Seo Kang Joon in Millet F/W 2018 Pictorial After Wrapping AI Romance Drama Are You Human Too

View Comments

• Like him also..certainly. A new phase in his career and going places...Great to see the praise as he earnt it with this one. ?

• One of the few kdramas that I finished in 2018. I wish the direction didn’t emphasize romance in this drama particularly on the part of the leading lady and limit it to platonic love.

  On the other hand, I agree on the knetz. Seo Kang Joon did a fantastic job in this drama. The praises for him were well-deserved. Since Cunning Single Lady, I find him to be one of the good and charismatic actors of his generation.

  • I agree with you. It's the show that got me completely hooked this year, but I never liked the romance. If the robot and the female lead were just platonic, this would have been among my all-time favorites.

    • I thought I was the only one who doesn't like the romance in AYHT. As much as I love Namsin 3, I just dont understand the possibility of romance between human and robot. My gosh.. how I desperately wished Namsin 3 is a cyborg instead of a robot only. But then.. when they have a baby, it's gonna be a cyborg, right? Lols..just kidding.

• He is a-ma-zing in Are you human too and his performance deserves all the awards. There is not enough praise I can give, you just should check and see for yourself how good he is in the dual role.
  I enjoyed the drama a lot, it's really good, but it's a pity that maybe the topic does not attract the masses. I hope that at least people learn about him being a very talented actor. I liked him since Cheese in the trap, he can give depth and heart to his characters and knows how to be subtle too. I'm already looking forward to have him back with a new series.

• The drama had a strong start but the last four or so episodes were kind of meh. He was good in this so regardless of ratings, he should get a boost.

• To be absolutely fair about Cheese in the Trap, didn't the controversy happen in the first place because the fans themselves weren't that into his character? I saw School 2015 around the same time and that also had an expanded role for Yook Sungjae, only that was never controversial because the fans actually liked him more than the main guy there. See also: Ji Soo in Angry Mom (comparing fan-preference reactions).

  Glad SKJ has done a good job and got that praise though.

  • In Cheese in trap, it was either SKJ performance made the viewer drew in to his character or PHJs interpretation of his character too boring and unlikable.But one thing for sure Jung was totally an unlikable for a main lead character.

    • What I'm saying is, if he had actually been a fan favourite to the extent of being preferred over the male lead, it would never have been a controversy at all.

      I just pointed out two other cases where Yook Sung Jae and Ji Soo's second lead/supporting characters were much more liked by viewers than the male 1st leads in their dramas and no one said anything bad about those two. The issue with the SKJ thing, looking at old posts, appears to be the director forcing it when fans didn't actually want it.

• Are You a Human Too had a great postproduction and SKJ was really great in both characters.

  I like him too. I think he had a nice chemistry with Nam Ji Hyun in What's with my Family and I would to see them as main couple in a drama.

  In CITT, it was the fans of Park Hae Jin who were very angry but I thought he did a great job as Baek In Ho.

  • It was the fans of the original source material who were furious. Yes the fans of PHJ were irked as well, but I remember most of the angst coming from people who loved the original.

    I don't blame the actors on how that went down but I loved the first ten episodes and it did fall apart narratively for me because of the changes made.

• I have actually only seen Seo Kangjoon in k-ent gossip and news sites before, and known him as the guy whose face everyone raves about, but I never understood the hype. Despite disliking the show overall, I am glad to have watched it because Seo Kangjoon was a revelation. I know him now as both a really handsome and amazing actor. I love how he paid attention to even the smallest details to differentiate his characters: tone of voice, way of speaking, even the way he moved his head. It was a fun experience to watch him, and I'm reminded of how much I loved Ji Sung in Kill Me, Heal Me.

  If you're not a fan of robot love stories, it's not a drama worth recommending. Even besides that, there were glaring plot holes and odd writing choices especially in the last 4 episodes that turned my earlier fondness for it into dislike. Anyway, I can't wait for The Third Charm. At least the male lead is a human this time lol.

• I highly recommend Are you human too? if not for the story at least for seo kang joon's portrayal of the two characters. He is talented and good looking. ♡

• I love his acting in this robot drama...we all know he is beautiful in a manly way unlike a lot of the so called flower boys. Now we know he is talented as well.

• Robot love stories just dont do it for me.It seems like although they put out so many, Korea isnt into them either because none have managed to pull the masses.I think id rather watch robots in an action or thriller movie.

  For some reason Seo Kang Joon is also one of those artists I just cant get into, despite of how hyped his looks are.However, he seems like a hard worker seeing how he doesnt take long breaks within projects.It looks like he will be doing another drama soon.So I respect him for that.I wish him well.

  In addition, kdrama industry(and movie needs new talent too).Not same old.same old.I would like to see more actors in his age group romancing the likes of hyeri, Nam Ji Hyun or even the younger ones like kim yoo jung, kim so hyun and others instead of mature actors like ji sung in "entertainer",jo jung suk in "two cops" or lee byun hun in "Mr Sunshine".Even the hallyu batch in the army is all in the early 30s(lee min ho, ji chang wook etc) now.There is need for more 20s actors to compliment the 20s actresses since koreans love lovelines and romance so much.This too big age gaps make it harder to buy the chemistry and difference in acting experience is even more magnified in most cases..so the less experienced ones always end up being on the chopping board when its not really their fault.

  • I agree about the too-big age gaps. Though to be fair, Park Bo Gum (who is exactly the same age) has been paired with Kim Yoo Jung and you still got people here pretending that was as bad as the case of Kim So Hyun and Kim Sae Ron being paired with guys aged 30+/nearing 30.

  • It baffles me why real age of the actors are important. I don’t mean to be rude but such mindset is just so shallow. Actors will be playing the characters not their own real life persona. Mr Sunshie is am exception as LBH were no able to deliver his character well. He just look too old for KTR. Or KTR could be partly to be blamed as her portrayal makes the character so much younger than what’s written. Thus the leads visual of Mr Sunshine look mismatched.

    • ....you really don't understand why people are bothered by the casting of underage girls to play love interests to men pushing 30? Must be nice.

  • That is why it’s called acting. They are portraying a role or someone they are not. Brilliant actors can even portray a baby or a teenager even they are in their 50s.
