WOW! I found the last picture particularly beautiful.

Wow... all of the pictures are very beautiful, especially the black and white ones.

He and the plot are the reason I sit through this nightmare of bug-eyed slapstick.

The plot of his show is very good. I only wish the director would tone down the freaky faces they make.

*sigh* Bae Soo Bin has the more gorgeous eye-smile. They need to stop making him a side character and give him the lead, he's so fab =)

so pretty. but ironically his role diminishes...with every episode lol @__@!
yay dong yi. why doesn't han hyo joo have pretty stills too ㅠ-ㅠ.

I feel bad because they underutilized his character and his acting abilities, but I'm still glad he's there. I want to give him big teddy bear hugs =3

bae soo bin is good looking and i agree that he has such beautiful eyes, especially when he smiles..

as for dong yi, i must say that he has some killer lines.. hehehe. i am watching this drama purely for the the actors han hyo joo and bae soo bin.

sorry i meant that in dong yi: bae soo bin has some killer lines. thanks

To be honest, Chunsoo seems like an extraneous character in desperate need of a storyline. On paper, it was going to a Bidam-like role, but for the most part, he (much like the deposed Queen) pops up in scenes to angst over Dong Yi like the "GOAT Oppa" that Bae-soo Bin is, and then leave.

Oddly, there's been exactly one scene thus far between Chunsoo and Lady Jang. It's as if the directors were deliberately trying to avoid having scenes between Lee So Yeon and Bae-Soo Bin, due to the various times they've acted together. Also, I just realized that both Jo Jin Hee and Lee So Yeon were support characters in One Spring Day, thereby adding yet another connection to this show.

Gosh you just killed me with this post. Those eyes are deadly.

Every time he's in a scene I giggle. I'm guessing with these last episodes, his feelings and his place in the drama will become known.

And I cant wait!! The more I see of BSB, the better!

pretty pictures indeed~ very pretty

ooooooh is he the only one going to get this pretty set of shots? isn't dong yi well on its way to ending?

simply gorgeous!!!

Ahh so cute 추말

WOw! Very good looking :D I'm waiting for the entire series to be done so I can watch it all at once lol

wow nice pictures. the quality and the photographer captured awesome movements

@10 & @12

No..Dong Yi is not in the last episodes.

http://news.nate.com/view/20100723n07113?mid=e0101
Dong Yi will have a 14 episodes extension & will ends its run in October

ohhhhhhh so pretty... sigh* he seriously needs a role where he's the main guy who will get the girl - and none of that "temptation of an angel" stuff.

wow. simply stunning.
to the person who said something about bug eyes, HAHA i know right? esp queen jang.
but its a pretty good drama, and gosh am i jealous of han hyo joos look!

Very good looking! Gorgeous! Superb actor!

Sighhhh....will there ever be a drama with Bae Soo-bin and Han Hyo-joo playing romantic leads? Would love to see that happening!!!!

Great photos!

Love them all. All beautiful. Thanks for a great find.

"He and the plot are the reason I sit through this nightmare of bug-eyed slapstick."

@diadda

Pretty much spot on.

While the writers/PD sometimes drag on certain scenes, "Dong Yi" has a highly entertaining plotline w/ many twists and turns (almost too much).

The weakest part of DY is the annoying habit of over-exaggerated, repetitive expressions that many of the actors in DY seem to interpret as acting (primarily, the 2nd Queen's brother, the minister leading the South faction, the 2 "idiot" musicians, the "idiot" father, wife and son, etc.).

Even HHJ overdid it w/ the annoying facial expressions as she had to carry on the expressions of the child actress who played the younger DY.

Otoh, BSB, Jung Jin young, Ji Jin hee, the 1st Queen, the 2nd to the Chief Inspector Lady and her protege and a few others do a pretty good job.

He's delectable.

RAWWWR!!
so delish, why must you be so intense, bae soo bin?? :P

it's the eyes, i think. *swooooon*

AH! I love him <3
ever since Brilliant Legacy... MAN.
He's... very nice to look at ;) to say the least ;)

wow..I'm in awe..they look really nice...he looks good in them..

delicious. absolutely delicious.

love dong yi. i didnt like han hyo jo so much in shining inheritance but she got me waiting for every episode in dong yi.

ji jin hee is so good in saeguks. he is doing a terrific job as the king.

bae so bin should get more air time. i hope they can put him in the story lines. i read in the internet that based on history, dong yi will have more than one child and there will be questions on the father of some her kids... good storylines for cha chul soo/ bae so bin right???

