I love KHJ, i think he's adorable beyond words.However not so much a fan of his acting sorry... n sooyoung....idk, haven't seen her act so not gonna pass judgement...yet ^^

URGH.

how come i heard yoo ah in's name in the running for this drama!?!?!?!

now there's only reason be disappointed with kim hyun joong's name attached.

BOO.

i, too, will punch someone if the storyline turns out to be as girlfriday said.

Obviously, I am not the only one who does not get the appeal of KHJ. He is like the pictures you put an a wall because they go with your color scheme, all surface and no depth. How is he going to stand-up to whatever LJJ does on screen, the imbalance is really to great and may be painful to watch. Who did this casting, because somebody is an idiot.

Ooookkkkaaaayyyy... Why KHJ again? He's not an effective actor. Oh wait! He's an eye candy. Not to mention he can pull in younger viewers. Ugh.

Sometimes I feel sorry for other actors who can actually act. But can't get a major role in a drama because some the meaty role goes to an idol who can't act to save his/her life.

As for Sooyoung, haven't seen her act in anyhthing. So I'll watch out for her.

Darn. I was hoping that Kim Hyun Joong had given up on the acting thing.

Kim Hyun Joong can not only pull in the younger audience but he can pull me in. I turn 47 tomorrow and he can rock my world any day of the week. My sister makes fun of me for watching KDramas all the time but I showed her KHJ and even she loves him. She's a year older than me. lol
Whenever I start to feel the least bit pedo-ish, I remind myself THEY ARE LEGAL IN THE EYES OF THE LAW. woot! Could be just me tho, I have a thing for younger guys. Youngest I ever dated was 11 years younger than me. Only older guy I dated was a douche. BRING ON THE SLIGHTLY OLDER THAN JAILBAIT GUYS!

I am superficial to the core so I am just going to say this, I don't care whether Kim Hyun Joong is a crappy actor or not, he's hot. I did not like BOF because of the script or acting (both shitty to the max), I liked it because I got to look at Kim Hyun Joong for 24 episodes. He can do whatever he wants and I will still watch it regardless as long as he looks good. That being said, if he does confirm this, I will definitely be tuning in to watch it. I am a big fan of his looks, charisma, and personality (he's unique).

commonality? maybe they'll both be rocking perms?

One thing for sure, if the story sucks + KHJ bad acting, even LJJ can't help this drama from landing a re-cap in DRAMABEANS. I know coz with all the in-coming goods drama i.e: Padam Padam, Color of Woman & The Sun & The Moon, I don't think there's enough space for a badly acted drama.

no offense! i think maybe the production need to pay hugh fees for LJJ, in other way to cover up the cost, they just hire idol with low fee cost....

WHAT????
NO!!!!
I THOUGHT YOO AH IN WAS THE OTHER CO STAR.
BUT OMG LEE JUNG JAE!!! LOVE HIM ♥
WHY WHY WHY SOOYOUNG???? WHY?????
what is up with all these stupid idols acting????
seriously with jung jae next to hyun joong and sooyoung, they gonna crap.

GOOD ACTORS ARE MADE NOT BORN THAT WAY.

MANY GOOD ACTORS ARE PRODUCT OF LONG YEARS OF ACTING ,TAKING ON EVEN SMALL ROLES,SOME WERE CHILD ACTORS . THEY HAVE HAD MANY YEARS OF PRACTICE BEFORE THEY WERE EVEN NOTICED. IT IS THE SAME WITH SINGING AND DANCING. SOMETIMES YOU WILL ENCOUNTER BUT VERY RARELY GEMS IN THE PERFORMANCE ARTS.

THERE IS A BOOK WITH THE TITLE TALENTS ARE OVERRATED -WHICH POINT TO ONE IMPORTANT FACTOR THAT PRODUCE TOP NOTCH PERFORMERS -IT IS DELIBERATE PRACTICE. WE DON'T SEE, WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY TRAIN , BEFORE THEY GET THE RECOGNITION AND WIN THOSE AWARDS.

SOME HERE SAY KHJ IS GOOD ON THE MUSICAL STAGE AS PER BREAKDOWN AND LUCKY AND SHOULD JUST STICK TO IT. BUT REMEMBER KHJ HAD HIS OWN CONCEPT AND IDEAS AND OWN WAY OF EXECUTION. DRAMAS HAVE DIRECTORS.

