Virgin Snow - Review

Finally got to watch "Virgin Snow", although I was really excited about watching when it was still filming but now that I had seen it, it was rather a disappointment.

Because Junki is the main character and he gets more screen than Aoi does so most of the time it's in Korean. Junki didn't attempt to speak a lot of Japanese but it's Aoi who's the one that attempt to speak Korean more.

What made it a not so good film was that because of the different language, Korean and Japanese also the plot is very ordinary. As there isn't much conversation between the two main character because they don't understand each other languages.
Sometimes I get confuse whether they are in Korea or in Japan because it doesn't indicate it on the screen. When I see Junki who's 25 act as a 18 or something student who does kiddy things makes me feel weird although it's cute in a way.

To say the truth the only thing that is worth watching it was for the two main character Aoi and Junki. There lots of cute scene of Junki, I especially likes when his hair is messy.

Rating: 6/10

2007 Shanghai Charming Fashion Award

Junki received an award for the 2007 Shanghai Charming Fashion Award.
In the video Junki expressed that he doesn't have much tips on dressing and I did remember that he's not much of a fashion guy but the clothing he wears always look good.
I didn't really like what he wore to his award ceremony and I don't like his hair like that too.

44th Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival

I know I'm being late on Junki's news but I just watched this recently on youtube.
It's the 44th Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival, Junki was the only Korean artist who attended the festival.
Although Junki isn't there to receive an award but as a guest to present an award.
In this clip I find Junki being extremely cute!
First of all he tried speaking in Mandarin, although it sounds funny but it's cute. Then he was asked a question because it's a long reply so he asked in English "Can I speak in Korean?" Of course he can! And when he just start speaking in Korean the fans laughed, I think it's because he's the only Korean there and no one understands it.
Then when the translator suddenly pop up from the back which kind of scared Junki, he was so cute!

Junki's "Iljimae" style!

This is what Junki will look like in the new drama "Iljimae". Junki wearing the olden days clothes, this reminds me back of Junki as Gongil. Those beautiful days of Junki where Junki is know "More prettier than womens".

The first photo is really nice and shoted very beautifully (but I don't know if it's photoshoped). The 2nd photo is probably taken when they are filming.

I hope this will grab my heart back for my Junki obsession.

Magnificent Vacation = May 18

Actually I totally forgot to post this up because before while walking to find a place to eat lunch, I saw a big poster outside of a cinema. That movie poster is called "May 18" a Korean movie. I didn't know what movie it was but it was rare to have a Korean movie in Sydney. But that poster looks really familiar. Then I realise it was "Magnificent Vacation", they just changed the name to "May 18".

Because I'm in the middle of fighting against with my assessments so I couldn't spare the time to go to the cinema to watch it. Hope I get to watch it when the DVD releases.

Junki new drama - "Iljimae"

I knew this a week ago but I forgot to blog about it in here.
So I was checking out the new Korean dramas on DramaWiki and found that Jun Ki will participate in a drama called "Iljimae" which will broadcast in 2008.

This is the synopsis of the drama from DramaWiki:
Set during the Joseon Dynasty, Iljimae acts as a useless gangster in the marketplace by day but at night he is a chivalrous robber who robs corrupt government officials to give to the poor. After each robbery he leaves behind a wooden branch from a plum tree at the site of the robbery to take responsibility for the robbery.

The drama sounds like another interesting one, I'm really looking forward in this!

Junki in Hong Kong

On the 2nd October Junki finally arrived in Hong Kong, first time going to Hong Kong there were more than 100 fans waiting at the airport.

Once Junki step out of the gate fans all hurried to give flowers and presents to Junki.

Sherman Chung and Ken Hung represent EEG to welcome Junki on the day. Junki receive each present happily and kept on waving and doing the V sign to the fans. After Junki safely got on the car he's heading to the hotel and once he got off the car more guards appeared.

Sherman Chung praise that Junki is prettier than a girl and said "Junki looks prettier than me".

