1. Meant to be Triplets


Say Cheese! A Smiley Comparison
(From Q to P, Joo Ji Hoon, Lee Ji Hoon, Jung Il Woo)

Joo Ji Hoon of Princess Hours fame, Lee Ji Hoon from New Heart and Jung Il Woo from upcoming Iljimae.

Lee Ji Hoon in New Heart
When I first saw Lee Ji Hoon in New Heart, I really thought it was Joo Ji Hoon playing a cameo as himself. With specs, he bore a striking resemblence to Joo. He also has Joo’s sunny smile. Up close, he has a rounder face and thicker lips than Joo Ji Hoon, who has a leaner, meaner face and can carry off a more rugged look. Lee Ji Hoon is no newbie in the entertainment scene – he was a singer before turning actor and his recent foray into TV began in 2004. Apparently, he has been around for 12 years.

I discovered Jung Il Woo when checking up on MBC’s Iljimae. He is the choice of replacement for Lee Seung Gi who backed out due to scheduling conflicts (all-purpose excuse for everything). Before seeing him in costume, I thought won’t it be a disaster? Now I’ve changed my mind. He doesn’t look half bad. At least we know this Iljimae won’t be a Lee Jun Ki or Lee Seung Gi vehicle.


2. N’Parks- Not Quite Twins but Good enough to be Brothers

Park Hae Jin from Infamous Princesses and Park Shi Hoo from Iljimae.

Now we know who to cast if we want a pair of brothers with realistic degree of familial resemblence. Hae Jin has puppy dog eyes with a warm, playful aura. Shi Hoo has narrower eyes with a serious, edgy aura. He completely blew me away in Iljimae. A major reason for the female population to watch the show inspite of its campiness. Hae Jin is sexy in a youthful, earthy, understated way. Shi Hoo is just plain sexy. Hot Hot Hot!
