HAHAHA! YES! That is exactly how it happened.

Gosh! On the one hand, nothing wrong with age differences if people are in love... but these actors certainly are not (prove me wrong LSJ and UEE - your chemistry was off the charts in Marriage Contract!!). On the other hand, hiring male actors to play younger characters and female ones to play older ones is soooo very problematic. And, this has come up so many times in DB threads. Soooooo...

Shall we come up with a moniker for these kinds of pairings - the male version of noona romance? Oppa would be much too benign and ajushhi much too mean. How about oppa-nim romance - yeah, yeah I made it up... but, the double honorific should drive the point home!

Yet another Sweet Young Thing. Can I profess to being bored? What happened to all the actresses in Korea over the age of 25? Were they all kidnapped by aliens? Sent to North Korea on a reunification-via-glamour mission? Taken out and shot for the crime of no longer being "fresh"? Or is this a not-so-gentle hint that it is high time they settle down, get married, and have lots of gorgeous babies dressed in designer onesies?

Don't know if she is popular enough, but if you have a time go check about her. She just debuted in 2013 but already have more than 10 movies.

Park So Dam is the "it" girl in Korean movie industry and has won many awards including popularity awards. Saying that she got all her achievements because of her agency power is a low prejudice.

Why are you so salty, Park Sodam's nickname isn't 'monster rookie' for a reason.

She's got 20+ movies and dramas under her belt for being in the industry in less than 2 years, and she doesn't just take up stuff from her agency- she did Snow Paths, an award winning indie film because she was approached by the director in private and took it up. \uwu/

Anywho, on the topic, I got to go, I don't know if I can take my sanity going with this show.

So you don't even know her or what the korean public think of her but you call her greedy?

ok.

I like how you call her greedy because she is in lots of projects. Is it wrong for an actor to want to be in a lot of projects, especially when they are starting out and trying to build their resume? That's how it should be done, most just haven't been as successful as she has been.

God some of you people, stop making sense and using logical reasoning and basic research to advance actually legit arguments, some people's heads might explode!

I understand your frustration as I feel actress like Yoo In Na and Park Se Young deserve leading lady. I have plenty for underrated actresses who have been doing supporting roles for ages.

But for me at last Park So Dam and Kim Go Eun are much better at least compared to Jin Se Yeon or Lim Ji Yeon.

Lim Ji Yeon and Kim Go Eun both did an EROTIC movie as their debut then boom they became leading ladies in dramas, at least KGE can act ....... Sigh

I can only speak for Yoo Inna, not knowing Park Seyoungs work very well

YIA is represented by YG - while great at pushing (selected ) singers , is crap with their actresses. Reason why Kang Hye jung , Park Hanbyul etc left . Not trying hard enough to get them exposure

Her last drama also flopped - and to my knowledge she hasn't been only active while RJ ing

Her best known work Queen inhyun's man was back in 2012 ! Everybody's memory has moved on to newer works / actors .. heck even her co star Ji Hyun Woo acted his heart out in Awl last year

Bottom line , YIA needs to be constantly putting effort to act.

Coming from 2020 and see this type of comment is hilarious. No one just pop up onto the scene and gets popularity. It's about work and making your own choices.

You don't get lucky, you form your own luck.

You can stay bitter because Park So Dam's film Parasite gets Palme D'Or and wins award left and right. She even gets SAG award while being celebrated with standing ovation by Hollywood A-listers.

And she's supposed to heal his brain injury with love. Sibling love, I hope.

Almost all of her resume is movies so unless you watch a lot of movies you wont know her. I don't watch many Korean movies and if I do they are usually a few years old, so I don't know her either. But she is called Monster Rookie by the Korean Media because she has been in over 10 movies, some very highly acclaimed, in just the 2 years since she debuted. She has more on her resume then some actors who have been in the field for years. Thus, the term Monster Rookie.

Is she a good actor? I personally don't know but I assume if she was cast in all these movies in such a short time she must be.

And why exactly do you have to be so rude? She is doing really well in the movie industry grabbing awards left and right for her performances after barely 3 years of acting. Her most recent nomination is for this year's Baeksang Awards for both a movie and a drama, or are you gonna tell me you never heard of those either so it's not important? She is talented and dramaland is lucky to have her. There's no need to put down other talented actresses just because you don't see your favorites on TV as much as you'd like. And maybe she isn't interested in clowning around on variety shows, that is strictly her choice and there's nothing wrong with it. Maybe do some reading and don't just assume she's some nobody just because you don't know her.
