    Well, to be fair to the writer, I as a Joon Gi fan will straight away put him on the top spot. Then, I'll have a hard time too coming up with reasons for the other actors because they're all just 'meh' to me. 

    Anyway, let's not talk about other actors in this thread. They're irrelevant here and wholly irrelevant in our brains and hearts LOL. 

    You are absolutely right.Thats why I give her props for even managing to compile that list.And indeed no need for discussion of other actors when the thread is all about our precious LJG.Its just the topic at hand couldnt be written about, without mentioning others.

    I am sorry admin.Sometimes I have diarrhoea of the fingers..type type type before even finishing gathering my thoughts.:(

    Anyway back to positive things..No more distractions.2017 is shaping up nicely for our LJG.Variety, polls,FM.I am so happy for him.Thats how it should be. I'm now impatiently waiting for his drama to come out already for more of his awesomeness.:D

    Yes VOTE...but dang...there is no JG/IU for best couple or best kiss.  

    AND don't forget to VOTE for LJG as BEST BAD BOY:

    https://www.dramafever.com/dfa5/#best-bad-boy

    I know right.Why no So Soo couple.I always say on the international scene.If Song Song team couple ruled the first half of 2016 with DOTS.Lee Lee Couple team ruled the second half of 2016 with SHR.I mean come on now Dramafever.They and SHR are the ones who took the number one spot from DOTS on your website in 2016.Do we even need to discuss how sensational they were, YouTube,Blogs, forums etc were having a field day with them.all because of their excellent chemistry in the drama.

    Also talking about bad boys,  does anyone find it ironic and hilarious:lol:how LJG has been nominated on Dramafever as "Best Bad Boy".When in the Singapore interview, he was going on about how he is a good guy and how curious he was, if he tried living life as a 'bad and cool guy'.lol oppa you might get your wish soon..You may have a trophy of how "bad and cool" you are without even having to change yourself in real life, all because of a drama.You are indeed the Baddest, Hottest and Coolest being that has ever appeared in Kdramaland.:)

    4. Lee Joon Gi... is TALENT! He can sing, dance, and act exceptionally. This might the reason why his fans are so obsessed with him. When he does something, he gives his 100% and I can see it through his eyes. 

    Ummm Do I smell some sarcasm in this LMH fangirl's post?like she doesn't understand why the people who love LJG love him so passionately and deeply.Not just squealing over him for no reason like other fangirls do with artists who just have popularity and good looks with so so talent and ok personality? 

    Lee Joon Gi's: looks=100%. Personality 100% real and authentic.Talent= 101%. Thats why people love him so much.There is no ifs, buts, maybes, seems.it is what it is.he loves people(especially his angels/fans) wholeheartedly, gives his time and energy generously and works with a fiery passion like volcano.Since all we can give is our support and cheer for him, we love him back with the same passion.Simple.Point.Blank.Period.

    I get the feeling that she seems reluctant to mention LJG's positive attributes.Gotta give her props tho.It was a good read. If it was my biased self writing, that kind of list.From 1 to 10 will only be "Red Ginseng JG":lol:.It would totally look like the "100 things list we love about LJG" :wub:.

    Me too.like????.Lol :lol:I am sorry but I can't help but *scoff* at and take seriously any list that gathers Korea's best male actors especially the early 80s liners and late 80s liners and has LMH at number one.The only thing I agree with when he at the top, is popularity list.But even that fluctuates year after year coz there is always a new IT guy coming up.

  6. @oyashirazuabout the Seoul thing on number 69 on the list, I don't know who made that point but I guess she is referring to what he said on healing camp(?).Thats where I found he talk about how he moved from Busan to Seoul.See link below:

    https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1234749033283337&id=253717451386505

    NB:please everyone who manages to access this video and other videos of LJG healing camp on her page.Do not reupload lest it's blocked.its really hard to find his healing camp episode with eng sub.

    All credit goes to @LyraYoo. For the LJG healing camp.check the full episode on her facebook page.username: LyraYoo.You will be more blown away by his awesomeness.The videos are in four parts but they make up the complete ep with eng sub.

    @oyashirazu about the list, I think rather than listing specific names.How about just saying "this is our birthday gift to you from your LJG soompi fans".I feel it gives more of a unified voice as fans and show that we are of one heart.I know not everyone managed to contribute for good reasons, but I think in the big scheme of things it shouldn't matter. By saying this whether one suggested something or not everyone feels included.I think almost everyone in the thread agrees with what has been said in the list or am I making a false assumption/generalisation?.

    don't know about the 'strike while the iron is hot' part because there were many popular projects initially offered to him which he declined. E.g. 2D1N

    I am also thinking 'maybe' that's were PDs got the impression of him as picky and indifferent because of those many offers he rejected. 

