Actually, Tinkerbell, I heard that it was broadcast in Taiwan first (before Korea). Does that sound right to you?

jinju, Have you heard that BYJ is getting married? I found the rumour posted at Hankering for Yong Joon blog. Read the story below:
rumored october wedding for byj and lny?!
Labels: bof artists surprised??? i was when i read it in the news articles posted on kob and byjgallery tonight.
geez, a wedding in october for yong joon and lee na young? i'm not saying that it's impossible. i like lny [29] and they've worked together in the 2001 music video 'goodbye my love'. she's one of the prettiest and good actresses around. and she's very in demand as an endorser.
anyway, i asked mariko's help to read the article as well and she confirmed what i read. in both articles, one from mydaily and the other one from SPN, it says that there is already a date and hotel reservation for the wedding in October. but lee na young denied it and even said that she doesn't have any plans of getting married soon.
i wonder what yong joon has to say about this? as you know both belong to the same agency, BOF. LNY signed contract with BOF on April 2006. could it be another demolition plan against yong joon. i mean he has been rumored to lee ji ah another BOF artist and when they cannot prove the relationship he is now rumored to lee na young? hmm...what gives?
last i heard, lny was dating jang dong gun. how true? don't have any idea but i read that when he was in the US i think last year during Rain's concert she was also seen there.
btw, lny has a new movie with japanese actor odagiri joe the movie's title is ‘Dream’ which is directed by award winning director Kim Ki Duk. (Hankering for Yong Joon)
I think it's a publicity stunt. If it's true, it'll be the best kept secret ever. Nobody knows about this. How could that be? What do you think? Just read it for fun. ;D Guess what? I found new pictures of Crystal Liu (Yeifei-Liu.com). She looks great and beautiful, as always. Here they are: She's so lovely. Hope to see her in a new movie soon. Thank you so much for those dramas. I'll try to catch up with you. I just finished watching the first episode of BV and I like it too. If you can't wait for the subtitles, you can read episode summaries below. They're pretty good.

Hehehe, my relative didn't have a traditional Thai wedding. It's too expensive, so she decided to have a simple wedding reception instead. It's lovely. I'm so happy for them.

Bo, don't hold me to it but I thought it aired in Korea first since it's a MBC drama.

Yah, Tinkerbell, that's why it's so strange. It's just the kooky kinda stuff that MBC would do. (Kidding. Just wondered if anyone else "heard" that.)

Nene, I enjoyed your last post very much. That road into a blank wall is very disturbing. LOL.
I heard that rabbits are easy to raise as pets, and that they are very affectionate and easy to house train to a 'catbox." I guess Tinkerbell is our source for the truth on that. I do know that, contrary to popular belief, you are NEVER supposed to pick them up by the ears. Or cats by the neck. But then, a lot of people shake babies to calm them, not even thinking of the consequences of THAT, so I guess it's a matter of education.

Thank you so much for your advice and important info. Glad to know that rabbits are easy to raise as pets. It must be true because tinkerbell has several of them. Do you have any pets at home? BTW, I've found some more funny animals and signs for you.
Hope you like the signs and pictures I've posted here too. Enjoy and have a nice and relaxing weekend!

jinju, It took me a while to figure out about "Royal Tramp". At first I thought you're talking about a blockbuster movie. I searched the web and to my surprise it's an old Chinese movie starring Stephen Chow. I thought you pulled a prank on me. I don't believe you know Stephen Chow, so I checked it at mysoju and there I found the source of your excitement. I had no idea that "Royal Tramp" is a remake of Duke of Mount Deer. If I knew it's the same drama, I wouldn't waste my time searching, hahaha. Now, I'm excited too. jinju, it's time for you to finish "Shanghai Bund". ;D HUANG XIAO MING
Now, I know why he's bald.
Which one do you prefer? For me, I like both, hehehe. I found a very nice pictures of HXM & Crystal together. They look great.
教主&亦菲(xiaoming and crystal)
I hope they can team up again. They're really cute together. I love them both.
ROYAL TRAMP AKA DUKE OF MOUNT DEER
After winning fans across Asia with his starring turns in The Return of the Condor Heroes and Shanghai Bund, top Mainland actor Huang Xiaoming steps into another classic role in the new period drama Royal Tramp from renowned producer Zhang Jizhong. Based on Jin Yong's timeless novel, this Qing Dynasty drama revolves around the mischievous, amorous, and sometimes dangerous adventures of accidental revolutionary Wei Xiao Bao. Portraying a character previously made famous by Tony Leung Chiu Wai (The Duke of Mount Deer), Dicky Cheung (The Duke of Mount Deer 2000), and Stephen Chow (Royal Tramp), Huang brings his own natural charm to the role of a young man who grows up in the brothels and bumbles his way into the Forbidden City. Torn between his friendship with the temperamental Qing emperor and fiercely upright Ming insurgents, Wei is thrown into many life-threatening predicaments - but still finds time to woo and marry seven wives along the way!
Hong Kong actor Wallace Chung (The Patriotic Knights) co-stars as Emperor Kangxi, while the seven beauties who compete for Wei Xiao Bao's affections are embodied by Hong Kong actress Cherrie Ying (Throw Down) and Mainland starlets Ning Jing, Hu Ke, Xiao Li Fei, Shu Chang, Liu Zi, and He Zhuoyan. Royal Tramp also co-stars Elvis Tsui and Tae. (indozone.net)
DUKE OF MOUNT DEER 2008
EPISODES
I'm up to episode 3 right now. I think the childhood scenes are too long. Can't wait to see HXM in the later episodes. BTW, thank you so much for recommending this great series.

