Is he going to be blonde? I'm not much a fan of his but that's not a god look on any Korean man, no matter how much they'd like to believe otherwise.

I would normally write off manhwas like these, but the art looks nice and it looks good. Doesn't mean the drama will be good though especially w/o knowing who the director and PD of it is.

Anyways, I'm really sick and tired of Jang Geun Seuk choosing these kind of roles in these kind of dramas though. I give up on him doing otherwise.

Okay i'mion, as long as he get some clean and manly style. I like him but he's kinda off theses days

so excited with this news...suk will be great and perfect in this..even i dont really like the story..i will watch it for sure because of him..i miss his acting..and dont worry hatters nobody asking u to watch this if u dont want to..

great. another project where he gets to have nasty hair and a ridiculous wardrobe, right? yeah. he would.

basically, jang geunseok... ew.

i am sooo over you.

Ah JKS...how we have waited for a new acting role. I'll be honest, I am worried that this is too close to this box that he has trapped himself into, but that's not entirely his fault. The industry pushes images because they sell. Diversification is dangerous when you can't predict the public's reaction.

Outside of his acting he seems to do whatever he wants, be whatever he wants...I wish the acting world afforded him the same freedom.

That being said...I think he's a good actor. He takes these seemingly vapid roles and makes them better. For all the hate Love Rain got, by the time it ended I really loved it. There was just an inherent sweetness and melancholy in all of it.

I'm really rooting for him...I will watch his new project for sure. I want so badly for him to break out from that box he's trapped in.

Depending on how the storyline is handled, this could do it. We shall see...

NO. I find the idea of the character having the most beautiful face in the world just ridiculous & the heroine is not even better since she apparently will be groveling at his feet.

I have no problem with the real JGS. It's his life and he's making bank doing what he likes. My interest in a drama is not based on my opinion of an actor's current lifestyle. JGS is a good actor and the writer is awesome; so will definitely check it out.

JSG has been drinking/partying way to much, it shows on his skin the kind of life style he has, and soon he won't be ''pretty'' idol he likes to be if he doesn't care about his image at alll;

Boo!...double-Boo!......Such a waste of a spine tingling voice and talent....*LOL*...Perhaps he will re-invent himself after military service?....I have a love hate relationship with Adam Sandler projects also.....I love it when he doesn't play himself/bread-butter roles and takes on the serious stuff....JGS is in this category...~shiver~

What JGS does as a person is not of concern but when he enacts a role, his appearance should not overshadow that of the character being played by him. It takes away from his performance as an actor because one starts seeing him more than the character in the drama. It was different when it was a requirement of the role as in YB or MMM. He should really shy away from roles like those and challenge himself with totally different ones that we can forget the actor and just enjoy the performance and the drama. As a well-wisher I truly hope he can do that in this new project.

Finally! Finally! pogo -did you see this news? I am holding out for one of those to-die-for smiles. Got first dibs - yes!

This might sound really mean but I honestly find it confounding why people see him as "pretty" - he really looks pretty ugly to me...

Finally the moment I've been oh so waiting for!!!! There's so many haters here criticizing him about his style and what not but he is who he is.

There's no doubt in mind that he's a brilliant actor. I too wish he would take on more of a serious role but I'm sure he will do well on this project. I wish him the best and know for a fact this drama will be a hit!

I could careless on how he dress or what he does in his personal life but speaking on his profession, it is very hard to take him seriously as an actor. Especially with the roles he's been in, feels like I'm watching JGS play himself.

Bye.

lol looks like this might be fun. I'll look out for this :D

Thank you for sharing the good news on Jang Keun Suk's upcoming drama Beautiful Guy/Pretty Man. I have been waiting for this news in anticipation.
It was enjoyable reading all the comments through to 69
Yeah, that's what you do when you love everything about JKS. Those who passed on a comment shows a commendable act because you know where to draw the line. The negative comments were interesting because it shows the magnetic effects JKS has on us. You can't resist sharing your time on him since he's still under your skin. Criticism makes us a stronger person.
Jang Keun Suk will be Jang Keun Suk because he did not become "The Jang Keun Suk" overnight. He is an admirable actor who has worked his way up to where he is and has 20+ years experience under his belt.
Some may like the image he expresses to play his character and some may not. Bottom line, he is playing his part because he is an ACTOR!
Complaints because you care enough on his smoking and drinking is because he shows this to you.
This is JKS. Honest, sincere and hard working. No pretense or misleading your love for him.
Professionals who have worked with him have nothing but praise on his acting skills, understanding, caring and most of all respect towards co-workers. I personally would add integrity for which i admire in him, following all his interviews and activities. Loved for a reason, by me.
So i cheer him on by saying: Go, Asia Prince Jang Keun Suk and show us more of your acting skills.
Yes! The most beautiful man in the world. Spiritually and physically. Eels only see you!
Note: Don't play the PS card because everyone in the industry knows his tight schedule since 2010 - present, he has no time to spare. A hard working successful person of which may not apply to many of us here. PEACE and GOD BLESS.

Um, I think he looks like an ajumma most of the time...

Great ^^

now i want him to cut his hair like that anime ...CAUSE HIS THIS LONG HAIR STYLE REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVE

Here I am hoping it will be starring 2NE1's Sandara Park! =X

jgs is an good actor so looking forward to this.
hopefully this role requires him to get a haircut. D:

am I the only one that doesn't find him pretty? his nosejob is extremely distracting imo. When I watched You're Beautiful, I found Lee Hongki and Jung Yonghwa infinitely more attractive than Jang Geunsuk.

He's a good actor but he seems like he only cares about appealing to his hallyu fanbase now but picking these vapid prettyboy roles. It's a shame because I liked him in stuff like hwang jin yi

mbc sbs or kbs?

I dunno, but, I guess I just love actors who aren't afraid to go beyond the norms, those who cultivates their own character and aren't afraid to express themselves. I can't wait to see what JGS will do this time plus I am always curious on how a manga, anime and novel will be adapted in live action, so, i'll definitely would love to watch this, given the ops.

Actually,JKS is quite pitiful.He seems to be totally lost.Up till now,the only dramas that audience accepted his acting are in 2000s.Put fans aside because fans are always blind to their bias wrong choices.It will be matter of time,3years?2years?,before he will be enlisted.Many actors at his generation have already tried and still trying to act in challenging roles.More or less,they are entitled as good actor and have strong support from entertainment industry and kdrama lovers.THEY MAY NOT TO BE FANS OF THEM.MS will definitely take away their fame.2 years in not a joke.Many younger actors will come up and over take them,like they did for previous generation.when they come back from MS,at least,quite a handful of them can say "i acted in this dramas,and I got excellent acting awards and etc." I wonder what will JKS say.YAB is good but not really recognised in Korea.His Asian whatever image is not accepted in industry,no recognition for acting other than best new actor awards years ago(popularity awards are not acting award),does not gain any respect as actor due to lack in depth in roles he played, full with weird scandals.Pathetic JKS.I seriously worry for u.I thought ur new drama can save you but this seems no different from ur previous roles.

*yaaawn* I''ll pass.

As an American woman, I come with a different perspective on the multi-faceted, talented Jang Keun Suk. I see an extremely handsome, well-spoken, well-educated gentleman with a generous nature supporting charities and funding scholarships for students at Hanyang University. I see a free-spirit with the joy of life in his heart, a creative spirit, who acts, sings, composes, dances, directs his own stage, DJ's, hosts. Jang Keun Suk cannot be pigeonholed into actor only, singer only....he's too talented in too many areas.
Who cares about the length or color of someone's hair, whether they choose to use eyeliner or not, I prefer to see the quality of the person. Korea is a free country, is it not? Then why is everyone so critical of one of their own, Jang KeunSuk?

In light of his recent projects, I've been questioning on whether I was wrong thinking that he takes acting seriously. All I see in his projects these days is JGS looking pretty and not the character he's portraying.

I used to like him back then but I think he's been too narcissistic lately, with his persona as Asia's Prince. Who the hell has give him that title... sigh...
But, I'll still see how the stories go, maybe I will be interested in the end... or no...

I love all Jang Keun Suk dramas. He portray each character differently not only in acting but appearance too. That's what make him different from any other actor in Korea. I know most of you don't like him in MMM but it is in this drama that I discover him. I want to watch a very light heart drama at that moment, the one that not complicated. Even if this drama has a unbelieveable storyline it's so funny that it make me feel great. I notice him there because he is so beautiful in that drama. I already seen BV at that time but I did not notice it is the same actor because eveything is so different. It is as through he a different person. His interperation of the role given to him is so amazing. I know about him when I do a seach in the net to see his other drama. Only then I discover he is the same person. I also love him in BV and I think that he still in the learning stage at that time. Just because his appearance is manly and 'normal' in BV everybody think it is his best work but I think he cannot outshine his 'maestro' in there. Later as I see his other drama I can see he is improving in acting but people just don't see it hard enough because the charater he portray is not a serious role and his appearance is not 'normal' by all those 'unprofessional' critic who think they are very good in giving judgement. You cannot compare a serious drama to a romantic comedy. Like you compare an apple to an orange. It is not easy to make people laugh as well cry in a drama and he can make people laugh and cry in his drama depending on his role. I salute him for that. So I'm definitely will look forward to his latest drama.

