Song Joong Ki Offered Male Lead Role in Romance K-drama My Youth

View Comments

• His latest movie is romance melo, so he hasn't left the genre. I didn't see any news that this new drama is a romance melo.

• SJK looks like forever young to me. I did not finish popular Vincenzo and Reborn Rich is just ok to me. But I used to like him a lot in his early works such as A Deep Rooted Tree, A Werewolf Boy, The Innocent Man, and Descendants of the Sun, most of which were produced before he married SHK. He was an actor with soul and depth back then. I somehow don't get his acting post DoS even the latest dramas were still hits.

• His Reborn Rich OTP was meh….

• He seems to like picking up melo romance.

• Weird for a 38-year-old married father to be doing a drama titled "My Youth"—unless this is similar to "When My Love Blooms" that featured younger counterparts?

  • Well that’s ageist

• If his agency are producing he wasn't offered the role, he is casting himself in the lead role.

  His acting in his last drama Reborn Rich was shockingly bad. I have never seen such poor acting him from him before. He also had zero chemistry with Shin Hyun Been so it will be interesting to see if he can work up some chemistry with the female lead for this new drama

  • TBH, I think he's never been the most dynamic actor. He just got famous and gets to pick the best scripts.. I'll watch anything he's in basically because it's probably going to be interesting and of good quality.

    But Reborn Rich belonged to Lee Sung Min. That show totally fizzled out without him.

    • He was really good in Arthdal Chronicles, although drama is not so famous

    • @Olesya

      I didn't watch Arthdal Chronicles - I'll take your word for it!

  • He was freakin’ electrifying in Vincenzo and has always had decent chemistry with his FLs until Shin Hyun Bin (who bizarrely only had 6 min of screen time per episode), so I’ll cut him slack for RR. That drama seems to be an outlier because he was fine in the noir movie he filmed after?

• He was really bad in Reborn Rich. Hopefully this new one will be better. I presume by title it my might be about some unhappiness how his life is considering he can't exactly play a youth at his age.

• I started his last 3 dramas, was excited about it but got bored and dropped it. Lee Sung-min was dynamic in Reborn Rich...I watched the drama for him.

  But rating wise, the dramas were doing well by SK standards? I noticed the rating increased afew times from Eps 1 to the end. Netflix also invested in marketing the drama, it did well in Netflix. It was quite highly ranked.

  Even thru he no longer appeal to me but I am still interested in this upcoming project. I wonder if I will drop it midway.

• He was beyond awful in Reborn Rich, the pursed lips trying to act youthful was sooo cringey. I hope he brushed up on his acting.

• I hope his acting won't be as bad as his last drama. He was so soulless. Poor screenwriters and director the supposed male lead just don't want to act sincere. hope this writers luck on getting song joong ki as her male lead
