• Oh so Bogum decided to pick this project again? Thought he declined it

• But Park Bogum’s acting is whatever… he realized that 2 yrs hiatus didn’t do good for his image and a flop drama revealed his mediocre acting

• I thought he was mulling over it yet to be confirmed. Good on him if he is on board though.

• I hope he wont be fake smiling a lot...

  • Haha

• It's not so bad when he's smiling with mouth closed. I am so scared of his teeth.

  • hahaha, me too - reminds me of the movie "The Mask".

    • hahahhaa... yup

• Wow My 2 favs! The story sound promising, plus the visual. I'm in!

• Interesting to see Park Bo Gum collaborate with Gong Yoo. I hope it's good because I still can't get over his cringey performance in Encounter. Anyway I'm for this new production of Gong Yoo. My second favorite Ahjussi.

• Bogum was casted since after Moonlight but he rejected it. The director revised it for so many times for him since 2017 that now he's likely to join. i hope it's great and welcome back to chungmuro. Combo with Gongyoo i hope it turn out well. The director is famous and he took years for producing each of his works. Bogum interview his next work will be opposite from encounter so i guess this is the one he mentioned.

• I know PBG still not confirmed for this project. he still reviewing it. Actually I really want him to take this. Really felt bad for the writer, PBG decline this project in 2017 but they waited for him for 3 years, revised the scenario for multiple times hope PBG will change his mind. now they got Gongyoo too, its kinda rude if he decline it again.

  • Good to know that PBG knows what he wants, not simply jump into any high paying movie. I have faith that this will be good!

    • Does he? His drama choices don't indicate that.

  • Y'know, the writer for Entertainer and Encounter also tried hard to get him to star in her projects for years. And look how it turned out, Encounter was such a big disappointment. This movie writer is so-so...

    • Wow dont acted like you know everything. Encounter writer have many flop drama, encounter is his best one right now. And btw PBG already have stable fanbase, so you dont need to worried. Even Joinsung take great battle for the writer. And he not regret anything

  • Bogum is an idiot when it comes to picking projects. What the hell was Encounter?

  • @kami @Anna He picked moonlight too you know, dont forget about reply 1988, even all his movies was a big hit (tho he's just got a small role but he still picked it). And you talk about EC like the rating just reached 1% or something, if you comparing it with the writer prev drama EC will counted as succesfull

    • The only one memorable from reply was RJY and moonlight was bad but just got lucky with ratings which is why moon lovers became a massive hallyu hit internationally. Everyone is still pissed that moon lovers lost out in ratings to a mediocre drama like moonlight. You must not remember the fan wars at that time.

    • Lmfao you must be blind, its not just RJY, PBG got so many recognizer because of reply 1988, people kept talking about him. And about scarlet heart hit internationally, moonlight did too. Moonlight become big hit in japan, and PBG have FM in asia. Look like you really hate him, just because you dont like his drama, it doesnt mean that drama is bad. Because I can said the same thing about scarlet too

    • Moon Lovers may have lost to Moonlight in the rating Korea but certainly Moonlovers killed Moonlight in the international rating and certainly Moonlovers was much popular in Japan and other parts of Asia and has been ro re-run continuously.

      Besides Moonlovers’rating Korea was still decent and went double digits. It was still number one on its timeslot at that time. Of course except Moonlight because of the hype of the SongSong couple. Song Joong Ki mentioning Moonlight in every intervew he had, and Park Bo Gum mentioning the Song2 couple in every interview he had at that time.

      Because Moonlight was a liveshoot drama so they can change anything while in the middle of broadcast. Which unlike Moonlovers which was preproduced and was already pre-sold to many countries. That is why, Moonlight productions stole every good thing in Moonlover e.g. the catchphrase ‘my person’... Moonlight even made an OST out of it.

    • @loveliness Oh gosh I'm coming to this article to support my bias but there's many stupid people who still not realized how stupid they are.
      Here I will tell you, you just following scarlet so you dont know anything about moonlight. First moonlight is big in japan, and many countries in asia, yes they did rerun too, thats mean the rating is high too. There's a big chaos when moonlight's cast went to cebu, and even thailand artist is a fan of PBG and jinyoung. Kim yoojoung did fanmeeting in sin because of moonlight. And we still not talking how popular PBG after moonlight in asia. I scared you will comparing him with LJK. And how could you blamed sjk and his relationship with PBG for media play? When scarlet is one of overhyped drama after dots n UF.
      You complaining about moonlight song too? Why scarlet fans so scared with 'my person' its just PBG who sing it, scarlet have EXO and Taeyoun who have bigger fanbase than PBG alone.

