I’m going to keep my expectations low for upcoming SBS rom-com The Undateables (Handsome Guy and Jung Eum) because the two teasers so far are really frustrating watching leading lady Hwang Jung Eum. She’s like the opposite of male lead Namgong Min known for his very subtle acting and poker face, whereas she’s like Gumby over enunciating and being annoyingly dramatic. If that’s her character that’s fine, and honestly she did the same type of performance in Kill Me, Heal Me during all the comedic sections but I ended up loving her overall because she nailed the serious and heartfelt scenes. So if the sum of the whole works here in the end it will be a big relief because this reunion of the Can You Hear My Heart leads has been a long time coming and I hope it’s not a wasted opportunity.

She’s been playing the same character for four lifetimes now lol
Don't know why, but this teaser made me cringe so hard! So far, the teasers haven't piqued my interest. I was anticipating this drama since I love me some Namgoong Min, but something about it seems off. I will give this drama a chance before I judge it any further.
Ugh. Her character seems annoying already. I love her in deep, emotional roles, but seems like I'll have to skip this one. Can't stand the over the top-ness!
hmm...seems like i've seen this character many times before. i wish she would change it up a little bit. just give it a little oomph to differentiate between her previous characters from other dramas. it's literally the same character over and over again. *yawns*
Yep you can basically plug her in any of her past dramas and you wouldn't even be able to tell she was playing a different character lol
Her face scares me when she's blinking lol. Guess I have to give it a pass.
These posters look weird and cheap, sorry to say this..
Writer-nims, why must you guys always write her the same character???
Sorry didn't mean to quote you lol
Wow there is a lot of negativity in here! I really like her, and I will be watching. But I do agree that her role here is similar to her past roles, but maybe it's because she shines in being dramatic and over the top. I don't mind it as long as she does not do it for the whole drama. I think she is great in these kinds of roles.
her face looks very weird, now even with those botox cheeks... and her annoying voice.... I really like to watch NGM, but will I be able to FF her out completely? lol...
Yes I have noticed that her face has changed quite a bit too. I thought I was the only one. She was so pretty before!
she still looks pretty, but maybe age is catching up so she has to do some enhancements which is common in South Korea I guess... It's just her over-cutesy expressions that makes the teaser look so cringy. I hope she can tone it down a bit for me to be able to watch NGM in peace :-)
Her face looks like it's frozen in place D:
I WILL BE PATIENTLY WAITING FOR THIS DRAMA! MY NAMGOONG MIN LOOKS SO HANDSOME!
Hwang Jung Eum tends to overact, that instead of being funny, she turns out downright annoying. I probably could accept seeing her with that kind of OTT comedic acting, I even find her adorable in Incarnation of Money and KMHM but she's been doing this over and over again and finally, I have had enough of it. It would be nice if she tone down her expression a bit.
Totally agree with you there. I think she's better in emotional roles as they tends to be screechy and overacts in comedies. I was dying for another NGM comedy but I'm sure if I love him enough to sit through her performance.
