I totally agree with you about Park Shin Hye! Her roles are always the same...and for me always annoyning. She got on my nerves in You Are Beautiful and The Heirs. Did not like her much in Flower Boy Next Door either. Her acting is just unnatural to me.
Cannot really comment on others in your article since I have not watched anything with them yet, but The Girl Who Sees Scents is on my PTW list. Actually Im looking foward to it, but because of Yoochun :D
Amen to all of this! Especially and particularly about Shin Hye and Se Kyung (this last one I was really impressed with in The Girl Who Sees Scents, cuz FINALLY she was not annoying and I actually liked her~ a bit~a tiny tiny bit~)
**Chohwa** Loved this artical. Your writing is such and easy breezy pleasure to read, experience because your thoughts are clear and insightful analytics.
The "Duelist" was a full immersion experience of the duality of conflicting emotions played out so sleekly by Gang Dong-Won ", and equally notable in "Kundo : Age of the Rampant". I fell in love with his ability to dig deep and sharpen the subtleties of his character's persona- the unconscious hook that freezes the audience in their tracks, such as the performance in "Our Happy Time". I hear you about his mental health, with his successive dark and twisted and tragic roles. With his reigning talents I'd be willing to wager he could do comedy just as proficiently, which would give him and us some relief. Yup, I'm an unapologetic fan.
Choi Min Soo, saw him 1st in in "Warrior Baek Dong Soo" and currently watching him in "Daebak" he is such an absorbing character actor- always draws 100% focus when he's in camera range.
Im Joo Hwan, in "Oh My Ghost" was a real slime ball, so creepy, the recall still makes my skin crawl.
Son Chang Min loved him in" Cruel City" and yes his best performance dove-tailed right with one of the best crime/mobster dramas in years, wish they would produce a season 2.
Again, thank you so much Chohwa for your Charismatic Killers in Korean dramas, series.
ok, i've seen all six (so far) of your lists.
i still think you're missing one. Shin Tae Hwan, from East of Eden.
in my opinion he's one of the best vilains in a KDrama i've seen.
He's very ambitious and does not back down, you could say pure ambition.
He is very dangerous, has no second thoughts about killing someone.
I'll have to search for The Scam. Yes, Park Yong Ha's suicide saddened me because he was so talented. But depression is real and deadly when untreated. Very sad. Okay, maybe now I won't watch it. I barely made it through A Story of Man and Last Scandal (Choi Jin Shil)!
