I pride myself on being pretty good at placing faces and figuring out where I recognize actors from despite full body and character transformations, but this one from Will You Have Dinner With Me? literally made my jaw drop because he was so familiar yet I could not figure out from where for the life of me. Kudos to the actor, Lee Hyun Jin, for making such a massive transformation and being so unrecognizable from his last role.

(Also: this show is much better than I expected, but the two second leads can go jump in a fiery pit together. Seriously, what is the deal with exes in dramaland coming back and expecting to be taken back at the drop of a hat when they treated the other person like sh*t? How can they be so shameless?)

    I’m surprised that you found him familiar at all! I should also add that I am VERY BAD at placing faces! 😀

      It was the bone structure in his face – it was so familiar. His facial structure reminds me a bit of Shin Hyun-soo around the cheekbone area, especially styled like this, but I knew it wasn’t him. I remember seeing that resemblance during Sky Castle too, which was why it was bugging me even more.

      But also, his character here is the polar opposite of his Sky Castle character and it’s so weird that he’s talking all the time instead of silently standing behind Kim Seo-hyung.

    I didn’t recognize him at all.
    And regarding the exes, I just hope a meteorite falls down on them. Drama Gods, please, listen.

      I just…can’t with those two. I hate the “I left to spare you the suffering” excuse because it’s an excuse that appears selfless on the surface but is really incredibly selfish and reveals how little they think of their partner and how little respect they have for them.

      Also, Son Na-eun is a terrible actress. I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt here…but no. She can’t emote to save her life. And Lee Ji-hoon deserves better. But the leads are so cute I think I can stick it out.

      No @eazal, they deserve the truck of doom. Where is it when you need it the most?

        I’ve been waiting for a truck of doom since episode 3.
        Now I want a new trope: the meteorite trope.
        They are so terribly bad, they deserve it!!!!

    Whoa! I had a feeling I had seen him somewhere! Kudos to you, @snarkyjellyfish for figuring this one out!

    Also, “… but the two second leads can go jump in a fiery pit together.” ….. Truer words have never been spoken, er, written! I’m just soooo done with those two.

    OMG! Incredible detective work. I never would have placed him!
