yeah, i watch shows he is in because i do not pick shows only based on who the male lead actor is. this one i picked up because i liked the webtoon and I'm a fan of female lead actress. i would still watch it, no matter who was the lead actor. it does makes sense. just some people have more than one criteria to consider when they pick dramas.

I think it's time to bring back my improved poster, because this is exactly my mental state right now 🤡

after wedding gifts are exchanged legally speaking the husband can claim a woman as his bride. And the guy said that he is going to kill Jang Hyun if they run away and it would be his right, because that was the punishments for infidelity. Would he really kill him? We don't know. But the issue is - he could.

Nokdu flower - male lead and the actress playing his mother

also made a mistake, she is 2 years older than him. still too young to play his mother hahaha

as far as I know destined with you with original work, while A Good Day To Be a Dog is based on a webtoon that has been out since 2017, so if anything, Destined With You gives similar vibes to that webtoon

I literally thought she was his wife until he called her mother 🤡
no visible age difference there

here it's honestly not even that bad. At the end of the day his character is supposed to be like 10 years older than high schoolers. There is a show where an actress 2 years YOUNGER than the actors plays his mother 🤡

I'm so happy I barely remember anything from the webtoon, because a lot of fun scenes are as refreshing and fun as if I never knew the story hahaha
The ending of episode 2 is just 🤡🤡🤡🤡

i mean, he is only 2 years older than the actor playing high schooler Choi Yul 😅
Also, Eun Woo does look young for his age and this styling makes him look younger too.

Can't talk about Wonderful World, ain't out. But in terms of dramas he takes more or less two type of roles that fit into two boxes. Would love to see him in something more serious as a leading role. Kind of like Ji Chang Wook was stuck as either action or silly rom-com actor, but then took If You Wish Upon Me and played Yoon Kyeo Re, which was a different role than anything he previously tried. I want a project like that for Eun Woo too.

People should be free to criticize and voice their opinions about both good and bad. Obviously, one should be careful how they express their criticisms, because while all opinions are fair, how he express them is a different story.

That said, if everyone just focused on the good aspects of the shows, at least for some people comment sections would be useless, because every show would just simply seem like a perfect production with no flaws - it would not be informative.

Also, I am jealous of your free time if you were able to check the completed lists of all the people who made negative comments about Eun Woo and find out if they watched other dramas from other lead actors 👍🏻

Well... More or less you are both kind of wrong. It's true he did not gain popularity for being Astro member, but he also did not gain popularity thanks to his acting skills. He gained popularity for the fact since he literally looks like a male lead from webtoon character coming to life. While Astro was not popular, he himself was the only member getting recognition because of his looks, getting invites to variety shows etc. His looks are also the reason he got popular as an actor, because he did fit visually the roles of characters from webtoons. That said, if all he had were looks, he would not stay popular. Gaining popularity is one thing, keeping it is another.

While I think people do overexaggerate how bad he is, for me he is simply doing himself disservice taking roles like this one. It ads to his popularity, but sticking to similar roles and similar genres does nothing to improve his skills. That's why, even though I thought Island was a mess of a show, I actually liked Eun Woo in it a lot, because the character was far more expressive and emotions driven compared to his previous works.

That I agree with. Putting all your energy in things you dislike makes watching a show senseless and takes away from things one does enjoy. That said, it's fair to point out both things we like and dislike about specific titles. And if someone dislikes Eun Woo's acting... so be it 🙃

the people that complain dont like and are not massive fan of any of the leads either < and how do you know that from their one or two short comments?

I'm not saying there are no people hating on him for no reason, but the idea that people should just avoid all the dramas he is in if they don't like his acting is as ridiculous as baseless hate he is receiving from some folks. Because he is not the only aspect that makes the drama, and people might tune in to watch it for other reasons than him, or even despite him being in it even if they don't like him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

here comes the issue (and I myself don't really mind Eun Woo as an actor. I think roles of a stoic or even cold lead don't fot him and he fits the playful cheeky ones more tho): he is not the only actor in the show. So let's say someone is a massive fan of any of the other cast members - it's not just "no one forces you, stop watching, why are you watching" situation - they watch for the other cast members, or they really like the plot....

There are more reasons to watch a show even if you dislike the acting from one of the main cast and the idea that people who dislike Eun Woo should just avoid his shows instead of complaining about his acting is extremely simplistic and has little to do with reality.

Damn the opening scene makes me angry. How much of a dick a dude can be to try to pressure his girlfriend for a kiss in a public place... Like... it's fine to be frustrated because your gf does not want to kiss you at all one freaking year into the relationship, but then talk, and if she does not want to tell you why and it's something you just cannot accept - break up. It's fine. What is not fine is trying to make her kiss you by literally making a publish celebration out of it.

Lee Hyun Woo playing a teacher... I feel old 🤡 which is also funny, coz he is one year older than me but somehow always felt like a baby 😅

I know what's my issue with Eun Woo's acting. Because of his big eyes his resting face looks constantly surprised 🤣

The girl in pink is PRETTY COOL. How she opened the beer bottles with her leg! Damn. That's a skill.

Eun Woo often gets cast as this cold barely speaking lead, when the flirty, playfully cheeky little shit fits his sooooooooooooo much more (like Father Johan lol)

Yo the whole kissing scene 🤣🤣🤣 I would move countries 🙃

THE FUCKING DOG POV WHEN SHE GOES HOME WITH THAT SONG IS A MASTERPIECE 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I mean... I read the webtoon so I know who the dude talking about the curse it, BUT even if I did not, the lips are obvious hahaha

I read the whole webtoon, but I honestly do not remember that much from it. Anyway, first episode was fine. Your typical webtoon rom-com drama 😅

it's a symbolism of Biblical flood! 🤡

Snow Monster attempts to answer that question < this is a really profound and important question to be answered, so we should be glad this movie exists 🤣

The side characters and their stories are honestly great and kept me going 👍🏻

and we get to tag along on this prolonged pain < yeah and here is where it did not click, with me, I felt no pain... no nothing tbh, hence the drama did not have an impact on me 🥲
