guys please don't be too hopeful about this tvn thing incase we get nothing, I was just so excited about tvn following him but now after the excitement has gone, I feel bad.....I hope I didn't give anyone of you false hopes 

 

No worries.  I, for one, wait for and want confirmation from MYM or some other official entity.  I think we first heard about Pachinko via some newspaper.  I was one clamoring for MYM to confirm. Ok, I admit I was like this  lol.   I'm not sure that I remember LMH confirming for a drama, so I definitely want to hear it from the agency or broadcast station.  

********

Thank you everyone who voted in the poll.  I really had no idea that BOF was the first LMH drama for many.  I assumed most of us found him around 2013 and after, so I expect Heirs forward to be the answer to question 1.  

************

You guys make me laugh.  Back to who will be the FL lead again.  We discussed that, what, 8 months ago?  Let me ask this.  Why does the FL have to match LMH visually?  Why couldn't his character fall in love with a plain Jane?  I think I'd find that more interesting.

I met lmh through City Hunter but fell in love with him in Faith and started following him since then. Everyone talks about there being that one moment. For me, that moment was when daejang entered riding on a horse in the rain . He captured me forever. 
 

Regarding female lead, I’m with you. I don’t particularly care about whether she matches him visually. If she’s good at acting, I am all for it.

You're the 2nd person that mentioned that she was attracted to daejang/LMH when he rode the horse in the rain.  I wasn't curious until he was stabbed lol.

because we saw what happened last time when he wasn't paired with a visual match, kmedia ripped the drama apart.......so for my sake and his mental health and for high ratings sake, let us get a visually matching female lead or we shouldn't get a female lead at all. that would be better than him falling in love with a "plain jane" the chemistry just won't be there and knetz were saying last time that they found it too unbelievable how he just fell for the FL like that especially because she isn't his match

 

I won't mind no female lead at all, tired of romance dramas

For me, i know him from BOF. Back in 2009, it was huuuuuge hit. Since then me and most of the people who like kdrama basically will be watching any lmh drama. And if you asked anyone about korean actor, people here will answer they know lmh 

Only after legend of the blue sea i kind of follow him but unfortunately he went to military. then the king happen, im a big fan now. 
 

regarding fl leads i am on the same boat as you. Visual doesnt matter. I just hope people in SK be open minded and give him a fair chance, and focus on his acting and the story rather than only visual.

All You Need To Know About Lee MinHo’s Character 'Ko Hansu' in “Pachinko”

 

 

"Apple TV+" has officially announced the cast for its series "Pachinko", with Korean superstar Lee MinHo among those starring in the series. "Pachinko" is a television adaptation of the Min JinLee’s novel of the same name. It chronicles the hopes and dreams of four generations of a Korean immigrant family from 1910, when Japan annexed Korea, throughout most of the 20th century. Its protagonist Sunja journeys to Japan in the midst of World War II, as she contends with anti-Korean bigotry and future generations grapple with their identities and past family secrets. The 2017 novel was praised for its depiction of institutional racism, prejudice and gripping intimacy under a distinct Asian lens. Watch the author, Min JinLee in conversation with Jeffrey Brown to take more viewer questions on "Pachinko" in this video.

 

 

The story focuses on the main protagonist Sunja, played by "Minari" star Youn YuhJung. The show will be led by Lee MinHo while teenage Sunja is played by Kim MinHa. Japanese actors Soji Arai and Kaho Minami to portray Mozasu and Etsuko and Japanese-New Zealand actress Anna Sawai, will essay the role of Naomi, a tenacious careerist making her way in the male-dominated world of finance. Directors Kogonada and Justin Chon are set to direct four episodes each.

 

Apple TV

 

Lee MinHo will play Ko Hansu, described as an enigmatic outsider and merchant with ties to organized crime who embarks on an illicit romance with far-reaching consequences. In the following section know more about the character of Hansu and what Lee MinHo feels about the same.

Spoiler

1. The Actor Had To Audition After A Decade To Bag The Role of Ko Hansu!

 

MYM Entertainment

 

In a recent interview, MinHo revealed that he indeed had to audition for the role of Hansu and in fact, this audition was his first in almost 11 years. The Hallyu actor hasn’t had to audition since "Boys Over Flowers" that shot him to fame in 2009. He also revealed that he was so determined to do the character that he really spent time to work and prepare for the role. As a matter of fact, he said that during the audition, he felt extremely pressured and nervous as he wanted to slay it.

