@Berou In that case I have edited my post too cuz I dont wanna be misunderstood either ( cuz my point too was that he isnt self suicidal, just rebellious / tryina break free from his past image etc etc). I was not spreading rumours, I know some of  the history yes, I was only presuming that things might not be well as of late with his previous agency (cuz agree or not Korean agencies are dark, so many stories out there about so many of them, we arent there we dont know and if we exclude the manager hyung we dont know what exactly things were like with the whole agency off camera ). I was only presuming the possibility that maybe things werent well lately, he needed change and  thats why he left the agency when contract ended.  To be clear I am not/was not spreading rumours, it was/is not my intention, just my presumption.  Lets just hope YSH  finds stability soon and separates his personal and professional lives , gives us a good project in near future, his career doesnt suffers from suicide and we all enjoy years of his talent/acting happily everafter. We are all worried, even I am, you already know how I wasnt in favour of him doing INR and MSH but we shouldnt let all our hopes go. He said he wants to play a villain. That ought to give some hope that he is willing to change the way he is walking on/ willing to change his choices if something worth it comes his way. Its a new management company  he probably has more freedom now and hopefully things might work out in his favour in future. I dont wanna see him play a 2nd lead or an OTT villain but a strong grey character like that of LJG from Moon lovers  with a happy ending wont hurt. LJG got international stardom even tho the show didnt do well in Korea. Lets just hope something like that happens for YSH, he gets the opportunity, luck and stroke of enlightment soon and his career soars. Fingers crossed.

Yes, that another sad sence he forgot his date with In-ah and went back to his old house, sitting infront of his door!! that sence so sad!! 

Both Jin Woo and Harry lost thier memory in the end!! but Jin Woo make me feel sadder! maybe It's a good ending! his extraordinary good memory gave him more painful than happiness! Harry.. I still think he is pretending he lost his memory! but think about it!! both still alive but the road infront of them will be sorrow and difficult! Harry has done a lots of mistake and bad things so he deserve in some extent! Yeo Woon die tragically but at least he no need to suffer his life till the end and he is living painfully and choose to end his own life! but Jin Woo.. he just pure bad luck! he lost his family! everybody look at him like a dirt because of his father! he cannot give his father a justice!! he is a good person and so pure and innocent!! he just tragic! 

Sigh. Dont cry Some endings are just sad like that and hit us really hard. Harry and Yeo Woon's endings were sad and  painful in their own ways. I'm afraid I dont think Harry Yeo Woon deserved the endings they got because I  understood their motivations ..both had different ways of reaction to their negative circumstances , one turned psychotic and lashed out in pain, other gave his life but yes you are right poor Jin Woo only got bad luck. True I also feel Harry was faking to lose his memory in the end but Jin Woo wasnt.Not entirely i think. Jin Woo wasnt hated by everyone though, he got justice and In Ah chose to follow him. It was really sweet of In ah to follow him even with his memories gone..he wasnt left completely alone atleast. In Ah was so sweet and loyal I'm sure she'd have loved and comforted him till the end, the ending was an open one and both walked the same path together . Well that was the only  bright part I could find in that sad ending , maybe u see it too? Cheer up and think that Jin Woo forever had someone beside him who did not hated him and loved and supported him forever.

Actually I am not a Hwan Hee fan... . I compare Hwan Hee and Yeo Woon just because they have similar in the look! infact I am Hyun Jong Hyun fan! I felt for YSH because of Imaginay Cat! . for look, I am Seo Jin Woo fan. he is amazing and breathtaking good looking in Remember! cannot forget the scene he stand infront of the court and people throw eggs on him!! umm.. cannot forget every sences of Seo Jin Woo anyway! 

 

 

Oh thats ok Yes looks wise Hwan Hee was similiar and beautiful too. When I started the movie I was like omo my wish of seeing Woonie alive again one more time has come true but ..sigh that wasnt the case. Hwan Hee wasnt like Woon. Even in Arang and the Magistrate he played Jade emperor who was similiar in looks, he even caught me off guard in a couple of scenes where he looked/gave expressions exactly like Woonie and my heart stopped. I tried to convince myself this is Woonie all white pure beautiful angel living happily and peacefully in heaven but oh well the conviction didnt last long. Guess I'd probably just cry over Woonie's beauty and sad fate forever he just hit me really v hard unlike any character I have seen till date so ...apologies for all the rambling I guess.

