I think he is a great actor but I honestly didn't think the story of Adamas was very good so I hope the story for Connection is much better. He deserves to be in a drama with good script. @sunny88 I do agree with you although, the drama was intelligently written, with well rendered characters and a complex crime thriller plot so, it's engaging. "Adamas" isn't for everyone. The show had a very promising start and suddenly started to drag making it a hard watch. And the ending.....ahhh.... forget about being satisfied. The ending of a drama makes or breaks the whole drama story and "Adamas" didn't escape this trend. The ending didn’t match up to the expectation for a series that was crafted so well. The finale leaves a lot of stones not turned as it finishes open-ended. "ADAMAS" is like an intriguing book which is missing a few pages from the last chapter. It leaves the viewer feeling that the story was left incomplete. But, Jisung has done a great job acting these two roles. The last episodes had lots of scenes that the twins were together, so, it must've been so hard for him to play both roles at the same time but he did that perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willenette Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Top Korean Dramas and Movies with Gambling Themes Gambling and risk-taking make frequent appearances across beloved Korean television shows and films reflecting cultural enthusiasm towards wagering entertainment observed locally and abroad among Korean diasporas. Beyond obvious examples situated inside casinos or centered around professional players, creative screenwriters interweave gaming subplots subtly through chance encounters, romantic connections and comedic moments bringing lighthearted facets to audiences through pop culture's lens. Let's explore some top Korean dramas and movies creatively incorporating gambling and luck themes into storylines through the years. "All In" (2003) As a child, Kim In Ha could only watch as his uncle swindled people through gambling. Once grown, Kim's innate skills give him the chance to enter the dangerous world of underground gambling himself. Though facing high risks, Kim is determined to raise enough money to reunite with his first love. All In humanizes gamblers in a nuanced character study coated with drama and romance. While light on action, critics commend the film's stellar cast and emphasis on emotional connection over gambling stereotypes. source : Hancinema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willenette Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Ji Sung, Jeon Mi Do, And More Impress At Script Reading For Upcoming Drama "Connection" SBS’s upcoming drama “Connection” has shared photos from its script reading! “Connection” is a new crime thriller starring Ji Sung as Jang Jae Kyung, a well-respected detective who is the ace of the narcotics unit. Jeon Mi Do will star as Oh Yoon Jin, an opinionated and outspoken reporter who works at a newspaper. The drama is a collaboration between director Lee Tae Gon and writer Lee Hyun, who previously worked together for JTBC’s “Diary of a Prosecutor.” Ji Sung plays detective Jang Jae Kyung, the leader of the narcotics team at Anhyun Police Station, who is respected by his juniors and trusted by his seniors within the police force. Ji Sung exuded a charismatic aura in scenes where his character dealt with criminals, but in scenes depicting drug addiction, he delivered a chilling performance by depicting complex emotions and erratic breathing. Jeon Mi Do displayed strong presence while in character as Oh Yoon Jin, a reporter in the social affairs department of Anhyun Economic Daily. During the script reading, Ji Sung and Jeon Mi Do created an exciting atmosphere with their performances, raising anticipation for their acting chemistry. Spoiler Meanwhile, Kwon Yool perfectly portrayed the character of prosecutor Park Tae Jin, who is known as the brain among his friends, with his glasses and cold tone of voice. Kim Kyung Nam exuded a powerful aura through his portrayal of villain Won Jong Soo, the vice chairman of Geum Hyun Group, who has both money and power. Finally, Jung Soon Won delivered a hilarious performance as Heo Joo Song, the cheerful and friendly CEO of Two Star Holdings. The production team of “Connection” commented, ”’Connection’ is a well-made drama that has artistic quality, timeliness, and a strong message. During the script reading, we became convinced that ‘Connection’ has the potential to follow the success formula of SBS’s Friday-Saturday dramas. We ask that you cheer us on until our upcoming premiere date.” “Connection” will premiere on SBS in May. credit : soompi news 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
