Have you guys seen this yet? I have. TWICE. In a row. Yeah, it’s THAT good. Watch it! :)

“Shanghai is a city that is always changing.Why should the people that come to Shanghai be any different? You may learn to become a far more humble person. Become the person you always dreamed of being. Realize you have been chasing the wrong dream for too long. Or you may find that the trip you never wanted to take has become the most rewarding journey of all.” – Awesome Wang

*You’ll know who this ‘Awesome Wang’ is when you watch the movie!*

Last weekend, I finally watched Daniel Henney’s romantic-comedy movie that was out last summer. The trailer looked good and hey, it’s Daniel Henney for pete’s sake, so I gotta watch it. Little did I know, at the end of the movie, I feel like rewatching it all over again. So… to this date, I’ve watched the movie 4 times already :) So, if you’re a fan of Daniel Henney, and chick-flicks, or you just want to watch something light and funny, this one is definitely a must-watch!

Just a brief synopsis on the movie:  Sam Chao (Daniel Henney) is a young, handsome, successful lawyer who lives in New York city. He works hard to earn partner at his firm, Powell & Davies. After winning big on his last case, he was hoping to become partner at P&D before he’s turning 30.  Alas, his bosses had another (detour) plan for him and asked Sam to move to China for 3 months.  ”Shanghai Calling” tells a story of how Sam deals with his expat life in China, the country far from home, and his obstacles at work to earn his keep & to be successful at what he does. What happened when things go south at work and he needs to choose between doing what’s right vs. being fired? Watch “Shanghai Calling” with your bffs over the weekend and let me know how you like it! :)

Here’s the trailer & couple pictures~

Daniel Henney & his co-star/love interest, Eliza Coupe

Huh? Here’s a couple in the making… or, rumored to be in a relationship. What do you guys think? Yay or nay?

Both representatives of Lee Honey and Yoon Kye Sang claim that the two of them are developing ‘good feelings’ for each other, but ask the media not to speculate further. And according to Sports.com, both of them have seen to be going on a date.

Lee Honey’s agency, King Kong Entertainment claims that the two of them met through work, but they’ve met twice at some public events last year. One of them was Busan International Film Festival back in October, and also at a fashion show back in November. They also have mutual friends and got “close naturally”. “They became friends after a separate trip from Bali and they’re currently developing feelings for each other but we ask of people not to create mass speculations.”

Both of them were spotted to be in Bali back in January, but left Bali separately. King Kong Entertainment had claimed before that Lee Honey has no personal relationship with actor Yoon Kye Sang (huh?), and that she visited Bali to see a friend. (she has a friend in Bali? O_o?)

Congrats to both of them, if they’re really going out! :)
Here are some papparazi’s pictures of them – looks like they went out on a date and even wore matching Nike shoes! :)

They’re back!!! And I love love this song so much! Been listening to it everyday at work ^_^

Remember her Christmas Day movie, The Tower? Have anyone seen it yet? I’m waiting for the movie to come out on DVD….

[Interview] Sohn Ye Jin Says She Loves Her 30s

Sohn Ye Jin, the actress who made many hearts beat with her name alone, has already been in the scene for 14 years.

Time has flown. Her title of ′the nation′s first love′ has also already been taken over by a new figure, miss A′s Suzy. Still, Sohn Ye Jin grew quickly to become a smart fox. Through her many roles, ranging from a first love to a person whose days are numbered, an expert in romance and a hurt widow, she managed to help herself grow and mature.

This time she′s taken on the blockbuster challenge with the film Tower. Enews met with the actress to hear about her transformation and about her life. A slight smile lit up her face and her eyes bent to add to her cuteness. No man would be able to shrug this expression off.

More than anything, she was very laid back. It seemed the skills and the attitude she had picked up after managing to stay alive in the scene, though she was a girl who had just graduated from college, had really become a part of her. She said, “I think I had a hard time in my 20s. Now finally I′ve found my pace. I′m satisfied with my life now.”

She was a good speaker, and she held definite views toward acting.

