View Comments

• Yes ji chang wook finally with great comeback drama. This guy can create chemistry eith anyone. I watched melt me softly it wasnt that bad but looked low on productions , a bad project but he is never out of work with endorsements thoroughorout asia and filming chinese drama right now. But he needed a domestic hit and this looks like it. Fiery priest is biggest hit of 2019 and so same PD team means he hit it big with comeback finally again. He hit it golden, both he n lmh next year with great dramas. I m happy fan! I was worried will he ever go back to top again in domestic market and looks like it will move his career back to top list! For the actress she hit it big with moonlight show , though i never liked a 16 year old actress kissing park bo gum in that show. I dont know how they even allowed it. Bit it was huge success for her. But her future choices were bad. But she has nothing to lose. She is just 20. So good project to bounce back. I rate her with kim so hyun as next faces of their gen

  • KYJ's star power is still questionable. People thinks that her success is because of his popular male leads. For example, the success of Moonlight is largely attributable to PBG because he is an A-Level actor. Meanwhile, KYJ experienced major miss in CWPFN because her male lead is very far from the level of PBG.

    Thus, KSH is still on a higher level because eventhough sometimes her male leads are not PBG level popular, her dramas are either ratings success or cult favorite.

• I’m so disappointed, in one of her recent interviews she is aware/worry of being type cast, picking cleaning with passion round 2 will not change anything. I waited for 4 years after moonlight for a good drama from her. I’m trying to erase cleaning from my memories LOL

  Three bubbly rom com character roles in a row...

  I love them both separately and I think they can work well together despite age differences (esp since ji Chang wook has a silly childish vibe like Taecyeon) but they should sign up for a different drama. The webtoon is too sketch and pedo-ish. The main male lead meets her when she is still in high school... kind of like doctors drama with park shin Hye.

  Thus, KSH is still on a higher level and a force to reckon with because she can carry a drama eventhough sometimes her male leads are not PBG level popular. So, her dramas are either ratings success or cult favorite.

  • The same thoughts. When it comes to Hallyu star power, KYJ is subpar of KSH. If you will notice KYJ's hit dramas are largely attributable to top actors (LITML-PBG;TMETS-KSooH, YJG). While the underwhelming dramas are mainly because her male leads are not as popular as the male leads of her hit dramas (CPFN, Angry Mom, Secret Door, etc.).

    KYJ's agency needs a thorough restructuring of her image. Because even though she has a goddess aura, she lacks the factor which makes someone watchable. I don't want to put into waste her talent. She has so much potential. And she needs to take action now because the race is becoming more intense with KSH leading the way.

    • No offence. But no need to pit KSH and KYJ against each other as rival acting as if their in a popularity contest. The two of them are good friends and yoo jung even sent a food truck to suport sohyuns drama. Once again i apologise if this came out rudely cause i think both so hyun and yoo jung are successful child turn actresses

    • These ladies are the top two actresses of their generation.Comparison is inevitable.

      It's normal to compare but let's make it healthy like their precedents (JJH-SHK, PSH-PBY, KGE-KTR).

  • What has this got to do with KSH, it's an article about KYJ and JCW. Promote your idol elsewhere. Stop putting another in bad light just because you are bias!!

    • Well the reactions are mutual. In every KSH article,there KYJ fans bombarding it.

• She is still doing well as cf star, but she struggle to get a good drama offers now. The webtoon actually 18+, I dont understand why they offer it to her. Her prev drama really ruined her image.

  • Yeah. I agree. She should take it slow. Honestly, I cannot stand her kissing scenes in her previous drama. Her and the actor's image is more of an uncle-niece, which makes the drama creepy and disgusting.

    Anyways, I still have faith with her that she will a jackpot again, and catch up with her contemporaries (KSH and YJG) soon.

  • i agree..her images kind of ruined after the counter top kissing scene. is it really necessary?

• I liked her last drama. I was surprised to see the couple working so well. Their BTS scenes really showed they felt confortable together. The issue was more the writting that was with the tradional trope of separation before the end...

  She filmed a horror movie since.

• I'm another one who really enjoyed Clean With A Passion For Now. It wasn't high art, but it was a well crafted piece of cotton candy, and delicious to watch. I would much rather watch an HONEST romcom like that one that a bait-and-switch bloodfest like Tale of Nokdu, which started off as a cutesy romcom then started butchering everyone in sight until only the two leads were left. Ugh!

