I just checked his page and found out that I saw all of his dramas already! soory Sep 21 2021 4:56 am Hello Mr. Great Director I Hope in the new project: The glory, Use actors like song seun hyun or gong yoo as new partner of song hye kyo, They are capable actors with a masculine body, a suitable physique, actors with masculine faces and masculine bodies who are in the age group of of song hye kyo, not male actors who are younger and look like children song seun hyun or gong yoo are handsome and masculine, and song hye kyo is elegant and feminine, and this will be the best combination. I Hope to see lovely couple: autumn in my heart again With together in new and great drama, or Song will appear next to a great actor like Gong Yoo. they will be the best couple in the history of the Korean series Sew Jul 28 2021 7:11 am Dear director sir, I would request you to please make season 2 of sweet home Hemanth Jul 12 2021 2:19 pm Dear Sir. I wish to thank you wholeheartedly for those great films. It’s rare the actors and actresses can make a viewer cry and I’ve cried after watching Descendants of the sun, more than once. Those handsome Korean men are great actors, my God! I feel Blessed to see them in drama even though I may never get to meet them. What is sad if I may say so, why are countries divided the way they have done separating the people of the same nationality. Crossing the border, the yellow line, separating two human beings of the same nationality just made my heart weep for days. Great movies, high quality acting, love and romance portrayed involving viewers of all ages to wish for a moment of love just the way it was in the drama. Thank You. Jahnavi Jul 09 2021 12:15 am Dear director sir, I would request you to please make season 2 of goblin as it was such a beautiful and heartwarming story, which actually motivated us to lead a happy, responsible and life filled by doing all good karmas, it's my humble request to you to please think over this, as not only me but many across the globe have the same opinion as I do, I hope you will surely consider this request by all the fans of goblin(guardian:the lonely and the great God). Thank you Ela Jun 20 2021 11:13 am Descendants of the sun is such a great drama Rahma Feb 04 2021 12:37 am Pak lee ? sukaa sekali karyanyaa.. mr sunshine and goblin... good job... ?

Emiliana Seggi Dec 18 2020 6:40 am I really appreciated the serial "Mr. Sunshine": direction, acting, light, scenes, landscapes, costumes, music.

Genoa, Italy Ann Oct 07 2020 4:34 am Reunite Hwang Jung Eum and Ji Sung..."Secret love" was amazing Ammarah Aug 28 2020 4:00 am Dear director I am greatly impressed by your work as saw mr sunshine recently..But failed to get the thought behind turning such a splendid work n woven story into a huge tragedy..A person with a heart like Eugene choi needed to be cherished in the end.. I think life is tragic but Art through drama/cinema has the enormous power to take us away to nicer beautiful things which make life worth living as Love n peach blossoms...it got me depressed by watching the end of Eugene..really heart broken. Replaying all the beautiful scenes of them to reassure my heart that i can stop the on comming tragedy n enjoy them while i can.. HAehe Jun 25 2020 3:57 am I always want you to keep those bright cinematography in your dramas... Is really really spectacular. lloyd May 25 2020 8:20 am hi we have are form Vancouver BC and Manila...we love mr sunshine. you should do more like that film. alex kirkland May 15 2020 10:39 am I'm from Utah, USA. and me and my mom love Korean dramas. but we just finished goblin and I'm so sad!! will their be another season?? I need to know. (also sorry if you cannot read this or translate.) also, I love all ur movies. they're amazing!! please make more, but will their be another goblin season? Rita Costa May 13 2020 8:28 am Your sensibility Rita Costa May 13 2020 7:42 am I want to congratulate you for the beautiful work on Mr Sunshine. His sensitivity made the details of each character extremely fantastic. Not your type gurl May 11 2020 3:26 pm One of the best director in kdrama world ive ever known. All of the dramas that he directed have such amazing cinematography, smooth transition and great scenes. Lee Eung Book + Kim Eun Sook is perfect combination for a drama production? Jar May 09 2020 10:42 pm Dream High 3 please! Hanni Mar 24 2020 9:06 am I have watched a lot of Korean dramas. I must say the Goblin is one of those dramas where I’ve seen how hardworking the Director is. From the opening credits, to every shot, every transition, cinematogeaphy, location, lighting, soundtrack, everything is well thought of. I am mesmerized by every shot. Everything was beautifully thought of. This is one drama i am ok to watch over and over again. It is also the only drama where i wanted to know about the Director. Beautiful, beautiful work. Lulla Jan 24 2020 9:49 pm Please reunite Ji sung and Jung Eum in a new movie ✌️ Yui Feb 07 2019 6:20 am Ive watched almost ur work but mr sunshine is just a masterpiece. Best kdrama production ive ever watched since 2002 Butterfly Dec 24 2018 3:03 pm For me the biggest masterpiece of his 'til now would be Mr Sunshine. I can't even put into words how much i enjoyed the drama. Everything was beautifully done and there were many scenes with subtle or should i say subliminal relevant meanings to the story which is sth i very much enjoy. And the cinematography was breathtaking. Hoping he and writer Kim Eun Sook continue on with making blockbusters, can't wait for their next collaboration. kang dedot Dec 07 2018 3:39 pm I am a big fan of Him, i watch all his work in movie, The best director for K-Drama.. i realy realy realy amazed how he make the Cinematography for all the movie he make. I dream i can get experience to work with him learning how he make a bautiful cinematography in movie because my passion is cinematography. Respect for Mr. Lee.. hope in the future you can take a location for your movie in my country Indonesia. I'm always waiting for your next film Mr. Lee Eung Bok. Raul Oct 13 2018 11:48 am Lee Eung-bok is a dazzling genius. Mr Sunshine is a brilliant work. The director gets the very best from all of his actors. He sets each scent perfectly. Everything he did in that series was done with flawless perfection. Indonesia Guy Aug 21 2018 1:58 pm As a director, he has the best directing ability that can be said in South Korea in my opinion. If you watch DOTS, Goblin, and Mr. Sunshine you will realize that these three dramas are directed by him without the need to find out through articles, news or other media. Most directors will use a point of view that is easily understood by the audience so that sometimes many Korean drama lovers stop to continue watching until it's finished because they feel they already know how the ending is. Unlike Lee Eung-Bok, from what I saw how to direct it based on the three last dramas, he deliberately directed the audience to determine the ending of the drama through their minds, but strangely, the audience felt that they were being played by their own thoughts and felt what they suspect feels unsatisfying to be the end of the drama they watch and indirectly finally raises at least one question in each of them, namely "Could it be that I have not permeated the essence of this drama story so that my suspicions sound awkward or precisely because I have unconsciously become one part of this drama so that it is like a character in this drama, of course I also look forward to what will happen at the end of all the conflicts that took place in the drama this?" I think if he made a book about how to become a director, I would gladly buy it because I think being a director is a great job and needs a strong mentality to keep on pursuing this field.

