Yes please give it a try. He's innocent and awkward in the beginning, which makes him look adorable, but has been transforming along the way. The other members are adorable too.
@petra, Do you happen to know from which episode he came on?

@Niel2804Interesting. Of course, our dear Triplem who started this thread is on Twitter.
I think that as Seo Dal-Mi is remembering his handwriting, she cannot help but also come to the conclusion he chose not to pursue her, and brought Nam Do-San aboard. I think she may feel betrayed by both of them.

Kim Seon Ho Talks About How Popular He Was As A Theater Actor On “2 Days & 1 Night”
On the November 8 episode of KBS’s “2 Days & 1 Night Season 4,” the production staff prepared a montage of past photos of each cast member.
In his montage, Kim Seon Ho revisited the past highlights of his acting career. Moon Se Yoon commented, “I didn’t really know who Kim Seon Ho was when we first met, but now that I see this, he seems like someone who has been slowly but steadily building up recognition.”
Spoiler
Kim Seon Ho was asked about his popularity during his time as a theater actor. Although he tried to play it off modestly at first, Moon Se Yoon said, “I heard you sold out all the seats. There’s no need to be humble, so just tell us what happened.”
Kim Seon Ho then said that he had been like an “idol” in the theater world, with so many audience members lining up at the entrance that the queue went into the street. He said, “It was to the extent that the cars couldn’t pass.”
Kim Seon Ho also talked about becoming recognized as a TV actor. After looking at a photo of him in the short-form drama “You Drive Me Crazy,” DinDin said, “I heard that you went viral through a kiss scene here.” Kim Seon Ho boasted, “The kiss scene got over 10 million views on YouTube.”
Spoiler
Meanwhile, earlier this week, Kim Seon Ho’s agency confirmed that he will be acting in a play for the first time in a year. He will be starring in the play “Ice” (literal translation), which is set to begin performances in January 2021. It is a two-person play about two detectives who are trying to pin the blame for a cruel murder case on an 18-year-old boy.

Oh, this play sounds so interesting! Right?-

@luffie, me too. But at the same time, I want him to choose wisely.
I am sort of lukewarm about this scriptwriter.
I loved Protect the Boss, but none of her other Drama.
13 hours ago, Niel2804 said:i think i like his character as Ko Ji Seok in Catch the Ghost more than Han Ji Pyeong in Start Up
@Niel2804, interesting... I like them both, but I agree that at this point in "Start Up" they have not made his character very likeable. I hope that would change.
13 hours ago, Niel2804 said:i wonder who is the female lead XD, i wish i were her hahahaha
haha.. Don't we all.. No news of the female lead yet. I hope she is a good actress.
7 hours ago, petra said:haven't watched 2 latest episodes yet, it is safe for my weak heart ? i am rooting to Han Ji Pyeong too deep and it's only 6 episode i have watched
@petraI am hoping we will have a nice surprise next week. Crossing my fingers.
7 hours ago, petra said:I also saw from some fan accounts that he sets to play in theater from January - March 2021. Wow he'll be so busy. I hope he won't overwork himself and, most importantly, won't leave 2 Days 1 Night anytime soon. It's from this show I was first drawn to him. It's nice to see the real him through the show.
@petra, he seems to always be busy...!
I have never watched 2 Days 1 Night (or any other reality show. But with your recommendation, I'll give it a try. You got me curious
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please pass this onK-drama Start-Up has eight episodes in, and its love triangle is getting more and more exciting with every scene. Figuring in this love triangle are Bae Suzy as aspiring CEO Seo Dal-mi, Nam Joo-hyuk as Samsan Tech co-founder Nam Do-san, and Kim Seon-ho as venture capitalist Han Ji-pyeong. The three find themselves working together on a start-up company in Sandbox, with Seo Dal-mi and Nam Do-san as teammates and Han Ji-pyeong serving as their mentor.
Just a few episodes into this trending tvN series, viewers have been divided between teams Nam Do-san and Han Ji-pyeong, as both characters are conceptualized with likable personalities from the get-go and the character development for each is proving to be more and more compelling. Now halfway into Start-Up, viewers are still torn between the two guys, with Han Ji-pyeong giving many that second lead syndrome.
What are the things that give Nam Do-san and Han Ji-pyeong pogi points? What make them look cool, adorable, and crush-worthy? Who do you think suits Seo Dal-mi better?

