Sun really needs a new representative agency, and I hope he will be cast for a new project soon.

Still nothing... I hate that. He is handsome, has a killer body, a grand talent for acting, he could portray so many various kind of characters, but he seems to have no project so far, nor an agency to represent him. He kind of gave up on YouTube apparently and even stopped to upload photos on Instagram. That would really be a shame if he went back to anonymity.

I think they really did a bad adaptation of the manhwa here. I don't feel a single thing while watching the drama that I felt while reading it. And it's not about miscommunication or characters perspectives or points of view or whatever, because that's also present in the original story, it's really the production and writing that are bad for me. And unfortunately they really poorly chose Chae Jong Hyeok to play Kim Min Jun too, in my opinion. He doesn't give justice to the character compared to the original story.

I hope he will change his representative agency, he deserves better than this creepy company. They are also terrible for promoting their artists, no Naver Post to share high quality pictures of their actors, no Youtube channel for behind the scenes or others video contents.

If you want to express a personal opinion about him, you need to write your comment differently. For now, this is only slandering. Post reported.

That's a nice pairing if it's confirmed in the end.

I read the manhwa after episode 2, and it's actually the only reason (this and Seong Seung Ha's handsome face) why I can keep watching this drama, because the original story is good and much more enjoyable (it's still a cliché BL story but it's nice) than the bad writing and production of this adaptation. That's unfortunate.

He looks so good. I really want to see him play a main role in a sageuk

Yes, and we will see unicorns flying in a sunny sky full of rainbows over them. ^^

I wish I could see things as brightly as you because, for me, that's not what I get from the two first episodes, even if I like the drama.

No one disputes the fact that the film industry relies heavily on actors' looks, especially in Korea. But producing a film is a financial investment that doesn't rely solely on someone's good looks to make a profit. If an actor is good-looking but known to be bad at acting, he won't draw crowds and therefore won't make any money.

You don't like his acting—fine, to each his own—you can write it and that you find it lousy. But writing, as you do, that he's bad, as if it were an objective truth, is not correct. Expressing a fact and an opinion are not the same thing, nor is the way of writing it.

"pls no he is a bad actor" and "Please, no, I don't like his acting and think he is bad." are very different. It still doesn't make it true in my opinion, as he wouldn't receive first roles offers if he was that bad at acting for me, but that's your opinion so I don't see any reason to contradict you if you had written it that way.

Yes of course, people are willing to spend millions of won on a bad actor. Seems like nuance and intelligence isn't your forte. Have a nice day.

Yes, that's what I though he might have wanted to say too, but it's quite unclear in the end.

A "bad actor" that is getting first roles offers continuously since his debut in 2018...
When I was a kid my mother used to say to me "Don't say it's bad, it's just that you don't like it". Just saying.

"Kim Ji Hoon has thrown his hat into the ring as his first king character since his debut." ==> 2009 "The Iron Empress" King Hyeon Jong // Support Role.

I understand that Kim Ji Hoon own words cited in the source article are confusing (I actually don't understand them), as he stated that this will be his first king role but the articles also mention that this is his return to historical dramas since 2009, so there is big lack on the fact checking here. But instead of just translate//copy/paste someone else article that can be wrong (and all the articles on this are wrong because they all share the same things, so I guess the first one that serves as source is the problem), it would be better to check the facts and information, especially when you link the profile page of the actor in the article, profile page when you can easily check the information.
This isn't a "writer" or "editor" work if you just copy/paste others writings, especially if it's wrong.

Yoon Sung Shik, the director... I didn't pay attention to that before. Now I'm sure they will mix all kind of tones and genres.

For me, yes, but everybody has to make his own judgement by watching it.

I hope he wins the Best New Actor award at the Baeksangs, and his two dramas “The Tale of Lady Ok” and “The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call” are also nominated, Ju Ji Hoon for best actor too. Happy for them.

And no nomination for the Baeksangs... Poor Chang Wook. But at least "Revolver" received several nominations, which is a confirmation of what I thought, a good movie but not for the mass audience, and Jeon Do Yeon is nominated for best actress too.

This one seems to be in line with "Lovers of the Red Sky" or "Mirror of the Witch", a Joseon type set-up with fantasy elements. Why not, it might be a good entertainment, but I don't expect anything groundbreaking though.

"quite terrifying" ? You were there ? Are those your feelings based on how you saw the news through you screen miles and miles away ? I have friends and family in Korea, some that support the president, some that are very against him. None thought it was "quite terrifying". Disturbing or worrisome, hopeless about the political situation, maybe. But not terrified. Even when the communists from the North are becoming very menacing they aren't terrified, concerned and worried at most.

As for first sentence, it was obviously an exaggeration, to mock actors. I don't even care about IU in particular. This sentence clearly shows the purpose of my comment : "Good for her if she wanted to spend money to support people who think like her, how does it concerns MDL ?"

Me and many others are tired of the so called news on this website that have nothing to do with dramas or movies, when many others news that does concern actors in links to a drama or a website are totally ignored if it's not about the top ones. That's it.

That's nice if you're enjoying it so far. It's a long run with its 50 episodes, we are not really used to it anymore, but I think it's nice to have dramas that you can watch over weeks and months, it removes some "pressure" that the short formats nowadays have. You know the end is far away so you appreciate the developments more, even if by moment things are repetitive or not very original. That's the case for me at least. ^^

"Dong Yi" is a true masterpiece and "Yi San" is very good too. I really miss watching sageuk like that. I haven't much to watch these days so I might try to rewatch one of them. "Jumong", "Queen Insoo" and "Empress Ki" are also good candidates.

My list of sageuk dramas watched isn't complete, I still haven't watched some old sageuk, and I totally avoided some recent rom-com sageuk with idol actors I really can't stand, but it's a good overview of what was done in Korea the last 30 years I think. I'm glad if it can be used as reference for people.
