Jisub oppa is so cool and has top-notch crying skills.

[Fallen Angel]

Aiya.....I see Lady Zhuge has a new obsession !

Seriously, I begin to appreciate him more about watching MISA. Damn....he is the first person that make me cry over a series for a long while. He was outstanding as Moo-hyuk from looks to characterwise.

[i_fotted]

He's my favorite Korean actor. Heard he is training in the Army, so I hope him the best of luck! I can't wait till he gets back and make some more series. Maybe he got buffed up a bit.....

[Lady Zhuge]

Lol Fallen Angel, I would hope that starting a thread doesn't equate to obsession. He's a talented actor who's good looking to boot, so I was kind of surprised that he didn't already have a thread. I think he has a nice body from what I've seen of "I'm Sorry, I Love You", probably in part to his swimming. He can definitely pull off the wifebeater (the article of clothing, mind you) look. A little bit buffer wouldn't be bad either.

Does anyone know what So Ji Sup's Chinese name would be and what the characters are?

[Lady Zhuge]

Thanks alot to Yonny for answering my question about SJS's Chinese name (Su Zhi Xie).

I usually prefer guys with double eyelids/big eyes, but SJS is definitely an exception.

Yeah, I think he lost some weight during the production of MISA.......he was a lot buffer in ''Bali Story''. There were some shirtless scenes of him doing push-up.....oh man that was a sight to behold !

Hahaha.....'I'm less discriminate than you, I just prefer them to be tall !

[Li Nhi]

Finally! A thread of my most favorite Korean actor. Ok, this guy is not that cute. His eyes are just too narrow and sleepy in for my taste. But, I just LOVE HIM!!! He's one of the best.

Lady Zhuge, thank you! You're so lucky! You get to see I'm Sorry. I Love You? I'm still stuck on Bali Story. Man.

My favorite series with SJS is Glass Shoes (although, I think it would've been more correct if we'd say Slippers). Hated the series, only stayed to see him. I loved his character in Sweet Proposal as well. That's my kind of guy.

Question: I have a couple of magazines I brought over from VN, and there's mini posters/articles with him in it. But his name was spelled So Ji Sub. Why is that? Does anyone know?

IMO, I think his best performance is 'I'm sorry, I love you'

I seen that a lot too, I think some people just spelled it like the way it sound ...KBS Global (korean online newspaper) spell his name as So Ji-seop.

[Lady Zhuge]

Hahaha.....'I'm less discriminate than you, I just prefer them to be tall !

Just tall? Wow, you are indeed easy to please. SJS definitely satisfies that quality and more. I was surprised that his costar Im Soo Jung is listed as 167 cm. She looks so petite next to him.

Yeah, 'cute' isn't a word I would use to describe him either. That's why I used 'cool' 'cause he's definitely that. His eyes are rather narrow and sleepy, but they are unique. I think his other features are really nice. I heard that Glass Shoes was draggy, so I didn't get it. How is Sweet Proposal and Bali Story?

I think there are many ways to spell his name. I'm not sure if there's one best or correct way. That's why I have them all in parentheses.

IMO, I think his best performance is 'I'm sorry, I love you'

He certainly won alot of awards for it.

[willenette]

Thanks for sharing those pictures.

[crazylife123]

He's one of the asian guys that looks cool with cornrows. I wanted to keep cornrows like him but it's such a hassle to keep my hair long.

[Fallen Angel]

Actually, a lot of people think Im Soo Jung faked her height a bit. There were some pictures of her that were circulating around soompi.com that show how petite she was....her real height is probably around 163cm. She is definately taller than Song Hye Kyo who is about 158cm......

I heard that Glass Shoes was draggy, so I didn't get it. How is Sweet Proposal and Bali Story?

Performance wise, nothing beat MISA....but if you're interest in seeing more of him than Bali Story is the way to go. I didn't actually notice him until I watched Bali Story. Some how he stands out in "Bali Story" when pitting his character against Jo In Sung's character......both actors/characters were outstanding. Some people don't like the shocking ending but I think it's a suitable ending to this drama.

Lady Zhuge, you should read Il_mare's review about this series.....she summed it up perfectly !

[Lady Zhuge]

Thanks for the info and your input, Fallen Angel. I think Im Soo Jung exaggerated about her height too, but I don't see why she would do that. She's cute the way she is. It's killing me that I'm watching MISA (ah, so much shorter to type than "I'm Sorry, I Love You") sooo slowly compared to my usual rate, but I've got a bunch of exams this week. I've really gotta stop procrastinating on this forum, but yeah right. Anyway, I've only just finished episode 2 which ended with this scene:

My mom cried so much while watching this series. She said it was the saddest series she ever watched.

I agree :thumbsup, one of the saddest Korean series I've seen!

[chocolate]

Yes, I agree. MISA was indeed very sad. I cried a lot too. I only like to watch this kind of serie by myself. If there was another person in the room, I wouldn't be able to let it out.

[Lady Zhuge]

I agree :thumbsup, one of the saddest Korean series I've seen!

I know that this is a tough call, but which one would you say is more tragic, MISA or Damo?

Damo was good but MISA made me have tears in my eyes. I pictured myself to be in his shoes and damn...it would hurt hard...my heart that is...if I knew I had a mother but never could call her mother...it would just be too hard...*sigh*
