An 'irresistible trickster' to meet viewers in 'My Girl'
December 12, 2005

Another "sassy" girl is to meet TV audiences every Wednesday and Thursday nights beginning this week, as director Jun Ki-sang unfolds his jovial imagination in a new SBS drama "My Girl." As a "professional" trickster, this new heroine is promised to be cheekier and sassier than the last.

Through the KBS drama "Sassy Girl Chun-hyang," which ended with overwhelming success in March, director Jun has already proven his talent in producing romantic comedies with a "different" type of heroine.

Director Jun's motto is to produce a drama that he himself can "laugh his head off" while watching.

"It's not like I have an exceptional philosophy about drama-making. I just want people to have a good laugh, and realize in between the laughs that life is actually quite joyful," Jun told reporters in a news conference last week.

In the previous drama, Jun recreated the loyal woman Seong Chun-hyang from a well-known Korean classic "Chung-hyang jeon (Chun-hyang's story), into a headstrong sassy girl, receiving an enthusiastic response from females in their teens and early 20s. This time, the heroine Ju Yu-rin, played by actress Lee Da-hae, is a cheeky con-artist who learns from her troublesome father that ripping people off is the easiest way to make a living.

But meaning no harm by her "little" lies, Yu-rin is an irresistible character who never loses the sense of humor and optimism despite the bitterness of life.

"It seems that all female characters are standardized in TV dramas, and thus, I try to create a new character that viewers have never come across before," said Jun.

As the story unfolds, the lovable con-girl will meet Seol Gong-chan (Lee Dong-wook), a cool-headed businessman who asks her to act as his long-lost sister in order to fulfill his grandfather's last wishes. And Yu-rin slowly finds herself falling for this irritable and annoying man.

Director Jun's talent in romantic comedies has also been recognized overseas.

"Sassy Girl Chun-hyang" became the first drama to sell the remake copyright abroad. Buying the copyright to remake the drama in its own language, China also offered Jun the opportunity to direct the new version.

Aiming for fame throughout Asia, Jun has a solid view toward the current Korean Wave led by the popularity of Korean TV dramas.

"The Korean Wave is an opportunity for us to spread our culture throughout the world, which is actually far more important than selling 1 million cars," Jun said. "But it concerns me that Korea is causing anti-Korea sentiments in the neighboring countries by approaching the phenomenon too commercially."

Jun added that it is a must for Korea to map out solid policies to keep up the wave.

"We are actually getting paid to promote our culture, how good a chance is that? But if we are not careful, the wave will end up as a temporary phenomenon," he said.

Jun also made remarks on the current trend of more dramas being produced under the planning of producing companies. Unlike the past production systems, in which a drama was produced under the influence of three major broadcasters - MBC, KBS and SBS - more dramas are now produced by production companies.

With many companies investing large amounts of money in these production companies, more time and budget is spared for the drama-makers, allowing them to improve the drama's quality to a great extent.

Currently, about 60 percent of dramas are made this way, and "My Girl" is also produced by a major producing company Kallista.

Some experts warn of unexpected risks the new method may cause if the new phenomenon is dominated by only the largest production companies, ruining the diversity of the drama-making market.

But director Jun said that despite the shortcomings, it was a must for more Korean dramas to be made in the new method.

"Due to the tight budget and shooting-schedules, the quality of Korean dramas has not been improving," he said. "It is only a matter of course that more dramas should be produced under better circumstances."

Jun is also known for the ability to find new faces with potential, helping them become known to TV fans through his dramas.

"Yonsama" Bae Yong-joon, who made his debut through Jun's 1994 campus romance series "Greetings of Love," is just one example of talent found by Jun.

"Under the current situation, it is difficult and also wrong to cast only the most popular actors and actresses. I feel some sort of a responsibility to find new faces who will later lead the Korean TV screens, and hope that 'My Girl' will become another opportunity," said Jun.

'Eric's girl' Park Si-yeon makes a leap to acting
December 13, 2005

As the sweetheart of heartthrob actor Moon Jung-hyuk - better known as pop group Shinhwa's handsome rapper Eric - actress Park Si-yeon is widely dubbed "Eric's girl." But the 26-year-old actress now vows to be recognized on her own merits, taking her first leap into acting.

Immediately after Eric's love story was disclosed to the public earlier this year, Park has been at the center of attention. Her glamor and beauty had people taking more interest, but Park said that such fame had caused her great discomfort.

