LOLOLOLOLOL OMG I CAN’T EVEN! Sorry for the all caps but this drama casting is either a joke or some casting brain trust at a production company is blind and unable to assess acting ability with this extended offer. K-ent is reporting that MBC has offered Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk leads for its upcoming drama called Come and Hug Me. Dang, I’m going to need major hugs if this casting comes true and I have to watch this drama out of sheer trainwreck curiosity. I love Suzy, don’t get me wrong, I can watch her limited-to-bad acting only half the time.
When it’s limited but in the right character and directorial discretion such as While You Were Sleeping and Dream High then I enjoy it to some degree. But when it’s just plain bad such as in Gu Family Book (oh the horror!) and the first half of Uncontrollably Fond then I just wish she would stop acting until all the stars are aligned. She also needs a very strong male lead and goodness gracious Nam Joo Hyuk is basically the male version of Suzy and this drama with the two of them may have end up being the blind leading the blind. Apparently both stars are considering so let’s hope they consider wisely and one of them declines, doesn’t matter which one.
Come and Hug Me sounds like a romance drama but it’s darker in that the leads find their fates entwined after a murder affects their lives. The drama is scheduled to air sometime in May, likely in the Wed-Thurs time slot but hasn’t been confirmed yet.
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…

Wed-Thur timeslot? Competing with Jang Dong-gun and Park Seo-joon? It's very obvious MBC knows what its doing and its called GIVING UP. Lol. On a positive note, they do match - age, visuals and ACTING SKILLS. So let's anticipate.
This is a combo of bad acting, goodness!. But in a way, I find it funny how people condemn Suzy for not matcing up her leading men's charisma and acting, and now that there is a possibility that she is to be partnered with her male equivalent, still also she is being bashed. Both of them should just settle for supporting roles for now. That's the best thing they should do till they progressed to be deserving to be called "actors".
The criticism is mainly that she hasn't shown herself to be fit for lead roles, the matching her leading men part is a close second.
I agree that both of them really need to step back into supporting roles if they're actually serious about acting and not just doing dramas for cf deals (who are we kidding lol, look at their acting).
Honestly Suzy should stay away from this drama. I think she needs to strong costar due to her lack of acting skill and NJH as we all know is terrible. And to be honest just in terms of star status they don't match. She's a A star whereas he's a B/C star at best. Not to mention his shippers with Lee sung kyung are crazy. I don't understand what she would merit from being in this drama. I know it's not their fault but I cannot bring myself to like NJH and LSK due to their crazy shippers (and their acting too). It was disgusting to see them attack Shin Se Kyung when Bride of Haebak was airing. Idk how people can be so immerse in their shipping culture...
Suzy should not be expecting her co-stars to 'carry' her. If she can't lead her own drama, she should take on supporting roles.
I hate to break it to you but fame > acting skills in K-drama. Choi Hee-seo, who swept film awards last year, is going to play 2nd lead to... Han Ga-in. Probably one of the few actresses whose acting is as bad as Suzy. It's impossible for Suzy to lower herself down to play a supporting role.
Now that all the 1980s male leads have gone to the army or are already committed to a project... time for Suzy to be the bigger star and lead her own drama. Hahaha.
Yeah, let's see how her dramas do without a more talented/famous costar for her to piggyback on.
So who is going to do the acting in the drama
Gasp! That's the obvious question here ?
Maybe they will cast some not so popular actor but good at acting. Who knows.
Are they trying to see who acts worst between the two.........Dear God, yes visuals are stunning but rest is hollow here.
Ah okay...so...who is going to do the acting for this drama?
Looks like they need a solid pair of second male and female leads to hard carry the drama.
The criticism just so funny. You have not even watch the drama yet. It’s like every actors perform the same it every drama. If you don’t like the pairing then watch another drama.
Another comment which is also funny - Suzy is an A lister. lol
she is not an A lister though
She is though.
One of the biggest names in drama-land among actresses in their 20s. Only Park Shinhye, Park Boyoung and Kim Taeri are bigger.
She is one of the biggest jokes ??????....
@Jung search what means be an A listen then we talk lmao
Lmao I know what an A-lister is though. It's just that i-fans hate her so much they don't realise how popular she really is in Korea.
Doesn’t matter. They will win top excellence award at the end of year awards. I think they match brilliantly- looks, acting and company backing. Please accept the drama both of you.