Meh...I was hoping he will pick a masculine drama/movie or maybe something dark/thriller that doesn't rely on his looks but his acting ability. I guess I'll have to wait again. He has the potential to be a great actor but his dramas that he had done in the past doesn't showcase it. Therefore, I'm not impressed. I like him but not enough to be a fan.
Additionally, I'm not a fan of the Boys Over Flowers/Playful Kiss so I'm not even going to attempt this drama as it's done by the same company who tends to prioritize looks over talents. I just wish JGS the best of lucks. Lately, his dramas didn't do so well in the ratings category.

wowww... a hundred + comments for a new drama of JKS that havent started yet. im sure, you cannot ignore this man. it seems that he is that popular on whatever he does for people to take time giving their positive or negative feedbacks.... well for the haters, as they say.... haters are confused admirers..... :D peace out

i'll be looking forward for this new project.he is such a very talented young actor in his generation.he is young and in the process of experimenting things and enjoying it to the hilt.what matters most are the experiences that he gained or he would gain from it .he would always be my number one favorite korean young actor.

I won't waste my time watching this. So PASS!

YAB sounds silly too and there are major plot holes in that drama. However YAB is still one of my fav k dramas. So i won't dismiss this drama first. The writer is giving a little hope. Hopefully it will turn out to be a nice drama.

masculine / manly ---> that is conventional

but as a real actor, he didn't limit himself to those roles..although, I somehow agree that his roles for these past years are those suited to teens, but he's in this age, right?? lol. He can choose manly / masculine characters at his right time.

on the contrary, the character in the 'Beautiful Man' may give him the flexibility to try out different charms. He can even act manly here (..okay, and change his hairstyle..which a lot of you are looking for obviously), because the character is exposed to successful and professional women. And a character who will seduce them is basically not the teenage-type (or girly..as you all say) of guy..rather, will also need to portray a successful and more serious-type of guy.

Let's just wait..I think he's already received too many negative comments even before the airing of his dramas, mostly from people who don't even follow him (meaning, baseless).

oh, and the rating -- is such a shallow measurement for an actor's ability. :) Good thing JKS himself doesn't look at it. He's more concerned on what he learns as an actor during the series. :)

There's a lot of pretty Korean actors out there. Song Joong-ki, Lee Jun-Ki, Kim Soo-hyun .. A lot! (minus my most favorite pretty boy who's in the military now- Yoo Seung-ho). Why Jang Geun-seok? Sorry dear fans of him~~ I just don't like his looks recently. Been seeing his posts on LINE, and he really looks ODD. >.<

P.S.
I used to like him before, too. Where's the goddamn pretty looks huh? :(

Hmmm..sounds typical idol/ teenage drama. I actually expecting him to take a challenging role, he need to be brave enough to step out from comfort zone. I used to like him because YAB, but nope..nope anymore. Hallyu diva euphoria seems drown into his mind

Oh my god, here he goes again, threatenning the world with another crappy serie, he just want to take advantage of the blind girls who love him, take their money and spend it with his real boyfriend.
I used to respect him before, but he is now ASIA PRINCEEEE , and wears makep up and dresses like any Ajumma so now I just laugh.

I want to see him coming out in the gay parade, as an actor, he has lost his skills, so I will watch the beautiful boy/girl , lol and laugh for a while

eeeeehhh..Jan geun suk puts me off. I wonder how the hell was he even considered handsome. Its just so puzzling, but i wont be watching this. He never impressed me anyway. He just puts on a face that looks like he is pissed and its getting stale, to think that he's been acting since younger days. That just pretty much spells bad.

I think some of you should respect jks fans,eels and jks himself.The drama isn't even started shooting and we don't know about the plot. Why guessing on something unseen? Believe me.I am not JKS fan.Not really.Never liked him before and till now.
But I think we should respect them(jks and his fans).

And some of you,eels shouldn't bring in other actors who are irrelevant into your conversation. Yong hwa,hyun joong,min ho and hong ki are nothing to do with this topic.Please don't start fan war,ok? I am gonna go out from this. Peace.

I'm done with JGS since watching "You're my pet" movie version.
" You my pet" is the manga I really love and he ruined it. Darn it!!!!!
I know he can be a good actor if he wants to, but money and his ego blind him so much, in the movie he only wanted to showcase how pretty he was and how good his singing was, even imitated NY broadway dancing and singing styles.
OMG , I was so embarrassed for him and cover my eyes half of the times, I was so scared to look at him, and this was not a horror movie for god sake!
I do not call him a professional actor any more.
He is just an idol to me and I'm done with him.