Director Lee ;-) Ainah Grande is my Name 15 years of age and also I'm a Filipino I'm already Done to watch the Drama you made 'Descendants Of The Sun' ... I cry a lot for that Drama ! even it's already Midnight I'm still watching it ! maybe you know Lee Ji Eun ? (IU) I want Song Joong-ki and IU tp be Partner ! I really Ship Them ! atefeh Khazraei (from iran May 10 2016 11:49 am Hello Director Lee Eung-Bok :) i'm Atefeh 19 year old from iran i'm watching Descendants of the Sun right now :D and i just want to say that it's awesome ! just there is a problem in E02 and it's not that much big ,(only middle east people can get it :D ) there is a flag in 00:59:20 time and it has some arabic characters on it . "ةح ل س م ت اع ا م ج" arabic is right to left and words don't have space between their characters , characters stick to each other until the word is over so the right way is: "جَماعَت مُسَلَّحة" which means : people with guns!! terrorist don't use that kind of names they use + names so they can find some new members like muslim brotherhood ,... some thing like that ... it has a pretty name but it's ugly inside . Inquistive one! Apr 19 2016 10:43 am Good day Director Lee Eung-Bok! It really keeps on my head why is the series entitled Descendants of the Sun? It bugs me because my theory is that the title of the "movie" that Captain Yoo Shi Jin and Dr. Kang Mo Yeon supposed to watch is "DESCENDANTS OF THE SUN". I can't help but to ask this because what happened to the movie that they're supposed to watch is so mysterious that they don't even know if it ends happily or not. I think it, the "movie", plays an important role in this drama series. Can you please tell me why is it entitled Descendants of the Sun. Please, please, please? Thank you Director Lee Eung-Bok! Hoping for your positive response! :) And I want to meet you, Song Joong Ki, Song Hye Kyo, Jin Go, Kim Ji Won and the rest of the cast personally!!!! :) Inquisitive one!

And i know i'm not the only person who wants to watch Dream High!! And i mean it's not a bad idea to change the cast but i'm very curious about the last episode of Dream High 1 because i really don't know how it ends! :( But i was very excited that it has Dream High Season 2! I hope it will also have Season 3, 4, 5 and so on! JOE Dec 23 2011 3:09 am Ok, I was happy with Dream High, but I am weary of Dream High 2, I want to know why you would change the cast when the first season's story was not completed. Second, Are you planning on reuniting the first cast in Dream High 3 (if we like 2) because I will watch 2, but if it's not good as the first, OR BETTER, then I don't care about a season 3. I think you should do like BBC did with SKINS, Seasons 1 and 2 were the entire story for one group. Seasons 3 and 4 were the entire story for the second group, and Seasons 5 and 6 told the story of another different group. SEASON 1 AND 2 had major CAMEOS in 3 and 5, while seasons 3 and 4 had cameos in 6... Show the 61 previous comments...
