SSH... I can be your friend, and talk to you very comfortably anytime...wahahahaha

he's face not that handsome but his expression is good just look tired in Dr.Jin and he can act that's why he is still on the business

he's acting is good, just look tired in D. Jin
the movie itself there's something lack in it I don't know why he's only the one to get blame

I've been following him on Facebook and I must say, he is really endearing. I'm tempted to even call him naive. He comes across as a genuinely sweet, hard-working person, who might be vain - he sure knows he's pretty ^_^ - but he shows a healthy amount of self-criticism. In any case, I watched about 35 minutes of Dr. Jin, so I'm not qualified to talk about his 'acting' in this show. I just know that I'll definitely give his next project a try of at least 35' as well :)

I don't like him , even after this interview. I don't know he seems kinda arrogant and shameless. He can't act, but still do. And to him, it doesn't seems to be a big deal. Bein pretty isn't everything man. Gotta learn to act or something.

'the pretty', my new nickname. I think from now on, I will be super leery of anything with Song Seung-heon. Truth be told, I've never been bowled over by his acting! People complained about So Ji Sub, they are definitely not the same. I thought his acting in Dr Jin was sub par! Jaejoong did a better job as he struggled to make a good showing in a bad drama!

Wow, I'm... pleasantly surprised. This is my first time reading an interview of his and he sure does come across as a decent bloke. Full of awareness too.

Still a bit of an anomaly though. How many actors have we seen who rely on their looks alone AND not being an idol either...?

He is such a handsome man..but sorry to say I tried watching his drama Autumn Tale that made me cry from starting till the end, its all because of the beautiful story line..I watched Time Slip DR.Jin is because of the genre..and yet he doesn't attract me at all..I enjoyed Lee Bum Soo and even Jaejoong, not to mention Jin Yi Han sexy voice..but I hope he will improve and make an impact in his acting soon.

TQ jb,

Oh think again ! same SITUATION with East of Eden !,

bravo Lee dae Hae !!.

I think he's not bad of an actor. His charm makes up for anything still lacking. : ) Wow- and I never heard of him being demanding on the job. He seems like such a nice guy, very sincere. So I'll go on believing that until hear it first-hand from other actors who've worked w/ him.
SSH fighting!

first, i saw the trailer it is totally exciting drama but some part of the scene didn't reached my expectation after i watched but it never been boring to me maybe we have different point of view how the story goes and it depend also the people how would they appreciate it but i think there is no perfect that was the story goes on ! always have ? but important we should look forward and enjoyed watching.
Even though still like the drama dr. jin i understand how the drama goes on and i would to commendable the actors they doing great and i appreciate they hard worked and i'm not kind of person that pulling down the dignity of others they doing there job well by potraying the character well and ssh character is not too powerful even not ssh potrayed that character that was the story of this character
i hate so much people critizing ssh they doing their job well but for those others descriminates him you are too much! enough ! don't you realized you bullying SSH whatever the reason is it wanting to improved only his acting career still you hurt him so much and judge him so much. i hope you would live in heaven because i know people can't be happy for others or praise he/she are living in hell.
why don't you makes satisfied and why makes your life difficult or complicated and not be open minded and give him chance
may god bless you ...

Oow, so sweet. He seems like a nice guy. I feel sorry now for ranting on him in Jin.
Well, hope he knows now that playing a complicated character is not his forte, just stick with simple character in romcom, I guess.
On the side note, the PD and writer of Jin really mess up this drama !!!

Don't know where javabeans got the diva part from. So far, all I've ever read from his costars to production teams and every other person working with him has always said that he is no diva. Very hardworking it seems.

Actually, the only place that showed his "demanding" side was the conversation between javabeans and girlfriend a few months back where they were jokingly pulling his leg by conjuring up an imaginary arrogant Seung Hun demanding and yelling into his bluetooth. That was made up.

But, yeah, he is hard working but lacking in acting skills. Completely agree. He's got to work at it HARDER.

Javabeans doesn't follow him but if you've read his interviews through his career, the thing about him is he is damn honest. Yes, a little naive too. Don't know bout his army thing but even then, he honestly admitted his mistake and made no excuses. He humbly apologised and took the shame. Sincere and that's what this interview was as well. No surprise or mystery here javabeans. This interview is true to his character if you've followed him. Song Seung Hun through and through.

