    If this was taken by tvN, I might be more positive. They are the channel to go to when it comes to the dark and thrills. The experience is totally different with KBS and the likes. Think Blood, Dr Stranger....

    I really cannot see Joo Won taking this because he said he wanted to play an ordinary person and this character sounds anything but ordinary. Plus, he will be playing a doctor again. That comment on DB though had me laughing...yeah, at this rate, he would be doing a real surgery.

    In any case, it's just speculating for fun. Whatever and however it may look, I would say the most important factor is writing. 

     

    Me too dont think JW will take up another medical drama or rather a doctor role again so soon. I'm just wondering if he may choose to consider a weekend family drama since he mentioned about wanting to do one for his granny and as you mentioned he wants to act in a role of an ordinary person.

    I know some of us here do not think positively of KBS dramas esp with the ones in the past 1-2 years. However of all of JW's dramas, the ones that I really love are the KBS ones.

    Even though his latest SBS's project Yongpal was a great success in terms of ratings, the character Kim Tae-Hyun did not really leave a lasting impression or fondness for me as compared to those in the KBS ones... Lee Kang-To in BM and Park Shi-On in GD have enabled me to introduce JW's acting to ppl I know and to tell them proudly how good he was in these dramas... and Hwang Tae-Hee in OB and Cha Yoo-Jin in NC are my most favourite ones as I always feel the same fondness that I had felt when I first watched the 2 dramas as whenever I am reminded of them when I see pics or vids from the dramas now.

    Maybe its a personal preference, I have always been partial to KBS dramas except for a few. The other broadcaster whose dramas that can hold my interest is tvN. I do hope JW has been given some of their interesting projects to consider.

    Wwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy???????? My Kangto-Shunji reunion hopes dashed :tears::tears::tears::tears::tears: Can we request for Cutie to do a cameo appearance????

    Oh great, now I HAVE to watch Monster. I mean, yay I have to watch Monster? I’m not even sure anymore. (It isn’t that it sounds bad; it’s that this is one of those serious, sprawling 50-episode dramas, and man, those take work.)

    But with Kang Ji-hwan (Incarnation of Money, Big Man) headlining the series and now Park Ki-woong(Gaksitaaaaal) choosing it as his army comeback drama, who am I to fight it? I’ll just block off April through September on my calendar and settle in for the long haul…

    Monster, which comes to us from the writer team (Jang Young-chul, Jung Kyung-soon) who gave usEmpress Ki, Incarnation of Money, and History of a Salaryman, kicks off in the late ’90s after the IMF crisis hits, and follows a man who sets out for revenge against society’s top 0.001%, those privileged movers and shakers with all the power. I’m guessing those are the people responsible for the hero’s early tragedy, which kills both his parents and almost him as well. He comes back with a vengeance, for vengeance, and falls in love along the way. The drama has yet to secure a heroine after initially courting Hwang Jung-eum, who didn’t sign on, but is likely to do so soon. We hope.

    Park Ki-woong, who will be discharged from military service on February 7, will play the youngest son of a chaebol group chairman who turns increasingly wild and violent. He’s gonna be so good at that and it’ll probably break my heart because I love him. Just don’t go full Namgoong Min on me, okay? I’m not sure I’ll be ready for that much affluenza-induced brutality so soon.

    Park’s character is cast aside by his family because he’s born to a concubine (er, I suppose that just means non-wife in this day and age, but chaebol clans do tend to mimic royalty), and he grows up with his mother in America. He comes back and successfully reclaims his position, evicting the opposition that had cut him out, and then transforms into a cold-hearted, dissipated tyrant. Hm, so perhaps he’s the one the former title Tyrantreferred to, though it’s entirely possible that with so many corrupt chaebols running around, it could be any of a number of them.

    Sweet Sixteen? Never mind, I am immune to C dramas/movies names. The English version often has little or no resemblance to the Chinese name but thankfully it is no indication of quality. I have virtually no expectations about this movie but at least he looks good in it, ha. 

    C showbiz generates tons of dramas, movies and variety shows so you can imagine how huge the range of quality is. C projects may be good for experience, exposure in growing market etc but in my opinion, the really good ones won't be offered to a foreign actor. Joo Won should be finishing Love Express soon, I hope he returns to Korea and we get some good news. Truth be told, none of the line ups sound exciting. At the moment, I am watching 2 cable k dramas and C drama, Nirvana In Fire. The latter is a total surprise. I have heard of the hype and to someone who didn't watch a single C drama save for BBJX, I can see why it's garnered rave reviews. I am only at episode 8 and thus far, it's really well written. So different from the typical revenge kdramas which depend on melodrama and have plots with holes so big, you can drive a truck through. For every good drama like this one, I am sure there's plenty of dumb C dramas. It's just that I would like to see more clever, well written and well produced k dramas. 