The plot's okay. The story is built on a "villain by committee" setup, which is fine in a sageuk if the story invests enough real court intrigue to permute the setup. But the story is actually kind of simple. For about 80% of the story, Lady Jang is a passive rival to Dong Yi. The brother is the true villain, but it's perplexing given that he really isn't the main rival. The show kinda borrows tropes from Damo and Dae Jang Geum, but doesn't develop them for payoff. It's entertaining though. HHJ and JJH's scenes are so charming.

"The weakest part of DY is the annoying habit of over-exaggerated, repetitive expressions that many of the actors in DY seem to interpret as acting "

It's a reflection of the direction. The director uses an extreme number of reaction shots, many of which are shot very tight, as if the script literally had "*eyeball!!* *squirm!* *sneer!*" in it. Bae Soo Bin too. He's miming for the camera and overacting big time in order to sell his role as the suffering oppa guy.

Of all the actors, only Jung Jin Young has managed the "reaction shot drinking game" well. He stares off in space half the time, and I think he may have a lazy eye. But it seems more "meaningful" when he does it. And he's a great actor. Ji Jin Hee seems to be the only one who's being directed normally.

@21 Fully agree with you. When I was watching brilliant legacy I personally thought BSB was more handsome than the lead actor. My heart just bled for BSB and was dismayed that in DY he would again not get the girl.

love dong yi....its so addicting....ive given up on a lot of dramas lately half way thorugh...nd of all things i find it funny that i so anticipate the next episode of a saeguk....dong yi is a keeper

i absolutely love han hyo joo, my favorite actress...nd i love her with bae soo bin..you should all see the behind the scene pictures of these two...they seem like BBF's its so cute....she even moved to the same agency as him
if there wasnt such a huge age gap i would love these two to be together in real life....

the last picture is amazing

@32 no! BSB is reserve especially for me. eventhough he seems to swing the other way in Jumong, still think he looks delicious - even more than the lead...

awww... JB, you make me motivated to continue watch Dong Yi again haha... Love BSB in here...

I think this actor acting skill is amazing , i like him more than the King actor ,.

For me , all plots are predictable , as in Chinese movies ,they just monitor
Queen Jang servants movement than they will know what she is up to , she uses the same servants for every plot.

Actress as DY , i like her but her acting is still weak , in episode 35 , her expressions vrey similar for two totally different situations , her ID is about to
be exposed and her ID is protected by the Royal chief .

Royal families , the most dysfuntional families , King with several Queens , concubines , then reproducing several princes and princesses , all of them having their own supporters , followers , fighting to each others, not for the sake of country , of people but for their own power ,for their own wealth , then to keep them behaved properly the Inner Court sets up Royal guards , lady investigators ....
all these expenses from poor people who never been protected by their King or Royal Court or Nobles .

My opinion , based on the view of 21 centuty might not be fair for The King in that century .

Drama just for entertainment ,K historical drama , Immortal Admiral YI , Jewal in the Palace , Damo , Jumon , YI san i like the most .

HE NEEDS TO BE A LEAD IN A DRAMA!! I know he was somewhat in temptation of an angel but the ending to that was not satisfying. I want him to have a lead similar to lee seung gi's in shinning inheritance.

he's one of my ten best K actors on the list....he's dead gorgeous & the traditional clothes really look perfect on him! sigh sigh i wanna see him in person plzzzzzzzz :))) such an expressive eyes. I started liking him in Brill. Legacy or Shining Inherit. then searched for his old projects & he was great in this old movie called Crying in the Glow of Sunset! Way to go BSB!!! aja aja

@37 i agree, i also wld like to see him in a drama as a lead coz he's loaded with acting potentials! i really think he's gonna go that far of being a hallyu or is he already?

thnx JB for sharing this article, you made my day!

He is superb in the drama Jumong.

"i really think he’s gonna go that far of being a hallyu or is he already?"

Sexy Beast, like Kim Nam Gil, is a budding Hallyu actor. Shining Inheritance was a big Hallyu hit, and Temptation of Angel is being marketed to the Hallyu market. Of course, there's also Jumong.

very nice pictures <3
