What I Think:
Lee Yo Won – This was the first series that I ever saw her act and I think that her pictures, descriptions and teasers does not give justice to how beautiful she really looks. She is a good actress, she can hold her own along side Kim Min Jung, she has great chemistry with both Joon Jin Moo and Chung Jung Myung especially Chung Jung Myung. I like it better when she pulls her hair up in a bun; she looks prettier and younger that way.
Kim Min Jung – of the 2 girls, I think she was the better actress. I abhor her, it just kills me that she was so selfish, she has the better life and the love Duh-mi’s real father, she has Bin’s friendship, she has Dong-young’s care and yet she still wants more. She was so clingy to Dong-young, grrr. Kim Min Jung was that good, because I absolutely hated her character but the way her character got ditched was just too much though.
Joo Jin Mo – Now where does South Korean show business get these absolutely gorgeous leading men?! He is one heck of a good-looking man! There was one scene in Mokpo islands where he arrived in a helicopter and he got out wearing razor shades, trench coat and just looking oh-so-handsome, then Duh-mi encircling him telling him he is so handsome! I swear he rocked in that scene! But he never got to kiss Lee Yo Won…hmmm.
Chung Jung Myung – he amazes me, he impresses, he moves, he is beyond cool. He was my runaway favorite. He is the latest addition to my top 10 Fave Korean actors! Haha! He looks so handsome, he has a really nice bod, he looks good in his clothes and man he just makes me melt when he starts to smile! That megawatt smile just turns me into mush and makes me weak! Out of the 4 actors, I think he was the best in terms of acting, this was the first time I saw him act and I thought he was impressive; it is a no brainer that he will be part of the Korean wave bandwagon in a few years. He has great chemistry with Duh-mi too! I swear many times have I thought that she should end up with Bin coz he was so good to her and she for him! She changed him! They were sizzling with chemistry! Oh and he looks a lot like Eric Moon too with short hair. J
Scenes to watch out for:
@ Young Kang-hee and her mom stealing food from the military camp
@ The way mom made young Joon-hee swallow the pearl; I hated the mom for making her do those, that scene was difficult.
@ Young Joon-hee’s parents dying when their truck fell off the cliff
@ Ha Ji Won’s cameo role: you got to find her out
@ The 2 young girls stealing food from the camp and when they were caught, they just said, “I love you…” they made me cry
@ Jo JinMo, with his cool shades, getting out of the helicopter and then Duh-mi encircling him telling him he is handsome! I love that scene!!
@ Duh-mi and Dong-young discovering the island together, they look good together
@ Bin taking of his rubber swim gear wearing nothing, you can see his absolutely nice bod!! God! I love Chung Jung Myung!
@ Duh-mi saying “Can I meet someone who is worth giving up my life for?
@ When Joon-hee took back the pearl she pawned and gave it back to Dong-young
@ The way Bin calls Duh-mi “Runaway girl” and she calling him “Smuggler” I swear they got great chemistry together!
@ Bin asking Duh-mi “Just hug me once?” for his birthday and he cried, her gift for him is so funny
@ Bin saying, “I am afraid I would just go on and hug you.”
@ Duh-mi “When did you start to like me?”
Dong-young “When you told me I am handsome, I am weak to compliments”
@ Dong-young forgetting everything and just followed Duh-mi, they talked in a room, she saw he’s still wearing her bullet necklace around his neck and she just hugged him tight
@ The Hong Kong action scenes and Bin not being able to move his arm
@ Mr Han dying
@ The first time Duh-mi calling Dong-young “Oppa”
@ Bin proposing to Duh-mi (“Broken Vow” was actually played in her fashion show)
@ The ending

What I Think:
This movie has so much press release about it but it was last on my must watch list and I don’t know why. This movie is also SHK’s first outing in the movies. I have absolutely no idea about its storyline when I watched this.
I am quite disappointed with this movie, it lacks something I guess, or maybe I am just sick of seeing the lead girl die of some untreatable disease, god SHK looks so sickly here you’ll see. Cha Tae Hyun’s acting here was quite good though but he was not as awesome as his former movies like “My Sassy Girl” he impresses there.
The backgrounds here are scenic and beautiful though, it made up for the loose storyline. Oh and I have an oppa alert here, he plays Kim Hye Seong, one of Su ho’s best friends here, check him out.
Lee Min-su (Jo Han Sun) awakens early in the morning and, leaving the bed that he shares with a young woman, dresses for work. On the way he takes a call from a young woman who's falling in love with him but who he dials off from with a story about leaving the country and being en route to the airport. The girl that he leaves behind in the bed asks why he lied to her. "I didn't", he says, clearly doing so again. As he leaves for the office, a third lie escapes his lips, one in which he asks the woman with whom he's spent the night not to change her phone number so to call her the minute that he returns. Opening the door to go no further than to work, he says goodbye but, this time, he would appear to mean it.
