Seo Kang Joon Wraps 2018 With Two Solid Drama Performances in Are You Human Too and The Third Charm

View Comments

• The Cheese in the Trap fiasco is so stupid that I still don't understand why such good drama was crashed and burnt at last leg like that. RIP my cheesy couple.

• He really showed his range with the two productions. I cant decide which production I preferred him in as AYHT was just better produced overall and scripting was tight but its Third Charm that brought the heartache for me. The scenes depicting a relationship that was failing felt too real and it just hurts. I think i would have preferred him to Yoon Kyun Sang to pair up with KYJ for cleaning with a passion ... cant wait to see what the future beckons for him. Hope he gets to do 1-2 more productions before military beckons

• I like him a lot since Cheese in the trap and it was so good to have him in two different dramas this year. His acting in AYHT was superb and he was also very touching in The third charm. Glad that he's finally getting some recognition, I can't wait to see his next drama! :)

• I'm still traumatized so I haven't been able to watch dramas that has pianos and/or him in it yet. Good to see he's doing well though.

• He’s one actor I been wanting to make it big. He’s beautiful and I think he’s grown a lot. Kudos to him.

• Didn't like The Third Charm but I enjoyed AYHT with him in it.
  I hope he gets a hit drama soon.

• I was disapointed by the story of Are you Human Too, but his acting was great. Third Charm was a nice drama. It's the kind of story that you don't want to hear but makes you feel so much emotions. He was great. I'm happy that he's doing fine even if his agency has a lot of issues.

• The 93 line is basically him, bogum and kyungsoo. They've dominated over the likes of hyun woo and seungho who have basically subsided to pointless roles even though they are the better actors. Its a shame actually but he worked for it so he deserves his wins.

  • Acting wise, Do Kyung Soo is my most fav among them.

  • I always thought YSH was severely overrated as an actor. DO and PBG are more versatile and SKJ has more heart. I love them they really bring their characters to life.

  • ....Yoo Seung Ho has led a drama to over 20 percent ratings though, after coming back from the army.

    Even Ruler, faulty as it was and as much as it didn't live up to its hype, had solid ratings and hit the teens. I don't think he can be so easily dismissed as "pointless" just because of a new It boy SKJ (who has yet to come even close to his series ratings) coming along.

    • Good point

• Love when his hair doesn't cover up his forehead. It's make him look more mature.

  characterwise, i like him in CITT the most. Missing him when he is all rough and on the edges. , and I still like his chem with KGE too.

  Dramawise, i like The Third charm the most. The narrative potential get more explore, and it's actually exceed my expectation About drama. Despite some flaws here and there. Meanwhile AYHT is really dissapointing and it's turn out to be just another drama which the initial aim is to get him more popular. Dissapointing with Jo Jung Jo, she got a good PD and solid cast, ffs.

  • Agree on the hair. Hes so handsome when its all up. AYHT got solid reviews with korean netizens though. I thought it was very well produced.

    • I just don't like the direction they take when the show got near to the end. They abandon the good stuff and It's more like goes towards black and white between NS and NS III to add more tension rather than tell a story.

• He's handsome, tall, good in acting but why his popularity in korea just so so? Even JHI more popular then him

  • Really? I saw SKJ's posters everywhere in Seoul last summer (in cosmetics skincare stores). He is very handsome with beautiful eyes. His acting is good. I like The Third Charm the best (because I like Esom too). SKJ is 5 years younger than JHI so there is a lot of time for more great projects. JHI is nobody as compared, only noona or ajhumma fans like him after that Pretty Noona drama. LOL.

    • Yep. Hes top 5 most sought after CF models in SK. I have had the opportunity to field an ad job once and his rates are surprisingly not cheap considering people thinking hes only a so-so famed actor. Ad agency said in that 20s age frame, there's really only him and park bo gum in representation - handsome, tall and known. DO is still seen as idol/exo so not really in same category. JHI has picked up a few cfs but his age puts him in park seo joon category instead. SKJ has numerous ads. Winter wear, water park, games, food, appliances, skincare... if only he was in a less troubled agency, i think he will do even better

    • Top 5 most sought after in the 20s category. PBG leads the pack.

    • Never saw him in the brand value ranking, even when his drama aired. Btw how about yang se jong?

  • brand reputation ranking isnt only about the no.of cf,

  • I will be visiting korea soon so i will see if he does have a lot of cfs or not. He might have a lot in 2017 and 2018 but he seems to have slowed down this year. I personally didnt see him on the brand reputation ranking too when his dramas air and I felt he is still a bit underrated. I could be wrong so i will see once i am there. He got good acting reviews from are you human and maybe third charm but ratings for third charm was not high as he admit in an article. What he needs is a drama that will do well in ratings and earn him good reviews.
