Julie's A-List

Below are my A-list of Beau, oh well just actors or singer whom I really like & has been keeping tab on.  (Whenever I'm free that is hiaks)

Birth Name: Jang Yung-jun (Jang Hyeok)

D.O.B: 20/12/1976

Height: 177

First saw him on the show "A Success Story of a Fine Girl" together with Jang Nara.  There was this charasmatic in him which captures my mind & heart eventhough he was quite a useless, dependant spoilbrat during the beginning of the drama.  Which of course eventually with the help of "Yang Soon" aka Jang Nara", our Mr "Gi Tae" aka Jang Hyeok build up his chracter into a strong-will power & independant man. 
 
This show really kept him on not only my mind but the mind of my friends who had watch the above drama. He's really a star of his own character who would never get you tired with his thousand image & look!  Thats his strong point in this entertainment industry.  He's both a singer & an actor spotted by a star agent during his school days.  But I think he's more onto rap songs at this moment, think I would prefer to stick to his drama for the moment. 
 
Anyway keep it up, Jang Hyeok!  Ganbate!!  Woops!

Name: Yoo Ji-Tae
 
D.O.B: 13/4/1976
 
Height: 186
 
 
First watched his movie Ditto, a few years ago.  He is one fine cool dude with a mystic look due to his single eyelid (Well, not to hide the fact that his look kinda resemble my ex boyfriend too! Hiaks!)  He was formerly a model before becoming an actor 5years ago and was one of the few movie actor who choose his career path solely on acting while singing is not on his list as yet.  
 
Not all his movie were as acceptable towards my liking e.g Nightmare flimed in 2000 which seems rather ridiculous to me with regards to the story plot & scene in the movie seeming to imitate scenes from "The Ring".  Thats the humerous part I guess!  One Fine Spring Day was abit slow for me though or prehaps it was just Lee Young-Ae whom I'm jealous of, hiaks!  Next was his Natural City which was a total flop though he spent 2 good years fliming on it & training on his martial art for this movie (Its not his fault but the so-call science fic movie lack of scientific explanation & too many jumble here & there without any explanation to the audience by the director).  Followed by Into the Mirror a mild horror korean flick which was more recommendable for the base of stories as he sloves the mystery one by one.  Has yet to watch his Oldboy. Anyway, hope to see more good movie out from him again.  Meanwhile just gonna rely on his modelling pictures update from magazine then!

Name: Jang Nara
 
D.O.B: 18/03/1981
 
Height: 163
 
Her performance in "Myung Rang Suh Nyuh" (Success Story of a Fine Girl) caught my attention.  Her cute look with her strong, straightforwardness character in the show really caught all of our eyes right from the beginning.  She's somehow a real from the reel, thats how I felt about her.  Little gesture with her nose whenever she's clueless in the show makes us laugh with joy all the time.  
 
She's sweet with a little boyish 'feel' plus her cute factor, which kinda knock us out & look forward to watch her show one after another.  She's both a singer & actress, some of her songs are pretty nice too. 
Her character in the shows kinda reminds me of myself hiaks!   
 

kinki3.jpg

Name: Domoto Tsuyoshi
 
D.O.B: 10/04/1979
 
Height: 167
 
He was formerly a member of Johnny junior before forming a Duo called "Kinki Kid" with his partner Koichi (on the left).  Though he's only in his early twenties but Tsuyoshi had been in the entertainment line in Japan for more than 10years.  From acting, singing all the way to hosting Television show, being a fame chatterbox artist in Japan during press conference or telebi show, he's a real funny guy with a sense of humour.  Got to pay attention to his acting skill when I got the vcd for Kyoko Fukada's "To Heart" with him as the lead actor. 
He's cute & has a weird sense of humour (at least thats what I saw from his interview & shows).  Ganbate Tsuyoshi-chan!!!!

Name : Fukada Kyoko
 
D.O.B : 11/02/1982
 
Height : 163
 
Had watched quite a number of her drama hence I totally forgot which was the first one.  Her sweet, adorable character in most of her show attracts not only myself but my whole family as we all adores her like a imouto (little sister) at home.  Few of the unforgettable show would be with one of my favourite actor Takeshi Kaneshiro at "God, please give me more time".  And of course one of my favourite, "To Heart" with Domoto Tsuyoshi.  Her running style is something which no one could imitate, and its either you like it or hate it, we simply just laugh over it for thats the cute part about her.  She has done with a lot of commercial in Japan & acted in a Korean-Japanese drama with Won Bin named "Friends" (see picture below).  She had singles too but I think I would prefer to stick to her drama for the time being.

Name : Kaneshiro Takeshi
 
D.O.B : 11/10/1973
 
Height : 179
 
First saw him almost a decade ago when he had his first Mandarin album and while I was still a schoolgal.  He was so ever charming looking hence he was like a Prince charming amongst most of our heart.  He started to focus on acting as year passes by & moved on to the Japanese market at the later part of his career making a name for himself being a multi-lingua actor who is of half Japanese/half Taiwanese heritage.  His look sure matured alot over the years but the charm remains & seems to have got even better as age catches up.

Name: Manabu Oshio

 

D.O.B: 06/05/1978

 

Height: 186

 

 
 
Born in but breed in LA, absorbing the American culture & setting out his career path & breaking into the Japanese market in 1998. He's both a singer & actor in with his rock band named Liv while he's known as an actor with a character of his own. Some people may find him too cool to be approached as he is a star of his own style. Only got to know this actor cum singer when he acted in a drama called Marriage of a twenty year old as a cool leading dude in the show back in 2000. Hope to see more of his work soon as hes putting in more effort towards his music career & rumour had it that NHK is planning to shoot their own version or Meteor Garden drama with Oshio as the leading actor
