View Comments

• Park bo young always come with great projects most of the time especially movies when she hit it big in 2008 with that movie

  • Most of her movies have flopped so I don't know what your tripping on. Scandal Makers, Werewolf Boy and Wedding are the only movies that are considered hits everything else she did in movies was a flop.

    • lol this. Love PBY but actually, she’s not as successful as people make her seem. Wedding wasn’t huge either so her last biggest hit was quite a while ago. She’s good in dramas instead. Both OMG and Bong soon did very well.

    • Even jjh has flops. Thing is she is in demand actress in both fields. Clearly among top 3 actress from 90s nad has double digit cfs. What is ur criteria of top? Her romcom movie did well too for the genre

  • Yes, along with KTR, PBY is an enigma in both TV and movie landia. Something rare to be achieved in K-entertainment. So far, the legends are JJH and SYJ.

• I am happy and gutted at the same time. PBY will most likely unable to do The One Day Destruction Enter The Front Door of My House. Both projects are slated for early 2021. The SIG and PBY combo have been my dream team since Oh My Ghost. Heartbreak. However, seeing PBY with PSJ is a consolation even if it is a 2 hour movie.

  • Ugh, same - what a bummer. PBY and PSJ will be fun to watch though.

• Can't they just hire people and rebuild the houses and buildings? It's not like they're fighting off demons or zombies or something. What is there to protect?

  • comment of the day :)

• PSJ is rising. He may pull off a legendary KSH career in TV and movie if this movie turns to be success, which is very possible.

• Still he have to give 3-4 more hits.
  KSH have to just make a comeback as soon as possible with good projects. KSH and PSJ they both have stardom and are critically acclaimed... that rare for hallyu star. PSJ is rising thats great....the only problem with KSH is he really take a lot of time...he is very picky in his projects. Wish he make a comeback as soon as possible...

  • IONTBO is KSH's comeback drama which unfortunately not meeting its expected domestic ratings. Nevertheless, widely crazed by fans outside SoKor.

    • But u know right people here said netflix n worldwide popularity doesnt matter lol

    • K entertainment have said that IOTNOB is hitting the 3rd hallyu wave coz or it's extreme popularity in NETFLIX and TVING ( Biggest korean streaming site ). Recently IOTNOB in TVING have got 80% viewership which means 2.032 million Koreans are watching on TVing.
      PSJ have to really gave more hits coz the impact KSH have created on K industry at such a young age is still unbeatable. I am not saying that PSJ is not great actor...but KSH is literally at top and PSJ is in his way...to reach there. If u have seen KSH record he literally explode 2010-2015..5 years an actor could dream...6 super hits projects in a row..4 daesang in a row. Becoming second youngest actor to get Baeksang award for best actor at age of 24 only...PSJ is the only korean actor who can give KSH tough competition...

      Here u go...now ratings are not only the way of success. OTT platforms like TVing in the and Netflix are the also the way of success. 2nd hallyu wave was started by My love from another star and 1st was started by Winter Sonata. IOTNOB is hitting 3rd hallyu wave...u can see the graph that shows which drama started hallyu wave time to time.

    • I beg to disagree. 2nd hallyu wave was started by BOF, 3rd wave was MLFTS and 4th wave was CLOY.

    • 2nd wave was started with bof. get ur facts right naveen

    • IC was also aired in TVing if I m not wrong..I m saying this because a IONTBO fan herself said that as CLOY and IC were also aired in TVIng and they don't know how what was the viewership percentage of these two..so it would be unfair to pull up the TVIng card.

      As for Netflix I will say this again..The top 10 trends started from 23 feb and IC was nearing its end..(CLOY already ended)..So it isn't a fair criteria to judge which one is more popular on Netflix cause we don't have enough data for IC..
      HOWEVER I do think IOTNBO is a huge hit worldwide but don't compare it with IC cause we didn't have Netflix trends during IC times unlike now when we know in which countries IOTNBO is trending.

    • @ ady I have given you the link just check it coz it is officially said by korean entertainment.

  • PSJ and KSH are great actors. Its enough for me.

  • Do you know what Critically acclaimed is? How can someone be critically acclaimed. A project can become critically acclaimed not a person. You can say someone has awards... Or a Project such movie etc etc was critically acclaimed? People don't even know the phrase but trying to use words doesn't even mean shit or relevant.

