• Looking Good cannot wait

• He looks like a kid playing dress up. Why is she wasting her time with these dramas?

  • Right, I wish she would stop doing these noona romance dramas and venture to something else.

    • Shk will be doing a revenge drama after NWABU.

• Nothing against the leads but have a gripe with writers framing the same romantic scenes (photo 4 & 7). Why oh why do they always make the OTP stare at each other from a distance or holding an umbrella in the rain???!!!! Been done to death scenarios. Atelier a J-drama set in the lingerie fashion industry with no romance plot was very well done. At the very least get some diverse ideas from Hallmark channel rom-coms, Netflix movies & Hollywood classics. Geez, I'm not asking too much.

  • Atelier was very good, one of Netflix's better East Asian collaborations, I think

    • Yes, agree. The J actress who played the owner of the boutique modelled her after Meryl Streep's character in The Devil Wears Prada. Her acting still came off as very original to me. This is how copying ideas from other sources are done without coming across as cheesy or pretentious.

• I don't know about chemistry yet, maybe when I watch a teaser I can tell, but they surely look pretty individualy...I hope the story is good...

• SHK can definitely pull off any hairstyles but i think long hair accentuates her beauty even more.

  Looking forward to this drama coz it's been a few years since encounter

  • Yes a i totally agree...i live her more with ling hair.

    • love and long ???

• So far it's building up as a visual heavy or looks only drama. Wait for teasers to come out for a better feel. Then again, I was massively fooled by teasers before. Fingers crossed for a strong plot & script.

• Jky has always been unmemorable and how come a lead like him get to star in drama with legendary shk? Bored of seeing him in this kind of role staring at noona with no feeling in his eyes just a blank stare. When will this guy enlist?

  • I have ti disagree. I think JKY was awesome in Come & Hug Me. His stare was scary. And in a totally different genre, he can be cheeky & sexy in Search WWW. His chemistry with Im Soo Jung was off the charts.

    • *to

  • Beg to differ, but he always tried different roles, not like certain actor ls who only played the same role over and over again.

    If you only know him bcuz of WWW, then try watching ajjussi cuz he was the antagonist. Or come and hug me or kill it. Or his current drama with Hyeri.

    YG needs to give this man a good script. Hopefully this drama will get high rating, but i doubt it since it's on public channel.

    • Totally agree with you! His acting is so underrated. He can play conflicted villian ( My Ahjussi), Melo (Come and hug me), action (kill it), homeless with a secret(Born Again) and one of his best male lead roles in search:www. Also he is multi-talented and can charm the socks off anyone. He has been one of the top male models in Korea, he can sing ballads and rap. He is a good drummer, great at sports and the life of the party once you get to know him. He definitely needs a good project.

  • Hopefully this year. He had two dramas this year but both flopped as expected. People criticize the other model-turned-actor Nam Joo Hyuk all the time but imo even he has more of a leading man charisma than JKY.
    Coming back to the topic, I think SHK will have to hardcarry this one unless the plot is amazing or something.

• I share your concern, these are mellow stills lol. I think they could have made the ML look more fashion-forward and more edgy - change the haircut, make him use accessories etc. It's set in the fashion industry but you really can't tell with the way they're dressed in the stills above. I also agree that these umbrella scenes are getting old, but yes, they look great no matter what scenario you put them in. Will check out the first 4 episodes and see if it's engaging enough.

• Jang Kiyong shows have been flops and he isn't exactly an IT boy or popular, so Hye Kyo is going to have to hard carry. She deserves better.

• For a ML working in the fashion industry, the way they style & clothe him is a bit underwhelming. SHK as usual looks magnificent. JKY's eyes, is he setting chemistry fire with Hyeri in gumiho drama? I haven't got time to watch it yet.

  • That's true, the fashion looks outdated. They should hire JCW's stylist in lovestruck in the city, his style was top notch. ?
