The male lead, Bae Yong Jun, from the Korean drama "Winter Sonata" arrived in Japan yesterday to a huge flock of screaming (female) fans waiting at the airport. According to the morning show "Toku da ne" he had a larger reception than Tom Cruise (500 fans), Soccer/Football star Beckham (400), and the Harry Potter dude (3000) with a whopping 5,000 fans.
"Toku da ne"'s announcer seemed pleased that Japan's fans were finally giving a Korean actor such a warm welcome, considering how crazy fans are for Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt.
I have also been surprised at how popular "Winter Sonata" has become over here (Japan). The other day at the bookstore, the section for foreign films and entertainment was mostly magazines about Korean dramas, many of them with Bae Yong Jun's face on the cover. Four months ago when "Winter Sonata" was being re-broadcast on NHK, I remember seing one or two magazines, but nothing like what I saw the other day.

LOL. I listened to Palmy's songs from your link. I like it, her voice is relaxing. I want her album. She probably has a few which one do you suggest on buying first?

Good question, I really don't know, most of the sites I found about her are in Thai that I can't read. I've only listened to stuff of hers I found on the web. I think she only has a couple CDs out. I'd buy one if I could find it around here.
Man, those actresses you are posting are gorgeous.
