When I read LJJ dissertation title I laughed for a good 10 mins. And then looking at LJJ’s 1st thumbnail picture, all serious looking just made me crack-up even more. I so want to read his dissertation (translated of course). I wonder what approach he took when he played beach volley ball ? For real LJJ….

I always look askance at actors/actresses who major in theater- I feel like it’d be cooler if they have other interests besides acting and theater. Like it’d be cool if they majored in history, biology, literature, etc.

And i wonder how long a dissertation for a masters has to be in south korea. If Lee Jung-Jae did an amazingly flawless job on his role in Typhoon, then I can give him some credit for his dissertations. But seriously- aren’t dissertations supposed to contribute to the field of study. I don’t think a diary, written in scholarly language, of how he tackled his specific role in a specific movie will really add to the acting world. I mean it would help if the role was a well-known historical figure – King Sejong- so people can either recreate or add to his portrayal of this figure. Or if he had written about portraying a certain type of role.

I have to agree with some people here- some of your commentaries on celebs/celeb culture and episode recaps can pass for masters dissertation material. The analyses of your Gourmet episodes are AMAZING! I don’t think the writers could have done better than you.

Performance-based disciplines will accept what is essentially a performance as a thesis or dissertation. This is often the case for music performance as well as theater majors, so given his major perhaps it’s not too surprising his film work counted as thesis work.
