This is so romantic. I feel like I’m making my own drama with SSR and Suzy. Shades of the tragic 2nd lead syndrome in Scarlet Heart. Wook and Haesu had chemistry to die for in a library too..
I know, right. Wook was one of the most exciting characters in korean drama, much like Hyuk in TLE. The first part of Scarlet Heart, they built him into such a beautiful, grieving hero with that forbidden love spark with IU, I just fell for him…then he turned into someone so dark in the second half. I love that kind of character, grey with edges.
Yea, I’d say that his portrayal of the character was definitely more dark, while Kevin Cheng’s portrayal of the character was more sinister….
Comparatively, the production crew and the casting director of the Korean version definitely treated this as more of a chance to cast a younger group of people, with very few veterans, and only 1 new gen. veteran (Lee Joon Gi) to carry the young and inexperienced cast; Whereas, for the Chinese version, there’s definitely a bigger chunk of the cast that was veteran status and held more gravitas in their acting and portrayal of the characters

I was just going to post this picture. What on earth could be the reason for Suzy’s outfit here? I’m excited to find out!

She is a beautiful spy. She must wear a black hoodie to blend in with the books.

SSR is shippable with any character in his dramas. Proof: the last empress, Perfume, 3 dads 1 mum….and many more 🤣

That is the kind of character he excels in, dark and brooding, with sadness in his eyes. Please, make a drama for him with this kind of character.
