There feels like a lot of drama casting news into 2020 now with the remainder of the 2019 K-dramas either cast or filming already. K-actor Yoo Seung Ho will be making his drama comeback in early 2020 with tvN‘s drama adaptation of popular webtoon Memorist. He seems to have an affinity with playing characters that have good memory, let’s not forget Remember. That one was alright but his last drama My Strange Hero was neither strange nor all that heroic, and mostly just meh. Memorist is already off to a good production team start with the of PD of Secret Forest (Stranger) and a movie screenwriter pairing up along with a solid source material in the webtoon. The main character is a detective with supernatural abilities who loses his memory and gets embroiled in a serial killer case.
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…
If Wang Xing Yue ever needs extra money he can be a professional dubber for…

So is he planning to get overshadowed by the antagonist again? He needs to take acting lessons from SKJ.
He's always been a mediocre actor. No comedic timing, no romantic chemistry, bad eye for projects and expressionless eyes. It's not a surprise all his dramas have flopped.
I enjoyed watching "I am not a robot" and look forward to his new drama.
Do you talking about YSH? Really??
Take several seats! Yoo Seung Ho is actually great! I’ve watched all his movies and dramas. He’s amazing! Go share that Haterade somewhere else smh
Why promoting your bias in ysh article? Just take care your 'nugu' actor.
to all nitizen that there hobby is to bullying others come on..is that the way you live.. your life is defend on bullying others.. your turn yourself into trash your just showing how rotten you are..make it good..make your life meaningful..dont judge people in a harsh way if you dont want to done it to yoo..
I really don't like his acting. He's never been good in anything.
He is just not good at acting. Very one note and boring.
I think this is common case with child actors, because they have been acting since very young public believed they're good actors when actually most of them really mediocre. The really good ones I think Yeo Jingoo, Kim Sohyun and Kim Yoojung. Nam Jihyun and Yoo Seungho just passable, and let's not even talk about Park Shinhye.
@ Daria - I beg to differ from your list - personally, I think think Yeo Jin Goo’s acting as an adult has been mediocre, and his drama choices not that great. Until he can generate genuine romantic chemistry with his lead actress, he’ll continue to be mediocre in my book. Even though this is an unpopular opinion, I would rate Nam Ji Hyun’s acting a lot higher than Kim So Hyun or Kim Yoo Jung because she was able to transition to adult roles with ease. I was honestly surprised when I saw how young she really was. She has excellent comedic timing and convincing acting and I’ve seen her in a variety of roles in at least five different dramas. My drawback with Kim So Hyun is that I still see her as a child playing dress up. As a viewer, her child actress image overshadows her adult image in my mind, plus she has yet to convince me that she can effectively generate romantic chemistry with her co star in her adult roles. I’m watching her latest drama, and her mannerisms are all the same, no surprises there at all. No chemistry with Jang Dong Yoon so I’m wondering what everyone is raving about. I liked Kim Yoo Jung immensely in Moonlight. Didn’t watch her last drama with a guy old enough to be her uncle, for that very reason. Still I think she has a lot of potential. I don’t even want to discuss PSH, and Yoo Seung Ho’s adult roles so far have been mediocre.
@Adal - I think KSH so far has good chemistry with JDY, don’t focus on the last scene of ep 5 because her character is very confused about her feelings thinking JDY already has a wife. It’s still quite early in the drama to decide on a verdict. I just don’t like the second male lead, otherwise everything is fine for me to continue watching. I agree NJH is very good but because of her more mature face, she cannot act cutesy unlike KSH & KYJ, hence easier transitioning to adult roles.
@adal same with you, I cant feel the chemistry between KSH and JDY. Their visual not match. JDY is too pretty, even prettier than KSH and his face is so small. I think he looks better with the second male lead ? and yes YJG still struggles in his adult role. Even with good script. I have no problem seeing KSH in her adult role, but maybe its because she always acted as a school girl, thats why. About YSH, I think he shines more as second lead.
I beg different. YJG is good in CC, so so good Good chemistry with LSY, far from being mediocre.
As per usual people feel the need to drag KSH into every article when she's already proved her amazing acting prowess. She is the one who has transitioned smoothly despite never stopping acting even once. Her worldwide fame is proof of how brilliant she is. People are raving about her chemistry and calling her the chemistry Queen because she always excels. Stop dragging her name into other people's articles to gain popularity for your bias.
really..maybe your idol is the one who are not very good in acting..since you cant accept it..you blame others before you say anything i suggest search on how yoo seung ho become best actor..coz your diffinetly blind...
i love all these former chold actors, Yoo Seung Ho, Nam ji hyun, Kim So Hyun and Kim yoo jung. they are all good actors.
