It’s quite a feat to pull off for a star to look better completed laid bare than fully decked out, so kudos to Im Shi Wan for leaving on such a visual high note. The idol actor, who in recent years has gained more acclaim for his second job than his primary boy band ZE:A membership, signed in for mandatory military duty today just as his upcoming sageuk drama A King Loves readies for premiere next week. I’m very vastly underwhelmed with his unappealing sageuk styling in that drama, the overly large head band and the high half pony does him no good so it’s such a happy surprise to see him looking so manly and handsome on enlistment day. The buzz cut looks fantastic on him in a way very few Korean actors and idols pulled off since getting buzzed usually reveals a head smaller than suits the tall muscular frame but in Im Shi Wan case he has quite a sturdy noggin so the whole image is proportional and quite appealing. Wishing him a healthy and productive service period and hopefully A King Loves ends up being a good drama to send him off on a high note.
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…

Yummy.
I'm so used to thinking of him as puppylike Jang Geu Rae that it's a surprise seeing him all manly like this! I hope his service goes well and he comes back to an even better acting career, boy has major potential even if he lacks leading-man height.
Yes! I'm amazed he's so well developed. I thought he was of slight build.
He looks so much better with a buzz and a t-shirt.
Almost unrecognisable. But he looks so good this way.
