Oppaaaaa (~￣³￣)~

Err... Lee Jong-seok CAN hear Lee Bo-young's thoughts.
I would know, I've watched that drama a hundred times. 😂

Although he appeared in Secret Garden first, I saw him for the first time in High Kick 3. I remember him riding his scooter, with freshly-baked cookies for Kim Ji-won because he kind of had a thing for her.

Eventually I got to Secret Garden and watched what became classic scenes between Lee Jong-seok's character and Oska.

He's been keeping us watching with several interesting characters.

LJS will always have a special place in my heart. He brought me back to kdramas.

I remember being turned off by his looks whenever I saw glimpses of him in other places (variety shows, mentions, snippets of his scenes in films and dramas), and then the W trailers came around and suddenly I saw the light. He has so much onscreen charisma that nothing else matters. I backtracked and it was IHYV that clinched the deal. LJS to me is an actor with an x-factor that made me double-check my standards.

He has many more acting challenges ahead of him, as well as a 2-year hiatus while he serves in the army, and I wish him much success in his endeavors.

True confession: We all know LJS has a boyish face and long legs (showed off so well by his suits in While You Were Sleeping). But I have never seen him in a drama that played him up as a strong or athletic man. So when I saw the shower scene in Romance Is a Bonus Book, I was so taken aback: "What? LJS has muscles???!!" At first, I thought it must be the second lead. Hee, hee.

And here, I watched all of his drama and movie. Sad, I can't finish W, I skipped from ep 10 to 16.
He has charm that I can believe everything he said and how can his smile be that magical?????

My ultimate, my one and only, I was waiting for your spotlight! I absolutely adore Lee Jong-seok. His existence has given me strength through all different stages of life and has given me so much joy, excitement, and fangirl giddiness. His visuals are to die for, his charm both on and off screen is so admirable. I gush about him to anyone who will listen, and my friends are no longer able to disassociate me from my ultimate oppa and nickname for him (suk!). I really hope the absolute best for him, and his success is so well deserved! I'll miss him terribly when he's gone, but I wish to support him for a very long time. Jong-suk oppa I love you hehe 💖💖

Loved Lee Jong-seok in School 2013 and never stopped afterwards. I'm planning to watch his movies No Breathing and VIP. And most probably binge watch While You Were Sleeping Later.

First saw him in Pinocchio..... the rest is history 😍😍

KeeAhhhhh *embraces post* my ❤❤❤❤ your finally here! ❤❤❤

Goon grief, hopefully, I can finish this drama with him. I’ve tried 3 dramas. Wish me luck. Starting RIABB this week.

Flirt With A Rock Club President.
(Hey he was my first introduction to dramas! aren't I lucky)

Once upon a time, I really enjoyed his acting and loved his drama. I still think he’s a great actor. Probably my taste for drama has evolved and his works after W didn’t wow me like it used to. He still holds one of my favorite drama: Pinocchio.

I saw him in Secret garden and School 2013 but I hear your voice is the drama that officially made me Lee Jong-seok ‘s fan. I hadn’t planned on watching it but after the first couple of weeks the reviews were so great that I gave it a try. He really impressed me with his on screen presence.
I would have never thought he was my type but his charisma is undeniable and he has amazing chemistry with all of his costars. Also his CeCe photoshoots are super hot. He was born for the camera. He consistently picks good dramas (Dr. Stranger never happened!) I’m going to miss him but I’m glad he has so many works that I can watch again and I need to catch up on his movies. I enjoy being his fan. Some actors you have to watch a lot of bad dramas but to see them but LJS’s dramas are a joy to watch. I adore him.

Small correction: in I hear your voice he could read Lee Bo young's thought all the time, except when the amnesia episodes. She was not an exception although she wished she were. 😂

Oh Lee Jong-seok Lee Jong-seok Lee Jong-seok...I know I sound too much of a fangirl but I can say his name for umpteenth times and still find his existence magical. I've known him since his High Kick days and always thought of him as a graceful and endearing presence among the K-actors that I watch. There's something magnetic about him that elevates his flaws and makes them charms instead. Even though I must say that it was his earlier, more passionate/powerful performances at the beginning of his it-boy career that won me over, I believe there are good things coming out of his more measured, cooled-off acting in recent works--hopefully it's him morphing into maturity. Let's see if breaking from acting for awhile will make him anew as an actor with even more desire to act, but I wish him the best.

He's one of my all-time fave actors! First saw him in Secret Garden and really enjoyed his small but memorable role with Oska. I actually did not recognise him at first sight when he appeared in School 2013 and had to go looking cos he looked so darn familiar.

Been loving his dramas ever since (except Dr Stranger - could not finish it) and particularly enjoyed W (minus the end). He's got a magical presence/charisma and just lights up the screen when he shows up.