    Also, This is just purely my personal opinion. I think he went on the MEC because many fans want him to be in a rom-com or romance drama but I think he'd be doing non-romance stuff on his next project. I think MEC is better than a rom-com or romance drama anyway.

    I see where you are coming from, well, talking about 2D1N.It wasn't just a simple case of him being offered and him declining it due to scheduling reasons..of course that's part of it but another factor was most people(netizens,fans even those who are neutral towards him like neither fan nor netizens) were of the opinion that he shouldn't join the cast for a number of reasons(good ones) but that's for another day.Refer to netizenbuzz and dramabeans if it helps about this.

    JG as the oppa that we know, does take public opinion seriously. I remember in one "video interview I wish I had the direct source, but he said "the public responds favourably and my fans are ok when I do talk shows but are concerned that I would be overwhelmed if I was a permanent member of a variety show since its time consuming".

    I know he will most likely not do rom-com any time soon.We love him in all forms, it doesn't matter:wub:.I only meant to say he has done well in accepting the candy show and he will benefit from this good decision.He will stay fresh in people's minds, especially if the upcoming drama promos start very soon, whatever project it might be, after he finishes guesting on the candy show.Since he is receiving so much love as we have seen in recent polls(white day survey, the American survey + this show+Wang So syndrome) he will remain trending and buzz worthy up until his next drama.

    . I also don't have problems with LJG on this show. He looks like he's genuinely enjoying it too.

    Me neither.As long as he is having fun and gaining more connections especially with the TVN higher ups..Good for him.If you all are following news about him on social media,today the TVN PD of the candy show just complimented him.He said LJG has a cold and mysterious public image, but after getting to know him, he has found that he is very friendly and even wish he could have his phone number and a brotherly kind of relationship. He also said LJG is very caring toward the candy show staff.

    These kinds of things can only be beneficial for him as an actor, because PDs across the networks talk to each other, and if he continues to leave positive impressions on them, they will recommend him to each other then that means more projects, more popularity and more money and everyone is happy:D(him, fans, PDs,Investors,Staff).

    Before he is actor LJG, he is human LJG so the awkward, the cheesy, the romantic, the cuteness all of it that we are seeing the show..Bring it all! I love it:wub:.The more LJG I see on my insta feed, about his drama or variety or interviews, the better especially since he only does one drama a year and not too many fan meet.Also here on soompi thread, it helps us stay connected and gives us a lot to talk about and fan girl over. 

    In addition,LJG has once again proven that he is a smart businessman.This saying that "strike while the iron is hot" is at play here.The more he maximises on his second wave of hallyu fame, the more it increases his visibility and appeal especially with the Korean masses.

    I am not saying he is not popular in Korea but I am saying the more they see him on TV with this show,especially with his upcoming drama, the more inclined they will be to tune in, and see what he will deliver when the first drama episodes air.If the plot and acting is stellar with all the actors aside from LJG, then we have a winner.

    Oppa fighting!!!!

    I'm not sure what it is, but I agree in that I kept wondering where that actress "was" in Joseon.  I don't know if it was the direction she was given or her choice, but her character was wooden and almost 1 dimensional for me. To me, it kind of reminded me of IU (HaeSoo) Episodes 9-14.  Maybe its a trend of historical actresses to be that way, but I don't find it interesting. 

    I can agree about what you are saying about Joseon Gunman's lead actress(NSM).But Haesoo(IU) may I respectfully disagree.First I would argue that's an unfair comparison. Because one was born in the past and transitioning into a new era (Joseon Gunman), and the other was from our present and adapting and reacting to the events of a past era, with knowledge of history in her mind.Secondly, the standard of acting would be different, given one is a senior whose main profession is acting. The other is a junior whose main profession is being a musician, and no it doesn't matter if both of them were acting in historical for the first time.Lastly, I actually thought IU showed some growth in the episodes(9-14) you have mentioned.If you had said from 1-8 then yeah I agree.see my explanation about LJG,IU,and NSM in spoiler for the sake of those who did not watch SHR yet.Lastly, its not only historicals, but it is common knowledge, that Kdrama generally gives most of the multi-dimensional characters, to the main 1st male leads and 2nd female leads, while the 1st female leads are one dimensional.Nevertheless, Good 1st lead actresses rise above poorly written scripts or characters, that would easily border on annoying, and deliver to make their characters interesting, I can think of a few examples, even historical ones but thats for another time.So for Joseon Gunman, NSM simply under-performed. But IU with her skill set and how her character was written, she did well.I cant see another hae soo but her.

