"I feel like the character description falls within his acting wheelhouse (detached, cool)..."

So, like, not acting?

Sounds nice though I'm not eager as well about the Misaeng comparison. Also the female judge mention sounds like prosecutor princess type of character, so will she be the opposite to L's character?

And I have yet to see L's acting so not really that hyped. 😑😕

L sucks at acting, is really hard to find good actors for dramas??? Korea need to learn from JDramas a lot.

Sigh... when will they finally learn, that he really is just a pretty face?
I like Infinite, but L is not made for acting. He lacks natural talent, so he can't ever get rid of the stiltedness in his acting, that self-consciousness that distracted the audience from getting into his character.

Even the investors and big bosses of drama production company should know better than putting so much faith in him to carry a show when he hasn't proven himself to be capable in many of his past works so far, and there are so many other actors to choose from!

Am I the only one who enjoy L's acting? I've only seen him twice, in Shut Up Flower Boyband and Ruler, and I never felt that his acting was bad. I usually agree when people dislike someone's acting, but not in his case. It's not because of his face, I just purely don't find anything wrong. He's not the best, but he's not THAT bad to me.

The synopsis and the PD turn me off, though. So I guess I'll watch this only if it creates enough buzz.

I didn't like his acting in ruler, he looked like he was stressed out and uncomfortable like he was forcing himself to be that character, it wasn't natural.

I also think that he's babyfaced for that role, I know in real life there's babyfaced people who looks younger than their actual age, but they don't have a choice, in dramaland they always has a choice to cast an actor who matches the character, and it's not like his acting is so amazing that they can overlook that, "just my opinion".

Is this the new trend? Judges?

They can just reunite him with Yoon So-hee, Krystal or pair him with Jin Se-yeon and see their acting (in this group Yoon So-hee probably slightly better). He was terrible in Ruler. I thought he was improved (yes not good) in the beginning, but no. Writing was sucks, I admit. But despite of that, a good or decent actor can still act. OK maybe because it was sageuk, and this genre not for everyone could be a good excuse. I love his face, but if he wants to pursue acting, better do supporting /secondary leads for now.

I came for comments bashing L's acting and got it, lol, I am a fan of infinite, but Myungsoo have not impressed me with his acting yet, apart from SUFBB where role suited him, but what irks me the most is not even his wooden acting but his voice, it is so nasal, and before it was just his singing voice, but now his talking voice too.

like are all k-drama writers put out an agreement on somethings before writing their stuff?
at one point, when one drama did time travel, every other drama want to do it too. when one drama got popular for female friendship, then we got to see that in all other drama too. now, i think i read another drama going to put their leading actors in the judge position, and this drama too?
can we get other options?

K...I'm a fan of L but no. Boy, you know you're not great...why put yourself up for this scrutiny...I mean, maybe take a step back to smaller roles or cuter stuff.

He is freaking handsome, but his acting really bad. In Ruler I just watch first eps but his acting really overacting. I think he should try supporting role in a weekend drama which very long and can help his acting.

This is the year of time travel and legal dramas. I'm ready for a different trend. I like time travel dramas (when done right) but I am getting bored of them, and I've never been the biggest fan of legal dramas. I'm ready for a new trend to start.

the plot + L + the Misaeng comparison.... I think I'll passs

I guess Kwak Jung-hwan might be moving away from action, but he's still sticking to something he knows: working with bad actors.

I mean, on the one hand, yay, Kwak Jung-hwan escaped tvN for the comparative creative oasis of jTBC. On the other hand...he's using his newfound freedom to make a legal drama called Ms. Hammurabi. idk, idk. Could be wrong, but I don't think this is going to be the same career renaissance other greats achieved on this channel, such as Ahn Pan-seok's A Wife's Credentials, Jung Ha-yeon's Queen Insoo, Park Yeon-seon's Age of Youth 1 & 2, even Kim Woon-kyung's Yoona's Street. We'll see.

tl;dr: Would it kill KJH to make a sageuk!?!?

CHUNO made no sense?? You mean it's not in your top ten HOT dramas?
This casting, however, excuse my rudeness, makes zero sense. NAUGHT.

He's cute and all, but his acting annoys me.
