TaNyang Weekly (14/12/2014) ~ TaNyang's Haven

Apologies for skipping TaNyang Weekly last week as we’re busy by everything else and on cloud nine last Sunday. *excuse* So here we will recap whatever happened these past 2 weeks.

1. For once JiJi ship looks like sailing at the right direction last Sunday (7/12). Two Ha Ji Won’s fans from abroad spotted her watching musical “The Days” at the front row (VIP). Not only watching, but according to the fans, Ha Ji Won also went to Ji Chang Wook’s dressing room and still talked to each other after the musical. The said fans also captured some pictures and videos to prove. Happy dance for us!! Ha Ji Won reported went to the musical with her manager and staffs. The fishy thing, not one person in Korea took their picture or any article pointed out Ha Ji Won’s attendance. Usually Ji Chang Wook or Ha Ji Won’s staffs quite open on their IGs, even JiJi themselves should snap a selca. But there’s no pic from them. Korean fans also not gave their attention to her, Ha Ji Won! A-list actress and his co-star, yet no one bother? Or just it becomes open secret for everyone in Korea that JiJi is dating? Okay, that part is purely speculation, don’t believe in our words until we get confirmation from them... But it’s fun to speculate, ain’t it?

2. Before “The Days” spectacular news, Ha Ji Won was doing opening pitch for HOPE Charity Baseball Match on Dec 7. She wore cute beanies, shirt and fitted jeans. She looked so happy at the event and even hugged some kids. To do opening pitch is considered an honor and she was there with other celebrities, lookes like she was having fun at the baseball match.

3. On Dec 4, busy Ji Chang Wook as usual, attended “Healer” Press Conference and “The Days” drawing event (to determine the seats for “The Days” fan event). What I can gather from the two events is that Ji Chang Wook was really REALLY handsome in AD HOC clothes, a grey checkered outercoat, a vest, necktie and white shirt. He really shined through during the press conference. He also talked a bit about Ha Ji Won, saying that he remembers her as being very bright and cheerful on the set and he wants to learn that. “...When I saw Ha Ji Won always smiling even when it was tiring during ‘Empress Ki’, I thought to myself that I ought to learn from that. That kind of appearance gives strength to the people around and makes it enjoyable,” said him. Okay, HJW seems to inspire her to be more cheerful on the set. Can’t fault him when he practically always with cheerful Ha Ji Won during 8 months of EK filming. (JCW Kitchen)

4. As you know that “Healer” is airing on KBS2, when Ha Ji Won was in Vietnam she gave hints that she will do a KBS project very soon. News came out this week that she will join as the fist guest of new variety show “Invisible Man” that plans to be the variety show version of drama “Misaeng”. Ha Ji Won will filming on Dec 19 and while this variety show will start broadcasting January next year. The “Invisible Man” have some famous MCs such as Kang ho dong (Strong heart,Golden Fishery), Haha/Ha Dong Hoon, BTOB's Sungjae, singer Kim Bum Soo, M.I.B's Kangnam, and model Park Sung Jin. So our TaNyang/JiJi couple now migrate to KBS? (ladykate)

5. Ha Ji Won released Ha Ji Won’s Secret 2nd and 3rd trailer as well as the poster. Well, the sexy poster. One thing for sure, the photographer (Mr.Photographer from Taiwan) knows how to take her pictures well, elegant and beautiful. You can buy Ha Ji Won’s Secret Photobook via Tower Shibuya Japan. You can read here for the instructions.

6. “Chronicle of A Blood Merchant” (COABM) and “Healer”, two JiJi’s acting project right now have been doing well. “Healer” premiered on Dec 8 with 7.8% ratings nationwide, while COABM is to be released for the next month. As predicted, Ji Chang Wook is very cool as awesome no.1 courier “Healer” Seo Jung Hoo. On the other hand Ha Ji Won already looks her part as mother of three sons in COABM with onscreen husband Ha Jung Woo. But still, they looks like uncle and niece for me from the stills alone, although I know they will have awesome chemistry in movie. Please continue to support JiJi as Healer Seo Jung Hoo in “Healer” and Heo Ok Ran in COABM!

7. Amidst “Healer” premiere, an outdoor clothing brand from North Europe somewhere released BTS pictures of its model, Ji Chang Wook. I don’t have any energy to write more about it, so just enjoy the picture. (rianse naver blog)

8. Ha Ji Won also will hold 1st Asian Tour – Singapore FM on January 10 next year. The tickets are almost sold out right now and proves even further how popular Ha Ji Won is in Asia. Here’s the promo poster for the event.

9. “Empress Ki” received Highly-Commended (runner up) for Best Drama Series at Asian Television Awards 2014 held in Singapore on Dec 11. I don’t even know it was nominated so it’s nice surprise to know the drama gets critical acclaim internationally, even when Korean judges and voters almost forget by its existence. Just a warning not to get your hopes up, “Empress Ki” won’t be nominated in anything at MBC Drama Awards 2014 since the drama already won last year. The drama already won many awards at MBC DA last year, including a Daesang for Ha Ji Won and Excellence Actor for Ji Chang Wook. Let’s remember the best they can get, right?

10. Since JiJi quite busy updating Instagram these 2 weeks, so I just compile them here. Keywords from Ha Ji Won’s updates: wine, christmas, sexy ladies as border/frame and Astroboy and The Troll. Keywords from Ji Chang Wook: Healer, Seo Jung Hoo, Park Min Young, Eternal Love, cold. Yes, cold. He has complained about cold 4 times in 2 months, including the latest update yesterday. Math of the day: Using probability theory, how many more will he say ‘cold’ during “Healer” filming? LOL. Also don’t forget about his screencap about “Healer” OST by Michael Learns To Rock – “Eternal Love”... Instagram Updates:
