Yes, hating on actors in immature and hurts people. Saying you don't like a character is okay.For most people…
To be honest, no matter how many times I rewatched that scene, I can't blame HJP at all.
His words did not even have any cocky attitude or tone. It was just matter of fact. He pointed out a flaw in Yong San's brother's project that was a pretty large one.
Yong San's brother killing himself could have more to do with the brother not wanting to face his family because he became a failure and lost all his money.
Arguably, if Yong San's brother had a proper mentor, he would not have taken this path.
That scene shows the dark side of start ups, where a simple mistake can cost you the whole business. Like NDS breaking the Morning group's chairman's nameplate is such a mistake. The only fault of Yong San's brother is he isn't the ML, so there isn't some lucky fairy godmother that will save him every time he makes a mistake. And that is very realistic. When you enter sandbox, you enter fully knowing there is risk with what you are doing. Unless your the smartest person in the world, and all your projects succeed.
In current society with all the suicides, it is easy to blame the harshness of people, but in reality, harshness will never go away. When someone has a bad day, they immediately pass on their anger to another person, it's an unfortunate part of human nature. So rather than try to fix something beyond our control, we need to work on what we can control. And the things that help protect our mental health from the harshness of life, is having a solid foundation in the form of family, friends, and self appreciation. It's also good to find a mentor in a tough industry, and set variable goals that are not set in stone. Also, if you are having difficulty, therapy should not be seen as taboo anymore in Asia.
Do you know why Cyberbullying is so rampant? One word, anonymity. Because all these trolls have no fear of punishment or repercussions. I know in Korea, they are able to track people from the social media they use, but in other counties, good luck going through the legal tape needed to access someone's social media account.
It's not the actors people hate but the characters. I personally think if HJP had been the male lead, and if it…
If this had just been KSH, then the production would have been cheaper. And this drama would have been a silent hit. There are a lot of dramas without big stars that end up doing well, and make the actor/actress shine.
The role of SDM and NDS could have been played by a variety of other actors, but KSH really nailed the HJP role so well, it would be harder to replace him.
Look at Shin Hye Sun and her role in My Golden Life.
Am surprised that people hate Suzy or NJH and say that HJP is all that mattered bcos lets face it HJP could not…
From what I understand, there are more NJH and Suzy fans who are attacking KSH than the other way around. It's all over twitter, you can check it out.
My understanding is NJH fans are not happy that KSH is getting all the attention, and they are bashing KSH calling him ugly, overacting, a clown and etc...
I'm sure there are KSH fans also doing some attacking, but not compared to the magnitude of NJH and Suzy fans.
I saw those tweets and funny enough, they didn't make me mad. it's just pathetic. All this time, they've been…
Agreed, pretty sure KSH don't care about these trolls. I feel sad for the trolls though, because they are real people that actually think like this.
I keep reminding myself that sometimes these trolls just create an online persona and are not actually act like this in real life. Otherwise the world becomes a sad sad place.
*Sharing my thoughts*After reading so many hate comments for KSH and not HJP from NJH fans on twitter.I want to…
Wait, Indian170 has spread his haterade in twitter? The trolls are adapting! The world is going to end soon!
Stans doing stan things, nothing surprising, best to ignore. Maybe that is why KSH has a staff diary account in IG, so basically someone filters all his social media for him so he doesn't nee to read the negative posts.
From a viewer that watch Vagabond then Start-up. I would say that what a huge waste of talent the writer did for…
Yeah no worries, you are in a safe space here.
I mean, you have to remember Kpop stars get direction on almost all aspect of their lives. From what they wear, what they can do, where to go and etc... So when it comes time to transition to acting, they are so used to having someone tell them what to do, that most lack that inner unique identity to make the role their own. So often times these kpop idols will just literally read the lines on the script. A true actor/actress, due to their acting background, will normally make the role their own, and potentially even ad-lib certain scenes.
Next pop star turned actress will be Jisoo in Snowdrop, if she sucks in it, she will just add fuel to the stereotype, if she smashes the role, then she'll be the exception to the rule.
But in regards to Suzy, I've only ever seen Start Up and I feel she lacks a lot of micro expression. Her face feels so bland during the close ups. I feel like half the time she's very conscious about looking beautiful and avoid expressions and movements that would not be considered graceful and pretty.
But the truth of the matter is, a lot of these so called Hallyu stars can't act at all. But that doesn't stop them from being Hallyu and popular, mostly because of their good looks and visuals.
So, why should they bother getting better at acting if they are still popular regardless of it? In fact it just becomes a waste of time. Look at lee min ho, one of the worst Hallyu actors, yet he keeps getting roles and has one of the largest fandom in Korea. Acting skills don't matter to the majority of kdrama audience.
