I saw him in roomates and in another variety show.He was just a normal boy.I liked his natural face better in…
He is exploiting the success of the first season of this series with a fast track low quality sequel. And in order to be more accurate he is still exploiting the success of Goblin where he played the weird, goth guy. From Goblin and onward he is playing all about the same role and type of character in different series and set ups and he literally butchered his face to match with this look.
I agree about LJS. He is a case study of botox side effects! lol But I liked the movie and its plot.
The thing is that they literally butcher with all these plastic surgeries and procedures their faces ending up looking plastic and non real. This might work for models ( less editing on the photos) but not for actors. There is a reason why movies are called this way you know... lol
I thought that he was married with a Korean actress and that someone else was married with the European one!But…
It is difficult if not impossible to understand sarcasm in written comments. :)
Edit to add. The most funny thing in these kind of announcements about newborn children is that they don't even show them. We have a child... and then what we get is the hand or the foot of the child... lol ... as a proof that there is indeed a child that it doesn't interest anyone to start with.
I thought that he was married with a Korean actress and that someone else was married with the European one!But…
Why is really really important news for me and you that an actor got married and had a child? Do you know him personally or is this going to affect his job? Or am I going to raise his children and I should perhaps care! lol
The only relatively important news for me at least, is the announcement of a new role, collaboration etc. Whatever has to do with his work as an actor, if I am fan of this actor. The rest just don't interest me.
I thought that he was married with a Korean actress and that someone else was married with the European one! But it is not strange to confuse who is who because they announce marriages and newborn children every second day! lol And TBH I don't really understand why they bother to do so. Who cares if they have children other than their close relatives. Well done, congratulations but why I should actually care?
Thank you for your review. I'm dropping this drama at the sixth episode because the gore scenes looked rather fake to me ( I have seen better ) and the plot and the acting is exactly as you described it.
Your review is completely inaccurate. The props look fake and the plot is rather boring as it reveals the culprit very early on. I'm a step before dropping this drama out of pure boredom.
Actually, as a native speaker too - assuming you are one - I'd like to add my two cents.Kairos in ancient greek,…
Γράφω στα Ελληνικά γιατί δεν νομίζω ότι θα ασχοληθεί κανείς με την χρήση της λέξης Καιρός στα Ελληνικά.
Η λέξη Καιρός έχει μία πιο διευρυμένη χρονική διάσταση. Δεν σημαίνει μία απόλυτη χρονική στιγμή. Ο "καιροσκόπος" περιμένει την κατάλληλη εποχή για να κάνει μία κίνηση, όχι μία χρονική στιγμή π.χ ενός λεπτού. Για αυτό ανέφερα και στην κριτική μου ότι πιο κατάλληλος θα ήταν ο τίτλος Στιγμή και όχι καιρός.
Αλλά εν πάση περιπτώσει και άσχετα από τον τίτλο, τα έκαναν μαντάρα! χα χα
Και κάθε φορά που φτιάχνουν τέτοιες σειρές με ταξίδια στον χρόνο κτλ τα κάνουν μαντάρα και καταλήγουν να έχουν ασυνάρτητα σενάρια και ανεξήγητες καταστάσεις. Έχω γράψει κριτική για κάμποσες από αυτές τις σειρές. Το Grid το παράτησα λίγο πριν το τέλος. Το Signal είχε ένα άσχετο φινάλε, ούτε και κατάλαβα τι ήθελε να δείξει ο σεναριογράφος στο τέλος. Στο Sisyphus: The Myth ήταν λες και είχαν πάθει άνοια!
22 pounds are slightly less than 10 kilos that are not that much for adult men let alone when they gain such kind of weight in muscle mass. So it is good for him. Most of the younger Asian actors look after all extremely skinny and in some cases malnourished.
I mean he had cancer in the throat area… making him smoke would have been utterly ridiculous.But it’s cool…
It is not the nicotine that harms but the smoke it self. But there are fake cigarettes out there that look like real, have a light at the edge and produce just steam. They could use one of them instead of getting into the trouble to add non existed cigarettes on each and every of the scenes that he is supposedly smoking. Alternatively they could make the character not smoking at all something that would set a good example for the viewers.

