Don't let the ratings get to you it's mostly old ajummas that make those ratings up anyways. the younger crowd watches it online and that doesn't get counted into the ratings. i see a lot of them watching it in the subways & ktx :)

Jun ki is such a gem in terms of acting. I think I tune in to everything he's on because I know that man can deliver. What's great that I notice about him is that he can make ladies in each of his drama bearable. Maybe that's why Iu isn't so great to you but I doesn't stop you from watching her. Lol

I know! He's a really actor and a bit underrated in terms of popularity—but the fact that he is a very private person may play a factor in that. I first saw IU acting back in 2011 when Dream High came out and she hasn't really improved in my view. I do feel as though Lee Joon Ki is always getting paired with women who simply cannot act to save their lives. It's really unfair to him as he basically has to pull the ratings of the dramas he is in all by himself! I also do like Joo Won and he is just as good as Lee Joon Ki. Like Joon Ki, he also gets paired with bad actresses.

IU isn't the best actress, but for me she improved a lot , of course she lacks beside lee jun ki , because she is a such good actor . I think that is difficult find a female actress in same level with LJK , anyway IU is doing a good job

NoonaVip MeniNova • Saturday, October 1, 2016

He's so underrated but I think I prefer him this way. When they get too popular, they end up disappearing into CFs and fan meetings with useless news about their airport fashion etc n such. I want him to stay exclusive to us in k dramas for now lol But, I'm actually excited for him on his Hollywood debut for resident evil in Jan 2017. I want him for us but I know he deserves to be recognized to us. And yes, he's been paired with some mediocre actresses, but he's so versatile that he make them pretty great anyway.

Yeah, I'm unimpressed by most of the actresses in the Korean acting industry. But I agree, LJK is on another level and it will be difficult to find an actress as good as LJK.

MeniNova NoonaVip • Saturday, October 1, 2016

I agree as well. I feel like LJK is my own little hidden gem and like you, I would like to keep it that way. Wow, I didn't know that he was debuting in Hollywood. Good news and good luck to him! Some of the actors/actresses who are really popular are either that way because of their beauty, good connections and good marketing(it is my opinion). I do think that is why I am not watching as many K-dramas as I used to some years ago. Most of the dramas nowadays are filled with lacklustre and dull acting—it's almost lifeless if you get what I mean. Anyways, most of LJK's dramas and movies have been really good but I haven't been able to finish them due to the fact that the lead females are awful and monotonous! I really do feel sorry for him.

Well, I really like Shin Min Ah & he worked with her. She always pulls her weight imo. But otherwise no one else in the cast of any of the shows he's worked on get close to his level. That's, however, common for actors/actresses who are really good. & I really can't think of anyone else other than IU they could've gotten to fit the role (she doesn't even fully fit it). All the other really good actresses are older than the role calls for or most likely not interested, & it seems like they wanted to get an actress who was somewhat known for the drama. Also, you got a like for giving me an excuse to see Jensen Ackles.

I must agree that I liked him with Shin min Ah in Arang and Magistrate. I would mind watching that drama again.

MeniNova Toss • Sunday, October 2, 2016

I began watching Arang and the Magistrate when it came out but I lost interest as the pace was a bit too slow for me. Shin Min Ah is an alright actress. Haha, I like Jensen Ackles as I like his character in Supernatural.
