she officially is left the set and flew to LA!!!!!

This might be the best time for me to ask this, being a kdrama blog newbie and all... I've come across several references to HYS and Lee Da Hae and how much they are disliked, but I don't know why and I can't tell if it's the netizens that don't care for them or the actual industry. I've only seen them in dramas and I liked them there so I was wondering what the stink is about. Can anyone fill me in? Thanks!

There are many links here on DB concerning LDH. You might want to take some time and read the various postings here about her. Just type her name into the search box. Also, look up East of Eden, her movie - it was the basis for a lot of her problems.
:)

there is news that Han Yeseul went to L.A. ... so i don't think that she will come back and do the drama at all...

they should just kill off her character... the last scene of the last episode so far has her pointing & shooting a gun on herself... instead of blanks... why not say that it had real bullets instead... somebody switched it & that caused her death... (that situation happened in real life before anyway)

or if people want her character to still be alive, she could fake her death and come back with a new face, therefore a new actress takes over the role....

the first ten episodes was all a dream for kang woo, who is trying to write a screenplay lol lol ......but i still feel like a jilted lover thats been left in the poring rain without a umbrella smh

People especially Korean netizens need to stop bitching about Han Ye Seul. They are not the ones that have to stay up late to film a drama, and if HYS was getting sick because of the filming schedule, then a person's health is well above other's entertainment. Also a website I read said that the Production company said that 80% was the PD's fault and 20% the actress. I think I would have gone mad at working in such an environment, and would have done the same thing as HYS. Again Eric was in a lot less scene than HYS so he should stop talking smack about her. I'm all for HYS so kudos to her for standing up to this corrupt abusive business.

Eric opens up about Han Ye Seul’s no-show - ViKi

Eric opens up about Han Ye Seul's no-show Eric has expressed his honest opinions regarding Han Ye Seul's failure to show up for her filming responsibilities for their drama, KBS's 'Spy Myung Wol'. On August 15th, Eric spoke through an interview...

i'm not sure what's the real entire story is, but i'm sure HSY didn't wish for this to turn out this way either. i love her as an actress. but still personally, it is a little (not irresponsible) but disappointing that she leaves in this manner, what ever the problem she has with the PD or whatever, they should settle it without effecting the other cast and crew. and if she still thinks leaving is the only choice, then do it the proper way.

kinda feel bad for eric, before poseidon now this?

I don't think anyone can make a fair judgement about HYS until we know all the facts, but it certainly seems irresponsible.

Regardless, I do feel bad for the other actors, especially Eric, for whom this is his post-military debut.

I hope they get it all resolved. It was a cute premise with great possibilities and I was enjoying it.

on a side note.. Ryu is really HOT!~!!! :p

okay is this real? http://absolutshinhwa.wordpress.com/2011/08/16/11-08-16-kbs-to-replace-han-ye-seul-with-another-actress-for-spy-myungwol/

what is going on? i really like this drama and to see it fall to pieces like this. poor eric!

On a related note, this probably does not bode well for the HYS and SJK movie, Penny-Pinching Romance. It'll most likely join What's Up as movie/drama I was eagerly anticipating watching, but won't ever be able to see.

Regardless of whether HYS has a legitimate, reasonable explanation for her behavior, she has effectively blacklisted herself for life in the K-ent industry.

Heck I don't even watch the show, but it's making me really sad how netizens are just pointing fingers at her (or at everyone else involved, for the matter) when the reality is none of us knows what's really happening. That article about her going to LA to get married is just... smh maybe it's true, but really? Kick a person while she's down, why don't you?

I wonder how many more incidents will the k-ent take before trying to actually change their system for the better...

omo...this is sad...i was looking forward for today's episode!!!

and she left to come here at LA??? if i had known and had the time i would have gone to LAX and looked for her to see if it was real!!!

this is really bad though...how do they expect us to react when they do decide to air the next ep and the heroine is no longer her?

now i'm curious as to who will replace her???

In reading the latest news via Joong Ang Ilbo, the following are what I can gather:

1. While it's entirely possible that HYS got on an LA-bound plane, there is no confirmation of it. Only that a Leslie Kim was booked for such a flight.

2. Her mother rushed from LA to Seoul on the 16th (by Korean date) to join effort with her 소속사 to negotiate for resumption of shooting on the 17th. (What the heck is 소속사? I thought it was her management but all the rumors have said Sidus has all but abandoned her, so I'm totally confused.) Anyway, people within the 소속사 do not know her whereabouts and have a hard time reconciling that she'd have left the country when her mother was en route, about which some speculate HYS may not have been aware.

Totally crazy. Something is seriously wrong here.

She might have her reasons for not appearing on set but according to a comment by a crew member made in Jul, she does seems like someone self-centered and unprofessional.

"I understand that actresses are stupid, but while we’re shooting Eric says his lines but she won’t do hers a lot of the time; she says she doesn’t want to do things that make her look funny so she won’t say her lines. She came all the way to far away Mungyeong, turned off her manager’s cell phone, and they just left the set together; because of that the other actors/staff had to put up with a really tight schedule and that made everyone tired. They had to go back to Mungyeong to film that scene. She wanted less scenes with her in them because she’s tired and asked instead to extend Eric’s scenes. In the scenes where she has to appear with Eric together she doesn’t show any consideration for Eric; she just goes in to quarrel with the director. Filming for the drama’s plainly going to be mostly all-nighters and the drama will practically be broadcast live, but she says she wants a 5 day workweek and she also wants us to finish up filming for the day everyday at midnight. We have to build up the Myeongwol-Kang Woo relationship and continue the melo story but she makes Eric look stupid because she doesn’t even try to understand what the script is about. All the news came out because of her but the next day she didn’t even look apologetic and she went around proudly. She never wants to do anything that makes her look funny or bad; in the scene where she had to get hit with eggs she treated the stuntman so badly when there was nothing wrong and she made the stuntman film the scene for her. Sidus can’t control her, so in the articles written against Han Yeseul they made Eric look bad too along with her when he’s trying his best. The atmosphere at the set is great when Han Yeseul is not there but when she comes in, it changes; it settles down. Even when we try to tell Han Yeseul’s staff and the production company about this she just acts as she pleases. If she does it one more time I think I’m going to swear directly in her face next time I see her. I’m sorry this is so unorganized, I’m so mad."

