junho doesnt care about his father affair ... he doesnt care about his mother revenge on his bio-mom/father ...…
What you described is a very boring and one-sided BH role :) and yeah that would be frustrating to you. And to me :) I would totally dislike BH if he mutates into a Lapdog. I am postinig a new post so that others can see it. THANK you for duscussing this, this was so helpful!!! Thank you for this conversation.
I do NOT support BH and JM regardless of what they do.... . So far BH was a reasonable and examplary in many ways, minus crawling to JM.... then JM turned into a villain... and if BH blindly supports that, and the drama mutates from "BH Knight-in-Shining-Armor to mentally dumb, stupidly arrogant, honest and kindJM" to be "BH LapDog to criminal JM" - then I am out!
not HR, but usually its a corporate compliance department
Ok that makes sense but ... does not seem to include chasing cheating husbands and office romances and kisses in the stairway between two nobodies unrelated-in-business like in this drama... :) This drama seems like a parody on real life?
I dono wt u have with poj that u mention it everywr. They all did well in their roles. Especially fl.
THE BOTTOM LINE - and that is where I want to leave this conversation - is that the ML actor in Filing for Love is a very skilled actor, he expresses so well and has a knack for comedy, AND also he is very handsome (and in a way that is real). And that FL and side actors are fantastic actors too. That is what matters right now. This drama is great and the acting is masterful.
I dono wt u have with poj that u mention it everywr. They all did well in their roles. Especially fl.
I disagree. I think Recipe for Love ML is very handsome and charming - and imo he and FL are a really cute pair. I think the issue with that ML actor is that he is not as great actor as the Uncle actor :) and forces himself to act and often looks unnatural. His overly big artificial smile and smirking is cringe :) Perhaps that's why you cannot "See" him. He is not a real actor yet :) But he is good looking for sure.
The Uncle actor is a MASTERFUL actor but is not "young and pretty like an idol" so they dont cast him as ML.... His is beautul in his own way, he i so super buff and reallly looks and carries himself like a MAN, he is a handsome man from real life, not from fashion runway or an idol group. The uncle actor is a master actor, and a master comedian too... So yes the uncle is amazing!!!! Totally 100% mesmerizing to watch - bc you never know what he will do :) We saw a great range from him. He is what you call an iconic REAL actor. Someone whom you cannot miss and whom you will remember after the drama is over.
The dramas market the more androgenous young men who look and behave like ... children lmao The idol and fashion model types. But 99.9% of them are so boring... they cannot act, and hold one facial expression the entire time. Yuck.
So that;s why Recipe for Love has that ML - to cater to the audience that cares ONLY for a pretty and young face and could care less for acting... and then Uncle actor is needed to make the drama amazing with his acting and yeah his good looks too.
And cdramas are greatly responsible for this demand for "young and pretty face and ZERO acting skills" zombie epidemics. I really wish to end it. I want to see ACTING, not a fashion show.
The increase of the success of this drama is entirely dependent on ML now, if he becomes more ... lively and animated,…
Ah InspectorMegre at your disposal! So I saw it correctly :) I have never seen that actor before and I had no idea about his previous roles :) but I Saw it :)
So I am rambling here now this is too long I appologize I dont have time to make it shorter
I think the word is EXPRESSIVE. This actor is fantastic when he can EXPRESS and INTERACT in ways that are meaningful and friendly, with underlying warmth. Bc I am not sure if he can express and interact in a, say, gangster movie, where ppl interact to do something bad... I wonder if he can do say a tight-knit gagster group that e.g. steals ... ? Probably not... Like actor who was a great loving dad in Twinkling Watermellon and also the most monstrous killer in Hello Monster and TO My Beloved Thief - his usual acting face with that kinda "spaced out smile" can be used for roles of killers or loving dads... Then here are chameleons like FL actress from Nice to Meet You - she is totally completely different in every role she does... from villain to nerd to .... Hm but the common thread is prickly...
