Sageuk Lover

i can’t help but be interested in this case. because if someone like him ends up implicated, other big figures who did something bad can get implicated or at least a condemnation too.

You should at least try The Crowned Clown to see if you'll like sageuk. Yeo Jin Goo is the lead in this one and he plays a dual role. Just like modern dramas, different sageuks have different types and different audiences to appeal to.

Here’s an email template and where you’ll send your email if you want male lead removed from the show: https://x.com/xxxtaerixxx/status/1901484781130678726?s=46. The tweet and message in the link is not mine.
(I want to help the other cast members who worked hard for this so their work is not wasted).

Happy Birthday Kim Min Seo! Great in both Sungkyunkwan Scandal and Moon Embracing the Sun. She’s my favorite adult cast member of Moon Embracing the Sun.

It’s intense but there’s melodrama aspects too. Moon Chae Won’s character has some similarities to her character from The Princess Man. If you didn’t like it upon watching the first episode, I hope you continue at least until episode 5, that’s where everything changes.
While Flower of Evil is great, The Princess Man remain my most favorite Moon Chae Won project.

They have different plots but both male leads are madly in love with the female lead. They express their love quite differently but both are very obvious about their feelings. The actors for the male leads of both shows are great friends in real life they acted in Good Manager 2017 kdrama (which I'm currently watching).

You can try
- The Red Sleeve
- Six Flying Dragons
- Empress Ki
- The Princess Man
- Tree with Deep Roots
- Painter of the Wind
- Hwang Ji Ni (Ha Ji Won version)
- Jeong Nyeon
- King and the Clown (film )
- Jewel in the Palace
- Yi San 2007
- Dong Yi

Belated Happy Birthday. I love your acting in My Dearest (my first drama of yours) and I'm enjoying Good Manager!

I don't know about you but I just felt that Yeo Jin Goo (younger version of male lead) acted better than him in Moon Sun

weird that he gets a lot of credit for Moon Sun when the child actors carried that drama. I think that sageuk is overrated aside from the child actors. The two sageuks it was competing against in Baeksang (The Princess Man and Tree with Deep Roots) had better plot and more complex stories. Then his other drama that made him more popular (My Love from the Star), I didn't get anything special from his acting either. To be honest I just know he' s popular because a lot of fans admire him but I just don't see what's special in his acting from the two shows mentioned (I didn't watch his other dramas but I heard his costars always outshone him).

even his drama where his female lead has weak acting (Moon Embracing Sun), he was overacting. I would have been bashed just a week ago if I say that the Baeksang he got for this drama is not well deserved. It should have gone to Han Suk Kyu (https://mydramalist.com/people/968-han-seok-kyu), his baeksang competitor that year who acted better as a King in the better sageuk Tree with Deep Roots (https://mydramalist.com/2785-deep-rooted-tree).
The way his child version in Moon Embracing the Sun Yeo Jin Goo outshone him too.

I'm not 100% sure I believe he's the highest paid actor. How can he get higher pay than Lee Byung Hun (not his fan either but he has been successful in Kdrama, had the best selling and awarded movies, and has even penetrated Hollywood)?

He never blamed her. The incident happened in 2017. For years he was hated by Seohyun fans, Seohyun fans only started bashing SYJi after they knew her involvement in 2021.
SYJi and this guy’s kakaotalk is real.

yeah, where are the mydramalist posts about his scandal? there was usually posts about other actor’s scandals but not this overrated guy? 😡

Why are there no articles about this guy's scandal here in mydramalist. So problematic and overrated at the same time

I hope so too. She deserves hallyu level popularity. I also hope she does a female centric historical drama (but it should be as good as this drama).

I saw your watched shows (because your profile pic is Moon Chae Won so I decided to check your profile) and it seems you haven't watched Moon Chae Won's dramas Flower of Evil and Innocent Man or her costume drama film War of the Arrows . I really recommend you watch these. Flower of Evil is fairly recent and most new kdrama fans know her from this

The story is complete and I don't think this drama needs a sequel. They ended this show beautifully.

I guess he was overcome with his love for the female lead and his unborn child that he couldn't kill his child's grandpa anymore. It doen't help that he was already going blind and thus can no longer continue his revenge.

It depends on the age gap. If it's someone close to 16 years, then it's okay. But if they have a big age gap, then it's not.
I'm not sure how to judge people from historical times (16 year old girl and guy more than 6 years older) seeing each other as times were different back then.
In the male lead's case, it's not just the age gap and the fact that she's a minor, but also that he refused to accept her pleas to give her some time to pay his company her debts (his company was her agency too). I've also read that she did some work for the company when she had joined and it was without pay (she was his girlfriend when she joined) which makes it worse.
