I’m telling you. Lee Sang-yi can sell a relationship with a ROCK. Love ya Kim Young-dae, but you’re simply out-acted here.

The ensemble physical comedy of this drama is also simply masterful. Here, maybe the edge goes to KYD! 😉

No, for realz…What did y’all decide these two were acting out? I thought elephant…but then maybe it turns into harpooning a seal??? Or is flailing dude a fish on a hook?

NGNL, aka Not Gonna Lie, episode 7.

    I find Gyu-hyun faaaar more interesting than Ji-uk; I think part of it is also the writing, but acting is definitely part of it

      They’re both great characters. I look forward to hearing the word “hyung” come out of Ji-uk’s mouth if/when the day comes!

    I just like that they all can shine. 😊
    And I personally like KYD here a lot, I think he fits the role, he often surprises me with better delivery than what I expect… and the director knows what to do with him. 😁
    (Like the director with Suzy in While You Were Sleeping. )

      I like KYD in everything I’ve been able to watch him in 😉…but in that scene, all I thought was, “Wow, how can you not fall for this guy, Ji-uk?”

        😁 I’m a fan… but… ehm… he does have some limitations… 😁
        Have you watched him in Cheat On Me if You Can? I totally fell for him there. 😍

        They are a nice couple, Lucifer and Mr. Volunteer. 😄

          I have NOT seen that **heads over to MDL to learn more** GETS TOTALLY DISTRACTED…OMG…have you seen KYD’s headshot on MDL? He’s an infant!

            You don’t remember him from Extraordinary You? In his strawberry pullover?? 😄

            Gah! I’m just showing my colors left-right-and-center here. I have trouble enjoying dramas about high school, so I haven’t seen Extraordinary You either.

            Since I’m in full confession mode, may I also now admit that there are times when I’ve been writing a comment about Kim Young-dae (the actor) and my fingers actually type out Gong Tae-sung (the character from Sh**ting Stars), subconsciously thinking that’s his actual name, so strong is my conflation.

            First, I admit to not liking Waikiki and now all this!! Maybe I’ve never actually seen a single K-drama and I’m just a rando using ChatGPT.

            It’s always possible!! 😁

            Though I would argue @attiton that Extraordinary You is not the typical high school drama. The first part had me in stitches because it is all about TROPES of a romantic (well, yes, high school) kdrama/manga.

      This is my first time seeing KYD in a role, and I like him a lot more than I thought I would.

    I think it was @enriquequierecagar who said something like they could make 10 spin-offs with different groups of characters together and it would be still be fun. No matter who we’ve got on screen, this show is never boring haha

    I’d say elephant having a good day until he’s disrupted by a gazelle (or a ballet dancer doing it for the ‘gram)

    I was wondering that myself. It had to be scene in water the way they were swaying, and the guy with the tie as his nose might have been a fisherman- so your guess of harpooning a seal or a whale, might be right. It must be a reference to some movie or show, but I don’t know how we could find out. The balletic move the guy who was “shot” was really impressive!

      How about this, then…thinking through what @moomoomoondog said…what if the whole charade from both the guys is a safari and therefore an “Africa” reference to Sh**ting Stars??

        What about just a reference to “Shooting Stars” itself?

          I think we’ve got it. The elephant, a famous thespian, putting on show for his fans, turns violent when the gazelle tries to steal the spotlight. Thus, he is a shooting star.

    It’s an Australian Elephant and a Kangaroo, obviously.