So right now we are sure this ML is great any time it is a role that EXPRESSES WARMTH. Is warmth required or just expressing? Just trying to cast him more :) but if he is Mr. Warmth then he can have a whole career of just that :) he could be great as lover/family member/friend from .. a pair of loser thieves suffering, or as a rich and careless member? I can totally see him in a rom com where two loser people are trying to make it in the world. Kinda Fight My Way feel
SO I WILL WATCH to find out - is he just not good for John Wayne silent type roles, or he needs to have warmth...
He is for sure GREAT for rom coms, family dramas, any roles of human interaction that is based on certain honesty and friendliness.
Yes, this actor is just FANTASTIC for friendly, for comedy, for certain lightness and warmth of normal people in daily life, and he cannot even pretend cold, snotty, show off, arrogant John Wayne type :) It is clear he forces himself to be like that and doesnt like it :)
And his amazing contribution as an actor is that his being that way ENABLES OTHER ACTORS TO SHINE. E.g. FL has woken up too since he started interacting, bc he is so not threatening, it is so easy to act naturally next to him and to totally relax and play with the role. Scenes of FL telling him she is a good girl, etc are all hilarious.... .
So.... When he is allowed to act as he naturally would and INTERACT, everyone else has a chance to act more.
He actually is a FANTASTIC RESOURCE. Whoever can use this amazing gift is gonna make some amazing dramas and movies. This is a real actor.
The tsundere roles are meant for "pretty ppl who cannot act" i.e. fashion models, idols, etc who cannot really act but only hold ONE facial expression for photographs - that expression of "gloomy serious" that is supposed to be seductive in advertisements; or, fear/anxiety for women. REAL ACTORS DO NOT NEED THOSE ONE-DIMENSIONAL ROLES :)
he reminds me of the My Adjushi ML, who was also an actor who made everyone acting next to him schine. Both he and FL were so unkept, dreary, yet THEY are the actors I remember the most from hundreds of dramas I have seen.
I think the gift of My Adjushi and also of this ML actor is that they are so ... ego-free in their role and so natural in it, that the actors next to them can totally relax and really give it their best, really get into the role without any back thoughts, really get in and PLAY with it - because the actor next to them is also so natural and "playing" with it.
So I really hope they let ML actor in Our Happy Days be expressive as much as he wants. He really needs a director with a good eye
In Ep 4 the group of thugs that monitors and helps Korean-Chinese ran into the groups of thugs that were involved in Chairman/HS death and now with PurpleHead and Fiance... There are many thug characters, but the main ones are The TWO Korean-Chinese thugs that protect their ppl and keep violators "reflecting", PurpleHead (somehow related to Fiance) and her bae BoldHead, Fiance'sFriendKeepingWatchOverFL (going to kidnap FL with BoldHead), and the OldManInJail and ColorfulShirt (who was Chairman's chaufeur) - somehow related to FL bc OldManInJail went to jail to cover up for death of FL's ... parents or HS? I have to review that. Now a new thug is introduced, he will buy FL from BoldHead.
I like this drama a lot. The trap is amazing, and her figuring it out is amazing too. The story keeps unravelling…

time to buy a ticket to Hawaii for during the surf season. North Shore Oahu is your destination, esp during World…
Southern California has surfing, e.g. Swami beach in Encinitas, near San Diego, but they wear wet suits bc the Ocean is cold.
But ... seems like you are athletic and you need to be physically active yourself. There are many fun fun fun ways to be in shape. Dance is a great form of exercise. Surfing where you can. Swimming. Paddling. Etc etc etc Have fun :) Bye now.
I dono wt u have with poj that u mention it everywr. They all did well in their roles. Especially fl.
PoJ ML is ugly to me bc he has that weird generic unhealthy AI face and peronality of cardboard and one facial expression all the time. John Wayne type of guy. Toooootaaaalllyyyyy BOOOORING. YOu know who else? ML in Sold Out on You. He does have a handsome face but his Clint Eastwood facial expression from Good Bad and Ugly facial expression all the time makes him unsufferable and unwatchable. Plus the FL turned totally silly petty and dumb... I dropped that drama real fast.
