The Charm Of Having Shin Hye Sun Playing Major Roles In K-Drama And K-Movies


I admit that it took some time for me to get into K-Dramas and I haven't watched reviewed any K-Movies yet. I do think I might watch her latest project Innocence and maybe try watching The Sound of Flower and Baekdu Mountain starring the rather eccentric Suzy Bae. Now, it's time to focus on Shin Hye Sun. She does remind me of a puppy love I took too seriously and maybe why I fell for that girl who somehow resembles her. I used to find said person really pretty when she wasn't. Then I think about how Hye Sun has been called ugly.

According to Soompi - she showed her rather admirable conduct when she replied this way about people calling her "ugly":

I receive a lot of comments calling me ugly or a nobody. I look up articles about me a couple times a day. I read all the comments one by one too, only because I’m curious about the stories surrounding me. However, I’m now slowly practicing not to take comments to heart.

I'm just reminded of why I probably found a certain someone who looks like her to be pretty. Pretty at the heart is probably the best way to describe it. I don't find Hye Sun to be pretty. She's not even bothered about being called ugly. She's not lashing it out. Instead, she's having a strong character as she doesn't take bad comments to heart.


What she lacks in good looks (and need I say that she is CARDBOARD) - she always makes it up with her good acting and maybe her good character. Somehow, she reminds me of Sayuri Uchida from Chojin Sentai Jetman on the appearance and performance scale. Both have the charm that makes a man fall for her even if they do lack the good looks. Just looking at her humble speeches in receiving her awards made me think of a girl I used to be infatuated with. That girl I was infatuated with (and looks like Hye Sun) also received her cum laude award with much humility. She never bragged about it.

Need I mention that while she bears some resemblance to Philippine politician (and activist) Sarah Elago but the difference is more than just the skin tone. Hye Sun is whiter than Sarah in both complexion and the heart. Not to mention, she also has that smiling disposition which may remind me of why I thought my former crush was that pretty. Hmmm, a good heart goes a long way right? I guess that's how Hye Sun gives off her charm even if she might be considered physically ugly by some people too.

Ever found her role charming in K-Drama and K-Movies?

  1. I wonder what are the "standards for beauty" of those people who called her ugly. Shin Hye-Sun has that charisma, she draws you towards her. Her eyes expresses a lot of things without needing to say a single word.

  2. What Nonsense!!! Shin Hye Sun is the most versatile and beautiful actress.

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

  SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her.  The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

  This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think.  Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