    Spoiler

    ep.10 when she was in the prison cell and how she acted with LJK(inner confusion, affection. is it love I feel for him?,It hurts me to see him hurt). To the cave scene in ep 11 when lady Oh was sentenced(desperation and grief. when she bawled her eyes out.In ep 11, she also how she acted in the rain scene when lady Oh died and KHN turned away(hopelessness,disbelief).To when she was demoted to water maid in ep 12(resignation.) to her breakup with KHN(assertiveness).I think that is where there was no wooden acting.She acted like how most of us would have acted if we were in that situation.All of this was in her body language, facial expression and monologues and how she modulated her voice to communicate her emotions.And in these situations, we could actually feel and see what she(IU) was feeling while with NSM none of that came through even when she was laughing, crying or whatever..we could not connect with her.

    And yeah of course we are biased, if LJK starts sneaking backhugs and kisses like in ep 13 or making marriage proposals and saying lets elope..our eyes would have been shooting hearts and we would be smiling from ear to ear, everything else be damned and we would be saying yes orabeoni wth loads of aegyos to boot. But haesoo was a girl who had just gotten out of a relationship, she was beaten to almost being disabled, she had learnt that she needs to watch her words and manners lest she be killed.So of course she would be subdued and shut down.As for ep 14..lol if LJK was this close to your face like 10 cm away, you would freeze despite your active imagination on what you would do if you met face to face , when a man is that beautiful and he is saying them romantic words with such a sexy voice.At least haesoo was still alive after it all:D.ok il stop now!!

    yes totally agree, is it too much of a struggle for the makeup/costume artist to dress him up like this instead of that noodle hairstyle and what not. I was not fond of his fair in my ear's candy but he looked so cute and handsome:wub: it didn't bother me that much.

    Agree.He looks so beautiful this way.Ive said it many times and I will say it again.No part of Jun Ki's face is meant to be hidden.That is why his face was created so beautifully.I think someone needs to hashtag stylist-nim..no more bangs covering forehead.He can rock the bangs because well he is JG but why downplay his beauty when he can look this gorgeous without them.

    Ah and how does he rock every colour of sweaters/jumpers/cardigan..green looks so beautiful on him.He also looked so pretty when he wore the yellow one at Hong Kong FM :wub:

  13. so far @oyashirazu unnie updated us with the JG love list and we got to #83. four points have been added so far hope unnie you are keeping track:wub:

    88.(maybe).When I was watching the zaobao singapore interview.He was saying how curious he is about being a "bad boy, since he is the "good boy type", who is conscientious about what people say about him.Then something crossed my mind.I am amazed at how he has managed to maintain a good balance, between having a positive public image, and maintained an air of mystery around his private life, for such a long time(10+ years).I mean he is human and allowed to make mistakes, and what he does in private is none of our business. But its like everywhere he goes, both in Korea and International, he commands respect not only as an actor but as a person.It is very rare to find people talking negative things about LJG (netizens, staff, co-workers, journalists(although they say he had a brief "star sickness episode" at the early stages of his career but who wouldnt when you suddenly become famous haha).

    This is a very difficult thing to do when you are a celebrity or public figure especially a very successful one like LJG. Respect!!How many idols, actors and celebrities, some who debuted later than lee joon gi both in Korea or even across the world have fallen prey to scandals, controversies became subjects of tabloid gossip.Of course some of it is baseless, but still for our love LJG to rise above it all, when he is such an open and transparent person, is still all kinds of awesome.

    79. He knows how to be a fan himself: He's a big fan of Big Bang and EXO <- Not 100% sure I understood the former post by @emeraldblue about him being a Big Bang fanboy correctly. Did he call himself a Big Bang fan? And I do remember he also loves EXO so I added that but can someone confirm this to be safe? Or if someone knows what group/which singer he likes best that would be a great help :)

    Ah about Lee Joon Gi loving Big Bang.He never said out loud that he is their fan.But I would assert that it is a safe assumption that he is one.Otherwise why would he spend all his energy creating a dance medley covering songs of an idol group that he is not interested in for his Asia Tour.Besides this is not the first time,He is dance covering their songs.He covered "Ringa Ringa" by Taeyang's back in 2014 at two fan meets..in Shanghai and GuangZhou FM.see inserted videos in hidden contents below.

    Continuing with the why we love LJG list.

    84. "Candy in my ear" has to me revealed another aspect of LJG's personality that I suspected he had but needed confirmation.He is very neat and tidy.From the way his trophies are arranged in his cabinet, to the way the floor in his house is nice and shiny, to the way he packs his luggage.Lol, even his dogs look well taken care of.Some would say don't exaggerate it's just for TV's sake but my gut feeling tells me otherwise.I love me a neat guy anyday anytime.This clearly shows he is husband material. Should he decide to get married, He can be trusted to look after the home efficiently and effectively if wifey is away.

  15. Also check out scarlet heart ryeo instrumental ost " "Love of Haesu" featuring in Lee Joon Gi's guest appearance in tvn's "Candy in my ear".It's only a few seconds from 0:01 to 0:16, but still it just warms my heart that a Korean TV Broadcasting Station that didn't produce the drama made a nod to the drama's soundtrack.see below; the clip am referring to and compare with the full version of the ost.