Imo: Recipe for Love ML is super charming and cute and very very handsome. He is so well dressed too, it looks perfect. And such a nice guy :) Except that he was stepmommy's boy, he practically had no other faults. And I think ML and FL are a great pair, they always talk it through and come to an agreement and move on forward. They are a good team.
Yumi Cells season 1 dude was a hot stud, season 2 was handsome but slimy and gloomy, and season 3 ML is a darling, he is so gentle and honest, and very cute, that deer he sent really represents him. He is very handsome and a nice guy. I would really like to see more about his cells. Some cells are a surprise, like that editor's cells who look like superheroes.... wow I never expected that, but makes sense, that is a chief editor...
One actor who was ugly to me was ML in Our Happy Days. He is one of those modern super skinny pale actors... and so he looked so tired and had only poker faces... But recently, he 'woke up" and has a lot more friendly scenes with FL, and he is so good at it, so charming and so nice, extremely endearing, cute and handsome.
A man is not beautiful just bc he did platic surgery and got a pretty face. A man is beautiful when his soul shines in his smile and his eyes, and also, his words and behavior. Also, when he takes care to be in good shape. And yeah, when he is a nice honest genuine person.
So remember that and you will see ZILLIONS of very beautiful men all around you :)
The same holds for women - the one all dolled out and ah so pretty may be so bland, dumb and/or mean that it just makes her totally ugly. OR her looks can be untouchable, like in drama 200lbs Beauty... But again, if you start looking around for REAL you will see many women who actually shine under the radar.
I am going outside now to hike for a few hours :) Ahui ho!
junho doesnt care about his father affair ... he doesnt care about his mother revenge on his bio-mom/father ...…
BH hasnt learned YET about everything that JM did to backstab him :) So let's see how he reacts when he hears JM proposed to JH ---and--- did not make it a business marriage on paper but a real marriage - JM promised to try to love JH and asked him to marry for real... then tortured JH, BH's beloved brother...
and did you notice, some of our male friends here also defend JM :)
**** it is kinda common to EXPECT that a woman is that dumb and incompetent. *****
And yeah FL is redemeable PRECISELY because of that sexism. **** it is assumed that FL is just another stupid woman who needs a man to take her under his wing or else she cannot function on her own, she is sooooooo incompetent :) *****
Unortunately, that is true for JM.. JM is truly so dumb that she cannot barely fart without BH's help.
So you think BH is the man I love LMAO Hm what kind of passive aggressive attack is that....? I can see why you want blood thirsty revenges :) That was a very mean comment, like a barbed wire thrown at me. If that kind of stuff repeats I will definitely get the idea that you are trying to insult me. If you have negative feelings towards me, you should just not ever write to me.
I think BH is not the smartest guy but a very great, loyal, honest guy and that actor is doing a great job of conveying that character. SO WHY DON'T YOU LIKE BH? WHAT IS THERE TO DISLIKE ABOUT BH? You even wrote that BH irritates you, before you were bothered that he was helping JM, now I am not sure why he bothers you.
I wonder why would a good guy irritate you. He is not the smartest, sure, but he is a good guy. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS WRONG WITH BH, WHY DO YOU DISLIKE BH?
BH is someone whom JM supposedly loves - but not really... JM does not love BH yet. She takes him for granted as her punching bag and personal body guard.
I guess JM need to feel what it is like not to have BH's attention... and SUFFER ... just like JH needed SR to disappear to start missing her...
I vote that BH and SR teach some good lessons to JM and Junk Ho :)
I dono wt u have with poj that u mention it everywr. They all did well in their roles. Especially fl.
