I just finished watching behind the scenes and interviews from Tell Me That You Love Me and this is my major inference…

Shin Hyun-bin has an infectious laugh. And she goes all out almost every time. It leaves me wondering why her characters do not get to shimmer as she did in these clips. There is a clear dissonance from her in the clips and Jung Mo-eun, down to Jang Gyeo-ul.

I know no Korean and 1⅜ of the two clips I saw had no single subtitle to them so I couldn’t follow the conversation. But, Jung Woo-sung did have a knack for dishing out N2O effortlessly, and sometimes not laughing at what it was that he said. That is some very handy perk. He’s a natural.

    That is why I likd her the best in Confession. She is so bubbly there.

    SHB is the reason of my hesitation to watch TMTYLM. I’ve seen her shining brightly as the snake charmer in the movie Sunset In My Hometown. She’s full of zest and sass in that role but dull in HP and Reborn Rich. I honestly don’t know why.

      Honestly, I was accrediting the little glitters and glimpses of color that she brought to TMTYLM to her starring alongside Jung Woo-sung. While the former sentence isn’t entirely wrong, I was surprised to see Shin Hyun-been full of life and laughter and fun. Like there were many moments where her brightness in the BTS and interviews would have been useful in the drama but she toned it down. Or perhaps it is the directors and, the writers and the characters they’ve written for her. In truth, with the backstory of Jang Gyeo-ul, I see why she portrayed her like that. Ditto with Jung Mo-eun.

      Nonetheless, I’d have loved some brightness.

        I’ve seen the BTS clips too in which she is so lovely and lively. One day, I may pick up TMTYLM especially when JWS rarely does drama – at least to see him as a romantic lead before he’s getting a bit old LOL.