As for your choices I like them too! So many times I wanted to push Bu Gil sshi/ kitty out and wanted to sit in her place so that he would look at me instead and I could look into his eyes LOL sorry I'm a crazy fangirl like that, his eyes are too captivating and the kitty got to see them a lot so I was like shoo kitty shoo let me see his eyes lol. Just kidding I liked Imaginary Cat  and his love for the cat. He and Cat both were sweet. It was a cute show. As For Jin Woo. Sigh. That was another sad sad character. That egg scene you mentioned was so sad and heartbreaking! Also when he went back home instead of going on the date and waited for his father as if he was alive It was sad to see him lose his memories bit by bit and struggling to remember he has yet to get justice for his father.. It was a relief though that he managed to retain his memories till he got justice but it was heartbreaking that his father had already died and he didnt get to live with him again  He did get justice but it wasnt of much use, his little world was already destroyed

It's ok! I just base on visual only! Joseon Magician just a movie! YSH is extremely beuatiful in the movie! but his character isn't too nice! Hwan Hee has many flaws and not entirely likeable! maybe that's why the movie didn't do well! and because it's only a less than 2 hours movie it has no depth into his character, not like WBDS! it's a drama! you have plenty of times to understand Yeo Woon and get into him, feel his pains and sorrow and fall for his charm! I personally like Yeo Woon more than Hwan Hee personality! but visual vice I think the movie art director doing a better job! purely base on how his look not his character! just my 1 penny oppinion!

 

Yes its true the movie director tried to make the movie aesthetically more appealing (its a movie afterall) and I dont mind flawed characters if they have some sort of depth in them. Hwan Hee did had depth but just not of the level of Woon I guess...Yes Wbds was a drama, definitely longer than the movie but I remember fast forwarding through so much of it cuz it was long, writing was sloppy at many places and most importantly it had so less of Woon in it and I had eyes for Woon (and his dynamics with Heuksa Chorong and others)  only. Maybe he was the second lead thats why? They gave him less screenspace, less dialogues and YSH's accident during the time of shooting didnt help things either so I dunno if I could say there was ample time to fall for Woon in the drama and less time for Hwan Hee in the movie. Movie though short was focused on Hwan Hee because he was the lead. Woon on the other hand was 2nd lead, drama wasnt focused on him and to add to that they just killed him off when they couldnt torture him anymore/ didnt needed him anymore /simply to get it over with (or whatever the reasons maybe, dont know, dont care  ) . Sigh I dunno maybe I am just biased for the visual, character and beauty of Woon more, but you can fully support Hwan Hee if you want, he was beautiful in his own way and yes scenic/ natural beauty etc etc was also better in the movie I think,  I dont mind your opinion at all, to each their own

Umm... No one like me even I am much beautiful than Woon! 

 

 

Oh I missed this post earlier. Yes I liked him in the Magician. He WAS beautiful but...more than Woon? Sigh. I'm afraid I'll have to disagree. Woon was something else as a character...someone with more depth....more sorrow...more helplessness..someone who was denied love from childhood, someone who was misunderstood no matter how hard he worked behind the shadows/scenes to make things right ..someone who tried and tried yet he could not free himself from his destiny...someone who was good at heart yet considered bad cuz of his actions during the daylight which had hurt others...but he had to do what he had to do even if it killed him inside cuz he was just..different i guess? Sigh he was just a misunderstood dark prince imo..there were many layers to his character which YSH's character in The Magician did not had. I am not saying he wasnt good or beautiful in the movie I am just saying Woon was more deep intriguing heartbreaking and beautiful as a character. Sorry for such a serious post tho lol...it came out more serious than I thought but never mind.  The good part was that atleast his movie's character ended on a better note.

Exactly, villain characters should have some standards. And the sexyness or hotness of actors playing those characters won't erase the shallowness of those characters. I'm sorry to say this, but the people behind this project really look down on the general public and think that if someone like YSH plays a direspectful and trash character, the general public will become blind and pretend that his character's flaws don't exist and will cheer for him, fangirl over his supposed hotness, YSH with his charms will achieve to make them forget he will be playing a character mistreating women. 

