• How perfect it would have been if he was the male lead opp IU in HDL but hopefully next time!

  • Even but YJG would have been perfect for this drama.

    • **Anyone

• Hope he is well utilized and his storyline is significant. Looking forward to seeing how they wrap things up.

  • Yeah , I hope he doesn't end up like lee joon ki ,,, just appear for 5 second .. cause it is his first comeback after army so i hope he get a significant role like the god or something

• Before his bad movie in 201, his run was unreal from 2011 to 2016. I mean 2 blockbuster movies . 4 blockbuster dramas. Cf king earning huge huge money. His generation rival Lee min ho has already signed a guaranteed blockbuster drama for next year.. i hope kim soo hyun signs big drama too. Also lee min ho has already signed 7.5 million dollars of endorsements in just 3 months ( huge! )after comback bcoz of all his pan asia appeal and next year it will be more. Kim soo hyun will be signing those cf deals soon as he has also same appeal like LMH. He needs to sign a good script i hope!!!!
  Must be getting lots of endorsements. Really without drama this guys, get this endorsements and a blockbuster drama will just raise it to roof!

  Also can anyone tell me? There is clear difference in movie star status and drama stars all over world but in korea i see they do dramas and both . Even if one is active more in one particular field, they are still considered on par as stars. No prejudice against drama stars. For ex kim soo hyun lee min hoo, song joong ki are more inclined towards drama but they are bigger than movie stars of their age? Is this a thing in korea?

  • The likes of LMH, KSH, SJK are considered Hallyu stars. They do occassionally venture into movies but rarely are that successful in Chungmuro. Neverthless, they are more widely known and got more CF deals due to their Hallyu starpower. After all, K-dramas have broader reach than their movies.

    Movie stars are considered the finest actors in Korea in term of their crafts. They may be lesser known but people pay just to watch them perform. Ofc they are A-listers among the movie stars with Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun and Ha Jung Woo being the permanent fixtures that can command really high salary cos they can pack cinemas and win awards too.

    The only actor that so far can switch back and forth successfully between dramas and movies and still widely known is Yoo Ah In. He is considerably popular in dramaland and he got casted in really acclaimed movies.

    • Thnx for this but the movie stars u mentioned r also also household names especially lee byung hun who is pan asia popular. And i have noticed these movie stars become huge in movies during theirs 30s. So yes lmh ksh has chance if they get good scripts i feel.although lmh and ksh movies got success too expect tha last movie of ksh...yoo ah in popular i agree but i feel he is little less popular than them. Maybe i m wrong.
      And jjh didnt do drama for 14 years before 2013 as she is movie star more but she was as popular a shk, lee young ae as hallyu superstar. So i guess movie stars r as popular as drama stars. I get it is different from other industries like hollywood and bollywood where movie stars r considered different status wise

    • YAI had zero highly rated dramas tho?! You can - if you’re hard pressed to think of one - count six flying dragons. But as far as I remember, it never even broke 20%. Unlike LMH, KSH or SJK (since those guys were mentioned)

      Like I think he’s good and all, but he can’t “switch” between dramas and movies. His dramas don’t do well, his movies do, but he’s no A-list movie star. KSH has 2 blockbuster movies, SJK had werewolf. Not sure about LMH. Point is, YAI is not some success story in drama and chungmuro. If there is one, it’s KSH and SJK. But, not really. Or not yet anyway.

• I think he’s waiting for his contract to expire. keyeast has gone downhill since it joined with SM. Nice to see him again!

  • Where do you think he'll go? Personally I'd want him to move to Artist Company rather then set up an agency with his cousin who made that horrible movie.

    • I'm with you. I'm hoping he doesn't set up an agency with his cousin like it's been rumoured. I don't know his cousin, but judging by his movie is enough to know this is not a good idea.
      For me, I really like Soop (Gong Hyo Jin, Gong Yoo) or Namoo but I could see him in SidusHQ since that's were JJH is at. I hope he chooses wisely.

    • **** correction, JJH is at Culture Depot ^^ (what I meant to say is that he could join his company, whatever that is )

      He could also do is what Kim So Hyun did. She set up a company with her manager that's being looked after by a bigger company. I'd trust it more it it was something like this.....

• Koala you might right about Jin goo’s star power but
  Tvn’s biggest hits this year are courtesy him
  Hotel del Luna
  And don’t forget
  The Crowned Clown

  • Exactly....I get that you prefer the other actor's character but don't pretend he has zero hits under his belt....two of the 3 dramas he did back to back this year his 8% on average...his stars are shining as the guy keeps working hard. As for Lee Do Hyun...will comment only after seeing his work as a lead, not before that.

  • I mean he is pretty irrelevant to the ratings of those dramas. He's a dull actor and lacks the ability to create any chemistry which basically what the general opinion about him is. Just because he had some success as a child actor doesn't mean he has talent. His career is stagnated and now he uses his BTS friendship to gain popularity. He'll start using IU for popularity in the future because on his own he is nothing. Out of the 7-8 dramas he's done in the last 5 years only 2 have managed to get ratings.

    • You sound like a total hater of YJG. Your "he uses his BTS friendship to gain popularity" is straight up lie, or dumb, baseless opinion? Why does he need to be associated with BTS just to boost his popularity when he's already popular in South Korea? And just to clear things up, Jungkook (the youngest member of BTS, in case you don't know about him) is the one who mentioned YJG first and then sent him a food truck. Jungkook also mentioned him in one of Run BTS episodes on Vlive just because he watched a clip of YJG that was taken from The Moon that Embraces the Sun. Considering that Run BTS is an exclusive variety show for ARMYs, the way Jungkook called YJG a friend of his shows that he's happy to have YJG as one of his peers. And all those times, never have I seen YJG being like how you described him. Never. I can speak about this confidently because I've been around on Twitter following BTS and only BTS.

