There was this other drama where that happened. The one with a workaholic cold FL and the kind ML had a previous fiancée who was in a wheelchair and died in a fire... And the bad guy wears a freaky rabbit mask... You know which one I mean...

I don't think we should feel bad for him. Because this role gives him the opportunity to show his dramatic side much more than Twinkling Watermelon and show a different side compared to his usual romantic roles. Therefore, for him as an actor and the way he's viewed it's a certain gain. After this he has proved that he can tackle a greater variety of roles and genres so he will get more diversified offers.

"No suicide or else...." ... or else what? If a person is dead, they don't care about any punishment or repercussion on their career.

Okay, this is no guarantee... Some of those girl group/boy group singers are good and could stand on their own, some are not.

Because they are better as real-life singers but they only made them into mediocre singers for the needs of the drama? Oh, ok, I didn't know that.

This is another discussion. I was just replying to the "own interest" judgement.

They were both so boring, with flimsy voices and no expression, no feeling at all.

He's hilarious, though. And quite warm-hearted and sensitive, too. He got emotional hearing Jin Wu sing.

Good? They messed up her lips real bad.

Child trafficking? LOL. It's the same thing with athletes, young and adult ones. Soccer players get sold every day.

Let's remember that "her own interest" is her disabled child.

Yes, that's why I tend to think that it depends on a good director. Because Romantic Guesthouse was bad all around, and Watermelon was a wonderful series all around, drawing the best out of every actor.

His acting was embarassingly bad in Romantic Guesthouse. But here he's good. I don't know whether it's the role, or he matured, or he has a better director. Be as it may, great improvement, kudos to him.

That's why I said it seems unlikely.

But the deaf boy was reckless. Why choose to confront the four bullies on a solitary dark road? He could say those things in class.

It's unlikely for me too.

Obviously talking of the two mean leads. Kang Su Hyeon, the female producer, with Wu Jin U, the wannabe idol she is managing.

Yes, yes, if the actor is a star, s/he can have preferences. But I was addressing the "Oh, after 40, no more romance" way of thinking.

You know... nevertheless, I'm enjoying it. I would have welcomed more subtle acting, but it's not bad.

But why would he? Namgung Min is no spring chicken either, but he did "My Dearest" which of course was not only romance, but had a strong romance in it. Life doesn't end at 40, neither does love.
