Do you know, once upon a time, I didn't understand the fuss over Lee Dong Gun. I saw him as the admittedly nice other guy in Sang-Do and he registered zip on my Rain-fixated radar (Rain played the lead). I didn't think he was particularly hot or charismatic or anything (though not ugly or dull either). Just the usual 'other guy.' But then I saw pictures of If in love...like them and went 'guuuuuuuuh' and then I got my hands on the movie My Boyfriend is Type B and was GONE. (I should have disliked his protagonist, who is a cheerful jerk, but instead I adored him because of the sheer charisma and peeks of vulnerability. The movie's total fluff worked because of the cast). And then followed Sweet 18 where I saw three eps and fell for the drama and his proper but very sweet DA very hard (and now am waiting until my better subbed copy gets there).
I think it's a combination of things. One is that he (like Matsuda Shota and Oguri Shun who gained in hotness between Hanadan1 and 2) grew into his looks as he got older, as Sang-Do is an old drama (and also lost a little weight, and yeah, I am shallow, but I love the cheekbones). And two? I don't know whether he suddenly acquired charm to burn or whether he had it before and I was too blinded by Rain but yeah...psycho charisma.
What is the point of the above ramble?
I present you a huge picspam of Korean drama Stained Glass, on my very short list of dramas to watch (true love, childhood friendship, identity loss, all the other good stuff). I say 'picspam' but what I mean is that the photographer clearly considered it his duty, instead, to see how many ways you could shoot Lee Dong Gun looking awesome in business and casual wear. The answer? A heck of a lot.
There are over 80 pics behind the cut, so be warned. It's worth it, though.
Looking like models for a clothes brand I could never afford:
LDG with the Heroine. The both look suitably fashionable in their studied elegant disinterest:
Two LDGs for the price of one. That's a happy world right there:
If you keep on doing the mouth thing, I am going to combust:
The guy who is not LDG and Heroine:
Is your hotness choking you?
Awwww, with a side of super-awwww:
How long can you photograph LDG leaning against the wall in a suit and still keep my attention? Very long:
Especially when you decide to alternate with casual wear (are they even pretending that they aren't doing a LDG shoot any more and still insist this is the shoot for the drama?)
Studio Couple portrait:
Grrrrrrl power:
By slowly working her way to her lips, the Heroine hopes LDG will take a hint:
Being fast on the uptake, LDG is happy to follow suit:
*permit me to die of glee a little*
I love the pretty colors:
You've come a long way from Sang-Do, baby:
I love the shadows and the composition:
Though the guy is not bad either :D
Lee Dong Gun, Heroine and Trotsky:
One thing more awesome than LDG? LDG with a small child:
Awww, so college looking:
And tall:
Lee Dong Gun uses a gun. Sorry, I know I know, I couldn't help it:
The wall of hot:
OT3?
Not!LDG, you always lose the girl!
But I can see why:
I mean, sorry honey, but can you compete with this?
I:
thought:
not:
'Must not fall off tiny bench:'
And artistically prop wall like the unemployed are stereotypically supposed to do:
No wonder she is happy to be with him:
I have expired from the otp hotness:
Oooooh:
Child versions:
Oh man, this pic makes me faint on the floor, what with the suit and the vulnerability expressed in the gesture:
Grown-ups:
I guess I must have pics of the other guy. Only fair. But am sadly not interested in him:
Auditioning for Full House:
More OT3:
Lucky heroine:
Why lucky? Because of this (they look similar to ones above but trust me, they are different. I am sad enough to tell that fact):
84 pics. I think I exhausted the LDG pic quota for the year.

Date: 2007-06-16 02:08 am (UTC)The drama itself is not so much as satisfying (in my opinion, although it served its purpose when I watched it). But. Lee Dong-gun in a suit is pretty much reason enough. (And yeah, the kiss in the snow was very pretty, too.):)

Date: 2007-06-18 03:20 pm (UTC)wow, I am convinced...
Date: 2007-06-16 02:23 am (UTC)...btw...how many dramas has this dude been in?!Lol
I've seen a grand total of 2 episodes of full house- so I am not sure I like him a lot...but love the picspam. Was thinking of watching if in love...like them and maybe I will now:P
Btw, what is the storyline of Stained Glass...it looks confusing:P
Re: wow, I am convinced...
Date: 2007-06-18 03:20 pm (UTC)Do you mean LDG or 'the other guy' (the one who was in Full House)?
Storyline is that the three are childhood friends than LDG is presumed drowned and the other two grow up and then the girl runs into LDG who has been brought up by Japanese.
Re: wow, I am convinced...
