Hwang Jung Eum is a Spazz Opposite Stoic Ryu Jun Yeol in Second Teaser for Lucky Romance

View Comments

• She doesn't appear /as/ spazzy as she was in She Was Pretty. So I won't get annoyed y e t.

  I don't care if RJY's character is stoic. I just don't want him to be a straight up jerk like Park Seo Joon's was.

• I don't really blame Park Seo Joon for being a jerk in SWP. I thought her character was pretty dumb for not being upfront with him in the first place, any guy would be as frustrated as he was being tossed into such a situation.

  I am disappointed she isn't playing a character like in Secret. I want to see her in a melodrama again. Three times in a role playing similar characters....eh....

• Kind of a weird promo but I agree she's not as spastic as she was in KMHM or SWP...so far.

  Also why does LSH'a face look slightly off? Please please don't tell me he messed with his face. I miss his styling in High School King :(

• I don't think the characters are the same,as i noticed, although the time frame between characters are at a very short span ,I think we can see diff characteristic bet them,ORJ is a tomboy and loud when crying,KHJ is all womanly and very subtle when she cry,this new character may also have distinct char to her.I'm ready for this.If this drama offers the same hilarity as SWP,I am so in,the Kdrama world is very dull these days.

  • Maybe check out Oh Hae Young again. I haven't been able to watch it but it's got nothing but rave reviews from i-kdrama fans and k-netizens.

    • Thanks chingu for the recommendation, I am actually watching it, but I find some comedy parts pale even crying scenes.Maybe I'm used to some HJE comedy where there is a lot of energy and intensity where I laughed really hard,I never laughed hard on OHY(sorry)and some crying scenes in my opinion is forced.But definitely, I love the story ,i keep on watching it,but the actress is pale in comparison to HJE (this is only my opinion,don't throw stones on me)

    • Oh Hae Young again is GOLD. Love the story, the directing, actings and cinematography. All characters are so charming even the side characters. And OSTs are lovely. I addicted to see Seo Hyun Jin-Eric's love story to develop more. I like monday now, thanks to Oh Hae Young^^.

• It's funny how you labelled it's stoic for Ryu Junyeol while he suho is more jerk and snobby than junghwan.
  Stop playing as if you knowtal. You sounds like desperate hater like another junghwan haters

  • chill, she never said she hate him.
    .

• I just hope she doesn't scream or yell too much, it's very annoying to see her like that.

  • +100000

  • AMEN MY FRIEND, AMEN!!!!

  • Sigh...She made me stop watching kmhm.

• Koala trying to burst people's bubble as usual. Maybe you were too engrossed in Bogum's character in Reply 88 to notice and label Junyeol's new character the same as Junghwan.

  If I were you, I'd be more concerned about his drama not having secured second male lead yet and having to go against Scarlet Heart tbh.

  • God lately l've noticed that RJY/ junghwan followers tend to be psycho. Can someone explain why people who like that actor tend to issue forth abrasive and illogical comments all over the place? I haven't even watched answer me 1988 yet, but I almost want to defend people who like that show just because commenters who support the character junghwan tend to spam comment sections everywhere with rude and tone deaf remarks. I'm not accusing all RJY fans ... But it's a true fact that I can't seem to escape a website or post without a comment like the one above.

    • Well, you should watch it! Though you are so lucky it's over because at least you don't have to be hit over and over by the Book of SunTaek theories! Where all other opinions don't matter, but theirs! Then again they do love re-watches and might just hit certain comment sections with their endless, colorful commentaries! Darn so maybe you won't be able to escape it! AW Shucks! Anyways Happy Watching!;)

    • you may check bogum fans twitter. they called Junyeol as animal thing and calling his name too...see that yourself and tell me who's psycho one

    • try to check bogum fans twitter too. they're even worse. calling junyeol with animal thing, namecalling junyeol, mocking him personally. so, whos the psycho now

    • God even if I want to enjoy a RJY drama his too enthusiastic fans won't let it happen lol. Such a turn off lol.

  • LOL! Why so salty? You clearly just can't move on from him not getting the girl in Reply 1988 to not see that in these previews (at least), he is indeed playing another tsundere character like Junghwan.

    And please! Your idol is turning 30. He may be seen as a rookie but with his breakout this year he will be up for roles against actors his same age range. Bogum falls in a completely different bracket (ie The 93-liner "It" guys) and his team knows it, thus his role in a TEEN historical drama. Also, rom-com is such an easy sell, no need to be blatantly insecure about it!

    • and what it had to do with the age LMAO.

