who cares??
do not even know who she is. once is enough, leave the spot for some other interesting news.

I haven't watched Chuno so I don't know what all this brouhaha over her character is about, but I really liked her in My Girl and I've seen her in interviews so I really don't think she (or anyone, really) deserves all the personal criticism she's been getting. I guess I'll just have to watch it for myself to decide. I think netizens tend to latch on to the latest victim because they're just insecure about themselves. Well that's just my two cents, what do I know right? hahaha~ :)

lol...that list is kind of funny.......

Thank you so much for translating this nice little interview!

Also, I really like her handbag.

I always enjoy the "drinking" interviews, you never know what you're going to get. LDH does seem a bit reserved in the interview, but that's probably just her nature, and in light of recent criticism, I can't really blame her. I didn't realize she's only 25 years old, for some reason I was putting her around 28 or 29.

I'm one of the ones who wasn't feeling her Chuno character much, but recent episodes have made me a sing a different tune. I think (hope) by the end of the drama, we'll see exactly what she's capable of.

Thanks JB!

agree with Jihwan..

I don't know enough about her personally to say anything negative (or positive) but that "Because of Un-Nyun" list is kind of funny. But the writers and the director are at fault if you think about it. They created a character that gives people the feeling of putting salt on an open wound, if you get my drift...Her character's really irritating.
But the whole list is quite funny.

the interview mostly seems to mention about her role in chuno and its negative feedbacks. many opinions may be true but I think no need to exaggerate it!
as a whole, the drama rocks as it can be seen on ratings.

I have read several comments on LDH acting not UN faults as above . Anyway
her acting better since epi 10 .

"excessive work done"?
Just admit that you've got "minor" ones done then. *shakes head*
Is it really THAT difficult for a celeb to be honest. If you've had work done, just say so.

HOT

Not quite as enlightening as the other drinking interviews, you don't really get a sense of her personality still. Thanks for translating though, javabeans! ^^

I think I'll stay out of the comment section on Lee Da Hae posts from now on. People irritate.

It's crystal clear from the 2001 photos that she had had work done. Her eyes were a lot smaller then.
But I can believe that the work that she had had done was not excessive, she's prettier now, but she wasn't exactly ugly back then.
The interview is a lil bit....cold, I suppose. Don't feel like I know her any better at all.

That list, the number 6 just cracked me up ^^ : Because of Un-nyun, the Buddhist monk cannot enter nirvana. LOL

So funny, this just made my day :)

if i'm not mistaken, i think there's a chun jung myung drinking interview that came out earlier before? it would be so awesome if you could translate it for us, JB! : D

i am still one of her fans.. nobody can be perfect. LDH fighting!!!

I love the part on her relationship with Lee Dong Wook (yeah cos I just know her through MY GIRL). Hope to see them together again in another drama or movie-such AMAZING CHEMISTRY.

Thanks for translating the interview. LDH is a beautiful woman. If she has had surgery, I don't think it has been extensive. I think people want to criticize too much. Give the poor girl a break. I guess I am ranting over here. . She has a quiet, serene beauty and I think this is what was needed initially in the beginning epi's of Chuno. Even if her character develops into a stronger persona.. underneath she still conveys a quiet beauty. This will not change.. This is who she is... or appears to be.

While I don't believe in plastic surgery as an elective surgery, it does have its place. There is nothing wrong with having work done if it is not a compulsion. We all have our insecurities about how we look, but I believe beauty is about the inner person. It makes a difference if one the quiet, inner confidence, grace, and elegance. It shows in the face. :) Just my opinion. :)

Well, I kind like and understand her better. Tough she didn't fully answered but I understand her answers and had answered lots of questions of mine too.

Well, good luck girl. You sure can go afar. Just make sure don't easily irritated by the criticism. Ignored the unreasonable one, and tried to take notes and swallow the reasonable one. It make you grew wisely. Improved better.

All the best dear.

I still don't like her after the interview. Oh wells.
Btw I heard that plastic surgery is so good nowadays that you can do the pig nose thing even with a fake nose. So much for proving that its natural!

