Ok i watched ep 7 and 8: Much much better than 5 and 6 i guess it's better to binge this drama than watching weekly. But Speaking as a jcw fan i definitely think his role was not good enough; no backstory no development nothing, it's like they made the script such that he can do his crazy action scenes and go home. Don't get me wrong his acting and all was great and that's what we expect from him but i couldn't see much relevance of his character to the actual story. They literally showed the same 2 or 3 scenes bibi and jcw had together at the end of ep 8 ๐.(that we already saw). Even ep 7 and 8 felt like i was watching the story of the detective, his daughter and the prosecutor.
Both queen woo and gangnam B-side didn't impress me enough. All eyes on The manipulated now.
Tbh it kinda insane that he did dramas like empress ki, healer, k2 and suspicious partner almost back to back. I think it will be unfair to expect that kind of streak. I am really looking forward to his future works, hope the scripts do justice to his talent.
Btw the casting directors were insane on this one, i have read that before njh,lee sung kyung and han ji min were in talks to play that role and i can TOTALLY see both of them nailing this role ( maybe not the kisses tho๐)
I guess overall top position is a big thing after competing with english shows too (the show in 2nd position is…
Well i am surprised moving, big mouth and snowdrop didn't make it ๐, but it's great congrats to the team. I guess disney will definitely not let jcw go away from them
Competition isnโt that high but reaching 1 worldwide and never leaving the top 10 is crazy congrats ๐ฅณ
I guess overall top position is a big thing after competing with english shows too (the show in 2nd position is pretty popular too, it stars eddie redmayne who is an oscar winner)
Jcw in a variety show told that he met with the director many times and liked the script but negotiations with netflix is pending so nothing confirmed.
No one's deliberately trying to make his main roles in to cameos. Revolver (villain), Queen woo (special appearance),…
Well then i guess i have to be satisfied with his side projects only๐, hoping for good story and screen time in 2025, since he'll appear in 1 project only
He choose the character not writter & producer. Those character written like this from the start and he read them…
Ok i got your point but i disagree with it. I totally support jcw playing interesting characters even if it's NOT main lead but that depends on definition of "interesting ". A character has to be well written to be interesting. For yoon gilho- he's a very interesting character but literally got no development, no backstory nothing. That's an example of ruining a character with bad writing.

Ok if what you're saying is correct then don't you see it as a big problem? I am not trying to be toxic or shit like that i am a huge jcw fan ...but this is my point: Why would a top actor in his prime would want to do roles where the story is nothing special AND he's not the main lead- isn't that the worst of both worlds ๐ค i am genuinely curious if you have a logical answer pls provide. And also he did not do these type of gigs before right? Can u name me even 1 show of the past where he deliberately chose less screen time? Again i am not blaming jcw it's very likely that his agency kind of gives him those kind of roles more frequently.
He knows what he is doing.Well it did not happened it's up to people and how they receive it
Your point is correct but i think it just "feels" like 3-4 dramas, actually in 2024 i think he appeared primarily in gangnam b side, others can't be considered as main roles๐ค (wts can be considered 2023). Anyways he will appear only once in 2025 i guess ๐ฅฒ
No visual appeal- lol are u serious
Cinematography is basic- definitely not
Even disney plus is calling him son of disney plus ๐๐๐