BUT I AM GLAD THERE ARE COMMENTS MADE ON KHJ ACTING,WHICH MEANS THEY STILL WATCH HIS DRAMAS. HE CAN IMPROVE BASED ON THESE OBSERVATIONS. NOW IT IS A DIFFERENT MATTER IF PEOPLE JUST MAKE COMMENTS ON THE BASIS OF HEARSAY OR JUST PLAIN BEING PREJUDICED OR WORSE JUST HAVING FUN AT HIS EXPENSE. NOW THERE IS A THIN LINE BETWEEN TELLING IT AS IT IS AND PLAIN ABUSE SINCE IT IS EASY AND CAN BE IRRESPONSIBLY SAID UNDER PSEUDONYMS.

BUT IF IT IS HIS ACTING THAT SEEM TO BE TROUBLING SOME HERE -WHY THEN SEGUE INTO HIS PHYSICAL LOOKS. PERHAPS ,THEY PREFER UGLY ACTORS SO THAT THEY ARE NOT DISTRACTED -I AM GUESSING ACTUALLY.

BE THAT AS IT MAY, WE ARE LITERALLY SWEPT BY KDRAMAS AFTER KDRAMAS. THERE IS A WIDE SPECTRUM TO CHOOSE FROM. GO THEN TO THE KDRAMAS THAT YOU CAN WATCH WITH PEACE IN YOUR HEART.

lmao..

there are other more goodlooking actors out there who can act better than him.

his manager got some skills. I'm amazed.

Oh, honestly. Some comments on this post are immature. Take for example the immediate classification that Sooyoung is going to be an awful idol actress. She actually majored in acting before becoming an idol, and she worked hard for her audition in Hello, Schoolgirl, as her favourite author wrote it. Sooyoung is a darling and I'm going to look out for her-- I advise everyone TO CALM YOUR TITS. Just because she's an idol does not mean she is shit.

it appears the mere mention of khj generates a lot of spaz from the opposite sides of the emotional spectrum. both sides are extremely attracted to him in a positive "luv him" or in a negative 'hate him" way. huh, what can i say, this guy is amazing to cause this much raucous!

189 comments and counting for an unconfirm casting for a drama

KHJ you did it again, this idol turn actor is so popular that he can take all the dream role of your favorite actor and you can't do anthing about it

lucky me,because im his fan and so looking forward for his new drama, haters go and hate and me just watch and enjoy

I posted this on a reply to someone else' earlier comment, but I think LJJ could rub off on him (: No way you can be in a drama with such a good actor and not have it rub off on you.

This role might be more buff and less fluff which is probably good for him (:

Lee Jung-jae?

HA. JB and GF must be over the moon!

I don't know who's Lee Jung Jae, so I read his profile, he's 38yrs old so he must be a veteran actor. I don't know this actor's history too but I'm very sure he was not as good when he started way back 1994.
This guy knows he needs Kim Hyun Joong otherwise he won't agree to pair up with him in the first place. So to those people who are harsh better stop, because no matter how you badmouth on KHJ, he will be on this drama.

God Hyunjoong cannot act to save his life.

Couldn't this be based off the Japanese cartoon... Speed Racer? I'd watch that.

I agree that Kim Hyun-joong isn't the best choice as an idol/actor for this role --- I think there are better i/a than him. BUT I really don't object to him being cast in this drama either. Though I had my eyes on LMH, not him in BOF (and thought that Oguri Shun did the best job as Rui in the Jap ver) he was okay and not as irritating as Geum Jandi. I also liked him in Playful Kiss (it helped that Jung So-min was the lead actress). Also, I'm not a fan of SS501 but I like his 4D variety persona next to Heechul. So I don't have a problem with him being cast here. As expected, some of the comments here are extremely off (on both sides of the argument).

Anyway, about Sooyoung: she's one of my fave members in SNSD because I've seen her in some variety shows and she's not dull as some of the members are. Although I don't think she's also the best choice for this drama, I'm willing to give her a chance. I just hope she's better than her fellow member. *cough*yoona*cough*

I just hope the producer, writer, & director knows what they're doing. Leave the heavy dramatic acting scenes to LJJ and the cutesy/happy/funny scenes to KHJ and SY, then it'll be fine.

Note to drama gods: Please also give my Siwon, not only a meaty role, but a commercially successful drama as well! His last 2 dramas sucked.

I have been reading some of these comments and you guys have me LMAO. I love KHJ but I agree his acting needs improvement. I didn't think his acting in BOF was that bad. I didn't like PK though.

