so i've been saying ever since the first speed racer preview came out that that Taejo looked VAGUELY familiar. then it hit me - it's RAIN. as in korean popstar, hottie extraordinair, part time actor RAIN. i freaking knew it, just knew it.

as soon as i'd realized this, people began to object. "no way, that can't possibly be him."

WELL HA HA, YOU DOUBTERS:



also, look and see who's playing Mr. Musha: Hiroyuki Sanada-san. was totally in the originally Ringu, and the second one as well, i think.

anyway, if you don't know who Rain is, he was in the korean drama FULL HOUSE, as well as that one boxing show that i really can't remember the title of. he's kinda brilliant; his acting isn't that great, or wasn't in FULL HOUSE, anyway, but he is an amazing singer. for shizzle. just have a listen to the video.