On his way into the city where the games company that he owns with Kyung-min (Seong-guk Choi) has its office, he flirts with the driver of a sports car in the next lane but crashes into the back of the vehicle in front when the lights unexpectedly change. With Kyung-min worrying about the effect that whiplash might have on the value of the company, in spite of it crossing the all-important threshold of ten thousand simultaneous users of their online software, he persuades and drives Min-su to the hospital, unaware that his partner will treat it with none of the seriousness that it deserves. For Min-su, life is no more than a string of opportunities to meet women and to make money. And so it proves once again, with Min-su asking Kyung-min to stop to offer a lift to Han Hye-won (Choi Ji Woo) a lift to the hospital, where, through a coincidence it would appear, they both have appointments.
Parting at the door, Min-su finds that Hye-won has left her mobile phone in the car and through his charm, cockiness and not inconsiderable wealth, as well as her mobile handset, he goes about wooing her. But she's not awfully impressed, telling him that they will not be anything other than friends until he apologises to and earns the forgiveness of every woman that he's ever treated poorly. But in doing so, she keeps a secret from Min-su, one that he may not be able to forgive her for. At least not until they find a love that, at first, escapes them.
A lightly comic romance is, one imagines, a difficult type of film to successfully pull off. Make it too funny early in the film and the audience might refuse to come with the makers as they attempt to add moments of pathos. Make the scenes of heartbreak too plentiful and audiences might wonder if the comedy is entirely suitable. It may well be difficult to truly terrify an audience - note the number of horror films that fail miserably at doing just that - but one can argue that to strike the fine balance between comedy and tragedy is equally demanding, even of the finest filmmakers. As such, there's something of a celebration even if a film only gets some way there, as Richard Curtis did with the sometimes-mawkish Love, Actually but it's something that director Seong-jung Kim has accomplished with ease with Now And Forever.
Without giving much away, the fine comedy of the first third of the film gives away to utter sadness as Now And Forever plays out. Much happens in it that I won't describe here, nor have I described above, as Seong-jung Kim holds something back, only to reveal them during the playing of the film. One, which comes late in Now And Forever, comes out of the blue and is genuinely shocking, leaving the audience questioning whatever conclusions they had previously drawn. Others are more obvious. We know, for example, that from her being a patient at the hospital, Hye-won is not well but the freedom that she enjoys suggests that she is on the mend. Or is she? When she and Min-su enjoy a meal at a restaurant to celebrate her birthday, is she really one year older or does the twinkle in her eyes suggest that this, like so much else, is simply her way of having fun. And how much of what she draws Min-su into is just that, the enjoying of an uncomplicated relationship so long as it lasts.

What I Think:
This was the first movie that I ever saw Jo Han So act and I thought he was really good. This is also my fave Choi Ji Woo movie to date. She looks so pretty here, she looks young wearing jeans, and letting her beautiful hair fall down. This movie will take you on a whirlwind of emotions. The first parts will make you cry in laughter and the latter parts will make you shed a tear or two; but this has got to be the funniest CJW movie I have ever seen.
The 2 leads have great chemistry, and Jo Han So is such a good kisser and he is not a bad singer either! J I like the fact that JHS is really tall because CJW is quite tall. I cannot stand the movies/ series that she did with actors who are shorties or have the same height as she is like Lee Byung Hun, Bae Young Jun and yes she even has almost the same height as Kwon Sang Woo…haha.
Scenes to check out:
@ The intro scene with Min-su in bed with another woman, jeez I thought that was Choi Ji Woo!
@ The double date of Hyeon-Minsu and Sujin-Kyungmin. Kyung min cannot do the magic tricks that Min su does hilarious!
@ When Kyung-min became a movie set extra! He got hit a lot and he was just funny!
@ Hye-won and Min-su playing games together, sleeping together and him staring at her while she was sleeping
@ Their health issues, so ironic, talk about fate.
Having earlier returned to Hong Kong from their vacation, news spread quickly that the two were expecting a baby and thus wed. Arriving back in Hong Kong yesterday morning, Nicholas Tse personally confirmed the secret marriage. He disclosed; "You're right, I have gotten married! Thank you for everyone's concern!"