  • I have to disagree. TTON is more enjoyable than CPFN. TTON is excellently consistent from the beginning until the end. TTON achieved mostly the no. 1 ratings during its timeslot and the drama is consistenly in the top 3 of the most buzzworthy dramas including the male and female leads.

  • TTON is not a fluffy cheesy rom-com like CPFN. The plot has depth, touching heart relationships, great directing and editing. CPFN is the worst piece of work with poor script, low budget and overacting. I wish I can erase it from KYJ's resume but I cannot unfortunately.

  • Well crafted? LOL they made a smart character become stupid in cleaning. That’s the real bait and switch. Her harassing a guy by kissing him with no permission esp when they don’t really know each other to protect her ego? Imagine if a guy did that instead?

• It was not TONALLY consistent. The first 10 episodes were light, fun and sweet, like a romcom, with LOTS of comedy. After that, they started killing EVERYBODY, graphically. The violence and savagery of the last half were VERY different to the way the Drama opened. I've been a fan of KSH for 6 years now, but still dropped that Drama when it became clear the focus was on treachery, butchery, butchery and murder. If I want to see that, I'll watch the news. Which is why I like fluff like KYJ's last. YOU might find watching people getting slaughtered by the dozens "enjoyable", and the ratings show that lots of people did, but I don't. I am glad that occasionally K Dramas still turn out a romcom without no serial killers, psychopaths or sageuk savagery. Clean With A Passion For Now was one of VERY few recent K Drama "romcoms" that had no significant darkness or violence, and for that I'm glad

  • Well, I respect your reference. However, you have to accept the fact that TTON was more enjoyed than CWPFN ratings and buzz-wise.

    • YOU are the one who brought up the ratings. I made no claims about ratings. All I said was that *I* enjoyed Clean With a Passion For Now and you felt compelled to reply with "Nokdu had high ratings". Which was utterly irrelevant to my simple statement of personal preference.

  • Well, I respect your preference. However, you have to accept the fact that TTON was more enjoyed than CWPFN ratings and buzz-wise.

    • Vice Versa, not everyone wants to see the name of KSH being connected to KYJ. Seems like some fans of KSH just cannot leave KYJ name out of KSH. Nontheless, I believe that there are still fans with good ethics.

  • @Raul - to be honest, it will be difficult to find a Joseon saguek drama without any killings. Even Moonlight has some scenes of violence. The historial setting in Joseon is unsettled and lots of wars happened. Are you expecting a bit too much when you choose to watch a saguek? Sorry to interrupt in your argument with @troika but why do you bring up TTON when the settings of these two dramas are in different era?

    • You're absolutely right about straight sageuks, which is why I never watch them. It's also why I was especially annoyed at Nokdu, because ALL the trailers, teasers, and promo material pitched it as a romcom sageuk fusion, of a similar tone to Flower of Joseon Marriage agency. And for the first 10 or so episodes, it WAS like that one. Then it changed and became a standard sageuk, of the sort I never watch. So by halfway, I dropped it, and just read recaps to find out who survived. Which was basically just the leads.

    • Then you must have hated Moonlight too because it was the same fluffy saguek turned into everyone dying even the 2nd lead. If you say you didn't then it shows how two faced you are.

• Hahaha. Everytime koala posts an article related to KYJ and KSH, it always attract attention. Wow, at the star power of these Korean teen queens!

  • ikr? there will always be haters in both articles. well..i enjoyed reading the comments actually..sometimes the haters pretended to be fans..hahaha

• I am a big fan of KSH but i really hate it whenever some fans drag her name to somethin KYJ related. Stop comparing them FFS! They are friends irl!

• Personally, I don't like articles or comments pitting the two young actresses against each other. They each have a great body of work, and one or two hit or miss dramas are typical for any actor/actress. They each have room to grow and solidify their mark on the acting world. For goodness sakes, they are still young, no one knows when the next big hit is round the corner! This article is on KYJ, why drag KSH into it? Each individual fan will always have their preference of course, but I see great things on the horizon for them. Hope they continue to make interesting drama choices in the future. And if they don't, they will learn from past mistakes and improve.

  • when i brought ksh, it was to point out that i see both them as defining actress of their gen like jun ji hyun and song hye kyo? not in negative way at all

    • @adyjunjihyun - I agree your comment was neutral, but some will use the opportunity to pit both actresses against each other. I just feel that it is possible to critisize or praise KYJ on her merits alone.