Is True Beauty doing the same as Startup? Dragging the love triangle till the last episode? They didn't learn…
I haven't watched TB, but I get the impression the love triangle has ended or is ending soon. Also aren't the ML and SML like friends to the point people ship them?
From a viewer that watch Vagabond then Start-up. I would say that what a huge waste of talent the writer did for…
She initially did to be fair to her.
In the beginning Suzy's character SDM showed that she was quick witted, innovative, cool in the face of pressure, independent and an empath.
Somewhere after the initial episodes, she dumped most of her early characterization to be, slow witted, dense as a rock, dependent on men, panicky, apathetic, and generally bad at her job, constantly making mistakes.
And, your right, after the first few episodes, she became a prize for both HJP and NDS. But to be fair to HJP, he never made SDM dependent on him, instead wanting her to figure out things on her own so she can grow. NDS on the otherhand went full on helicopter parents, and did not want to give SDM any space, constantly following her like some puppy until she said yes.
NDS wanted SDM as his prize, because SDM gave him purpose. Prior to SDM, NDS did not know who he is, or who he wanted to be. When he met SDM he realizes his dream is to constantly do whatever SDM tells him to do. His dream is to make SDM his dream, and to make her his goal. Some girl, may like this, but I personally find it too clingy and stifling. Basically NDS wanted SDM to his parent who can be proud of him and his accomplishment, he wanted someone to pat him on his head and tell him the good job he is doing.
HJP on the other hand, wanted SDM, not so much as his prize, but to be his family. For someone who has lived most of his life without one, being together with the person who gave him comfort all those years ago is his one wish. Someone with which he can share his dreams with, someone that will help HJP grow and come out of his shell. He also wanted to help SDM reach her full potential, he wanted to be her support group without being too in her face. Basically HJP wanted to pursue a romantic relationship.
I don't believe we were meant to see HJP as a villain. In episode 12 SDM comforts HJP by telling him that she…
I get the feeling what SDM says, and what she wants and thinks are two very different things.
She says ok, whatever the tarrot cards says, i'm going to do it. Then proceeds to ignore it anyway.
Tells HJP she doesn't want hopes and dreams, but facts. But ignores all that and partners up with NDS for smart city.
She is a walking contradiction that says all the right things, but does all the wrong things. And luckily for her, the wrong things still works out in the end.
She tells HJP she didn't think he crossed the line, but then literally 10 seconds later, she says he actually made her almost cry quite a few times.
I've just realized SDM is one flaky lady.
The thing about the show is that the cast of the show verbally voice out HJP flaws. As if they have to convince the audience HJP is a bad guy. Oh HJP only helps us because of SDM, he has an ulterior motive, without SDM he won't care about us. Oh, HJP is a jerk, oh it's because of HJP's harshness that my brother killed himself. You'll notice towards HJP, they always verbalized his apparent flaws. But towards NDS? Not even one flaw. In fact, the only one who points out NDS flaws is HJP, and of course he is vilified for doing so. In the eyes of the cast, NDS is an angel, and HJP is a devil. But a key note here is that in NDS case, even though nobody verbally points out his flaws, the audience sees it, and judges his actions anyway, and even though the writer and the characters are trying to vilify HJP, it's actually NDS actions that get vilified by the kdrama audience. It's the opposite effect of what PHR intended.
I'm very sure that PHR intended to make HJP a grey villain, but she failed miserably. She gave him too much of a head start in the white department, that when she wanted to splash on black on HJP's characterization it was too late, as most of his actions become justifiable because of all he has done and accomplished for SDM and SST.
In fact, I can argue that Halmoni was another "villain" in the show. The fact she started the lie, never told SDM the truth, and etc... And her blindness is her punishment basically. Just like TKEM, the "villains" of Start Up all got their just desserts.
Yes, I absolutely loved the Prime Minster in TKEM, and thought she was one of the highlights of the show. Her acting was amazing as well. And I felt her actions were for the most part justifiable, and she was a potentially grey character. KES decided though to make her full on villain for whatever reason, and her ending really sucked.
For once, i'd like a Kdrama where the villain is a bit more grey throughout and finds redemption in their own way.

Also, 365 and fiery priest both sound interesting. Memorist and FOE are too thriller for me.
I wonder which of us can get that valuable 30,000th comment :))) It's going to be fun!
With the way my mind works, I wouldn't be able to sleep LOL!
I saw a 5 second GIF of the ML's face being superimposed on a scary picture of FOE, and it still haunts my mind :(((
She says ok, whatever the tarrot cards says, i'm going to do it. Then proceeds to ignore it anyway.
Tells HJP she doesn't want hopes and dreams, but facts. But ignores all that and partners up with NDS for smart city.