Rumour has it Nicholas and Cecilia, with the witness of good friend Eason Chan, secretly married earlier in the Philippines. News also surfaced that Nicholas and Cecilia were expecting a baby, and thus wed. Early the other day, Nicholas appeared at the airport and was immediately surrounded by reporters. Sporting a pair of sunglasses, Nic kept his left hand hidden while tracking through the airport hall, with the aid of his assistant. It was seen that his left hand was kept tightly in his pocket, clearly hiding the engagement band. When Nic finally stopped to answer reporter's questions, he suddenly pulled out his left hand, which displayed his wedding ring. In all but a matter of 2 seconds, he lifted his left hand, before once again tucking it away.
During most of the interview, Nicholas chose not to respond. Keeping in good spirits however, Nicholas continued to display his happiness with blissful smiles. When reporters questioned him on the marriage rumour, he selfishly kept his mouth sealed as he smiled. Persistent for answers, the reporters pressed him again, causing Nicholas to finally disclose; "I've seen many of the reports, thank you for all your concern. Yes, I have gotten married. As to the other questions, I don't want to talk too much into it." Lifting his left hand from his pockets for two seconds, he displayed his wedding ring. As for the reports that the marriage resulted from the couple supposedly expecting, Nic expressed that he will not respond. Questions continued to persist as they questioned whether Cecilia was expecting a boy or a girl, as well as her likely due date. To this, Nicholas simply responds; "I won't answer, I won't respond, I will no longer discuss this…" As to whether Deborah Li knows of his marriage, he expressed that she does. Lastly, the reporters made one last request to see the wedding band again. Nicholas rejected with a simple; 'there's no reason to.'
Just the other day, Cha Siu Yan discussed on a radio program that he had run into Patrick Tse, and congratulated him on becoming an in-law and grandpa. To this, Patrick responded selfishly with joyful laughter. When asked whether he had witnessed the marriage, he pointed out that the week before, he was in Shanghai playing golf. When asked if he had only recently known of the marriage, he stated that this is a family matter. As for Nicholas's manager, who appeared on the new town entertainment for an interview; to Nicholas's secret marriage, she expresses that he had told her of his vacation trip, and had a good idea. On whether or not his marriage will have an affect on his career, she expresses that it will not.
Nic Tse Confirms Marriage to Cecilia Cheung
Saturday September 30, 2006Hong Kong
Credits to: Crienglish
Hong Kong pop star Nicholas Tse has confirmed the widely-spreading rumors about his marriage to his movie star girlfriend Cecilia Cheung.
Some Hong Kong media have reported that Nicholas Tse returned Hong Kong from central China's ZhengzhouCity yesterday. When asked if he had married Cecilia, Nic replied that he appreciated their interest in his wife. He also showed the reporters a ring on his third finger.
The couple was reported to be back together after their cooperation in the movie "The Promise."
The immensely popular "Goong – Sassy Princess" is scheduled to begin shooting its sequel in October. However, it was still unclear whether the original leads will continue their performance. On the 15th, when director Hwang Inroe accepted an interview, he finally revealed and confirmed that "Goong II" will have an entirely new cast. The four leads Ju Ji Hoon, Yoon Eun Hye, Kim Jung Hoon and Song Ji Hyo will not participate in the sequel.
Although many fans of "Goong" were filled with anticipation for the confirmation of the four leads, but they will have to be disappointed. Hwang Inroe, who is responsible for the shooting of "Goong II", expressed: "Both Ju Ji Hoon and Song Ji Hyo have decided to do another work. Yoon Eun Hye has another reason, but the three of them have told me that they were unable to film the sequel. Only Kim Jung Hoon has promised to accept it. Therefore "Goong II" will be shown to the viewers with an entirely new cast as well as a different plot." Regarding the fact that he has to prepare four new people to take up these characters, Hwang Inroe could hardly conceal that he feels abandoned.
Hwang Inroe indicated that "Goong II" will continue with the theme of a fictional South Korean monarchy, showing how tradition and the present can co-exist together. The plot will also be tied to the first series. The ending of "Goong" revealed that ultimately Lee Shin and Lee Yul didn't inherit the throne, leading to the temporarily ascension of Shin's sister Hyemyeong. The sequel will thus continue with this plot as the palace discovers the existence of a royal grandson living among commoners. In turns out that he have absolutely no clue about his identity. After he graduated from high school, he works as a delivery boy. He didn't know until the palace invited him to come and he suddenly became a member of the imperial family in one night. Upon his entrance in the palace, he began his training. He will be groomed to become emperor. The inspiration for this plot came from the true story of the Joseon dynasty where a commoner became the emperor.
Currently, the drama team of "Goong II" is building a new scenery nearby Hwaseong, Suwon. They are also diligently trying out different filming angles. After the new leads are confirmed begin October, they will immediately start filming. It wilthen be broadcasted next year in January.
HAPPY 2009!!
