Hello Yuna. glad to hear your comments about jwhime's works present and past. FYI, 101's was original jp script written somewhere in 1970 and was a mega hit was it was screened in Japan and worldwide. In 2003, Jp despatched as a gift to China to be produced with Mainland Chinese Actors, Actresses Hongkong Actors, Actresses and Taiwan Actors and Actresses - dont know what happened that it ended up with majority of Mainland Chinese Actors & Actresses except for the main male actor, Shun Xin whose's Hongkong & British citizen though he was active in Hongkong for awhile b4 he hit for Chinese Mainland. The original story was very simple and concentrated on main actress and main actor and minority cast. Somehow, when it landed in Mainland China it became an UN production - Hk Director, Korean Camerman, Jp Screen writer, Mainland Chinese producer(I think so) - the cast was Korean, Taiwaneses, Mainland Chinese in majority. Many new miniseries was created and squeezed into this original story thus making it very dragging and distorted. Taiwan Entertainment Taoz'er interviewed Shun Xin and he professed that Jwhime is very professional & serious in her work and helping others to capture the emotion. It was then she was recalled by her agent manager to rush back to Korea to shoot STH which produced very good results.

101's was NOT able to play in Korea other than Asia countries as its previous agent manager did not realise a violation of agreement to pay to China Mainland when they intend to play in Korea - so it became an history as noone in Korea got the chance to see it. Instead Jp bought everything from China Mainland including the media, magz, NGs and rights to show it in Japan - it did not garner good result as expected.

Rondo came along as TBS was celebrating its 50th Anniversary and Jwhime was chosen to play the female main role. It is due to Hallyru intensified in Japan that the jp scriptwriter decided to write a story of the two countries who are facing tension and differences up to now. It opened with a 20% TV rating which had never happened to TBS's any jp tv drama for 16 years. So the couple become a talking point and won many viewers for their fantastic and sizzling performances. Hr there were aplenty of "faulsify" rumours about jwhime for the past four months shooting in Japan which Ueta san, Rondo AP San defended and thrashed the jp rumours mongers endlessly.

Jwhime did had a rough patch whilst shooting the Rondo flooded with "ulgy" rumours did not dissipated. At the completion, the jp survey found that jp mina in the 20's supported the new image of Jwhime created in Rondo. Furthermore, Yeon riji opened on 15th April which was remained a strong contender holding box offices for last three weeks in jp top chart.

Pray that all fans or non viewers will give an opportunity to watch Jwhime's works(which I had followed since the Truth, BD, Mr Duke, Nowhere to Hide, EHAS, Romantic President, etc.,) she continues to prove to us that she worked doubly hard in each of her work. We appreciate it very much and hope you will continue to do so.
