I’ve started Your Honor and YSY is must have been high. I mean he has to right? How did he overact so much? And why no pd said anything? He makes me remember when Lee Joon tried to pretend he was a bad actor in Father is Strange. He was much better though!

      I watched the first 2 eps, I really like him so I’ll give him a few more chances but it’s like Enrique, the crazy bunny from FBND, decided to pretend being a judge.

    I’ve been chatting about this with ChinguMode a lot and we came to the conclusion that maybe the PD wanted him to be like this for comedic effect? The drama would get really dark otherwise and maybe he’s asked to be funny to counterbalance that?

    But yeah, I’m not a fan of the snarl. It does get better…

      Crazy pd! Kang Ho has no reason to be an energizer bunny, YSY should have refused! I’ve been kind of wanting SooHo to come back and smack him on the head even if he is a dirty judge.

        I just looked back through my ‘What I’m Watching’ Saturday posts and I think I’ve ranted about this EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

        This is what I wrote a couple of weeks ago:
        Your Honor is still trying to decide whether it’s being serious or funny. I studied the genre of ‘one character pretending to be another character’ closely – having watched both Switch and Are You Human?- and I can tell where YSY is going wrong (sorry for YSY fans). What he seems to have missed, is that he’s supposed to play not 2 but 3 characters: Character A, Character B and Character A pretending to be Character B . Because he never does the third bit, I’m left scratching my head wondering if all his colleagues are just stupid or blind, that they don’t realise that the guy who turned up is a completely different person who acts nothing like the judge and has no knowledge of the law. And still I find myself watching it and being interested in the cases that are being tried.

          Was Switch any good? I am a fan of JGS but I dislike cop stories so I dropped early.
          About YH so right! The comedy is bad and the serious part doesn’t fit, but I’ll try again!

            I liked Switch and JGS was awesome. Plot got a bit silly but it didn’t take itself to seriously

    I don’t follow this drama but few days ago I jumped straight to recent ep where there’s a scene he’s being all emotional on judge’s seat, stopped the video because it started to get cringe-y and I was like oh, okay, so this is what they meant by over-acting. Why he did that though?

    The overacting was my main complaint about this show initially. At the urging of other fellow Beanies to stick with the show, I have and things have seemed to settle down a bit more.
