Korean Actors/Actresses discussion thread
Korean Actors/Actresses discussion thread
OK, time to move to another place.
What about this one?
The title is temporary, ladies^^
In any case, I will change, just give me the better name.
Here, I hope we will continue our rantings and discussion here, cause right now, Jang Keunsuk doesn't deserve to have more pages. If he ever did.
And the policy is: no policy at all!
Posting some pictures, not limited by the name of the thread, talking some off-topic things, like we normally do.
You know, Coffee Prince on D-A^^

Well, if it's Keun Suk specific, I'll stick to the other thread, but we often talk about issues concerning other things about korean actors/industry/style etc so we can post such things here.
And just to make things clear, this isn't a fangirl thread for pretty boys and hot girls only. We talk about all kinds of actors here so if you like someone old and ugly (lol) don't feel like you can't post in this thread.
So I can start with Kim Myung Min. Although he's not old or ugly, but he's not a 20 year old heartthrob either.
Absolutely adore this actor. I think he has a very powerful presence and can honestly pull off any role. I've only seen him in 2-3 things, but he was amazing in all of them. His performance in Beethoven Virus just had me in awe of how epic this guy is.
He's just one of those high caliber actors that immediately gains your respect and attention. I've enjoyed every performance of his so far and I'm sure I'll enjoy them in the future as well.
He's got two pretty strong movies coming up so I can't wait for them. And he's working solo now so he can decide on anything he wants to do which I think is awesome. I trust his judgement and I know he's gonna give us great stuff.

Oh, no, not a fangirl thread. Just some serious stuff, please.
There are lot of interviews lately with Kim Myung Min concerning his performance in Man of Vendetta (2010) (see, I told you, I'm more into movies). Movie seems to be intense and I'm actually waiting for it to watch. I know him from Closer To Heaven (2009) which was very good, and Open City (2008), as for me, quite good movie. He got an award for the former: The 30th Blue Dragon Film Awards: Best Leading Actor (Closer to Heaven).
He actually had to defend his new movie of being accused as anti-Christian. Please, it's just about the priest who

Anti-Christian? Ahaha! Well, Kim Myung Min happens to be a Christian himself so I don't see how he'd be against the faith itself.
And religion, faith and the church are all open to discussion (or should be) so I don't see how exploring faith or even critisizing some of religion's more darker sides is a bad thing.
People shouldn't be mindless sheep. Especially about their morals and faith. You can't say a movie is anti-Christian just cause you don't agree with it.
That shows a close-minded person which is quite a contradiction considering it takes a veeery open mind to believe in the presence of an invisible force/creator.
It's people of faith that should be the most open-minded and accepting ones and yet they're the biggest stuck-ups and fanatics.
I guess it's church and religion that give faith a bad name, in a sense.
I'm a person of faith myself, but I don't accept or want the church or religion to think for me. I know what I believe and it doesn't matter what religion it falls into or if it's not something I can practice in church.
I'm not bashing here. I'm just saying close-mindedness is bad and so is blaming people/works of being anti-christian just because they don't portray things as you'd want them to.
And I've neen dying to see this movie! I can't waaaait! I just know it's going to be amazing and I know Kim Myung Min will rock in it too. I bet my mom will love to see it as well.
She's a very spiritual person so if there's struggling with faith, she'll find it interesting and guess what? She's open-minded too. It's not impossible.

It's a very tentative problem, the faith.
I'm from a very religious family, but I went into an atheist way myself. I'm not an aggressive, I'm not going like an apostle of non-existent God. Maybe there is some god, God, Gods, I don't know, I haven't met anyone. I am tolerant and friendly toward every nonsense people can imagine (I mean, come on, Scientology??).
But every movie touching the topic of religion is a very dangerous one.
And it's true that the strongest opposition comes from the institutional church. Don't get me wrong, every religion is fine up untill the moment people want to codify it, to close it withing one group, to NAME what should be left unnamed.
And Korea is half-Buddhist half-Christian, surely this topic can touch all.
A priest losing his faith in the face of such tragedy. Especially priest. A common folk can lose his/her faith, but priest is "the chosen one", right?
As you said, people shouldn't be just sheep, but it's comfortable to be one. You don't have to think on your own. Thinking hurts sometimes. Thinking makes revolutions.
That is why Nazis burnt all the books and persecuted the scientists.
That is why in all tyrant hegemonies the scientists, philosophers were persecuted. Because they were thinking on their own, and not as the system (the hegemon) wanted.
Oh, my, not exactly the movie topic...

