Kyubin

I guess he was clever, or his entourage, from the start for choosing good projects (meaning the ones who will be popular at a certain time and thus makes more money), that's why he quickly became one of the highest paid Korean actors.
People nowadays can't really make the difference between quality and popularity, especially when it comes to actors and singers/artists, but if you ask them in ten or twenty years, or more, about an average actor/singer that was very popular at the moment, they will barely remember the person or what he did. That's the difference. If you are still popular generation after generation, it's far from different than a shooting star kind of popularity.
I'm sure Chang Wook will be an actor that will remain very popular until the end and even after if he keeps acting all his life, even if his movies/dramas aren't the most populars.

I'm rubbing salt on a wound fore sure. ^^ The well deserved Best Director award for Han Dong Wook at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards and his special thanks to Chang Wook for his help through the production of the drama during his acceptance speech is validating that he was really robbed from a nomination, at least, in the Best Actor category this year.
Hopefully his next roles will make him have more recognition through a nomination or an award next year. Not that he needs it, but I think it's a recognition from his peers that he plenty deserves.

Yes finally ! That's funny how this TV series became Ba Tai's story because of Yu Shi's fans, when he is only a "small" character in the original story. ^^

That's a good news !

Oh I missed the raws then, thank you !

Well, of course everybody is different so others might have different opinions or experiences. The first time is not indifferent though, with a man or woman, but depending on the person, and if both have their first time together at the same time in particular, being active can be as mentally tough as being passive, but physically it's quite "easy" for the active one I think, that's why it can be less "special" in a way.

That was confusing, why use another actor when he woke up in the body of the other Joe but after it's the original actor again ? That was unnecessary in my opinion. And overall I'm not hooked by this story and the acting. I watched because Poom's handsomeness caught me but I'll probably pass.

For a man to be passive for the first time with another man, it takes a lot of preparation, both mentally and physically (unless you're totally drunk or high and don't even remember what happened, though the pain will make you remember...), so I don't see this happening casually with an unknown hook-up. At least I don't know a single man around me for whom it happened. That's really different than a man loosing is virginity with a woman, or active with another man, which is less "special" for most men than it is for women I guess.

This looks quite funny, liked the trailer.

There is only a file with subtitles on DO, no ? So it needs to be synced with a raw video ?

I like it very much when a drama gets better episode after episode. And how refreshing to have two characters that are honest both to themselves and between them. Ryota is still confused and Kazuhito will probably have a hard time, but that's much more interesting than the usual stupid misunderstandings and self-pity. Hopefully it will stay as good as episode 3 until the end.

Kim Kyung Nam is finally back in a drama after 3 years !I'm looking forward to watching it, especially with this cast, and the plot seems interesting.

Utterly stupid. It was okay at first and I was watching for the cute romance between Seiji and Japan, but what they did in the end with Ken totally ruined it. Thai productions are really so stupid and low quality sometimes. I keep thinking I should stay away from it, but I can't resist an handsome face like
Seagames.

Yes that's true. Hopefully they will do a movie version of this one too and it will look better.

Once again they ruin everything by trying to be "all inclusive"... That 3-way thing between Seiji, Japan and Ken was really not necessary and just ruined the cute romance between Seiji and Japan for me. They should really understand that simple is the best, by trying to show too much they don't succeed in anything.

I understand and agree with you in a way, but I don't think it's very accurate to think that way too, because a story won't be told the same way in a movie, which is supposed to be a unique time frame, and a series, that implies breaks between episodes. The rhythm and story development can't be the same. Overall, yes, this time seems enough to tell this story, but if it was in a movie format. It needs much more time to tell the same story in a TV series format, and I think that's the problem here, we have a movie type story that doesn't really fit with this TV series format. That's the way I feel it at least. ;)

^^ Yes I agree.

I have really mixed feelings about "Gray Shelter", from the start. Since episode 1 I'm hooked by Jang Woo Young's performance, he is such a great actor, but in the same time something feels off with this story development. It can be nice to have the reasons for the current characters states to be revealed slowly over time, but that doesn't really work for a 20-ish minutes 5 episodes series format. Here it makes the 4 episodes confusing, even though the back story is good, the characters too and the acting very good. This deserved much more episodes to fully develop the story and the characters, too bad they couldn't do it. Still looking forward the last episode.

At this point it's not a wait anymore for me, I have totally give up on the sequel. ^^

Watching it, but for Kim Ji Won actually, and that hasn't change my opinion on him. :)
He is a versatile actor yes, I have watched several dramas and movies where he acted, so my opinion is based on concrete thoughts. I never wrote he was a bad actor actually, but that he isn't a great one for me, just average.
