I just remembered this drama and omg I am already crying just thinking about it. Still so impactful even if I haven't watched it in 6 years. really one of the most breathtakingly emotional series I've ever watched. Incredible performances, profound story. Just love it. And Episode 10 is still a masterclass.
Well more than costars i think it's the direction and the plot which makes him express his acting more
Yes definitely. I also didnt mean that like he only does well with good co-stars. Good actors drawing out the best in him is not a criticism of him, just that good chemistry goes a long way.
But I agree, like even in shows like Love Alarm and Nevertheless, his performance isnt what makes those shows flawed or weak. It just didnt give him the kind of material that allows him to give more nuance and more multi-faceted performance. Like the roles and the shows themselves hold him back from his potential.
Perhaps something that might have an effect on Song Kang's performances is the cast around him. Aside from finding the right role for his strengths, it seems the right co-star can bring out the best in him. Like the great veteran Park In Hwan in Navillera and now Jun Young in Four Hands. Him sharing a strong chemistry with his co-star who is able to lift him up and allow him to stand on his own, rather than relying on typical romantic pairings, etc seems to be the sweet spot for an excellent Song Kang performance.
I think Song Kang shines more in non- romantic genre than romantic. Look at the difference in his acting in Navillera…
Absolutely! Navillera and Four Hands are his two strongest performances I think. Really showcases how good he can be as an actor. I think more than non-romantic, I think just more serious and deeper roles. Even Forecasting Love and Weather, he is much better there as a romantic lead than his other romance roles since it is a more serious, slowburn kind of series.
He was a standout in Uncanny Counter so I was excited to see him on Legend of Kitchen Soldier and he is really so good! He can be intimidating and scary one moment and then adorable and cute the next! Hope to see him in more lead roles! He deserves it!
I came in expecting it was like a "ghost of the week" type of procedural mixed in with romcom. But it really was just romcom with some ghosts thrown in. That disappointed me. But even so, I enjoyed it very much. It was fun, fluffy, lighthearted. Great cast. Especially Park Eun Bin and Yang Se Jong of course.
I think you could probably compress a few of the last episodes so this would end up a tighter 10 episode series instead. But easily 12 episodes if they did more helping of ghosts.
Looking forward to this one! What an unexpected, but appealing pairing! And excited especially for Kim Sung Cheol as a romcom lead! He and Jin Ki Joo will be great.
Im on episode 5 now. Almost every single character is annoying in some way, especially the other teachers and Sejin. And Hangyul falling all over himself to try and win her is cringe. Bro, you can do so much better.
Its a good thing Ahn Bo Hyun is just that good and he and Lee Joo Bin have great, fun chemistry. But omg, ill go and finish this, but ill be skipping past anything that doesnt involve the lead couple.
No matter how crazy the villains or situations might get, the show will still work as long as the main focus is on Gun Woo and Woo Jin and their brotherhood. I think maybe the strongest part of season 2 was showing how their brotherhood has brought in more people onto their "team" so to speak.
how u know that lol?i wanna see so bad the first recording of his man 4
They posted the clip of Jae Ha and Hyeong Jun's first date from the original taping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5HlTwH1AGM You can see the house they stayed at in the beginning of the clip. It's the same one here.