Then the reporters asked Ken Hung what if EEG prepare a movie where you have to kiss Junki passionately? He replied "I would feel lucky, I wouldn't be scared to kiss him, I just have to imagine him as a beautiful girl."

On the day the official contract signing was held, Junki expressed that there were a lot of company to choose from but he chose EEG in the end. During the event Joey Yung as a guest taught Junki some Cantonese, "Can you be my wife" this is what Joey taught Junki. When Junki said it to the fans all the fans started screaming. Junki then asked Joey to say it again and afterward he said it 3 times. Then Joey asked Junki to say it to her once, the fans all screamed "Don't~~" Junki then said "I have to go through a lot of stages to get marry". He then jokingly said next time when a Korean friend goes to Hong Kong he will teach that friend that sentence.

Atferward the reporters asked if Joey has fallen in love to Junki? Joey replied "He's only 25, younger than me by 2 years. Supporting him is enough."

When reporters asked will Junki participate in movie producted by EEG he answered "When I was young I really like Hong Kong movies, if there is a chance I would love to". He was then asked who he want to cooperate with, he replied "Jacky Cheng, Jet Li and Steven Chou". As for female actress he would love to work with Shu Qi and Maggie Cheung.

He then was asked if he cared that people said you look like a girl? He answered "Each actor will act by following the script, I'm the same. But in the recent drama the character I play is very manily and tough".

EEG manager Mani expressed that Junki will participate in singing, movie and drama, later EEG will produce a movie that Junki will also be participating in it. When asked who will be the female lead she answered "umm... Gillian will do, but it depends on her behaviour."

*I combined a few articles together instead of posting a lot about the same thing*

Junki Joined EEG

I was reading the Chinese newspaper this morning, I saw a photo which looked like Junki but wasn't sure if it's was him so I started reading the article.

It said that Junki will join Hong Kong recording company EEG (the same company as Twins and Joey Young), I was kind of shocked. Contract has already been signed and now Junki is going towards the China media. Because of work load he didn't get the time to learn Chinese but from now on Junki will work hard on improving his Chinese.

I guess I should be looking forward to Junki speaking Chinese since it's a language that I understand.

PART 2

Sorry for no updating

I find myself lazying off again and not updating this blog. As I know myself is more devoted to the Japanese side it's really hard for me to keep track of an Korean artist, sometimes I just can't be bother checking what's new or I'm too into my other Japanese artist. So that is why I totally forgot to update this blog.

New season of SPRIS photos are out, can't be bother to upload them but you can always get them off the official website ^^;
What else can I ask beside Junki looks absolutely adorable and hot!

I guess I update this from time to time, just hope everyone wouldn't forgot about FLY JUN KI then I'm happy!

The doctor suggested that he should rest for a week but due to the filming he had to postpone his rest until his filming is all done.

HQ Time of Dog & Wolf Screen Caps - Ep1&2

Here are some of the high quality screen caps I found over the internet from "Time of Dog and Wolf" episode 1 and 2. Mainly of episode 2 since there aren't a lot of shots of Jun Ki in episode 1. These screen caps are great, we can see each of Jun Ki's expression clearly and they are awesome! These are great for banners, avatars or whatever you want to do with it.

Episode Two [Chinese Subs]

Here is episode two, it released so quick and the Chinese subbers are so quick in subbing it. This episode is actually way better than episode one not only because it feature a lot more of Junki but the mood of it relaxed instead being so tense like the first episode.

Keller did told me that there's a English sub version, I took a look at it and it's another .rmvb format, for English sub I want to have the .avi format I know there will be a group subbing it but if anyone couldn't wait for the .avi version for English sub I could direct link you to where to get the .rmvb English sub.

EPISODE ONE!

This is Episode One of "Time of the Dog and Wolf", I guess we all have waited a very long time for this drama to be aired. Sorry for those who can't read Chinese because this is Chinese subtitles, so far I'm still search for the English Subtitle.

Junki is in it so less only for the first 10mins or so, the rest of the episode talks about Junki as a little boy and how he met Sang Mi. It's heading in a good direction, finally something which is not romance. The next episode has more of Junki as it show him grow up.

