I’ve never seen any drama with Kim Soohyun before so I wondered why he’s the highest paid actor in Korea. After this week in IOTNBO though, I see why. There are a lot of amazing actors who made me cry but somehow his acting hits a bit differently. Oof. (“When Kim Soohyun cries, everyone cries with him.” <–I get it now.)

Also master-class acting from Oh Jung-se and Seo Yeji this week too. 

Oh Jung-se keeps proving why he’s one of the most in demand male supporting actor in the drama industry currently. In that confrontation scene, he and Kim Soohyun were just phenomenal. Visceral, uncomfortable, and real, I forgot I was watching a drama in that moment. It felt like I was watching people I know fight and break down, and they broke my heart into a million pieces.

And although Moonyoung’s character requires restrained emoting, Seo Yeji does so much with her eyes. It’s hard to play an emotionally-stunted character without feeling like a rock, but she communicates Moonyoung’s hurt with little micro-expressions and a flutter of her eyes. And then when she does explode and break down, she wrecks me, too.

If you’d like to reblog, put your character in the tags because I’m curious.

SHE RIPPED THE LETTER?

that one moment you just know a movie has such an impact on you. just the music, the actors, the scenery, story, everything. when you feel chills and know that this movie means something to you. to feel so blessed that you are able to witness it for the first time, and then feel the same way every time you see it. it never gets old, it never goes out of style, it’ll always be the masterpiece you know it is. its one of the best feelings ever.

Super random but I just love Dohwa’s voice? Something about it is so mellow and calming.

I want a million different works of fiction with the same premise as Extraordinary You but in different genres. I really, really hope that it inspires people to write similar stories, because I think this is my favorite brand of post-modern meta commentary ever.
