This writer doesn’t strike me as someone who likes to focus on 10 side characters like Writer Kim lol. She’s definitely not a major hit writer but she writes good ML characters.

 

Hahahaha, we can only wish for 30% in ratings lol. In today’s age, it’s impossible unless we want lmh in a 50 episode family drama lol. 
 

If we want a writer who guarantees ratings, we’re back with writer Park. She’s simple minded so all her stories will appeal to Koreans, easy to digest, shallow and mostly about love. 

 

If we want lmh in something dark, we can throw out expectations for really high ratings. Romantic comedies generally perform better than thrillers/melodramas. 

We all become greedy for his next project

 

Rather than anything, I want his next project to become hit & critically acclaimed in SK. Thats more important

What a wasteful wish. You are not greedy at all. You’re Choi Young. I’ll be Ki Cheol. I wish to marry lmh

TWOTM reached 28% on JTBC. It was dark and exciting. Dark dramas can get high ratings, it depends how well they are written and directed. 

You’re right! It did reach that high! How can I forget? It was a bullet to my heart each week! 

 

By dark, I mean, I want lmh to play a criminal

I couldn't complete W and 9 Times Time Travel and didn't watch Alahmbra.
But I love her Queen In-Hyun's Man. I cried a lot to have swollen eyes when I watched the last episode. I told my friend and she asked me "it's a sad story ?". I said "No, and it's happy ending." 

Oh wait, she is also the writer of Queen in hyun’s man? Then I take back what I said, my favorite drama from her is actually Queen in hyun’s man. 
 

Still a BIG NO from me! Did not like W, did not like Alahmbra and please god, no more fantasies! 

[Nikaa]

We need to know what LMH wants!! What do you want baby??  What genre? What director?

 

We will go and get whatever you want, you just come out of your room and let them interview you

It's not like he has not done that before getting these 20 and 30 etc etc not that it means much at this stage. Him doing a makjang just to get 3-4% higher It would be unwise on a freaking local cable channel it would be highly unnecessary without any benefits in it. His in new territory He should prioritize that and try getting bigger and bigger hits there but re-doing something you have done again and again it would feel like being stock. He also needs to expand into netflix viewerbase because he has to release also his movies there so getting good report on before hand is great

Can you imagine sitting thru or forcing LMH to do 90s setting rom-com drama with 20 episode where SHK Is the leading LADY. I will switch off on the first episode and I love them both

 

 

How about not a rom-com but a struggling couple? I like it! Lol.

I am in agreement with you!

Another article on the funny Nigerian men: 

 

Nigerian implores letter to Lee Min Ho: "Get away from our girlfriends"

Netizens from that African country echoed (in the form of memes) the declarations of love made by Nigerian ladies to celebrate the birthday of the protagonist of Boys over flowers.

 

 

However, the peak was a 'heartbreaking' letter sent by a young Nigerian to the popular Facebook page YorochiTv .

In his curious letter written on behalf of the ' Nigerian Boyfriends Association ' (published on June 24), the author tells the Korean actor that his appearance in the drama The King: Eternal Monarch , has killed 'thousands of loves' .

 

“Lee Min Ho, your appearance on the small screen has caused much suffering with our love. It is a threat to all boyfriends in Nigeria. In fact, like a "great disaster," it killed thousands of loves in recent days. Why?

 

“Except for curly hair, silky skin, and rosy lips that were softer than new bread, I didn't see that he had something that we didn't have. Our girlfriend no longer post photos of us. Now, on her personal pages are all your photos! ”

 

“As I write these lines, my heart hurts a lot, my girlfriend keeps posting photos of you from Monday until now.

But wait a minute, how are you so attractive? What shampoo do you use? Is that what makes you different from us? ”

 

“But please stop, don't ruin our relationship anymore. Don't make us feel like a bad boyfriend. Please leave our girlfriends alone. "

So all the boyfriends from all over Nigeria gathered to raise their voices: "Get away from our girlfriends!"

As for the LOTBS Season 2 article, I've seen that story for the past three years since the drama ended. Nah, I doubt there's any truth to it.

 If PJE do announce with LMH and SYJ, a group of us should go to SK and have a heart to heart with PJE! I volunteer to stay next to her when she is writing script and review before released!

Yes 3000x! 
 

I think lmh and mcw will be a power couple! 
 

But you know, in RL, he’s reserved for kge until further notice 

[CarolynH]

Maybe we should have a poll on what type of drama (or movie-maybe that's a totally separate animal) we want to see LMH take on next.  What are the categories?

