Well hopefully the Baeksang awards don't depend on ratings, then Joon Gi will have a chance at the coveted daesang (keeping my fingers crossed), he so deserves it. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During an interview at the photo shoot site, the actor discussed his thoughts on his dramas, TV ratings, and his overall acting career and some choices he has had to make. When asked to talk about his current drama, 'Scarlet Heart: Ryeo' Lee Jun Ki admitted, "I have worries about the TV ratings." As a big drama with its original, Chinese version having had huge success, the Korean version is not doing as well in terms of TV ratings. Lee Jun Ki stated, "I feel sad. All the actors and staff worked so hard. Everyone worked so hard..." Aside from the TV ratings, the drama is getting a lot of positive feedback, and many are praising Lee Jun Ki's acting. However, he did not make excuses, saying, "I have no regrets. As a leading role, I must have a sense of responsibility with its success, including TV ratings. As I watch this drama, I am looking for what it is lacking." His monitoring does not end there. Lee Jun Ki says that he reads all the comments on articles related to him. He explained, "Not just my works, but I watch almost all dramas and movies that are out to analyze what people like, why certain dramas have high ratings, and why some don't do as well. It helps me be a better actor for the next work and also helps me to select scripts." When questioned about plans to get married, he responded, "I have my priorities. I want to be settled as an actor first. It's not just about performing well as an actor. I think a lot about how I can be chosen by the public consistently...Yes, I do feel frustrated with myself sometimes too."

With only four episodes left in Scarlet Heart:Ryeo, the leading actor is already talking fanmeetings and future acting opportunities with Singles magazine. The 34 year-old actor modeled the latest trends in suits, crocheted sweaters and leather jackets for the black and white photo shoot, while he chatted with the publication. He is all in when it comes to fan gatherings! Fanmeeting preparations take about a month, because he is very hands-on with the entire event. From songs to special events during the meetings, he does it all. "I am grateful to all my fans, and I am trying hard to be together with them," he said. Reveal hidden contents Although he is very happy he met the great cast and crew on the set of Scarlet Heart: Ryeo, the Hallyu star is ready to embrace the future. His next role is Commander Lee in the Hollywood film Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, which releases in US theaters on January 27. "It's just a special appearance, and I think of it as a good experience... I have been acting for more than 10 years now, but there's still a lot I want to show everyone. I haven't met my true character yet. I hope to in the future." Fans are more than willing to take that future ride with him. I think Lee Joon Ki has done an unbelievable job as Wang So these past couple of months. I was 100% Team Wang Wook until recent episodes. He's very persuasive. https://www.dramafever.com/pt/news/lee-joon-ki-talks-life-after-scarlet-heart-ryeo-/ Just woke up and read this article. Now I feel bad for him. He's done outstanding job as Wang So. Argh this gonna bug me all day 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathylim82 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi all, just wanna share a video of LJG. I'm very touched by his sincerity in wanting to make his fans happy. I dun ever recall there's another artist who sang in mandarin. Mostly they chose English songs. Anyway, the song now takes on extra meaning. Premonition on his part? Here goes: 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also looked up the significance of Pegasus. It doesn't seem to add much to the story. Though it does make for interesting reading on astronomy. The sneer when she watch him struggling with the pronunciation. I swear the snippets of her 21st century is there.

He did a fantastic job portraying Wang So and I don't want him to feel that he was lacking just because of the stupid TV ratings. The writer and actors did a great job and the drama has been given a lot of love internationally. I just hope they can put together a longer version with all cut scenes that everyone worked so hard on for a DVD release. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick any character (doesn't have to be your favorite character) and identify ONE thing they did that you'd do differently in their position; or 2. Pick a character in the drama you'd WANT to be; and then pick the character you'd MOST LIKELY BE if you were in Goryeo (just know I'm side-eyeing all those who will say they'd most likely be Wang So...) 1. Wang Eun. I would have let Soon-deok in my heart, or at least befriended her until our love blossoms. 2. I'd want to be Baek Ah because I want to be better in drawing lol. Sorry OP HAHAHA but I'd probably be the earlier episodes Wang So with his cynical and talking back nature. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popularity in entertainment is such a brief thing today, one moment you`re on the top and then a new thing appears and you`re done. Tbh, this actually just prove how good LJG is, he`s been 10 years on the market and is still popular and relevant to the entertainment business, Isn`t easy to keep a consistent career when new actors keep popping up every day, but he did. Which makes this "he passed his prime" even funnier is that thanks to his performance in SRH, he's everywhere. He was topping the searches in China (was it china?), got more than 600.000 followers on IG as fast as a bullet, he's on top 10 on that popularity poll, top 5 in another two tops ( Good data and drama actor Brand Reputation for October)... he's definitely not doing badly as a veteran actor. Agree with you. Entertainment Biz is very tough world. If you in that business for 10 years and people still know your name and appreciate your work, then you did something right. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ceda209 Posted October 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2016 Ugh! That article broke my heart. The hell with TV ratings. I enjoyed Moonlight too, but it's not nearly as good as MLSHR (no offense Moonlight fans) & I almost gave up on the last 4 episodes. MLSHR has everything. I hope LJK doesn't dismiss the fact it's doing very well internationally. 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post briseis Posted October 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2016 Lovebirds Spoiler It’s such a pity that their mountain meal didn’t make it into the final cut, because it suddenly gives this brief, adorable moment a new complexity and dimension. Once again, Hae Soo comes to the lonely wolf who is hiding from the world, hurt by his own family; once again she doesn’t leave him alone even when he is telling her to go back; once again she brings him sustanance; once again they eat together. However, this is where the similarities end, the rest tells about the long journey they have behind them and even though they might have been physically separated their hearts has walked it together. There is no awkwardness or shyness this time, they are completely natural, as if this was the most normal thing, as if they weren’t star-crossed. This time, HS doesn’t barely hand So the food, but FEEDS HIM HERSELF when she notices he has difficulty to use the chopsticks with his left hand (since his right hand is injured). You have to wonder whether Wang So isn’t simply pretending (and he is TOTALLY pretending because he CAN FIGHT WITH BOTH HANDS) BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY WANTS SOO TO FEED HIM since the scene obviously continues with him feeding Soo, as well (a part which was deleted once again). Spoiler The whole scene gives such a feeling of perfect marital bliss that you almost expect that a “JUST MARRIED” sign must be hanging somewhere on the wall. The fact that they FEED EACH OTHER IS SO APTLY SYMBOLIC AND IT UNDERSCORES THE HONEYMOON MOOD EVEN MORE because it’s a direct parallel to the previous night and the shadow play - besides the wolves, they did multiple shadows of bird mates and MOST BIRD MATES ACTUALLY FEED EACH OTHER WHEN THEY AREBREEDING(hint: a baby) MATING.

