@missjb, yup chemistry is different with acting performance and I think Eric still as good as both ladies. Again, I never understand who some people giving comments both actress are better than him where at the end, the most memorable one in people's mind still his characters.

Let's get real here.

There's a reason why Jung Yu-mi is considered one of the top actresses of her generation and why she is one fo he most sought actresses for auteurial films.

Seo Hyun-jin has shown her acting chops before, but she finally got a break-thru role in OHYA (due to the popularity of the show) and she shows all the sign of being another "Queen of romcom" who is highly respected for her acting like Gong Hyo-jin.

Eric has improved as an actor where where I don't really pay attention to it (meaning don't notice it for being bad), but at the same time, wouldn't say that he is at the level where one could consider him to be among the top male actors.

And yes - "chemistry" has little to do w/ acting performance.

Seems like you don't like Eric, do you? I saw your comments several times and attacking his looks. It's okay if you feel he's not good looking. But most us think he's one of handsome man. And that's okay if you think he's not good actor. But you like it or not, his 'price' is much better that Seo Hyun Jin and Jung Yu Mi. That's the fact. He just doesn't enough time to do more acting projects due to his business and idol world. Otherwise, he may sweep all of the actors, including your favorites.

Seo Hyun Jin and Jung Yu Mi are nowhere near Gong Hyo Jin level. And Jung Yu Mi isn't A-list actress too. Both even not really that popular. Otherwise, Seo Hyun Jin would be the first choice for Oh Hae Young. While Eric since the beginning was the target of team production. That's the real thing. I don't want to attack any actress. I love them. But sometimes, their fans are annoying.

If you don't like Eric trah much, just stop looking at his drama. For your health.

Geeze - why does this have to turn into a referendum on whether I "like" or "dislike" someone?

I like Eric just fine.

Not particularly a fan of Shinhwa's music (not a big K-pop fan; much prefer K-indie), but always enjoyed Shinhwa's variety performances going back to the days of "X-Man" and "Love Letter."

Eric simply isn't on the level of acting of the actors I had listed (the vast majority of K-actors can't compare to those actors), but his acting is perfectly fine and as idols turned actors, he is one of the better ones.

As for Eric's looks - he's a decent enough looking chap, but not exactly going to singled out for his looks.

And that's just a fact (subjectivity has nothing to do w/ it - looks, after a certain point, is objective, not subjective).

So - Eric is not as good-looking as K-actors like Kim Sung-soo, Oh Ji-ho, etc.

Big whoop - those guys have been blessed w/ the genetic lottery when it comes to looks.

But at this stage, Eric is better actor.

Gee, does that now make me "DISLIKE" KSS, OJH, etc. b/c I just stated that their acting wasn't as good as Eric's (much less the top K-actors?).

Taec is a better looking guy than Eric, but he's a way worse actor - so does that make a "liker" of Taec or a "disliker"?

Too many posters here - get their panties up in a bunch when other people's opinions don't match theirs.

Looks-wise, would put Eric on the level of someone like Gong Yoo.

Does that make a "disliker" of Gong Yoo?

Actually like Gong Yoo tons, but don't let sentiment affect my objective views on things.

And if you had actually comprehended what I had written, you would not have mischaracterized what I had stated.

I never stated that Eric was not a good actor or or that he wasn't good-looking.

He's just not as good of an actor as the very best K-actors or not as good-looking as those who known primarily for their looks.

Haven't followed Eric's rapping w/ Shinhwa closely enough (or that of other K-rappers) to make any judgment, but if someone were to say that there were a no. of K-rappers who were better than Eric - does that automatically make them a "hater"?
