but on the subject of korean male stars, lee jung jae recently caught my attention. i watched the show typhoon on dvd. although the other guy acting as the pirate is more famous and supposedly more handsome, i find lee so full of charisma - i mean he oozes masculine sex appeal without effort. that's really cool! i don't find that kind of appeal in other chinese/jap/korean stars so far. aiyoh, now i shall go hunt for his other great movie called il mare. wonder if he will come up with more movies soon!

Hmmm... I don't know who lee jung jae is. Haven't watched enough K drama to know. ha ha...
i am sure they all perm their hair. out of curiosity i went to check out more on lee jung jae on the net and guess what kind of pictures popped up? him in various floppy, permed hair do. urggh. it really dashed all my good impression of him. movies really can create illusions.and i am disillusioned!! haha.
