Tomorrow is a very special day for our beloved Sassy Girl, as she celebrates her 28th birthday. It is also a special day for JJH fans around the world, who remember and admire Jeon Ji-Hyun for her beauty, elegance, grace and humility.

What I love the most about JJH is her grace and her stand on being a woman: I have never seen someone so classy, so elegant, so charming and yet armed with a strong sense of values and morals. And in the K-Entertainment world, she sure needs those values.

It has always been my intention to give my thanks to JJH through a humble tribute of my own, hence, I am just pre-empting the said tribute by posting here today. Truth is, I want to know how you guys, my fellow JJH fans, will celebrate her special day.

For those who are lucky enough to be in Korea, greet her for the community, will you?

I have work tomorrow, perhaps its going to be a long day, but I will always find time for a moment of silence, to pray and  to hope for more good things to come to JJH, because not only is she a wonderful actress, but she is also a beautiful person, inside and out, and she deserves to be blessed.

The countdown ends tonight.

Happy birthday Jeon Ji-Hyun.

A Question for Jeon Ji-Hyun Nona: What's With The Trains?

(The second part of  "30 Days of Jeon Ji-Hyun", in celebration of her birth month and a semi-countdown to October 30. This essay was meant to be a parody, so don't take it too seriously. Its all just for fun. :P)

( What's With The Trains, Jeon Ji-Hyun? )

( And just because I'm bored... )

Its the first day of October and as a new JJH fan, I am excited as can be. Why?

It's JJH's birth month, and its the first time I can commemorate it.

I don't know what everybody else is planning, but I am counting down every single day day to Ji-Hyun's 28th with a post: a picture, a candid photo, a wallpaper, and essay, a poem, and all forms of tribute I can give to my favorite actress and uber girl.

Let the countdown begin! 30 days to go!

Two wallpapers to start the celebration:

This is not finalized (so take with a grain of salt), but Jeon Ji-hyun’s potential drama comeback just may come in the Korean adaptation of Japanese manga Absolute Boyfriend, aka Zettai Kareshi. The kdrama will be directed by PD Kim Min-shik of Queen of Housewives and Before and After: Plastic Surgery.

Jeon Ji-hyun is currently busy surveying projects to finalize her decision, and the Zettai remake is reportedly a strong contender. (It had considered casting U-Know Yunho at one point, who moved on to Heading to the Ground instead.) A source with the production said, “We understand that for a long while, Jeon Ji-hyun has been carefully preparing to take a role in a Korean drama. We are working out the details of her casting, and hope for a positive result.”

In the original fantasy-romance manga, a girl accidentally gets a made-to-order boyfriend android from a website, only to find out that she has to pay an exorbitant amount to keep him — unless she helps the company conduct research to improve future models. She must then hide his non-human status from others, and he starts to develop human emotions.

In the kdrama version, the lead is not a teenager but a 30-year-old woman who is a stylist at a beauty salon without any clients. She is betrayed by her first love who becomes an overnight success as a movie star. Feeling the sting, she orders up her ideal man in robot form, aka her “absolute boyfriend.”

Absolute Boyfriend will be a 16-episode drama to air on MBC either at the end of this year or in early 2010. If she decides on the drama, it will be Jeon Ji-hyun’s first in ten years, since 1999’s Happy Together. After seeing such a lot of the same old kdramas airing one after another, this plot sounds like a refreshing change.

(Of course, the big question — aside from whether Jeon will sign on — is: Who plays the perfect manbot?? My wishlist: Kim Kang-woo or Gong Yoo!)

I saw the first episode of ZK and thought it was a fun twist on a romance drama (we all know there are enough of those out there).

Jeon Ji-hyun is currently eyeing new projects, and may possibly be returning to television in a drama series. She has reportedly received an offer to star in a drama currently in its preparation stages, and is said to be considering it seriously. The plot centers around a woman who is dumped by her boyfriend, then goes out of her way to find a man “just like her old love.”

Jeon hasn’t acted in a drama in ten years; her last was the 1999 show Happy Together (with Lee Byung-heon, Song Seung-heon, Kim Haneul, and Cha Tae-hyun). Following that, she’s stuck to films like Il Mare, Windstruck, and her claim to fame, 2001’s My Sassy Girl. She has maintained her fame as a top star with a bevy of CFs, even though recent endeavors have fallen somewhat short of expectations, including her latest film, the vampire action movie Blood: The Last Vampire. Blood performed poorly at the box office and pulled in poor reviews (although Jeon did receive some praise for her role).

The drama series in question is expected to be announced on a broadcast schedule this week. Some reports say Jeon is in talks with production, while her management, Sidus HQ, has come out with the vague statement that they will consider any project if it’s good, but are not focused on one in particular. (Take with a grain of salt; sometimes production companies announce prematurely, but often the casting news proves accurate.)

The idea sounds kind of lame IMO (oops haha) but it would be exciting to see her in a new drama! :)

After completely forgetting that we went into the department store to get Her a present, we left the place. Can't really think straight when you're hungry, right?
