1st! finally someone speaks with sense :)

goddd, she's so beautiful!!
stuns me every time i look at her..

Yeahh in deed she is soooo beautiful how can a person be soo pretty?? [btw it must lay in the family Lee Wan isn't bat either!!] (*^_^*) Her Beauty is like "if you see a girl on the street (or someone you know) with her beauty then you really hate that person soo much out of jealousy but at the same time you wish you would have her beauty. hehe

But her acting is really..... lets put it in a nice way.... "not so god". But I have to admit that I liked her acting in NINE TAiLED FOX. She wasn't that great but also not that bad!
Hated her acting in LoveStory in Harvard the most. And about her acting the her movies I really don't want even to start.

(I have seen Stairway To Heaven too but I will keep it out because its my fist KOREAN DRAMA and THEE DRAMA that presented me with so much love for kdramas. That I really don't want to find a flaws in the drama even though I KNOW there were some.)

Sometimes her eyeballs look like they are going to pop out.

Well... maybe it is creepy, but DBSK's incident is the only one I can REALLY remember for being so high-profile, so I don't think stuff like that happens too often. But you'd think that at least the food would go through security or something like that? Maybe they do, but it doesn't seem like it.... You can view it two ways I guess: That they don't worry enough and it's dangerous, or that Korean fans are compassionate and the staff trusts the fans.

I have always found it so fascinating how personal the Korean stars are and how much their fans love them... The "network" between each fans, the obsession without "abnormal obsession." The way the stars seems to appreciate the fans so much... despite the fact that sometimes with netizens, you don't even needs tabloids. It's so personal!

I thought her acting improved quite a lot in Fight, maybe not as much as people expect from someone so high-profiled. ("why do we fuss over her so much?" LOL) The movie had other problems unrelated to her, but of course news and netizens always tie everything to the stars. How about some theater, or take smaller roles suitable to her skills?

I haven't seen any of her "acting" but I hear a lot about her good looks. Oh well, to each their own.

She doesn't strike me as attractive at all, maybe it's the vapidness in her eyes. (ouch, maybe that was a bit mean do you think?)

all4movies, yeah that's probably a bit mean (the vapid part) considering she went to Korea's #1 university and has a genius IQ. so she isn't dumb. (i know, being smart doesn't make you a good actor, because i agree she isn't one.)

Actually Lee Soon-jae did not have the interview with her, rather, he was asked by the host about his opinion on Kim Tae-hee. I was bowled over by Lee Soon-jae's directness and thought "finally someone is brave enough to come out and say the words". He certainly has enough weight and knowledge about the craft to make such comments.

One flimsy reason I gave for stars (like Kim Tae-hee and Choi Ji-woo) who are perpetually stuck in the same position throughout the years, is the obsession and praise that fans heaped on them, which might have attributed to their complacency , with regards to their star status and performance.

Both actresses manage to give passable performances if they are paired with strong co-stars (Lee Byung-heon/Kim Rae-won), but how often will they be in such luck? But if I have to rate both actresses in terms of 'craft improvement' over the years, I pick Kim Tae-hee over Choi Ji-woo any time.

IMO,beauty, though preferred, is not necessary in the industry. There are many glamour-less beauty who are doing excellent work. Some of my favorite actresses aren't even beautiful in the conventional sense, but they do great acting.

she's a cf queen who occasionally does acting
imho, the term actress is a bit too much
and i demand the term comeback to be terminated forever from korean media!
one+ month hiatus and its a 'comeback' already?

she's sooooo beautiful. i remember the 1st time i saw her in love story in harvard, i was stunned and i quickly googled her images. hehee.. and yes, she looks smart too but i didn't know she is smart in real.

but yeah, intelligence is not a measurement for acting skills. but if i were to choose brain over acting skills, i choose brain. but it's just me who have nothing to do with filming industry.

Kim Tae Hee most definitely should NOT be so picky as to what drama to star in. It's not like she has a great range and can do anything. Might as well just do a light-hearted romcom like Love Story In Harvard.

But despite her inability to pull off more than 2 facial expressions, she's still one of my favorite k-actresses. Imagine watching a KTH drama right after SHK's one finishes? That's like watching Nine-Tailed Fox right after Full House! Ahh...the good ol' days of watching k-dramas just to stare at pretty actresses :)

yes she is gorgeous! like everyone else, when i first saw her in Love story in harvard, i was hooked on her beauty. okay so i havent seen her in any other movies or dramas but i thought her acting wasnt bad like everyone said. at least her kissing scenes were natural and way better than other ones i saw. people said shes a natural too so thats like a plus plus! i really hope that is true i mean her nose doesnt look unnaturally pointy like most korean actresses do. =) glad to know she has a brain in real life also. im really looking forward to see her in a new drama, i cant get enough of her beauty! hehe oh yeah some pictures cant justify her beauty, u gotta watch her in a drama first then u can judge how she looks hehe

Lee Soon Jae made a good point!! Kim Tae Hee isn't the only one who's been missing in action. I think actors become too choosy after getting awards or a hit movie or drama,...dilemma of having a hit movie or drama is how to surpass the previous one & meet fans' expectations. They forget that Acting isn't about ratings or ticket sales . So while they're looking for the "perfect" role & script, they get into a lot of CFs to be visible so their fans won't forget them but will they still remember how to act after a few years of dilly dallying?

i hope she doesn't go back to acting anytime soon, especially dramas cuz her doing drama means less choice of dramas to watch for me. she's a horrible actor.

i also didn't think her acting was bad! there's something in her eyes though that i find sometimes kinda sharp but overall her beauty is stunning! i liked her in love story in harvard & i hope to see her teamed up again with my other fave actor Kim Rae Won -- good chemistry i must say! you got my support Kim Tae!! Aja aja

I have a question about fans giving gifts to these celebrities-not only korean ones obviously. but do you think these people seriously need them, esp. DBSK etc?? I mean, they have so much money, who couldnt buy a chocolate bar?

@ asianromance : i don't agree with you that " And it always strikes me as odd that so many celebs do commercials while in the US, the commercials are usually left to not well-known or not-known-at-all people- unless it was a pro-active or neutrogena face wash commercial. " --> it's a marketing rules each country has a diferent marketing culture.. korea vs USA offcourse that's totally diferent

KTH , JJH , SHG were critized has a poor acting skill but lots of CF.. yeah that's fair maybe who has good acting skill + lot CF actress is lee nayoung and lee young ae

@all4movies

YAY!!!!!!!! thank yoU!!! i thought i was the only person in the entire world that finds this girl UGLY! (although you didn't say she was ugly..u at least dont find her extremely beautiful)....and YES her eyes are totally weird and vapid is the perfect word to describe them

Its like she cant focus on anything....her eyes are completely devoid of any emotion...they look like glass eyeballs.........

i cant understand for the life of me why ANYONE would want to see her in TV.....she is such a bad actress

people, listen here. i admire miss tae hee for honestly saying she's a weak actress but, this iris show proved her wrong. she was strong, and had great emotional scenes with lbh...wow, when she cried, she goes through the motions that made me cried along with her at her every scene. yes, she's beautiful and her acting is also beautiful....may be she finally woke up and did the best acting job of her life and her pairing with lbh was just a pair made in heaven...they are so good together that i for one just love to watch them together when they are intimate....i just feel all the emotions and when they pour tears, i pour plenty right along with them...wow...you producers of this show chose the right couple to play these main characters and sau...he's so handsomely devilish he's also so good in his acting chops...good job eventho' i hated that you kill my main main.....faye on the island.....
