Park Han Byul Chops Hair for New Drama!

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Park Han Byul is sporting a new look for her role in upcoming drama A Well Grown Daughter. This is the first time she's cut her hair since debuting.




In the drama Park plays the role of Jang Ha Na who was raised as a boy to inherit the family business. The drama will run on SBS starting on December 2, 2013.

OP's comments: The drama seems interesting and the premise of being raised as a boy instead of just being a boyish girl is new. I'm never excited for Park Han Byul as an actress but the new short do really suits her a lot!

Color me intrigued. It's been awhile since there's been a crossdressing drama and even though I'm not a big PHB fan, the premise looks interesting and expect a lot of 'am i gay' shenanigans.

It doed suit her...even if she is ridiculously pretty

cute girl with short hair? count me in. The drama seems interesting though, if she was raised as a boy does it mean she believes she's a boy or something like that? I'm confused lol

[canxi.livejournal.com]

I would believe so. Maybe not physically since she can see herself, lol, but mentally she might think herself a boy. But, of course not a lot of info is out yet. If anything new pops up I will post it!

It's telling that she doesn't have a boy's name (it seems like), so I'm guessing that wasn't her family's original intention (to raise her as a boy) and something born out of circumstance.

I wish they'd do a drama with a boy crossdressing as a girl..If pledis were smart they would've made ren keep his hair blonde and tried to shoot the idea to some company

You're in luck. They have done this! It's called My Boy, I believe. It was pretty short--less than 10 episodes-- and ran on a cable channel geared for teens. Pretty sure it's subbed in English.

Yeah I heard about it but it didnt really look that good....

[canxi.livejournal.com]

It's only 3 episodes, I would give it a try.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

It was cute and only 3 episodes

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

Do you know where to find it? I'm intrigued. :D

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Yep, like the other person said, it seems youtube is the best place. :)

Damn, I read this three hours ago and three hours later I watched the whole thing. Super adorable. Why don't we get more guy-crossdressing-as-girl concepts? Ma Boy was super cute.

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Haha, it's probably harder for the older guys to do it. Still it'd be pretty cool if they tried.

[sunnydlita.livejournal.com]

lol, GD was already like 23 or 24 when he did it for Secret Big Bang and I swear it was FREAKY how pretty he looked as a girl. Total mind-eff.

[canxi.livejournal.com]

GD is pretty androgynous though,lol. Not a lot of actors I see in that light or pulling that off.

[missaoki.livejournal.com]

Lookin' good

[anathema-switch.livejournal.com]

I kind of hate this because I've seen this in the summary of too many bad fic -_-. Presumably this will be better written though. Not sure how I feel about 'raised as a boy.'

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

She looks really pretty with short hair.....but another one of these dramas?

[bumie.livejournal.com]

I don't mind , those kind of dramas ARE my thing .
she looks amazing with short hair

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

I'm here for this! Plus she actually looks like a super cute boy and not obviously a girl with short hair.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

She looks great, I'm jealous of people who can pull off short hair. But her lovely locks ;;

[hibaalhadid.livejournal.com]

it looks good, I'm interested
do we have a release date?

[canxi.livejournal.com]

The 2nd of next month. I'll add it to the post.

I hope they don't do something like "oh she's raised as a boy and she thinks of herself as a boy but as soon as another boy comes along suddenly she wants to be a girl and wants to have long hair act more feminine because anyone who doesn't fit the gendernorm just needs dick to correct themselves" but I don't have faith in kdramas.

She looks cute with the shorter hair though.

I'm kinda sad by the sexism still in SK.... You have to be (or raised) a boy to inherit the company?? What???

[canxi.livejournal.com]

I choose not to draw too many conclusions from drama plots but I'm sure there are people there who are stuck in that kind of past thinking for sure. Does everyone agree? Most likely not.

[cuizy.livejournal.com]

yeah, I suppose I'm jumping to conclusions too..... but I've seen this a lot in Chinese novels and Asian dramas..... it just bothers me that this thinking is 'the norm' and if a girl becomes the CEO it's a big exception.....

[batterydead.livejournal.com]

wow she beaut

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

She looks cute.
