and again, understanding the content and context of a written text is the problem. I started my first post referring to exactly this interview where he says that actors get hurt by malicious comments. I so declared that not all criticism is malicious and elaborated in my case what I meant, which in fact was supposed to be a positive message, so I did refer to this article and interview, just not to the part you mentioned.
see, that's the fun of things, opinions differ ;) I don't make it 'seem' in any way, I have clearly stated how exactly I mean it and what I was referring to. If you still want to read into it that I 'want to make it seem' a different way, then that's maybe your way of reading it - which is completely fine - but it's not what I have written.
before you get angry and get into this full force defense mode: please read my posting again, then to understand and if you care, read my review for 'love next door'.
I was referring to 'love next door' I said he did great dramas and movies in the past. Now, as he gets older, he suddenly takes on roles like in 'love next door' where he is presented acting like a child. And I say, and stay with the opinion that he (and also other actors and actresses, that is why I mentioned Jung So-min as an example) do not need to do that.
They are both huge stars, they can easily choose which dramas to take or not. And I do wonder why they would decide for such roles specifically when they get to a certain age. For me, in combination with the filtered social media pics, (and yes, many actors and actresses do that, they are just examples, as I have written if you care t read it) it speaks volumes about them maybe being insecure and feeling forced to stay 'forever young' - a hopeless endeavour for any human by the way, - instead of being self-confident, choosing roles that are mature and fit their age, and decline roles written so poorly. They are both great actors, and concerning looks, they are both particularly attractive the age they are.
aha, would you like to elaborate why? By me telling people to be who they are, self-confidently? By telling them they don't need to filter themself senseless because they in fact are beautiful without them? And because I say it's sick that actors mid-thirty are shown in dramas like they have the maturity and body language of little children? Then I guess I'm very crazy
I really like Jung Hae-in, and he had some great perfomances in the past. As my latest review states I was not a fan of 'love next door' for many good resaons. I do understand that actors also might get hurt by malicious comments, but criticism itself isn't malicious necessarily.
I do wonder in his case, why does he take on roles where he looks and plays like a toddler or 6-year-old boy? Also many of his instagram pics are so filtered I don't even recognise him as he looks like an AI mix of a toddler and a puppy - what he does not is look like himself. I really don't get why. He is a great actor and an attractive man. He is mid-thrity, and thinking of how he looked e.g. in 'D.P' I personally just can say he looks even better now than in his 20s, BECAUSE he looks like an attractive man mid thirty and not a toddler.
(And I personally think it's only logical that his performance in 'love next door' doesn't seem credible - why would it feel authentic und believable for him to act like a little child the whole drama through when in fact he IS a man mid-thrity? In fact, all I said goes for Jung So-min too, an actress I adore but her instagram is even worse, having either pics were half her face/chin is missing and her eyes are double in size and cartoonish, or she poses like an ageless open-mouthed doll in a strange collection )
I also don't see to what end he and many other actors and actresses are steadily trying to look like little kids, as in reality, they don't, as they age as we all do. And they all look really fine, so please, to Jung, Hae-in and others, you are particularly good looking people the age you are, show it, you don't need to try and look like kids forever, it's just disturbing.
LOL.. I'm glad I read your review.. it's baffling to see some in denial and still want to defend such a trainwreck..
yeah I don't know, I'm maybe a little upset as I know they can produce outstandingly good dramas, so I really don't get why lately there is so much effort, money and huge names taken and then thrown into the drain? It's so exceptionally bad, I really don't get it Oo
And I'm also annoyed of the idea that people in their mid-thirties who haven't spend their former lives under rocks, are always portrayed like helpless toddlers bordering on not actually being owners of working brains. If they portray men and women in that age group, I would like to see the actors acting like in that age group, otherwise I can watch a highschool drama.
hm, I'm not convinced of this drama either. I don't think it's a romcom at all, as there are not really any funny elements. The FL steadily verbally and physically abusing the ML is not something I find funny. (Same goes for the constantly angry mother beating her husband) Also one has to wonder about the FLs intelligence meanwhile, as she is not understanding the megawatt messaging that the ML is into her? Common, she was supposed to have been in the US, she was engaged, she had a normal private life there then with a man, and she doesn't get that he is into her? Not credible for me, also that she always dresses and acts like a 7-year-old. Also I think that the two leads don't have good chemistry to be honest Oo
Good you don’t have to. But I am sure you’ll watch a show like Squid Game Season 2, with known abusers such…
nope, I didn't even watch the first full season of Squid Game as it was clear to me after episode one who was behind all of it and so I found the plot lame and predictable. But anyways, one wrong doesn't justify another. The texts published in newspapers like the Korea Herald by Seo yea Ji's ex-boyfriend were proven to be real. She harrased him and was very abusive. As I would steer clear of people like that in my private or busisness life, I will also not watch anything with somone proven to be like that. It fits the state of the world that most people don't care about morals, or integrity, so as you all please, watch her stuff, support her, I won't ,as principles are one of the last things one might have left in these sick times we live in. So yeah, enjoy you all.
Yeah I don't care... after all that was reported, particularly her harrassing behaviour prooven by actual texts, I won't watch anything with her anymore. Also quite cynical that in 'Save me' she played the noble fighter against bullying, while meanwhile there are many reports about her being a bully.
People like visually pleading things in Korea.. If it was too realistic people would not watch😊
not the same for me... I can't really know or relate to how things were exactly 400 or 200 years ago, most is guess work so there is more freedom in presenting it. I can very much relate to the 1950s, there are tons of pictures, even film material, you can see _exactly_ what people looked like and wore, so it show immediately if it is totally incorrect how they show it - and well, it annoys me, simple as that.
People like visually pleading things in Korea.. If it was too realistic people would not watch😊
hm, wouldn't think so... If it's a historical background, like here in the 1950s, many people can still relate as it is not too long ago... also, when I talked to a Korean friend lately she agreed with me she is watching less and less dramas because she is bored by the too perfect ever more similar 'pretty' faces, as I quote 'hardly anyone looks like that in reality here' (in Seoul). I thinks depending on the story people long for more realistic as in authentic and interesting characters. And characters are only interesting and authentic when they don't seem cloned like the Borg.
it's an interesting storyline, start is good. But it still bugs me the visuals are totally unrealistic. Not only did no one in 1958 in Korea have thse modern hairdos, people also didn't have these picture perfect faces. If you look up pics from the 1950s in Korea, there is no resemblance of nothing in that show at all. It's like the actors wear clothes of that era but then have these moder bobble heads on top.
couldn't agree more and I did exactly the same, watched two episodes, ffd some more, then dropped it. I also don't really understand what's the fad now with so called strong female characters...all I see lately is that just the positions are switched, now it's super rich, cold, female chaebol characters in the K-dramas, unlikable, mean, etc... that is not strong female characteristics, it just seems like a childish way of 'so there, we make the immesely rich and powerful charactes females, what kind of people they are doesn't matter, just for the sake of it' I can't say how bored I am already of this concept.
