It is a good drama but people are into IRIS why I don’t know. As always LEE Jun KI’s acting is first rate and the drama may not garner a lot of viewings but an artist can’t expect that all his work will come out #1 . One can’t be on top everytime. FOr me I just look at the acting and how the artists portrayed their character and LEE JUN KI always delivers. He is just not one handsome face he could really act-and for crying out loud even if he just stand still and show his face on the screen I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT HIM for just being LEE JUN KI. FOREVER YOUR FAN & SUPPORTER… Stay as you are. We your fans adore you.

February 4th, 2010 at 6:31 am
His SMILE is the I said THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SMILE EVER and HIS GAZE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMG TANTALIZING..NEED I SAY MORE… LEE JUN KI -YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF BEAUTY FOR MALES.. JUST GAZE AT ME ONCE AND I CAN DIE HAPPILY. AND TO TOP THAT YOU ARE A SUPERB ACTOR TO BE ABLE TO PULL THAT CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE THE KING & THE CLOWN.. Doubting Thomasses of the world please watch that and you will see why he is what he is….WELL LOVED & RECEIVED ACROSS THE UNIVERSE. The world we live in is FREE so we are free to choose our IDOLS- and I CHOSE LEE JUN KI

He was indeed beautiful in the KIng…..movie. Handsome & beautiful are used interchangeably in the olden times. The native americans have handsome women-talking about the features and Europe then used handsome to descried females-like she is a handsome lady. So beautiful means just that beautiful and LJK is both beautiful & handsome. A PERFECT SPECIMEN an ADONIS and mind you ADONIS-the God is beautiful-like beautifully chiseled nose that’s LJK OMG I just can’t help it. I want to describe his facial features-SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PERFECT in EVERY WAY. I AM SO OVER THE TOP PEOPLE. PLZZ WATCH “HERO”. It is so underrated right now ad I just can’t fathom why
February 4th, 2010 at 4:28 am
I just watched HERO and wonder how people can’t appreciate acting is superb-story line is good. ANyway as long as LEE JUN KI is in it I couldn’t care less I’ll watch it over & over just to see is SMILE. THAT SMILE & SIDEWAYS GAZES are all I wanted to see. I’m in my Anthropology lecture and I wonder where did LEE JUN KI came from –HE IS JUST SO PERFECT.
February 4th, 2010 at 2:30 am
Lee Jun Ki has the most electrifying gaze I have seen and a million megawatts SMILE. I love him to death. I’ve watched him in Virgin Snow, Iljimae, and My Girl then HERO and I am just so hooked I have to see his FACE over & over again. My apologies LEE JUNKI –I borowed your handsome adorable face and put it as my wallpaper. I know I’m a stalker.SORRRRRRRYYYYYYYY

I think it movie is very perfect because lee junki is playing in it
December 24th, 2009 at 6:13 am
OMG, the ratings are so low for this drama. IRIS is really whipping this show. It is doomed. Will it really last 16 episodes, or will they cut their losses and end it sooner? Looks like a flop for Lee Jun-Ki. Too bad.

this movie is perfect when we can see it?