 

To be fair we have not seen the script yet but the sound of webtoon definitely sucks and yes no matter how good looking or sexy the actor is, the shallowness of the character wont be erased. I dont mind if the lead has one or two past relationships, got cheated/ hurt and turned bad or vengeful. Its natural and anyone would be able to relate. However, sleeping with every woman right left and center (just for the sake of it or whatever), demeaning them, treating them as objects that too without any particular serious reason definitely sounds trashy. Being playboy due to a troubled past is one thing, being spineless and characterless is another. I am sure general public isnt gonna like it either. It sounds like a cliched story, rich shallow characterless guy falls for the oh so poor hardworking pretty n silly damsel in distress with strong character apparently and since the body swap is gonna take place so its gonna be a bit of a nasty shocker when he finds out the truth that the woman he loves isnt pretty afterall and is just an average looking employee at his workplace. Sigh we can already predict some of the story I guess. By the looks of it the Female Lead of the show is gonna be more of a central character because she is swapping bodies so she'll have to display her acting skills more. This doesnt sounds like a show where Male lead would be focused much. It'd probably be the female lead and her struggle of adjusting into the superstar's body while being just an average employee on the inside but lets see. The whole concept of the show seems cliched / half baked and since Ruler's team is backing it so I wont be surprised if this show turns out to be as much of a mess as Ruler was (just like an empty vessel with a shiny body)

I suddenly remembered YSH words at his FM. He said he wants to play a villain. The character in the romcom is close to villain to be honest,except he is not the villain but the main character. In my opinion it answers to why he chose this romcom. 

I wish he stops taking decisions emotionally and thinks thouroughly. Just because he wants to break his melo guy image or wants to play a villain, doesn't mean he has to hop on the first project that gives him that chance. He should wait for the right projects, otherwise he is going to ruin his image. 

I hope he listens to his fans this time. 

Sorry to say this but I'm glaring at him and the people who help him to pick projects. Didn't any alarms go on when they read the script ? YSH should have received the script of the first episodes at least. I expected him to have a better judgement. Actors like Lee Je Hoon who act in movies about comfort women and their struggles have all my sympathy and respect. But I can't shield my faves who choose to act in projects promoting the objectification of women, bullying, workplace ill-treatment and sexism. 

Exactly. There is no shielding our favs from shallow characters like that and if the powers that be are reading this forum and the Korean fans have already sent them mails etc etc then Im sure YSH and his agency would be feeling all the glares too lol. Not that he wont be able to pull it off but l dont want him to play an OTT villain cuz he wont be the Lead then. He should be the lead ( tho strong grey character would be an added plus for me) but a well written one, not a shallow spineless one like this web toon.

Thank you so much @rachel98 for clarifying things for us and I agree with everyones words here!! I was already baffled by the news of YSH in talk for a 3rd rom-com in a row and one with a shallow story and character but now I feel even worst...what did he or his agency even think still considering this drama? this is not how YSH think nor consider his roles (he's a respectful man) and what good would it give his career or make use of his talent but give fanservice which YSH always kept away from as much as he could and with last real life scandals this is even worst timing for such project guranteeing him being cursed for this role if he takes it...he wants to play villain? we all wish for it knowing how good he'll pull it off but this is not a villain role, it's only a sleezy disrespectful man which I won't and can never see YSH play!! really he and his agency need to put more thoughts into his project choices and not jump into 1st project he get and stop with rom-coms for now!!

 

I thnk he can play any character, this one too cuz he is very good at acting, he'd be able to pull it off cuz by the looks of it he wouldnt have to do much effort anyway. However I dont want him to play this character cuz like you said it looks like a sleezy disrespectful shallow man. Yes I like good well written villains having depth  and  given his eyes and talent YSH can pull them off with grace too but that doesnt mean he should play just any villain. The villain should have some spine depth and standard atleast. Not every other disrespectful sleezy  shallow guy/ villain is likeable.

I loved Secret Garden. ANd you are right, there are similarity to it. There would be an added comparison to that highly successful drama and another unnecessary pressure to it

Oh I loved it too. The initial half atleast. I got tired by the body swapping in the end but then usually all kdramas lose their steam by the end of it. Writers, actors, everyone did a good job there . The strong stunt woman concept was also new I think. Anyways yes if this drama is similiar to it then the similiarities are bound to be noticed, comparisons are bound to be made and all this is merely gonna add unnecessary pressure to it (and if this drama.isnt well/ carefully written, which I think it wont be but its just my opinion,  then naturally its gonna turn to the pile of another YSH's dramas that couldnt/ didnt do well. I dont wanna say this but at the end of the day only YSH is gonna be blamed and called a failed actor . Only some sensible people blame the script, mostly people see ratings and success is decided upon ratings mostly)

Hi guys Im new to this forum and I rarely comment at all. But I just want to let you guys know specifically why korean fans are so against him doing this drama. 

Theres really no problem about the body switching part. The problem is who the male character is. He's not just a tsundere male lead. He is complete trash that views women as objects and looks down on women.

