She just needs that 1 great role to really solidified her acting from good to great.

Yes, she has almost everything. The only thing she seems to be missing, at least for now, is that strong screen charisma or presence. I’m not sure if that’s something you can learn, or if it’s just something some actors naturally have.

I think Netflix looked at this more from a business angle than just experience. Jisoo has a huge following, and more followers usually means more viewers, which eventually means more money for the platform.

That's my thought process but I can be wrong.

I just started watching, and I do think Jisoo has improved and she’s also very pretty. For me though, her screen presence still feels a bit lacking compared to some of the other actors. A few of them seem to have a stronger screen presence and natural charisma that really draws your attention when they’re on screen. It’s a bit hard to explain. Jisoo isn’t bad at all, she just comes across more understated, while other actors stand out more in the same scenes.

Note: this is not a hate comment, just my opinion of her performance.

ok.

Ok, thx. It is weird that people would go to this extent.

Just noticed your profile name...mind sharing tips if NVD is still good buy?

It's actually pretty good drama. I would not say that it's the best of the best but it entertains those who are fans of the leads, the writer, and the director.

It's wouldn't be GYJ drama if there is no blood involved. She's looking great as always.

He might be her ex boyfriend that was shown that he has died in the terrorist attacked...he might have changed his face and why else would he asked her if she has recognized him or not. Just might be a possible scenario.

I first saw him in attorney woo too and then again in Escape from Mogadishu. He's really good.

I bet the sparkling chemistry is gonna be great even if there will be 0 kisses. I don't recall they had any kiss in "my mister".

Which episode did she confess that it was CMH? I thought that DR was the one who initiated the kiss with HR.

That's good and I'll be happy for her but I'm used to seeing men being billed first (not all the time but mostly). The reason I commented is because I know this actor has been in the industry for a very long time and he appeared mostly in films and he has connection with many directors and producers.

I'm happy that Honour is doing very well!!!

Good luck living in dreamland, the real world doesn’t work in isolation. It was still good talking to you, even if you threw in a few names here and there. It’s all good. I don’t usually call people names in real life. I can debate all day, but I’ve got to go now. I need to practice my Korean cursive writing. Take care.

By the way, thanks for replying. I actually appreciate it because it gives me a chance to practice putting my thoughts into words. Conversations like this really help me get better at expressing myself.

Don’t judge HSZ too fast. She didn’t give up, and one project doesn’t decide her whole career. A lot of actors go through rough phases before they improve.

Yes, her agency is small, but somehow they still manage to get their artists into good projects. That doesn’t just happen randomly. It means they have some kind of connections or know how to position their artists well.

So let’s be real. If she signed with a random agency with no network, do you honestly think she would still be landing leading roles after what happened with The Impossible Heir? Talent is important, I’m not denying that. But talent alone doesn’t automatically bring opportunities.

I’m rooting for HSZ. I believe she can improve and prove people wrong over time. But her situation kind of proves my point. In this industry, it’s not just about talent. It’s about who represents you, who believes in you, and who can open doors for you too.

You can deny it all you want, but in the real world, connections matter. If an agency has strong industry connections, that absolutely benefits their artists.

This agency was strategic from the beginning. They introduced their artists as models for high end luxury brands and then gradually placed them in well produced projects with strong ensemble casts. For example, GYJ appeared in Sweet Home and Law School, and RYS in Our Blues and Crash Course in Romance. These kinds of projects allow them to work alongside experienced senior actors and gain credibility without having to carry an entire production on their own.

Of course, they still had to audition. Talent is required. But let’s be honest, they do have advantages. They are visually striking, they are talented, and they represent luxury brands, which makes them highly marketable. In this industry, marketability is power. That is networking at its finest.

So far, the agency has clearly focused on recruiting artists who are exceptionally attractive. Their two main income streams are commercial films and acting projects, but realistically, their artists earn more from CFs than from dramas.

GYJ, for instance, is currently one of the highest earning CF models in South Korea. The income from a 12 episode drama is likely nowhere near what she makes from endorsements and brand deals. That said, this does not mean acting is unimportant to her. She has mentioned that she has grown to genuinely enjoy acting and finds it fulfilling beyond the financial aspect.

Jung So Min is a great actress and she did a wonderful job as Mudeok in season 1 but I think s2 has better romance and the chemistry perfect. s1 story was better but s2 romance is better...it's a win win for those who enjoy both seasons.
