Jang Seung Jo Out Sads Ha Ji Won and Yoon Kye Sang in New Character Posters for jTBC Melodrama Chocolate
I love Ha Ji Won and Yoon Kye Sang but I had a third reason to check out their upcoming jTBC melodrama Chocolate and that would be Jang Seung Jo. He’s made so many memorable and poignant supporting lead performances in the last two years and is showing his nuanced talent even in this just released character poster where so much contained sadness radiates from his gaze. The leads have been super weepy in the trailers so far so it’s nice to see a new face otherwise I would think the entire drama is just Yoon Kye Sang and Ha Ji Won being sad all alone in a weird universe with no one around them. The lead posters are also lovely, Ha Ji Won’s smile and the way Yoon Kye Sang looks up with a stoic expression, it all makes me think this is a drama about adults for adults.
Now I wish he was the main lead, he is so talented its long overdue… And he has one of the prettiest eyes I have ever seen on a Korean actor.
Oh yeah! First saw him on “Encounter” and I thought he was pretty good on conveying his emotion.
I can not wait to see my Ha Ji Won again, I’m just hoping it will air on Netflix if not on Viki (I’ll subscribe for Viki Pass just for Jiwon)
JSJ was on Money Flower and did really well there however he still needs a few more dramas before male lead status imo. I know this is way of topic but news on Honey Lee – YKS gf is more prevalent nowadays. I mean she wears a see through skirt to her film press conference and it’s considered newsworthy to make headlines on all k pop. Yeah umm why?
Another eye candy to look at. He’s very handsome in a charismatic way. Another interesting connection is the actor who played Hyun Bin’s secretary in Memories of Alhambra is playing HJW’s brother in Chocolate. His name is Min Jin-Woong. He is so tall I wonder how he is going to make it believable as petite Ji Won’s brother.
Oh my goodness, Jang Seung Jo is actually 38 years old this coming 13 Dec. Born in the year 1981. He looks like he’s a 25 year old idol! Already married with one child. Impressive. I agree with ms koala, this is a drama about same age adults for adults.
Melodrama.. prepare tissue
See the trailer.. I like their chemistry..
