(Sorry, side track here) : @PrettysupI saw on youtube that WC when he was participating in that prog which GG was in, in 1 of the episodes or same episode, WC ran until 屁股抽筋 and he could hardly stand. Goodness me! Thankfully he is alright. 

 

 

Yeah it was gruelling.

I can’t hear korean words well yet, I need to read. It’s easier for me to read than capture what Koreans say cos they speak too fast haha. I realized JH has a raspy voice. The clarity of his enunciation for me is not as much compared to some others because of his way of speech but most of the time his natural speech is quite slow and calm so it’s ok. 

 

In this teaser he speaks very fast but yet it’s super clear, so that’s good! 

Ahhhh! You're making me feel I'm even a more bad student! Heeheehee....I couldn't read because I cannot remember the alphabets. I could only understand simple words not sentence.

I like the way he speaks. Has a calming effect. Remember I said in many earlier posts about in DB, when he was doing exercise and CTH laughed his lungs out, JH rec'd a phone call. It was in chinese subtitle that I read, he was telling the caller (which I assume is wife since CTH said is a loved one), he said so soothingly 要好好玩,吃多一点 which wasn't reflected in the english subtitle. Don't you just melt hearing his words? Plus the calming soothing tone. I can imagine his soothing tone voice if daughter fell down and he would say "see, ah pa told you not to run right"...that calming tone. Even pain also not pain already. :lol:

Got this from chinese media. (For those who can't read chinese), it introduced his new drama. But it also had to add his military scandal + his marriage. Thankfully this time the media didn't talk about he got a baby first before he held the wedding ceremony. Couldn't it just report his new drama and full stop? @The Reel Lifeyou can read korean right? There's 1 picture there, is it people speculating that his wife looked like the one in the picture?

More parts of interview released today 

I really love how humble and simply he lives for someone who is always in the spotlight. Love how he views his work and maybe that's why he constantly works exceedingly hard , honing his craft because he sees himself as a "freelance", not knowing when he will get the next project. Really loving this guy more.

 

And now we know he is memorising and practising his lines when he is boxing at the gym. Training himself to focuse on the lines in the midst of the noise. No wonder he always seems to be oblivious to people exercising around him, as he is focusing on the task of memorizing his lines. And as a celebrity, he doesn't mind boxing in such a crowded gym( I think he brought in the crowd, a must visit for JH fans).

He always compared himself to office workers and said (office workers) go work everyday right? And he's always been worried about not getting the next project. Always thinking he's a freelance.

His boxing premise is his practice room? What a weird way of memorising lines but I've heard that if you can memorise your lines in a noisy crowded room, you're 1 level up already.

I wonder how many people really exercise. Most might be just there to catch a glimpse of him and "simply" exercise for the sake of exercise. Lol.

Truly a humble and down-to-earth man despite his celebrity status.

I saw this pic long ago in some Naver blogs. They speculate that it's his wife but not sure if it's true.

Not similar to the wedding photo.

Yes the photo is not new as I've seen it before but I couldn't read korean so was wondering if people are speculating that it is his wife's current look.

Actually I think JH fans in Korea are really nice people. Am sure his wife needs to go to the supermarket, needs to pick up the daughter, needs to go parent teacher meeting but nobody leaked photos of her. Such nice people indeed.

Sorry but I don’t see any picture of him with his wife. Is it the link above? The link above is a Chinese article right?

Not a pic of him & his wife. Is just a pic of a woman. You have to open the article. After the pic of the young JH in spike hairstyle, you have to open it. 展开全文。

Oh ok I saw it. Ya the name of the lady in the picture is Kim Yeo Jin. It says something about how she looks in her wedding dress. I don't know if it's really his wife since we don't actually know how she looks like... but, looks quite similar to the pictures with her silhouette, so maybe it is? Wah these chinese tabloids really dig things out.

 

I would have also preferred them just focusing on his career and not having to tie in other news, don't think JH would appreciate that!

Don't know is it or is it not but these tabloids are really scary to be able to dig things out. One of my fav male singer, a very popular taiwanese singer then (who has now quit the entertainment industry) said that the tabloids of yester years only report on your work. But the tabloids of recent years are more interested in finding out about your personal life esp "whose your wife" "whose your girlfriend" more than reporting on your career.

 

Yes, got me annoyed when I read the article about JH. It's a new article reporting on his new drama, needn't have to report on his military scandal. Other articles previously I read, it will usually also include his baby born out of wedlock news as well. Sickening! 

 

(Talking about tabloid, I was watching (earlier) the live streaming of 1 of my fav artiste who passed on recently in China and his body was transported back to Taiwan. Goodness the tabloids. They're so insensitive people, totally oblivious to the grieving family of the artiste).

