I got so into C dramas a while back but got burned out and haven't watched one in years. And I've been waiting for a really good one to get back into them again -- so I'm hoping this is as good as everyone is saying! Starting it now....
I love the sound of KYD's voice, it's gentle but strong. I find PYJ just so lovely, she's breathtaking to me, something about her! I think they'll have great chemistry.
For those accusing the male lead of cheating? Are we all watching the same drama? He broke up with that chick…
YES THANK YOU. I don't get why everyone is clutching onto their pearls like a life raft. He was put in the weirdest situation ever-- he drank a magical love potion for god's sake (I know they think it didn't work , but it def worked in some way--even to just super enhance the affection he already was starting to feel). He didn't go out and try and purposely cheat, his relationship with NY wasn't making either of them very happy anyway, and he tried many times to break up with her and she didn't even care that much herself when she found out. If you look moment to moment, I can understand why he made the choices he did when faced with such an overwhelmingly odd situation, not only with the FL, but his relationship with his GF was very odd, too. His heart and mind were literally at war.
People need to allow characters to be human beings and look at their actions with a bit of nuance.
Well, Roowon was good in "She Would Never Know" but in Destined with You - not too good. You are right - choose…
Yes, Matchmakers is what I'm worried about! I'm not worried about him in the role, more worried that the show won't be good so he won't get any attention from it. I haven't seen She Would Never Know--I'll check it out. I've only seen him in King's Affection and thought he did very well there, but he's doing even better in Destined. (It's a shame you don't watch historical cause King's Affection was fantastic).
I respect that he said that--people talk about pretty privilege, but I'm sure it must be hard to feel like you are constantly having to prove you're more than just a pretty face (even to himself). He is one of those actors I would never have guessed was an idol, and I put him in the company of Junho and Kyungsoo (Rowoon isn't as experienced as them but def has just as much talent)
This director is fantastic, the writer is good and sometimes great. And so far the acting lineup is aces. Love the unique premise, also. Def keeping an eye on this one.
I hate to say it, cause I was one of the ones who defended him, but I've come to realize MinHyun isn't subtle he's just wooden in his acting. I do still think he has a special charm to him and enjoyed the gentleness of his character, but while watching the BTS especially MH emoted and showed all these different sides and it made DH seem even more cardboard. I really like KSH but she plays the same type of character in every drama--the no-nonsense, pragmatic, somewhat aloof, caring but not quite warm character.
This show was sweet and inoffensive. I appreciated a lot about it, and will still keep an eye on MH in the future, cause damn, I still feel like he's got some sort of charisma about him and I wanna give him a chance to grow a little. I won't remember this drama in a few months but enjoyed watching it.
When I saw the thumbnail with these two actors my first thought was "OH SPICY." I think they'll have great chemistry. They can both be very breezy and charming in one breath and very intense in the next. And they both have strong comedic timing. This looks like a great pairing to me.
Hong sister dramas are always a mess but also always hilarious and kooky and memorable, so I'm in.

I think Rowoon is doing his best work to date in DWY. The plot is all over the place, but he is anchoring the show IMO. Which says good things. But I am also worried about this upcoming show as the writer doesn't have great work. A lot of good actors signed on, though, so maybe the script was impressive? I think Rowoon could be really big if he can have a breakout role.
Usually the sceipt reading bits would give us an inkling on how the leads' chemistry will be. Sadly, I don't see…
Yeah I felt that, too! They seemed very stale in the pictures. I'll wait till we see the poster--that usually gives a good hint on the chemistry. He's been working with a lot of noona leads lately, so I'm curious how he does with a younger actress. I haven't seen her in anything.

Also he has so many shades and sides of his acting. He can play any role. He needs a huge hit to really cement himself as a star.