I am a Korean American seungho fan. Ive been reading about this webtoon and korean fans comments. Ill try my best to translate.

 

Examples of how the male lead looks down on females:

1. Male lead sees a female employee not wearing makeup

he says "you are the first woman to appear in front of me with such an insincere/half hearted face. even normal maids have the decency to at least wear lipstick"

2. this line is kind of hard to translate to english. Ill try my best.

"I am a male who isnt picky and is omnivorous when it comes to women"

Ok omnivore means animal who eats both plants and animals. This comment basically means the male character doesnt care about anything as long as she is a girl. In an extreme way this can be translated as "I can sleep with anyone as long as its a girl, Im not picky."

 

obviously this isnt all. theres more but i cant translate it all.

 

Not only the male lead, but other male characters in the story also look down on women and say comments that objectify them. they make r rated comments about their bodies etc.

 

Other problems

-the male character looks down on normal employees. making them do unnecessary tasks etc. Nowadays when people are sensitive about employee treatment and not abusing authority. this can definitely spark controversy. 

 

-the first girlfriend of the male lead character was a school bully. Korea is extremely sensitive to bullying issues and hate it a lot.the fact that the male lead's girlfriend was a school bully? thats a big NO no matter how charming the character may be written out to be. just that fact will bring hate.

 

Korean fans are saying sure the writer may be able to change the story to make it better, but just how much better can it get when the entire story is like this? Why take the risk at all? Also, even if its just "acting" its the actor in the end who gets the hate.(a lot of people are fans of the drama so I really dont want to hurt any feelings. but for the drama i am not a robot in the first episodes, there was a line that mingyu said about checking the robot's chest to check the battery and since the robot was actually human she gets mad. do you know what the title of the article on naver was that day? it was "yoo seung ho gets cursed at while trying to touch (actress's name)'s breasts" yes. this was the article title on the MAIN PAGE. he got so much hate comments for this scene even if it was just acting. this is how much the character and what lines the character says in the drama can hurt the actual actor and his image with the general public. that drama was definitely special for many people and it was a work that in the end healed many people's hearts. but the general public does not stick around to be proven wrong. if they watch the first couple episodes and find it controversial, they wont try to finish the rest and think of the actor negatively based on what they watched in the beginning.)

Unless yoo seungho wants to go for the playboy image that looks down on women, this role will not help him at all. especially when he is known for his respectful and kind image and thats what people like him for. 

Just in what way can this help a male actor who mainly relies on the female fanbase? 

Also, i dont think having three romcoms in a row will help his career. he needs something different especially when his previous two romcoms didnt do so well viewer ratings wise.

 

I just wanted to share this so people can be more informed. 

I was looking at social media and some fans just seemed to be excited because this drama seems to have lots of steamy scenes like kiss scenes, shirtless scenes, and bed scenes.

Well, an actor should not be be well known for doing good kiss scenes and good looking face. he needs to be recognized for his acting to have a successful long running career and this role is just not it. he needs a strong role that can bring him recognition for his acting.

 

 

I just tried to translate what I got from Korean sites. I'm sorry if I hurt any seungho fan's feelings. I really didnt mean to. I was just trying to be honest because I really want him to be recognized for his acting. I really want him to succeed and hit big. Im sure we all feel that way.

 

 

Hi Rachel, welcome to the forum ( I shouldnt be the one welcoming you here since I myself am not a regular member lol I merely dropped in yesterday and before that I wasnt able continue My Strange Hero to be able to provide input but welcome anyway ) . Thankyou so much for taking time out to write this insightful post. Since you are part Korean and understand the language fully, we are lucky to have you here Your post does clarifies a lot of things for us cuz we were curious about the webtoon and the whole deal about it. Now I see why Koreans arent very happy about it. Noone would be. Afterall who likes the kind of guys who treat women like objects?  No wonder everyone is against this project. The writer no doubt can do anything, he is the master of the story afterall, he can tone everything down  but he'd have to be extremely cautious because one step outta the line and its gonna create a wave of fury. You are right, I have seen this with many Koreans, they see actors for what they are onscreen and if Yoo seung Ho chooses this project then based on what you have said above we can all guess what kind of an image he'd be creating for himself. From what I have seen subtlety, good manners, purity, strength and goodness of characters mean a lot to Koreans otherwise they usually flip. Far too many of my favourite 2nd leads, leads, grey characters have been shoved to the grinder cuz of their moral compass to make me say that and if YSH chooses this then all his fangirls there are gonna flip for sure. I understand he wants to show he is nothing like old Yoo Seung Ho anymore but since he already did two romcoms so imo it was enough to break his old image but continuing the streak and choosing projects based on characters like you described in your post? No its so not done

