can I watch Part 2 before watching Part 1 or will I miss things?
I think you can because there is a quick reminder of what happened in part 1 at the beginning. And the story is different from what happened in part 1 so I think it's okay. ;)
The latest episode was a little bit absurd, and it was way too short overall, but it was a really nice love story, Chu Young Woo and Won Hyung Hoon were really good. And it's the first Korean drama that I watched showing so much, and in a good way, physical relations between two men.
This movie is actually very good, the rating here really don't do justice to it. Baek Sung Hyun is really good in it. This movie speaks about many important life topics. If you can understand Korean (don't seem to be available with English subtitles) you should watch it.
i just finished Warrior Baek Dong Soo recently. i was in Yoo Seung Ho craze recently so when i saw he's the SML…
The first episodes were okay, and the acting is not the problem in this drama for me, but I didn't like what they did with the story and the relationships between the characters. A lot of people praise it, but on the contrary I think it's really wrong the way they portrayed it.

As for Lovestruck in the City I really liked it a lot. To me it's finally something new and different, and not the usual rom-com. It has a nice aesthetic and realistic vibe, a really nice combo.

Well, actually I'm not in these actors and really disliked "It's okay not to be okay" so I can't say I wish for that haha. I'd really like to see him in a sageuk again or an historical movie. I actually really want him to go to movies, I'm sure he can get great roles there and show all his talent, even if watching him in dramas his a pleasure.

Yes, Warrior Baek Dong Soo was a huge step in his career. And I'm sure you'll be impressed by his role in Empress Ki too when you watch it. All the professionals's and people's critics were very good and, personally, that's the first drama with Ji Chang Wook I watched and how I became a fan. It's true that it's not easy to start watching a very long sageuk few years after its release, but usually it's worth the time (currently watching a 80 episodes one !). And the good thing with "old" sageuks is that they don't really aged in a bad way, just the quality of the images is a bit off sometimes. ^^
As for his choices, well, I don't think he really compromised with his latest, not so well received, projects because he clearly said in interviews his reasons for his choices (for exemple that he wanted to work with a certain director, or that a character really appealed to him or he really liked the overall script, etc.). But I do hope he can have a commercial success with a drama or a movie in the future, so even more people root for him.
Ji Chang Wook is a great actor. "Lovestruck in the City" perfectly shows it, even if Park Jae Won was indeed a pitiful character (but actually an hopeless romantic guy which I can relate to personally). For most people, he is just a very handsome and charming man, they always bring out "Healer", "The K2" (in which he was great right !), so of course, they just want him to play "popular" roles. But that's easy. People need to see much wider, and listen to Ji Chang Wook himself as he explained several times that he choose his last dramas especially to try new things, push and improve himself as an actor. I loved his cool characters too, but I respect and like it even more since he decided to play much more difficult characters, making him less confortable and less likable kind of. He nailed it every time, even if the drama was a flop. As much as I liked him in charismatic roles, I'm not even hoping for that in the future. I hope he takes more role in movies. I'm sure it will make become one of the most recognized Korean actor for his talent, maybe even internationally if he choose a movie that goes in foreign festivals.
His dramas from Empress ki to SP were all good .Different characters in all the dramas,with an aura of himself.Even…
"He is starting to create an image of self pity." Nope. There is a difference between a character played by an actor and the actor himself. The dramas are "down" from the point of view of viewership and appreciation by people, but if people take some time to think about it objectively, despite liking or not the drama, he perfectly portray the characters he is playing, and he is better and better after each drama, even if the dramas are not well received.
As a dude, I usually only have a passing interest in the MLs, but he is one that really entertains me. I am going…
Ji Chang Wook's fanboy here. Your comment made me genuinely laugh. ^^ Song Kang Ho is really a great actor indeed. As for recommendations, here are the others actors I really like in movies or dramas : Kim Jae Wook, Yoo Ji tae, Jo Jin Woong, Jang Hyuk, Joo Ji Hoon, Lee Jong Suk, Lee Sung Min, Kim Mu Yeol, Yoo Ah In and Woo Do Hwan.
I know right ?!? If they are already producing BL Dramas then why just not stick until the end . Why those 15…
Exactly, I felt the same with "Where Your Eyes Linger" and "Mr. Right" for example, but this one really deserve much more than those few minutes. Unfortunately, it must be a matter of money, as always. There is still not enough big investment for this kind of drama in Korea. And actually, the main watchers are foreigners. Koreans still won't watch this enough to make it profitable. But they will go there. Two years ago there was juste few independent movies and second characters depicting romance between men, but things are slowly changing and that's great.
