Love movies

The real sad case, at least to me, is what happened to Yoo Ah In. He is my most favorite of all actors but he got mixed up with drugs and Korea threw the book at him. I can't even get any new info on him.

Netflix kicked him out too.

I wonder what is happening to him now?

Unfortunately he committed a grave Korean mortal sin by taking some drugs illegally.

Poor soul, I hope he can come back.

I don't know if the Stars Gossip will ever be released.
The US filming industry was like that years ago - beauty over all.
They have changed radically - not beauty but acting, and good script.

Also agree with you on Jdramas- they are more on acting, and not necessarily on beauty.

Hi Tintin92! I agree with you - this drama is perfection! So well done- So well acted.
Now we have to wait until next week. It could not be better.

It's a current argument: should we be politically correct all the time or let art express itself?
The number of complaints were over the top.

Same here, not my favorite actress -

Yes, especially at the end - great music.
I'm making a list of all the OSTs that I really like.
It's taking forever to find them on YT.

Totally agree with you!!! Acting is the most important.
The ML in Parasite and My Mister, who just died, poor man. It wasn't that he was so handsome but he had a demeanor that was attractive - I can't describe it and he could act well.

Speaking of Lee Min Ho, when is When the Stars Gossip coming up?
I"ve been looking forward to that series- it is supposed to come up in '24.
Definition of Attractive - hard to define :-)
I'm a fan of Lee Sang Yoon. He has played an asshole in at least 3 series but he's a really good actor and I think he is handsome.
Of course for younger people he is 40+ so that may matter.

Another example: In Hidden Love the ML is precious - he's not perfect but the way he handles himself is unique.

We can go on - such an interesting subject.

"In Your face" - excellent way of putting it - I was looking for words to describe how I felt but you said it with 3 little words. Thanks!

Song Kang was just natural in Nevertheless. The ending was cute - he grew up and so did the FL.
I love the OST in Nevertheless.

I hope so too that they will use his acting skills and not his beauty.

Beauty helps but other talents are needed.

Well it was quite a controversy.
The writer introduced a prince from Middle East.
The prince fit some stereotype that many viewers felt was wrong.
I don't know if any scenes were removed from King the Land for that was a strong request from the people from the Middle East.

Loved Run On! And Im Si Wan was great in it.

Interesting that Song Kang's looks didn't really intefere with his performance in Nevertheless or even less in Navirella. He was just fine in both of these series, especially Navirella.
I hope that the studios don't take advantage of Song's looks to the point that the whole story loses impact. Thanks for your thoughts - I fully agree.
btw: it is interesting to watch on YT an interview with Song Kang - He is so natural and human too.

Thank you Chocolate - I am really enjoying his acting, his demeanor and yes, I think he is handsome too!! I'll look up Mystic.

Thank you for explaining it! We didn't need another King The Land issue.

I agree, Song Kang in Demon is so perfect handsome that his looks interfere with his role. (gets in the way) Someone can be almost too perfect.

Well Na Inwoo doesn't look like the usual "pretty boy" like some of the K or C Actors. He's somewhat different looking but handsome nevertheless. He has a very expressive face, a nice voice, and is good actor.
I've never seen him in a series before but from now on, I'll watch for him in the future.

Oh, how awful - ever since I watched Yoo Ah In's shows, I was convinced that he was a far better actor than anyone else, worldwide.
Chicago Typewriter, Hellbound, and his incredible acting in Burning and other shows.
That egg-throwing makes me very sad - imagine how he has felt. You are right, middle-age time, we have gotten worse - all around.
Thank you for letting me know.

Your point is well made - thanks.
But what support is there for Yoo Ah In?
Probably one of the best Korean actors and it appears that Yoo Ah In has been shut off by all sorts of media, including Netflix..
I can't find any news on what has been happening to him.

One of the best Korean actors. Very, very sad. I hope the same thing won't happen to Yoo Ah In. Another victim.

I watched several parts of Nevertheless twice. I loved it but not appreciated by a lot of watchers. It was natural for him and his beauty was not overwhelming, especially with the butterfly tattooed on his neck and his keeping of the butterflies. Also, the FL was the perfect match for him.

Yes, Forecasting Weather was not one of the best either for him or for the FL - not good writing.

I hope people will remember him after he comes out of the service.

Thanks for your reply!!!

You said it so well. He has to find the right role - sometimes his extreme beauty gets in the way of his acting ability. I've watched him in Nevertheless and Navirella. He did an outstanding job in both.
The camera has to ignore (or deemphasize) his beauty and the director and Kang have to focus on his acting.
I'm not saying this right but I hope you know what I am saying :-)
