  We're closing this OPEN FORUM after May 28 since anyone who wants to write anything would have chipped in already.   We thank all fans for participating.  Many of your ideas and opinions make more sense than some parts of the drama.       This forum opens on March 19 and will remain open all through broadcast of  "49 Days".  It will be updated everyday so you don't have to look for it amidst all the other posts. 

    IF YOU DO NOT IMMEDIATELY LEAVE A COMMENT (JUST SAY "HI") AFTER YOU REGISTER, YOU WILL BE DELETED AS A SUBSCRIBER.  THIS APPLIES ALSO TO THOSE RECENT SUBSCRIBERS WHO MAY NOT BE AWARE OF OUR NEW POLICY.   To all subscribers new and old One of the more dreary things we have to do everyday is DELETING subscribers. Every day, every hour, we have several new subscribers which we know are NOT JHJ fans. For one thing, their USERNAMES

The cast and crew of "49 Days" had a celebration dinner on May 20, right after the conclusion of the drama the night before.  This is the restaurant where they had dinner:     Lee Yo-Won's fans on DC sent 350,000KRW's (about US0) worth of Korean steak, cakes, and flowers.   Above information is from a LYW website www.leeyowon.cn - Many thanks!.  We have to resort to scouring for JHJ news from another actor's website because his KOW is sleeping on

    2011.03.23          jiwon04@mdtoday.co.kr (English translation by wulijohyunjae) Lingering regret over "49 Days" finale - Even re-runs arouse a lot of attention Many viewers are already demanding re-run of the "happy ending" of "49 Days". The drama's run is over, but many viewers have expressed their disappointment and regret.  On May 22, after the broadcast of Episodes 19 and 20, viewers' concern became greater than before. Re-run of the drama is imminent, and in all the main portal sites [in Korea], the

    The last word on "49 Days" * I was going to leave these comments on the OPEN FORUM, but they got longer and longer as I got more and more worked up. Let me state categorically that I am first and foremost a JHJ fan, so I am naturally biased in his favour.  I have seen a couple of Lee Yo-Won's previous dramas, and I have a soft spot for any actress who has worked with JHJ.  I

Most of JHJ's clothes in "49 Days" are sponsored.  We're sure these clothing companies will sell a lot with JHJ modelling their products.  Everybody thinks they'll look like this!   The following 3 photos are really funny: the little one in the middle shows the whole of JHJ, the first one advertises the jacket and the third one the jeans -- different companies.  Jeans are the same as in first photo above.     JHJ sports the trench coat look

    Here are the last 2 episodes of "49 Days" with only the JHJ parts.  Many thanks to Coffee of johyunjae.hk for doing all JHJ fans this great service!   Episode 19 Episode 20   (Credit: www.tudou.com; Coffee of www.johyunjae.hk who also designed the poster. 

Deja vu?  Do some scenes in "49 Days" look familiar to you?  How many of those on the left (from JHJ's previous dramas) can you recognize?  Similar scenes from "49 Days" are on the right.

    NATE organized a voting competition while "49 Days" was broadcasting: Which scene touches the recesses of women's hearts more --  the scene of JIW kissing LYW on the forehead or the scene of JHJ embracing LYW?   We didn't think it's worth mentioning before because the skeptical side of us knew what the results would be.     And we're right!  Results -- 50% vs 50%!  We've never had much faith in the validity of these online voting.  The computer savvy fans

  2011.05.20    Korea Star Daily (English translation by wulijohyunjae) "Even though human beings know they can't escape death eventually, they still live like they will never die.  Because of your 49 days, we will live every day as if it is the last."   The SBS Wed./Thu. drama draws to a close on May 19.  The plot development takes a dramatic turn at the very end, but the theme it expresses is a little heavy to most viewers. Ji-Hyun (NGR) falls into a

This is a new MV on "49 Days", set to the song "Stupid Goodbye":   YOUTUBE:  http://youtu.be/kqekMb_oJx4   What is "stupid goodbye"?  Ji-Hyun (NGR) not saying goodbye to Han Kang (JHJ)?  The "49 Days" scriptwriter ending the drama like that?  In any case, "49 Days" is now over, and we're saying a long goodbye.     (Credit: http://gall.dcinside.com; http://club.brokore.com/sodonyo; www.johyunje.hk. 

JHJ's song in "49 Days" is still in the music charts in Korea - one month after its release on April 21. YOUTUBE: http://youtu.be/P_CMQV25we4   This is really an incredible achievement, considering JHJ is not a professional singer and there is no publicity to promote this song at all.  Competition is very fierce in the Korean music world.  This week 7 new OSTs entered the charts, but JHJ's OST is still at #10 on the OST Popularity Poll.   and #56
