Its honestly sad coz ,AGDTBAD is such a fun show. I haven’t seen much of Eun woo’s acting, but I have read…
What seems to annoy people most about Cha Eunwoo (from what I've inferred from many comments) is that he tends to take roles where he's expected to maintain a frosty exterior, at least for a while. So they're looking at his face, specifically lack of big facial expressions, and saying that he can't act. What they're missing is that his EYES do so much, as does the tone of his speech. He's so much more than a pretty face with a beautiful singing voice, and honestly I've enjoyed watching him in every role I've seen.
I agree that AGDTBAD is fun. I haven't read the webtoon, actually, but I've really enjoyed the episodes they've given us so far. I'm dying over the 2 week wait, though. This is exactly why I tend to wait until a show finishes airing before I start it... but it was Eunwoo, so I gave in to temptation and jumped in early!
I wasn't going to start it yet because I low-key hate watching shows while they're still airing, since I know I'm impatient as all heck and often end up putting shows on the back burner while waiting for new episodes... then neglecting to go back and finish them even once they wrap up airing.
BUT! I gave in to temptation, despite the strange sounding plot synopsis, and I've really enjoyed the show so far! Maybe I'd feel differently if I'd read the webtoon, but honestly that's unlikely (I've read the material for several shows/movies I've seen, and have enjoyed both versions without feeling the need to pick an adaptation apart for not sticking strictly to the material or whatever).
Cha Eunwoo has always been one of those actors who "acts with his eyes", for me. He doesn't need to show much expression on his face for his eyes to show exactly what emotion he wants to portray, and I've always enjoyed that about him.
The FL is absolutely adorable, and I enjoy watching for little signs of her character's "nature" in her everyday interactions with the people around her. It's interesting to see the relationship between these two leads developing, as well.
While we're only 3 episodes in, if it keeps the current momentum then I can definitely expect to be enjoying it all the way through. Someone else said it's "whimsical and fun", and I have to agree. The flashbacks we've gotten so far do hint at what could be a fairly dark past, but the present brings me absolute joy to watch.
This is what scares me, and I'm hoping they're the type of fans who will continue to support the group that helped him build his career rather than abandoning them because he's not performing with them anymore. They definitely still deserve the love and support from Fantasy!
Instagram followers -sf9 - 1MRowoon - 5.7 Mso your statement is kinda wrong...
I was into K-dramas months before I got into K-pop, so I'm one of many who discovered Rowoon as an actor first, heard his voice first on an OST instead of as part of SF9, and later found SF9 when I looked deeper into who he was as an actor. I don't even consider myself a "real fan" of SF9, I just like some of their music; but I'm definitely a fan of Rowoon as an actor.
I'm the same way with Cha Eunwoo. I love him in dramas, love his OST work, and have literally only heard like 2 ASTRO songs (which I'm not even sure I like because they haven't grown on me yet).
I've seen a ton of idol actors and actresses who I've never even heard their group's stuff (and if it's females, wow, good luck finding a song I'd like since most of what I hear from girl groups just isn't my cup of tea).
The fact that he's chosen to stay with the same company and they signed him knowing this change in focus was happening says a lot. It's definitely not the worst decision he ever made. In fact, it might be the best one he could possibly make.
Agreed! You said exactly what I was thinking. His injury is not something to be taken lightly, and I still remember…
This being an amiable thing is clear from the fact that he renewed his contract with the same company, just with a different focus. It means that he had no reason to leave the company itself, and they had no desire to hold him back from where he wants to put his energy. My guess is that the rest of SF9 is supportive as well, at least based on what little I know of them beyond their music.
If nothing else, we'll undoubtedly see more OST work from him in the future. I actually found SF9 through his acting in the first place. I'm not a super-fan by any means, but I'm very pleased to know that he's stepping forward confidently. The remaining members of SF9 are still talented, and my only hope is that he'll continue to find success and not lose touch with the ones who shared his journey so far.
Poor you. You have understood nothing about life...
This kind of choice is a very personal one, and none of us is worthy to judge someone's reason for deciding to not have a child... because we don't walk in their shoes. Choosing not to have children for any reason doesn't make a person bad, doesn't mean they're punishing themselves to never know the love of a child or that they hate their parents. It's also more common than you might want to believe for those who do have serious issues to make a decision like this.
Whether it's a desire to not pass on genetic issues, a fear of raising kids in today's world, the thought that they'll make horrible parents because they lacked good role models growing up, just can't see themselves as parents... or any other reason... regardless of why it's their choice, it's their choice.
Personally, I think those who feel that way are exercising a special kind of wisdom. Rather than make that decision based on what others tell them is expected or "right", they've made a decision based on what they believe is right for their situation. If they felt like this and had kids anyway just for the sake of someone else, they're likely to feel unhappy about it, regret it, etc. I've known people who grew up being told they were a mistake, or that the mom wished she didn't have them, and I can tell you it's not pretty. So yeah, I'm definitely able to respect those who deliberately choose that course.
Besides, it's not like giving birth is the only way to be a parent (and being a parent isn't the only way to feel the love of a child). Adoption is always an option for those who later decide they want to parent but still don't want their own issues passed on; fostering is a less permanent (though possibly more difficult at times) option, too. I know teachers tend to think of their students as their kids, as do many school bus drivers (at least in my area).
Sharing love with a child and being loved in return isn't limited by blood.
Edited to add: This is just my perspective, obviously. I made the choice to have children (I have 3 of them, turning 25, 19, and 14 this year) and it was ultimately the right one for me... but my own experiences and seeing what friends have gone through have helped form the opinions I shared above.