    • Glad you posted @autumnrain to clarify the BTS reference. I’ve had a gutsful of IU fans constantly dissing YJG starting, during and now ending that he’s not up to be her leading man in HDL. They’ve both done well so can’t they be happy that overall the drama was an astounding success.

• Ah what a great way to end a fantastic show by giving us Kim Soo Hyun

• But neither of him needed him to be big hits. Crowned Clown was a sageuk and all sageuk does well especially when its on cable see 100 days my price and Grand Prince both were hits. Hotel Deluna owes its entire success to IU and Hong Sisters. His contribution was almost zilch. The best example of his star power is Absolute Boyfriend which was a complete and utter flop. He doesn't have much of a future as an 'it' star since even in this drama he's been completely overshadowed by Lee do hyun who just racked up a major drama on tvn. He doesn't have any screen presence or charisma to make it into the big leagues.

  • 2 out of 3 dramas he did worked really well....a huge section of Korean and International audience continue to acknowledge his contribution to his dramas, adore him for his personality and he has been in this industry longer with established good will...saying Crowned Clown did not need him to be a big hit is just overlooking his honest hardwork to justify your point about Lee Do Hyun unnecessarily...many a times characters especially male actors in side role get hyped but whether or not they can carry the momentum in their next work is a whole grey area...let the 'IT Boy' work his magic the same way with solid performance in his next rolefirst...good luck to him and see what happens with Yeo Jin Gu too. This is just too early to be saying these stuff.

  • "HDL owes its entire success to IU and Hong Sisters"? What?? Why don't you FF all scenes of the excellent cast and just watch IU on your screen??? The male lead, supporting actors and all ghosts are contributing to the success of this drama. IU is good but she is not over-the-top. She just does her part. Don't exaggerate!!

    • I agree. ???

• I don't know why they're doing this. The show itself is already popular. It seems like everyone is trying to jump on the bandwagon - having a successful drama to their name will look good on their resume. Now if the drama ends with high ratings it will be due to extra star power instead of the finale/plot. What's better for a drama to be known for - the storyline/plot itself or the special appearances?

  • Chicken or the egg scenario. The show is successful because the script is great. Everyone wants to cameo in it which will lead to more hype, and higher ratings . In the end, it's all for the drama, so it's all good.

  • LMAO I don’t think KSH needs to jump any bandwagon to get a hit drama in his name. His last four - and only four - he’s been lead on has been: Dream High (17%), MoonSun (40%), YFAS (25%), Producers (17%).

    So maybe, he’s okay without this one LOL. He doing a cameo for a few friends. He doesn’t “need” this. It’s good for the fans but yea, he’ll survive just fine without it honestly.

    • I cant believe people r saying things like he is cashing on shows success. Lol its kim soo hyun top most actor of this decade. From highest paid actor to the highest paid cf endorser. And one with most cf deals. His all dramas this decade has averaged more than this drama. He definitely doesnt need this show for fame. When he is bigger than whole cast lol. It is more beneficial for creatives that he is appearing in show for friends

  • Kim soo hyun was the top male star from 2011 to 2017 along with lmh and sjk. U think he need idol actress's show for attention? Lol. He earned so much money in 2014 that iu has earned in hee whole career. He is that big. He doesnt need this drama for success and after his comeback, he and lmh has aleeady signed cf deals worth millions.he is doing it fir his friends. He doesnt need this show for fame. He is bigger than whole cast combined. Delusional fans

  • He clearly gonna do a cameo because he's always been good friends with iu and yjg

  • Lol, what are you talking about?!?

    You really think Kim Soo Hyun, of all people, will need this (or any drama) to create a good looking resume? You’re joking right? Because if not, you really need to amp up your kdrama knowledge.

    We’re talking about Kim Soo Hyun, in case you missed this. I don’t even like the guy, but the high handed ness of this comment (and some of the fans of this drama) is downright absurd.

• If KSH can find drama or movie to do yet as his first project post military, then it’s a good strategic move to get involve in a popular drama. He can help boost the promo for the HDL and at the same time he get advertised by the drama as it’s very popular right now. So it’s a win win.

  • *correction on the above— If Kim Soo Hyun *Can’t

  • Hope he will cast by critical acclaimed writer and director like kim eun sook or the signal writer ,

  • He doesnt need a cameo in cable drama for any popularity. He is popular like forever and will be cmng back with bang like lee min ho. He doesnt need this drama for any relevancy. In fact porducers wouldve asked him for cameo and he did for iu his friend. Ksh is a brand . His all 4 main leads has brought more ratings. Dont worry about him

• Holy Moly! I am excited!! KSH is one of those i would love to see in another drama with IU as OTP. They were in produce together but due to the dynamic of the drama i need something else! Oh i would also love Lee Seung Gi with IU but i think he needs to do something with Park Shin Hye first, loooool

  • KSH and IU had incredible chemistry in Producers, I was shocked by how good the 'mic fixing' scene was. And they weren't even the main couple there, her character was a second lead with an unrequited crush on him!

    If they signed a drama together as OTP, I 100% would watch.

    • we want kim soo hyun with real actresses not idols like iu who cant act... chemistry which he created with jjh

  • But I want soohyun with a more established actress though ( not discredit iu) , like jun ji hyun level of fame and acting
