Lee Byung Hun is back

Leebyunghun_20080418_popseoul

Finally, Lee Byung Hun is coming back to brown screen after five years. He will be staring in the high budgeted drama IRIS, which is expected to air at the end of the year.

Do you think that Lee Byung Hun will live up to the $20 mil they are spending on this drama?  It’s been so long since I saw All-in, that I’m not sure if he still has the magic touch.  What do you think?

    LBH would make any film, TV show, or event worth watching.

  5. 5 ilikekpop April 18, 2008 at 9:26 pm

    He WILL make the drama success…I believe it…

    im not really into him. i think he’s too old or he looks too old.ahhaaha.
    not looking forward to see him in a romantic scene.
    it will remind me of my dad.ahhahaha.
    he has too many wrinkles on his face.

    o well, it’s only my opinion.

    i’m sure he has the magic touch. Everything he’s been in, has been great… (except for that earlier role…. Everybody Has Secrets >.< )

    IRIS…. it’s interesting…
    ‘cos SHK Engrish name: IRIS….. too..

    ^I think you’re reading too much into it.

    But I don’t care, I’m just esctactic that the man is returning to the small screen!! That’s many, many episodes (well, 16 at least) I can just drown myself in his charismastic on-screen coolness… yep, coolness- there isn’t any other word that could better describe it XP

    i love watching this man act!

    I do feel that he’s one of the actors who’s actually worth the money to pay for in a drama/movie.

    =)

    i hope to see sung yuri as the main actress in this drama with lee byung hun, just dont know why, and hope that my wish will be granted, haha.

  12. 12 Michelle April 18, 2008 at 10:52 pm

    looking forward to it! all the best to Mr Lee!!

  13. 13 Mike April 18, 2008 at 10:52 pm

    He’s old and has short legs.
    Not my type.
    He said he don not like Japanese people.
    But he kept on coming to japan to woe japanese women
    and japanese yen..heh..plastic.

  14. 14 lily April 18, 2008 at 10:56 pm

    i hope SHK will be his partner for this drama..

  15. 15 xueminn April 18, 2008 at 11:18 pm

    looks better than ever! can’t wait for his new drama or movie or whatever!

  16. 16 Dumpling April 18, 2008 at 11:37 pm

    This may greatly interest you LBH fans. I came across it by accident, and I’m not a fan….but, you fans will love it:

    (That’s him in white)

    All In was one of my fav dramas! But not because of him! haha. He’s alright~ i always thought he kinda looked too ahjushi~

  18. 18 Avril April 19, 2008 at 12:17 am

    Can’t wait to see his drama too. I thought he would never do TV series since he’s in American movie though

  19. 19 han April 19, 2008 at 12:24 am

    I’m not his fan and i didn’t know he’s that famous ( and popular)

  20. 20 SZA April 19, 2008 at 12:44 am

    omg..i lov him..whatever it is, im goin to watch that drama for sure..

  21. 21 this show April 19, 2008 at 1:43 am

    IRIS sounds awful lot like that rumored TV remake of SHIRI for many years. it’s finally happening!

  22. 22 Ange April 19, 2008 at 1:44 am

    Please get Choi Ji Woo as the leading lady. They have good on-screen chemistry.

  23. 23 Song April 19, 2008 at 2:20 am

    Yeah, he’ll be great. he’s an awesome actor and will always be one.

  24. 24 yuri April 19, 2008 at 3:25 am

    i don’t know…evertime i watch one of his dramas he seems dull

  25. 25 Lulia April 19, 2008 at 3:28 am

    AURIGHT! OPPA HWAITING !D

  26. 26 lavy April 19, 2008 at 3:29 am

    thank you for the news! i look forward to seeing him again :)

  27. 27 just saying April 19, 2008 at 3:58 am

    Did he dump SHK because he wanted to get marry quick but SHK refused? Five years on, is he married yet?

  28. 28 lYlY April 19, 2008 at 4:10 am

    @just saying April 19, 2008 at 3:58 am

    “Five years on, is he married yet?”

    >>>>> not yet…. legally.

  29. 29 okeydoke April 19, 2008 at 4:40 am

    LOVED him inallin
    he def. has some special charisma

    he’ll make the new series a success for sure.