Wow! You like Midas. It took me 3x to watch it completely because I couldn't get past the female lead which acted as KDH boss. She whispered all the time I could hardly hear! :lol:Midas and MF are both for revenge but the nature of revenge is different although I found the ending not to my liking. He and his ex boss became friends at the end! I wanted her to suffer for what she did to KDH, for betraying him. B)

I really liked Midas's plot. I think it was very sophisticated and surprising. A rather unique story. I was actually surprised by the fact that the boss lady betrayed him, and not that many shows manage to surprise me these days...  But since I'm a JH fan, Midas is not a favorite show of mine as I didn't like JH's acting in it. It was too subdued for me, almost bland. I wonder why he chose to go for that type of acting... Maybe to present a contrast with Dae gil, to show that he can do quiet too? JH's himself said that Midas was a missed opportunity, and I agree with him. And he sure made up for that in MF. :)  Also, you guys said that in Midas the script came out really close to filming, so much so that sometimes they had to use cue cards to know their lines. So I don't blame JH for that. 

As to the boss lady- I actually liked her character much more than Mal-Ran. She was in full control all the time, and I loved hating her. I agree that the end, in which she was forgiven, was annoying, but it did make sense considering who JH's character became. So even though it wasn't that satisfying, I didn't hate the end. 

 

Now as to the chemistry- I completely agree, the show was completely lacking in any sexual chemistry. From any direction. But that I blame the odd tendency in Kdramas that sometimes avoid anything sexual like the plague. We discussed that before in Dae gil in his Chuno stage, Se-Ra and Lee Gun, Guni in Tazza, Bad Papa,  and even Pil Joo, that we never see him with a woman romantically. This odd tendency was also responsible for the asexual nature of Pill Joo's love for Na Mo-Hyun. And whenever a possible sexual presents itself, it's often done very oddly. Like the scene in which the boss lady asked JH's character if he viewed her as a woman. I thought that could have been a  perfect opportunity to add to the conflict, as if he slept with her, that would have made her betrayal of him so much worse and her using him would get a whole different meaning... but for some reason it was left vague.

I guess that Kdramas are subjected to very strict censureship, but I don't understand it, considering that there is the other extreme in some movies and  shows that have scenes that are not far from soft core porn, like Shin Ha-Kyun's scenes in Empire of Lust. If anyone could explain this dichotomy to me, I'd really appreciate it :blink:

This is why it was so odd to see the actress that was so demure and modest in Midas, do that bathtub scene in Penthouse Elephant...

@Biology Lesson I felt the same about Midas, enjoyed the plot very much (watched it twice, because my mom also liked it), enjoyed the crazy family dynamics, enjoyed the boss lady (to me she was the protagonist, even writing wise, everything revolved around her, it was more her journey than KDH) and I was also confused, underwhelmed by JHs performance, this was the only time I couldn’t “read” the character, I could see what he was thinking but rarely what he was feeling (given the crazy live shooting situation of that particular drama I suppose JH himself didn’t know what his character was feeling at times? Maybe writer focused more on boss lady) 

 

I will not talk about sexual tension anymore lol. I felt it with boss lady (coming from her side mostly) but I know its probably just me. But I wanted to say, there is something called “unresolved sexual tension” which to some people is even more exciting than watching sex scenes unfold. I appreciate that, when I see it or feel it 100x more than explicit sex scenes which frankly get tedious after a while. But its true that kdramas (and turkish dramas, I hear) are wayyyy too chaste and sometimes even the UST (unresolved sexual tension) is so subtle that most people probably don't even notice it. But anyway thats what I felt with JMR and Piljoo and only mildly with boss lady and KDH in Midas (at least there was more chemistry between them than with the actual female lead, with whom he actually had a “technically” decent kiss but there was just no chemistry). 

I’ve seen kdrama clips of better “sexy” situations but I think they still need to work on it :P

 

And Jang Hyuk needs to do something romantic sexy soon! He is killing me!

As much as I would like him to as well, I think that as the years go by the chances get less haha. I think it’s more likely for him to do romantic-chaste or sexy-chaste, primarily because I have a feeling he will choose to be very selective about it. Perhaps his wife wouldn’t mind it, but I think there is a degree where the age of his children will make him think twice about doing such characters (as much as he himself is a consummate professional) for the sake of his kids and how they would handle how their father is being spoken of by others in front of them... just my 2 cents!

I want something like 'Robbers'. After Robbers he never played a romantic love story like that anymore.

I don't count 'FTLY' since it is comedy and it gives different feels. I miss his yearning eyes longing for love "I can't live without you" feels!  There are butterflies and weeping moments. I love it.

 

I don't know how to explain but I can paste the videos below to explain.:lol:

Im super curious about what he thinks about that. It would be nice if they asked him in an interview. 

 

I would love something like Mr Sunshine, no kisses but you can feel the love strongly just by the way they look at each other. SoGC had cute kisses but I wish the drama and directing had been better. It got very cringy/silly at times. FTLY was awesome, but it left me wanting MORE lol
