"The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" Best Drama, Ju Ji Hoon Best Actor and Choo Young Woo Best Rookie Actor ! Congratulations !

Since the beginning, many years ago, I think his popularity is overrated because I never found him good as an actor in what I saw him. It's my opinion, based on my tastes. I was born well before 2000, watch more movies than dramas (from all over the world actually), and I think "Queen of Tears" and "Lovely Runner" were mediocre dramas. So it's stupid to do this kind of generalisation.

It's just a matter of taste and likes. And honestly, the Overseas Hallyu Survey, just like any polls, isn't a true representation of reality. It sure mesures a certain level of popularity, but that doesn't mean it's absolute. And as for many things, popularity doesn't equal quality or true talent too. Considering the numbers of morons popular these days thanks to stupid things, it's even more true than ever.

Good for him if he is loved by many fans, but it's only natural that others people can find him overrated too amongst the many Korean actors.

Young Woo received the "Best New Actor" award at the Blue Dragon Series Awards for his role of Yang Jae Won in "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" ! Congratulations !

And also the "Best Drama" award for "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" and "Best Actor" award for Ju Ji-hoon !

"drawing 80 million views within 91 days of its release"

"K-Pop Demon Hunters" was released on Netflix June 20th, so it's only been 28 days. Which is even more impressive.

Well, apparently we are fools because there is nothing gay at all in all that, so if there is no homosexuality, there is no homophobia. How convenient. Our brains must not work properly if we think that two men engaging in an emotional and sexual relationship on screen in 2025 is a representation of gay men. Even if one of them says he is gay, he is not !

His deer eyes, sensual lips, strong arms and body. This man is so alluring. He exudes sexiness in such an elegant way and is so charming. ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOmi2UpvxS0

I have loved him since the first second I saw him in "You Make Me Dance" but he is really becoming better and better every year. Such an amazing actor.

It's just so good, I'm so happy about it. It's been a while since a regular Korean rom-com felt almost perfect to me. I really didn't expected that for this one. Of course being a big fan of Choo Young Woo and Kim Mi Kyung I knew it would be nice, but all the cast is doing great. Young Woo and Yi Hyun have an amazing chemistry and I wouldn't mind watching them paired again in the future. Only the character Ji Ho was a bit annoying in the last episodes (it's such a looser and pathetic attitude to go for a girl you already know is in love with another man, who loves her too), but it's okay because they didn't pushed it too far. Definitely the best Korean drama I have seen about shamanism so far. I hope the last four episodes and the ending will be as good and won't disappoint.

Chae Min is looking good in this poster. I'm also looking forward to see Seo Yi Sook as the queen dowager.

Chae Min is looking very good as a Joseon king in this poster.

Not a single one of the Joseon's kings looked like a actor of the 21th century thought... Or maybe you meant your idea of a king in a sageuk.

Thank you for giving me hope again about the comment sections. <3 There are still people who can accept that others can share a different opinion, even a negative one, without lecturing them for their tastes but respectfully exchange their views and takes on it.

You have a good point indeed on the cultural aspect of it. These two episodes were enough for me, I'm moving on. ^^ I hope you enjoy the next episodes.

It's like you read me like an open book. 🥺 More seriously, thank you for understanding and explaining it so well. 👌

"and pursuing her work as an actress." She is mainly an idol, not a single role in seven years (!), and this news as nothing with acting... You really have nothing more interesting to write ? Something related to real actors maybe ? Or movies ? Dramas, no ? I see plenty of such news you don't report on here thought.

That's very true.

Thank you. ;) They are not from me, I don't have this talent, but I commissioned them to a very talented artist I know.

"40 Made ni Shitai 10 no Koto" Episode 1, 20 minutes and 15 seconds. Character Tanaka Keishi : "I'm gay too".

@ KesRit "So no, it does not represent gay men".

I'm really the foolish one indeed. Sorry professor.

I agree, but fantasies don't necessarily excludes realism neither. I have watched and loved many BLs that are total fantasies but still feel realistic to me. But of course it depends on what realism is for someone, because the definition can vary from a person to another. I never wrote that others can't have or believe in such fantasies in my comment, all the contrary, just that for me this one don't work and is too far off reality.

I don't get why people can't accept that others can have and express a different opinion without immediately excluding it. It's just dramas and movies, not life and death matters, everybody has different tastes and can express it. Discussing it is one thing, but immediately dismissing others opinions isn't correct. So thank you for this respectful exchange.

"which to me means you consider you have wasted time on them aka you feel bad about it" Your conclusion is wrong. It's not because I watched two episodes and didn't enjoyed it that I feel like I wasted my time or feel bad about it. It's just a BL after all.

Yes, I will not watch further, but I'm still allowed to express my mind about it here if I want. Why feel the need to say that to someone that just expressed his opinion ? To me it's that behaviour that is very triggering. How insecure someone can be that they feel the need to tell others not to watch something just because they expressed a negative opinion about it ? You see, me too I can do baseless two cents psychological analysis based on your comment. My point is just that watchers can express their minds however they want here normally. I never get people commenting such things. It's so patronising to say that to others.

If you like it, that's good, enjoy ! As I wrote before, your comment reminded me that there is no point trying to interact here most of the time, because unlike what people pretend to be (open-minded, welcoming, tolerant, etc.), they can't stand others having different opinions and can't just debate respectfully about it, they always have to be patronising and push others away. Well, one more time, lesson learned.

How stupid of me. I thought BL were story about men falling in love and having sexual desires for each others. I guess I was wrong all along, they must be about some kind of different species and thus not be a representation of homosexual or bisexual men at all. How foolish of me really.

Thank you, I guess I couldn't have figured that out by myself.

Your comment reminds me that there are always people who don't like others people expressing their minds about what they watch if it doesn't align with their own opinion. Such an open minded and caring environment...