PK to me was not suited for him. He can project sexiness and sex appeal but when it comes to intimacy he is uncomfortable and it projects on screen. Plus compared to the Taiwanese version, those actors had chemistry and well, have y'all since their intimate scenes? they wouldn't been able to air those on korean tv.

Plus I think there is a difference when someone is doing something they want vs the management made me do it. when he's into something he wants to do , you can tell he's lovin it. I agree he needs to stay away from teenie romance dramas and go adult. I would love to see him play a villain. It seems like keywest is giving him a bit more freedom in his career which is what he needs.

@Jomo, YY, leonardswench...omo, best. fanwar. everrrr!!!

Thank you for being a source of wild entertainment on a Monday night. You guys are the pro when it comes to fanwarring. You just made me a fan. Antis and pros should learn a thing or two from y'all.

Not taking any sides yet...but anyone of you can convince me to get off my fence. Thanks a bunch. ^_^

Kim Hyun Joong sure beings in the comments ... so far as of December 5, 2011 | 268 Comments

on the topic if he can or can't act .... either way it is the most topic with the most comments. He wins! jajaaaa.

correction his antis jush bash and forever bitter

These people are a bunch of good for nothing critics!! I wonder from what fan club are these people from & what are they doing here reading about Kim Hyun Joong's if they dislike him in the 1st place.
I wonder if these are the same people who criticized KHJ on his 1st album Breakdown. Well he's up at the top of the chart, gained best solo performer @MAMA. KHJ gained even remarkable popularity rate & recognition from anywhere for doing BOF & PK.
Go on with your criticism, go on cast more stones on KHJ, because every time you do so he just keep going up to stardom. I can't wait to see you guys eating your words. I'm sorry but your comments are too harsh. It made me think your idols probably haven't succeeded even half of what KHJ gained.

Oh I'm back....I want to share a news from Arirang TV about "Best Five Idol Stars who are Successful CEO" the Number One is .....KIM HYUN JOONG. Check it out guys, I told you cast more stones to him & he'll succeed to anything he does, be it in show business or any business.

Why do you all love to fight over something uncertain yet? Lemme tell ya this: KHJ and Chosun TV? It's sooo NOT gonna happened. Unless he's an idiot.
If you're a true blue fans of KHJ, connect the dots.
And I'm glad that Yoo Ah In didn't take the offer either.

Because of all the hoopla for nothing, KHJ has decided to reject the drama. It's official.

KIM HYN JOONG IS GREAT ARTIST AND HIS ACTING IS AWESOME!I THINK WILL VERY GOOD DRAMA IF HE ACCEPT TO BE IN THIS STORY,I READ A LOT STUPID COMMENTS HERE AND I WONDER WHAT PEOPLE WATCH ON THIS INTERESTING PAGE,BCS NOT HAVE RESPECT AND CULTURE AND GOOD SENSE.SORRY FOR THEY.NOT NEED TO BE FAN KIM HYUN JOONG TO SEE HIS SPECIAL VALUE,CHARM AND CHARISMA. KIM HYUN JOONG IS SPECIAL AMBASSADOR FOR HIS COUNTRY AND MUST HAVE RESPECT FOR HIM,NOT ACCEPT THIS STYLE TO JUDGE ARTIST WORK .LEARN ABOUT COMPLEXITY OF CHARACTERS AND AFTER JUDGE.I AM FROM EUROPE,I SEE A LOT KOREAN DRAMAS AND KIM HYUN JOONG IS SPECIAL ARTIST IN KOREA AND IN WORLD,HE IS GLOBAL STAR,AND A LOT PEOPLES IN WORLD LOVE HIS CHARACTERS AND HOW HE ACTING.LOVE JIHOO AND BAEK SEUNG JO,SPECIAL CHARACTERS IN DRAMA WORLD,AND LESSONS FOR LIFE IN DRAMA.IF SOMEONE CAN LEARN SOMETHING FROM SPECIAL STORY LIKE BOF AND PLAYFUL KISS,THAT IS ABOUT TRUE LOVE AND PURE SOUL,BUT I THINK A LOT PEOPLE NOT KNOW WHAT MEANS.THANK KIM HYUN JOONG,GLOBAL STAR,FOR YOUR SPECIAL WORK IN DRAMAS AND ALL YOUR WORK,IS SPECIAL STYLE,ORIGINAL,UNIQUE.EUROPE LOVE ALL YOUR WORK.
