Watching Kim Hyun Joong acting really makes me want to puke sometimes. I mean, I loved him in WGM when he was somewhat natural, but in Boys Over Flowers and in Playful Kiss he was so irritating: his face was just stone 24/7. I’m glad the record bad ratings reflected his acting skills though.

Park Su-Jin is even worse in my opinion though. Couldn’t think of a worse transition than that. I mean, her face just kinda annoys me…but if her acting was okay I would’ve been fine with it, but it wasn’t fine. When she was in My Girlfriend is a Nine Tailed Fox it was so obvious that no one liked that couple (normally a minority would like the non-mainstream couple). Her voice and looks are naturally annoying…just back out, Park Su-Jin. No one likes you!

Is Yoona an actress? She bored be to death in Cinderella Man. She should do more high-school kinda dramas..how about trying out for Bae Yong Joon’s drama..”Dream High”. It’s sort of like a Glee type of drama…she should be in it. That would very much work for her..indeed!!

hmmm ok ..gonna really irritate the heck out of most people here…my apologies up front. The Korean F4 were all handsome etc etc….but they all seemed to be first timers on the screen…given I had watched Japanese version FIRST…it will always be my favorite. As far as Kim Hyun-Joong havent seen him in anything but BOF and considering the role..I always felt it wasnt much to work with anyway and they all were a little “stiff” bad writing etc….but hey it was an enjoyable waste of time. Since he is cute…as are the others..I’m hoping with time and maturity they will flesh out..
After all TOP didnt do much but look stoic and kill…not too bad. I am willing to give KHJ that much.
Athena…I wished they would have brought back the second lead actress…as a lead..she impressed me the most from IRIS.

its a bit doom for yoona SNSD in the world of acting..
but for me the Super Junior has prove that idol star can be talented as well,
as part of their member where active in acting ( Kibum, Heechul & Siwon)
some make a big hit in musical theatre ( Heechul, Kangin, Sungmin & Yesung),
its all about talent and hard work not about how they’ve been label as..

I love Lee Seunggi’s acting in Shining Inheritance (Brilliant Legacy), his singing performances, his variety show performances (Strong Heart, 2Nights1Day). I think he’s a multitalented star! His transition from being an actor to a singer to a variety show comedy man is awesome

And I do agree with @E’s comments about Lee Seunggi, even when he’s singing his own song on the kdrama Shining Inheritance, he sings it as his character SunWoo Hwan instead of as his real self which is obviously hard to do.

I think that Lee Seunggi has proven everyone that he’s a star who can do anything and everything well

i have to agree with the writer who said that seung gi’s acting is impressive. he really portrays Sun Woo Hwan character very well and makes the transition from bad boy image to good boy image very smoothly in that drama.hope he can improve his acting skills and always success in everything that he does.

Some idol stars acting are not that great and I honestly think that they should just stick with being a singer…isn’t that what they wanted to be in the first place? I find it amusing that people will complain and downright bash the singer on how their acting is boring or terrible, but they end up winning awards etc. Though, some have improved over the years and there are idol stars who can act and have the talent for it… I don’t understand why it’s the current trend. I’m a bit tired of seeing a former or current artist in so many dramas… i rather see up and coming new actors given the spotlight or ones that have been overlooked.

Anyways…to the comment a couple posts up, I do agree that it might not be the actor and just probably the writing, or the way it was directed. There is probably a lot of different reasonings *shrugs*
