Ryu Joon-yeol and Hwang Jung-eum get handsy for Lucky Romance
by girlfriday
I feel like Entertainer and Lucky Romance are already competing against each other with dueling couple photo shoots, even though the shows won’t be overlapping until late May, and not even for very long at that. But it’s inevitable when you’ve got Ji Sung going up against Hwang Jung-eum, and Hyeri going up against Ryu Joon-yeol… It’s like a drama plot with a love square where everyone dates everyone’s exes.
Here’s the Lucky Romance couple for Marie Claire, getting all snuggly and looking great. The more I see this short cut on Hwang Jung-eum, I like the look. Or maybe it’s just styled really well in the magazine spreads.
She’s playing a quirky character who’s obsessed with luck (or her major lack thereof), and will chase after Ryu Joon-yeol at the advice of a fortuneteller. A genius fortuneteller, clearly. He’s a numbers-and-facts kind of guy, an engineer and CEO of a gaming company who only believes in things he sees. Lee Chung-ah and Lee Soo-hyuk co-star as their first loves and rival love interests.
So far, their photo shoots have been sexy and their teaser cute, so I’m anticipating good things for this romance. I’ll just be sitting here with all my fingers and toes crossed until May, willing the show to be good. It will be. IT WILL BE!
Lucky Romance follows Goodbye Mr. Black and premieres May 25 on MBC.

also fondness for LSH aside, i gotta be honest that his acting range is still a bit...lacking. there's a reason he still doesnt have a lead role yet. while others his age who've been in less dramas got them alrdy. there are plenty of pretty guys out there, he needs to wow people with more than just his (considerable) beauty.

Also, as fans, we really really need to stop focusing on outward appearance and start to focus on acting skills. That is what they are there to serve us, their acting. Every other thing is just a by-product. This is why they keep shoving unskilled actors down our throats. Because it seems the demand is more for how they look rather than how well they can act. Please, lets get our priorities right.

I'm not saying Lee Soo Hyuk is not hot as well. He made me feel all tingly in Scholar who walks in the night :). I'm just saying that everyone has what works for them. And Lee Soo Hyuk being gorgeous doesn't mean that Ryu Joon Yeol is not hot as well. Everyone can't have the clean cut good looks because then they would all look the same and what's the fun in that? I'm for the team Ryu Joon Yeol makes me melt. Lee Soo Hyuk has me all hot and bothered. Let's enjoy both men and the amazingness they do to our bodies and heart rates ;).

I find these kind of comments so boring now,as in every HJE post???We knew it already ... that she had this and that...so???...is that a big deal??? Did the korean audience have an issue with that?Did they turn away after knowing that HJE has PS? No no no, she was even the most loved actor in 2015,that means it not an issue.As HJE said in oneof her interview "an actor is the most beautiful in the eyes of his audience when he is acting very well".I think that settles this issue!

You're not alone! While I wouldn't call RJY ugly, I don't find him particularly attractive either. I can see why other people would though, I think it's just a matter of taste.
And yes, LSH really needs to get cast as the main lead some time soon! He's proven himself to be such a solid actor that never disappoints (not even in the mess that was Neighborhood Hero).

While everyone have freedom to say their opinion, I think you should refrain yourself for bashing people. Ugly is a rather strong word for me. Everyone have their own preference and you should respect it. Don't go around and spread not-nice words.

It might be wishful thinking, but I hope that what most people mean when they say ugly, is that they just don't find the person attractive and that they do realize that it's simply a matter of Personal Taste (huhu)?
There's always something that makes a person beautiful, but most people don't bother looking for it. While I do agree with the original commenter in that I don't find RJY attractive, I would never call him, or anyone else for that matter, ugly, because you're absolutely right: it's a very negatively powerful word that shouldn't be applied to people.
I have to admit that I can most certainly see why other people are swooning at RJY's feet haha, he does have some awesome facial features and a lot of charisma :) And more importantly, what truly matters is whether he can act or not.