Chuno scriptwirter really doesn't do justice to her character.

Till now I still find her character very lame and troublesome as compared to the other shiny lively female characters int he drama.

Isn't there usually a test they take at the end of the interview? Why didn't she have to take it?

i don't exactly love her but i still like her as an actress. I know a lot of people found her annoying in my girl but I absolutely loved her in that drama. I don't know why people have to keep commenting about the plastic surgery, out of all the female celebs in Korea it is true that her surgeries are quite minor. I don't see why there's so much criticism on her acting, is it because everyone else in Chuno are that much better? I really find her quite okay. I think this is because I'm her mini-fan.
Regardless I found her answers pretty satisfying as well, I don't think she's like the shiny happy bubbly person like Han Hyo Joo, rumours probably have made her smarten up and say less. The less you say the better it is in the entertainment realm..at least I think so.

Based on the all the videos that I have seen her offscreen, found her the most bubbliest person, sometimes too much I think, anyways at least she is not pretentious.

Thank you for translating!
I actually had no qualms with the interview though it does seem to have a different tone from the others. But I'm not sure we can blame that entirely on her.
As for "the list" its just silly! I do wish she had made more of a distinction btw herself and the character. LDH isn't the reason HW/UN is the way she is entirely and she definitely isn't the cause of half that crap on the list. She's more of an excuse used for men to do what they wanted to do.
I'm not a fan of her character but I also haven't seen the recent eps. For me UN/HW is more of an indifferent character for me by ep 13, which actually is a pleasant change from continuously pissing me off.
I'm not sure if we have much to look for from the character in the future but with Chuno, I think it is more that appropriate to keep your hopes up.

i am not concern regarding her cosmetic intervention , she is pretty , if she had some
done , who is a skillful surgeon , good job , i can not see any change in her .
Let forget all cosmetic stuff , her acting is better since epi 10 , HW is more
active not half stupor as before . I always like LDH , she is talented .

Who is she kidding by saying she hasn't had anything work with her face .. she barely can move her face .. she is so pale .. she has no expression ... poor girl .... she has it after my girl .. and it gets worse after ... i like her face then ...

When I watched Lee Da hae in "My Girl" I thought, Wow! This girl is really pretty! Her beauty is really pleasant to look at. Even when she was acting she carries elegance in her. In MY Girl she made me laugh, she made me cry. I was convinced she could act. In Chuno I'm happy with the way she portrays UN's character.

If she's done minor changes to her face I don't detect it. Some who have done changes are so obvious that it becomes an eye sore, Lee Da Hae is one of the Korean actresses that has the look of a natural beauty. So I enjoy watching her & the drama she's in. I hope she will do more Kdramas even if she moves to Chinese or anywhere else.

Thank you for the interview. I hope there will be more in future. She's entitled to say whatever she's comfortable to reveal about her private life. But I"d like to know who her boy friend is. Lee Dong wook is my favorite with LDH.

The list blame on UN is ridiculous. These kind of people are mad. Chuno is no longer just an entertainment for them. Are they imagining themselves in Chuno.
Its become like a reality for them & they are out to get UN for all the troubles wherever she is close by. In real life these kind of people are dangerous, Bunch of loonies on the loose!!

All the best to Lee Da hae. Ignore the loonies on the loose!!!

"I haven’t had excessive work done as people think."

hmm, it means she did something with her face, just not as excessive right? of course, that pageant picture looks so different. her eyes were so small and her nose bridge was flat too.

One thing for sure, there are lots of jealous gals out there!

Don't give a damn about them LDH!

Lee Da Hae ftw!

everything for her is a "misunderstanding". no matter what the question is, the answer will be "it's a misunderstanding" or "it's a coincidence".

YEAAAA,right !!!!!

Her Chanel is gorgeous!!!

She looks like 2NE1's Bom to me O.O
Her cheeks looked so stiff (botox, much?). I don't think she's a natural beauty, though. (And, LDH, don't ever think of sending me any of your "certified" baby photos, please!)

