Signal just pretty much ruined me for dramaland for the entire year unless something unexpectedly spectacular comes along. What sharp, incisive storytelling.

I love this guy. I have to say his weight loss looks really great in a normal aspect ratio--I was a little worried about him in Signal but he's looking very healthy here. I thought he was very cute when he was chubby, but I'm coming around <3

So glad his work in Flames of Ambition got a mention. He made me cry like a baby in that.

I've loved him ever since I saw him as the unforgettable Brutus in Sons of Sol Pharmacy House. He is so good at getting my heart to bleed for him.

I've been a huge fan of his since I first saw him in Beyond the Clouds (Full Sun). What a scene stealer.

love.

What a quirky photoshoot! He looks like he may be like that in real life. He's one of the actors I wish I could just sit, talk, and enjoy some soju with. Glad he is finally getting some well deserved attention.

Tehehe at the third pic..So adorable. Signal made a fan out of me and I'll be checking out his future projects from now on.

you know what? that is exactly how I would pose.

I almost thought that they used the aspect ratio again on these pictorials. Lol. He looks great though.
Anyway I loved him in most of the dramas/movies I've seen him in, but admittedly Signal made his lovable-meter gone sky-high for me.

Was in awe of him in Signal. Loved him on Running Man.

That's how I judge actors. Can they act? And are they not too proud to make a fool of themselves on a Variety Show.

*happy smiles* I just love him. Great actor, sounds like a great person, too. Thanks, Heads!

Well, now, I want to rewatch Signal. But I can't really rewatch anything. But then again Signal's too good that it's an exception. But that means I have to go through all that heartbreak again. Lol.

JJW was so good as the adorkable ahjussi. And I just love him for being so humble. He doesn't mind playing small roles even if he should be headlining dramas.

Lurrve him! I've seen him in a lot over the years and he's always typecasted as the gangster, detective or warrior but it wasn't until Full Sun (aka Beyond the Clouds??) that I began crushing on him hard. His tough outwardly persona mixed with an insecure yet adorably bumbling personality made me fall for him. I even liked his chemistry with Kim Yoo Ri and I have to admit that I came back to this drama week after week for him, rather than the star, Yoon Kye Sang. That's why when I saw Kim Hye Soo giving that swoony expression in Signal, I could totally relate to her character. Haha.

*a parade of profanities*

*tries to catch breath*

*scrolls down*

*dead*

This guy can make everything look sexy/dorky... even an ajumma' photoshoot

I'm glad Jo Jin-woong has become even more popular after his role in Signal.
I remember loving him the first time I saw him in TWDR!

His poses are really quirky in this photoshoot, lol.

He came on my radar in Sons of Sol Pharmacy. He is always so good.

Joo jin woong! I love his face and the countless feels it conveys.

Detective Lee Jae Han. Where do I start to count my love for Signal and his character?Love love love this drama to the bits. It rekindled my faith in kdramas when I almost lost hope of the stereotypical acting and plots. When people raved about Dots, I will tell them to go watch Signal to find out what is a good korean drama. Yearning a season 2 of it but yet afraid of the goodness that it will shatter.

Cutest poses with those bags... his grimaces even look ok :D

My Lee Jae Han sunbae-nim!

I'm going to follow his work from now on. I can't watch either of his historicals, coz historicals just aren't my thing. -.-

The man!

Love him in signal- best drama ever
Acting so good. Prefer him chubby

He's probably one of my very, very few ahjussi crushes. Can't count the number of times he made me teary-eyed in Signal. I was crying so hard at his cinema scene that I couldn't go on watching. Signal is one of the few dramas that are so good but I can't marathon at one go because it's too emotional.

Hope he continues to get meaty roles like Lee Jae-han in Signal. I wouldn't want to see him get his talent wasted acting in small supporting roles.

It took me a while to recognize him then i said ...ohhh Signal awww how i love this drama for me it's the best this year i think no drama could beat it
Actually i never knew him before Signal but he was so good in Signal that I liked him so much he's very talented

I saw him first in Hwayi, then in A Hard Day but the role that really made me notice him was his role in Signal. He is 19 years older than me, but man have I developed a crush on him. I hope to see him soon in a show or movie as a lead.

Signal was my first exposure to Jo Jin-woong, and I loved him! But after watching him as the glorious and incorruptible Jae-han, I felt wronged and throughly creeped out when I happened to watch Salut d'Amour and he was an almost boorish man with a younger woman hanging off of him. It's good to know most of his roles are more Jae-han-like than not!

(I also happened to [start] watching Coin Locker Girl while Signal was airing. HA! Talk about transformation! But while jarring at first, the differences in Kim Hye-soo's performance were more amusing than disheartening.)

Also, are those supposed to be unisex bags? Because I want all of them!

By the time I finished scrolling through I was wearing a huge grin on my face :) So adorable and charming, it leaps off the pictures! He is one of the 2 ahjjussis I have a crush on (the other one being Bad Daddy Kim Sang Joong in City Hunter ^^)

Like the other beanies here, Signal raised the bar for me too. I didn't even get on the DotS bandwagon and until now am still not convinced I should start marathon-watching it. Sigh. I don't know if Signal giving me higher expectations for future dramas is good or bad, cos they're a dime a dozen

I first saw him in a film "Assassination "... i liked him at the very first time i saw him.. and when i watch SIGNAL... he was awesome in that drama.. he is a great actor.. and have a charismatic personality... :)

gosh love this guy. never fell for an ahjussi this hard.

I have such a crush on this man! Loved him in Signal and A Tree with Deep Roots (which I watched for the first time after Six Flying Dragons and which solidified my forever love for Moo Hyul). His Lee Jae Han will forever be etched on my memory. He was so fantastic and was my favorite character on the show. He is also great in We Are Brothers with Kim Sung Kyun. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of him, chubby or not. He's my favorite ahjussi now. This pictorial is great too. He's so fun!