Hm you are slandering me. The fact is, I watched ep 1 of PoJ, I saw many clips and photographs, and I found them all cringe - and you will not change my opinion :) i really dislike that totally fake POMPOUS "ah so gloomy and serious" no-acting style :) I totally think ML actor in PoJ is just a decorative ornament and I dislike actors like that, and furthermore, I find him ugly to watch bc he is so artificially unreal. I think PoJ is ... a trashy soapy soap that kills brain cells. I agree with the Chinese military/gvmt view on PoJ and similar idol and idol-like dramas :) I find them devoid of creativity, uniqueness, expression, messages and deeper meaning.
I think ppl watch PoJ and such just to see some "pretty" and that's it.
I understand why ppl would watch it just to watch some "good looking" guy. If that is the case, pack up to Hawaii, North Shore, O'ahu, during surf season, and feast your eyes on the most gorgeous guys in the world. Hula dancers are also awesomely handsome but many are gay. Paddlers also look amazing. Ah male Tahtian dancer are awesomely good looking. And they all SMILE and have personalities that are fun A lot better than a cardboard flat gloomy porcelain doll actor. :)
If I am gonna enjoy looking at a male actor, I rather see someone who is REAL, has a personality, expresses, acts, is energetic, moves around, someone healthy radiant, vibrant, ENERGETIC - so many nice guys to look at rather than PoJ and similar deadbeat skinny tired lifeless "men"who look like anorexic girls - who look like frail pocerlain dolls, so skinny and good only to sit on the couch all day and pose for photoshoots and always have that gloomy self-important look tha is just STUPID. And the white glazed faces - usually triangular like aliens - are the SAME on all those actors, you almost cannot tell who is who. Yuck.
Both you are me are free to think whatever we want :) I think PoJ is trash, you like it, so that's it. So this discussion is not going anywhere, we better stop here. Have a nice day!
In any case, I really like Filing for Love, it has such great acting, ML is a phenomenal actor, he expresses such a wide range so well, AND on top of it, he is handsome, and FL bonces off his acting so well. plus all the other hilarious side actors, it is so fun, such a dynamic fun drama! Enjoy watching!
For amazingly great and expressive male actors who are also drop dead gorgeous, UNIQUE, CREATIVE, and REAL in their looks and acting, from the top of my head I can think of - Shopping King Louis ML, Heros Next Door ML and SML, Scarecrow ML, The Nice Guy SML villain, etc. Hm even Reverse ML.
But a male actor who is forever etched in my mind is My Mister ML. THAT is ... a wow wow wow wow acting. In his role, he is not even super handsome, he is kinda run down and depressed and unkept and all dreary - but wow is he memorable and catchy!!!! His PRESENCE, heart and his mind just shine and he dominates the drama YET he also makes the FL and SML totally shine and be memorable too. It is such a skill to be a lead actor like that!!!!. In fact, those are some of the most memorable FL and SML roles I have even seen. And FL was also dreary unkept... SML with that ugly round haircut with bangs... but so memorable!!!!
So you dont even have to have a super handsome/pretty ML or FL to have a 100000% mesmerizing show. Just need PRESENCE and GREAT ACTING. but try to explain that to idol fans :) Cannot :)
not HR, but usually its a corporate compliance department
are you saying that a department for monitoring dating at work is actually a real life thing??? I am sorry I dont work in the corporate world so I want to know more about this. Thanks.
I dono wt u have with poj that u mention it everywr. They all did well in their roles. Especially fl.
I cannot stand dramas with porcelain dolls. And I can see why there are there, so that AI can replace live actors. Also, idol worshipping and milking the audience as cash cows. There is so much in that - including youth that copies them.
I think PoJ is cringe soapy soap. I think the acting is fake, the dialogue is silly, and the male actor is like a photograph, like a porcelain doll. AI can replace that ML. i think PoJ is one of those brainwashing delulu manipulation things that hypnotizes ppl into brain atrophy.
And that's just my opinion.... There is a lot more to be said about it. But I will not bore you to details, you like it and so be it, that's your opinion. Have a nice day.
