• Ohhhh nooooo.... He is on the rise working with great actresses in Dazzling. This is such a downgrade with Duzy ooops S not D although could be even an F. lol.

  • Park Hye Ryun is such a talented writer. Im not sure what she sees in Suzy. If she cast a better actress, her well written female roles with shine even further.

    Suzy is okay but by now after participating in so many dramas, you would think she would improve in major leaps but unfortunately her improvements are so low that you have to squint your eyes, but I guess little improvements are better than nothing.

  • PHR may be pressured to cast her bcoz of funding... her writing can tailor to the worst actress aka duzy, even in WYWS to make her sleep and prolong screentime without much acting. I guess this can only happen in PS-filled SK. I just feel bad for a rising actor who can act with great actresses as proven. LSG is so wasted running around hard carrying an empty plot, ratings aside, VB is a joke, worse plot than GFB. Oh well, if NJG takes this offer, I will wait for his next drama...

    • That’s true, writers generally don’t have much say in casting unless they’re the writers of major hits like the writer from mr. Sunshine and goblin.
      Still what a disappointment :/

      Don’t worry about NJG at least he will be in three dramas(including Netflix drama) next year if he also accepts this one :)

    • Lol. Park Hye Ryun was so pressured that both her and PD Oh Choong Hwan sent a coffee truck to Suzy on the set of Vagabond. ? The denial of people on this blog whenever Suzy gets a new project is hilarious. Suzy is directors' and writers' favorite. Everyone loves and wants to work with her. They'll even delay filming to wait for her. There's already reports that the airing date for this will be postponed to the second half of 2020--probably because Suzy will be busy filming her movie with Park Bo Gum. ?

      This will be the third time Suzy's worked with Park Hye Ryun and second time with Oh Choong Hwan. Park Hye Ryun and many writers have a say in who they cast in their dramas. She chose Suzy first in While You Were Sleeping before deciding on a male lead who would complement her.

    • Popularity has nothing to do with acting skill. I dropped WYWS mid way because of boredom. There are still lots of dramas for me to watch. She cannot be in all kdramas at the same time. I don’t understand why you use the word “denial”. I am always very vocal about my opinion and I never deny my preference. People in SK can love working with her but this does not mean I have to watch. lol.

• There is a right time for everything and this is the perfect timing for them to work together. Offers are flooding in for both of them and so is the critical acclaim. This is perfect casting.

• Vagabond flopped with 8% average ratings bcoz many cable drama outdid a sbs channel drama lol. And her rolesr useless no self respecting actress will do such role. Her next movie with lee byung hun is a flowerpot role no top movie actress will sign such role.. Lol she has no box office power. Her last movie flopped she is ratings poison too. The time she hit 30s she will be finished. In movie land many actresses of her gen r ahead, kkm tae ri etc and now dramas flopping, iu has overtaken her in drama world, shin se kyung is also getting better scripts day by day and cfs. Her only strength was cfs and others have caught up her there too. Lol her fans call her new jun ji hyun lmao!!! Lol jun ji hyun on her hiatus shot more cfs than suzy this year. Suzy cant act. Flop movie actress, now a flop drama actress too

  • well know who says Suzy can't act? huh? Start up is now trending worldwide and now lots of people admire Suzy even more. Suzy tries other genre to prove herself that she can act to what drama she was given and yes she did it! so stop bluffing and just watch start up yow.

• Suzy is one of those celebrities whose career will never see a dip. Her and Hyuna always surprise me with their never ending popularity no matter what happens in their non work lives. Some people are just mean to be superstars and receive love from the masses.

  • She is the national first and only love! Queen dominating every field! Movies, dramas and cfs! Always in demand!

    • Oval, someone stole my user name to praise Suzy. I'm the original kimchi ajumma who is NOT a Suzy fan. T.Q.

    • @Kimchi Ajumma YES I wanted to say the same thing because someone did the same for Adal too. The nerve of these 2 to pose as you two, how rude. I guess because you and Adal are always pleasant and never personal in your responses. Gosh how scarey and annoying though.