@irilightteam Han Ji-Pyeong here... Knowing that he won’t be with Dal Mi makes me a tad reluctant to continue with the show. I can’t find many dramas with Kim Seon Ho yet! Let’s root for our Kim Seon Ho to be the main lead soon!! Fighting!
@luffie tean Ji-Pyeng for sure... Who knows.. The writer may surprise us... Now that she realizes it is his handwriting, lots can happen.
22 hours ago, Niel2804 said:Team Han Ji Pyeong here ! i stopped watching at ep 6, i can't handle the heart break, my poor heart.
I watch his other dramas instead, You Drive Me Crazy and Catch the Ghost are my favorite.
Hopefully i can continue Start Up soon...
@Niel2804, of course, Team Han Ji-Pyeong here... I am still hopeful. As I wrote above, now that she noticed it was his handwriting on the letters.... who knows where that would lead us...
I loved "You Drive Me crazy" to pieces.... And I liked "Catch the Ghost" very much...
We may be up for a new treat, as Kim Seon Ho is in talks for a new Drama.

Kim Seon Ho In Talks To Lead New Drama By “Suspicious Partner” Writer
Kim Seon Ho is working on selecting his next drama!On November 10, an industry representative reported that the actor will be starring in the upcoming tvN drama “Link” (working title).
In response to the report, his agency SALT Entertainment commented, “Kim Seon Ho received an offer to star in the tvN’s new drama ‘Link.’ We feel cautious about giving an exact statement at the moment as Kim Seon Ho is still filming ‘Start-Up,’ but he will thoroughly review the script.”
“Link” is a fantasy romance and mystery drama about a chef Eun Gye Hoon, the role Kim Seon Ho has been offered, who sets up a restaurant in the town where his twin sister went missing 20 years ago. He finds himself randomly experiencing emotions one day, spontaneously crying and laughing, and it turns out that they are the emotions of a woman named Noh Da Hyun.
The drama will be written by Kwon Ki Young, who previously created “I Remember You” and “Suspicious Partner,” and directed by Noh Sang Hoon, who also worked on “I Remember You.” It is scheduled to air via tvN in the first half of 2021.

@luffie, me too......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Fun Facts About "Mr. Dimple" Kim Seon-Ho To Make You Smile
So, is his "Start-Up" character Han Ji-pyeong giving you second lead syndrome yet?
Korean actor Kim Seon-ho has been on K-drama fans' radar these days with his role as senior investment manager Han Ji-pyeong in ongoing series Start-Up. With his believable portrayal, he makes his character so likable, giving viewers some serious second lead syndrome as they're torn between Han Ji-pyeong and math genius/tech company founder Nam Do-san (played by Nam Joo-hyuk). The woman who figures in this love triangle is aspiring CEO Seo Dal-mi (played by Bae Suzy).
In this heartwarming, inspiring K-drama, Kim Seon-ho breathes life into the character of Han Ji-pyeong, an orphan who's street-smart and has top-notch investment skills and who eventually becomes successful with his job at a venture capital company.
Back when he was a teen, he met a grandmother (Choi Won-deok, played by Kim Hae-sook) who helped him out and gave him food and shelter when he needed them most. Choi Won-deok has a granddaughter, Seo Dal-mi, who has family issues and zero friends; to help cheer her up, this halmeoni (grandmother) asked for Han Ji-pyeong's help by making him her granddaughter's pen pal under the name Nam Do-san. Despite not meeting each other in person, Seo Dal-mi felt like she found a friend in Han Ji-pyeong and his letters have constantly comforted her even long after they stopped writing to each other.
Years later, Han Ji-pyeong and Seo Dal-mi finally meet. The catch is, he gets into a deal with the real Nam Do-san and asks him to pretend to be her pen pal. The fates of these three characters become intertwined as they find themselves in Sandbox, which is like South Korea's version of Silicon Valley, a company that helps start-up companies.
With five episodes so far, it seems both Han Ji-pyeong and Nam Do-san are starting to fall for Seo Dal-mi, thus begging the question: Are you team Han Ji-pyeong or Nam Do-san? While Nam Do-san sure is handsome, charming, and techie, some viewers are also loving Han Ji-pyeong's confidence, sharpness, intuitiveness, and bad guy aura (well, minus points for his white lies).
There's no denying that part of the reason why Han Ji-pyeong is getting nods from fans of Start-Up is that actor Kim Seon-ho is doing a great job with his role.
If you're team Han Ji-pyeong, check out the gallery below to get to know Kim Seon-ho better:

I forgot my PASSWORD!
Why so many changes in this forum???
I won't share news about start-up this time.. instead, I'll share about 2020 AAA awards! He'll attend the award ceremony which will be held on November 25th. If the decision for the winner is based on people's vote, I'm pessimistic he'll get the award.
oh, so nice to see you back, @ixxdhx81. i was wondering where you were....
I know.. too many changes here on Soompi Forums.
I should hope it is a good omen if he is attending the awards. Don't they usually hear if they are getting an award, and decide to attend based on that? God Knows, he deseres the award!
On 10/18/2020 at 4:58 AM, petra said:The highlight for me from episode 1 was Han Ji Pyeong and Soe Dal Mi's grandmother's back story. It's so sweet, touching, and heartwarming. I'm just afraid that all signs lead to Ji Pyeong as a second lead now
. I hope the writer will surprise us by developing something else for his character.
@petra, I am loving this Drama to pieces. I hope/pray that he'll get the girl in the end.... After all, it was he she was corresponding with all those years.