"Behind the full make-up and costume, I am actually a very shy person. I don't enjoy being at the center of attention, especially if it's attention earned from being someone's girlfriend," said Park at last week's news conference for the SBS new drama "My Girl."

Through this new drama which will be aired beginning tomorrow, Park will make her first appearance in a TV drama here, and be given the chance to prove her acting skills to viewers. "Love and career are two separate things. I feel bad about the fact that people do not see me as an actress but only as the girlfriend of a popular celebrity," she said. "But I have realized that getting all worked up over the current situation won't solve any problems, and thus, have been focusing only on developing my acting skills."

With hidden dreams toward acting, Park chose to major in journalism at Long Island University in 1998, thinking that it would help her in learning the TV world better. Striving to an start acting career, Park took auditions for Chinese TV series while attending college, and appeared in three Chinese dramas through small roles.

Park was later given the chance to begin an acting career in Korea, winning in the "Miss Korea" beauty pageant contest in 2000.

Since then, the actress has been slowly preparing herself for the right moment to take up acting, appearing on several TV commercials and music videos.

In the drama "My Girl," Park will play Kim Se-hyeon, a beautiful and talented tennis player who has everything - except for love. Desperate to win the heart of the main character played by actor Lee Dong-wook, Se-hyeon turns vicious and cunning, making the heroine (Lee Da-hae)'s life miserable.

"I am concerned about the fact that I have started off with a big role. It would have been much more relieving if I had started off with a smaller role and gradually built up my acting skills," said Park. "Because Se-hyeon will play an important part in complicating the romance between the hero and the heroine, I have a bigger burden on my shoulders."

Park added that she was all bruises and scars from practicing tennis. Since Se-hyeon is supposed to be a world-renowned tennis player, Park felt that she couldn't fool the viewers unless she played really well.

In the synopsis of the drama, Se-hyeon was described as Korea's Maria Sharapova and Paris Hilton. From that description, Park set up an image of the character inside her head, which she revives during the drama shootings.

Park has been analyzing the character day and night - so thoroughly that she is now having dreams about her.

"Because I am neither a glamorous nor an ambitious person, I have a hard time sympathizing with Se-hyeon," said Park. "But I can see that the woman is in fact a very insecure person when it comes to love. I have been trying my best to understand her with this empathy."

Park said that she would be very happy if people cursed and labeled her an "evil woman" after the drama was aired.

"Since Se-hyeon will do her best to torment the heroine, people hating me would mean that my acting is good, right?" she asked with a smile. "I don't expect things to turn out great from the beginning. I am prepared for criticisms of my acting, which will only make me strive harder for improvement."

[.Lolly-Pop*]

i want to watch this series too, i heard from my friends saying that it was funny. i want to buy this series since it was already out, but too bad, i am currently in a bankrupt [just kidding:)], but i do hope i will be able to see it on tv

[RockPopPrincess]

WOW, I've already saw the website of this drama. Lee Da HAe is really cute. You're right, Pinktiger. I hope this drama will be shown here in Philippines. I really miss Angela Cho (Lee Da Hae's name in Green Rose here in Phil). She's so cute and I like the way she acts in Green Rose and Sweet 18. You Rock, Lee Da Hae!!!

[gloria83]

i saw epi.. one and two already.. it seems like it's gonna be a hit!

really funny and i love the main characters...the guy is gorgeous and they seem really cute together...

i love the way he smiles at her.. like he adores her...

[vicki]

Hi,

As i see that nobody has created a topic about this drama, I do it. It deserves this honour.
Well it is about Ju Yoo-Rin who was a korean guide in an Island (she can speak in chinese, japanese and af course korean). Her father used to borrow money from dealers. So she had to escape from them. One day she met Seol Gong Chan who is actually the heir of a big corporation. knowing her abilities to lie, he asked her to act like his cousin to satisfy his sick granfather. They didn't think that she had to play this role for a long time because they didn't expect that the old man would cure. So contrary to their plan, she kept on playing her role. On the same time,the ex-girlfriend of Seol Gong Chan returned to Korea after winning the championship of tennis. Ju Yoo-Rin also met Seo Jeong-woo, a playboy who was interested in her because of her unclassic side. Well, the drama is about the relationship between these four people.

Seem a good drama.

