Lee Jun Ki to Make Cameo in Episode 3 of Hotel Del Luna to Support Good Friend IU

View Comments

• If the drama didn't revolve around the character of IU it would have been better to have LJG to be the male lead. They had chemistry in spades in their last drama and with this cameo they'll completely overshadow YJG who has no chemistry with her. Luckily the male lead in this drama is less important and the whole spotlight stays on IU who is phenomenal in her role and owns the whole drama.

• Can't we just replace yeo jingu with joongi for the rest of the drama? This is the real ship :D

  • THIS!

• To be honest the real standout so far is the creative writing and the director. IU and YJG, they don’t own the role but their performance are passable at best.

  IU is cute and YJG has great charm in the show. IU did better in my mister. YJG did better in the historical drama earlier this year the clown.

  It’s upsetting to see people thinking that YJG should be replaced. Might as well
  Replace both of them.

  • You sound so bitter that IU turned about to be the star of the show and YJG turned out to be not the great actor his fans thought he was. Child actors have limitations that can't be overcome by just having many years of acting experiences. He should just do sageuks and nothing else because he doesn't know how to act in romcom dramas. IU has the much deserved bad ass role and she is doing a brilliant job with it. Actresses overpowering actors is the real trend these days.

    • Sorry I’m not bitter. I like both but I’m not bias enough to dump on one and not the other.

      Btw netizen like both the leads on this show. The majority are not criticizing his acting skills.

      Before my mister, everyone said the same thing about IU having limitations.

      I agree that YJG has limitations but they both do. Every actor has weaknesses. I’m sure they’ll continue to both improve since they’re both still young.

    • As if rom com has to got some special acting skill. Don't get what limition you are implying here. Seriously don't getvyhe expectation they set for a rom com.

    • As IU fan, she is one of female idol that is good. However, she does not suit this role. I did not feel IU character is someone that has lived a thousand year. I imagine someone like Lee Da hee, Jeon Hye Bin or Lee Elijah would to it better. Not saying she did bad in this drama.

    • I completely agree with you about the kind of roles yeo jin gu can do and this is not one of them. With romance either you have the ability to create chemistry or you don't. It isn't something you learn over time or something that can be improved on. Take the newbie who plays seol ji hwan in search www he has oodles of chemistry with lee dae he despite being a complete newbie. It isn't age or experience either because many young actors like nam joo hyuk and kim min jae are excellent in creating chemistry. Romance is the hardest genre to do because there isn't any plot so the chemistry has be in spades or everything falls flat. Luckily iu is able to work magic with her character but jin gu is lacking in many ways. His slapstick acting is poor as well. He isn't versatile to play different genres.

• The unsinkable ship! I've been annoyed that they cast a child for iu but this cameo makes it worth watching the drama!

• Give us season 2!!!!!! Shippers unite!!!!

• Can this cameo be 14 episodes long?

• Shippers rejoice. IU is definitely more into mature men so this is your only chance at failed fantasy.

• Yeo Jin gu acting is okay, let not judge till we watch the future episodes.and IU acting his good , hope this drama brings Hong sisters magic back

  • I don't think people are judging him based off this one week of episodes. The complaints about his acting have been ongoing since MAB and he hasn't shown any improvement since then. He doesn't ever have any chemistry with his female leads and this has become a fact at this point. There are only so many chances you can give him. RW, MAB and now HDL prove he isn't made for these roles.

    • Could he be better with another male actor instead since he has no chemistry with his female co-stars? ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️

• So far, I think the writing is not doing much for Yeo Jingoo's Gu Chansung. He is not as developed as IU's Manwol who has shown many facets of her personality. I think that was the problem in "Moon Lovers" with Hae Soo being rather two-dimensional while Wang So had a deeper characterization and undergoing noticeable growth.

  • It’s only two episode though. In fairness to YJG, he is doing a good job with his character.

    • I never said that Yeo Jingoo is a weak actor. I said that his character in Hotel del Luna is NOT WRITTEN WELL, in comparison to IU's character, so he does not have much material to work on. I have so many words to describe Manwol: feisty, alluring, cunning, proud, sympathetic, frightful. However to Chansung, kindness is his main character trait.
      I illustrated the problem with Chansung's characterization with that of Hae Soo in "Moon Lovers" who was written as your average Candy and was pretty much the same throughout the whole show. In whole, I find both Yeo Jingoo and IU good actors and their underdevelopped characters (again in terms of writing) don't allow to showcase their skills.

• I don’t understand what people are saying. YJG is doing amazing. It’s only two episode and of course they’re wouldn’t be romance chemistry yet as the story is not there yet.

  And wow! It’s good they know that LJG and IU’s friendship is going strong. I really love their Moon Lovers. No matter what people say but that drama is the best kdrama of all time in my book in many aspects esp Wang So. For some reasons I see Wang So as Wang So. LJG must done a real fantastic job with that character.