Popular Post kathylim82 Posted October 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2016 7 hours ago, millie10468 said: While thinking about how C-BBJX ended with Yinzhen all alone in the Forbidden City, I'm pretty glad that So will at least have Baek Ah around (or even if he leaves to travel around, he'll be alive). Cmiir, but Historical Baek Ah didn't die that early since he had to be alive long after So's rule begun to have an affair with a palace maid and continue the Wang line. So's line ended with Mokjong, his grandson and Baek Ah, as awesome as always, kept richard simmons moving for the Royal Wang family. Sadly, the same can be said for Historical Wook who died in 969, just 5 years before So died in 975. He also stayed alive long enough to have a daughter married off to So's son and she became Queen Heonae, also known as Queen Dowager Cheonchu. It's pretty interesting that Wook was the seventh son, not eight. Creative license at its finest. I guess Baek Ah really was the winner in this battle for the throne since neither So nor Wook's issues and descendants had much longevity. *shaking my head* Damn this addiction. Got me doing research on Goryeo history whilst ignoring the research I should be doing. We are now experts on Goryeo history. Because of MLSHR, dare i say I'm more well versed in its history than my own country's. *cough* guilty as charged. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vwj1 Posted October 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2016 I really don't understand the ratings in Korea either. This is truly the only drama that I have looked forward too every week. The only drama that has ever inspired me to sign up on a forum because I NEEDED to discuss, to read discussions, to be exposed to more of the drama. This is the only drama that I've found worth analyzing because it is thought provoking. Usually when a drama is 15 episodes or more, I can't commit to watching it because 1. It's too damn long, 2. It's too damn boring, 3. The actors/actresses ends up annoying me somehow, 4. The plot became seriously silly and stupid, 5. It has fillers that I don't feel is relevant to the story. I tried watching DOTS; dropped it half way (and I love Joong Ki and Hye Kyo) because I couldn't stand the acting and story line. I've tried watching many others and just didn't feel it was worth my time. But Moon Lovers is like an addiction. I think, breathe, and seemed to be living for this drama. My life has been on hold since I've started watching it. I feel that this drama can have another 80 episodes and I wouldn't be bored with it. I wish we can give Moon Lovers an International Award for most beloved drama ever. 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rose3 Posted October 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2016 I am so caught up with real life. Just watched with eng sub, omg! Like so many of you, there are so many things I want to say after this episode. This is really an excellent episode!!! Many of you write excellent comments and thoughts! In my opinion, thus far, this episode is on par with episode 11 on their excellence but on different merits. Episode 11 tugs your emotions deeply but episode 16 is the start of further unrevealing of the plot. Key developments are happening in this episode. We are now heading to our climax soon and then the ending. I will talk more in my next post. I have been watching only the SBS version faithfully. And in my opinion, I must say that I am happy I made the decision. I watched episode 16 international version out of curiosity after the whole fiasco out of the leaked version. I can see the difference in the quality of the drama in both version. SBS re-edited version has better editing. The flow of the story is much better. Somehow, I feel that based on their interviews, the team has shorter time nearing the end of the filming because they need to rush the editing etc so that the drama can be send for review to the Chinese government. So i think the Director may have shorter time to edit the drama to his best. I would say I prefer the SBS version. I have read about optimal stress level. Stress can be good but not too extreme and when the stress reaches the optimal level, organization and entities perform their best work. While S.Korea has the tendency to be very critical, the critiques of the drama, bring the best out of the editing of the drama. Though I must say I necessarily don't like the witch hunting and hateful antis and comments with the case of netizens. Z.Hera, the singer-actress who plays SD, actually knows some martial arts before the drama. I saw one of the interview and she said about it. If i remember correctly, its their V-live interview. I am impressed by her martial arts skill. I see so many newcomers in this thread! And I want to say welcome to all!! So many popped out after the leaked episode fiasco. Haha! And for guests and others who are still lurking, I just want to say we only left with 4 episodes to talk about the drama. Better let out your thoughts!!! Haha! Also, I am happy I found this forum. I learnt a lot from many of you in this thread. *bows head* There are many smart, experienced, knowledgable people posting here. I am going to hang out in Dramabeans also. I can learnt something new. Haha! With South Korea increasing it soft power with the Hallyu Wave and K-entertainment increasing relevance around the world, it will attract different kinds of people. I can learnt a lot being in this K-community. 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
