To commemorate Park Hee-soon and Jung Jae-young’s recent K-drama appearances, I present: Some Celebs Who Look A Bit Like Jung Jae-young:

    Wow the uncanny similarity between Chun Woo-Hee and Jung Jae-young! They can be dubbed as male/female version of each other.

      The funny thing is that the resemblance between them is so strong yet not obvious at all. I didn’t notice it myself till I came across a tweet about it. I guess it’s because he’s a man and much older than her. Someone should cast them as father and daughter haha.

@epyc2010 After scouring their respective filmographies on Asianwiki, I’ve discovered that Park Hee-soon and Jung Jae-young have appeared in only one film together, the decidedly peculiar So Cute from 2004 (which also stars Ye Ji-won and the legendary film director Jang Sun-woo). I think the tweet below states that they played half-brothers (!!).

Park Hee-soon (My Name) is often mistaken for Jung Jae-young (On the Verge of Insanity) and vice versa. I haven’t started on the Netflix show yet, but I’m already coming across cheeky descriptions of Choi Moo-jin as Choi Ban-seok’s less law-abiding brother.

    I had this confusion too when starting watching their movies years ago. Can’t remember if they have appeared in the same movie.

    Park Hee-soon is so riveting as Choi Moo-jin. He is truly fantastic in My Name.

      I can kinda see some resemblance, but I like them both very much so I have no trouble telling them apart 🙂

I\’ve finally had a look at the Italicapalooza that is the comments section of the Song Hye-gyo drama. The amazing thing is that even the NUMBERS OF LIKES are italicised.

    I’m up to episode 10 and I want to say thank you for insisting that this is a good watch. I’m also tracking the minuscule caps in dbs. Love his character, love his acting, love the situations and the politics. So shifty, these people.

Someone’s tribute to Choi Ban-seok’s checked shirts, with Dang Ja-young standing in for pink and purple. Ends with that tragically misguided addition of a bright blue tie.

No subtitles yet for the finale of On the Verge of Insanity, but I\’m already marvelling at the twisted mind that came up with the pork belly garrote.

    A couple months ago, my husband and 16-year-old son saw The Godfather (1972) together for the first time. My son praised it saying, “It’s thrilling” before mimicking the scene where Luca Brasi gets whacked. “Great,” I thought. “My son just saw his first garroting scene.”

    But today, the flashback throttling made me jump up from my chair. And that’s why we don’t bottle our feelings. Let it all out, indeed!

      Now that you’ve mentioned The Godfather, I realise my post might make Verge sound like a very different kind of show…

      I’ve just had a look at the episode with no subs. Bromance or not, I can see why Han-soo would be upset to lose the only leader he has ever truly looked up to.

      I was bitching about Jung Jae-young’s long hair at the start of the series, but now that he has cut it I find myself missing it. No no no no I’ve got to stop thinking like that…

POSSIBLE SPOILER FOR ON THE VERGE OF INSANITY

Omo omo omo. Choi Ban-seok has a new haircut and apparently his own company, hilariously named BANSTONE (‘seok’ means stone).

      I’ve just seen ep15 and it looks like the writer has completely fooled us and Shin Han-soo too! The poor guy is going to have a stroke when he finds out who “Baby Shin” is…

        @knewbie—I’m in the U.S. and watch on the day of broadcast via on the legal site, Kocowa. You can watch new, subbed episodes on the same day for free, as long as you’re registered. (I stopped paying for a plan last December. I actually won my original subscription via a Dramabeans raffle in 2018!)

        Fresh subbed episodes of On the Verge of Insanity are available for free about a day or so. Subs are generally available by late afternoon. (Raw videos are published earlier.) Older episodes are behind the paywall.

        I do pay for Viki but the subs take much longer.

Jung Jae-young and Han Ji-min promoting their 2014 film Plan Man. HJM is gorgeous as usual, but I’m afraid smouldering JJY (see pic on left) always makes me laugh.

      Me too!

      JJY is such a versatile actor from cool detective in many iterations to middle age lost soul in Hong Sang Soo’s movies.

        It’s funny how he plays total losers in his three Hong Sang-soo movies, yet it is precisely in those movies that he gets kissed – A LOT – by his female co-stars.