He's not ugly. This person or people who called them ugly was infected by Korean people mind. When people think you're ugly you can't get a job. Solutions ? PS. And then they showing off their plastic face, a fake jaw which can cut onion, a pair eyes that had been fixed but proudly lying is real.
And being fake is whqt they proud of. Sad but true.
But let me ask you does song kang ho was a flower boys ? Nope. Did Lee byunghyun was a flower boys ? Nope. Sol kyunggu, Choi minshik, and a bunch of Korean BIG actors called ugly . only the exception of Jung woosung and jang donggun amongst the "ugly" actor. and where was that flower boys idol without talent go ?

April 19, 2016 at 9:45 AM
Uhm, this is @Guest: I don't think the big names you listed are considered "ugly" under either Asian or Western standards. Lee Byunghun (not a fan), Jung Woosung, Choi Minshik, and others were considered the hawt oppas back in the day. Well, and they're still hot. Lol.
From what I see on the Internet, Korean netizens seem to like Ryu Joonyeol's facial features as much as we do. Let's not jump to the assumption the "Korean people mind" is all about plastic surgery and obsession with double eyelids because that sounds pretty offensive.

I understand where you're coming from but please do extend the same courtesy to others that you would like to see extended to RJY/your favorites. Saying "i dont know how you think or use that brain of yours actually" is a direct attack to ita and not just her comment.
Also, please don't bring the 'other' fandom into this. I don't know for sure which fandom ita belongs to? Even if it is the 'other' fandom, please don't take one fan's response to represent that of the entire fandom. (If I were to do that, I'd have to assume some less than positive things about all RJY fans based on your comment. But I won't.)
Guys...talent will shine through regardless of looks. There's no need to worry, and no need to overdefend RJY or put down "pretty-faced" actors. There are plenty of people who are fans of both. If you feel as I do that talent matters more, please judge actors by their ability. Reacting negatively to someone with conventionally good looks is just as bad as insulting someone with unconventional ones. They're all actors trying to do their best in a cutthroat entertainment industry. Let's support their efforts instead. Peace :)

I dont know whether you just wrongly choose your word or really mean it but for me 'ugly' is a strong word. I dont mind if you find him not attractive but to call him ugly and said producers is blind just because your favorite actor not cast as main cast is totally rude. It not like RJY is terrible actor. Do you know how many veteran actor need to wait for years before they got leading roles? And beside you call RJY ugly, you also said he look like squid beside LSH???let me tell you LSH is not angel or the most handsome man in this universe.
Everyone have their opinion but they need to carefully choose their word & not arrogant. For me, your behavior/thinking/word is more important than your face.

respect is the key
April 19, 2016 at 6:33 AM
Hi ita,
I read all your comments so I have some things that I really want to tell you.
First of all RJY's role in a Reply serie has nothing to do with luck. He was in Reply serie because his acting was good enough to convince the writer and PD of that drama that out of the all the people that auditioned for that role (for the record KGP and AHJ that acted in the same drama with him said "every actor in South Korea auditioned for Reply 1988") he was the perfect one to act as JH and they were absolutely right: RYJ was perfect as JH and his acting made the character a memorable one.
Second he is not a nobody that just acted in a Reply serie. RYJ acted in some movies prior the drama and everyone that saw his act in that movies was amazed and in love with his talent. Not only common fans, there are many articles of people that works in the movies industry that admire him: actors, directors and reporters.
So you see, you only watched a Reply serie and you wrongly believe that RYJ's fame is only because of Reply 1988 when in truth Reply 1988 only made him more famous out of Korea in a very short time but he already started his rise to stardom before the drama. But I'm glad he did Reply 1988 because thanks to the drama his rise to stardom was faster.
Last, don't think that you got so many replies because he is everyone baby in Dramabeans ( even if this article is dedicated to RJY and HJE so many of his fans that loves him are here because they want to know more about his new drama, don't know why you're here if you hate him), you got so many replies because you were rude.
You're free to think and say what you want but with respect and calling someone ugly is not respectful.
I would like you to think 2 seconds before writing that kind of words again and think this: should I write this word? will I be offended by this word if used to describe me?
If the answer is: yes, I would be offended than that word that you want to write is not respectful.
Being respectful is really easy: don't do to others what you don't want done to you.

