It’s a testament to just how awesome an actor Song Joong Ki is that his Kang Maru in Nice Guy is so emotionally loathsome and yet I still haven’t call it quits with the drama. Yes, the drama is excellently directed and the story has flashes of brilliance, but having two of the three leads be complete and utter human dreck does make for a painful viewing experience. Ultimately we all need someone in the story to root for otherwise it becomes an exercise in futility. So far the only main character to come across as decent is Moon Chae Won‘s Seo Eun Gi, which actually seems even more terrifying since she’s stuck between formerly self-sacrificing and Jae Hee-obsessed Maru and scum of the earth Jae Hee. It’s like she steps in crap either ways she turns. But there is a silver lining that I’m so happy a lot of people are noticing, which is Eun Gi’s guardian angel oppa Park Joon Ha played by Lee Sang Yeob. He’s like a beacon of goodness in a world populated with broken and damanged people. I find him totally underused (raise your hand if Jae Gil and Choco should be written off the show and their screen time devoted to Joon Ha) yet he’s stealing hearts with his understated and lovely character. I have yet to see Joon Ha flash the trademark Sang Yeob smile that has been known to melt Koalas’ hearts everywhere, but hopefully Eun Gi will dump Maru soon and go to Joon Ha. Knowing the drama, likely Maru will have a course correction soon that’ll make it easier to relate to him, but until then, we can all enjoy a little more Joon Ha in our lives. Sang Yeob totally stole my heart in I Live in Cheongdamdong and is continuing to do so in NG. Below are some of his recent magazine pictures as well as two fantastic ILICDD MVs so everyone can appreciate him more.

*raises hand* yesssss oh yessss Jae Gil and Choco should be written off ASAP. I love Lee Kwang Soo but his character and that girl's character... its just pointless.
In the midst of my mini rant, I forgot to add - Lee Sang Yeob deserves more air time in NG
I raise my hand and concur on all points.
Hands in the air!
Hands and feet in the air! That counts for double, right?! ^^
It's my first time seeing him in NG.I didn't know him before.But I was immediately Drawn to him and his character,the very first moment he appeared in Episode one.And I really do like him.I also wish that he'd have some more Screen time.And I really wish that Seo Eun Gi just choose him at last but we know that can hardly happen.
MCW hasn't impressed me so far in Mr Nice Guy. She's hamming a bit.
SJK is the saving grace and the only reason to watch this otherwise mediocre drama. Mr Nice Guy has not lived up to expectations.
And yes, LSY is very likable....very pleasant. It's almost a relief to see his scenes because the rest of the characters are all so unlikable and unpleasant.
Sang Yeob-shi!!! The MV on SY and HW cracked me up. There was an episode about JE being able to spot HW in a crowd/building and such and the MV made me realize that SY was totally doing that since the beginning!!
To bad 1st video doesn't work. My, my..this is adorable!
when do you think will Maru come to his senses, Unnie? :( I cant bear watching him still lingering for that worthless Jae hee?
four thumbs up to jae gil and choco write off
and maaaaaaaaaaaaawr oppa sang yeob screentime!