 

2. Is Ko Hansu A Romantic Character?

 

As per the novel, Hansu's romance with Sunja is taboo ridden, forbidden and illicit. But it also indicates that if the television series is a replication of the story then MinHo's presence in the role of Hansu would only serve to romanticize him further. In the book, Sunja is just 16 years old when she meets Hansu, who is in his early 30's. Hansu seduces Sunja and starts sleeping with her.

 

When Sunja becomes pregnant, he tells her he is already married and has a wife and kids in Japan. He offers her the choice to live as his mistress, which Sunja rejects. She later marries Isak, a priest, and moves to Japan with him. However, in publicizing MinHo's character, Hansu is portrayed as someone who "uses his massive influence to keep Sunja as well as her family safe and well." In less romanticized words — Hansu uses his position in the Yakuza to manipulate Sunja and her family's circumstances, with the disillusionment that he is protecting her, but in fact, just harming her further.

 

3. Is Ko Hansu A Narcissist?

 

MYM Entertainment

 

The romanticization of manipulation and abuse is not new in Korean dramas — and it is certainly not new for characters played by Lee MinHo. The actor's roles in both "The Heirs" and "Boys Over Flowers" are those of rich boys, often indifferent to others. These characters both fall in love with poor girls, who inevitably change them for the better. MinHo's character in "Boys Over Flowers" is a bully to an extent where his torment causes another character to attempt suicide. In "The Heirs", Kim Tan (Lee MinHo) and Cha EunSang (Park ShinHye) fall in love, despite Kim Tan being engaged to Rachel Yoo (Kim JiWon) — another toxic relationship entirely. Many actions of Kim Tan left a lot to be desired — for instance, when he tells Cha EunSung that he would invade her privacy because he likes her. In every one of these dramas, the toxicity is brushed off. There is a "happily-ever-after" and the drama ends. But the impact of these dramas on a society that is often called out for its misogyny, is downplayed. This brings us back to "Pachinko". The Apple TV+ series is being made for a global audience, and so, the tropes often present in Korean dramas may not make their appearance. Nevertheless, we're yet to find out if the series will actually show Koh Hansu to be the narcissistic, manipulative character that he is or if Lee MinHo, in the role, would make the writers change the narrative to show the 'good guy' character he tends to maintain in his projects.

 

Lee MinHo was quoted saying, "If the knight in shining armour is my representative image, (then actually) I should keep going until I become the emperor in shining armour." He further added that when he joined the show "Pachinko", his determination to change his image became strong.

"Pachinko" doesn't have an official release date yet. But according to Apple, the series is set to debut later in 2021.

 

Are you excited to watch Lee MinHo in a different avatar in "Pachinko" ?

Translating Lee Min Ho's words from the video
"MINOZ X LEE MIN HO l Episode of 15th Anniversary" на YouTube

 

"Actually, I think the reason that made me live ...
Essentially, happily ...
And I don't even know how to express it ...

The word "fans" itself, as well as the word "Minoz", seems to have something that can melt my heart and make tears flow from my eyes. As I receive love from all of you, I become more mature. More mature as a person - and in a sense of responsibility in relation to many things. Thanks to the strength that I receive from your love and which encourages me to move forward, to fight, overcoming obstacles and difficulties, I want to become an actor who can be completely trusted as a life partner. In fact, to me you are like the main characters in my heart.

And I always think what to give in return to my fans who support me, love me, and make me shine like no one else. I will do my best to repay your love with many of my future works. To all of you who are here now - I hope you can be happy, and I also hope that I can also be a little happiness in your life.
Thank you always.
As the seasons change
We guard each other
And whatever happens to me, hard time or happy,
My Minoz are and remain, always returning with even greater love.
I cannot describe gratitude in words, and I hope that my sincerity will reach all of you.

Let us always remain together, as now, and our hearts will be unchanged ...

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And I love you. "

Interesting, so LMH was looking at art.  Looks like he appreciates modern art--or is he interested for some other reason--a role in a drama perhaps?

I remember a similar photo during or before TKEM. If it is for a role, I cannot wait for it!! What if it is like a hustle genre? I would love something like that from him with some sauve action. 
 

And is he observing art though sunglasses? That I find very interesting )
