Just read on Wiki how he majored in Economics/Finance while in Hanyang University. So not only is he a natural-born actor, he's also smart!

 

Btw, he was also in Mister Sunshine. Although his role wasn't really major, it left a really deep impression on me, especially when it signified something important. :((

Hi guys, I've watched The Tale of Nokdu and realized he's the same boy plays in Solomon's perjury, which he debuts as an actor. I have to say that he improved his acting day by day. After falling in love with his performance, I looked for his work before, than I found If we were a season and Beautiful Days (2018) are also very interesting to watch. 
(I have the film Beautiful days in Eng-sub, in case you want to take a look)
  
I just want to say what make me adore him is not only his acting but also his personality, so natural. Like he do what he want to do, he just shows it with his sincerity, but by a very clever way, I mean the quality that many actors don't. That's why his acting is very natural and pure. 

Love to share my opinion with you! :heart:

He acted so well in this one! I wish they added another episode to tie it all up. I havent seen Solomon's Perjury yet, but seen the other ones. School 2017 was a hit and miss (was too focused on the OTP haha). But I recall thinking he was cute hehe.

I was also wondering how much weight he had to lose for "The Tale of Nokdu" drama!

He looks super broad in this one. This is from 2018 some time around "A poem a day". I think this was his buffest period ever. Rawrr! :love:

But for TTON he needed to pass off as a very pretty woman, so he now looks like this. The long hair looks nice and the short I don't miss as much as his buff shoulders and the cheeks. So thin!  T_T

But he's shown a very charming side in this drama so I've fallen further for him haha.
He sure is a hardworking dude!

I agree, his personality, that's why I was immediately enchanted by him :wub:. It's hard to find actors who are truly genuine in both their career and personal life. Just in three years, he's now finally recognized and has solidified himself as a male lead through TTON. We need more people like him in the entertainment/media world to be a role model, given the toxic world we currently live in. So I am sooo happy for him :heart:

I might really try and start watching some of his major dramas after TTON to cope up with the withdrawal syndrome, which is gonna be so hard, I know ^^. So the movie Beautiful Days was where he was smoking? I think I saw that in Twitter posted by someone who's a JDY fan as well. I was a bit shocked though, I admit, when I saw him smoking... HAHA.. I hope he isn't in real life ^_^ I only saw him in School 2017 and when I learned that he wasn't the male lead, I actually didn't manage to continue watching it ... lol..

Not sure about how much he lose in weight, but he did say during their radio interview that rather than focusing on the weight, it's more of the muscle mass I think, IIRC. So his chubby cheeks were gone. And both KSH and Eunji being envious of that because they were wondering when their chubby cheeks/baby fats will be gone as well... HAHA...

 

At first, I cannot believe that this guy has abs because when he's just wearing normal clothes, he just looks like this adorable guy :D... but I was surprised to know he loves exercising ^^...

I recommend these shows too! Especially The Gashinas, JDY's kind and considerate nature really sparkled there I thought. 

 

To give some context about The Gashinas, it's a show where JDY and a few other celebrities went and helped grandmothers in the countryside learning to read. It's very wholesome content.

Thanks~ I saw some clips shared in Twitter too about these two shows. And yeah, I also saw that marriage thingy mentioned there :) And from The Gashinas, I saw him...

... while talking about his mom.. such a filial son...I totally get him there.

 

I am just so happy for him that people who became a new fan of him (like me) started watching his dramas and his previous variety shows and sharing them on Twitter and IG. His personality the most is what's drawn me to like him, not just as an actor but as a person :)

I love this fact! I hope he gets a netflix show, then does some interviews in english hehe. Or some english movies too like Choi woo sik in Okja! He's definitely got acting chops, I hope he makes it big someday!

Same. He's QUIRKY! and so genuine haha. I also kinda love-hate and respect the fact that he isn't on social media. Just shows he lets his work do the talking. He also maintains a mysterious aura like the actors of yesteryear. Also shows he isn't the slightest bit narcissistic (although my heart could use a selfie or two)

I know he doesn't have an extensive filmography pre tale of nokdu unlike kim sohyun but I still haven't seen everything he has done. My time post the drama ending wil be catching up on previous works for both of them. It is a good use of my time because I don't know how else to cope with the end of the drama. I'm certain jang dongyoon will have a great future ahead of him. It won't be only because of his acting but because he is also a good, down to earth and kind person. I wonder what he does on his off time hopefully spend time with the tale of nokdu casts so that we don't have to let them go so quickly.

You and me both! I love the fact that he's keeping a little privacy for himself but then I also wanna see him be active in social media for us fans. We even beg his manager to convince JDY to open an IG account but he said JDY doesn't have any plans. After their 2nd radio interview, he was signing some autographs for his fans and someone also asked the same thing to him (about IG) and he just pointed at his manager who then laughs, and said he (JDY) won't post anything anyways. I guess he's like me too, I do have social media accounts but I rarely update it with any pics, I only use it for commenting and all...lol... but I hope he change his mind down the road :)
