cute. i wish ysh actually did smear the cake on his face

aw that's really cute! i love how the cast seems to have gotten pretty close! :)
and happy birthday!

No Lee Min Ho sighting? Sigh. Well here's still hoping that he'll be Hae-na's secret childhood oppa. ;)

22?! So young! I hope it's a lie, I hope he's older...kekeke (refer to previous entry).

Happy birthday, fellow Virgoan! Virgos rock! :P

aww. that's so cute.

belleza: I was thinking of the same thing! But then again, its not really possible because they don't look alike. Both are cute, good-looking AND talented, we all know that. But hey, who needs logic on this show? (Kidding. I'm not really watching this drama right now, just browsing JB's recaps so I have no right to talk.)

Hmm. If Lee Min Ho can't make it, Kim Bum can be the 'oppa'. But I will keep my fingers crossed for LMH. I want to see him with YEH. And it'll be an instant reunion with MCW and bonding time with JIW.

snikki: Oh yeah, he's a virgo! Same as me. haha! Yeah, virgos are the best! :)

Oh Jung Il-woo, such a darling. I still can't quite wrap my brain around how young he is! (Although the hair they've currently given him is quite awful. Ew.)

I hope he had a great birthday!

Happy Birthday Jung II Woo......I love him so much..I wish he were the leading actor in My Fair Lady......I don't know why i kind of lost interest in this drama since the to be pairing became obvious.......

Aww, Happy Birthday Jung II Woo!

Aw, what a cutie.

At least he's one year older now.

i agree with roselily... i'd much prefer if jung il-woo was a main character. i'd pay much more attention to MFL then(:

the 1st photo is so adorable! all of a sudden he doesnt look like a lawyer at all and is just a 22 yr old celebrating his birthday. actually he could pass for younger..but he's adorable anyway.

HAPPY B_DAY, handsome guy. I love the cast enjoying his celebration. It's really more worth celebrating becuse their drama is doing well in the ratings department.

Random question: is (my) Jae-hee being casted as Hwoarang in the movie Tekken coming out next year?

ooh happy birthday jung il woo!! =D
that's so sweet

haha the first picture of him is SO CUTE... adorable! and I like Yoon Sang-Hyun's expression :]

@ belleza:

I've stared really hard at the pictures we've glimpsed of Hae-Na's childhood oppa, and I swear it's Kim Hyung Joon (i.e. perpetually lovelorn and somnolent Prince Yul). If they did use a picture of KHJ, then it means oppa is not showing up any any future episodes, unless the reason he disappeared from her life is because he was cruelly betrayed by a woman infiltrating his life for her revenge, and he had a full face transplant and is now back as Lee Min Ho (oh, and he had leg lengthening surgery in China hence the added 5 inches or so). Did I just cannibalize the plot of Angel's Temptation with the sweet sweet Bae Soo Bin? Oh well, that ridiculous plot ought to be inserted into every drama to make it all makjong to the extreme!

He's only 22?!? I honestly thought he was older....blah...now I feel old. :-(

adorable!!!

happy birthday jung il-woo :)

Jihwan ...not to be rude..but why are you contradicting yourself? You noticed YEH's hair but you don't even notice her? I'm lost.

@ockoala,

"Did I just cannibalize the plot of Angel’s Temptation with the sweet sweet Bae Soo Bin? "

Oh Bae Soo Biin "Oppa of All Oppas", how I wept for you in Shining Inheritance. Han Hyo Joo's my girl, but she didn't deserve you, your sweet sweet eyes, or your latest ahi tuna drizzled with honey!!

(No offense to Hwan, but BSB's Jun Se was truly the Most Perfect Boyfriend in the World. It's like when he enters the room, an angel gets wings.)

", and he had a full face transplant and is now back as Lee Min Ho (oh, and he had leg lengthening surgery in China hence the added 5 inches or so)."

I'm telling you -- Jung Pyo's mom is one kerazy a$$ beach!!! :D

I don't know -- I'm just obsessed with Lee Min Ho showing up on this show. Then we'll get priceless scenes such as this:

Lee Min Ho: "Hey"
Suk Hyun: "Hey"
Lee Min Ho: "Your pama, not bad."
Suk Hyun: "Are you my father?"
Lee Min Ho: ". . . "

But, yeah, if it were Prince Yul . . .

Hae-na: "OPPA!!!! *hugs*"
Yul: "Hey. I heard about . . . him . . ."
Hae-na: "Let's never talk about . . .him . . again!!!"
Yul: "He said he didn't know what they gave him."
Hae-na: "WAAAA!!!!!!!"

Or if it's Han Kyul . . .

