LOL I didn't know who JB was and my mind automatically read as "Javebeans plays Cupid for Song Seung-heon, Shin Se-kyung".

Who keeps giving him roles? Why?

Bundled with another actor because both are from the same agency? I don't know. All I know is that it has to stop. Why not give roles to people who will actually be acting 10 years down the line? But, like any other field, I guess making a quick buck is more important than having long-term goals :/

Wow.. JB is just sooo.... ugh.. good looking! I can't stop looking at his picture.

Everytime I see him I think of his douchieness on Romantic and The Idol. Sorry JB :(

wow...but talking about premieres, i think this week there are 2 new dramas: NINE TRAVELS IN TIME on TvN and THE END OF THE WORLD on JTBC...but they aren't listed here, i hope i'm not mistaken

This drama really do like to gather wooden actors. First, they got Song Seung Heon, then Shin Se Kyung, and now, this guy. LOL.

Well this casting does seem on par, considering the rest of the cast. Plus, Song Seungheon no longer has to be the weakest link of a drama. So everyone wins....?

Aww well there's always room for improvement! Maybe he's gotten better since. I hope. Please. -crosses fingers-

I like jb's voice and his dancing bu

His acting is terrible... Really bad.. I liked Jr's acting a lot more... I actually do.t even know how i was.able.to endure his crappy acting :( i like him but im not blind... Hope he improved or something...

I think name should change into 'When A Man(producer) Loves Making A Drama With WTF team'

Yunho is a terrible actor and I love DBSK. I didn't watch him in Queen of Ambition but I heard from friends he's tiny bit better. And yes JB was horrible in Dream high 2 so hopefully he's going to show some type of improvement since it should not be hard to improve from being terrible.

tbh Yunho HAS gotten better, especially in his latest drama... I'm not going to contest Heading to the Ground tho lol

Yurp. Worthy adversary, Yunho. Worthy adversary.

I honestly didn't see how SSH is THAT awful of an actor because I always thought he was decent enough. If an actor/ess doesn't make me cringe while watching their scene (ie yunho is Heading to the Ground) then they're not that bad. BUT then I watched Dr. Jin and finally see the light. I get it now. Let's not forget Kim Hyun Joong in this competition tho.

Man, I'm a fan of both Yunho and JB in the idol department but even I can't handle them when it comes to acting... but we can't really stop this kind of things (getting cast in a drama) especially when their companies are two of the big three so might as well get used to it.. I just hope they get better in time... because, you know, it's such a waste.

jb was ok. anyways jb is cute

Who's the team behind this project? Because i hope it'll be a trainwreck since the main cast consists mostly of bad actors. It would be a big shame and waste for a drama with good writing and directing to go to ssh and ssk of all people.

I saw the trainwreck that was DH2.. and JB was one of the worst actors of the bunch. That's saying a lot coz many of them weren't any good to begin with >.<

So both SSH and JB in a drama.. does not sound promising to me :P

tq jb,

I thought you play cupid jb!

Kdramas trend, late middle age actors acting with

younger actresses.

I hope SSH is ready to make the most of this golden opportunity. In his past projects he's been consistently surrounded by superior acting that's thrown his subpar abilities into sharp relief - even Kim Tae-hee outdid him in his one shining moment of not sucking, My Princess - that it's a rare occurrence indeed when he's slated to share scenes with someone decidedly worse than him. Chew that scenery, Hand Towel. Chew it.

Dream High 2 was horrible. Only reason I tried to continue watching was because Jinwoon's character was interesting and had a nice background story. JB was horrible especially considering he was a lead character. I think Jr (other guy from JJ Project for those who don't know) is a better actor but maybe that's just because his role was just a support. But hey who knows, all actors can improve. Hopefully JB has improved.

it's his face that gets him his roles.

He's not good at acting and he's not really that famous for him to get casted based on his popularity, I have to say this, sponsors? We all know how the entertainment industry can get.

Here's to hoping that this drama won't be a big trainwreck like the last dramas of the leads (Dr. Jin and Fashion King).

I have so much love for SSH. This guy has a knack for making me happy in all his shows. When he's acting all broody and angsty, I'm laughing so much I'm crying. When he's acting bug-eyed shocked, I'm rolling on the floor and pulling my hair out in clumps. It's hysterical how much fun I have watching a SSH show. This new show is going to be no different. He's going to be all east of eden-y again....so excited.

I wish all to have a life as thoughts of your comments .
Thoughts addressed someone return to who the that it write or think. All your life be to way as thoughts of comments, materials...success. When you want someone evil, that evil might come to you .. the attention.
This blog is anti some actors? so I noticed..

okay this JB boy really need to take acting classes. IF he seriously considering acting. he is.. ermmm.. well everybody knows his acting skills.

i don't understand why idols who cant act get an important role in a drama. just stick to singing and dancing, please.

but..... JYJ's Yoochun, BigBang's TOP, Suju's Siwon they started quite stiff (my opinion) but really improve a lot now. at least they weren't terrible when they started acting like 'certain idols'.

i'm sorry to say this, but KHJ, and T-ara's Jiyeon, and 'few others', i don't think they improve.

I think your critic is too harsh. We all knew that he is NEW. No everyone always success in the first time. JB is still learn. I think what the most he needs now/then is support from us.

wow...I stuck through Dream High 2 and seriously didn't think he was that bad. He was a stick in the mud a lot of times and the only time I really disliked him was when he was dating Hyesung...Now that was a character I could not like.

I thought he did OK for a first timer, could have been better had he played a more cheerful character.

Give the kid a chance, he hopefully would be better this time round.

Can't help but say this: JB is a pretty appalling actor and yet I still like him, he's just so adorable in real life! I'm inclined to give him some slack cos it was his first project (although I do think he shouldn't have taken a main role) yet I hope he can do this one well at least, else i can only lose hope...

you guys must have really not seen bad acting if you think JB is the worst actor you've ever seen. he wasn't good, but he wasn't a dead fish. this was his first role that he was put into to boost coverage for jj project's debut. he was a teen in the process of maturing and it shows in his acting.

there was a lot of awkward smirking and unnatural smiling which was really pretty bad; he himself cringed uncontrollably at his acting when he looked back at it and knew it wasn't right but as he's talented in other aspects and comes across as sharp-minded so hopefully will have picked up on his weaker points and worked on them, with any luck, improving them.

he was playing an awkward, conflicted, badly written character- in fact all the characters were poorly written, contradicting themselves every other scene, and breaking down any basis of a character they had managed to build at that point. they were all over the place, and bad writing like that makes in difficult for anyone to really get into a character, something these actors shouldn't be penalised for.
i noticed though that all jb's scenes with jiyeon/rian were much better written and much much better acted, which is why people are agreeing his acting improved later on, when they had more scenes together.

basically, yes JB wasn't great, but dream high 2 in general was crap and he could have been a lot worse.

this drama was pretty much made to get JYP attraction from fangirls if we're honest here, and so it's not the case of a better actor losing out on a job, rather of a different soon-to-be-idol being popularised.

i'm not an idiot, it was poor work. i've just seen enough bad acting to know that he's being slated unjustly here.

I enjoyed Dream High 2 a lot and fell in love with him so easy. So sad to read all the bad comments over his acting. I really think he was not that bad. Even rewatch the drama over and over and never get enough. He was cute and sincere. Love him so much and waiting for his more roles in acting projects. Love his voice too, his dance too. Just love him so much.