    • romcom is easy to sell yes..especially romcom in teenage historical drama.
      and whats with the age? you mean junyeol should catagorize as older role..
      You want to be compare with Yeo Jingoo ?? while i see that Bogum role is the same role with Yoo jingoo's role too in Jackpot. and Yoo jingoo is 18th years old and win Blue Dragon award already...

    • arent BOgum is 24? isnt he too old being teenager ?

    • Oh, Grace. Chill out. Do you really have to reply in threes? Are you really that incensed? And what? Yeo Jingoo? Huh? ??? Are you going to drag any actor that you think will be a threat to your oppa? Geez.

      Yes, Junyeol is older. And he looks his age as well. It's evident after Reply that he's gravitated towards roles that suits his age (ie Lucky Romance). Bogum looks like a teen, he's baby-faced. Of course his roles tend to be on the younger side as well even though he's 22 (international age). And really, the K-entertainment scene don't even group them together outside the fact that they both starred in Reply. Bogum is in league with other 93-liners may it be actor or idol. So those still stuck with that husband rivalry are the only ones comparing them.

      And yes, even a teen HISTORICAL drama is a harder sell than contemporary rom-com because the "stiffness" of the medium (language, etc.) is considered a barrier to modern-day audiences. And besides, there's no more safer net than an established star than Hwang Jung Geum. So, let go of your worries, stop being insecure and stop dragging other actors down just to let your oppa look good.

• I do like her when she isn't over the top. Her acting is the same in the past few dramas she's done. If you were to put any of the characters she played in KMHM, SWP and this one, you couldn't even tell that they were different characters. Just loud and ditzy. Stick to melos, please HJE.

  • Although you have some point there, that lately her characters are the same(but I think not totally),sticking to melo is probably not her option.Maybe,she wanted to do melos but unfortunately nothing caches her attention nor passed her standard for a good melo. She rejected a lot ofupcoming and current dramas and this LR probably is the finest among them and unfortunately ,it is a romcom again.I think we viewers have no right to complain,coz we have the choice,it is either we watch it or skip it.

  • Yeah, I saw some clip of KMHM online the other day with her and Park Seo Joon and I thought it was from a SWP episode I had missed.

• Come on let's not accuse anyone of being a Junyeol-anti/Bogum-fangirl or w/e (wow I can't believe this is still going on...) let's leave the fanwars along with R88 (saying this as someone who is far far up Junyeol's ass) ... but I agree though that Suho is no way the same as Junghwan. I've been following most updates of this drama and I get the impression that he's more an awkward nerd vs. a tsundere teenager (I could be wrong later on if I am nevermind lol) ....seeing as they changed some things I hope they don't stray toooo far from the webtoon character (personality wise anyways) bc Taekhoo was hilarious

  Also I get HJE can be annoying to some but I love her and will watch literally anything she's in

  • +100 (ahaha +infinity more for the ass comment)
    people are so quick to label tbh.
    i agree that this character doesn't seem very similar to jung hwan's character in 1988. the first teaser where he gave her a condescending look after catching her sneaking up on him kind of alluded to that but the more teasers i see the more i'm convinced that suho is totally different from tsundere jung hwan.

    • right???... ok I was skeptical about Suho too at first (I admit first teaser was very JungHwan) but was soooold once I saw those cute round specs in the character photoshoots.... but sadly I haven't been seeing them in any of the other previews... hopefully they make a comeback!!

  • But it's true that one commenter is trying to start another fan war here by dragging 'other's name' that wasn't even mentioned in this article and by salty comment at that.

    • Yes of course, hence why I said "let's leave the fanwars in R88". It wont help either if people respond to them with hostility (but i guess i can't blame y'all if you do... that person needs to relax lmao but please, easy on the Junyeol dragging...). It really is unfortunate tho that someone who's not even mentioned in the post OR related to the topic AT ALL is being dragged...... idk what that even accomplishes tbh ... :/ I'm so tired....

• Among all her dramas as a leading lady, I think she's the best in Secret Love. HJE is actually very good at melo. But I don't know why she's been doing mostly rom com recently.

  • I really love to see her in another vehicle like secret, but maybe there is no melodrama been offered to her that passed her standard.We know how meticulous HJE in choosing script for her drama and probably no melos catches her attention right now.She rejected many dramas this year Ithink (monster & Bu bu xin remake?)so there is no much offered to her table and she just grabbed the most delicious to her taste.

    • Scarlet Heart wasn't offered to her and Monster OSY's role isn't anything to die for so I'm glad she turned that down. The agent girl is much more fun in Monster and so is the spoiled brat. And good melos are rare now-a-days. They somehow turn into a basic rom-com in the middle or at the end. So, maybe nothing good never went her way so she had to settle for a fun romcom again.