Hmmm...
There is something in the tone of the article that rubs me the wrong way. Rather like the "je ne sais quoi" javabeans mentioned.

I think I'll reserve judgment though until episode 10.

I agree some LDH fans say her beautiful is natural.If you had watched her every drama.May be her face look like difference some time because of the baby fat. Don't you see nowaday she look more slim than last few year old picture? I have seen her children's time picture before.She god a pair of big eyes,cute face. LDH 's fans are you agree with me? PLS Reply.

She is very very pretty .... but nothing about her exicites me. I wish she was little bit carefree. Her interview sound so meticulous...

Javabeans, I really wish you would have snowflake icons for individual IP addresses. Pretty please?

She's earned quite a bit of goodwill from me because of Green Rose (shocking, I know) and My Girl. And I agree with those that have pointed out above that she's rightfully reserved because of the nature of her interview. The other people whose Drinking Interviews we've enjoyed have all come off of success -- Han Hyo Joo from Brilliant Legacy, Kang Ji Hwan from Civil Servant Level 7. She's in the midst of being blamed for essentially being less than her male cohorts.

I'm guilty of not particularly caring for the character of Un Nyun, but that's because I have broody Dae Gil and boyscout Tae Ha to occupy my fangirl sentiments. I think all she's to blame for here is being too pretty and being a typical female of the era. Or as typical as she can be with the character study of a woman born to slavery and then later assuming the status of a well-born lady. Neither of those two roles say ass-kicking female.

Kudos to her for giving a polished interview. She totally could have gone on a rant and I think she kept it tame. I think she's learning (maybe?) from the East of Eden fiasco.

She obviously admitted for having some work done on her face. "Excessiveness" is relative and what she considers to be not excessive may be so for other people. So, obviously she is not a natural beauty. I want her plastic surgeon phone number hehehe..I'll ask him to transform me to become LDH.

OH YEEAAA --- LEE DA HAE + LEE DA HAE + LEE DA HAE!!!

Gosh, I really love her EVER when I enjoyed watching her in that drama "My Girl" and I thought she was, like, so AWESOME and down-to-earth = her acting is so superb! Lolz. O_______O

Oh, jeez......((scoffs)) I don't understand why some people have all of despicable comments about her -- did I ever complain about her acting? Huh? I DON'T THINK SO --- I REALLY REALLY don't care about some despicable people complaint about her and think about her -- Forget about it & KEEP IT UP WITH YOUR SUCCESS WORK to Lee Da HAE!!! ((clapping so excitedly)) Bravo! ^______^

AGREE + AGREE = AGREE with #32 (Ellen) comment --- OF COURSE!

Oh my......I really miss my best favorite actor LEE DONG WOOK - (( BOTH of them have a strong and good chemistry together since "My Girl" )), oh yeaa!

ONE thing --- (smirks)........THANKS for translating the interview, heh!

*** DO your BEST & FIGHTING!!! ** to Lee Da Hae

lol

"A week later, her manager sent me “certified photos.” They are of her as a baby and in grade school in a children’s musical choir group."

Because we all know how accurate baby pictures are. At least haul out the ones from high school.

Pathetic. I'm disappointed I was a fan of her during My Girl.

Don't know why my posts keep disappearing ?

Anyway, I just feel bad for LDH as 2 of her latest projects seem to attract many antis.

I do think Chuno writer is not giving justice to her lame character.

Till now, I have yet to appreciate the existence of her character which is really root of many problems too. LOL

It irk me seeing this character in the drama though no fault of LDH.

Her character shouldn't be so clean cut from face to clothing in the earlier episodes as a runaway slave, which may be more convincing to us. It make LDH stick out like a sore thumb instead.

Not an LDH fan, but I can't help but be irritated when people just comment to say things like "I don't know her, so who cares?". Then why read the interview if you don't know her? :|

some stupids comments here, you guys have too much time in your hand so you go around and bad mouth about other