Time of Dog & Wolf

Currently I'm downloading Episode 1 but highly doubt there would be English subtitles, there's a higher chance that it's rather RAW or Chinese subs.

IT'S TODAY

Finally it's today, today is the broadcasting day of "Time of Dog & Wolf".
I'll be searching everywhere and to try and look for a English sub or Chinese sub or even RAW if I had to.

Actor Lee Jun-ki; No Longer Just a Pretty Boy

JULY 05, 2007 03:06
I met actor Lee Jun-ki (25 years old) near Incheon Harbor, which was filled with large containers and cranes and the scent of the salty air from the sea on July 3 . He was shooting an MBC TV soap opera, “The Time of Dogs and Wolves," or “Gae-wa Neukdae-ui Shigan” in Korean (airing at 9:55 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays), which will hit the airwaves on July 18. He seemed very tired of the extremely hot and humid weather and lit a cigarette when he spoke.

“It is less hot and humid here than when I was shooting in Thailand. It is physically hard but I am more concerned about how I can become absorbed into my character.”

In the TV drama, main character Lee Su-hyeon (played by Lee Jun-ki) becomes a secret agent to take revenge for his mother’s death on the Thai criminal organization “Chungbang.” He disguises himself as Kay, a gangster, and infiltrates into the organized crime ring. Lee said about Soo-hyun, “He is wild but very gentle in love. His personality is very similar to me as he is very insistent and unyielding.”

Lee added, “Su-hyeon can be sometimes sad, happy, vengeful, and loving. This is the most emotional and moodiest character I have ever played, so it is hard for me to become Su-hyeon.”

This new drama has many action scenes such as participating in a Muay Thai competition or fighting with gangsters. He looks completely opposite from Gong-gil, the pretty clown that he played in the movie the King and the Clown. He said, “I am very careful not to be too stylish nor put on much make-up.” He cut his hair, which covered his entire neck before, as well.

Lee said, “I had hard time last year because it seemed that I was trapped in a pretty boy image. People like that image. But it is up to me to break that image.”

Last year he tried to break the mold when he played Seung-seok, a fighter in the movie “Flying Daddy,” but the movie felt short of the expectations in terms of box office goals. Many movie fans were critical of his performance, calling it “awkward.”

Lee says he is not obsessed with statistics and that he wants to be known as real actor and a “cool wolf.” He gained stardom with his looks so quickly, which led to people misunderstanding him as fastidious.

He said, “I am down to earth, unlike my looks. I am uncomfortable with being called as a star. I don’t like special treatment. I need to learn more until become a true actor respected by all.”

While having a meal at a harbor cafeteria with staff members, he joked, “The cook here must be a vegetarian. This meal contains no meat at all.”

The title, “the Time of Dogs and Wolves” comes from French expression: “L’heure entre chien et loup,” which means the time of sunset between afternoon and night when it is hard to distinguish dogs from wolves. I asked Lee when is such a time for him.

“It is when I feel rivalry toward an excellent actor whom I have a close relationship with and respect for. As recently as when Jeon Do-yeon received the Best Actress Award at Cannes, I thought I wanted to do better than her someday. I hope that the time of dogs and wolves comes to me many times so that I can become a fierce actor.

He looks like Junki to me

I was randomly youtube-ing this afternoon, suddenly found an Japanese artist by the name of SHOWTA. Other than his voice surprises me his songs are extremely good.
While watching one of his PV "Trans-winter~Fuyu no Mukougawa~" I found a couple of shots of him looked like Junki. If you want to see that please watch that PV I named above because his other PVs doesn't look like Junki. Anyways, at least they both have a common thing, that is they both have a pretty face and looked girly (but Junki is not anymore).


This might be random to be blogging here, but his songs are really nice.
So what do everyone think? Does he looks a bit like Junki? (Ok, don't just look at the two cap I uploaded because I just randomly took two, it's better to watch the PV)