  • Since when were Moonlovers and Moonlight in competition with each other? Both were extremely popular and for me personally I’m down with Moonlight because I follow both KYJ and PBG however I only watched Moonlovers 1 episode and did the unthinkable and read all the recaps and thus didn’t venture out any further cos I didn’t want the heart ache and headache. PBG is choosing his career path wisely and he did mention in a recent Soompi article he wanted to be a psychopath in his next role which is brilliant because he’s showing range and venturing out from nice preppy predictable characters. Perhaps a Korean version of ‘A talented Mr Ripley’? It will be interesting to know what the writer had to change in this film script with Gong Yoo that hooked PBG into even considering it. And always my #1 question who is the lucky leading lady? Any ideas?

    • You're right Moonlovers was always above and beyond a shallow drama like Moonlight which literally copied all the good parts of Moonlovers. International audience saw right through the rubbish acting and plot of the drama which is why Moonlovers is still a huge sensation internationally.

    • Sorry I’m not in the competition of comparing dramas as they are both great in my opinion and I adore both sets of actors so to make me choose is akin to asking me to choose which hand I have a choice to chop off. Gosh why does it have to be so hard nowadays with favourite dramas and actors. I love them both but dogging one drama in favour of your own is your opinion and doesn’t represent the masses. ❤️

    • @gingercrunch I dont think they need the female lead, this is action-scifi movie. Maybe they will put one, but not as the lead. Oh gosh I cant wait for this! He really need to take this, PBG in action must be so cool!

    • It’s not about the actors but what was compared was the drama. Moonlight production has chosen the cheap part of the business. That production was a mediocre copycat.

      PBG mentioning SJK and vice versa just to promote Moonlight at that time, was a marketing strategy, a very success one. Blossom did try to apply the same strategy on Lee Soo Won but failed big time due the scandal.

    • @poh If there Is a female please make it pivotal to the story and not some pretty wallflower or damsel in distress and definitely someone who can carry a scene well. There are tonnes of K actresses who could do justice if given the opportunity. I’m brain overload to name any right now.

    • @ginger Crunch my predicted the story will be like Logan or something. tho I'm not sure. but if they really want to put a female lead, I think Kim go eun is better. (but PBG still not saying anything) -_-

    • lol I almost think miss koala blocked my email

• It's amazing how some people in the thread consistently post hate comments or communicate negativity. It's as if they cannot live or breathe without bringing persons down. It's not only for this article but for almost, if not all, articles that Koala churns out.

  • agree, it's the impression now that if i visit this site to read the news even they're good ones. many of users here are kinda toxic lol

    • Agree too, not sure what's wrong with those users. Is koala website popular enough to attract anti-fans? Apparently some even change user names ? Wow !

    • Koala is probably one of the few websites which don't delete hate comments I suppose. And the tone of the blog seems to be encouraging fanwars.

  • To be honest, only mediocre actors get kinda negative comments (I never use the term "hate"). I can name you a few mediocre artists but I will get bashed. One has to think why negative comments are received, obviously because that person does not deserve any praise. You cannot say those who give negative comments "cannot live or breathe", in fact, those who vent here are the one who can breathe. Those cannot accept different opinions are the ones who are not breathing and are stuck in their own little world. The ones who change usernames are usually delulu fans who think they can upscale their votes if the same person comments multiple times to deliver praises. You will never see negative comments in real actor's articles (for example JJS just posted). Just my observation.

    • Idk but whenever i visit this site hate comments from celebs are really harsh from age, body, visual shaming name it all you will see it here. The comments are not even critismn but consider bashing already.

    • But PBG isn't just mediocre he's actaully bad. His last good role was Hello Monster and he wasn't even the lead for that. His delulu fans are always changing usernames to post positive comments and dragging down other actors.

    • When you said mediocre, you were referring to their acting skills right? But why do I see certain users mocking someone's teeth, body, age etc?

    • The funny thing is no one protest when Shin sekyung or Jin seyeon gets hate or comments for bad acting but when its Park bogum his fans get defensive. Hes not even a good actor and keeps promoting his massive celeb connections in every interview. This director is crazy to give him this much importance when he already has the amazing Gong yoo on board. There are much better rookie actors who would be happy to have the opportunity. Even Ansi city did well without him.

    • @jeff jealous much? ?