So you're more of an agnostic. You haven't been convinced, but don't also deny it since we really can't know anyway. I respect that very much. I might sort of be one myself, actually.
Some of my religous views follow, but this is off-topic so read only if you give a damn.
I just watched the trailer for the movie. Man, it looks SO interesting! I'm very eager to see how his character copes with his faith and also the motives behind the kidnapper's actions.
He seems to have a beef with the guy. It almost looks like he's trying to make him pay/teach him a lesson for something.
In can't wait for his performance. That's a tough character to play and I'm sure he plays it very well.

Yeah, more of agnostic, or just a tolerant atheist.
I tried to post some trailers to upcoming movies, or those who had the premiere on the blog. So I may say, it's pretty updated on the matter.
If you read this, you know what movie I'm waiting for.
I guess in every Korean movie show I was watching lately (I Love Movies, Joint! Movie Journey, Entertainment Weekly, etc.) there was an interview with Kim Myung Min.
Everyone is interested in it^^
Me too.

I know he's got another movie coming out besides The Destroyed Man, but I don't remember what it was about. Just that I liked the idea. Lol.
He taught our numbskull a lot in BV, but Princess is endangering it all with his latest craze. See, THIS is what I want Keun Suk to grow up to be. A Kim Myung Min-type actor. Respected, admired and taken seriously.
I know his skills can take him there, but they can't do it if the image doesn't follow.
About the actors: It ALL depends on them solely. If they want to please the crowds, OK. Fine, do this, sell yourself. I don't care, as well I don't respect.
About our discussion:
Nah, the Princess won't trade her glitter for some face hair. Never. I waved goodbye also on the blog, so it's official.
Back to our discussion on actors:
Kim Myung Min is a very respected actor. With solid actor's base. The one who never got crazy about the ratings, popularity... hell he could. As for me Hyun Bin is an average one. Surely he's cute, but not that outstanding either. In the similar type of " man's beauty" as Kim Myung Min. But he's extremely popular because he wanted it. He did it with the right way, on the other hand.
He didn't wear a stripped Disco Ball like JKS.
That's the difference.
Two Official Websites for Kim Myung Min:
Korean Official Website
Japanese Official Website
And this other movie is:
Joseon Detective Jeong Yak Yong: The Secret of Yulnyumoon (Movie - 2010) - working title:

So I will start with my Men.
Man nr 1:
Jeong Jae Young
정재영
He started as a theatre actor, and even now he appears on the stages, he played in Welcome to Dongmagkol stage version, as well as some others.
No drama in his career.
But recently he, with some other fellow actors like Ahn Sung Gi released a campaign called "I'm a good Downloader". I guess it depicts us.
And truth be told, I admire him, no silly stuff from his side, no fangirling stuff from my side.
And since the craze about QSD is slightly over, I guess I can make a coming out about
Man nr 2:
Kim Nam Gil
김남길
And again, that is why I was waiting for the atmosphere to cool down. No silly stuff from him, no fangirling from me. (I don't count his goofy pictures on the set).
I admire them both.
Especially when I read this:
Kim Nam-Gil has stated his role model for an actor is Jeong Jae-Yeong, whom Kim Nam-Gil worked with in "Public Enemy Returns" and also graduated from the same high school.

And since I have 10 more minutes to spare and it's better to give them to some actors, not damsel in distress, I proudly present:
Ryoo Seung Ryong
류승룡
He's perfect, he can play a very miserable character, a cold-blooded psycho, and a warm person. Plus, he has this voice...
I guess now most of the people know him for his portrayal of Director Choi in "Personal Taste", my one and only reason to watch this drama. Well, LMH was cute, ok...