What does "haters" mean? You have to know someone in order to hate him. In this case we don't know this guy, who can be the most likable guy in the world in his private life, but we are just criticizing his work. Or better say the product of his work that it is his presence and his acting, because that is what actors "sell". Their presence and their acting. They don't "sell" their real character, or their privater lives ( and it is wrong when they do so IMHO). In this particular case this guy has messed up both his appearance and his acting and by the time that he chose a profession that exposes these two things, all kind of criticism is rightful and valid. As for me, I don't hate him. In fact I used to like him. I watched only the first half of the first episode of the TONT 1938 but the quality is so low that I didn't even consider to spend more time watching it till the end. We have an expression for this kind of sequels in my country, we are calling them "grubbing" which means taking, milking and exploiting whatever you can from the success of the first movie or film. That is the case with this third sequel.
I saw him in roomates and in another variety show.He was just a normal boy.I liked his natural face better in…
I totally agree with you. I can't figure out what is going on with this guy but his emaciated over done look is not something that I like. I don't watch his dramas anymore because with all this botox that he has injected in his face he is unable to act as well. Nothing moves in his face. Keep in mind that it is crucial for film actors to be able to move all the muscles of their faces because the camera zoom on their faces and can catch the micro expressions that enhance the actors performances on camera. It is the opposite of the theater where the actors can play wearing a mask because the audience can't see their facial features.
I've read the book first (since I try to always read the original material before watching an adaptation), so…
Thank you for not spoiling the second book because I haven't read it yet, but the first book and particularly the series fail to explain how Evan's manage to contact in the first place the Trisolarians ( what technology and what information he had in order to know where to send his messages ) and of course how he manage to do so that fast. In the book it says that he contact them, but it also says that Ye Wenjie doubted that he did so, because each and every message needs 4 years to get to its recipient.
Aside that the whole subplot with the sophons is stupid because there is no realistic explanation about how and why the Trisolarians figured out that Earth is that right place for them, and why they didn't kept the proton unfolding technology that could cover their whole planet in order to protect their planet from the Three Bodies ( suns) effects.
That is the reason why I've said on my review that the Trisolarians had a technology that it could have solved some of their problems but they chose for some unknown reasons to not use it for their own benefit but invest on this technology in order to send two sophons at Earth. And all that while they didn't even have yet the technology to travel faster towards Earth and the next disaster of their planet was imminent, and the Earthers can destroy themselves during the 450 years that the Trisolarians were going to need to reach Earth.
Generally speaking the whole plot though it is full of very good ideas is a mess. Is over complicated and lacks of persuasive explanations on the most important plot topics.
And all the above are not even made clear in the series.
I've read the book first (since I try to always read the original material before watching an adaptation), so…
The series is based on the book and follows the plot of the book closely but the book is a complete and utter mess. Though the author of the book had a load of good ideas, he was obviously unable to manage his material, and he mashed and messed up everything. I 'm saying that as someone who has read a lot of sci fi literature, including The Foundation book series, The Dune book series ( all of them) The Expanse book series, the majority of Arthur Clarke's books, Stanislav Lem's books, Isaac Asimov, Aldus Haxley, Philip Dick, Douglas Adams and so on. The plot of the Three Body Problem is self cancelling, because there is no sci fi plot at the very end as all and everything end up being an assumption of its fictional characters. It is supposed that some hostile Aliens are going to come in a 14 human generations ahead time frame, but the book and the series fail to explain how the characters came up to this conclusion by the time that they have exchanged all and all four messages that all of them were supposedly exchanged between the aliens and the obviously psychologically disturbed character of Ye Wen Jie.
After finised watching, I still confuse what's going on. The first two eps got me in, but the rests were really…
Nothing is going on. Whatever you see is just what the Earthers and particularly the members of the ETO organization ( that you can call it a conspiracy theorists' organization turned into a cult) are assuming about the Trisolarians' whereabouts. As I wrote on my review there is no sci fi plot at all, as all and everything that takes place on Earth can be explained with very logical terms while the supposed hostile Aliens are nowhere to be found and in any case even if they exist their ill intentions are going to trouble the Earthers 13-14 generations ahead in the future!! If we haven't manage to exterminate ourselves in between time of course. lol
I saw him in roomates and in another variety show.He was just a normal boy.I liked his natural face better in…
His acting was just fine. I don't know either what forced him to alter his looks particularly by the time that he was either way very popular. It is not that he didn't have already an established career in acting and in modelling in order to change his physique. Not to mention that even if that was the case and he didn't consider his appearance as marketable, he started way to early to alter his looks. Men are in their prime during their 40s because they still look great at this age and they have that touch of maturity that makes them very handsome.
And in order to be more accurate he is still exploiting the success of Goblin where he played the weird, goth guy. From Goblin and onward he is playing all about the same role and type of character in different series and set ups and he literally butchered his face to match with this look.
