On Love between Lines Jan 26, 2026
This ML is VERY attractive, and I'm usually NOT Drawn to chinese actors (I tend to find korean and japanese men much more attractive).

And now he's doing this cdrama as well as that 90s cdrama.
I'm excited to watch him in both, and I've only seen the trailers..he is THAT charismatic! 😍😍

The ML is not new... He was the ML in Tunnel, he was in The heirs, He was also in Gu family book (Kang chi father),…
Ok thanks for your Detailed reply. 👏
Too many biased haters that just mad about webtoon changes to know which is True cristisim vs which is just bias.
You seem the actual critical watcher type and not just among biased ones.


I too am not convinved by his acting at Starter eps to be honest, but I think it has to do with the Cold Ceo on the start, since in other roles his range more visible and right away.

I don't really agree with your full list, though some i agree like Idol I male lead and JiSung are always fantastic actors.

And like you said GOOD SCRIPT plays a role too.
Some actors are simply held back by script or directing, some actors get applauded for landing a fancy good script that's easy to get praised for. 😅
There have been many actors who i flat out HATED in one role, but then I realized they CAN act, once i saw them in different role lol.

So far, the male lead of PY has been written too cold for my liking. But then i haven't had the chance to catch up beyond ep2 yet (i'm currently busy travelling, only time to make quick comments, no time to watch whole eps).
Given how these Cold Ceo roles TEND to go.... The actor only gets a chance to shine since mid part onwards usually, once Cold Ceo looses hid cold guard.

We shall see if you dislike his acting then.

People new to the lead actors, here are other good projects to watch them in, Starting from best listed first:

OH YEON SEO:
- Mad For Each Other (psychological healing romance, disguised a Romcom on the surface, but is far more. Critically Acclaimed script.)
- Please Come Back Mister (funny has hell! A dramedy with death and rebirth theme)
- Come Jang Bo Ri (legendary 40% rating scoring old drama! Despite her character limited in being VERY naive, OYS still shines and makes character likeable.
Same writer as Penthouse 1-3 !)
- My Sassy Girl (Fusion Historical Romcom. Watch if you like sassy, troublemaker, Wild ENFPs essentric female lead characters.)
(- A Korean Odyssey: extremely divisive. People love or hate it too much to give recommendation, depends on the person if they'll like this.)

CHOI JIN HYUK:
- Devilish Joy (his charm really shines here! Psychological healing Romance, with beautiful travel athmospheres)
- The Last Empress (makjang though! Not for everybody, very melodramatic lol. Also very bad ending. Still recommended. Great acting by him and all of cast.
Same writer as Penthouse 1-3 !)
- Zombie Detective (he & his character carries drama! lame FL)
- Emergency Couple (Very entertaining fun romcom in hospital setting. Not his or anyon's best acting but a very fun solid watch. Young and handsome CJH!)
- Miss Night And Day (Good as a kdrama, but I don't think he really shines here, his other characters in the other dramas i mention are more interesting!)
- Tunnel (acting and charm! Nice time travel detective drama)

I'm curious what actors you then prefer and consider to "act well"?

Sometimes it's people confusing with "i don't like this actor" (don't find them likable) with "bad acting". One is more subjective view than the other.

Please list actors who you consider skilled.

It's the Cold CEO type.

His full acting visible more soon into dramas like The Last Empress and Devilish Joy,

this drama it's the character holding him back.

I recall Jang Ki Yong also having many acting doubters before Dynamite Kiss, where his character was the warm CEO type (warm expressive since ep1-2 already), unlike most of his stoic cold roles before....

Attacking actors with "they are ugly and old" is not an opinion, it's a personal attack.

Hate is not the same an a negative opinion of a drama. And when you insult the actors with "just my opinion", it's Obvious your "opinion" is not in fact in the opinion category.

But some narcissists on this page cannot handle truth-telling and distinguishing between informed opinion (wethther negative or positive) and Biased Running of the mouth.

Spreading false information is not the same as having an opinion

Also having an opinion when watched 0 eps and claiming to have watched is just asking to be caught and have it pointed out lol

Is that how it is in the show? In the webtoon, he's experienced and she's a virgin. lmao what have they done to…
That user is lying about having watched even 1 ep, or they'd know that FL being virgin and no exes was canon in Kdrama too.

This is why you need to watch for yourself, literary a bunch of haters attacking drama and making up things without even watching it 😅🤦‍♀️

I mean they marketed it as the adaptation of the webtoon so 🤷‍♂️
I see also lot of Romance kdrama fans watching and commenting on socials who didn't read webtoon, it also gets a boost from those who simply miss the 2016 era.

This. People should watch for themselves and decide if they like it or not.

It's overperforming expectations on Viki already, that should say something too....

They have great chemistry from the first scene together. The actress plays the character with a lot of enthusiasm…
Ok thanks so much for explanation!

Maybe i'll actually wtach it later. I do like body swap trope.

How do you determine the pairing doesn't work without watching? Till now they are great.
I mean she looks like his little brother no?

Or maybe acting compensates in the kdrama and they actually work well together??

Add Nam Ji Hyun to the list as well! This is was in the to my beloved thief wall: "FL is terrible lead. she…
Sigh. Her too then.

Also she was literally a Child actress for years then became adult lead, having gained lots of experience and skill already. She has more experience than most her age, yet somehow that delulu doesnt think she deserves lead roles?!?? WTF!!

It's clearly a bunch Low IQ women running their mouths lol
