I hope the drama doesn’t turn the gay character into a miserable and tragic person. Things are hard enough for the LGBTIQ folk in RL and they don’t need dramas to pile on. This one’s a chaebol heir though so is at least financially secure and doesn’t have to worry about how to survive if people find out about this aspect of his life.

Lol at the (Fake) Wedding Unnecessary, that's good

The ML was the 2nd son in Under the Queen's Umbrella, who later became CP and King. I think this is his first lead role, not sure if he has the acting range to carry it off though...

Oooh interesting! It does sound like the premise would make for some hilarious situations :))

I'm confused about this on multiple levels? Song Joong Ki is good looking enough to coast on his looks? His acting was "disappointing" in Reborn Rich? He's been disappointing for YEARS?

How is this the case? Wasn't his last project before Reborn Rich, Vincenzo?

I don't know his filmography like that so I can only name like 5 dramas but how is he a highly paid A list actor if he's a mediocre actor?

And yes, as I write that, I know there's many a celebrity that can fall into that category but I'm asking about him specifically.
Especially since he's had backlash in recent months (possibly years) that would make me think he would have to let his work speak for him vs his popularity or superficial metrics.

I liked him in Vincenzo, but I will admit that I think it's hard for any actor once they get super super popular to break out of a typecast character, whether by their own habit or at the request of directors etc.

Even Namgoong Min, who I think is a FABULOUS actor, has had streaks for me where I can't help but think: isn't this the same character as xyz 3 other shows? I think My Dearest was a good one because it felt new and fresh again after his zany, secretly super smart characters and his dark, brooding agent/cop characters

I guess that's a better way to put it. He can be amazing when he is placed in a situation like TWDR, where he has to act opposite veteran actors like Baek Yoon-sik or Kim Yeong-cheol in NG! I felt his absence even when the great Han Suk-kyu took over the role. It took me a bit to warm up to him, and Han, being Han, was charismatic as heck, but I wished Song Joong-ki's part was a little bit longer.
I had the same expectations of him with Lee Sung-min, but I didn't feel the same fire that gave his character life and purpose.
When you've seen better, you tend to be disappointed. I don't expect it all the time, but I thought that was a great setup for another excellent performance from Song Joong-ki.

Or no marriage if a miserable one is the only option!
