Seeing this particular award-winning foursome of Korean actors and actresses together just makes me feel that one of these things is not like the others. Of course I mean Lee Byung Hun for being the multiple award-winning veteran and also much older than the rising young stars besides him Park So Dam, Park Jung Min, and Kim Tae Ri. The four were among the winners at the 2016 Blue Dragon Film Awards – Lee Byung Hun for Best Actor for Inside Men, Park So Dam was Best Supporting Actress for The Priests, Park Jung Min won Best New Actor for Dongju: The Portrait of a Poet, and Kim Tae Ri took home Best New Actress for The Handmaiden. I’m covering this event due to major curiosity over how Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Ri are going to mesh as romantic December-May romance leads in Kim Eun Sook‘s next big budget period K-drama Mr. Sunshine. Maybe it’s a good thing the two were standing far apart because at first glance Kim Eun Sook is going to have to work triple overtime to sell this romance to me.

i think her name is kim tae ri, not lee tae ri
Kim Taeri really looks like her daughter in those photos. Yuck!
*his
Hahaha why do I feel Park So Dam seems to fit better as female lead to Lee Byung Hun than Kim Tae Ri? Maybe KES should have casted Park So Dam instead.
LOL and to think that people are also throwing stomes at Lee Sun Kyun and IU for another new tvN drama...
both dramas are criticised for the same reason
people actually calming down cause both drama hasn't specifically said if there is love line between the male lead and the female lead
None of them, please. LBH could be both of their father considering his age. The idea is gross, unless they act so well, that the age difference won’t be too disturbing. Kinda like Alan Rickman and Kate Winslet in Sense and Sensibility.
Kim Tae Ri it is. Not Lee.
Unless LBH and she have married and she decided to take on his name!!
Find Kim Tae Ri very pretty especially because she leaves her tresses naturally rather than going for those bangs and straight hair that almost every other actress has. And no seeming plastic surgery to look like one of those assembly line made models of K Ent and Even J ent.
She is very refreshing, look wise.
knowing his real personality, I just cant.... ?
sorry kes..this one will be a miss
I still wish Yoo Yeon Suk was the main lead.Lee Santa?.
Kim tae ri is really gorgeous and talented to boot.curious to see how her career will pann out. I am expecting a lot from her and the 3 Kim's in future.
Oh no.what is wrong and kes. I can't watch goblin before and here comes another one. Btw koala.. Yeh is coming to screen tomorrow. Yay!
KIM Tae Ri is a promising actress, she is natural and beautiful so she’s got the looks and talent. Obviously she deserves better than KES drama with Lee Byung Hun. I predict that dumb international k-drama fans are going to call her a bad actress because of Mr. Sunshine because we all know how KES has the skill to make shitty female leads. Kim Go Eun did perfectly fine before Goblin, but in Goblin I couldn’t stand her cringey acting and character, although I much preferred her emotional scenes Gong Yoo’s somehow. Good thing is that before Mr. Sunshine she had a significant role in a critically acclaimed, Oscar tier film. From the pictures and the idea of her romancing with Lee Byung Hun sounds gross enough even without the added factor that he is a sleaze. He could honestly be her father and KES is bold enough to make them romance. I secretly really want Mr. Sunshine to not exceed the ratings and buzz expectation so KES will fall flat.
Are you talking about Kim Go Eun's movie A Muse? I freaking hate that movie. So gross. Eww...
@Humor
No, I wasn’t talking about A Muse. I was talking about how KGE did fine even before Goblin. She was good in CITT. Although she didn’t get the essence of the webtoon Hong Seol, her interpretation was very nice. Her performance in Coin Locker Girl was her best to date. Her performance in Memories of the Sword wasn’t the greatest. The film wasn’t good, but her shortcomings were too obvious next to Lee Byung Hun and Jeon Do Yeon. A Muse was interesting in a way because it was her debut, she was only 21 back then and she managed to shine even next to Par Hae Il. That movie was heavily from the male protagonists point of view and it was filmed from a male gaze. Even if the film tried to explore the themes of poetry, youth and sexuality, it failed as a whole because it never explored the female protagonists point of view. It wasn’t bad because of the salacious parts, it was bad because it lacked depth. But KGE’s acting was good for a debut actress.
@cahill, ??
No but really, I feel like a bad girl for wishing Mr. Sunshine to fail because it would be sad for the production team and of course Kim Taeri because it’s her debut in drama and there are a lot of expectations on her. But at the same time I despise how KES dramas become so popular even though they are so BAD. KES must be thinking that she is some sort of a writing God so she really needs to have a reality check.
@prettyautumn, we are "bad girls" because i secretly want Mr Sunshine to be a flop too. KES needs to taste humility.
There is no way KES + LBH + this cast is going to fail. Just look at Park Shi Hoo’s KBS weekend drama has hit the highest rating this year. Wait till the buzz comes out and everyone will be drooling over LBH and he gets his commercial revenue back. ?
