It's like Byeon Woo Seok's characters are made to have sad endings one way or another 😓Either is unalive or…
Oh he was so good as the SML in Moonshine, I can only imagine how great he would be if he is going to in a historical drama as main lead.
Also, would love to see him in mature modern stories - he has done it early in his career - Office Love and ModuLove etc, but they did not have as much viewership. In fact even Soulmate saw him grow from high school to an adult role and so did Lovely Runner.
Really want him to play a character closer to his age - pretty sure he will slay!
After Goblin in 2016, he also acted as a righteous doctor in Life (2018), a psycho killer in Strangers from Hell…
Aptly put - which is am liking the announcement of this show as shared in this article and wishing that he gets and takes up projects which has more diverse "human" roles as you have put it :)
Like of course the mythological character roles will remain iconic - but I don't want his name to become restricted just to that.
Not sure if many have seen it - but I have seen many reels/shorts have that list for K-drama actors that goes like:
Actor who is always Rich: Lee Min Ho Actor who is always a mythical creature: Lee Dong Wook Actor who is a Vampire: Lee Soo Hyuk
It is not like they have not done other stuff - but they have come to be recalled as these roles/traits - which is why I hope they are cast into so many diverse roles that we remember all of their roles well.
Not sure if am able to articulate this well - but which is why this article and role made me happy and excited.

Of course he is - but for most people, like a general survey if you were to do - people recall his characters of Grim Reaper and Nine Tails. It also means that those characters are iconic/have a more recall factor and were immensely popular.
It is just an opinion - I remember Lee Dong Wook since his My Girl (2005) days and know what a fine diverse actor it is. But I feel the newer audience does not probably know him in such varied roles hence the comment.

Couldn't agree more. One those people who give it their all, and in this case am assuming more so given that he did not get the fame/recognition up until a long time later. This is a result of hardwork which is why works like Lovely Runner, SGNS, Soulmate etc have bought his the much deserved love and popularity.
Hi! I'm also impressed by Lee Hyun Wook's acting. First time in She Would Never Know. Have u seen it? Actually…
Heyy! So in She Would Never Know - I know his role is very minimal as the ex-boyfriend/fiancé? (can't remember exact). Also the whole show was a quite slow for me so I did not watch it.
But loved every bit of him in Remarriage and Desires as a main lead though have seen his bit part in Strangers from Hell, which also was really something.
Hence looking to find more shows/movies where I can see more of him, and obsess all over again :P
Would be great to see him in such a role - somewhere down the line I feel he has been become typecasted into roles of mythical origin (Grim Reaper and Nine Tails). While they have been good, a man of his caliber needs more diverse projects!
This story could easily have been a 12 episode series and could’ve been done very well. There’s just not enough…
I am yet to start this series, and yes wanted to watch it for Suho. But like how you have shared in your comment, many dramas prolong it to 16-20 episodes whereas they could have kept it crisp and wrapped in 10-12 eps.
Just curious - even with what am assuming would be a drag post Ep 12, is it worth starting and enjoyable - or skip?
Regarding I-na and her birth mother, so glad they clarified what exactly happened in Ep 9. I was fearing the worst but so glad it wasn't what we were being led to believe
Details in first comment below - and did anyone else also think the same? Do share.

I thought that Ina read her mother's mind before the accident and knew that she purposely did the accident. Like a double suicide. Thank goodness that was not the case, and it was an accident.
While am assuming, the mother was depressed and thought Ina was guilty, because it was her birth moment that made Gwi-ju take note of the yellow door, going back in that exact time cause of Ina but exhausted himself trying to save his firefighter friend/senior. She probably thought had Ina not been born, then Gwi-ju would have not been caught in this vicious cycle, by going back to that moment - and paid more attention living in the present. While it was not her fault but I can see how this has impacted Ina, built on by the fact that other family members including her father have been neglecting her over the years.
It is sad, tragic - and shows us - we should learn to live and enjoy the present!
The father-daughter bond is so precious, even within such fast and less screen-time. ❤️ Still can't believe Jang Ki Yong to be a father, it seems a little weird when I think about his other roles, but he and Park So Yi are totally slaying it
Looks like we will have more such cute family moments - in Ep 10, as well as we are heading towards the finale, so many cliffhangers ahead!
Cinderella theme is my guilty pleasure :) Although I like it when there's some twist to the theme.And in this…
Yay! Hi-five for the common love we share for the theme. And yes, I cannot wait to see this interpretation - this is quite different from the usual pitiful rags to riches stories that I have usually seen as the focus is romance.
Here too it is going to be the center - after all it is a rom-com, but so far the episodes have been so whacky. I think Cinderella and her Four Knights started with a similar theme where she works hard to get rid of her debts/bad step-family, even Goblin had similar themes but they all focused on romance angle too quickly and the ML's became their knights way too soon IMO. Nothing wrong with that as I enjoyed that too and it was something very typical.
But here - guessing that it is going to be a hilarious ride, the ML is going to save her for sure - but the FL also seems strong minded and gutsy, and right from the start her opinions are very clear - she wants to avoid issues by marrying rich. Not a long way about it 😂
Anyways too early to speak so well about any drama - I intend to get obsessed too quickly only for dramas to fall flat towards the end. So while I am hyped about it - lets see how this one turns out to be. Waiting eagerly for Friday already! 😁

Cause I see Ep 7 and 8 still missing.

In fact see this clip: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7iVJ9PPGlL
He is Sun Jae IRL 😂😂😂`

Hopefully this ends on a high note!
But 8 episodes only, I hope it will complete and not have multiple seasons.
