One of the consistent highlights in Uncontrollably Fond was second male lead Im Joo Hwan, playing the daddy long legs character to Suzy and the stuck in the middle older brother to Kim Woo Bin. He even had great chemistry with crazy second female lead Im Joo Eun, as well as the veterans playing his power grabby parents. He basically had chemistry with a towel in this drama and that’s quite a feat when narratively it was inconsistent and the directing was equally all over the place. He was the steady stream flowing with emotional richness and everything happening around him out of his control. It was a return to form for Im Joo Hwan many years after his most memorable performance in Tamra the Island. Better late than never, cutie pie, and an additional kudos for dropping such a visually impeccable photo spread for Arena Magazine.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
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…

Talented and Hot. But I still can't get over the horrendous wig they had him wear for Shine or Go Crazy. We complain about the wigs in some of the recent sageuks but that one.... *shudder*
He was the only one character I liked in UF with his father who was so most interesting.
He's really a great actor, I hope he will a good drama.
UNDERRATED. He doesn't have the IT factor maybe that's why people don't go gaga over him but he's GOOD. I hope he finds his breakout role or at least his own niche where he can shine.
I love his performance in almost every show. And best of all I love that he covered his ankles with socks!
Love him. For me, his most memorable performance was in Ugly Alert. Gah-- the feels!
Oh man, he was soooooo great in Ugly Alert.
I disagree the directing is all over the place in UF. Far from it. It's so solid throughout. For me one of the best think in UF. And I'm Jo Hwan is not only one of the highlight. Agree to disagree i guess.
Ugly Alert was worth all those hours because of Im Joo Hwan. I hope he gets another chance to be a lead in a drama.
his best performance to me was when he played a blind man in auction house
Do you think YEH and IJH would have chemistry? She needs to be with someone she is attracted to. How's that for a left field question. Just saw her pic.at the top of the page and got me to wondering. ?
this dude never ages!!!!!! gorgeous as always!
