Lee Jun-hyuk for the Big Issue

Pretty pictures of Lee Jun-hyuk! Doesn’t he look carefree and charming, all roses and smiles, in a marked turnaround from his current drama role where he plays the best friend-turned-enemy in Equator Man.

It’s photo shoots like this one—for the new cover of The Big Issue magazine—that make me miss seeing Lee Jun-hyuk acting in feel-good comedies, even though I think he’s done especially well reinventing himself as an intense, serious-drama actor (Equator Man, City Hunter). The image shift has revitalized his career, that’s for sure, but I do remember how adorable he was in Three Brothers, the weekend family drama where he was pursued his love interest with all the energy of a faithful puppy dog. (Note: I don’t recommend the show outside of his involvement, though, since it got on my last nerve with the shrill family dynamics and irritating characters.)

So now I can’t decide whether I want him to keep being fierce and charismatic, or light-hearted and winning. That’s the problem when you’re good at both ends of the acting spectrum; you make us greedy. Oh, okay, just give us another City Hunter and I’ll be satisfied. What, like that’s hard?

Please Dramagods: Stop sending sexy villains on my screen. It's becoming embarrassing when you root only for them and not for the leads. Since i only saw him in dark roles, i vote for a rom-com as his next project. With him happy and alive at the end.

SECOND THAT!!!

After City Hunter, I missed him so much but he came back with a dark role and I can bear to watch live. I am waiting for Equator Man to finish to marathon it. Hopefully with good subs!

OMG >__< Pun NOT intended.
I just realized he was killed and then he became a killer. All in the space of 2 dramas.

Such a wrong choice of words

The thing is Prosecutor got killed in City Hunter. I'm all for CH2 but LJH won't be there unless.... they'd put in some time-travel and he'd be the Joseon-era doppelganger. *imagines LJH with a mane of glory* ;)

But, hey! I liked Woo-mi, too! Especially when they grew her a backbone. Something about the underdog rising out of it all always gives me the fuzzies.

My drama crack!! How do I get a copy of this magazine in Singapore?

My poor puppy has such heavy eye bags in the last pic. The strain of finishing up Equator Man I guess...

He stole my heart in Three Brothers and I've been trying to catch up on all his dramas since then. I love all his roles, especially as the puppy Yisang in Three Brothers and hot-as-noon prosecutor Kim Young Ju in City Hunter

Anyone noticed he has a silver cap ( dont recall what they call those) on one of his left molars? And he has a perpetual acne problem on one cheek. Other than that, he is PERFECT !!! And his acting is decent.

So cute! I wanna see him in another drama before he enlists! And it'd better be a rom-com with a happy ending

the only time i saw the silver cap was during the SUUUUUUPER creepy laughing at the beginning of episode 15 of Equator man....so that's what i equate the silver cap with...intense creepiness.

And may I add that even though he is rotten to the core in Equator Man, I just cannot hate him. I know the Jangil haters will pelt me. I am so glad KBS gave him this role to expand his range

When you said i' What, like that's hard "
it reminded me of what a gay friend said sometime back, looking at Lee Jun Hyuk on tv can give him a hard-o* in unmentionable places. I was cross and taken aback when I heard that because it meant my hero is also a gay target. But now I know why! Because he IS gorgeous

This photoshoot creeped me out. I've gotten so used to him being intense, it's weird to see him all lighthearted and cute. Is there a spike in that bouquet?

Seriously, though, I second the motion for City Hunter 2, and I even know how to get Lee Jun-hyuk back without going all supernatural. It's simple: he didn't really die. He just fell into a coma (because City Hunter loves those!) and Yoon-sung faked his death and hid him away somewhere, to protect him while he finished up the revenge. Then when Young-ju wakes up in the beginning of season 2, he can't just go back and say, "hey, I'm alive," because by that time, some corrupt official has framed him for corruption and murder (blame the dead guy, and everybody's happy!). So before he can go back to his own life, he has to stay with Yoon-sung and help him fight crime. Reluctant bromance explosion!!!!

Then in season 3, with Young-ju's name cleared, they're all set up to go back to their cat-and-mouse game, only this time, while they both pursue-and-evade with the same amount of intensity as in season 1, they've also bonded a bit. Who says a prosecutor and his favorite criminal can't meet up for a beer every now and then?

The possibilities are endless. Drama PTB, make it so!!

I saw him in First Wives' Club; noticed him in A Star's Lover; liked him in 3 Brothers, n loved him in City Hunter. He wasn't at all intense in the first 3 shows. His acting has gone up a few notches in Equator Man, but he seems to have done sth to his eyes betwn CH n EM.

First saw him in the other drama call CH (City Hall). Then watched him in I am Legend and heard his beautiful voice. Cried when he died in CH ( City Hunter). Now his role in EM is the best I ever seen him. Haven't watch three brothers though maybe i'll give a chance probably fast forward to his scenes.

Whoo ~ Whoo!! How pretty.... (raises high-five and moves toward the bouquet) AHHH........O.U.C.H ! ! !

.... I just touch these beautiful roses but it's very sharp and...like as knife, of course. That's why, my "high-five" hand is already bleeding a bit....(pauses & fell my knees bent on the floor) Why...Why...Why didn't I ever touch this bouquet..?? (sobs sobs) (stop sobbing & clears my throat) Well, I am sure that this actor will probably have to give this to an blessing person someday. ^___^
