Caution:if you are BWS die-hard fan kindly skip on this one. I have stated an opinion based on my reasonable and…
Live adaptation of fantasy thrillers which are heavily focused on style and being cool dont require actors with high emotional depth. And bws like you said is not a bad actor. So why is he being criticised for being selected for the role?
Its totally upto an actor whether they want to be more of a commercial actor or not. Maybe bws and his management want to establish his stardom before taking up non commercial roles. Just one succeful drama isnt gonna cement someone's starvalue for the long run. Jcw kind of did that. He was all into commercial projects before enlistment and by that time he established himself as a backable star. Then he started experimenting. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didnt. But he improved a lot as an actor in this process.
bws has lean muscular build and he has better screen presence than njh.
The same njh who does dramas where the entrire heavy lifting is done by the female lead or the second male lead completely overshadows him. He got an amazing talent management agency who gets him good dramas where he is not the main focus and when he ends up being the main focus the dramas flop hard.

For heavy action dramas, a star with strong screen presence is needed than an actor with strong emotional depth. bws has that type of screen presence and actors do have to train a lot for action scenes. its not fully cgi. they have to work on the choreography and with no proper security it can be dangerous as well. its not something that can be brushed aside. Bws might not be some extra ordinary actor but he isnt expressionless either. he has enough acting skills to not be bad in an action fantasy. his screen presence and character were the only good thing about strong girl namsoo. not all good looking guys with good physique will have good screen presence. In LR he might not have had the kind of emotionally charged scenes like KHY but he was cast perfectly. he managed to look good as a highschooler, college student and a 30+ actor. its a well written character but one cannot find any fault in his performance either. an actor with better acting skills could have done the emotional scenes better but would they be able to look like the character? he did manage to bring out the innocence of a highschooler in love and had the rizz as a 33 yr old popular actor. if he didnt had decent enough acting skills no matter how good the director or writing is, the character wouldnt have been popular. sunjae is not the first love sick fully devoted kdrama male lead. but he is among the few who ended up being a sensation.
seems like its a 13-14 yr old kid. if those flashback scene is his actual age then that spirit being attracted to seonga and trying to kiss her was pretty awkward.
i genuinely felt bad for pyo ji ho the entire episode. seonga could have explained things to him. he is such a selfless friend till now and he has been getting beaten up by the evil menace. seonga didnt even bat an eye when he got punched twice.
“Zero Intelligence”? Please re-check these scenes:1. Who discovered the identity of the hit-and-run suspect—the…
Everyone is finding something or the other and dong ju did had the advantage of already getting a glimpse of the hit and run guy as he was there at the spot. He just screams out everything he thinks and wants to do to the villain himself. Infront of the villain he dont come off as a strong character. The only likablity is that the character is played by park bo gum who is fresh from wlgyt.
I do have my set of genres which i enjoy and dont enjoy. The first few episodes reminded me of the movie extreme job which is among my fav kmovies and also has a similar premise. So the genre of this drama definitely is my taste. I like action comedies and this drama does have some good action and comedy but overall the characters are not appealing to me esp the leads.
This drama made me loose interest in it way too fast. 5 mins into ep 5 and i am done with dong ju. He has zero intelligence and is annoying to the level that i want the villain to win. I am actually rooting for the villain. Dong ju is like a rabies dog who just barks without any cause. He is embarrrising at times the way he acts. Ju yeong is calm, collective and clever making him a way more interesting character.
I dont know why this one even needs a love story. Its very boring and the leads barely have any chemistry. Just keep jong hyeon out of this triangle. Hana is such a plain and boring character. The makers tried hard to make her a badass but she is intresting only when she has a gun in her hand.
I like the other three characters in the team but they arent good enough to keep the entire drama interesting. They barely have anything else to do other than handle dong ju's erractic behaviour. The chief and jae hong are like baby sitters who are always stressed thinking what will dong ju do next.
For a moment there I forgot his first love wasnt the fl (on ep 4)The female lead has been kinda unlikeable so…
She was his first love. He just had a crush on that other girl. He forgot all about her as soon as he went on a blind date with the fl and when he goes back he kept wondering why he stopped pursuing her.

Is it just me or da jeong borrows her daughter's clothes? It dont look age appropriate in the initial episodes.
