I used to like Yunho alot back when he still have his "cute original teeth" now he just look flat in the mouth area and look like an average regular male who have their teeth done!

I'm iffy on this drama to begin with. First they have Go Ara who is mediocre at best, and then a pop singer.

I guess we'll see.

Also, his name annoys the crap out of me. U-know Yun-ho?? Seriously? Whose bright idea was that?

Positive note since this comment is mostly negative. . .Go Ara is really pretty.

There.

everyone knows how to criticize and points out the negative. How about giving
the guy some positive notes such as for trying hard and doing his best. There is
always room for improvement no matter how perfect a person is. Fighting,
Jung Yunho! Hope your series will be a hit, I for one will definetly be watching.

lol @ the screencap. that's why i lovingly refer to him as the "best actor" among TVXQ. oh well, i'm still tuning in as soon as the subs are out. i've never seen a go ara drama, so this'll be the first.

@ mishane

U-know Yunho is his stage name (like other members of TVXQ have). i haven't been following the latest drama or kpop news but i think he goes by Jung Yunho as an actor.

I'm going to watch cautiously as well. I will support him, but I know how bad his acting used to be. Hopefully he has improved a lot.

He's always been very humble though, so I don't really think it's an act.

Yeah i was watching this and it pained me to see his over acting but its just cuz i see him mostly as u-know yunho and not jung yunho. It takes time to digest his acting but i really think the script and direction is a flawed as well. Him being the leader of the top asian group is also something the general public and crazy netizens will always try and use as an excuse.

In general yunho is famous for his humbleness and he never boast about himself, ever. He's probably the most caring and sweet person there is on earth which makes you think how that could happen since he's stunningly gorgeous.

I think his good looks also hindered in his acting. if he just acted a lil more naturally and control some of his expressions then i won't doubt its perfect. But hey, it's a good first attempt.

Looking forward to the subbed version.

i am going to watch this drama because it seems to fall onto the category that i often liked (light, funny, romcom).. and I liked Go Ara in her last drama with Yoon Kye Sang,

BUT it airs against My Fair Lady!!!!!

I wish this drama the best of luck as well as the lead actor for his first acting gig, but not a lot since I am rooting for MFL to rake in the ratings.

Give the guy some slack,
at least he has pearly white teeth to look at. Hhahahha

This drama really doesn't look good, but I like Yunho so I will check it out. From all the reports I've read (quite a few from this blog), I wonder if Yunho's motivation to do well actually hinders how natural his acting comes off. He seems to overanalyze his role and this in effect actually doesn't allow him to just become his character. I've seen his banjun dramas, and so I'm quite prepared for what is to come. Having said all that, I do hope he grows as an actor. He just seems to work so hard for it!

I wish they had casted a stronger female lead. Ara's pretty but she's just not a good actress. Casting both Ara and Yunho loses quite a bit of credibility.

Looking forward to your recap, if you are doing them :]

Yunho has always been very articulate. He has the ability to describe his effort whilst remaining humble, always recognizing that there is room for improvement.
Awkward and unnatural are apt descriptions. I really do hope he improves because netizens can be so unrelenting in their criticisms.

True Yunho might be overdoing his acting a bit but it's necessary since he's portraying a character who is a bit kooky itself.
so far he's better in every scene he's in compared to Kim Hyun Joong in BOF.

I like Yunho and all but sorry to say that because of his crazy fans who are terrorizing and bashing the competition like Swallow the Sun and My Fair Lady on korean boards cause it is up against their idol's drama, it totally turned me off into watching his series. I cant stand dirty competition and crazy fans who bash other dramas and celebrities cause of their insecurities.

it's true that yunho's acting was a bit awkward, and exaggerated at times but im willing to cut him some slack and see how he grows as an actor...

ara's acting was too blah for me...

and im gonna have to bring up yoonji here even though she's the second female lead i believe that she did well and i hope she continues to do well....

i'm actually feeling her chemistry with yunho more than ara with yunho...but its just me.... :)

It seems that every singer will turn to be an actor, every actor turns to a singer and every singer and actor will turn be entertainers in variety shows. Full package, all in one.

the first episode didn't impress me very much. it seemed to lack a certain fire about it. i think go ara can be a decent actress in the future, but she's still very young and still a little stiff. she seems to lack warmth and subsequently, onscreen charisma, for all her beauty. again, i think it might be her age. she looks so incredibly young. her previous drama who are you was a good watch, but i thought she was so YOUNG.

yunho was all right. not great, but i've seen worse actors who started out as actors, not as singers. i thought he had what go ara lacked - warmth and passion. and i wasn't expecting the comical aspect of his character, and i thought it worked out for him. again, he wasn't perfect, but i thought he was rather likable. if his acting improves, he's someone whom i'd like to watch in the future, acting-wise.

I tried watching this without subs and it wasn't really bearable. LOL. Such OTT acting.

I really like Yunho as the humble and extremely likable leader of DBSK - he did not convince me with his acting though, unfortunately. I read the ratings were only 7.2%, so it's definitely off to a rocky start.

oh my gosh, your articles are like SAT material. such good vocabulary!

Yunho is incredibly humble. I've heard him compliment himself a handful of times and it was only when he was around him fellow TVXQ members or when an interviewer asked him out-right what he thought his good points where (and when he answered he always seemed really embarrassed).

People who work with, be it in Japan, korea, Thailand, or China, are always amazed at how down-to-earth and friendly the guy is so I really don't think his humbleness is an act. :)

Are you going to be following Changmin's drama as well (I think it's called Paradise Meadow)? It will be his acting debut as well and I have higher hopes with him. lol I love Yunho to death but his acting has always been really forced, Changmin on the other hand shows a lot of potential.

The first half of the first episode was awkward....maybe cos the he was suposed to act cute and he was overdoing it but I still found it quite funny. Maybe I forgot it was yunho or something but the second half seemed a little easier to watch. I am not the biggest fan of aegyo, so it was a bit cringworthy at moments hehe....but overall I want to see the second episode.

by the way......he is no-where near as bad as hyun joong..... sorry but the guy was hard to watch, I had to forward everytime his face popped up (no joke)

Honestly, he could've done a better job. But I'm not expecting much, especially it being a romantic comedy.
But props to him for being a better actor in the very first episode than Hyun Joong halfway through the drama. LOL.

Netizens always cut some slack for the ones they love but they can be so cruel to those they don't love (2PM's Park Jae Beom). This might be unrelated but this is actually the first thought that came to my mind when I read some people's comments about "cutting him some slack." Sorry, maybe I'm not over the whole ordeal with Park Jae Beom yet. Please don't consider this as offensive or bashing.
As for Yunho, I feel that he's better doing the calm expression scenes than when he does the excited/ confused/ surprised expression (he tends to overact in these kinda scenes. It happens a lot with newbie actors)

@Artemis,

"I read the ratings were only 7.2%, so it’s definitely off to a rocky start."

That's pretty good, considering that it's a youth drama opposite two moderate hits. This should do between 5-9%, though both Lady Castle and Swallow the Sun are kinda underperforming right now as well.
