I guess my hopes of seeing JB recap ripley are getting fainter by the day :(
To all the LDH fans who are bashing JB: dont do it
It's impolite and out of line

OMO, why are we fighting, peeps? hehehehe... it's ticklish to think that I'm actually witnessing a cyber-catfight! lol...
LDH... poor girl. She does need a better management agency, doesn't she? When it happened [her dropping off projects] the first time, it was cool--understandable etc, etc... but after another one and then another one, it just leaves a bad tastes in some people's mouth. I feel that she's mostly misunderstood, but then again, she should not be so slack-ish into making sure these types of things don't happen again, right? I mean, it can't just be 'ooppss, sorry' again and again and again. And whether to hate on her or to love her, that's each and everyone's own prerogative, right? But seriously, I do WANT WORLD PEACE! lol..

Yo, JB! I dig yah... we love yah! Hwaiting!

omo, the comments are making me dizzy.
i really don't care about LDH, so I couldn't get all the so called bitchiness around.
and i didn't know javabeans and girlfriday hate her, lol.

Well, I started out as someone who didn't know Lee Da Hae at all. But the articles here and the comments made me look her up and go through all her 'controversies'. It surprised me to find that barring the Filipino incident where she made a mistake (which was blown out of proportion), almost all the controversies were plain ridiculous. So I do not understand the tag 'controversy queen' first of all. Perhaps, some people think having a dress mishap or dropping out of projects which were not helping you at all is kind of a sin ("unprofessional" I guess is the word they would use), but I don't think so. Nor do I think it makes you evil if you defend yourself when others are making fun of you for things beyond your control. Come on, people, how many of you can say "I won't defend myself If I get bashed here". If we can't say that for ourselves, how can we expect her to stay silent after going through all that humiliation?

From the facts presented in the article, it seems there is not much substance to the lawsuit as Javabeans herself admits. At least a neutral observer might say that LDH didn't rake up the controversy on her own.

I know there's no point saying all these things here. Just that to keep silent would be a crime bcoz some people take what they read here as the truth. Imagine if there were no LDH supporters here, I would never have known the other side to the story. Now I can tell the difference between reporting facts and taking vicarious pleasure in another's misery. And I'm sure if we apply the standards that we use to judge celebrities to our own lives, many of us would be found wanting.

I simply didn't understand the need to link up the lawsuit which is her private thing with the character she is going to play when Ripley hasn't even started airing. If, in this blog, I had not seen all kinds of excuses being made for cliched rom-coms which were still declared as delightful, I would have perhaps given some thought to the lament over how Ripley is not bold enough to chart new territory. The feeling I got after reading the last paragraph was that JB will watch 'Ripley' only if LDH will play the irredeemable anti-heroine for she believes that Da Hae will be then playing herself.

i dont understand why when people call out jbs dislike for ldh everyone assumee that person is a ldh fan? i dont even see how one correlates to the other. im neutral with ldh but even i can tell jb is less than impressed with the actress. its a simple enough observation so its pretty laughable that jb shippers seem determined to argue shes being neutral in this article when she clearly isnt.

I will no longer visit this website for such bias views vs LDH. Like the old shampoo commercial - don't hate her because she is too beautiful!

everybody have a nice day!

folks, can you stop badgering Ms. LDH. She did nothing
wrong. Ocean Film has delayed production on numerous
occasion and expected LDH to wait. That is prepostorous. Fighting LDH sshi!

@ all LDH'S FAN:

this is why all the HATE:

as everyone with BRAIN can read, in this article JB is on LDH side and very natural. but STUPID LDH fan always stir up problems and make it overdramatic. just like their fav actress, they lke to act as if LDH was a victim to a very ugly witches, when anything related to LDH other than praises came. they just want to hear praises. no natural, no positive critics, no negative words. get mature. we're very TIRED with LDH's fan. seriously, u guys just doesnt help her but create more ANTI FANS. i am one of ur products. get it???

I can just see it - Lee Da Hae next project. A Hong sister series starring opposite Cha Seung Won and Jang Geun Suk. You guys would piss in your panties.

Wow ! This is one of the few times I read all comments on a JB's article, but this was SOO fascinating. And not in a good way...

This is a blog, right ? It is a person's page to the world, and she can write what she wants, and we can choose not to visit the site, if we want.

I thought her article was pretty neutral, but giving a blog is a place where one voices one's thoughts out, even IF she wanted to bash Lee Da Hae, which she didn't, she's got every right in the world to do so.