Ethlenn, Thanks for presenting these fine actors!! I'm pretty new to kmovies/dramas. Used to watch Japanese entertainment only and recently got persuaded to try out Korean. Sadly I don't understand a word but Korean men surely caught my eyes
Got one man to add and like to hear your opinion about him:
Ha Jeong-woo

NO! Stay away!!!
Ahem... sorry... just a reflex... See, this man scares the hell out of me! THIS is the kind of psycho I want Keun Suk to be one day. The Chaser was a horribly, disturbingly, disgustingly shocking and good movie and this guy just rocks in it.
He's made the killer completely nuts and avoided every cliche. He didn't look just non-responsive and cold or just angry or simply cheery like most psychos in movies look. They usually pick a behavior cliche and stick to it.
This guy goes through so much crazyness in the movie that it's really scary. This incredible man made me sit there holding and squeezing one of my couch pillows while watching the movie cause he was so damn scary. Ahaha. Awesome performance.
I really need to find more stuff with him.

I haven't seen any drama with him, but about the movies:
Parallel Life - this is really disturbing story.
Take Off , - I liked it, nice comedy with a bright thought reverberating through the entire movie. Plus, Kim Ji Seok in it^^
Like You Know It All - Slow, without much action, but focused more on the messed up personalities of those people. Plus nice shots from Jeju^^
My Dear Enemy - quite entertaining, not my style though.
The Moonlight of Seoul - oh, gods, don't watch if you don't have to. Heavy, dark, gloom, pessimistic. I was so washed up after watching this, and ended up hating everyone in this movie.
The Chaser - Orion stated what I wanted. One of the best Korean Movies at all.
Breath - heavy piece of movie. But I didn't like it. Maybe because of the photographic technique used in it?
The Fox Family - Ahahahaaa!! Watch it if you want some nice story. Different from what he usually plays.
Time - oh gods, another heavy, but brilliant Korean Movie
The Unforgiven - I didn't like it, personally, but...
She’s on Duty - ahahhaa!! I loved it, Gong Yoo and Kim Sun Ah, they were hilarious! Although story is plain, not too much action, very average movie.
Mr.Gam’s Victory - nice baseball movie. With Gong Yoo again^^ It gave me hope for some time, that we can do it if we want it.
2002 Madeleine - Jo in Sung also. Great soundtrack. Average love story, but served with very warm and amiable attitude. You won't regret.
Very good actor, very versatile. It's a pure pleasure to watch it.
Parallel Life is worth watching, really^^
Two other movies with him:
Love Fiction (2010)
And Us / Breakfast At Tiffany's (2009)
(but I haven't seen them yet )

Thanks for the recs!! I forgot to mention, I watched him in The Chaser and was overwhelmed by his performance. Then I rediscovered him in Boat (I watched it cause I like the Japanese actor Tsumabuki Satoshi) where he plays a pretty dumb guy, also very convincing and now I was wondering what to get next. Guess I'll go with Parallel Life.
Trailer for Parallel Life:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klbU3A-cLQc
I have The Boat somewhere, but I had no time to watch it.
So many movies, so little time...
Movie (Parallel Life) is on Avistaz, I can upload it somewhere as well, if you want.
Plus, about playing a dumb guy... In Wedding Campain, JJY played a character which I described as "mildly behind normal speed". That's why I love him^^
BTW. Poster for his new movie Iggi, where he plays... a 70 years old guy. He said in one interview, make up he had to wear actually aged him few years. You hear that Princess??

Thanks for the Info, Found PL. Relly appreciate your recs and infos!
I'm ashamed to admit, I didn't know anything about your man no. 1. Gonna check him out soon. The poster does look promising. The make up alone is amazing!!
I recently saw your man No. 2 in Bad Guy. Dunno about the drama yet, but I enjoy watching HIM ;)

You know, I was talking once with my Korean friend and she saw my wallpaper on my phone, and screensaver (wallpaper, JJY, screensaver KNG).
She was like: Who are they??
KNG is more known because of his role as Bidam, but JJY... she said I'm a weird European girl, and she said I can keep my men cause... ee... actually I can't even write it.
And yes, Orion, some good eyes you have^^