• room com
• melo
• fantasy
• historical
• thriller

And/or a poll on what type of character

• Dr
• lawyer
• struggling single father (this is one of my picks)
• detective
• FBI agent (what's the Korean equivalent of FBI?)
• psychologist
• villain 

Something else I'm interested in- Do you have any objections to LMH playing a villain, murderer etc?  It would be a yes or no type poll.  I'm interested in the honest answers, since I know some objected to LMH's character in GB.

***********

Anyone interested helping me write a short synopsis of TKEM? I'll be honest, TKEM is not one of my favorite LMH dramas, so I'm going to struggle writing a summary. I need to update the 1st page.

They’ve have been linked together for a long time now because lmh said she was his ideal. They are the two most popular korean actors overseas and many people anticipate their collaboration so imagine the love they will receive even before the drama airs! 
 

But also imagine the hate

My projections about the The King eternal Monarch have always been on point since early episode. I was neutral when going in and tracking it for fun but I could tell that it was gonna be major hit worldwide and probably the only person who predicted such things when people were focussed on something else I was only tracking. Not LMH-fan or KGE-fan just neutral bystander.

 

In order to track a Tv-show or a blockbuster movie you have to look for the ''Take-off'' Thats how the professionals do tracking. They can make sometimes good projections before the movie hits the theater. They follow SNS movements and build-ups. I applied the same with TKEM and I have done trackings before and it's my hobby. I have tracked before Aladdin and Spider-man far from. 

 

TKEM's take-off gave me an indiction and insight to something others didn't see because I was probably the only one who knew this on before hand. It was trending high on Twitter while alot of people were talking about it on Facebook and Instagram if added together they became multiple millions of people talking about it at once and then you have to consider the word of mouth they will leave. I said it will enter top 10 worldwide for 2020 and it pretty much has already. I saw it was ranked 9 according on news. 

 

It has ranked in 45 countries 

 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

As a consequence of this I also predicted that LMH' SNS will caught fire which it did. I said he will make 10-12  million followers in two halfs during airing and post-airing due to TKEM's effect. He has already covered 6-mio followers since the last 9 weeks. He has remaining another 6 mio to add in the post-airing they will come in until around september-october and I won't rule out going higher then that

Example lets just assume your LMH and your chosing a drama? The question will be what type of drama do you seek? If you want something lowkey for exlusively local market you do a rom-com or makjang or something similar that is relatable to the local market but if you seek mass consumption you don't take dramas like that specifically dramas like Camellia blooms and My Mister and Another etc etc. All these dramas will not benefit him and will be counter-productive for him. I-fans don't share same tastes as the locals and specifically the mainstream I-fans and they are more into fantasy spectacles but if you give them a rom-com or makjang they will abandon ship and stop watching immediately. The key is to keep this mass audience in place and keep them occupied and look for an expansion of audience.

 

You have to rationalize the cons and pros and accordingly TKEM's pros outweigh. You have already a very wide ranch of audience in place and what you do is you concentrate on these audience just like how Netflix operates they see a hit they keep producing it and it's that simple.  

 

TKEM's main objective should be expanding in that horizone and put the focus there because there is demand. You always have to meet the demand

 

 

You have been pretty accurate in your predictions so do you predict that Netflix will come up with a Season 2 offer for TKEM?  If the writer and stars decline, do you think they will make it public or it will remain a secret that an offer was made?

 

I really hope if they can come up with a good story, and big budget and it will be a Netflix series, LMH will accept it.  Another writer could do the next season if KES does not want to, she could sell her rights to title of the Story and another writer could take over.

 it was so random never thought he would make a wildlife documentary but it was cool seeing him narrate a wildlife segment 

 

The documentary had 4 episodes and he was there in the wild suffering the cold and harsh conditions for many months.  It was not an easy project for him.

 

I was wondering since money heist was a big hit, perhaps LMH could play a bank robber. Anti-Hero.  Hero Villain.

In terms of not getting hate, I think MCW is a very safe FL. I don't think anyone will hate them. MCW is not strongly and crazily shipped with any specific actor.

Yes, they are always both number 1 popular Korean actor and actress overseas. Imagine what happens to China??   I think even China's president's wife will tweet about them! 

The hate though.. Is there a way to avoid? ... If their drama only air on Netflix, maybe better? Not sure! Lol!
