Why is 3 years considered disappearing? That's what should be normalized a bit more honestly. These people are…
Normally I'd agree with you, but it's not he smartest thing to do when he's about to turn 40 and needing a popualrity boost for longterm career benefit before the 40+ industry agism hits him, and he'll no longer get main lead roles...
But I'm guessing he's fine with only scoring daily dramas or family weekender acting gigs from now on (the 100+ eps or 50 eps Soap opera style kdramas that doemstic market/old ahjummas like watching. Those hire even older and less popular actors).
I hope Chilling Romance will be good and POPULAR. He NEEDS a popularity boost! Charm and acting skill is already there, but he doesn't have the populaity for more/better scripts!
All his castmates from Still 17 are quite popular, why was he left behind??
He's 43 and not popular enough to compete with younger actors and more popular actors his age....So i think unfortunately unlikely any more lead roles, unless he signs a daily drama or weekender (100 eps or 50 eps soap opera type kdramas that are only popular in domestic market)....
For REAL! They did a REALLY Good job pairing people this time, 4-5 Perfectly Paired actors all in romace in January…
imo SCRIPT & CASTING is EVEN MORE important than ALL of those! Especially the Script Quality is #1 ! Sooooo many big budget and good production kdramas made, yet they didn't bother with good script LMAO?!? π π π Then why make the drama in the first place? It's a waste of time for cast & crew!
For real, I hate how some people say it like that or like "WE are pregnant", as if it isn't the WOMAN who'll have to suffer through the pregnancy and a painful birth! The man is doing nothing, let's be honest!
She always seems to get cast with all the good looking male leads, while a very pretty actress only gets paired…
Let me guess, your age must be like 16-22 right??
Since you consider actors in 30-40 Chopped older men!??
Every age group deserves leading men fit to their ages, we can't have ALL LEADS be in their 20s ! π π π
Have you ever considered that women in 30-40 age group find those "chopped men" attractive??
OBJECTIVLY they are GOOD LOOKING TOO for 30-40 aged women, OR THEY WOULDN'T GET CAST, YOU are just too DAMN YOUNG to personally be attracted to them....That just means the TARGET AUDIENCE with that casting is OLDER THAN YOU, DEAL WITH IT.
You lack objectivity!!!! And it's showing so clearly, that it's annoying.....
January is overflowing with my favourite dream couples. This is too surreal for me to handle.
For REAL! They did a REALLY Good job pairing people this time, 4-5 Perfectly Paired actors all in romace in January WOW! ππ€
After the DRY SPELL of 2025 of only LET DOWN kdramas in the romance genre.... I hope at least some of these early 2026 are WELL WRITTEN, so we can FINALLY FINALLY have great ROMANCE KDRAMAS!!! (i mean, even Dynamite Kiss was a let down in later eps..)

to put it in perspective no gain no love has an 8.2 rating and they didnβt have any chemistry
No Gain No Love had much better writing and pacing. Also 2nd leads DID have chemistry and we're super cute, they carried that drama alongside the writing.
Unlike here where they ruined even 2nd leads story by making 2ML too pathetically clingy to FL....
#Wishing for a Better 2026, where dramas, especially in Romance genre, are actually well-written and not disappointing! πβ¨π―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈ
In the end this is only 7/10, and that too mainly for the Perfect Lead Couple! Without them the overall writing is honestly just 5.0. !
In an ideal alternative universe, the drama would've been as good as the first 2 eps!
And even their chemistry fizzled out and wasn't as amazing as the start! π I don't even think this is rewatching material, not even for the super cute lead pair! One time watch is ok. Wanted to even Drop it, had to FORCE myself to finish just for the cute leads!
I liked it!
Though irl idol fans probably hurt by the brutal truth shown here ha ha
I can't find the writer in any Database....A rookie i guess..
These days all the best kdramas that actually hooks me are all written by Rookie Writers....
What happened to the screenwriter vets? Only very few seem to deliver good work anymore....
It's just shallow plot, all action with not much else lol.
Luckily he's doing a much better project Perfect Crown, so can just skip this lame one lol
But I'm guessing he's fine with only scoring daily dramas or family weekender acting gigs from now on (the 100+ eps or 50 eps Soap opera style kdramas that doemstic market/old ahjummas like watching. Those hire even older and less popular actors).

Plot sounds interesting too!
I hope they both confirm !
I hope her contract expires soon...
He'd be reuniting with BOTH leads here then! π
Now i really wish this happens...π they didn't announce any casting for the dead brother yet right?? Maybe it will be guestar role indeed π€