    • Ginger Crunch, thanks for recognising me as the original ajumma without the h, my call sign is in deep pink colour and the patterns are always the same. I'm married to a Caucasian and have 2 degrees in English. Would never dream of using horrendous spelling and grammar. I'm calling out those flaky frauds as who they really are, cowards and keyboard bullies. Suzy would be ashamed to fans like that. Just giving Suzy a bad name. Cheers, Ginger Crunch.

    • Typo error - It should be "Suzy would be ashamed to *have" fans like that."

  • Haters gonna hate but Suzy and IU are and will always be the most popular of their generation! Nobody can even come close to their popularity or demand!:D

    • The jealous losers are already here to tell us to tone it down. They're just jealous because their ugly bias can never have what Suzy has and will always have. They think being pretty and in demand is easy especially in k-pop. Losers don't know the reality of the music industry. She's been in demand since her trainee days.

    • Lols. Delusion of Suzy fans have no bound. Presently Suzy is a poor actress and she needs to improve. Even experienced veterans are humble enough to accept their faults. But Suzy fans(or is it same person with multiple accounts) can't digest the truth. ?

    • What does popularity have to do with acting skills? No Suzy fan has ever said she was a good actress but that has never affected her popularity. People who hate on Suzy are jealous of her popularity not her acting skills. Her fans are humble enough to know the difference.

    • Hi Adal, this is NOT my opinion. Someone stole my user name to praise Suzy. I am NOT a Suzy, Hyuna or IU fan. I will never use this kind of horrendous grammar "Her and Hyuna always surprise........" and "people are just mean to be superstars........" Silly trolls can't even pick their own user names.

    • You imposter! The real Adal would never write like this. Actually Adal posted below. Geez that’s like sly as to front like that.

  • Hey kimchi ahjumma, I am the real one. Go pick your own user name without stealing mine. Thank you. Cheerio.

  • BTW, I am NOT a fan of Suzy and Hyuna. Why do you hijack other people's user name and hide behind them? Just use your own name. Lol.

  • @The real Kimchi Ajumma - I knew it but kinda was hoping you would call the imposter out and you did. Happy because I would have had a field day if you hadn’t responded. The nerve of them. You’re too eloquent and mature in your replies for a start but I’m jealous because you obviously shine enough to have someone who wants to emulate you here so it’s an actual compliment. Unlike me I had someone reply as Ginger and I wanted to address them as Ginger Nuts but the joke would have fallen flat coz here in NZ ginger nuts are a biscuit and they wouldn’t have got it. Anyway cheers to you and we best be ready for Crash Landing and Chocolate. ❤️

    • I wonder why koala doesn't use disqus... It would make everything simpler and easier??

    • @Youl Because I’ll get downvoted off the island; the one user with multiple aliases mass repeating their comment would get called out; Our language would be so ultra polite it would cause us to fall asleep in the middle of posting; And the playground would become an after school detention centre. No thanks well actually I wouldn’t mind I’m on Soompi and if the moderator doesn’t like your comment it’s immediately culled. Mz Koala lets us run rampant but there are boundaries that have been pushed and she has removed the ones that are in breach; mine included.

    • @Ginger Crunch, thank you for your sincere compliment! Ah, a fellow Kiwi kindred spirit, sweet as. I love ginger nuts "bikkies" by the way. It's a real pleasure knowing you in this blog. Yes, I am gearing up for the third season of The Crown, Chocolate and Crash Landing. It's going to be a busy Nov/Dec. Cheers!

• PHR has a new muse or maybe Suzy was always her original muse. She was great in WYWS and PHR writes the best female characters. They should both sign up for this.

• NJH and Suzy joining the list of most hardworking actors after JH, Jisung, HJM, LJS, YJG and KSH. People who work hard deserve to have success. No wonder they're getting so much love and appreciation.

• These 2 are booked and busy till 2021! WOW!

• Nam joohyuk working very hard ? but this project is scary

  • yes, the scariest part is how to write an airhead to become a convincing business magnate ??‍♀️ this truly needs a magic pen

    • The PD is the only one who can save them

• WYWS was pretty disapointing : story and actors. So I'm not very impatient for the next Park Hye Run's drama. Suzy is still meh as an actress.

• Suzy dominating the industry as always. No competition.