I know, I'm waiting for this movie a whole year long...
I feel so miserable, no one wants to buy me a ticket to Korea. Ticket for the premiere I can buy on my own, hehe.
Anyone?
I posted teaser here:
Nanana, I'm not normal, nanana

I'm addicted to trailers, you know? It's my weird hobby to watch them, and download the most interesting.
A good trailer parameters:
1.30 min - 2.30 min.
The less dialog the better
The less music the better.
No Robert Pattinson in it.
However, a good music can boost up the expectations (like in Iggi)
I gathered some:
Here 1

I'll watch them later, but I couldn't help not to watch the Secret Love one. I can't see Yu Ji Tae and ignore him. He just has something very adorable about him. Well, he's hot too, but adorable as well.
A veeery nice trailer, engaging,full of suspence and emotion. Awesome music to support it too. An awesome trailer can create great first impressions on a movie and on the other hand, a bad one can really make one misjudge.
Someone better sub this one soon cause I'd love to see it.

I need to drink. Heavily. Get dead drunk actually.
Innolife said that KNG is going to the military at the end of June.
But, after I drank first drink, I realized I was in a rush. How come? Today's 22nd. They finished shooting ep 11. If it's true, i will be absent, closed in some monastery.
For some period I have the wine supply of course...
Anyway!
First screeners for 71 - Into the Fire are available, but in such a bad quality... Movie itself looks like a blockbuster. I hope they didn't get rid of the "essence" of the movie and just focused on CGI. Premiere was on June 16.
here to watch the trailer:

Ah well. Like this thread.
Lots of Korean actors I have on my list.
Kim Nam Gil is a fairly new one although I must say I was impressed with him in the early movie 'No Regrets'. I think I may have mentioned that somewhere before. Made me sad but the acting was powerful.
There are several war stories out from Korea lately. It seems to be the fashion So Ji Sub doing 'Road No.1' promises to be good. the lead lady is Kim Ha Neul whom I greatly admire. Lots of the Korean heart throbs, as well as good actors, are off to the military.
Several are just coming back again.
Ha Jung Woo is breathtaking in 'The Chaser' I wonder he did not have nightmares doing that role. He can do anything... comedy or tragedy and horror.
'The Fox Family' was hilarious. Song and dance man and crazy fox man.
But he can be very attractive and persuasive in a romance.
Gotta go. Back later. Hope this thread grows.

i am just loving his charcaer as the king in Dong Yi. so sweet, so adorable and i think he is HOT too
and i realised last night that i have seen him in Perhaps Love with Takeshi. i just can't remember hi character. maybe because my eyes was glued to Takeshi and no one else
I ordered the whole set of Dae Jang Geum yesterday, as I have heard so much about this show. all this talk about historical dramas has affected me And I will get started on downloading Chuno soon as well ^^
How is Dong Yi compared?
The line of shows and movies that I want to watch is getting awfully long now... ^^
Oh My God, Dong Yi is the best. i was hooked on from ep1 and could not stop watching ep after ep. now i am so addicted that i watch the raws as they come out too.Ethlenn wrote:I'm waiting for my Queen Seonduk shipment (yes, call me crazy).
Dong Yi is a great drama! It scores the highest ratings from viewers, from critics and from downloaders^^
Really, watch it!
yes. i read JJH interview sometimes ago. isn't he just adorable and cute? as i said before, i just can't have enough of his king sukjung character and for the first time, i was NOT annoyed by the lead actress. i liked her in Iljimae too.
i think is only me but i realy can't like any of k-actresses. they all act annoying (well, the ones i have seen in dramas)

But I got the meaning anyway, dear.
I'm also bored to death by some young actresses.
Like Park Shin Hye, she's cute and adorable, but really can't act.
Yoon Eun Hye is on my list of favorite actresses, but her acting is average. I like her because she's hardworking, and natural^^
Lee Da Hae... don't let me start on this one, she's soooo overrated.
It seems like there is this trend, not only in Korea, but the strongest in Korea, to offer singing idols more and more roles.
Because everyone thinks that if she/can he acts in a MV, can also act in a movie/drama.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
The greatest example? Joo Ji Hoon. He was a model from the start. Then he was offered the first role. He was so damn awkward in it. But slowly, slowly he improved. And to be honest, there was only one scene in "Antique" that itched me with his acting. Apart from it, fine. After the military, I hope he will do just fine (and won't repeat the same mistake as last year in April). Jo In Sung started as a model as well, but he's hardworking. He didn't care about the image of freakin' hot guy and appeared in "Dirty Carnival", which is dirty, sad movie, and he plays not likeable, petty gangster.
But sometimes it doesn't work. I enjoyed UEE in YAB and the way she played her character, because, the "fake fairy" was as her acting: fake.