Can This Love Be Translated was trash hot pile of script
:) If I am doing a research on any actor/writer and want to see Good Bad and Ugly of their work, then I will sit through some of their trash... but not too much ;) Usually I go by merit, not by favoritism :) If it is trash, it is trash, regardless if Some Hot Sh.T made it and I ain't wasting my time to watch that. If it is great, it is great, regardless if a baby made it, I am all in. I LOVE discovering new talents.
I enjoyed acting of that Japanese guy in that drama, I thought he was hilarious, he was mimicking a fickle Japanese male so well. But the drama went to trash after like ep 4 and so I dropped asap :)
Scarecrow is amazing. Reverse is great. Cabbage your life is so fun. Recipe for Love is also good. If Wishes Could…
whatever suits your fancy :) but objectively, the rest of currently airing kdramas are not fucking jokes, period :)
I think Perfect Crown is trash :) Both of us think that Filing for Love is fun :) What is the pattern in dramas you like? Seems like you like "very unusual over the top" dramas? Absolute Value of Love or If a Wish could Kill might be your thing... ? In the past - Did you watch The Art of Sarah? hm there is no ML there. Undercover MsHong might be to your liking, if you haven't seen it?
If you figure what exactly you like to watch - or not :) maybe you want to be outdoors gardening or dancing? - then maybe I can help you find it :)

I am postinig a new post so that others can see it. THANK you for duscussing this, this was so helpful!!! Thank you for this conversation.
I do NOT support BH and JM regardless of what they do.... . So far BH was a reasonable and examplary in many ways, minus crawling to JM.... then JM turned into a villain... and if BH blindly supports that, and the drama mutates from "BH Knight-in-Shining-Armor to mentally dumb, stupidly arrogant, honest and kindJM" to be "BH LapDog to criminal JM" - then I am out!
This drama seems like a parody on real life?
I think the issue with that ML actor is that he is not as great actor as the Uncle actor :) and forces himself to act and often looks unnatural. His overly big artificial smile and smirking is cringe :) Perhaps that's why you cannot "See" him. He is not a real actor yet :) But he is good looking for sure.
The Uncle actor is a MASTERFUL actor but is not "young and pretty like an idol" so they dont cast him as ML.... His is beautul in his own way, he i so super buff and reallly looks and carries himself like a MAN, he is a handsome man from real life, not from fashion runway or an idol group.
The uncle actor is a master actor, and a master comedian too... So yes the uncle is amazing!!!! Totally 100% mesmerizing to watch - bc you never know what he will do :) We saw a great range from him. He is what you call an iconic REAL actor. Someone whom you cannot miss and whom you will remember after the drama is over.
The dramas market the more androgenous young men who look and behave like ... children lmao The idol and fashion model types. But 99.9% of them are so boring... they cannot act, and hold one facial expression the entire time. Yuck.
So that;s why Recipe for Love has that ML - to cater to the audience that cares ONLY for a pretty and young face and could care less for acting... and then Uncle actor is needed to make the drama amazing with his acting and yeah his good looks too.
And cdramas are greatly responsible for this demand for "young and pretty face and ZERO acting skills" zombie epidemics. I really wish to end it. I want to see ACTING, not a fashion show.
So I am rambling here now this is too long I appologize I dont have time to make it shorter
I think the word is EXPRESSIVE. This actor is fantastic when he can EXPRESS and INTERACT in ways that are meaningful and friendly, with underlying warmth.
Bc I am not sure if he can express and interact in a, say, gangster movie, where ppl interact to do something bad... I wonder if he can do say a tight-knit gagster group that e.g. steals ... ? Probably not...
Like actor who was a great loving dad in Twinkling Watermellon and also the most monstrous killer in Hello Monster and TO My Beloved Thief - his usual acting face with that kinda "spaced out smile" can be used for roles of killers or loving dads...
Then here are chameleons like FL actress from Nice to Meet You - she is totally completely different in every role she does... from villain to nerd to .... Hm but the common thread is prickly...