  16. Anyone remember this scene from his voice.arggh my heart broke with him.You can hear his sadness, desperation and longing for his mother's love.uri poor Wang So.I think it was ep 3 of moonlovers if not mistaken.I can't rewatch just yet.my heart still aches just thinking of scarlet heart ryeo.:bawling:

     

    NB:I must make mention that I have a new found respect for Lee Joon Gi's voice.I grew up listening to radio plays.lol lest you think I am an ahjumma hahaha,I am not.Just that in my country of origin, TV was not and is still not accessible to everyone coz of poverty so radio is the way to go for entertainment.Back to Joon Gi, you can still feel his raw emotions in just his voice alone.Even if scarlet heart ryeo was a play on radio or I was blind and couldn't see what the actors are doing.Still Joon Gi's performance as Wang So was really detailed and nuanced.He really poured his soul into the character.:rolleyes:

  17. Continuing Lee Joon Gi love list.

    75. Ok I'm gonna sound pervertish here but ahem #sorrynotsorry.But really it's coming from me not as a fan girl(for a minute) but as a drama critic.He really is a "romantist"(whatever that means that's what he always say)too although he always credit Kang Ha Neul with that which I agree with but I do have a feeling that he is excellent at showcasing romance in drama.

    Il explain; his kiss scenes in pretty much all his dramas but especially his post military ones,in my opinion, have a certain authentic ness or realness that is rarely found in other kiss scenes in dramas.They are usually not too aggressive or intense.Instead they are gentle and filled with so much emotion they can burn your screen.Especially in scholar who walks the night and moon lovers I could play the kiss scene over and over and over again because there is just that special feeling to them that I can't put in words.

    Ah and when he is making love confessions instead of them sounding cheesy or just like an actor reciting a script or trying to look cool.His sound so passionate.so full of longing. so meaningful. so loving.moonlovers and arang and the magistrate best demonstrate this.

    Spoiler

    See arang and the magistrate towards the end of ep 12 and also towards end of ep 13 for heart wrenching love confessions.

    See also moon lovers in the prison scene in ep 11 for indirect heart tugging love confession.see also heart melting jealousy and love induced love confession in ep 14.

    , surely everyone has some new points to add to our list of things we love about Joon Gi, especially the chingus who were at the concert in Singapore?

     

    @oyashirazu well done Unnie for compiling the list.wow it must have taken you a while to dig up everything since this thread has moved very quickly.I suggest if a kind hearted soul is willing to translate the list to Korean.Please do before giving him.I feel it would be much better if we express our love for him in the language he understands the best and send him the English version too.Our oppa make effort to communicate to us in the global language.we should also repay him back by reaching out to him in his language.Thats my opinion though.No need to translate word for word just summarise one liners in the Korea version and full revised text in English.

    73.Remember earlier we said he doesn't need to show us abs to prove his sexiness.well I'm still delighted that Singapore FM has shown us uri oppa has a toned body especially his belly:wub:.He really has his "sexy on".Oppa if you have the urge to flaunt your body or a drama/movie requires you to do a shower scene or brooding half naked or treat a wound like with your shirt off.Dont be shy and be more body confident.your abs are not "fabric conditioner abs":D like you said in your interview.

    Hmmm - skin colour - which number of our love-list that would be? :love:

    We stopped at number 65.

    66.I propose that we add this on our love-list at number 66.No one mentioned how beautiful his skin colour is.

    67.His commitment and passion for his main profession as an actor.Il explain.So you see the guy is not only an actor, he has other side endeavours as a model, ventured into music and variety show so he can interact better with his fans.But all of these side professions can be full time careers on their own, they are demanding.You can see how this manifests itself physically by how much his weight fluctuates every now and then.He is such a workaholic.

    but still each and every year he continues to participate in at least one acting project.he could take a hiatus for one year or two, and God knows the guy deserves some rest..So I find that really admirable.And he does it all so cheerfully,see his photoshoots always jumping around,see his bts at film sets he is the moodmaker and at recording studio still so cheerful.

    Unnie,I agree with what you are saying.now that you mention it.I am starting to suspect the age range of the people writing these negative comments.from what our chingu has translated.you can see some of the comments are really childish.It could be some older fans are included but I really really have a strong feeling it's the newer fans who have just started following Jun ki's career plus haven't really gotten to know Lee Joon Gi the person, plus some haters disguised as fans in the mix.Because really the genuine level- headed Lee Joon Gi fans don't care about ratings, awards, genres whatever. We just want to continue to enjoy his works that's all. if all those other things come along as a result of his project, fine and good if they don't it's ok.our love for Lee Joon Gi has no conditions attached.We see Lee Joon Gi's name, we support.

    sorry if I offend anyone with everything I have said.love and peace everyone.
