I don't see the hype about Park Bo Gum, Kim Jae Wook, Won Bin and Cha Eun Woo. Acting wise and look wise. Don't hit me! (but they all seem to be nice guys in rl)
Jin Se Yeon, Go Ara, Suzy, Ku Hye Sun, Song Seung Heon, Ahn Jae Hyun, Lee Sang Yoon, Kim Young Kwang and Rain are on my 'no watch or automatically skip' list....even if they're cast alongside my favs (I skipped WYWS even though I love LJS and dropped/skipped all the dramas with Jin Se Yeon after Doctor Stranger) *huge apologies to their fans*
I love Lee Seung Gi to bits but more as a singer and a variety host/guest. Couldn't bring myself to finish/watch his dramas after "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho".
Dropped the highly critically acclaimed 'Misty' because it was utterly boring, pretentious/pompous imho.
Some writers are on my black list like the Hong Sis, Kim Eun Sook and Ha Myung Hee.
Haha, for some reason your comment had me LMAO. I love Song Seung Heon ...!!! Not for his acting though, but for the fact that that man is pure sex on legs.
I can't stand the Hong Sisters either ... haven't watched any of their dramas since The Greatest Love. Kim Eun Sook, I have a lot more tolerance for, but her dramas are either hit or miss for me. Ha Myung Hee is also a hit or miss writer ... for me, it's been mostly misses so far. Otherwise, I concur with your position on a lot of things.
My automatically skip list includes people like Ha Ji Won (wow, I really can't stand her, esp when she tries to aegyo & act all cute!), Lee Jong Suk (his face looks so plastic and weird!) .... along with a lot of these other young actors (you named some of them) who can barely act, but they get so much underserved attention. That's the dark side of creative industries unfortunately ... quality becomes way too subjective.
