*** Kat from the Philippines will answer questions about her favorite actor. She is a fan of Lee JoonGi! Check out how she became his fan, the reasons why she is a fan, the dramas she recommends, and much more insights about Lee JoonGi.  

 

 

 

 

Who is your favorite Korean actor/actress? And how and when did you become a fan?

My favorite Korean actor is Lee JoonGi. I first watched Lee JoonGi in "My Girl and "Arang and The Magistrate" but I really became his fan after watching him in "Gunman in Joseon" and "The Scholar Who Walks In The Night". I like his vampire role, so scary. And he is a very handsome vampire. And being a Japanese businessman, his Japanese accent is so cool.

What are the reasons why you love your favorite actor?

For me, Lee JoonGi is a very diligent and very humble actor, especially to his fans. Every role he acted was very great.

Can you recommend dramas or movies starring your favorite actor for new fans?

The drama I recommend for his new fans is the "Flower of Evil" because the story is an action thriller and suspense melodrama with a twist. That's why I watch it many times.

What was your favorite answer given by your favorite actor in an interview?

I watch his interview before that he wants his fans to remember him as a diligent actor, and he always does his best that's why I'm very proud of him. Because he never fails us.

What is your favorite actor's influence on your daily life or yourself?

Lee JoonGi is a very funny person and very humble too. He is very passionate in every roles that he makes. That's why he is one of my inspirations in life to become happy and positive person.

What genre do you want your favorite actor to appear in? What's the reason?

I want Lee JoonGi to play a new role of a rich businessman in a romance comedy drama like "Business Proposal", or a serial killer in a horror drama. Or a doctor role. Because he is always an action star and is always in a historical drama. I want to see a new version of Lee JoonGi.

Which actors would you like your favorite actor to act with? What's the reason?

I want to see him in a action comedy drama with a all star male oppa cast with Gong Yoo, Song JoongKi, Ji ChangWook, Hyun Bin, Park BoGum, and Cha EunWoo.

Which co-actor do you think had the best chemistry with your favourite actor?

I think the best actor that has a best chemistry with Lee JoonGi is Moon ChaeWon in "Flower of Evil". Their chemistry as a husband and wife is very real and they have a great performance. In every scene that they make. The episodes is very exciting and more suspense to me.

Which character played by your favourite actor made you fall in love with them?

The character of Lee JoonGi that I really fell in love with is his Japanese role for "Gunman in Joseon". I like his Japanese outfit. His looks and Japanese accent, and the way he speaks Japanese is very cool like a real Japanese. And also his vampire role in "Scholar Who Walks The Night". His vampire role is very scary. Especially when he was weak and he needs do drink a blood. I really fell in love with him the way he speaks. 

What is a random fact that you think people don't know about him?

I think that people don't know about him is that he is very close friends with Moon ChaeWon, since they worked together in "Criminal Minds". I think they become really close that then.

If you could spend the day with him, what would you want to do together?

If I spend the day with Lee JoonGi, what will we do together are:
1. I will bring him in Quiapo Church, one of the famous church in the Philippines. We will have a mass first. And pray.
2. I will introduce him in our national hero Jose Rizal in Luneta.
3. We will go in Intramuros, Manila, one of the famous historical places in the Philippines.
4. We will have a vacation in Tagaytay and Baguio. We will take selfies. I will bring him in all the famous tourist places there. While holding hands, while walking and hugging each other in a cold weather there.
5. And we will ride in a jeepney, the famous transportation here in the Philippines.

What do you think is the most underrated work by your favourite actor?

I think the most underrated work of Lee JoonGi is when he played Wang So in "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo", although I really did't like his character. He was very aggressive and had a bad attitude. That's my own opinion only. 

If you could be in any scene with your favourite actor, which scene would it be and why?

