I can't see what is the problem with their age and generally speaking with age differences between older women…
Maturity is relative and doesn't necessarily go along with the age. But even age itself is a relative term. Because ageing has nothing to do with the body but with our mentality. Why should I look past the looks? Do men regardless of their age look past women's looks? They don't regardless of their own age and that is the reason why most women are trying -sometimes way too hard- to retain their looks.
NEW WATCHERS..... Don't Trust The MDL Rating....I REPEAT DONT TRUST THE RATING!!
I have to agree with this warning. It is incredible how many dramas are top rated and have rather misleading stellar reviews probably because the reviewer liked the lead actor.
Most of them are too young for me. One or two could be my husband;)
I can't see what is the problem with their age and generally speaking with age differences between older women and younger men. The majority of men after all, don't have any problem to have way younger than them WAGS (wives and girlfriends). On the other hand I don't think that guys in their 20s or 30s have any particular problem to have affairs with older than them women, because modern middle aged women take good care of themselves, they are not particularly interested to get married and as such are not demanding, and they have the appropriate experience to retain interesting and enjoyable relationships. So younger men gain a lot from such kind of affairs.
Anyway... the one that I like is not in the list so I will not vote on this poll.
He is such a great actor, I really like his voice too! Seen him in Hyena, Vincenzo, Bride of Habaek and Perfect…
He is not. It is that the age of majority in S. Korea is 19 while the age of sexual consent ( read that to freak out ) is just 13. The legal working age is 18. So any woman that hasn't celebrated yet her 19 birthday, is considered a minor. But minor or not , according to the S. Korean laws any girl by the age of 13 onward has the right to consent to a sexual act if she wants to! Anyway... the case against him has many flaws because the age of majority limit didn't prevent the otherwise underage actress that Lee Kyung Young was caught having an affair with her, to sign a contract and work on national TV in the role of an adult, on an adult rated drama. I don't know if the producers asked the consent of her parents/guardians or if they didn't have to ask for it, because she was already over 18 but not yet 19 that is the legal age of full majority. FYI he wasn't charged with rape. Just for having an affair with an underage actress ( whatever underage means according to the above laws) that she was a colleague actress on the same TV drama.
P.S I'm not giving excuses to pedos but I don't think that this was the case especially in the concept of the S. K laws about age majority. That a woman is not an adult if she is not already 19 though she is allowed to sign contracts if she is 18 and to consent for sex by the age of 13! The latter sounds like a joke of an attempt to solve their demographic problem!
One of the best and more versatile actors ever. I don't have any virtual coins to send him virtual flowers but if you give me his address I will send him real flowers and two bottles of Dom Perignon directly from France for his contribution to my entertainment. He is simply the best!
It would be even more interesting if they exchange partners ( in all possible combinations) and then discuss all together their experiences....! lol Then they will probably end up being a BIG extended family while the psychologists will rip off their diplomas...!
Do you not know what the foxes are? Plus, he picks roles that he enjoys.
You probably mean if he wasn't paid with the amount of money that he is probably paid he wouldn't accept it. But as it is well known, the quality of a project and the impact that it can have to a renown actor's career, doesn't go hand by hand with the salary. Famous actors are able to demand high salaries and be simultaneously more selective to the roles that they get. Lee Dong Wook doesn't harm his pocket when he accepts such roles. The only thing that he harms is his reputation as an actor of quality. Because if there is something that this particular drama lacked is quality.
lol, the older the actors get the more they are inclined to act younger than their age. That's a universal vanity…
And that is how they spoil their acting careers. Because they typecast themselves on playing the teenagers though they are not able to support the look so much younger people. And then they start abusing plastic surgeries that make them look like caricatures of their former selves.
I would advice Lee Dong Wook to select some roles with more mature/adult content. He is almost 40 y.o he is handsome and hot as hell and he plays what???.... the fox????
Same. The show failed in virtually every aspect other than the cast.I'd much rather see a second season of Goblin,…
I totally agree with you. I gave it a 6,5 just for the sake of the cast that tried its best to overcome the plain characters, the stupid plot and the cheesy romance. Lee Dong Wook can act so much better ... I don't know what he is paid to play in such stupid dramas. lol
There is no chance to replicate Goblin ( not even in a second season with the same cast) because Goblin wasn't about the story, the cast, the production the costumes, or even the end that it sucked, but it was about its surrealism. It was like watching Almodovar at its best... lol I have watched it multiple times and every time I discover another surreal interaction between the main leads that has nothing to do with the plot. They improvised and they had fun and that became obvious from a point and on.
Chimera was the offspring of Typhon ( typhus ) and Echidna (female viper) and was the sibling of Cerberus ( the three head dog that guarded the entrance of Hades ) and the Lernaean Hydra the nine head monster that was killed by Hercules. I would suggest to enhance this drama with a bit of mythology to justify its title. What is a serial explosion?
I have watched most of his films and I also have most of them on my collection. My favorite film is Ran but I recommend to everyone to watch Ran and also Dreams on a large screen and in HD. Or in a theater if it is possible. His direction, music, cinematography, colours, scenes, costumes, sets are from another planet. These were two of his latest movies and due to the higher budget he was able to put on film his vision without restrictions.
This drama legalizes and gives excuses with the most sneaky and underground way, psychological abuse, domestic violence and cruelty towards the most vulnerable people.
Most of the viewers of this drama didn't probably noticed/realized that behind the fairy tale like story with the nice sets and costumes and the poetic dialogues, was an unashamed and blatant promotion of the worst kind of violence.
I'm still wondering who allowed this drama to find its way to the public. And for those of you who think that Ye Hua was a great romantic and handsome character I have to say that I - personally - wouldn't approach such a guy not even from ten miles away ( with or without peach blossoms).
I don't see it tbh, Satoh has more distinctive features and tough look whilst Kame looks more feminine and softer…
I have put Korean dramas on the side for quite some time now but not because I have any particular preference to the actors. The main reason is that Kdramas are inconsistent on their plots and that makes very difficult to know if the kind/genre of drama I chose to watch is going to belong to the same genre up to the last episode. I like for instance mystery/spy/legal/ thriller dramas but the Korean ones start usually as such and end up as romances or melodramas! lol This puts me off to say it politely. I find it completely frustrating to spend that much time to watch a movie or drama that is supposed to be a thriller to end up on the last episodes watching the lead couple exchanging flowers and kisses. Jdramas are very consistent on their plots and they don't deviate from the initial intentions. And they have a sense of "economy". They go straight to the point by telling the story without adding unnecessary dialogues, sub plots, flashbacks, the background stories of minor characters, useless scenes that don't add anything to the plot etc. In other words they don't add "fillers" in order to cover a standard 16 episodes running time.
He owes me a favor because though he wasn't initially in the list he got instantly plenty of votes... ha ha ha.