     

    I agree with mrdimples on NIF. I normally avoid C dramas and never watch a period one in the recent 10 years except for The Legends of the Condor Heroes (2008) in which the lead actor Hu Ge (胡歌) is the lead in NIF. He is the reason I got interested in NIF and started to watch it and got hooked. NIF is a really good drama not only for its contents but also for the cinematography and the set and costumes the cast worn are amazing. Even though its more than 50 eps long, time spent on watching is worthwhile.

    Finally, this woke me up from my stupor. 

    No, no, no....those going to Thailand, you gotta sniff out the real JW smell. I hope whatever perfume he wears will be gone when you gals get to take a selfie or get close to him. 

    It's probably a good thing that I am not going, I will be the first fan whose face won't be turned towards the camera for a selfie. It would be buried between his chest or underarm. 

     

    If I could go to any of his fan meetings, my wish is to be able to see cutie with my own eyes and not through someone else's camera or mobilephone screen like what happened when I went to that Yongpal fanmeet last year.

    If theres anyone who is going from Singapore to the fan meeting in Thailand and can help me get one of his table calendar, I will be most grateful :)

    Was his fans the ones making a fuss? 

    I wasn't sure if he was annoyed at all his antis(who go on JW DC as well) or at his fans. Or he could just be annoyed by the situation? 

    On the surface, this whole fiasco is quite dumb. Joo Won can't be the only one who turned down offers. Imagine if he had to take anything and everything that comes to him? It is not uncommon to read news of actors turning down roles. 

    The devil lies in the timing. Often news of an actor turning down roles come before the role is finally confirmed by someone else. I am not sure if this news appear before or after the respective actors who were offered/confirmed for Monster and Daebak came out. 

    It could certainly be antis raring to go after him with anything they can sniff out or a misstep either by the media(unintentional or intentional) or his agency(unintentional)

     

    Maybe JW doesnt wish to see any of his fans getting involved in the whole mess stirred up by those antis

    Sometimes, I feel that some of the Korean fandoms are too quick to react and they point fingers at the most obvious targets. They assume too much/fast and think they know everything that happen behind the scenes. Things might not be as complicated as they think they see. Why they choose to believe what they wanted to instead of what Joo Won said? During his speech when he received his Daesang award, JW has again reminded us that whatever his fans say will affect him - good things said makes him happy and thrive while bad/nasty remarks will upset him. We have also just read in his Céci interview that he trust his agency totally and whatever the job is, he and his agency can communicate comfortably. He has said that he hopes this will not change. Even if these may be just the politically correct things to say in an interview, but we all know that JW will not say something he does not believe in. I rather believe in JW than in the speculations by 3rd parties. Who knows if those news about him turning down offers are not leaked out by the staff/crew of the broadcasters or production companies thru' grapevines and then the reporters got to hear them.

    This is just me thinking out loud. And now I can sorta understand why JW posted that pic and those emoticons on his IG. "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" - his reminder to his fans, I think.

    Just saw this on IG. News about cutie turned down MBC's Monster (which has since taken by Kang Ji Hwan, also from SimEnt) and another SBS drama which Im not sure what is the title in English... is it "Daebak"?

     

     

    Does this mean he may return to dramaland in another KBS drama? I just checked on http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Upcoming_KDrama the only drama is still pending casting and is scheduled for Apr telecast is KBS' "God of Noodles"... I rem that manga pic of this drama that I saw in Dramabeans... my imagination is starting to run amok... Lollll :w00t: :D :phew:

    Hey! Go to Ryu Jun Yeol's thread on soompi. The girls there are very up to date on the YOF. It's to be aired in mid Feb.

      Reveal hidden contents

     

     

    Yeah I miss him being himself too. Thats why I think those 2 years on 1n2d are gold. We'll probably never going to see him on a variety show like that anymore because he's also a bit wary of variety after his 1n2d stint. Yaaas, Joowon shoulda totally be kidnapped this time to Iceland. Aren't those his Altarboyz buddies? Minus R94 Jung Woo, of course.

     

     

    It would have been a "Spring Awakening" reunion with JJS and KHN, not "Altarboyz".