So right now we are sure this ML is great any time it is a role that EXPRESSES WARMTH. Is warmth required or just expressing? Just trying to cast him more :) but if he is Mr. Warmth then he can have a whole career of just that :) he could be great as lover/family member/friend from .. a pair of loser thieves suffering, or as a rich and careless member? I can totally see him in a rom com where two loser people are trying to make it in the world. Kinda Fight My Way feel
SO I WILL WATCH to find out - is he just not good for John Wayne silent type roles, or he needs to have warmth...
He is for sure GREAT for rom coms, family dramas, any roles of human interaction that is based on certain honesty and friendliness.
Yes, this actor is just FANTASTIC for friendly, for comedy, for certain lightness and warmth of normal people in daily life, and he cannot even pretend cold, snotty, show off, arrogant John Wayne type :) It is clear he forces himself to be like that and doesnt like it :)
And his amazing contribution as an actor is that his being that way ENABLES OTHER ACTORS TO SHINE. E.g. FL has woken up too since he started interacting, bc he is so not threatening, it is so easy to act naturally next to him and to totally relax and play with the role. Scenes of FL telling him she is a good girl, etc are all hilarious.... .
So.... When he is allowed to act as he naturally would and INTERACT, everyone else has a chance to act more.
He actually is a FANTASTIC RESOURCE. Whoever can use this amazing gift is gonna make some amazing dramas and movies. This is a real actor.
The tsundere roles are meant for "pretty ppl who cannot act" i.e. fashion models, idols, etc who cannot really act but only hold ONE facial expression for photographs - that expression of "gloomy serious" that is supposed to be seductive in advertisements; or, fear/anxiety for women.
REAL ACTORS DO NOT NEED THOSE ONE-DIMENSIONAL ROLES :)
he reminds me of the My Adjushi ML, who was also an actor who made everyone acting next to him schine. Both he and FL were so unkept, dreary, yet THEY are the actors I remember the most from hundreds of dramas I have seen.
I think the gift of My Adjushi and also of this ML actor is that they are so ... ego-free in their role and so natural in it, that the actors next to them can totally relax and really give it their best, really get into the role without any back thoughts, really get in and PLAY with it - because the actor next to them is also so natural and "playing" with it.

These dresses with a round or V cut around the neck would be universal https://www.lemon8-app.com/@yuehwasg/7436323439532687873?region=sg
I would also buy this awesome kimono fabric and make regular "bathrobe" out of it, with an easy-to-tie belt. This kimono belt is a killer, once you are in it, you are stuck... So it is great as a belt for street clothing and is used in modern fashion See Armani fashion show. https://shop.japanobjects.com/blogs/editorial/japaneseclothing
I think PoJ is cringe soapy soap. I think the acting is fake, the dialogue is silly, and the male actor is like a photograph, like a porcelain doll. AI can replace that ML. i think PoJ is one of those brainwashing delulu manipulation things that hypnotizes ppl into brain atrophy.
And that's just my opinion.... There is a lot more to be said about it. But I will not bore you to details, you like it and so be it, that's your opinion. Have a nice day.
Usually I go by merit, not by favoritism :) If it is trash, it is trash, regardless if Some Hot Sh.T made it and I ain't wasting my time to watch that. If it is great, it is great, regardless if a baby made it, I am all in. I LOVE discovering new talents.
I enjoyed acting of that Japanese guy in that drama, I thought he was hilarious, he was mimicking a fickle Japanese male so well.
But the drama went to trash after like ep 4 and so I dropped asap :)
but objectively, the rest of currently airing kdramas are not fucking jokes, period :)
I think Perfect Crown is trash :)
Both of us think that Filing for Love is fun :)
What is the pattern in dramas you like? Seems like you like "very unusual over the top" dramas? Absolute Value of Love or If a Wish could Kill might be your thing... ?
In the past - Did you watch The Art of Sarah? hm there is no ML there. Undercover MsHong might be to your liking, if you haven't seen it?
If you figure what exactly you like to watch - or not :) maybe you want to be outdoors gardening or dancing? - then maybe I can help you find it :)