I might eventually finish Dr. Jin.

His acting isn't great, yeah, but I still enjoy watching him-- at the very least I always know what his character is "supposed" to be feeling, unlike a few other characters I've encountered in Kdrama land.

I have hope for him getting better, not that I've watched everything he was in. My first time seeing him in anything was "My Princess" and I thought he was totally fine in that. It wasn't a role that required the awesome levels of awesome say that Gong Yoo put fort in "Big".

While Gong Yoo's acting is was almost enough to save the trainwreck that "Big" became, SSH just doesn't have that prowess (yet...). I think for him to really grow as an actor he can't be the lynch pin of the drama. He needs strong writing, strong direction and a really strong supporting cast.

It's sad to read negative comments even if they are true. He's nice. I hope things would go well for him.

It's hard not to like him. I really wish him the best in both his life and career. He seems sweet, I just hope its genuine and he's not really a Dokko Jin.

It surprises me that so many here think that one has to be a good actor to be a successful one. What SSH has aside from being good looking is an charismatic appeal that comes across of film.

This draws women to him, magnetism is a force to be reckoned with.

Sounds like a down to earth person definitely. And the director should hv listened to him!

Sounds like a down to earth person definitely. And the director should hv listened to him! Then it would really hv been less makjang.

In show biz looks are everything and SSH has it. I would try to watch his next project. Just hope it's not melodramatic. He should only do rom-coms.

SONG SEUNG HEON= much talent, beautiful, aspect physical nice, beautiful soul, some eyes hypnotic with a look gorgeous, voice pleasant, a smile for your mouth-watering and I think the list can continue ... That's why I love, I appreciate, I respect and watch projects actor SSH. I look forward his next project. I wish him SSH all the best!

I love SSH...more so after reading this interview!!! He may no be the best actor but imo he's quite decent out of the bunch and he's humble!

I do agree he's better at rom-com though. Hopefully, his next project will be similar to 'My Princess'.

Aja!Aja! Fighting!

I love all of his answers to this interview. You can tell he's quite a humble person.. even though many people were criticizing and saying things about him, he took his criticism and found a way to use it to his benefit. Yes, Dr. Jin was a bit messy, but I'm glad that he was able to break out of his comfort zone a bit and try something new even though he wasn't sure if he could carry it on. For what its worth I think he truly did a great job on his role, even though it didn't turn out good in terms of ratings.

Yes, I guess being good looking can have its set back, but I really appreciate that he's a good person with a good personality and that he has a positive outlook on everything he does.

Thanks for posting the lovely pictures of him and the interview.. Wish he gets a better script next time~ ! :)

I like SSH so I'll still watch all his drama and all negative comments are irrelevant to me.

he's gorgeous,he's yummy,he's sexy,he's neat,he's smart and he's not overexposed,he's got killer looks and just the right height and body build,he's not perfect but that's what makes him human.his acting is not good?i really don't give a rats a**,he is still mr. perfect for me since east of eden.^___^.

I know almost everyone on Dramabeans it hate the Song Seung Heon,and that happens is long time,and then when hate someone,no matter what do,not see anything good to him.
I like SSH.It's a good actor.

SSH is just so cute! Whatever is his expression, is good actor! It is one of the most charismatic actors in Korean.

My husband. Love him to death!

There is a lot of narrow minded people here, SSH's great actor!

YES me too, think this is an anti-SSH website!

I'm astounded at the many criticisms of the acting of SSH. After seeing many of his performances (Dr. Jin excluded), I can't help but draw the comparison to a US actor named James Dean who, along with Marlon Brando, revolutionized the approach to acting from the "technique" to "method" (or intuitive) back in the 1950's. One of Dean's three movies, before his death at age 24, was "East of Eden", and my favorite performance of SSH is also "East of Eden", although not the same story.

As a woman approaching the age of 83, I feel compelled to support SSH for his acting ability because I'm not a star-struck fan who is fantasizing about a young man with unusual good looks. If, as many people are saying, his performance in Dr. Jin is not up to standard, I would tend to place blame more on the writing, since the actor can do only so much with the words given to him.

