Song Hye Kyo

I enjoy TV dramas and films a lot. I’m not a fanatic one but it wasn’t until I watch the Korean Drama “Fullhouse”. I became an avid fan of Song Hye Kyo. I like her since “Endless Love/Autumn in my heart” drama. One english site provide me lots of information like her profile, pictures and projects from past and current ones. I have also activated a google alert for her on my gmail account. Thanks to google they offer this kind of alert so I am updated with what’s the latest buzz on my favorite actress.

I was thrilled when I learned that she will star in John Woo’s next project “1949”. John Woo as we all know is the man behind the highly anticipated films Face off and Mission Impossible II. The screenplay will be written by Wang Hui-ling, the writer of one of the best movie I saw, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Song will star opposite Chang Chen, the actor who played Lo/Dark Cloud opposite Zhang Ziyi in Crouching Tiger. A highly $40million-budget film, with release date (December 2009) coinciding with the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and working with Asia and Hollywood’s big names..this is Grand!

1949 movie doesn’t mark Song’s entry to Hollywood since she did a Hollywood Independent Film “Fetish”(2008) succeeding her first period movie, Hwang Jin Yi which according to her is a turning point of her career shedding off cute image portraying to a strong assertive independent character.

I have watch 3 of her drama, Autumn Tale, All In and Full House and her two movies, My girl and I and Hwang Jin Yi. I would understand why her first movie My girl and I opposite Cha Tae Eun (My sassy Girl) critically panned by audience since fans (including me) expect her on a greater project after making Fullhouse a hit. The story is pointless. But I did enjoy her Hwang Jin Yi. I actually watch it on the plane hehe. The movie was full of art and I think she gave justice to the role. It fared poorly in Korea mainly because a TV version aired prior to the release of the movie. Her current project now is a drama “The world they live in” opposite Hyun bin (My Lovely Sam Soon). The title is not appealing but I think they make a cute couple.

I’m having an impression that Song hye kyo will be the next Zhang Ziyi and as a fan, I hope she can make a name in Hollywood. Nevertheless, she’s the beauty you can never be tired of. She is really beautiful.
