  1. I think there’s not a single person who likes casting of older Na Heedo. I still don’t understand why they couldn’t age Taeri up. The possibilities with makeup to make someone look older are quite vast. Especially when they kept the actress playing her mum in the present timeline.

    Couldn’t they at least find an actress who resembles Taeri? There’s just not a single similar trait - the way she moves, the way she talks…. It’s truly like watching a different person.

     

    There’s this bitter taste in my mouth after adult Heedo said she didn’t remember a beach trip. If she went to tens of similar trips it’d be more understandable that she forgot. But she only went once and she didn’t remember it? What the heck?

     

    If this drama’s message is that nothing lasts forever, then they shouldn’t have made us root for Yijin in the first place. They shouldn’t have made us see his story and root for him to succeed and find his happiness. I want to know how his story ends. I’m not interested in some random dude with a surname Kim who will end up with Heedo.

     

    This is as equally Yijin’s story as it’s Heedo’s.

    It has come to the staff's attention the following rules have been breached consistently despite the moderators edits :

     

    - No quoting of pics/gifs/videos 

    - No posting of unrelated/off-topic content. This is an actor thread where fans of Kim Jung Hyun should only post content related to the said actor. Anything else is considered off-topic and has been deleted.

    - No posting of more than 3 images/videos/gifs. The rest should be hidden under the spoiler tag. 

     

     

    Please heed the above-mentioned rules, the staff will take further actions if violations persist.

    I forgot to put more than 3 pictures under a spoiler tags just once, no more than once. And we discussed Mr Queen commentary and posted translated parts of it here. Can you tell me how is it off topic?

    Wohoo! :hooray2: at this point, I think, it's safe to assume everyone loves Mr. Queen (despite the ending) :joy:

    yeah - it's quite rare to be as gifted as KJH and his journey and choices are quite interesting and speak a lot about him. I like Gong Yoo too (but I rarely follow actors) - what I admire about both KJH and SHS is their journey from non-lead actors to establishing themselves as acting legends. (though they still have a very long career ahead) and how down-to-earth both of them are. 

     


    Yeah, reading their interviews makes me incredibly proud. They came from nothing, they weren’t scouted by any agency or became overnight stars. Reading how they both had hang posters of their projects by themselves makes me sad by also proud because of their incredible journey. 
     

    Shin Hye Sun started as an extra and evil second leads until her talent couldn’t be ignored any longer. She’s such an acting powerhouse and if she won’t be nominated for her role in Mr Queen, then I don’t know anymore.

     

    Jung Hyun debuted late - he did mostly indie projects before being cast in Jealousy Incarnate. Playing a high-schooler at 27 wasn’t probably what he wished for but it helped him to climb to where he’s now. Not to mention he was on a 17-month long hiatus. What happened to him in Time could’ve destroyed an actor’s career but he picked himself from the ground and returned to his fans stronger than ever.
     

    Did you guys know JH didn’t even audition for CLOY? CLOY director reached to him personally and convinced him to join his project with A-list actors and the superstar writer. How much he must’ve been impressed by JH‘s acting to offer him a role that others would kill for? CLOY boosted his confidence and career and for that I’ll be forever grateful to CLOY director. Hope they can work together in the future again!

     

    Though I mostly blabber about his looks and hotness, it was his talent and acting that attracted me in the first place. And since he opened up to his fans through IG Live I came to appreciate his personality and sexy brain as well. The fact that Mr Queen writer acknowledged that one of scenes was all JH’s idea and that he wrote that monologue on the spot just makes me admire him even more.

    Awww, I usually get short bursts when I go crazy and do research on actors who catch my interest but then I move on, but I really like both KJH and SHS - haven't had such "sustained" interest in a very long time - and this thread is flexible - like an after-work hangout spot :joy: 

    @aisling I hope the commentary is uploaded on the usual kdrama websites for international audience - I'm sure clips will be released both on twitter and youtube


    Looks like Viu heard our loud prayers :blush: I’m so happy they decided to sub the commentary though it’s not something they do normally, right? They must really love Mr Queen.

     


    I could count it on my one hand how many actors I liked this much like Jung Hyun since I started watching k-dramas. I’m usually more invested in a story itself than actors but there are times when I go crazy like this. The only actor I still like (though not following vigorously) and who my first Korean crush is Gong Yoo.

    Nowadays, you eat drink sleep and breathe KJH...:joy:


    Oh shoot... is it so obvious?  :loolz:

    That’s why I envy people who like actors casually LOL. For someone who’s been watching dramas for so long I actually really liked just a handful of actors. But when I do like them, I’m like So Bong and go all in for them  :blush: I can’t help it LOL.

  6. I was rewatching his IG Live from February 25 and guess this answered my question about his lashes.

    He totally wanted to show off his long eyelashes... why would he lean so close otherwise?  :joy:

     

    So in conclusion - yes, his lashes are this long and thick naturally and he doesn’t wear mascara in his dramas  :doggie: 

     

    And yes, he’s aware of how pretty they are LOL.

  7. Thank god he wasn’t really a teenager here. I feel less like a perv.

    One disadvantage of debuting late - even if you’re over 25 you still have to go through this infantile high school phase. Thank goodness he’s past this phase now, I really don’t like high school dramas. 
     

    I think the person who topped JH in being even an older high-schooler was the second lead in True Beauty- that guy is apparently 30 IRL :joy: Our boy was “only” 27  :sweat_smile:

     

    @backstreetboysfan You liked School 2017? I have to say I’m kinda struggling, I relate more to older characters :grin:

  8. @enzek I’d say it’s Shin Hye Sun’s superior acting because I loved So Bong to death but disliked So Yong’s high pitched voice. I take it as a small mercy that we didn’t see “I love you”, kiss scene or baby birth between SY and CJ. 
     

    I’ve been distracting myself from Mr Queen ending by watching Jung Hyun’s other works. I just love watching him in Time most. Despite the circumstances he gave such an award worthy performance in there. Not to mention he looked exquisitely beautiful in Time. I can’t put my finger on it but I just can’t stop staring at Soo Ho. He looked much more appealing to me in Time than in CLOY. I can’t explain it. Maybe it’s his hairstyle?

  9. @enzek In conclusion JH is crushing on SHS hard :joy: Hope they stay friends and support each other from now on.

     

    I didn’t see this pic before. Is this from Waikiki wrap-up party?

    People are gushing about purple being Jung Hyun’s colour. I have to agree because when he wore that purple robe in Mr Queen my jaw almost hit the ground. :relaxed: He looked spectacular in that one.

  10. I’m so grateful Mr Queen toned down his eye makeup compared to Rebel days. JH doesn’t need those horrible excessive eyeliners to make his eyes striking, stirring and beautiful. Those eyeliners keep distracting me :grimace:

     

    He also changed his eyebrows shape after Rebel. His eyebrows are softer and straighter now. But it must’ve been kinda painful to have all that eyebrow hair plucked. Ouch.

    @cenching He’s definitely a touchy type when he’s comfortable around that person. :joy:
