Ok pardon me but I'm a little bored now...
I think this was from Yankee BNK right? But it also look like Sho's passport photo in RONDO.
Ok i really don't want to think so i'll be typing out the review that The New Paper published in 2006 regarding RONDO. Since we all kinda agree that he looks fantastic in that.

Lots of eye candy, but no focus
By Chang May Choon
Monday, 30 October 2006, THE NEW PAPER
RONDO
STARRING: Yutaka Takenouchi, Choi Ji Woo, Shin Hyun Jun
SHOWING ON: E City (StarHub Ch56), Mondays and Tuesdays, 11pm
RATING: 2.5 ticks out of 5 (in between Average [3] and Mediocre [2])
I was initially partial to Rondo because it stars my all-time favourite Japanese actor, Yutaka Takenouchi. But this mish-mash of Infernal Affairs-inspired mafia-cop action and Korean-style melodrama needs a lot more than just swooning at his chiselled face.
Confusion and boredom looms, given the sheer number of plot twists that culminate in a face-off between the two leads played by Yutaka (Beach Boys) and Korea's Choi Ji Woo (Winter Sonata). Some may consider that refreshing, but personally, I like my drama serials simple and straightforward. But here we get a confusing combination of action, suspense, family drama and romance all rolled into one serial. It's as if the scriptwriters cannot decide what to focus on, so they offer an all-inclusive buffet instead.
Although it sounded promising initially, they served up the dishes so slowly they ended up killing my appetite.
It all begins with a little boy, Sho, witnessing his father dying in the fire. To investigate the death he becomes a police mole when he grows up and infiltrates a yakuza (Japanese mafia gang). One day, he meets Yuna (Ji Woo), a Korean cook who has come to Tokyo with her sick younger sister to find their missing father. The couple fall in love despite initial misunderstandings, and it's cute to see them gesticulating to overcome their language barrier.
But things get complicated when a Korean gangster boss (Shin Hyun Jun) also gets drawn to Yuna and starts creating trouble at her small restaurant. Initially indignant, Yuna gets a shock when she finds out who hails from the same mafia clan. But the biggest and most absurd (some critics may call it ridiculous) twist awaits Sho. I won't divulge it here.
To be fair, the cast was well chosen with enough eye candy thrown in, and they play their roles well. But next to the discreetly polite and sleekly-dressed Japanese, the rough-talking Koreans just don't seem so appealing anymore. Especially when there is lanky heart-throb Hayami Mokomichi, who shines as the defiant yakuza heir, and the perennially suave Yutaka, of course.

Folks, I must be getting old. The download quality of "Boss" on line is just too hard on my eyeballs. I broke down and ordered a copy. Even if I only get to see him fleetingly, I want to have the power of PAUSE and DROOL.
Lotus, how many more days until "our" boyfriend Daniel is on the telly??
October 4 is the premiere. I can't wait.
Yea, I wouldn't mind getting coyote ugly on that fine piece of ahem...manly man!!
