Well this is certainly big casting news. On the heels on earlier reporting that top movie actress Jeon Do Yeon is coming back to the small screen soon, now she’s got a leading man and he’s quite the quirky charmer. Ryu Jun Yeol is in talks to join the award winning Jeon Do Yeon in the upcoming drama Disqualified From Being Human. It’s a human emotion drama about people in different stages of life struggling with failures and fears. Jeon Do Yeon is a woman in her 40’s who recently had a miscarriage and thinks she’s not accomplished anything in her career she sacrificed for. Ryu Jun Yeol is the opposite, a young 20’s guy who is fearful of never accomplishing anything despite not yet having started. The drama centers around a suicide helpline community and I totally think this subject matter is much needed especially in countries like South Korea where mental health remains a hushed or brushed aside topic. Fantastic casting and even if there is romance between the leads I’m game for what the drama wants to tell with the story as there has been plenty enough 20 year old age difference drama pairings.

I am happy for RYJ. He is not that handsome nor he has pretty visual but he is so charismatic on screen plus [for me] he is one of the best actors of his generation. It was the best career decision on his part to be more active on chungmu-ro that on tv dramas. For just few years since Reply, he acted with many great film actors and actresses. ? Wishing the best for him!
Agree. He may give PBG a run for his money if he keeps doing amazing projects left and right.
What? The man is beautiful. Not in the western standard maybe but he is quite stunning. But you are right about his acting
A cougar and younger beast. The plot must be awful dark. I will skip this ?
When a man id's 20 years older, is he also cougar?
RYJ is one of the most talented actors sure he will nail this role. He is very younger looking so manly and handsome even agegap wont be much elicited with his manly charms.