P.S. Only LJS could make that horrible horrible Dal-po wig look semi-decent.

I was watching episode 3 of Romance Is a Bonus Book yesterday and this guy has amazing chemistry with all of his co-stars (males and females alike)!!!

oh mY GOD PLEASE WATCH SCHOOL 2013 NOWwWWwwW

i love him! his charisma goes thru any roof he is under. its gonna be a long 2 years in dramaland without that smile. its ok. send him off with Onew and Key and have a big reunion when they all get back!

I'm so sad that beanies didn't make a recap for The Hymn of Death because that drama is so good! You don't need to ask about the acting if the actor and actress are Lee Jong-seok and Shin Hye-sun. I wish they make the episodes longer and not just 6 episodes for half hour each!

I loved him in W but I could not manage to finish While you were sleeping as I could not see any chemistry between the leads (suzy is a big ? in my book). Romance Is a Bonus Book is a very nice surprise. I watched all 4 episodes and I love the chemistry and the plot. LJS gives off W vibes in this one. I am so happy that we finally got a nice rom com with him before his mandatory military service.

Agree with others that he's very charming. He's definitely not my type with that baby face, but he conveys so much warmth when he's onscreen...I always end up thinking that I'd want to go on a date with him and get a taste of that sweetness. 😊
I've liked most of his dramas and the chemistry with his co-stars is always good. Those kisses in W and Pinocchio made my heart flutter.
Too bad that he's going to the military service soon. I'll miss him, 2years is a long time!

Honestly currently one of my favourite K-drama actors. He elevates everything he's in, and he is one of those actors that manages to bring out the best in their co-stars. His charisma is off the charts, and I don't just mean his physical beauty. That's easy to come by in dramaland (or in Hollywood). What's not so easy to come by is raw charisma, or the ability to immediately capture the viewer's attention and hold it, even if the script/scene is absolute trash.

Luckily, most of the things he's been in have been decent to really excellent. I hope he'll do many more awesome dramas after his return from the army!

(Oh and it helps that he's one of those K-drama actors that seem to be really awesome at on-screen kissing....that's rare.)

My favorite actor! A friend convinced me to watch W because of the plot (which was amazing and made me realize that kdramas are not only about sappy or tragic love stories anymore), and I ended up in awe of the actor that is Lee Jong Suk.

I ended up watching almost everything he acted on, including movies and discovered he was in Secret Garden! (I remember thinking the supporting actor that played a gay guy was good! Imagine my surprise when I found out it was LJS! I actually noticed him waaaay before.)

Many like him for his looks, but I think many people really like him for his acting. His looks is just a bonus. He really looks his "most gorgeous" and "most heart-fluttering" when he is acting. You have to watch him in a drama to be caught by the LJS bug.

But I think what is most admirable about LJS (after reading loads of articles and watching lots of interviews and specials about him) is at a young age, he set out and worked hard (and is still working hard) to try to be the best. Working hard for him is not just making a lot of dramas or movies, he actually spends time to really learn more about his craft. Judging from what co-stars and PDs say about him, he looks to his seniors for advice and seems to be his worst critic.

"Romance is a Bonus Book" is his first rom-com. At first I was thinking "what's the big deal? Most of his dramas had romantic plots anyway." Then during the presscon for this drama, he said he found it a bit difficult to film 16 episodes that is all about human interactions. And I realized... he's right! There's no courtroom scenes (WYWS) , no confrontations with bad guys (ICHYV, W).
He also said his past roles were developing characters, and this one (Cha Eun Ho) is already complete. Again, seeing the first 4 eps, I'm thinking he's right again. Didn't expect such insights from an actor. But then again, I don't really check out presscons of other dramas. 😂

This is already a long post ☺️ sorry! I'll end it by saying, I think he is the real deal. I hope he'll continue to surprise us and am looking forward to his new roles especially after fulfilling his military duties.

*All these heroes (and more) almost kiss the heroine. And then she wakes up. The end. Now, go shop at Lotte!*

I laughed so much

Love him, love his dramas, love, love, love! So glad he exists in this world and I can watch him on the screen.

How did I miss this? Heeh. Probably busy gif-ing RIABB scenes!

Thank you for this spot dedicated to Lee Jong Suk. Makes me want to re-watch his dramas while waiting for RIABB updates. Most of what I wanted to say have been said by other beanies bUUUUT of course, there's no harm in saying them again! I love, love how he carries himself in every drama he stars in. His charisma seriously knows no bound! And you're absolutely right, the camera just loves him... def. LJS-biased. His expressions just make you want to react with him... mirror whatever he's feeling. It also doesn't hurt that he's tall, has a lean built and knows how to work a room! Ahhh, seriously gonna miss him after RIABB ;A;
