Rant Begins:
AGAIN?!! WHY??!! With the announcement of Kim Jae Wook being added to the cast, my feelings were two-fold. First excitement that I was going to see him again in a drama but it quickly followed with dismay and anger as I thought once again a good actor would be cheated out of an opportunity to excel and show his ability as a leading man; a leading man who actually gets "the girl"!
As you can see, I've seen Kim Jae Wook several times in dramas and once in a movie. As stated, all of the roles were supporting or brief (Dal Ja's Spring). But one thing was certain. In each and every role, I totally remembered his character with love and affection. From the first time I laid eyes on him in Bad Guy as the poor, suffering and unloved Hong Tae Sung:
 |
| Loved Moon Jae In but she loved Shim Gun Wook |
 |
| Not only did he love Mary but he actually got married to her! |
 |
| Okay, we get to ASSUME he gets the girl! |
 |
| Not only was he dead! But to add insult to injury, he got to watch his beloved fall for another man! |
I really am surprised by how few major roles he's really had as he is so talented. He stole my heart in Bad Guy, poor man. Of course, I knew him from before that drama thanks to Coffee Prince, Dal Ja, and Antique. But he really does have such amazing acting chops.
ReplyDeleteI actually disliked the drama Marry Me, Mary. I remember Moon Geun Young complaining at an awards show where I think she and JGS won a popular couple's award that people shouldn't look at ratings, but at the effort of cast and crew. Um. Well, ratings don't necessarily prove the worth of the drama, but trust me, it was just bad. I particularly hated how Jung In never got a chance. Look at all he did for the girl just to get trampled on and rejected. Sigh.
And then I stopped watching Who Are You because (I didn't like the female lead, her acting, or just how silly some of the plot was) poor Kim Jae Wook didn't end up in a leading, lead role like I had hoped.
Considering the other cast for this drama...I doubt he'll have a major leading role, but since it *is* an ensemble piece, there's hope, right?
I'm holding out for that hope too! *deep sigh*
DeleteHe was the best part of Who Are You and the only reason I watched the show. Its a crying shame he doesn't get the attention he deserves. Great post btw :)
