So much of Rowoon’s silliness as Jung-woo in The Matchmakers, so little time!! Above, one of the best, a face that sets up his initial character as well as the tone of the show.
Here, two examples of the patented Jung-woo penguin flap!! In the first, he’s as disappointed as anyone else the the erotic novel gets, um, interrupted before the good parts. And, in the second, he’s so happy to be out with Soon-deok that he trips/dances and flaps with glee. Gah, so silly. So adorable.
That moment was so good!!! The seething annoyance, Lol 😂 I have to rewind scenes so often to look at everyone’s face – there’s just SO MUCH happening at every moment!
He’s just such a sweet, silly, sincere nerd, I ADORE that!!! I love him – “sweet nerd” is such a lovely character, and I do appreciate Rowoon’s acting and the PD’s directing that he’s funny, but not made fun of by the drama… he’s silly, but not a caricature or slapstick. He’s sensitive and wants romance, he just hasn’t had any practice and has been consistently thwarted, poor boy ♥️😍♥️ (*I’m through episode 8 currently*)
Agreed, he impressed me in the show, and the PD too, for not loving him *too much* and all the characters were allowed to shine. Wonderful gifs. Thank you.
I was trying to find another gif I think you posted earlier but search is so hard. Rowoon did a sort of self-deprecating smile a la NKM. And I thought, oh, this boy’s craft could grow.
Aaaahhh the penguin flaps! 🐧🐧🐧 The gif where he’s in pink and trips at the end just keeps getting better and better the longer I watch it! ☺️ And those sleeves are just begging to be penguin flapped, but I appreciate that he does it even when he’s wearing a different style! Rowoon really knew his character.
I’ve looked through this whole post at least 10 times, and at every gif I stop and think, “that’s the best one!” – and then I get to the next and think, “no, that’s the best one!” again and again, ad infinitum.
Flappy bird! Blinking no AND yes! Squinchy face! Flapping again! All GOLD.
Squinchy face…AND squinchy fingers!! It’s the new “squee,” squiiiiinch. 😋
Rowoon makes my job easy, tho. You should see me squinting at the screen trying to decide if PMY can ever be made giffable. I think she may not be. It’s like she only exists in a sequence of stills that, once they’ve passed by, can’t ever be conceived of as movement again. Or, maybe it’s just me.

For me, it’s the way he looks up slightly at first before lifting his eyes all the way to look at O-bong. So. Much. Exasperation. 😂

A fan favorite, for its artistry, but also so-in-character silly behavior.

And last…silly even at his own WEDDING! So what if he was suprised!!! Is that any call to be this adorable with your face??

Well, I don’t know about “good,” but I am the one in direct control of @attiton‘s complete GIF library, organized by drama 😉
I’d like to think I’m good though, so thanks for the encouragement!