Why don't people who disagree with her open up their own blog, try to get as many followers as JB has gotten through years of dedication to kdrama and US, and then say your piece.

I may read it...

Hmph !

its an open world, people can leave as much comments they want according to their own opinion. but please use some polite words. since when did this blog is so full of immature rude people?

as far as i know people come here and give opinions in discussing environment, except when suddenly the article is about LDH. i cant blame anyone except her fans. JB always state her honest opinion. i know she didnt really favor LDH, but she also did some critics to other actress as well. but no other fans suddenly just jump in and attack in very barbaric ways except LDH's fan.

Much ado about nothing!

wow..this has definitely gone out of proportion.

first of all, i'm neither a fan nor an anti-fan of LDH. so from my POV, her controversies in the recent years has really affected her reputation in a negative light. the real reason..we don't know for sure but it did affect her image as a celebrity. plain and simple.

i honestly think that with her current celebrity status, she could actually assert which project/s she'll do. so i'm not really sure if the point where "she didn't have a choice" or "it was her management's decision" makes sense. IMO.

and please, stop harrassing JB and this blog. this is her space, her domain. i seriously don't get all the animosity. and besides, we all dislike some celebrities.

1. Philippines accent:
For what it's worth, she was doing South East Asian accent. I don't think she knew it would make Filipinos upset because as far as she's concerned, she never mentioned Philippines. Whether this is something some people get offended or not, that's up to each individual.

2. Paper tissue issue:
Just dumb and over exaggerated.

3. Coffee:
I have not idea what the real story is so I can't comment.

Here are her 2 biggest problems.

1. Her view on men and relationship. She's done an interview in which she stated what she expects from her guy. No need to go into details, but she really sounded like a big arrogant *&^%$ who thinks of men as slaves and that she is the center of the universe. This caused many anti fans to act up and many people very annoyed. Perhaps it was too blunt.

I've seen the interview and I think she somehow came off to the viewers as way too arrogant. She has to do a better in interviews and as the poster said, her management company has to better prep her for interviews. The good thing about this is that only small percentage of people have seen this infamous interview, even though her anti fans are posting it everywhere.

So she needs to get rid of her arrogant image.

2. The East of Eden situation:
Whatever the truth, most people..general viewers (meaning not fans or anti fans of the actress) has this idea that she left because her role was decreasing.
It's simple. Yes, you should be upset if the role has decreased more than you had expected, but you should have tried to work it out. You just don't get up and leave in the middle of the drama. I think that's how average people who cares about this situation thinks.

So, the actress has to work on some of these image problems. I think she'll be fine in fixing this. The infamous interview occurred more than 2 years ago, and people (excluding anti fans) tend to forget or not care about being irresponsible? disloyal? arrogant? and stuff even if they think she was being as such. I mean it's not something people will say oh I hate her so I won't watch her stuff. Let time pass, and most will forget. Just do better from now on. Work on coming off more humble. Be careful of being too blunt on how you think of yourself and others on TV.

She will be fine. As the writer has pointed out, her management company must do better to prep her for interviews and do a better PR job. Do a better job in explaining in her defense when she leaves a project or whatever that may bring her under negative light.

One more thought..

To LDH fans,

Kang Ji Hwan already paid the price for what he did. It is also the reason why his drama didn't promote him actively. So he is still paying for what happened. He also lost out on a project because of it. So lost of pay, lost of work, and lost of marketing value.

You shouldn't be too quick to raise another actor's name to justify LDH when she wasn't kept from acting and etc. She's promoting her drama fine, right? She wasn't forced to leave her projects right? To compare contract issue with agency is different than leaving projects. Both are different issues that are dealt differently.

No need for LDH fans to bring up other actors to justify LDH.

I'm her fan before and I'd say she better get her acts together. Its not like negative news about her are pure imaginations and inventions. If one want good press, good news only then be careful with own actions. viewers have own reasons, mine is I'll watch Ripley because of YooChun. I hope there will be Ripley recaps here. OH, There's news about Ripley being sold to Japan because of "YooChun effect". It's in the news last week:)

anyway reading the comments ..its easy to see who are over reacting.

JUst like or don't like....BYE PPL

Only sensitive pinoys hate LDH... Ape shit...

@jayceepark
Like seriously who give fucking 2 hoot bt what pinoy said... They r loser who like to remake Korean dramas... :(