Oh! very well said!  Yes, I am one very supported and a fan of his unit personality! at the same time, some times get really dissappointing with what he chosed! hiding himself is one of them! choosing another romcom is another! for us, his career looks bleak if this drama really going to happen! but for him, he just do what he like to do! like his hobbies! can be very dangerous but he loves it! as a fan, we give him our best wishes and best support! just hope that his bad choice ( for most of us here, and now we know many of his Korean fans too ) will not ruin his chance for his future! a bad drama after another.. who's going to give him so many chances! 

TBH after found out he change his manager I am very happy and have a high hope! I thought he will come out more often or even do some reality show!! now... I am shredded! I think this is his choice! BS didn't influence him very much! 

 

 

Thankyou I agree with you. As fans we can only offer our well wishes/ support and can merely express our opinions on different online portals. Choosing or not choosing something to do is entirely up to him, we, unfortunately, cant do anything about it ( cuz we arent Koreans anyway so our opinions dont matter much or are merely secondary to Koreans ) but yes if he keeps on disappointing his fans especially the native Koreans then it would be a problem for sure. I am not against his hobbies, as long as he remains within safe limits. I see no harm in bit of an adrenaline rush. Same goes for his choices. He should do everything within safe limits. Any more drawbacks might not be good for his career. He went ahead, enjoyed doing what he wanted, now I think he should separate his personal opinions and professional life a bit and see what works best for his career rather than choosing everything emotionally. Ofcourse I would never want anything which is too hard for him emotionally/ physically, but like I said everything can be done within safe limits. I dont want him to completely sideline his interests or emotions, all I ask is for him to be a bit more practical about his career choices. I hope that made any sense lol. I was also happy when I heard he left his last agency but I wasnt too over the moon when I saw he joined this one cuz when I saw the actors associated with this agency...they seemed to be on ...I dunno too many breaks/ hiatuses so I was a bit worried about him but yeah I still hoped that the agency would treat him as their prized posession or something and might get better projects for him than the previous ones. I never hoped for him to do any reality show, he was too into other hobbies at that time? I dunno I just had a feeling he wouldnt do it anytime soon and it turned out to be true, he didnt do it. I also think this is his choice not BS'.  Now we can only hope for some miracle to happen otherwise this project  seems almost confirmed, doesnt looks very good and yes again I am not very happy about it.

I hope the deal wasn't seal yet! I guess both of them agreed and choose this romcom together! BS will listen to him if he really don't want it! he may see something different from us! anyway it is a bit different! Its fantasy romcom! He already said he is too young to play a doctor! I think he already know what he is going to do during the FM.  Just wish him luck if he going to take this project! I know you will be very very dissapointed!

 

I second you on this. He must be knowing about this when he went for the FM and maybe he was offered a doctor's role too? thats why he said he was too young and probably rejected the offer?  I do think he can easily pull off a doctor's role though. The character could have been changed to a med student or an intern. Its the 3rd year and final year residents who are mostly a bit older or those who have completed their residency / Head of departments etc etc. Not exactly sure about Korea but usually interns and fresh graduates are pretty much around his age group and he would have been able to pull off his role easily. He has done that in the past too. I never felt awkward seeing him play characters older than his age. He pulled them off easily with grace. Every fan wishes him luck and wants the best for him. Some of us just get disappointed sometimes but doesnt mean we dont wish him luck or sucess  I for one have been very disappointed with his choices lately but I always wish the best for him and I always wait anxiously if the next project he does comes out to be good or not.

 Right there is some dissension in naver news too.

I've found finally the webtoon. It's in korean

https://m.novel.naver.com/webnovel/list.nhn?novelId=494453

 

It's also the first time for me too. I don't know if the pleas will work but we should never underestimate the power of angry fans,especially korean yoopies. His korean fans were able to dissolve his previous official fanclub, Talk To U, in the span of 5/6 days. Sometimes casting news get leaked and koreans get really angry, the casting team then takes into consideration the feedback and changes actors. 

If the deal is sealed,  nothing can be done. If YSH is really into talks, there is some hope left and in any case it will look badly on him to have ignored his fans pleas if he accepts it. I don't know whether it's BS guiding him to choose this romcom or if he really wants to film another romcom. 

