It has premiered in Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, at the London Korean Film Festival in England and Scotland, and in Indonesia, Taiwan, and Japan. There is no telling where else this bird is going to land, so everyone be on the lookout.
We’ve heard directly from CJ Entertainment about the upcoming R2B DVD for North America. As soon as they finish relaying the particulars, we’ll be able to bring all of the information to you, so everyone sit tight.

SONG OF THE WEEK: “Memory in My Hand / Shou Ji / 手記”, Rain’s 2006 collaboration with Pantech China to market their latest cellular phone series. After all, when it came to making a phone popular, Rain was a shoe-in. And having someone’s images and information in your phone is literally having their memory in your hand.

Rain is Eternal. Where clouds stay gathered, rain will always come. It is inevitable.

I need for him to get married and have 5 gorgeous girls so I can squee over how cute he is with them and stuff. I just want him to be happy but I hear there’s lots of unhappy fan girls. This is sad, considering most of us are grown women. Tsk.

Hey, Diva.
Yes, there are some unhappy hearts out there. But they will eventually get over it–or they won’t. I just hope everyone now leaves the couple alone, so that their romance will have a chance to blossom.
And so they can have all of those gorgeous daughters Rain wants to have and spoil, right? And the idea of being able to spoil Rain’s children rotten just makes me grin. His Clouds will make those girls incorrigible. Ha ha ha. :-}
Then again, we are getting WAY ahead of ourselves, as it looks like they’ve only been “officially going out” for about a month now. Seriously, how hard that must be. He’s in the Army and has to squeeze in time to be with her. I imagine they talk a lot online and on the phone. But still, tough.

I didn’t see anyone mention this, so here goes……..Daniel Henney (Kai from Fugitive: Plan B) was on my favorite American TV show—Hawaii Five-0! He is a member of a crime family who is transitioning to becoming a legitimate business entity. He was just released from a prison stint, so they had him looking all gangstery (like that’s a REAL word) LOL

Vicki,
I saw that the other day. I don’t watch Hawaii Five-O (or much American TV at all, actually), so I did not realize he had been cast in that. My family said it was a good show though. So, maybe I should check it out?
Thanks for the tip.

Hey Vicki,
I watch Hawaii Five-O from time to time and also knew Daniel was on there, but I haven’t seen it in a while. Alex O’Loughlin (hope I spelled the last name right) who plays McGarrett used to be on Moonlight (vampire tv series). I used to love his “vampire” but the show was taken off the air shortly after that writer’s strike two/three years ago.
One of my FB friends Kelvin Han Yee is a character actor in LA and has been on an episode of Hawaii Five-O, playing the police captain. I have yet to be able to catch that particular episode (it was the first or second season….I believe).

Vicki,
Hey, you didn’t mention Ian Anthony Dale was on this little clip too!! I think he’s sexy as well. There’s something about him I find quite attractive too. Yes, my taste in men hits the age old three notes MOST of the time 1) Tall 2) Dark 3) Handsome/Pretty…..but I’ll add the 4) Sexy voice to the list too. If I can imagine that sexy voice in my ear in the middle of the night……you are “in like Flynn” buddy!

You betta believe I didn’t miss him at all—didn’t know his name……LOL. I loved the fact that they brought him into H50 as a bad boy seeking redemption and that he ended up in love with a woman in law enforcement. I found him to be all the things you mentioned in your post……..that is a GREAT (Tony Tiger voice) package presented for our enjoyment!
