Sageuk Lover

He's also great in movie Forbidden Dream such a fantastic portrayal

I feel SJK dramas are very divisive. His dramas and movies are received differently by people because most of them are very different from each other. But his acting never disappoints. Just because he isn't part of the so called beginning of hallyu wave in the 2000s doesn't make him any less than the actors that got popular in that era. I personally think he's more versatile than most actors that got popular in that era as (except for a very few, namely actors who showed unique talent from sageuk dramas and movies at that time ) as he has shown more variety in his roles and he played all of them really well.
I feel the need to say this since I find some of his ex’s fans so annoying downplaying him on twitter (I don't hate her in fact I think she's pretty and she's not a bad actress, but her fans downplaying his career just makes me so annoyed) just because he got started acting and got popular later than her. The main reason he wasn't super popular prior to DOTS was simple: he hadn't had a romcom lead drama before that show. But he was on his way: he was a fan favorite in Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Innocent Man and Werewolf Boy were really popular and he even was nominated in Baeksang for the latter (against veteran actors 40+ years old), his short stint in Tree with Deep Roots received good reviews, he also had many offers after his successes even before DOTS. Plus his recent post DOTS projects, he got casted in them mostly because of his connection to his pre-DOTS projects. Arthdal Chronicles writers were the same people who worked with him in Tree with Deep Roots, its director is the one who did Sungkyunkwan Scandal. He was cast in Vincenzo because of his portrayal in Innocent Man, he got Space Sweepers because he worked with director in Werewolf Boy, him and Reborn Rich writer worked together in Sungkyunkwan Scandal.
As long as he isn't doing anything criminal, I wish people shouldn't judge him base on his private life.

those are not her children, the children she was with in her pics are the children of her friend. there are no rumors in Italy (country she was based in) about her having children. people in Italy quite know her because she was once in a movie popular for teenagers back in 2000s. it's only the korean tabloids putting up these rumors

Usually around May

This awards show is only for SBS channel. The 3 main stations in Korea are free channels like SBS, KBS, MBC, they've been around for more than 25 years at least. These have the tradition of awarding the dramas aired every year in their stations at the last day of the year. TVN, ENA, JTBC, etc are newer cable channels sadly they don't have the tradition of awarding dramas from their stations. You have to wait for major award shows like Baeksang or APAN which encompasses awarding all TV shows from various channels.

Lee Joon Gi and Kim Nam Gil on the same room, such a nice night to behold. Congrats to both.

really excited to see it, hope they cast good actors for the other female leads

this drama is described by the actors and director as 80% melo and 20% thriller. you might try to watch with this on mind. try at least til episode 11.

there's always news about them both as they're both extremely popular. don't believe anything unless confirmed

yeah, but I wish people could just give him positive comments? he doesn't need haters he has so many already. even some people here who are obviously his haters and never watched his dramas put negative comments on his dramas mydramalist pages. then more people throw hate at him just because of his personal life. just wish him well and see how it goes.

It's really hard to be a fan of Song Joong Ki. People keep bashing him even if they've seen NONE of his works. If you don't care about him just don't comment. Just let the man live his life for goodness sakes.

He's especially amazing in Tree with Deep Roots, Arthdal Chronicles and his movie Werewolf Boy. Maybe you can just check his clips there.

the girl was an actress in the past. acted with people famous in Italy. She even have a commercial with George Clooney. i recknon it would be easier for her to date a european/american actor than someone not coming from western culture if she's just looking for fame.

there are many international couples in the world. SJK is not the first one to marry a foreigner who can't speak to his parents language. Even I myself attended a wedding of a Japanese and a Hong Konger and they had to use translators to talk to the parents of the couple. Just let SJK date who he wants.

Watching mainly for Kim Nam Gil.

100% agree. If the same thing happened on Alchemy of Souls for example I doubt people would cancel that one as that drama's cast and writers are more popular.

so booked and busy I'm so excited for all his upcoming dramas

I added to my watchlist as Ha Ji Won is a bias but Ryu Seung Ryong is here too? Makes me more excited to see.

my forever Bidam

Yeah, SJK was great in season 1 (I personally think Arthdal was his best leading role project) so I'm really sad he's not gonna be around. He has great expressions in the drama and acted his role really well. But LJG will do justice to the roles I'm sure.