 

No I  wasnt underestimating them or anything (never underestimate the power of angry fan(s) it can get dangerous lol) , I just didnt knew the extent of power they had or the extent to which their pleas would be heard. I didnt knew about this fanclub incident  either or what was the reason behind it but 5/6 days?! Woah they sound some pretty serious fans. As for the project you are right, if he has already signed the dotted line then nothing can be done about it and by the looks of it the deal seems pretty much done and very much according to his own choice (well apparently). Earlier he did serious roles, lately he opted for mostly cutiepie roles. Seems like he is an extreme, either/or kinda guy. Either he picks too sad projects OR he picks totally fluffy ones with no in betweens. I understood when he did INAR that he wanted to breakout of his previous image but he has done 2 romcoms already which is enough to break an image imo. Going for the third isnt gonna break his previous image more than the last two ones. Trying different genres and seeing which one he excels at (although I do think historicals and melos are his forte but thats just my unpopular opinion) is gonna give his career a boost and his image the much needed change. Truth be said acting is a very very competitive business. Things just cant and shouldnt be taken for granted that too after repeated drawbacks. Not everyone this good looking, this talented gets the chance to act. I know poor guy has some past issues related to being part of the industry and he has my full sympathy and support but if he is to continue then he has to try his hands on different genres too otherwise his career looks bleak (unless some miracle happens and his romcom with no strong backing does becomes a huge unexpected hit)

Im trying to understand but it's hard. Can anyone find the webtoon and post it here? 

 

Im just shaking my head and I don't know what to think too. What is he trying to prove? He know Ruler was really bad, he read the reactions and online comments. 

Indeed he is always on the list of actors who are bad at picking dramas. I can already forsee the incoming bad feedback about his pick. 

 

 

 

Oh so Korean fans are against it too? Do the pleas work? I have never heard about something like this but lets see and hope that the plea works, he rejects this offer and gets some big ticket project instead. Cuz this one just doesnt sounds so good and considering his picks lately, he is being as (I dunno how to put it) dangerous /focused/ serious about them as drifting or motocross.

Which makes me frowning very hard. I don't understand why YSH is considering it knowing the Ruler's mess. He himself emphasized how much he suffered during the filming. He should have avoided this drama and should avoid any drama from Ruler team. 

Exactly. Thats what.  After Ruler's mess I thought he had learned his lesson and would avoid them in future but guess not.  Tbh I dont know what to think anymore. Maybe he is trying to show he has no regrets choosing such half baked projects? and would continue to do the same in future too? Sigh people are already saying he has no eye for choosing projects (pretty sure read an article saying the same thing somewhere but forgot)  and if this drama flops there is only gonna be more talk in the town.

Most of us really worried about he will be stereotyped! Why BS company not seeing this! Is BS have some others plan? make him a Kpop Idol type! 

Did anyone know which TV Channel taking this project?

He might have been forgotten! He said no more Romcom after IANAR too! 

Maybe BS thinks this project is good than his previous ones? Not sure but I think it also depends on what the actor chooses and not chooses to do. If Yoo Seung ho wants to do romcoms only then I am not sure BS can do much about it. I dont know which channel its going to be aired. Tbh I was so disappointed that I didnt even bother to dig in more about the show. Still recovering from the shock of him considering third romcom in a row lol.

Sorry that's a NO for me. Even his japanese fans are worried.

Just seeing Ruler's name attached makes me facepalm. I don't know what  Ms. koala meant by production team : PD or production company ? 

Reading the detailed plot doesnt give me some hope, I got a few things right : plain Jane poor employee vs. Beautiful superstar.  

It's a very shallow drama that focuses heavily on the beauty and the wealth. 

 

 

Agree. Ruler's name attached to it doesnt helps soar my spirits either and I am starting to get worried about his career too. He'd be stereotyped as a mushy sweet romantic cute guy only. As for what you said , shallow or not it sounds right and soooooo OTT cliched.

Yeah.. I didnt like his death. There wasn't a need for his death at all. It was unnecessary.

 

I'm still waiting for a different news.. 

 

Yes exactly thats what, it was so unnecessary, meaningless and contradictory to the whole build up of there is no such thing as fate   Sigh.

Anyways yes same here still hoping for some different news but almost sure the leaked news is confirmed otherwise it wouldnt have been leaked in the first place + soompi is pretty much an authentic site I guess but I dunno...  I'm not hoping too high for something different but lets see, hope he changes his decision.

Yes, BS should advice him for a better choice! why 3 Romcom in a row!! think about it!! why YSH said he is too young to play a doctor! why!! He don't want something too serious? so he go for another Romcom! hope this is a fake news!