Well this comment might not be true, so read with a grain of salt.

Agreed with Leila.

Give me a break about the "she doesn't try to understand the script." She's done a good job at being MW so far and seemed to flow well with the script.

I just hope that HYS is OK, I am a big fan of hers and I hope she is OK!!!

HYS may not speak on this matter soon. She may choose to not speak for a long time, except to her close friends. Hence many will never know the whole story.

For an established actress to take things to this extend, she must have taken enough as a person. Before she is an actress, she is a person.

I have not watched this drama, but from the recaps I can tell she's doing a great job. If she argues with with director on set, I'd (like to) would think she's defending her character and hence her role as an actress in the drama. May not be the most politically correct thing to do, but as least she gives a damn and she speaks for her mind and thoughts.

The shooting / production system sucks. Every one suffers - the weak ones suffer the most.

I bid you well, HYS. Peace be with you.

http://www.hancinema.net/bound-for-america-han-ye-seul-marriage-rumor--32222.html and now, Marriage rumor comes out? GOD! Can people stop this? she would really not come back here if these stupid rumors are still going on!
GOD, I hope she has realized that there are people need her. please Leslie Kim, come back.... :(

Wow I stepped away from this blog and I have to say I am a bit appalled by some of the immaturity and mud-slinging I am seeing here not only at HYS but at other commenters as well. Some of the type of comments I have read here I expect to see on sites like allkpop were the commenters are usually teenage idol fangirls and fanboys with nothing better to do. Usually I see a much more mature group of people here which is why I like this site so much.

Now to the whole issue, the only people who know what is going on is the PD and Han Ye Seul, the companies, the cast, and the fellow staff have more of an idea of what is going on but only the people involved really know what is what. Even the media only knows what people who choose to speak to them tell them and only tell the public what will make a good story so until the PD or HYS speak up I tend to take everything with a grain of salt cause at the end of the day its hearsay as to what really happened that caused her to leave. To all of the people saying this person said that, or i know someone who has worked with her, its all hearsay, unless you are on the drama set or CF set, etc, and have worked with her in person, how on earth do you know what she is like or how she is to work with, you are only hearing the opinion someone made of her and trust me how one person sees someone is very different than how another will see the same thing. This is my first time watching HYS's work, so I am not some crazy fangirl but the vitriol here is sad. I mean all we know as facts is that she and the PD had issues and that according to kbs it was mostly the PD's fault, we also know that she wanted the PD replaced and that didn't happen, we also know that she was late on the 14th , didn't show on the 15th, and is now in the states. Everyone agrees that regardless of the reason it was unprofessional for her to leave the show like that but as to her reasons for doing so we may never know. Those are the facts any opinion as to why this is happening is hearsay and frankly I don't really trust anything from KBS with their track record. What if HYS was extremely depressed and new that workload was making it worse and with them not trying to help her get the rest she needed maybe she had gotten to a point that she knew staying with the drama would worsen her depression and be detrimental to her mental and physical health so she chose to leave because she thought she didn't have any other option. I am not saying this is the case, but what if. Or maybe the PD did something to her, maybe she is just being a diva, maybe she is in fact in a relationship and had gotten pregnant who knows, the possibilities and speculations are endless.

Maybe I am naive but I would like to believe that most people have common sense and logic , so I find it hard to believe that this was a rash decision. To essentially take a poop on a ten-year successful career doesn't make sense unless there is a very personal reason to do so, one we may never know. To the people that say she did this to retire early, I doubt that, her contract with sidus HQ is almost up, she could of just finished the drama and then retire, why risk her and her family's reputation just so she can retire early . I mean if you see how we, the general international public are responding, can you imagine what korean-americans who follow the korean news are responding, so I highly doubt she did this just to leave early.

I think whatever her reasons are, she should at least have enough decency to make an official stand or statement out of respect to the rest of the cast and crew.
If she really IS that unwell or depressed or whatever problems she's having, she should have had someone she trusted to make a statement on her behalf without leaving things hanging in the air.
I've read many comments saying she's gutsy for standing up for herself against the system and yes, if that's what she is really doing but I do consider it somewhat cowardly to just fly off like that with a measly "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Have a good life" left to her friends.
No one is saying that the live shoot system is not flawed and not horribly taxing to everyone involved but to just leave like that doesn't make her the better person. I just think as a grown woman and as a veteran working in this very system for years now should know better than to just run off like that without a word.

I can't believe this is happening... I don't think I can watch this drama without Han Ye Seul.

Is there any way we can reach her and convince her to come back? or at least tell us what happened? ._.''

what a b*sh.
who leaves during airing time just for a personal issue?
you have no idea how much it interrupts not only for the production team but the fans....uhhh I hate it when actors ruin some of the best dramas...

I do beleive that HYS action was irresposible..
She shouldn't leave the drama like this..
This is a weired action from a famous actress.

She should pay for the losses that she cost..

In order to fullfiul her role, I think that the director can end the previous episode with her death. She shooted herself with a real gun. Then, they can look for another lead actress....
