Han Ye-seul (Anna Cho) Wins Over Detractors as Amnesiac Heiress

The character played by Han Ye-sul (24) in the MBC drama "Couple of Fantasy" is a kind of Korean Paris Hilton, and her catchphrase "Look at you..." is on everybody's lips. An audacious heiress, Ana Jo becomes a comic character with disordered hair and cheap clothes after losing her memory due to an accident. Han's popularity is soaring thanks to the attractive qualities she brings to the role of a haughty rich girl brought low.

"Aren't they cute? I mean Netizens. They say I was such an unattractive character but suddenly became so charming. Those anti-fans... They suddenly became big fans," Han laughs. Her clothes are unflattering, but they can't hide her beautiful chiseled face. "I am a completely different person from Ana Jo. In fact, I think I'm lovely, delicate and rarely get angry." Han says she never expected she would become this popular. "When I decided to play a character like Ana Jo, who is arrogant and haughty, I was ready for any criticism from viewers, but instead I'm getting very friendly responses and I was really surprised," she says. "When I see how popular characters like Ana Jo are, I realize that Korea is changing fast. The public is becoming more open-minded. It's cool. Such a mindset is important for us to develop, isn't it?" She has a tendency to answer a question with another question.

Han made her debut in entertainment when she won a super model contest. She became a star thanks to the rude and bizarre role she played in another MBC drama, "Non Stop," in 2004. Recently she spent a year off with her family in the U.S. "The reason why I had so many detractors was that I became a star so fast. Our citizens have a strong sense of justice." Isn't she afraid of spoiling her image by playing such a role? She is breaking down barriers step by step as Ana Jo. "I've been a star rather than an actress, and that's no good. Stars have an inflated image and a short lifespan. I want to be more passionate about my job and build my career so that I can act for a long time."

Complimented that her acting has greatly improved, she giggles and covers her mouth. "Really? It's so nice to hear that. I think I'm very lucky." She speaks English fluently and wants to enter the U.S. market too. Asked if she wants to follow in the footsteps of Kim Yun-jin, who is a star thanks to her part in the ABC hit series "Lost," she is quick to respond. "It's so childish to say I want to do better than someone else." Does she have a role model? "There are so many excellent actors and actresses out there... My job is acting, but I don't like watching dramas or movies, so I can't answer your question. It's ironic, isn't it?"

Couple or Trouble list of cast and characters

Here's a brief list of Couple or Trouble (Fantasy Couple) cast and characters:
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Eugene Jang
Jang Cheol-su
(Oh Ji-Ho)
1.He's a bachelor who raises his late brother's three sons.
He is the owner of Buheung E&C, a small-time construction company whose sign reads, “General Construction, Architecture, and Interior Design Co.” In reality, his company handles such trivial and menial projects as building neighborhood fences, setting up plastic greenhouses, renovating bathrooms and kitchens, and installing heaters. In his own words, Cheol-su is a “construction site multiplayer” who will take on any and every kind of work if it means getting paid.
He tries his best to earn money and looks for every opportunity to have cash.

2. Anna Cho
(Han Ye-seul)
She's a rich woman who buys anything she wants. When she was just seven years old, her parents died. Since her late father was a real estate bigwig, she was left with a massive fortune.
Her aging grandmother raised her but she also died when Anna was twelve-years old.
She was left with her relatives who drooled over her money and she became a spoiled and vain person. She's used to bossing everyone about including her husband Billy who secretly hates her. Billy and Anna don't have any children.

3. Billy Park – Kim Seong-min
(Yep, he's Joshua on Irene right?) ^^
Billy is Anna’s husband and the CEO of the massive real estate enterprise that she inherited. He has extraordinary acumen for the real estate M&A business.
His main area of expertise is hotels and resorts.
Although he was born into an ordinary family, he easily earned his MBA and law degree at Harvard thanks to his astonishing intellect and has since been riding the fast track to success.
He is a tremendously gifted entrepreneur, and a boss who enjoys the trust of his subordinates. He’s sensitive and considerate—a pretty great guy once you get to know him.
Having enjoyed unimpeded success, Billy can appear cold and calculating. But inside, he’s surprisingly subtle and emotional.
Or, to put it more bluntly, he’s rather touchy and small-minded.
For a man like Billy, a woman like Anna—who respects nothing, fears nothing, has not one iota of consideration for others, and only demands unquestioning devotion and dedication—is simply too hard to handle; she’s enough to give him a heart attack.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
4. Oh Yu-gyung – Played by Park Han-byeol
Beguiling men with looks so fragile that she might blow away on a wisp of wind, Yu-gyung is a representative example of the “damsel in distress” type that women despise.
She appears infinitely pure and innocent, but is in fact a tough cookie who knows how to get what she wants.
She knows that Cheol-su has been in love with her for a long time, but when he gets saddled with his nephews following his brother’s death, she turns her back on him as if oblivious to his feelings for her.
Still, after her engagement to a man with the perfect credentials gets broken off, she finds herself belatedly being drawn to the simple-hearted Cheol-su and regrets her past indifference.

What do you know, I think the one playing Anna's husband, Billy is the love interest of another hit Koreanovela "Irene". Remember that drama, about a girl who took revenge against her father for abandoning her and her mom when she was little. His name in that drama is Joshua, right? He was my crush back then. Oh Ji Ho is so smexy!