  30. 30 GIJOE April 19, 2008 at 5:18 am

    just saw his costume fitting as Storm Shadow. it’s a bit sad to see him aged so much now, compared to just a few years ago. (Yes he’s a good actor, but looks are such a big part of his appeal, right?)

    i think he started a hardcore workout for I Come With the Rain, and it made his skin leathery and stiff. Now the Storm Shadow pix make him look like some generic, expressionless cheesy Asian action-guy in the role. Dammit Hollywood!

  31. 31 hannah April 19, 2008 at 5:21 am

    i wish song hye gyo and him would’ve stayed together

  32. 32 millie April 19, 2008 at 5:46 am

    i thought song hae gyo and him were still together…wow, i’m so confused. i thought the whole divorce talk were rumors. oh well. althouhg, song hae gyo and rain in full house were not so bad either…
    anyway, wish lee byung hun the best in his comeback drama

  33. 33 spin April 19, 2008 at 6:30 am

    I kinda heard other rumors…didn’t SHK break up with LBH because he was too perverted?

  34. 34 jean April 19, 2008 at 7:05 am

    yayy!
    he was great in beautiful days and all in.
    love his dramas…. always goodd and addicting!

  35. 35 lunatic April 19, 2008 at 7:12 am

    so? then? whats great about it?

  36. 36 lunatic April 19, 2008 at 7:15 am

    @spin April 19, 2008 at 6:30 am

    I kinda heard other rumors…didn’t SHK break up with LBH because he was too perverted?

    Yes he was! thats why i hate him so much! He always wanted SHK get laid everytime they see each other! Good for kyo to finally dump this perv!

  37. 37 just saying April 19, 2008 at 8:23 am

    OMG, I didn’t know that!! He does look perverty to me!!
    He is a lot older than SHK right? What a dirty old man!!

  38. 38 swilliams April 19, 2008 at 8:32 am

    Lunatic how is that perverted?

  39. 39 SP April 19, 2008 at 8:50 am

    So I guess they should keep HIM away from all the young actresses… I was surprised to know that Song Hye Kyo dated this guy! For months!

  40. 40 Leigh April 19, 2008 at 8:56 am

    Good luck to him!

  41. 41 spin April 19, 2008 at 9:08 am

    @lunatic

    I wasn’t sure because it was a while ago. ugh. I remember reading about it on some fan cafe… and the details seemed kinda gross. & yes - definitely kudos to SHK for moving on!

  42. 42 -.- April 19, 2008 at 10:37 am

    when he smiles, you can see all his teeth.. he has a lot. i mean a lot. i know it has nothing to do with his come-back.. but i jsut wanted to point that out. haha

  43. 43 a pervert's teeth April 19, 2008 at 11:03 am

    is he the one rumored to get into every female costar’s pants, just because he can?

    i don’t know if his need for sex is really that perverted. most healthy men are sexual.

    maybe the starlets he dates are too young to enjoy sex…instead they talk trash about rain’s shrimp-sized bulge :P

  44. 44 thecolorgreen April 19, 2008 at 1:26 pm

    Girls! you make me laugh… what’s so perverted about wanting to have sex????? isn’t that how all hot blooded men want?

  45. 45 rarara April 19, 2008 at 1:58 pm

    you guys never said Lee Byung Hyun would be in GI JOE!!!!

  46. 46 just saying April 19, 2008 at 5:50 pm

    A relationship with no respect just sex sex and more sex is kinda tiring and domed.

  47. 47 Cassidy April 20, 2008 at 10:49 am

    Too bad there’s no Song Hye-Kyo … I heard that Iris is her english name.

  48. 48 tyche April 20, 2008 at 3:55 pm

    he’s great in A Bittersweet Life too! great job!

  49. 49 deeyoysee April 20, 2008 at 11:26 pm

    let’s just wait and see!

  50. 50 calla April 21, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    I don’t dislike him but I don’t particularly care for him either. His acting is ok, but as a “veteran”, Kim Rae Won surpass him by miles and miles. Anyone agree?

    “Miles and miles” of what? Imagination?

    Likewise.. KRW is alright for a younger actor but a comment like this is simply a tad bit arrogant.
