letting me know about subtitles!

[partypaprika.livejournal.com]

....oh my god. I think I might have a heart attack right now. Those pictures are simply amazing. At first I was kind of taken aback by his hairstyle, but after the third picture I was gone. And those tuxedo pictures...I can't even find the words to describe it. Now I must go dl Untold Scandal and Hotelier!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

He is insanely gorgeous! Everything I am not usually going for (long hair, glasses, etc.. ) but the whole combination is fantastic!

I loved "Untold Scandal" to pieces! Really beautiful!

[miss-dian.livejournal.com]

Eeeee! These pics are gorgeous. He's very handsome. I still prefer Rain, but BYJ is also hawt :D

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

No one is as good as Rain. :D Even with present hair-cut!!

[juljul9.livejournal.com]

i saw him with long hair at the Japanese Hotelier website so I guess he's going to guest star in it huh?

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I have heard that this re-make is taking place. Ithink it could be made into excellent drama if the speed was a little faster!

[carviangli.livejournal.com]

Oh kewl! Nice pics but I'm not so sure I like the girly hair look XD Bae Yong Joon is VERY hot...even though he's WAY too old for me:P I should probably get on with Winter Sonata ^_^

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEEEE! I am the opposite: the fact that he is not million years younger then me (as most of the dorama actors) is an additional pull. :D

[juukai.livejournal.com]

*random person blinks...and doesn't know what to say*

...That man...well he's a hottie. That body...*starts drooling and fanning self liks a nutty fangirl*

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEE! SO glad you like the photographs!! I am surprised that he is so fit.. ** ogles some more ** I probably should attempt "Winter Sonata" again!!