Woaaah, QSD... and there's Uhm Tae Woong in it..... I like his acting very very much, so maybe I should watch this drama. I've seen only a few of his works but I'm already really interested. I adore him in The Devil... I watched Handphone - with a little bit of KNG - yesterday so I just realized again how much I love him.
Yeah, he's great, I liked him in The Devil as well, he was a match for the devilish, cold, unaffected JJH's character.
Crap, there's something wrong with me, why do I like these types of characters??
Handphone was an average movie as for me, but I watched it for the cameo of KNG in it^^
Uhm Tae Woong in QSD is amazing. For 20 episodes I adored him, his courage, his committment, his stubborness and his passion, but then, in 21 episode some messed up young guy came out of a cave with a grin, so I fell from chair and had to collect my teeth...
Sorry (I had no idea he's in this drama in that summer night), and since I was waitching it live, I didn't remember the whole episode. So I had to download it, hehe...
Watch QSD, really, everything is just perfect in it. Hwarang boys, generals, costumes, Mishil (I hate Mishil, godsss I hate her!!!!).
Have you seen a new movie with Uhm Tae Woong? About the great wild boar? I'm not sure I like it, but it was somewhat funny. It's called "Chaw" if I remember it right...

I think Bae Doo Na is a pretty decent actress. After watching the feeew episodes of Cinderella Unni, of the younger generation, Moon Geun Young is definitely one of the better ones. I remember her from Autumn Fairytale. If it wasnt for that I have a strong dislike for melodrama and SO MUCH CRYING, I would have continued to watch Cinderella Unni, but nope.
Oh! I also like Yoon Eun Hye. She was the reason I saw "Take care of the Young Lady"... I also ALMOST managed to finish Vineyard Man, but had to give up half-way through, mainly because I got preoccupied with other more interesting dramas

I'm still behind...
I've just watched "The Outlaw" and hmm...
That's all, going to watch some more. I think "The Secret" is on the way (not this with Ryu Seung Ryong this time^^).
See ya ladies^^
aility, I watched Take care of the Young Lady, but for Yoon Sang Hyun though, he's just too adorable. Plus sings very well^^
Thinking about this drama now, I see Keunsuk in all of Hae Na's dresses and sparkle.

See? I told you so. He'd love her wardrobe. And Yoon Sang Hyun really is an adorable guy. I actually hated him at first because of the attitude and machoness and laugh, but then again, I hated Tae Kyung too. Some characters I just have to warm up to.
Watching it the second time around, I'm actually having more fun because I don't get angry at him anymore. Now all of the character's idiocy just seems cute. And he does sing well. Not in english actually, but in korean.

Yoon Sang Hyun's mustache really annoyed me though.. I guess the only one in my mind who can do the mustache is still just wonbin
I am waay behind, still havent seen any of the movies I have downloaded. Ush... maybe I will see one during dinner, before watching Japanese against Denmark. I want Japan to win, but on the other side, Denmark is representing Scandinavia, humph, tough choice.

I am glad we somewhat don't share the same taste in men, or uhm... in KNG.
Is that supposed to mean he's not a man?? You're dead, stay where you are and you won't have to worry about your wallet or cold weather anymore...
OK, psycho mod is off.
I posted some spam there but I decided to spam my blog instead, hehe... I mean, what spam??
This spam:
I guess everyone knows it by heart

I definitely won't miss QSD. About "Chaw"... I'm not sure if I want to watch it.Ethlenn wrote: Watch QSD, really, everything is just perfect in it. Hwarang boys, generals, costumes, Mishil (I hate Mishil, godsss I hate her!!!!).
