• Why can’t she just be an idol? Why must she be pushed to acting when she’s not good at it? Why is she/JYP so greedy and want to act as the female lead, why isn’t second lead or side character enough? She’s pretty, sweet and has a nice down to earth aura and she’d manage excellently just as an idol and in varieties. Why does she need to act when she initially didn’t even have a passion for it and even cried in the van because she had to act as a female lead in Dream High??

  • She has been coasting on the hallyu stars(kim woo bin,lee jong suk, kim soo hyun) to cover up her mediocre acting skills and have her "actress image" and writer park hye run is to be credited for two of her dramas.

    But all these young hallyu stars are being drafted to the army.This means she will be potentially paired up with the more senior actors if they intend to return to dramaland i.e the Gong Yoo, Jo In Sung, Song Joong Ki, Kim Rae Won etc...and if she continue half-assing her way through acting, the comments arent going to be so kind because not only her fans will be watching the dramas.

    • She obviously isn’t GY, JIS, SJK and KRW caliber... she definitely is following the Kim Tae Hee path

  • Just came here after listening 'Here Come the Regrets' by Epik High featuring Lee Hi. After listening to Lee Hi I doubt anybody will even consider Suzy a singer. IU is also good in EH's album.
    She is best at being nice and pretty girl. Acting and dare I say even singing is not her forte.
    By constantly giving hollow praises to Suzy koala is loosing her credibility.

  • @prettyautumn one of the rare occasions I fully agree with what you say.
    Suzy should stick to her day job of singing, at least she is passable in that, instead of inflicting her 'acting' on everyone. She should make an effort to improve her acting. Is it because she can't or simply don't bother to as she can bank on her pretty visuals?

• She is so damn gorgeous! A visual treat! Love her in WYWS so much!

  • I dunno...personally I don't think she's that pretty. She has short eyebrows, her eyes are average, and she has an overbite also.

  • I don't know, for me, charisma is definitely a selling point too to look someone as pretty, And on screen, she doesn't has it. Her looks absolutely beautiful in picture. But there are other more beautiful actress I will look for physical wise and body language on screen, because they have so much charisma. And I don't mean acting. For example, Go Seung Hee is definitely more beautiful to look at for me.

• Not only has her acting but her singing and dancing skills seemes to have improved a lot too. I was pleasantly surprised to see her performance in JYP's Party People. She might lack a bit in natural skills but she makes it up purely by hard work and effort. Have to give her that....

  Also her hair mystery. She definitely cut it off in the drama, and it's just been a few months since the drama wrapped up shooting. No way it grew so fast, must be extentions,her hairdresser did a good job because it looks natural.

  • I have been wondering this for months ... which hairstyle is the wig ... long or short?? They both look natural to me.

    • Her long hair,it must be extensions because there was an article about how the scene in 'While you were sleeping' where she chops off her hair was real. And I don't think her hair can grow so fast.

      Her extensions look really natural,don't they?

  • I was wandering same too. The hair look so natural.

• She's a mediocre singer. Her songs are boring

• She should stick to singing, her singing is better than her acting.

• Her voice is really gorgeous. I love her song for the WYWS OST.

  As to the hair, lol, they sure have some great hairdressers in Korea. She really did chop her hair, and there's no way it could have grown out that much since then. But whatever extensions she may have, it looks totally natural.

• @prettyautumn - short answer: because her main job now is endorsements, actors get paid more than idols for CFs and so that is why she will continue to inflict herself on dramas - to get CF $$$ by having an 'actor image'.

  It should be noted it's not impossible for idols to book CF money, IU is primarily a musician and still has a three-year running soju endorsement. But it's certainly the easy way out for idols like Suzy, and why not if you can coast on your early success and have never had to audition for a role in your life, and get star writers like Lee Kyung Hee and Park Hye Ryun to write around the lack of acting skills.

  • Hmm.. actors’ careers are longer and they’re more visible to a wider audience rather than idol fans, unless we are talking about nation’s musicians like Big bang. G-dragon hasn’t taken up acting but his Shinsegae endorsement deal alone was a million dollar contract, same as Jun Ji Hyun's

  • The other thing is, she is a "jack of many trades and master of none.She is mediocre in almost all of them.I do think JYP or maybe even Suzy herself knows that.Singing.If you put her against Taeyeon, Eunji(who are girls from girl groups as well) and even IU.She falls short if she were to push hard as a solo artist.CF/endorsements especially for females has no longetivity.Only takes one major scandal, marriage or simply being replaced by a new young artist(unfortunate but true) unless you are Jun Ji Hyun or Song Hye Kyo and these have actual acting skills to back them up.

    Personally, I do find her personality to be quite on the bland side.Not bad but not unique either, but if she pushed to be in more variety.She would do well since all the ones she has guested in, usually have high ratings so she would be just fine.She is also a great editorial and beauty model.So if JYP really is looking out for her future, identify her strengths and focus on her developing a monopoly on them.Instead of just pasting her everywhere especially acting which is her weakest skill.

• No matter how koala, soompi or her fans gas up this girl as an actress.This girl's talent is not in acting.She has been acting for 7 years already.All her fans, can say is that "she is improving".""netizens complimented her acting"(which is more likely that the majority of those comments are also from her fans).

  She is like a young Kim Tae Hee...incredibly hyped up for their beauty, rich because of advertisements and modelling.Very very uncharismatic as actresses.They can have moments when they shine in dramas.But they cant contain that consistent acting throughout the drama.

  • Agreed. Her improvement is only a tiny one. WYWS is a pre-produced drama and PHR knows how to write around Suzy’s flaws. Her acting leaves so much to desire. At least WYWS visuals and scenery are pretty. I’m really at the verge of dropping it, but I’ll give it a chance for Jung Hae In. Honestly, even Temperature of Love is more interesting, but that’s maybe because I’m Kim Jae Wook bias..

    • tbh your obsession with lee ddochi made u stick.

    • @ommo, can you imagine how I stuck with this drama even when both of the drama leads are showing mediocre to bad acting AND they have like no chemistry? :)

    • I don't think so. Who cares with your opinion.

    • @ommo, well starters, no one cares about YOUR irrelevant little opinions :)

  • I can't watch anything with Suzy as the lead. She is HORRIBLE as an actress. Period. And until today, I blame her for me dropping UF when I adored Kim Woo Bin so much.

• I have nothing against Suzy, in fact, I find her very pretty with a sweet aura. Her acting is good at times but lacks emotional depth. There are far better actresses than Suzy in the industry who are being sidelined just because they are older and have less CF potential compared to younger actresses. It really sucks to be a 30+ actress in Korea.

• Just stick to or go back to where she comes from, no acting please. Feel pity for those real actress. Opportunity being ripe off by those so called singer actress?!