Hae-na: "OPPA!!!!"
Han Kyul: "Who is this chic, oh YEH. I didn't recognize you looking like a girl!"
Hae-na: "Where were you? I was making coffee and you just disappeared!!!"
Han Kyul: "Yeah, about that. I realized something. I dig chics. I really dig chics."
Hae-na: "But I'm a girl. Eun-chan was just a phase, like Lindsey Lohan and her girlfriend."
Han Kyul: "I'm sorry boy-girl-whatever. Ahhh, you there with the crunk-a$$ hair."

Jung Il Woo: "Me? I'm sorry -- the producers thought this new pama would make me Jung Pyo-esque. So redarted. I hate you man."
Lee Min Ho: "Don't hate the playa, hate the game. Pama beaches!!"

@7 Roselily & 10 sl

Yeah i also lost interest watching it too...i just reading recaps from JB. It`s kinda sad that his Tae Yoon didn`t get much development from the writers...

Well anyway...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IL WOO!!! May your career be much much much brighter than now! Saranghae... :)

@ belleza

Let's stop absconding with JIW's birthday comment thread with our wicked, wicked imagination about Bae Soo Bin and Lee Min Ho. JIW needs to be feted for enduring such a vanilla role and being side-swiped with a pama that increases his forehead by 3 inches midway through the series (bait and switch, anyone?). All I can see is shiny, shiny forehead (assistants with oil absorbing powder, get your brushes ready!).

But dang it, your imaginary scenarios above are hella hilarious, you naughty thing!

but didnt she cut her hair in ep 7 of lady castle? she was shakin her hair all in front of butler seo

happpy birthday oppa!!

@ ockoala

Hear, hear!!! :D

Happy Birthday, Cutie!

o.O I'm OLDER than him??? Granted, I'm a 1987-er too, but my birthday's in january. God all of these kpop stars just keep getting younger and younger. *old person grunt*

I wonder if YEH baked the cake [though I doubt it, since there's a cake box under it], she did for Gong Yoo 2 years ago

See, this is the problem with watching My Fair Lady and Return of Iljimae at the same time. The long hair in Return of Iljimae is INFINITELY better than whatever is now happening on top of his head in My Fair Lady. It was fine for the first few eps, what gives??

Oh well! Happy Birthday Jung Il-woo, you little 1987-er! You are sweet and adorable and talented, and I wish you all good things on your special day.

And I will try not to be too depressed that my youngest child is older than you (a 1986-er). :-(

happy birthday to jung il woo!! love the picture of him blowing out his candles!!

happy birthday Jung Il-woo! his hair is really not that...good... i kinda like his Iljimae look : )

@ langdon813

Think Positive :D

Glass half-empty: I'm old enough to be your mother.

Glass half-full: I'm old enough to be your patient, more experienced lover.

@ hjkomo

In honor of your suggestion to my langdon-unni - I propose that JIW, all 22 year fresh years of him, star in a K-drama version of Cougartown, or maybe a re-imaging of Dalja's Spring. Pair him up with a sexy, more experienced lady lover, any which way way, he's totally cougar bait! Meowr.

BTW, I noticed they saddled JIW with the totally frumptastic hairstyle for him after he met with gramps, if this was an attempt to make him seem more professional and mature, I have 2 words "total failure." Only makes him seem like a kid playing dress up, when he was looking fine, dandy and sharp for the entire series up til then.

@hjkomo,

haha! i love that pic of him blowing out his candles!

Nope. I just cannot go there in my mind; not for Jung Il-woo, not even for Kim Bum. I love them both, but in a rumple-your-hair-and-pinch-your-cute-cheeks kind of way.

No, no...all of THOSE feelings are saved for my one and only Lee Min-ki. And I want THAT one to be on Showtime, not Lifetime. Oh yeah. :-)

Happy Birthday...Jung Il Woo

Have s good everything >_<

HAHA LOVE THE FIRST PICTURE!! SO BABY-ISH! WANNA PINCH HIS CHEEKS^-^

LOL! and I was just mentioning on ep. 7 how puffed-up Jung ll Woo's face has become...

lol! yup, that thing on top his head is a failure.... ^-^

Yes, I love him better in ROI with his longer hair and sculpted face.... But, i dont mind if he is adding a few pounds....^-^ still cute...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

@13 pabo ceo reom

There's a Tekken movie? Omo. And Jae Hee will be Hwoarang?

..I really love the way you portray your role in My Fair Lady!!
by the way..Belated Happy B-day!!

HAPPPYYYYYY BBIIRRTTHHDAAAYYYY!!!!!! IL WOO!!!
