The somnambulant progress of SBS Mon-Tues drama Temperature of Love is about to get a much needed but likely too brief sizzle shot. Actress Park Shin Hye will be making a cameo appearance in the drama as a favor to screenwriter Ha Myung Hee after they worked on the highly rated Doctors together last year. Park Shin Hye will be rearranging her schedule for the cameo filming taking place next week, which means her scene will likely not be shown until the week thereafter.
The problem for me on Temperature is neither leads are all that interesting as characters, and frankly not terribly likable as well. Seo Hyun Jin is wound up too tight and too self-absorbed, Yang Se Jong is like a wet rag both the character and his acting, Jo Boa is just annoying and shrill, and Kim Jae Wook is the most engaging presence but can’t pull everything up to his level. This leaves Park Shin Hye’s cameo hopefully one that is worth her involvement in an interesting scene or interaction because the drama has a whole is even more boring than screenwriter Ha’s last misfire High Society which at least had two interesting second leads and their own romance.
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…
Oh what a great surprise! This drama was announced two years ago and I've long…

Seriously miss her in dramaland.
Has she been offered any projects at all?
Of course she has been offered, behind the scenes. She gets scripts and she reads them through, just like many on demand actors out there. A lot of the casting shenanigans happen behind the doors, and we regular people will only get to see the snippets
I never questioned if she gets offered. She is one of the biggest actresses of her generation and has big demand internationally too.
My question would be if she is done with her break yet
no chemistry between two leads, stopped watching after 1st episode..
I used to enjoy reading your blog but it's like you have an agenda..which seems to be to take the opposite position to whatever dramabeans likes...your blog has become so negative and unpleasant to read..sort yourself out...I will no longer to be coming here...
Same here.
Just because Dramabeans been giving positive reviews on Temperature of Love while AKP not, that does not mean Mdm Koala has an agenda against DB.
Both DB and AKP appreciates WYWS and LUTYN.
Temperature of Love is BORINGGGGGGGGG
And basically most dramas airing right now are boring. Nothing interesting. Period.
Drama beans makes very negative reviews about Hospital Ship and Koala isn't praising the show either. Convenient of you to forget that. If you're an anti of this blog just leave. No one will miss you here.
I am not an anti of anything nor have I ever felt the need to comment on a blog post but when ockoala describes the acting of the male lead as "like a wet rag" it's frankly so ridiculous and incongruous with what any sane person can see on screen and I say that as a casual watcher of kdramas not as a yang sejong stan which I am not...it's ok to not like certain kdramas as we all have different tastes but this feels like a hit piece and it's just so negative and unpleasant to read...
@sheryl: I don't often agree with Koala but she is allowed to have her opinion, especially on her own blog. She came around a few times before for some actors when the right project hit her. It's just not this one for JSY
Ha ha ha as if DB doesn't have an agenda LOL
Koala and DB agree on plenty of dramas, but even if they didn't, why is that a problem?
There's been plenty of times when I've seen DB go crazy over what were pretty mediocre dramas, and it's refreshing to see Koala offer an opinion more in line with my own. And if she likes dramas DB dislikes, well I don't see anything negative about that.
If you disagree with Koala's opinion on a drama, you're free to express why. Even for shows with positive review with WYWS, there's still plenty of people vehemently expressing their dislike in the comments section and no one stops them. You could throw a tantrum like you are now, but you're not important enough for people to care that you're not coming back.
With or without PSH coming in for a visit ... I LIKE and am still enjoying Temperature of Love.
Different strokes for diff folks. I am also enjoying "wet-rag Yang Se-jong, while NOT ever enjoying Ha Ji-won too much in anything (esp NOT in current Hospital Ship)
He's portrayal is not glitzy and showy, thankfully. Low profile sincere and genuinely serious about whatever he undertakes, and WITHOUT Ego (how refreshing).
I like how he's portraying the character - consistent. He doesn't send out mixed signals, nor goes overboard trying to be charming or smarmy. Somewhat disillusioned and cynical by the farce of his parents' relationships (including mom's current), hoping to rise above it and trying to remain unscathed by it all.
He's certainly not a wet rag in terms of acting. It's just disappointing that his acting is being targeted so harshly. And those who haven't watched the show will be put off by how it's described so badly.
It's because he's acting with SHJ as a lead so people will have certain standards and expectations
Why can't he be targeted? All female actress who can't act often judged pretty harshly and often people act as if that's okayl. Why can't we critized a male counterpart with the same cinisme? The fact is he is really really bad. Especially when he act stand next to a superior actress it's become too apparent.
For me, a cameo doesn't make or break a drama.
I'm also one of the minority here who like TOL. It's more slice of life with characters written in a genuine manner. However those who prefer fantasy or loud dramas may find that boring. To each his or her own.
As I commented in an earlier post, those who were prejudiced about the casting from the start would continue to find faults, those of us with an open mind would keep watching #hatersgonnahate
@missjb, who is that superior actress? Seo Hyun Jin? Well, she's good but not superior. Just typical korean actress. Sorry but I think she's too overrated by her fans. That's why I feel bland to watch this drama and leave it.
Nice of PSH to cameo for this writer but, truthfully I don’t think it will be long enough to help this script move along much.
A cameo mostly is just a blink or you'll miss it scene. The most disappointing one's are scenes as a bank teller. So it's quite rare for a cameo to even help the script move along. Unless one can call Kim So Hyun's special guest appearance in WYWS as a cameo.
All the cameos in Doctors were at least 2 episodes long just to remind you. NGM was in 3 episodes just like KSH in WYWS. Most cameos are not blink and miss if they've been pre planned and written into the script with special meaning.
Didn't watch Doctors so I had no idea about NGM's 3 episode cameo. If that would be the case with PSH's cameo, I'm all for it.
I don't think PSH will have much screentime since she's doing a cameo, not a longer guest appearance. If her appearance is longer then she should just marry kim jae wook abd save him from ToL
Yeayy! Can't wait for thaatt episode ?
meh
Wow! Such harsh criticism! Are we being harsh just to sound cool? I enjoy constructive negative criticism as much as the next person. But criticism that sounds redundant just leaves me shaking my head.
Agree. Their acting is good actually, their characters and dialogues are not. Dragging a lot.
The drama isn't great but I'm excited for Park Shinhye's appearance.
When will she have her next drama?
I dropped the drama after 2nd episode. Too old fashioned lol. Seo Hyun Jin's acting is so similar for how many times already. And the lead guy is too stoic remind me Lee Jin Wook who is handsome but lack of acting skill.
