Don't want to jinx it but this might become one of the highest grossing korean film because it has a lot of potential to do well overseas as well and it is already doing well domestically. This will definitely become ji chang wook's highest grossing film for sure by a wide margin.
Not liking chang wook's attitude towards the award shows. No big star should consider that kind of humiliation. Why will you go to an award show for presenting when they have ignored you for so many years? Will kim yoo jung or jun ji hyun etc. Do it? Never. There is a thin line between humility and stupidity. Maybe ji chang wook doesn't have any pride but that's not a good thing because then people will take you for granted. My suggestion as a huge fan: he has to be patient and wait for a career defining role. I think he gave 3 carrer defining roles till now: healer, k2 and empress ki ta hwan and maybe suspicious partner. Currently he is doing 2 big mistakes: he should seriously stop doing more than 1 work per year and He should immediately stop the special appearances. There are 2 possibilities: if he is being paid high even for special appearance and his role is meaningful then good otherwise totally foolish to continue. Take any big star in any film industry: everyone who has appeared continuously on screen has faced criticism: anne hathaway, tom cruise, zendaya etc. Etc. Of course if he can replicate shows like wts and twoe then it's a different matter altogether but very rare. I somehow feel like he is getting too many offers and not able to reject cuz he's a simple guy (and he's getting easily paid) . Only time will tell what will happen. If viewers watch Everything he's in then great pls continue
This is the first and last time I'll say this. BH ent*rtainment has enormous power over Baeksang. It's not a secret anymore. Just look at this year's nominations park bo young, kim go eun, park jinyoung they are all from bh. Jun ji hyun skipped the drama with lbh to do hxg with jcw.So it's not too crazy to think bh is involved. Last time in 2024 ksh and his agency was involved. It's all politics like it or not. Moving was the only disney drama that was heavily awarded in baeksang and han hyo joo is also from bh.
Unfortunately, looks like ji chang wook's terra contract is overhttps://x.com/cw_8775/status/2027680133054894292?s=20
We have to wait for confirmation but if true this is not a good sign. Gong yoo was the brand model before him for 5 to 6 years. People here will disagree but chang wook is not a top actor in korea in terms of box office and ratings success. I am not talking about international fame. He probably comes in top 15 and maybe not even top 10. Well the good thing is that he still has time, he's not even 40. Hope he finds actual success and not just People saying " underrated "
As a fan, I love more that he's putting passion in his work and there is no controversy surrounding him. I wish…
You're right that those things are very important too. The main issue here is that kdrama industry is extremely cutthroat. If you can't give super hits you will never get the good roles and someone will replace you
If human x gumiho drama is good in terms of script and production it's not impossible to go upto 15%to 17% yes…
Yes if everything is good,it can try to reach 15 % domestically it should reach their biggest problem is that internationally primevideo is very unknown for kdrama fans think only marry my husband is popular there and almost 0 og kdramas so international popularity will be less.
My prediction which i hope will not be true human x gumiho will be around 10-12 % rating., merry berry will be…
Scandal can be big but we already know how normal kdrama fans react to explicit scenes if they make it as a sad melodrama it can definitely be big also sorry to say i don't trust nana as an emotional actress she can be ok in romcom/action max
Don't get me wrong but human x gumiho will never be as big as qot or cloy simply because of 3 main reasons. 1.…
My prediction which i hope will not be true human x gumiho will be around 10-12 % rating., merry berry will be decent to above average, scandals will be really bad script😭
Don't get me wrong but human x gumiho will never be as big as qot or cloy simply because of 3 main reasons. 1. At some level fans need those offscreen rumors and chemistry things like "what if they are dating irl" . It is not a good thing but that is how the hardcore fans react already seen with qot, lovely runner 2. Most times romcoms work because of either young couples or same age couples are paired 3. It wont be on netflix but it will be on jtbc which is good it can create hype i am sure if the story and acting is good then it will receive good ratings but i will be really surprised if it can cross 15 or 20 percent mark. The craze for jun ji hyun in early days was very big but in today's date has reduced finger crossed though
Sorry but what was even the point of the SML..he was kept to fill the gaps and stretch the plot..i dropped this show after ep 7 but whatever screentime he had went into having misunderstandings with the FL🤣, i thought by some twist of fate he would end up with the brother's gf after breakup but even she went with the manager 😭
The era of kdramas is more or less over, there were maybe 4 or 5 max kdramas worth watching in 2025 and i really think it's because of weak script writing..the acting and directing talent is still there..talents like iu, ji chang wook, kim yoo jung etc. can rival any actor in the world but if writers and producers want to play with the same cliché tropes of amnesia, love triangles etc. It will be over soon
I have not seen many kdramas this year. Do you guys think JCW will get nominated for this performance? The fact…
Awards in korea are 90 percent about domestic popularity not skill or anything else..no one can deny that he is the most skilled among the current actors but most of his recent shows did not have the domestic popularity levels of say qot, baym etc