@larus, thank you for starting the thread.
Waives also to @jongski @Jillia, @rocher22
I am here for the cast. I loved Kim Sa-Rang in "My Love Eun Dong."
I liked Yoon Hyun-Min mostly in "Tunnel" and "Witch at Court."
On 11/3/2020 at 1:49 AM, jongski said:I like revenge drama when it's done right and with stellar acting.. not over the top but just right... something like Money Flower.
@jongski, I am with you on that. "Money Flower" was one terrific Drama.
I like the fact that most Korean Revenge Drama usually show us the futility of revenge.
The first time it hit me was in Park Chan-Wook's movie "OldBoy" when Yoo Ji-Tae's character finally realizes how stupid and wasteful it was.
I think in KDrama I first saw it in Kim Nam-Gil's "Bad Guy."

Namgoong Min Transforms Into Charismatic Detective In New Drama “Awaken”The upcoming tvN drama “Awaken” has released new stills of Namgoong Min!
“Awaken” is a new murder mystery drama that follows the connections between mysterious events unfolding in the present and the secrets behind an enigmatic incident that took place in a village 28 years ago.
Namgoong Min will be starring in the drama as Do Jung Woo, the eccentric but brilliant team leader of a special task force at the National Police Agency. The actor previously described his character as “an oddball on the surface who is serious when it comes to solving cases but harbors a mysterious secret.”
In the new stills, Namgoong Min gets into character as the peculiar and charismatic Do Jung Woo. The actor made a 180-degree transformation with his new role, and his bizarre hairstyle is especially eye-catching. His rugged image is further enhanced by his shaggy beard, leather jacket, and sly eyes. He calmly sucks on a lollipop as he faces trouble, but when it’s time for him to make the calls, his gaze turns serious and sharp.
The production team of “Awaken” praised the actor, saying, “The more we film with Namgoong Min, the more we realize why he’s such a known actor. He is completely absorbed into his character as Do Jung Woo. He never fails to surprise the crew with his perfect portrayal of Do Jung Woo’s sly appearance but mysterious personality. The viewers will also be in awe of his new transformation in this drama. Please look forward to Namgoong Min’s passionate performance.”
“Awaken” will premiere on November 30 at 9 p.m. KST. Check out the latest teasers here!

Seolhyun plays Gong Hye Won, a passionate police officer. She said, “Gong Hye Won is bright, cheerful, and isn’t afraid to test her strength. I went to action school in order to prepare for her stunt scenes. She’s such a bright, unpredictable character that I also worked to raise the tone of my voice.”
Lee Chung Ah plays Jamie, an FBI detective who returns to the land of her birth after being adopted as a child. She said, “I’m currently struggling to learn a foreign language. My character has to be more comfortable with speaking English.”

@irilight, yes & I'm happy that we could get to see him again soon in our small screen. Here's the teasers of the drama. I'm smiling watching them. KSW is enough to get me on-board. This is worth a watch. "Fly From Rags To Riches" kicks off on October 30.
@willenette, for me too. I like the synopsis of the Drama too. And just listening to his soft voice in the teasers your provided gets me all excited for this Drama.
BTW, I have never seen "Winter Sonata" (It was on my DramaFever watch-list, when DramaFever closed down.)
I read that in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of "Winter Sonata" they are planning "Winter Sonata 2" for 2021, but cast is yet unconfirmed. I hope that the site that brings it to us will also bring Season 1, and I can watch both.-

I think Shin Eun kyung will have a funny role this time, a different role from her "The Last Empress" role. I am interested to see how she will handle the double life in Penthouse.
Interesting.
I think my favorite roles for her, from what I have seen were in "Your Neighbor's Wife" and in "Scandal:A Shocking and Wrongful Incident." For a rom-com - in "Bad Couple."
Thank you for all the updates. I love the teaser and the newly revealed photos.-

Kim Seon Ho revealed his reason for choosing to star in the drama.

Above all, I really liked the description of Han Ji Pyung.” He added, “Furthermore, I was glad to be given the opportunity to work with director Oh Choong Hwan and scriptwriter Park Hye Ryun.”
The actor continued to share his process of preparing for the drama.