@adal
agreed. NJH is a good actress. i loved her in 100days my prince and SKL. i hope and pray that she would be able to portray her role well as a popular webtoon writer in 365 a year of defying fate.
Btw, i love all these young actors and actresses. they are all successful at their young age.
- Nam Ji hyun Fan
LMFAO Adal and Tiana's comments are so biased it's funny ?
@Adal Just say you're a biased kim yoojung fan and go. It's literally the other way around, it's KYJ who is more known for her bubbly child actress image, and it's Kim So Hyun who has always been known for having a more matured aura between the two, even back in their child actress days, hence KSH's smoother transition to adult roles unlike your KYJ who always have controversial dramas lmao ?
Literally watch moon embracing the sun and you can tell even back then that Kim So Hyun has a more matured leading lady vibe while KYJ has always been known for her teeny bopper image (just compare the roles they were getting, with So Hyun getting all the more matured, darker roles). And KYJ is the one who looks like a dressed up kid, especially in the big flop Backsh*t Rookie with her thick makeup lmao ?
@Tiana Kim So Hyun is literally known for her beauty and small face, one guy even said her face is as small as a fist lol
Yes Jang Dong Yoon is pretty as Nokdu but he's definitely not prettier than So Hyun, who's known for her beauty both domestically and internationally, her beauty is always compared to Korean goddesses Han Ga In, Son Ye Jin, and Sung Yuri, so your comment makes zero sense lmao everyone knows she's goddess-tier and is always ranked high in beauty lists, so stay pressed ?
Not even sure why these two clowns Adal and Tiana are criticizing Kim So Hyun and Jang Dong Yoon's chemistry when they're literally popular for their great chemistry, like a real-life couple, even in behind the scenes videos. Korean viewers were crazy about their chemistry, so are the international fans, so just know that you two are objectively wrong and are obviously biased AF lol
Adal talk to me when your controversial bias KYJ has a Baeksang Best Actress nomination like Queen So Hyun lol ?
really so it means a multiple awards of being best actor is not a proof to you then..the judges in korea dont know how to judge since they give an award to yoo seung as best actor not just one but multiple....wah..i think you need to replace them since your very good in judging people without knowing him well... your spreading fake news..
your not the one never been good in judging...you just say the words without proof... your just jealous of him...coz Everything that he had is the opposite of what your idol had...i suggest you need more searching..coz your proof is invalid ..
No one cares if you don’t like his acting. Take a seat!
I think he is quite good in Missing You. But his choice of dramas is pretty meh after that. I actually prefer him as a villain than in rom-coms.
I like him a lot. I guess I don’t see any difference in acting when watching him in drama and films. PD of Strange Forest is off to a good start so YSH must have definite credibility if he was offered lead role. OCN double plus and thriller genre triple shot. I’m down for sure. As for the FL hopefully some bad kick ass K actress and there are tonnes of them currently that would do justice to the role if given the chance!
There's nothing new with the story, I think the previous drama offer is better than this
I like him in Arang.
Once upon a time I was ecstatic about news of a YSH drama. Now I’m just meh. I liked him better as a child actor. As an adult all his projects have been mediocre, and I don’t think this would be any different. Maybe he should go back to playing a villain, that was representative of his best work - Warrior Baek Dong Soo and Missing You.
I enjoyed watching "I am not a robot" and look forward to his new drama.
This is the worst form of cyber bullying, hope the negativity y'all spreading made you feel better about yourselves why don't you learn from the negative effects this form of bullying has on the Korean idols and actors, they can't go through all that training for you to come and bash them like that, I personally love Yoo Seung Ho and his dramas he's the best, remember that another man's meat is another man's poison so hey keep your poison to yourself don't try to spread it around in an attempt to ruin my meat whilst hiding behind your screen.
I personally think that yoo seung ho is a very great actor.ive watch a lot of his drama and movies and i cant find faults in the way he acts.he is a very talented actor.he delivered his every role very well.i bet those people who talk bad about him cant even do a small portion of what he does.or maybe envy him for how good he is.i hope what you say can bring you happiness dude.dont be so rude to people who didnt do anything bad to you.may god bless you all.so your heart cant be full of hatred.??
I think he deserve that role.hes one of the best actor of south korea..and he proved it eversince he act on matured role..remember..ruler.master of the mask.i am not a robot my strange hero..and masters of study..he deserve a good project so.hes achivement and award are the proved that he the one of the best actor..we can utter comment but pls..plss..we dont need to write comment that can offend actors and actresses
Yoo Seung Ho is one of the few korean actors who has the looks and talents, his acting awards are receipt to his ability to convey emotions to the role he's portraying, he's always been praised by his co-actors seniors and juniors... waiting for his new drama with enthusiasm