ADORE this drama so far! Lee Dae Hee and Lee Dong Wook are my new favorite pairing! It's been a while since I've been crazy about a kdrama (last one was My Name is Kim Sam Soon). I can't wait to see LDW fall for LDH!

[wild_berry]

Lee dong Wook look really cool in this serie.
After seeing 3 first eps i really like this serie and still waite for the rest eps.

[duibuqi]

I love this series..eventhough i've only seen the first 3 episodes...it's so funny
....especially on episode 3 when seol gong chan was crying and then Ju Yoo-Rin says that 'isn't the monitor suppose to go beeeeeeppp, if the grandfather was dead' ...and of course all of the times when Ju Yoo-Rin was acting (like when they were at the airport and she pretended to have a baby w/ Gong Chan, who was leaving her) were pretty funny too..

[crispyfly]

I just watched ep 1; I really love this series because it is funny and is liked full house

[Raintje]

this serie sounds like fun, after watching "a love to kill" I think I need something funny to watch. Or I'll be depresed forever

[MingDao20]

aggiesbaby... wOw, i'm so glad to meet up with u here

I've watched Ep. 1 and enjoyed it very much! Goshhh, this drama is hilarious and very entertaining indeed!

Btw, dont think Gong Chan realise Yoo Rin is the girl he encountered in the plane rite? Cant wait to catch up with the rest of the available episodes!

For those who are interested, i've started a thread on Lee Dong Wook
First noticed him in 'Loving You' with Park Yong Ha & Eugene. Like his cool & more mature looking character in 'My Girl'

PS: Happy 2006 in advance to Shirley & everyone in this thread [/color]

The fourth ep is the funnest of all, especially when Yoon-Rin fell in the bathroom and when she sang. It is a pity that he returned with his girl friend in the end of ep. But as a result the following ep will be more interesting.

[aggiesbaby]

[SwtAznStar]

i love this drama, its so funny & cute. i cant wait for the subs to come out.

[queenb*t*ch]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh i love her so much! she's so cute! lol and the main guy's SUPER HOT! lol so kawaiii! this might be better than full house!

My Girl is such a great show. Funny and gets to you emotionally too. You definitely feel for the lead Ju Yoo Rin. My mom and my sis are even addicted too. My mom says she's even buying the dvd when the series is over.

I was hesitating watching this since I haven't really seen any of the leads in other shows except Lee Da Hae in Sweet 18. But after hearing a lot of people mentioning My Girl in other threads at soompi I decided to give it a try. Lee Da Hae as Ju Yoo Rin is so adorable. And Lee Dong Wook as Gong Chan is hot.

[queenb*t*ch]

yeah i love lee dong gook lol i've seen most of his dramas so i'm in LOVE WIT HiM! hehe i can't wait till the subs comes out for eps 5 and 6

[pure2]

lee da hae is super funny with all her over-dramatic expressions and as the show goes on, i find her to be really adorable!! she reminds me alot of Kim Sun Ah, though...certain angles of her looks very much like kim sun ah

the lead actor is really good looking too...but a bit too cool!! the other long hair guy (who happens to look like vanness of F4) has a really cute character too~!! just can't help but really pity him because Yoo-rin likes Gong-chan instead of him.....

just can't help but LMAO every episode.....that ep 3 scene was hilarious....and the one in ep 4 where she fell down in the bathroom!! hahah...i couldn't stop laughing...they are just so cute!!!!

My girl SBS' drama

[Pink Piggie]

[littleb]

I have not been this obsessed with a series since ISWAK! I'm so addicted to My Girl now...waiting for each episode and subs to come out is killing me! Can't WAIT to see ep. 9! LDH's character is so cute! I like her even more than SHK's character in Full House. I know I shouldn't be comparing this drama with Full House but the main girl really reminds me of SHK...I think the two actresses look really similar to each other....maybe I'm the only one who thinks this though.

Something random...but is LDH wearing false eyelashes? Because they do not look real. It doesn't look bad but it's just very noticeble.

[piapples]

woahhh i hope this will be aired here in the Philippines soon! I've never heard of this new series and I'm excited to watch this because Lee Da Hae is my favorite also.....I also like the guy...Is he the one in the Kdrama Loving You ?

[emiko]

yeah it's the guy from Loving You..now back as a lead...and he looks much cuter n hotter in MG
I think this series is underrated by a lots of people simply because they don't know the cast. ^^ I used to be one of those but thank God my friend introduced this series to me it's just getting better and better