To Song Seung Heon:: Criticize are the best remedy to boast one morale,You cannot please everybody,because in this world there are more pro @ cons..Use this tools (critizism) as your inspirations,guiding you to be a better persons,,regarding on what are you now...In regard to that it will help you to choice the right prodjects,right director,right scripwriter,producer and people behind you....You did your best,,,,just stay foot...we are here to support you all the way.....And thanks to those who critizice Song Seung Heon .....to that extend your eyes only focus to whom you critizice.....God Bless.....

SONG SEUNG HEON oppa is good in acting,is charismatic,very handsome,sexy.FIGHTING!

I am view of that Oppa has his owned acting style. He presents his acting like manly or masculine type. Not cry like a child in sad scene. He chooses to act like an ordinary man in real world to conceal his feeling inside. We can tell how charming he is in his interview or his film when he was in Vietnam. He is so natural appeal. I wish he would have happy family as he wish. It is really hard to find a right person particularly at his social status for the time being. I will sincerely say congratulations to him when he finds that special one.

Yeah, I agree with all comments to say that Dr. Jin script writer doesn't allow him to show his performance.

I actually really like him on east of eden (2008). I think it was one of the best Korean drama of all time.

SSH is charismatic and authentic IMO. He is not extremely good looking actor like Lee min ho or else. But he is very charming and with little bit better acting skills, he can take any projects, including being good or bad guy in movie . I can see him stay much longer in entertainment film business if he gets good roles .

I enjoy Dr Jin drama in which Song Seung-heon treat the patients, perform brain operation, make syringes etc.

But Park Min-young is a bit extra to the drama. Her hugging scene with Kim Jaejoong is so fake and obvious. You can slide a ruler and see the gap already.
I rather they dun hug at all and omit this hugging scene from the drama.

Love Song Seung-heon he is way too beautiful! He is the most beautiful man I have ever laid eyes on, no guy should have eyes like that. They are beautiful black pools that I would gladly swim in. In fact, even if he was a girl and had those eyes I would have to stare they are so very beautiful. He needs to study the form like Lee Byung hun now that guy can act 10 out of 10 all the time...he is amasing. What he does though is to study the old actors, he watches old movies across a wide range of films, from the great Hollywood actors through to the best Asian actors. He has an extensive video library and it has paid off. If SSH did the same he would blow Hollywood apart but he needs the will and the inclination to do so. I just think he doesn't give a rats ass about being famous or raking in the cash he's happy with his lot. what happens when he is no longer pretty though? What then? I love him though he seems really chilled and a nice guy, I haven't heard any horrible stories about him being a pig to any women.

I have to disagree strenuously with all those who say he can't act! I live in the U.S., have watched films and dramas for over a half century. BTW, we have some fine actors in the U.S. Just saying. SSH captivated me from the beginning. As I have come to watch Korean shows I have noticed across the board how I will dislike an actor/actress in one role and think them untalented only to recognize them in another one where it is clear they CAN act different characters. If you have not watched East if Eden, done about 10 years, I think, into SSH's career, I suggest you do so. It is a sweeping story that makes huge demands on its main character, Dung Chul, who manages to carry almost the entire emotional weight of the drama, acting on the knife edge of being a bad guy/still lovable by all. Think about all the complex emotions he displays in all the scenes with the dozens of characters. His eyes are so soulful and open to the camera, it's like you can see right inside him. Sure, some of his productions aren't as good as others - but that is the nature of all of them. Of all the 100s of Korean actors I have watched, I put SSH #1. You may disagree. From all the comments above, it is not clear just what you object to, except that you envy or resent his good looks. I'd say by looks alone, I would pick his face to represent 1,000 years of Asian men. But like he said, looks alone won't allow you to continue in acting. Also, consider that he's been in the business 20 years, so he is not the teeny bopper idol like Lee Min Ho, who I think is really overrated. So, maybe Dr. Jin wasn't the best role. So what. No actor should limit himself/herself to rom/com or any genre. Just about all actors welcome the chance to stretch and try on new and demanding roles. I think SSH has true heart,made a mistake as a young man, and there are still those who resent his success. I can't wait to see Obsessed!