 

I hope its fake too. I dont know about others but  I have rarely seen leaked news like these to be fake. They only get leaked when its almost confirmed I might be wrong though...

 Yes its obvious that he doesnt wants to do anything too serious but I had hoped that he would find  some middle ground and  would do something which is neither too serious nor too light, a combination of both maybe ? (Personally I'd love to see him in an action thriller, something with adrenaline rush or a fantasy show even)  but he seems to be interested in romcoms.only

Hey.. you love my all time favourite character.

 @WoozyPrincess Hi..really? Yes I did (still do) loved Yeo Woon's character to bits! He is my all time favourite too (hence my username lol) but yeah I did wished  (*tentative* you might disagree with me on this, I've had far too many disagreements over his death outside this forum but never mind) he hadnt died like that. I'd never want such a sad ending for any other Yoo Seung Ho's character. Ever.

I looked for the writer's credits, not a rookie but it doesn't sound good. I wonder why would a top actress choose to work with a writer that doesn't have any notable work ? 

Btw Yoo Seung Ho fan discussion's admin is korean drama portal's admin and korean portal drama often posts fake news, hence I avoid posting anything coming from that media. 

 

We're not the only ones disappointed, his korean fans on DC ( korean forum) are not happy either. They are asking him to reject the offer. 

 

Lastly I read from korean fans that the production company is the same that produced Ruler .

 

Tbh I wont deny that I am not happy either. No big star will choose to work with a team having no notable works. Everyone wants the best for their career afterall (well mostly). I really dont wanna sound gloomy here but if what you have written above is true then I dunno the future of this drama looks bleak

I want to see him in several roles but suited for his age such as

1) troubled young man (Uni or a couple of years out of school) - could be a biker, a gangster, a rebel chaebol -

2) Arrogant chaebol maneuvring the cut throat biz world

3) A detective/spy ala mission impossible/Bourne

4) A soldier

 

BAsically all those manly hawt roles

 

The genre can be thriller, crime, romance, angst .. just not romcom

All your options are nice and yes I second you on this. Any genre but just not romcom. He has already done two in a row. He got the change he wanted. I really wanted him to experiment, to try something else, something new now. Tbh I wouldnt mind seeing him as a vampire even lol.

[Yoo Seung Ho 유승호 ユ・スンホ 俞 承 豪]

OMG I JUST got the news that Yoo Seung Ho is considering third rom com in a row???!!!  I wasnt even able to sit through the whole of  My Strange Hero. I got nothing against him wanting to play lighter roles than his past but honestly I'd love to see him try different genres . He is a very talented actor, he can do wonders with good script. I hope he gives this a pass but chances dont look so high. I wonder if we will ever get to see him in a good drama? Is it too much to ask for?  I'd love to see him grow more as an actor, try out different genres action, thriller, suspense, fiction etc etc  As a fan I do want a good drama, fame and success for him. Sigh I wish him luck though.

I also have never felt any acting hole in his acting, he is really a natural. Maybe this is the reason he is often mentioned as one of the actors they'd like to wrok with by noonas.  with other yoopies we had fun establishing  here the list of noonas who are smiten by him.  There is a queue of like 10 people 

Not only smitten, we have a long list of noonas who have worked opposite him as his onscreen love interests. Its a relief that he kind of blurs the heroines whenever he comes onscreen otherwise the pairings would have looked really really weird.

You missed it out !  She is indeed the reason LS's dad died. When LS's dad stole the water, he got caught by the guard working at the Police Bureau and promised him he will pay the money the next day. The guard let it slide but Hwa Gun barged into the Police Bureau and ordered to track down the man  who stole the water is and catch him, otherwise she would tell her grandfather about the theft. This is how his father got arrested, due to Hwa Gun's order. What she wanted was to localize the crown prince because she knew the crown prince was with Lee Sun Commner, his dad etc, however she didn't care if he was going to die ( she had selfish motives). After the arrest, LS's dad got killed by PS group.  She is also the indirect reason of Ga Eun's dad death :  since LS' s dad was about to die at the mercy of PS group, Ga Eun's dad got involved and wanted to help Ls's dad. 

 

The act can be categorized as recklessness ( she probably didn't realize the seriousness of the situation and didn't see the bigger picture) but as long as she did not order the guy to be killed or killed him with her own hands she can't be exactly categorized as a murderer. Ordering arrest and killing are two very different things. The guy was responsible for his own death. Even though the reason of stealing water was justified. He fully knew what he was getting himself involved in. Daemok's underlings never let anyone slide. Even after she became the head of the group, its reins were being pulled by Daemok only. So it could be called as the PS group or Daemok's kill not hers.