I've seen both So Hyuk and Jun Yeol's drama.
IMHO, RJY is the better actor.
We have dozens pretty boys in k-drama land. Sometimes they bore me, because there's no depth to their acting. Good on the surface only.
So I don't mind the so called ugly actors if they can deliver great acting.
RJY just has something special in the way he act that it just pull you in. He is a natural. Very much deserving to be a main lead.

honestly Ryu is p good looking, he just doesnt compare to the more glammed up usual young guys in the k-ent biz. he looks more like an above average joe. but that's kinda his appeal imo? cuz there's plenty of hot model actors now like soo hyuk (altho i do find SH to be very gorgeous, and distinctive looking but no question he LOOKS like a guy who used to be a model lol) but yeah honestly if Ryu did the usual plastic surgery esp getting his eyes "fixed" then yeah he'd prob meet the standard more. i hope he never changes tho. it sucks so many people call him ugly because of it.
ah well, at least his good acting skills were acknowledged so he should be fine in k-ent for a while. tbh if they cast him for roles where his looks arent a big factor (in this case he's a smart ass ceo of a gaming company, in which case he's perfectly cast. cuz no way in hell would a lee soo hyuk type be running a game company im sorryyyy not buyin it)

Exactly! It's his more normal looks that make him so hot....I want to see him in jeans and a white tee ;-)
And I remember Rain saying that he got a lot of pressure to do double the lid surgery and more when he first started, cause he was "too ugly" to do well in show biz, but he refused. Thank god! I love his eyes.
Variety is love <3. I'm happy when stars with different types of looks get famous.

I just find it ironic that RJY is called ugly when LSH isn't a traditional beauty, imo. LSH caught my eye in WC and I haven't seen anything else he's acted in yet. RJY got my attention in R - that shan't be named. So this is my second project with both. Wait, no LSG was in What’s Up but not a large role. I regress, looks wise they both have an unique charm

Isn't it obvious? Acting skills and subjective beliefs aside-- Because Lee Soohyuk's fanbase and public recognition is nowhere near Ryu Joonyeol's, so why would they give Lee Soohyuk the lead role. Do people not know how the industry works or what.

Yes Ryu Junyeol had a good character in a very popular series, so did everyone else who rise to stardom, Lee Min Ho with BoF or recently, Song Joong Ki with DoTS. There's nothing wrong with that.
As for your question, you need to ask the casting directors out there. Sometimes it doesn't just a matter of who can act or not, or who's more handsome, many handsome actors can act, the point is that whether they'd be suitable for the character or not. Maybe in this drama, the casting director thought RJY would be more suitable for the lead role.

See, I think that's the point. Lee Soo Hyuk's spectrum is by far not as broad as Ryu Joon Yeol's. He is the typical model with a little acting aside. He came a far way, really loved him in Valid Love, but his voice is not trained and he is still very one dimensional. His parts are more about the looks/brooding than the acting (think Scholar).
Ryu Joon Yeol otoh is a true actor, who was very good in Socialphobia, too. And the folks casting know this as well as they are striking the hot iron now.

If his acting is terrible even he got good character in most popular series this world no PD will cast him as lead. Lee Soo Hyuk can act but do you know how they got their roles? It just not like they dont need to do auditions & discussion within the drama company, Crews & the company that represent the actors. Even if he/she passed the auditions but after discussions about payment, schedule, directing & etc have conflict do you think that actor get any roles? And just because he can act, PD will simply give him roles? They have so many criteria they look from actors. You as someone that I believe know nothing about what happen behind that all casting dont just accused someone blind and be careful with your word.

Thumbs up for HJE and RJY for being able to produce that strong chemistry and at the same time showing subtle and sweet look for the couple photoshoot!
RJY looks like he wants to protect his one and only girl in the world by linking his hand with HJE, and putting his arms over HJE looks like he wants to look friendly but cool with his partner. HJE looks like she trusts RJY a lot from this photoshoot. 둘다 짱!
I'm really impressed with this photoshoot, taking note that RJY and HJE don't look awkward at all! *clapclapclap*. HJE is one of the few actresses out there who can rock that pixie haircut, aside from Go Jun Hee in SWP.
I agree with most of you here that acting is not about the looks, it is so, in most of K-Dramas, however IMO acting skills overpowers looks when it comes to a drama/movie production. RJY has his own unique charms and idk if you would agree with me, but he's like a chameleon who can adapt to so many characters (at least from what I've seen from his previous works) and delivered really great portayals for each of them. In the end it would be a waste if an actor fails to show and produce the chemistry with the other actors/actresses, and sometimes that just comes with pure luck. In this case with the photoshoot, I can see their chemistry already, and it's really good.

