With the amount of chemistry han hyo joo had with all her co stars in The beauty inside movie. I think she can even have chemistry with a pot of beans😂
No hate here…but why is fight my way cast getting a reward vacation? Their highest rating so far has been 13.0 right? I thought vacations were for higher ratings or does KBS do things differently?😃
This is the only drama that has been getting both high buzz (it recently topped the Content Power Index) and (relatively) high ratings. I suppose KBS considers FMW a huge success given the low viewership for all recent and currently airing dramas.
I thought 13 was pretty high these days? Even weekend family dramas barely break 30 anymore. The drama ratings report Dramabeans puts out has only Ruler getting higher.
a lot of noona romance is going on in k-entertainment these days..guhyesun and ahnjaehyun..shiminah-kimwoobin..namjoohuk-leesungkyung, rain-kimtaehee, songhyekyo-songjoongki. i\’m waiting for more!!!
wait!! but how long have they been dating that they are already getting married?!!(i aint criticizing…i’m just curious..just saying before songsong shippers begin to go on a downvote spree)😂😂😂😂😂
I’m guessing pretty much at least from the end of DOTS, so give or take 1 1/2 years? I noticed Korean stars tend to marry anywhere between 6 months to two years of dating but they do get married a lot older than their not famous counter parts so I’m sure they know what they want by then. I bet all those fan girls who were told they were crazy are feeling quite smug right now lol
I agree with @heyitschristina
Not only do they get married a little older than most do, but it also ties into their very traditional culture of ‘once you date, you go until the end’, ‘the end’, meaning, marriage and beyond 🙂 Song Hye Gyo has had her share of –public–relationships and break-ups (first, Lee Byung Hun, then Hyun Bin) so for sure she knows what she wants; And of course, Song Joong Ki seems like a man who acts upon things and says things very intentionally and is very meticulous and serious about all his decisions… I believe that is why this couple decided to let the news hit the airwaves only after they’re engaged and not when they were still in the dating stages
I remember I read an interview he did earlier this year and they asked him what he wanted to achieve this year and he said start his own family/ get married
with SHK’s past public relationship she would have been extra careful this time around. and SJK said in an interview last year, he would never admit dating unless he’s about to get married.
NJH is awkward in this role but habaek is just hilarious..am interested in him..besides when that scene with the smiling pig came on..i knew i was gonna be watching ep 2😂😂😂😂
if am KSH..despite the good ratings of ruler..i\’ll sharply write Ga eun as the most useless character i have played..damn! where did all the fierceness she had in ghost,page turner and school 2015 go?
I would have just loved her to play a significant badass role…am not sure if i want her to play HG tho…everytime i see HG..i remember how sun’s father died..i’m not a fan..she does a lot of things..true but my moral bell keeps ringing everytime i see her. not to mention her obsession with someone she met just once was a complete turn off.
damn forest of secrets..that ending was👏👏👏👏👏…shi-mok\’s cute angry faces that he made looking at the mirror was lit..and seriously what\’s going on between him and the prosecutor girl?😂😂
the reviews for kim soo hyun\’s new movie \”real\” are really bad..i heard he really worked hard for the role both in acting and financially..i hope he stays strong and comes back with a nice drama
I read that he may do one more work before army, he is enrolling next year right? But he probably needs to do one to save his reputation. So maybe we will see him on screen, fingers crossed ?.
His enlistment date is not set yet, and I think he might start looking over scripts for a new prject after he finishes doing promotions for “Real”. His wish is to do one more drama before he enlists, but I think he will be going over offers for, both, drama and movies for his next possible project…
I don’t think there is anything he needs to do to save his reputation, really… Everyone will have at least 1 really good and memorable project that all fans will remember them for ( he has a couple already) and at least 1 project that does not do so good, but I think it is too difficult to say whether or not that ‘not so good’ project for Kim Soo Hyun is “Real”
I definitely hope that he does take a role in drama, it has been so long. But while he does have many good projects behind him, Real from what I am reading in the reviews is more than not good, it is a total disaster (he has even stopped promotions for it due to public reaction) and the fact is that he was so tied to it, he worked on it for 2 years and his relative was the director and expectations were high. For him, it is either army or mega hit (he probably needs a Kim Eun Sook drama as much as Lee Byung Hee now) to salvage his reputation.
I don’t think it necessarily has to be a Kim Eun Sook drama that can help “salvage his reputation”. I believe that he has made his name big enough that, sure his movie isn’t doing so well, but because of that, the fans are anticipating even more for his comeback after “Real” and will watch anything he will choose to be in, regardless if it is a Kim Eun Sook drama… Lee Byung Hun* is different: the guy messed up his personal life, and in Korean standards, if you mess up something in your personal life that is made public, it’s either ‘go to the army to serve our country to save your reputation’, lay low for a while, or choose a super anticipated upcoming drama/movie to save your reputation…LBH is choosing the 3rd option
are you going through a drama slump and trying to figure out what to watch? why don’t you wrap yourself in a forest of secrets and hope you get out alive.
wtf!!!! did shi-mok just smile when bae doo na said \”us\”…ooh my heart😩😍😍👏….shi-mok is the cutest baby i have seen this month. he\’s really climbing his way to my heart. #forestofsecrets
right?!!!! i even replayed the scene to be sure!!…i haven’t felt this way towards an ahjussi in a drama for while…whenever i see shi-mok with his clueless..child-like eyes..i wanna just hug him.
His little smile totally melted me. For a serious drama, this totally made me feel all sorts of FEELS! Yeo-jin is right, I think somewhere inside of Shi-mok’s brain, he’s capable of feeling despite the surgery. I think he’s been restraining himself instead.
yes…thats what i think too…i think he believed what people around him were saying about him becoming an emotionless monster after the surgery and assumed that he can no longer feel, thereby restraining himself…but i hope he realizes that that’s not true because he definitely smiled in that scene…i made sure of it…haha
damn…the downvote game in lee byung hun\’s article is strong!! why do i feel like ever since these downvotes were introduced, there\’s been more animosity between beanies.
i wonder who the killer in forest of secrets is and why he seems to playing a game with shi-mok….one thing is for sure..the killer must be super smart if he can make shi-mok so confused.
I haven’t watched the latest episode yet, but I hope the show takes its sweet time revealing who s/he is…I love a good whodunnit. I’m so glad we’re getting solid mystery-thrillers lately.
fam remember when we made people tunnelers by raving about tunnel every weekend….how about we make people secret foresters by letting them know that 😂😂👏forest of secrets is the new hottie in town😍
I couldn’t watch it when it premiered, bc I was super busy…but I started it today, and OMG. Not disappointed at all, it is gorgeous, gritty and engaging and it doesn’t waste a single minute. Ugh! I’m falling HARD.
I love Forest of Secrets. I do not understand how it is so underated. The cast alone should be enough to at least get people to check out the first episode or two. The acting is phenom, the story intriguing. Yes, you actually have to use your brain, this isn’t mindless fluff, but it is just so darn good!!