NENE and BOI've never heard that rabbits have fragile backs and spines before. I didn't have any problems with my pets and I never picked them up by the ears BO. Hehe The dwarfs are a bit more delicate but it wouldn't be much different than a kitten. The brown rabbit weighed 15 lbs., some breeds can weigh 23 lbs.! That's a lot of rabbit.I kept my rabbits outside and if they ever came inside, I didn't let them out of the kitchen. I've heard about people claiming to be able to litter box train them, but I don't see how that works. A rabbit will hop along and leave little deposits without any effort. They don't have the same instincts as cats. I wouldn't want to walk in any surprises. I really loved your funny signs and cool pix! I found some more.

Park Eun Hye Miscarriage After 4 months of Pregnancy
Actress Park Eun Hye, cried for days knowing of her miscarriage after 4 months of pregnancy. Park Eun Hye married her 4 years older businessman husband in April this year and became pregnant soon after marriage. During that time, the thought of giving up her actress career even crossed her mind as she wanted to concentrate fully on bringing up her child. However during an examination last month, Park Eun Hye was shocked after knowing about her miscarriage. This unexpected blow made Park Eun Hye cried for days.
A good friend of Park Eun Hye said, “The reason why Park Eun Hye is so upset is because she sees herself as being responsible for the miscarriage. Park Eun Hye said that the doctor in-charge told her to announce her pregnancy only after her condition has stabilised but news of her pregnancy was reported on major newspaper days after. Park Eun Hye thinks that her miscarriage is a result of not heeding the doctor’s advice”.
Park Eun Hye has already walked out of this incident under the encouragement of her husband and family. She will attend the coming Pusan International Film Festival on the 3rd of October.

Lee Ji Ah is NG Queen
Korean’s first ever music-themed drama, “Beethoven Virus“, is currently leading the pack with a TV rating of 16.8%. MBC’s “Section TV” program broadcast on the 26th, shows what is behind the scene of this popular television drama.
Lee Ji Ah plays the role of a violinist, Du Ru Mi, in MBC “Beethoven Virus”. Although she performed some beautiful and enchanting music in the show, Lee Ji Ah is crowned the title of “NG Queen” by her partner Jang Geun Suk. In response to this, Lee Ji Ah expressed, “It is really very tough to play a violin, even if it means just imitation. Everytime I begin filming, I will question myself why I chose to play this role in the first place. It is too late to regret now though (laughs)”. However during the Section TV show, what we saw is Lee Ji Ah dropping her tears uncontrollably after shooting. Viewers are touched as they witnessed Lee Ji Ah totally immersed into her role.
Kim Myung Min who plays the role of a maestro is an experienced actor known for his acting skill. However, Kim Myung Min experienced the same problem as Lee Ji Ah as well. He is totally drained everytime after filming a conducting scene. Kim Myung Min expressed, “The Music Director Seo Hee Tae always tries his best to help me and I am also practicing day and night. However, there is still a long way to go”. Despite the challenge, Kim Myung Min couldn’t hide his love for his character. From the facial expressions to the body language, Kim Myung Min looks much like a authentic maestro. His unique hairstyle is the result of his research on foreign musicians prior to the filming.(Hanfever)

BAE YONG JOON MADE A CONTRACT WITH "THE FACE SHOP" AS A MODEL According to one representative from “The Face Shop”, “We have signed a contract with Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon which will be for the duration of 1 year. As for the fees, we have both agreed that it will not be made public.”
They gave their reasons for choosing him, “As a Hallyu star, Bae Yong Joon influence is not to be doubted. He manages his image very well and that is what we are looking for.” Bae Yong Joon will partner the other existing spokesperson, Lee Bo Young for the new CF which will be aired sometime in November.(coolsmurf)

Military fansign anyone?
A military fansigning was held on 27th September in GyeongGiDo Wa Stadium as part of the 60 years commemoration for the army in Korea.
Stars who were present at the fansigning includes Gong Yoo, KangTa, Kim Tae Woo, Cheon Jung Myeong and even So Nyeo Shi Dae…Read more below: He looks much better. I think he lost some weights. This is more like him, still handsome and charming. I hope he'll be released from the military service soon. I miss him. Lee Jun Ki faces law suit and jail
The Seoul Central District Court said Sunday his management agency Mentor Entertainment had filed a suit to demand the actor pay 500 million won ($500,000) in compensation for breaking a contract between the two parties.
In the petition, the agency stated, “The contract signed in May 2004 stipulates the actor belongs to Mentor Entertainment for five years and must work exclusively for the company. But the 26-year-old movie star recently established his own agency in association with his manager.”
The company claimed Lee had stashed more than one billion won.
“He must be banned from working for the self-established company until the contract with Mentor Entertainment expires,” the company added.
Lee immediately refuted the allegation.
“I underwent significant financial damage as the company was poor in dealing with tax affairs and profit distribution,” Lee claimed in a statement. “I notified the company of contract cancellation in February.”
The actor can face jail time of up to 6 months or pay up 500 million won in damages to the previous management.
Lee, born in 1982 in Busan, south Gyeongsang Province, is a popular actor and model. He leaped to stardom by appearing in the epic film, “The King and the Clown” in 2006.
Source: Newsen, mydaily, popseoulI don't know the fact but I'm on Jun Ki's side, hehehe. I hope he'll get out of this mess soon. I feel sorry for him. It's not easy to be an actor. Good luck, Jun Ki!