These are very beautiful pictures of them. I've always thought she was pretty even if I don't care for her much as an actress. I like the short cut on her. Some people think she looks like a boy. I think you wouldn't say that if so many korean idols boys didn't look so much like girls with their baby faces and all that lip gloss. The best way to tell them all apart is hair length. Flower boy does mean pretty as a girl.
They must either put contour make up on them or photoshop in their skin tone because they both have beautiful skin in this shoot. Not the usual 'please catch me I'm about to faint" pasty white that so many koreans prefer.

She's an actress. She gets paid to pretend. It wouldn't be very smart of her to marry a man that didn't support her work. I don't really understand this line of thinking. It's like mixing fantasy with reality. The reality is there's nothing sexy about filming even a bed scene. There are dozens of people less 3 ft away from you watching and telling you how to tilt your head, where to put your hands and directing your every move. I'm fairly certain that if a couple of actors start liking each other on the film set it has very little to do with what's going on between them in front of the camera.

If kdramas were like Western shows I won't be having these same misgivings...but kdramas hold up some pretty high morals. So when I see a woman who's married in real life, taking on some intimate scenes with another male, I might feel some drawbacks. Of course she's acting, we know. And during filming there's all that attention from the crew. But what the viewers get to see onscreen is the end-all. Onscreen, she'll be seen kissing etc with her co-star at some point. It'll be hard then to separate the thought of her as an actress vs a wife

It doesnt have to be like that. U know, mostly i like an actor/actress bcus of their works. I like RJY bcus his awesome acting in R88. I think he is okay. He dont have to have those pretty face to show how great his acting is, because he is a great actor. He can act!
Those stupid people who think that actor /actress should have goodlooking face are very lame and descriminative.
U have to learn to acknowledge someone by their skill more than their looks.
RJY has an aura. I can feel it through his acting and i proud of him... good luck for your next project. I wish this drama will has a great rating because of it's storyline. And people will watch it because of the plot, chemistry and acting skill more than how the actor/actress looks!

RJY is not a flower boy, but RJY made me blushing and broken hearted when he was Jung Hwan. He made me want to join him in his trip during his YOF journey and he also made me upset when he was Yangge (Socialphobia). I am now looking forward to know his Je Suho just by looking at his pictures with HJE. I think as an actor, he has a charisma that make us want to know more about his character. I hope this drama will be another good project for him since I have never seen any of the director and writer previous projects.

If people think he's ugly, who cares? IMO the kid has a unique gorgeous face with lovely features that really sets him apart especially when he's styled like he is in this shoot.
I finally started watching AM 88 and even though I'm not that far into the story or attached to his character, I was looking at his face closely and thinkinf, this is what people consider ugly?? I think most are spoiled by almost unnatural hyper attractive pretty boys that the industry likes to focus on. I'm thinking people think he's ugly but find Kim woo bin handsome... Ok then...
ANYWAY looking forward to this drama!!!! I'm so happy that despite all the sh** international k drama watchers (and sometimes Korean natives) give these two, they are still kicking add and taking names doing something they love.

Wow. I did not expect the war in the comments section here. I should know better, really, and just enter into any discussion of a R1988 alum ready for the onslaught.
I actually do remember thinking Ryu Joon Yeol wasn't that attractive, until I saw him act. He stole my heart in the first week and then show broke it (more like strangled it, really--slowly, just to watch it bleed). Anyway, I do think there are certain actors whose charm is more apparent in motion. Joo Won, anyone?
That said, I don't like to see judgment calls made about actors based entirely on their looks. Yes, I like attractive leading men (and so does the TV industry). But I'd take a real actor over, say, Taecyon, any day of the week.
And guys! Lee Soo Hyuk and Ryu Joon Yeol are BOTH in this show--we get to spend two months watching not one, but TWO damn fine men heating up the screen. It doesn't have to be one or the other! Sheath your claws and let's enjoy this one!