I am not sure that Hwa Gun cared more about her personal feelings than her people like the crown prince did. Both were willing to die for their loved one and sacrifice themselves, however Hwa Gun didn't care for one moment about the people. There is one scene that differentiates really well Hwa Gun and Lee Sun in this aspect. It is the scene where  the Crown Prince infiltrates the poppy field and  the poison factory. He gets shocked by the cruelty of PS group which employs young girls to make the poison and throws them out once they have died by the poison. While both HG and LS want to destroy PS group, LS thinks about the young girls and says to her he will save them. All this while, HG knew PS group was using young girls for producing poison but  she didn't care about their fate. . At that moment, she realized , I think, she never cared for them and that didn't ever cross her mind about saving them.  I reckon if she was allowed to live she could have seen a broader aspect of life, especially with this scene that predicts a development of her character. 

 

Nobody was allowed in that field by Daemok. Not even Hwa Gun. She wasn't shown to have the knowledge right from the beginning and deliberately being indifferent to it.The only time she went to that field was to save LS that too secretly. She risked her life by setting her foot there.  She did die while saving LS , the girls and destroying the poppy field. I'd say her character wasn't fully developed. They needed the female lead to shine so deliberately left her character half baked. Like you said her character would have had development if she was allowed to live. However I don't see her as an outright cold hearted selfish villainess .

To be honest Ruler was my first experience to see that kind of conspiracy among fans. I would say it is also one of the reasons Ruler left a bitter taste in my mouth and spoiled a bit my k-drama experience. I understand fan's feelings and disappointment but it is very not proper to malign a k-drama character for the reason your favourite is facing critics because of her character on one hand and another actress got a meatier/ more dynamic and interesting character on the other hand. The " conspiracy" reached a point where MBC got scared by the fandom and disabled the comments section in their instagram account when they posted stills of Hwa Gun ( under every post of Hwa Gun there were hateful comments). 

 A while ago, Remember's writer did a in interview and said he felt blessed for working with excellent actors, he named Song Kang Ho ( with whom he worked on Attorney, Lee Jung Ki ( with whom he worked on Lawless lawyer) and Yoo Seung Ho. It made me happy as fan to see his name alongside LJK and SKH

 

link : https://m.entertain.naver.com/read?oid=213&aid=0001048179

 

he said this : "I' m very lucky to work with Song Kang-ho, Yoo Seung-ho and Lee Jun-ki. Really."

 

Yes I saw it too and couldn't have been more happier. He isn't less than any other actor.He is a complete package.Just  a bit of luck and he'll be in the league of those actors as well.

 I wanted to talk about the sentence highlighted above but I didn't want to sound like a petty/ jealous fan  in my previous post .  So I gave up. Lol  Dont do.You can let it all out if you still want to    This proves acting skills # popularity. I agree with you on this. Some actors on the list have not the acting skills required to back up  their popularity.  As an actor, you can in lightning speed be the #1 but fall hard shortly after. What matters the most is having decent acting skills to stay on top the longest possible and sustain an extended acting career, with fresh and new faces taking the #1 spot. As much as I want YSH to reach the number one spot, I rather he becomes a critically acclaimed actor. And the popularity would be a stepping stone for him to get the best dishes, the best script offers. I don't want  him to be second or third choice of script writers or directors anymore , and in result his talents being wasted in productions like Ruler or I am not a Robot or flames of desire. 

 

Yeah same here. I want popularity and critical acclamation both for him but yeah I definitely don't want to see his talent being wasted. Flames of Desire wasn't focused on him, he was a second lead there so I'd let it go but ruler and I am not a Robot? not so much. The mediocre scripts like those deserved an average actor not him. Even I want him to be the first choice of directors and script writers and that too good ones. Its beyond me that why the makers aren't utilizing his acting talents and settle for pretty average actors for good projects. They have a gem in their industry and its sad to see them not utilizing it fully.

New updates : 

 

 

 

So our Yoo has become a part-time pro drifter and doing competitions . He is very skilled for a noob, he started drifting one year ago.  I hope to see him in a project about car racing  

 

He must have been practicing really hard for the past year. Maybe now we know what he does when he isn't acting ? lol.  Car racing or not I just want to see him in a good show soon because the top people are not in town. Its a golden opportunity for him. Lets see if his luck decides to finally work the odds in his favour.
