just a comment on ‘Daisy’ i think its didnt succeed because jihyun image was way diff than her image in my sassy girl. thats all. she got famous because of msg and so they should hav adopted that character to her other movies. that funky kind of jihyn everybody likes most.make her act like a cute girl, or a assexy or idt ok to watch. just not mature looking jihyun. should have changed her hairsyle too. honestly she looks older when she has curly hair.
December 7th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
Well Iama… she can’t stay like the sassy girl forever, she has to try something new, always.
