I love Lee Jun Ki so much that I’ll even accept his triggering of a memory I desperately want to forgot. Lee Jun Ki was in Taiwan over the weekend and showed up as a surprise guest at IU‘s concert in Taipei. This reunion of the Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo OTP generated the opposite of squees from me in terms of feeling zilch for their onscreen narrative and/or chemistry. But as singers both are extremely talented and that avenue makes me happy to see them collaborate on stage.
Lee Jun Ki not only showed up at the concert, he even donned his best Phantom of the Opera black cape impersonation and got on stage to hold said cape over IU as she sang her track from the Moon Lovers OST. I did not get 4th Prince and Hae Soo vibes from this performance, more Vegas show antics, but in the grander scheme of things I’m glad the drama made him so insanely popular again and likewise maybe IU will now stick to singing.
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…
If Wang Xing Yue ever needs extra money he can be a professional dubber for…

Heavy on the backhanded comment on IU lol smh
IU was terribly miscast, she is not bad but essentially still learning how to act. I didn't get their epic love in the show but glad to see that the cast has bonded so well. And it foes look like a vegas show antic, agreed.
aww. so cute. She even gave him a peck on the cheek!
Well in real life they seem so comfortable together with the hug and what looks like a kiss on the cheek. Looks like the crowd got a kick out of it. I'm glad to see they are supporting each other.
For the most part, I am greatly annoyed by the love story in Moon Lovers. I actually rewatched the drama and fast forward all scenes of the OTP. But I am glad to see the casts seem to establish lifelong friendship from here esp the bromance between LJK-KHN-HJH. And LJK sure knows how to capitalize from his new-found popularity by appearing in IU's concert.
Btw, I watched the video and no, she did not give him a peck on the cheek, they only hugged.
I really admire LJK's acting in Moon Lovers but in real life he comes across as, er, not really likeable. Maybe just to me, sorry. Just watched him on TV when he came yesterday to Taiwan and did a press conference. Too much posturing, acting dramatic in the way he talked and gesticulated. I like Park Bo Jum from Moon Drawn Clouds. Much more sincere and genuine in person.
For me Park Bo Gum is plastic and yeah he's gay.
Wait... whaaat? You guys are so childish, as long as the actor please us and present best acting onscreen, who are we to judge them personally? smh
Yeah, I notice too, PBG aura is like that of No MinWoo, I don't know ,I just knew and my instinct had never been wrong.Don't hate me, just my opinion.I am not a fan of PBG and deffinetly not an anti.Anyway not interested in him ^-^.
to everyone who reads the above comment: do not engage! There's no reason to give anyone attention for trolling!
That's testament of how good an actor he is that you can't see his real life personality because he completely morphed into his drama's character. LJK is easy going, cheerful, hyper-active in real life but in no way is he insincere. He could continue to play cool like Wang So as that's how the fans became interested in him but he is not. I accept your opinion and preference but better not to mention other actor here. I could easily reasoned out that PBG's being such a cry baby a bit OTT and this will lead to endless fan war.
+1
Boy, he welled up too much at KBS Awards. Whatever happened to masculinity these days? If that's not dramatic, idk what that is.
Sorry, but what you did by dragging other actor here (ie. PBG) will only backlash to him and not in a good way.
It's the other way round for me.
Lee Jun Ki's acting doesn't work for me. Too much posturing and being overly dramatic. He also comes across as vain and concerned about how he looks on screen. But all I am reading is that he's a very nice guy who cares for his fans and communicates well with them. I've watched the interview and don't see anything wrong. He's probably the type who's not shy, hyper, playful and animated which fans will find entertaining.
It's so odd to read this because I find that LJG is actually more candid and open than most Korean actors who are constantly worried about faux scandals and criticisms from fans.
I just take LJG's enthusiasm or "acting dramatic" as his excitement to be around fans and because he's an entertainer so it's what he does. I think none of know what any of these people are like when the cameras are turned off.
Wow, way to judge a person. You see, there is no need to badmouth someone who you SEEM isn't likeable and compare by dragging other actor's names. After all, it will be all about each other's preferences. Cut the negativities.
OK. Points taken.
I actually liked the rain scene in Moon Lovers, that episode was one of the few things the drama didn't screw up.
This does look more like Vegas show antics than that scene but I have no problem with it, just hope IU picks a better role next time and that Jun Ki picks a better project.
also, I want IU's shoes. Are those Christian Louboutins?
Lol. Red soles and yeah, she sure could afford that.
Looks like Vegas Magic Show. And why Jun Ki? Why the hairstyle? He looked so dashing at SBS Drama Awards with the hair combed back. The shipper thread was on fire last nite with Jun Ki's appearance but seriously, I think he is just playing his part to feed the fandom since I could not feel the epic love story at all and my watching Moon Lovers only for my love of Wang So.
