Weird Acting you've Noticed

The guy that is in Tamra has a korean stepmother and he should have some stage experience.

Yup, just that and he was in Personal Taste as guest actor.

But really, its ridiculus like in Secret Garden when the english of the foreigner is much worser than that of the korean actors. Hey Phillip Lee's english was way better than that of the director.


Another thing that bothers me is now that I watched Thank You.

Sometimes the actors don't hear what the person next to them said, but hear what a person in the next room whispers. A diffrent situation is on stormy days. You have to shout so that the other person hears you, but in dramas somehow, when two person talk in the stormy rain a third party far away from them can hear what they are talking about.

Yeah, I was surprised at the decency of JaeHee's brother's acting...and I liked that he actually spoke some Korean. I find it amusing when the foreign actors are supposed to be American but have these really thick unrecognizable accents (note that awkward actor from episode 5 of "Innocent Man")...maybe Australian or New Zealand, or something...?

Oh man... I love King 2 Hearts, but all the horrible acting from the from the foreigners made me cringe. If I ever re-watch the drama, I don't think I'll be able to sit through episodes 14 & 15 again... the acting from the guys/girls who were supposed to be Americans (in which some didn't even have American accents) was too much for me in those episodes. >.<

which?

I hate when actors over-emphasise emotions because they think the audience is too stupid to read between the lines. But i also hate when the acting isn't deep enough and it is not intense enough. Guess i'm just picky :/

He did that twice in the show.
Just to promote the phones...i just wish the director or someone realised there were better opportunities to advertise then just that ridiculous moment.

That made me go....whuuuuuuuut daaa eeef????

ahahahahha this, totally this. I laughed when i saw those scenes.
How the hell can he hear anything with the helmet on?? Lmao

It's exaggeration.. I'm also bothered by those moments.. But I let them pass, I don't want to be bothered by them and ruin my mood for the rest of the episode..

HAHAHAH LOL I NEVER NOTICED! Still he's cute and hot!