I think if given a chance to have a scene with Lee JoonGi, I think in his drama "Scholar Who Walks The Night", I want to play as Yang Sun, when there is a scene in a bathtub and Lee JoonGi healed Lee YuBi's wounds with his blood. Or the scene in episode 1 in "Flower of Evil" with a kissing scene with his wife. Wow i fell in love. 

What is your favourite way of communicating with your favourite actor?

My favorite way of communicating with Lee JoonGi is through his Instagram. Every post Lee JoonGi makes, even his instagram story, I give it a like and I write a comment with a sweet and loving message for him to be motivated and to make him happy. That's why I always updated.

Can you recall a moment where you cried/laughed with your favourite actor?

I think I recall the moment I cried with Lee JoonGi - it is during the scene in "Flower of Evil" where he cried so much while he hugging his daughter EunHa. I really felt touched with that scene, that's why I cried a lot. And for laughter, it was when he danced in a fan meeting. I laugh whenever I watch his dance. It's really funny.

Name 1 quality in your favourite actor that you wish you had.

I think if I name one quality of Lee JoonGi that I wish I could have, it is his being a very positive person, because sometimes I feel unconfident with my strengths. That's why I really admire him.

If you could write a book about your favourite character, what would the first and last lines be?

If I write a book with my favorite character, the first line is "I will be here for you forever no matter what happens". And last line is "I love you forever and give you the best of my heart. 

What do you have in common with your favourite actor?

What me and Lee JoonGi have in common is we are both diligent and we are hardworking persons. We are both diligent in every work that we make. And we give all our best. 

What is your 2022 prediction for your favourite actor?

My 2022 prediction for my Lee JoonGi-oppa is this year will not end without him knowing me. I'm his destiny. 

Kat's message for Lee JoonGi:

Hi Lee JoonGi! Thank you for always being a good example to your fans. Just maintain being humble and a nice person to us. We are always here to support you. We love you Mr. Diligent Actor. JG style. Mahal ka namin Saranghae.

4 K-drama love lines that get on the audience’s nerves in 2022

 

Many people love K-dramas for their love lines, however, some series are just better off without them, according to netizens. 

K-dramas have always been strong when it comes to romance, and viewers are extremely invested in their favorite K-drama couples. However, not all works are in need of a romantic flair, and in 2022 alone, there have been several love lines that feel out of place in their respective series. 

 

 

Again My Life

 

 

The love line between Kim Hee Woo (Lee Joon Gi) and Kim Hee Ah (Kim Ji Eun) from the action series “Again My Life” was criticized by netizens for being irrelevant to the compelling plot and Lee Joon Gi’s performance of a psychologically complex character. 

 

The lack of coherence of the romance subplot became more obvious when it only appeared at the end of the series.

 

Despite the majority of the story focused on a thrilling revenge journey, the sudden shift to a rose-tinted love story dissuaded many viewers from finishing the drama.

*** It’s a hard fight when it comes to the worthiest winner of the SBS Drama Daesang Award 2022. The contenders are Namgoong Min (1000 Won Lawyer), Lee Jun Ki (Again My Life), Kim Nam Gil (Through The Darkness), Kim Rae Won (The First Responders), and Seo Hyun Jin (Why Her). All are solid, consistent actors, and all are deserving of the honour. I watched the dramas of Lee Jun Ki & Kim Rae Won. and both are always appealing and convincing in their roles.

A K-Drama Fan From The US Talks About Her Love About Romance K-Dramas

 

Can you give us your top 3 K-Dramas and why you love them?

This is a hard one. I would say my top three K-Dramas would probably be "Guardian The Lonely And Great God", "Flower of Evil", and "True Beauty".
 

"Guardian The Lonely And Great God", because it was the first K-Drama I had ever watched, and the performances of Gong Yoo and Kim GoEun’s characters, playing Kim Shin and Ji EunTak, was terrific. Also, not to mention the bromance between Kim Shin and Grim Reaper.

"Flower of Evil" is in my top three because the story was so immersive, and the entire cast’s chemistry with each other was just so realistic. The writing was also a big standout as well!
