It is sure that people can pretend to be good when they are not and it is difficult for us, from outside, to know which is which. And I agree that most people are not entirely good or entirely bad. Also there are actions which are not black or white. However, bullying and physical violence is not one of those "grey" ones. It's only black. At least in my opinion. Someone who drinks and smokes gives a good example, but ultimately mostly hurts himself. And he can stop at any time, giving a good example albeit late. A bully, however, may have destroyed the life of someone else forever, there's no way to undo the harm.
His improvment was seen in island and decibel for me, but we cant deny in true beauty was not so great. I think…
Cold character does not mean expressionless acting. They give those roles to rookie actors because they think they are easier than roles where someone has to laugh, cry, emote more. But in fact they are most difficult to get right, because they are multi-layered. So it's acting on two levels, one level is exterior, what they show, and a second layer, inside, what they really are, but are hiding because of insecurity, trauma or whatever. The character should look cold and without feelings to other characters, but the audience should feel the turmoil or fire or softness inside. There should be little cracks, in the moments when others are not watching, when the character is alone, and we the audience can see through the cold mask.

I think it's a question of experience more than type of drama. He slowly evolved with time and experience and learned his craft more and more. If he did those two first dramas now (Gangnam beauty and True beauty) he would probably be different than he was back then.
People were critical of his acting skills in the past, and I won't deny so was I. However, I can see he is working…
He started improving since A good day to be a dog. That was the "watershed" drama for Cha Eun Woo, when, from the middle of that drama onwards, we started to consider him a real actor. I am really happy that's he's doing better and better.
Why are so many male actors getting plastic surgery and ruining whatever good looks they had before? As a dude,…
In Korea they are obsessed about looks. And not only for actors. Some people have plastic surgery in order to get a job more easily. Not that Hollywood actors don't do that - A LOT! But -at least in the past - they only did it to counteract aging, and very obvious things like an enormous crooked nose. Barbra Streisand was the exception and everyone thought she had guts for keeping her nose as is. And so was Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman. They were considered "against the current". While in Korea young people do it even when their "flaws" are very-very minor. Because they have a very specific face that is considered beautiful, so anything other than that needs to be "fixed".
Lately some shows come already subbed in Portuguese and or Spanish. For instance, the Japanese drama Eye Love You that comes on April 19th will be pre-subbed in English and Portuguese.
Of course, they put them young and handsome for the viewers' enjoyment. Although the kings of that time very rarely lived long enough to become fat oldies - they were assassinated much before that by scheming Left State Councillors and by their own relatives. Generally the life expectancy at the time was quite shockingly low. The only ones who lived to old age were eunuchs (I read a study about that!)
What do you mean exactly by this? There will be Portuguese subs, as there always are. Portuguese is one of the most popular languages on Viki, after English.
Yeah ....and on top of that , each ep is 60mins long instead of the usual 30mins
Usual 30 minutes? Where? This only happens when they split one episode into two parts so that they can put ads in-between. But that was only for a couple of years, then they came back to normal, which is 60 mins for k-drama. Whereas Chinese dramas are typically 45-min (of which 5 min opening and ending song, so basically 40')
I really hope this isn't too serious and doesn't have a lot of angst. It's been forever since I watched a lighthearted,…
So you probably have already watched Mr. Queen, 100 Days My Prince and Tale of Nokdu, since they are older. Have you also watched Forbidden Marriage? That was a lot of fun.