    It depends on the Hallyu stars level some of them are at such high level which techically makes them above everyone in talent

    • Err, critically acclaimed means acclaimed by critics *drum rolls*. In simpler terms, someone who is deemed a good actor by experts, industry insiders, acclaimed PDs (and yes, that’s a thing. Look it up!). People do know how to use the “phrase”, just because you don’t understand it, doesn’t mean it’s not a thing LOL.

      Both Park Seo Joon and Kim Soo Hyun are acclaimed actors - they both were #2 and #1 respectively in the Sports Chosun released list chosen by industry insiders. That’s a fact. PSJ is still getting there but KSH for now has the Hallyu factor, the “critical acclaim”, all the awards, overall praise etc.

      Hallyu stars at “such a high level which makes them above everyone in talent” - ??. that line doesn’t mean shit and is completely irrelevant. If Hallyu at a high level (wtf does that mean anyway) means someone is “talented above everyone” then Suzy is the most talented amongst all. Spare me the stupidity please. I’m out.

    • Citing a fucking irrelevant survey by agencies WTF. They don't cast anyone nor have power or any casting decision it's like gathering 30 irrelevant people to give you a survey.. Agents that is what they are? They are not directors, producers or the people who take the final decision. And No there is no such thing as critically acclaimed actor it doesn't exist such word? A project can become critically acclaimed english is perhaps not your first language don't delude yourself in emptiness thinking it is something

    • I am sure most of actors have somewhere 1 critically acclaimed project so does that make them all critically acclaimed.. There is nothing called critically acclaimed for actors there no words for that it's only for projects. you are looking for others words

    • I don't think she knows what critically acclaim means and kinda wrongfully used here. Park chan-wook, Yoo Ha, or Bong Joon-ho movies are mostly acclaimed by professional movie critics and also all other socially meaningful movies you will get CA but rarely a drama gets critically acclaimed.. It's like 1 in very 5000 dramas. These professional critics dont give critical acclaim an actor it's not their job but the project but what you said doesn't exist in the oxford dictionary. You meant with alot awards or rewarded or something along these lines. It's like saying the fire department came to take the fire out of one person while their job is solely based on shouting down the fire on the building. There job is based on the project and laud performances. Don't mess it up or get it wrong

    • Suzy is an Idol and singer just doesn't fit into this whatsoever as acting is her side thing

    • KSH has won 1 Paeksang or something and some of his fans believe this to be something significiant lool. Small actors take these serious and they even give them to be B and C-listers. Meh! PSJ has never won anything tho. KSH just doesn't have it and this proves why the inferiority complex. I actully PSH above KSH because he can atleast pull off macho characters

• Since KSH was mentioned above, yes, I agree that KSH and PSJ are both great actors, probably 2 of the best among their peers.

• Wow, not really sure how this topic got to KSH but I think in terms of successful projects, PSJ has a bit more to go before he can reach KSH’s level of success.

  That being said, PSJ is also someone who doesn’t take too many breaks and always keeps himself busy. So that’s definitely to his advantage. KSH tends to be extremely picky and while his choices are actually 99% correct, I wish he did more projects overall. If he can be so acknowledged with literally just 5 dramas and 3 movies in the past decade (where he’s not a child actor), then it says a lot about his star power and influence.

  • True..PSJ is keeping him busy which is very big advantage to him which is helping him to rise faster. KSH should do more projects...

• Wow PSJ! Ugh LBH... Nope

• 2nd was started with boys over flowers. Get the timeline right

  And international numbers dont matter as people said here. U were one of them. Don't change ur narrative!

  • It’s the literal news. Could be wrong news sure, but the article being published is a fact tho...

    The “people here” are right. International numbers don’t matter, domestic does. Therefore, Itaewon Class is a huge hit despite IOTNBO getting international recognition.

    • Being in the news does not convert something into a fact. Well, the article linked in this post looks like some kind of media hype and backed up with data to make it more reliable.

      At the end of the day, IONTBO is never the the starter of hallyu wave drama. We are already in the 4th wave which is started by CLOY and paved way to TWOM, IC, TKEM and IONTBO.

    • Of course being in the news means its a fact, You aren't even allowed to publish any article in a newspaper or new forum unless you have facts and figures to back it up. What rubbish are you saying? Journalism is fact based and all news is factual.

• Comment of the day. :)