You must be busy these days. How have you been?

“I took a break for a month or two after finishing my shoots for the film Accomplice. (Laugh) I went on a trip, and had good food and good sleep at home. That′s what makes up a good break for me.”

“The Tower” is a blockbuster movie, which cost more than 10 billion won to produce. Did you feel any pressure as its lead?

“I′ve felt a lot of pressure for my previous films. The burden of having to work with a rookie director, or with juniors, were heavy on me. This time, however, it was different. I had [Sul] Kyung Gu oppa (big brother) and [Kim] Sang Kyung oppa. I would always say, half-joking, that whenever I messed up it was ′because of the director and Kyung Gu oppa′. It felt that comfortable, and fun.”

It′s your first blockbuster; how was it different from your previous pieces?

“First of all, the scale was amazing. A lot of scenes that may look like special effects to the audience were filmed in real life. In the shoots that were to use special effects, however, I felt blind as an actor. Everything happens within the tower, but we′ve never actually seen it. (Laugh) It felt like I had become an ant in a giant mountain.”

I heard it was very hard.

“I had to go into cold water in the early morning just around the time it started to really get cold, around September and October. When we filmed an explosion scene in the water, I had to hold onto a big ball of lead and then break the surface just when the explosion happened. In the underwater explosion scenes, I even lost consciousness once after being swept away with the water. It was really hard, but I guess it means a lot to me because I remember it as a joyful memory rather than a hard one.”

I guess the mood on set was good.

“I was so happy. I don′t remember being so happy filming a movie before. It was like filming a piece for my graduation with friends. My previous films emphasized emotions a lot, so I couldn′t let go of the tense emotions, but since this film is a blockbuster, I could approach the emotions more comfortably.”

Sul Kyung Gu and Kim Sang Kyung said you were like ′a little brother′. That was very unexpected.

“Well, we never really met each other made up beautifully; we didn′t have time to feel fluttery around each other (Laugh). When we were filming we had dirt and soot all over our faces, and as soon as we were done we would go out for a beer. They felt like loyal hyungnims (big brother). Still, I didn′t know I would be called a little brother… the times have certainly changed (Laugh).”

It seems Sohn Ye Jin is never afraid to ruin her image. For this film also you ruined yourself a lot.

“I don′t really care about ruining my image. I did care for my hair, though, in scenes when I had to go above water. I believe you look more beautiful when you act naturally. Sometimes I would look great even with dust dummies all over me (Laugh).”

It′s already been 14 years since your debut. How much have you changed from how you were in the past?

“I′ve changed a lot. I don′t think I would go back to those times even if I get the chance. I didn′t know I was a bad actor back then. I also think I was misunderstood a lot because I entered society as an actor. I was very enthusiastic about my work too, but still I didn′t know what I was working hard for. I′m sad I didn′t get to enjoy it more than anything. I think the pain I experienced back then has made me who I am now, since you never get something for nothing. I think I′ve become more laid back now that I′ve passed age 30 (Laugh).”

You were the icon of first love when you were in your 20s. These days there are a lot of actors who aim to take over that spot.

“Suzy of Architecture 101 was fresh and nice. I′ve noticed, though, that if our first loves were more classical, the first loves now are different. I′m the 1997 generation… so I don′t know what would work now (Laugh). Still, I like how our generation was a mix of analogue emotions and technology.”

You′re often said to have both the looks and the skills. What do you think about your own acting?

“I′m always strict toward my acting. I believe it′s dangerous to believe you′re a good actor. I am, of course, proud of my acting, but I always try to warn myself that I still lack many things. I believe that′s what helps me grow.”

How about your future? Can we look forward to seeing another transformation?

“I′m actually not especially thinking of doing anything at the moment. I spent my 20s on set. It was hard back then, but now that I think of it they′re all precious pieces to me and I feel proud. I do feel, however, that I can′t take on any piece because I feel like I should accept those that are better than my previous ones. I want to be in a love story, but I′ve been in so many good romance films I don′t think I′ll be able to be in any average romance. (Laugh)”
