Considering how nasty evil spirit Pil-gwang is in comparison to Ji Chung-shin from S1, I expected S2 to be even more tense, edge of seat and action packed. But, sadly, too many scenes have turned it into a mini-farce. To use comedy in a show that is not meant to be purely, 100% funny (especially supernatural and action), takes skill; skill these writers apparently don't have. Childish, toilet humour and chanting stupid English phrases, just don't work in this concept. Character Ga Mo Tak has become a man child and what the hell is Na Jeok-bong meant to be? Not a Counter, that's for sure and his camp guide, Jong Guk, is stereotypical and a waste of space ~ as all the guides are this time. Don't get me started with Do Ha-na, whose fighting ability, instead of becoming more skilled and formidable, seem to have regressed. So Moon didn't even do the obvious and summon their territory, at a crucial time. S1 had so much more depth; So Moon's grandparents were included, with their own problems; there were back stories and they helped free so many trapped souls; we saw the demons dispatched and sent to that muddy prison; the Counters developed throughout the show. S2? Zero development; no additional storylines, just 1 that's weak and dull; So Moon's story has been buried and after all he's experienced, his judgement is blinded by a character he hardly knows, just because he saved his grandma; absolutely nothing new or deep enough to connect with. What a huge let down. I'm so disappointed a favourite series has been murdered. No S3 if the writers don't change, please!
Ppl that read webtoons. Do u feel reading them before hand adds to the experience or takes away from it? I'm asking…
It depends on how closely the production follows the description and personality of the characters. If they only loosely base it on the manga (or book even), by changing characters and ignoring the main events of a story, it can be disappointing. It is impossible to exactly follow a longer manga though, without a lot of episodes and most K-dramas are limited to 16 or 20 episodes, unless split into multiple series.
Don't watch his dramas. his acting is annoying ahh! save yourself
Not as annoying as your comment. Some of the dramas he's been in have lacked good writing or direction, but his acting has never been poor. He was superb in Strangers From Hell and Misaeng, to name 2 of many.
Unusual for MDL... his latest reality show, with fellow actor Jung Hae-in, titled 'Actors On A Journey' (literal name), where they travel around Scotland (UK) tasting whisky, isn't listed here. Made by JTBC and due out August 23rd 2023. Also, his name is not cross-referenced as 'Im Si-wan', which is how many fans know him.

Great news! Sounds a bit different too. So happy that KWB is getting all his strength and good health back. Hoping his success continues and this film is well received.
I absolutely love this actor and his ability to believably portray both straight and gay guys (Her Private Life; Antique) and darker roles (The Guest)... he was the best, creepiest serial killer ever in Voice S1, too. Really looking forward to this; his character sounds like it's another dark one.
Everything is all in the past and has been cleared. He never slut-shamed her. On the abortion issue, the ex-girlfriend…
They also get a lot of content from other media. If thesefriends were fake/madeup, do you really think her true friends wouldn't have spoken out? For another publcation, debunking the actor and Dispatches' fke story would hav been huge. It actually seems to me you want this to be true, regardless of proof, evidence or otherwise.

Wow, she had nice friends then. One would think that a decent person who cares for the people in their lives, would be supported by them... the fact they didn't must say something. I cannot believe all of them would be so shallow they'd side with her ex just because he's famous.
Hopefully, he sincerely apologized to the woman whose heart he broke in trying to protect his own career. Whatever…
The fact a relationship gone bad is even considered a skeleton in the closet, is a big part of the problem. People make bad dating choices, we can't all be fantastic at spotting character flaws when entering a new relationship. How that person will react, twist reality and lie when the relationship ends, would also be unknown. Actors are people, not holier-than-thou saints. I hope she suffered more for the lies she spewed out, than he has.
What happened with him is why I call them K-nutz instead of netz. A huge majority love to hate. There is also a culture of believing every sob story to be uttered, if it's by a woman. It's like they hate men and blame them all for a repressed, misogynistic culture. Regardless of what the actual truth gets proven to be. Like all women are angels and never set men up, abuse them, dump them, two-time them or generally treat them with disrespect. K-nutz get away with far too much slander and defamation as well. Vile people.
Good for him speaking up; I just hope he is not black-listed because of doing so. That is disgusting treatment of an actor. He is not a rookie, so surely they knew his 'image' and previous work, before offering him the part! Wasn't he auditioned first too? If not, that is a really unprofessional way of casting and totally unacceptable! Sorry to the other actors, but the drama deserves to flop.
I guess it depends on whether the decisions are made by Netflix as an international company and, more importantly, what will happen to YAH ~ if he gets jail time, how long ~ even if he doesn't, how long will the case draw on for? That might mean the Netflix projects he is involved with, would be delayed and be put at risk. Then they might decide to change the actor. However in terms of what he's done, I'm pretty sure with the huge number of actors and their nationalities, that Netflix deals with, what he's taken won't influence them. As long as he sorts himself out and it doesn't affect his work. Sadly, S.Korea are neanderthals in how they treat drug misuse. Everything appears to get lumped into one crime. Circumstances, usage, mental health ~ none of that seems to get taken into consideration and, therefore, no help or support is offered to get any pwrson back on track.
These old actors always pairing with young girls, can never see them pair with their age mates. Hope no romance…
It's called acting for a reason, durr. Plus, casting make the choices and actors are approached. It's their choice (when established at least), so no one has forced her, or him.
2017 this supposedly happened and they waited until he got some notoriety for Squid Game? That already makes it smack of being after financial compensation and little else. I don't get how it was investigated, seemed not to be found guilty, then investigating again due to appeal... are they saying it wasn't done right first time?! If innocent, of course he should be able to return. Why not! If based on lies, the person who put him through this should be heavily fined, named & shamed. If guilty, his career's over and rightly so.
