The red or hot pink lipstick on men in K-dramas bothers me, too.I wonder if Ahn Hyo-seop has bad skin, and that's…
I don’t think he has skin problems, or at least not acne, because trust me, no matter what makeup someone wears, you can still clearly see the bumps from pimples. I’ve noticed that before with actors and actresses, especially in older K-dramas. Nowadays, everything is heavily filtered so everyone looks as smooth and pale as possible. Netflix tends to do it less, and sometimes not at all in thriller/action K-dramas.
Matthew is wearing so much makeup, it’s insane especially the lips. I don’t understand why he looks 10 times more made-up than the female lead, it’s crazy. I’ve noticed it’s not just in this drama either; Ahn Hyo-seop often has really heavy makeup, even outside of K-dramas. Why are they so determined to make this guy look paler? There are plenty of Korean actors who aren’t whitened nearly as much. Then again, maybe he’s okay with it.
So the guy replacing Lee Jung Ha somehow managed to land a leading role in one of the biggest K-dramas with a huge all-star cast, even though he’s only got one K-drama to his name — and that was just a supporting role in Bitch X Rich where he honestly didn’t show anything impressive. How the hell is that even possible? The only explanation I can think of is that his father is an agency executive. There are so many people in that country who benefit from their relatives’ reputation, from what I’ve seen. Mediocre actors and actresses keep getting leading roles back to back.
Ha ha ha, yesterday I said what? “I really hope we’re going to hear Hwang Dong Man scream his own name again,” and well, guess what? The answer came back VERY quickly. Episode 10: Dong Man confesses, Eun A screams their names.
Respectfully disagree. I love IJY and she's wonderful and obviously talented, but I think you're over-selling…
The role of Im Ji Yeon is far more complex than that of Heo Nam Jun. Playing two distinct roles in a drama is never easy. HNJ’s role is simply that of an empathetic director. It works well because he has a naturally serious and strict face that makes him believable, but Im Ji Yeon would have performed her role brilliantly regardless of which male lead had been paired with her. She clearly would have delivered either way. That being said, I completely agree that the two complement each other and help each other shine. As for Choo Young Woo, saying he was “just decent” in The Tale of Lady Ok is honestly ridiculous. He clearly carried the show. If he was only “correct,” then I can’t even imagine what that would make KJW’s performance. He was so “just correct” that he won the “Best New Actor” award at the Baeksang Arts Awards and the Korea Drama Awards.
People always talk about Lee Jong Suk being jealous, but in the end he’s the one who hit the jackpot. After the drama ends, IU always goes back to the handsome and wonderful Lee Jong Suk, the greatest actor in South Korean history. The game is over. IU’s beauty is beyond description. For me, she’s on the same level as Bae Suzy, even though I’ll stay eternally loyal to Queen Suzy, the fairy queen of the universe. 🧎🏻🙌🏻
Thank you, thank you, “WE ARE ALL TRYING HERE.”
