Idol Turned Serious Actor Junho Draws Mad K-netizen Praise for His Sageuk Acting, Diction, and Onscreen Presence in The Red Sleeve Cuff

View Comments

• His diction, acting, screen presence, charisma...the guy is killing it! Not to mention his chemistry with LSY. I agree with K-netz for once. ?

• Of the three idol male leads in currently airing sageuks, he's the only one who is outstanding. Kudos, Junho!

• Waiting for at least 10 episodes to dig in, I tried Bossam and LOTRS but didn’t finish both they just fizzled out in the second half lol

• LSY was amazing in Kairos but here she just doesn’t do it for me .

  • why? she is seriously good here. a natural talent.

  • I partly agree. I found her acting a bit off in EP2. And she overdid some of her facial expressions in some scenes. But I think she's back on track in this week's episodes.

    • what did she overdid? don't get the criticsme. I actually like her more than Jun Ho here

• Amazing onscreen presence completely agree. I hope his ranking in the actor list goes up.

  • Higher TV ratings please. MBC must be so happy The Veil did well and now Red Sleeves. After having flops like My Ladylord, MBC executives would now be all smiles. Their efforts are paying off. Even Kairos which rated lower got positive reviews feedback.

• I've been one of Junho's ahjumma fans since his drama Just Between Lovers. But I couldnt finish his other dramas after that.

  I'll wait until this drama is over to binge-watch it. And now I'm so happy with how other praise Junho's good acting.

  • Another ahjumma fan here, since Memory and Chief Kim. Versatile, isn't he? After reading this I guess he can do anything. I'd call his style bravura.

  • He was amazing in Just Between Lovers. I'm sad that he didn't get recognition for that drama because of the low viewership in Korea. He didn't do it for me in his follow ups though. I'm glad he's getting praise for this drama.

• Junho has always been good. I remember him from the bit part he had in that movie with Han Hyojoo. He was a scene stealer even then and had more presence than even Jun Woosung who was the villian. Not surprised that he has good sageuk diction either. Junho works extra hard on everything and is a stubborn perfectionist. He's also good at having chemistry with literally everyone including Nam Gongmin and Jang Hyuk. He even had extremely good chemistry with Kim Sohyun in the short music videos for 2AM. He deserves finally getting his widespread acting acclaim.

  • Cold Eyes! I agree with you I’ve always found him to be good too, his pick of projects aren’t that memorable in general maybe, but so happy he is doing so good in Red Sleeves.

• I prefer Park Eun-Bin as a Crown Prince, her acting is more impressive for this role. She's tiny but fill the space with charisma.

  Junho is good but until now I didn't find him extraordinary. He didn't have any scene that made me think he was specially better than any other actors in sageuk.

  • Ah, there you are. Of course this mediocre Rowoon fan will jump in to shade the better idol actor who's getting all the praise and attention both locally and internationally. And bringing up PEB? Is this a 'who is a better crown prince?' competition post?

    • Damn! LOLOL!!!

    • I didn't speak about Rowoon but about Park Eun-Bin. I like her as an actress and it's why I watched all her dramas.

      They're both playing a Crown Prince so yes it's not weird to compare. And I prefer her Crown Prince than Junho's one for now. Her character is more interesting and she's playing it perfectly.

      Lee Joon-Hyuk was pretty good in The Royal Secret Agent Joy as Crown Prince too.

    • This is an opinion, so just let her be.

    • Why you dragging Rowoon here ? Junho is a veteran Idol Actor, and Rowoon is still newbie in acting and in Sageuk and Knetz are praising his improving. He's not the best but he growth.

    • ah there you are, your avatars give you away pea brain.

    • tweedle ddd :-) and tweedle dum factsonly

    • Smiley twit has checked in! Trying to start a Rowoon fan war & picking on SIG fans. Thinking no one would notice. Carrying pretending as different people. LOLOL.

  • Park Eunbin has had acting experience for more than 20 years. By this time it is understable and expected that she should have acting prowess...

    But diminishing Junho (performance) who has been praised by veterans, co-stars and general netizens (watchers who usually are high up critical with saguek speech in stars) by saying "he didnt have any scene that made thing he was specially better than any other actors in saguek" kinda speaks for itself.

    • I didn't say he was bad. I said that I didn't find any scene who made me think he was outstanding in this role. He's good yeah but it's all for me. I didn't watch episode 4 yet.

      Jun-Ho is acting since 10 years, he's not a newbie anymore and not his first historical job neither.

    • @Sayaris you should watch epi 4 then. The post which is trending on qoo is because of a clip taken from this episode.

    • Well, i love Junho but @Sayaris has the right to not be attracted by his performance or by him . I'm not attracted by Lee Byung Hun's acting even if he has a house full of awards . It's like that . I like Park Eun Bin and i've watched all her dramas and enjoying the king's affection but even if her acting is good i can't believe that the characters never guess that she was a girl . The best performances as a guy until now are Moon Geun Young And Yoon Eun Hye .

    • @Sayaris He has not been acting for 10 years. His first role was a small part in Cold Eyes (2013).

  • I want to share my opinion. If u have watched the whole 17 episodes, u would have changed how u viewed junho. He is an idol, so i thought he would have a mediocre acting skills, but no.. his acting exceed some of actors. He suits to become the CP and king. His body is perfect wearing the CP’s outfit and king’s robe. I wouldnt say the same thing for PArk eun bin. She has petite figure and she looked drown in that big cp’s outfit.

• Preach! So true. I don’t have anything but praise for Lee Jun-ho. He is so good in the The Red Sleeve and the drama itself is amazing overall. Lee Jun-ho’s chemistry with Lee Se-young is as amazing. I love both of them now.

• He is fabulous! He looks like Rain.
