All these comments about Jang Hyuk had me like *WHAAAAAAAT???*. Jang Hyuk, for me, is the korean counterpart of Hollywood’s Johnny Depp. They never seem to have a problem with getting into their roles, they do it effortlessly and flawlessly. And it never bothered me one bit that not all of their respective works were greatly credited, some of it were awesome, some of it were just meh. But it never stopped them. The way they give life to their characters is an art in and of itself. Not everybody can do that. To be an entirely different persona from the last one people remember you of.
I haven’t watched all of JH’s works but after seeing him in Money Flower had me thinking he’s my korean Johnny Depp. The way he can portray all those emotions had me in awe. Now, I’ve been a Johnny Depp fan eversince I first laid my eyes on his Willy Wonka in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and I’ve seen most of his works.. And I can say that both actors just love to act. They don’t usually take roles that ‘normal’ actors would, they almost always go off the beaten track. And that for me is reason enough to appreciate them.
Now I’m not saying that we all should like them. We never could and we never will — that’s what we call preference and with that respect should also be there somewhere in the mix.
The thing I love about Janghyuk is he can overact as some people put it, but he also has the perfect balance with his nuance which made him a good actor.
Anyway, I actually don’t mind if people don’t like him, because I’m also not a fan of many beloved actors here. People should be free to say what they love or don’t. It’s all about preference. We agree to disagree, and not all kind of disagreements should be expressed in words in my opinion.
He does overreact when needed, emphasis on *when needed*. Hahaha! I haven’t seen the Taiwanese FTLY but I definitely liked how he portrayed Lee Gun, he was over -the-top, yes, but that’s how the writer wanted him to be and so he delivered. Maybe us, viewers, should learn to separate the actor from the character (if that’s even possible, haha!).. so as to avoid judging the actor’s next project with respect to the previous one.
Jang Hyuk is on another level if come to acting. Watch beautiful mind or voice, you will like him more.
Your comment about Jang Hyuk is the korean counterpart of Hollywood’s Johnny Depp, similar to my boyfriend comment when he watch Jang Hyuk in Beautiful Mind. Jang Hyuk always portray some complex character thats why may be for some people they doubt him.
He does complex characters so well, right? I started watching Beautiful Mind back when it was airing but dropped it down bec of the lead girl, haha. prejudices, you see. But I might pick it back up one of these days. Will check out Voice as Kim Jae Wook is also there, right? Thanks for recommending! 😊

Beautiful mind is really good for me, the lead female also do a good job. I’m disappoint that the episode got cut bcoz of ratings.
