I WISH HE READ THIS 😭❤😂

[@adobokkeumbap]

fun fact: Kim Seon Ho was satisfied with his life in theatre and had money. His shows were often sold out and famous in the industry, he was very happy with that. But then, it was his parents' wishes to see him on tv so he went on and auditioned for Good Manager, went on to be a lead on You Drive Me Crazy. It was enough for him since he felt like he fulfilled their wishes. But then offers kept coming in, 2d1n came too, there he is, not even knowing how much impact his character did for the world.

[@sakuranovaryan9261]

Yeah...he seems like a self actualzed guy...he's a good role model imo...

[@pixiestudies2344]

But he also says that a director who watched his play had recommended him to join the k dramas. Even when he didn't care much about the request. By his suggestion he had just tried and entered the screen through Good Manager.

[@whitesnoowflake9665]

Than his ex girlfriend claimed that he only thought of his career and wanted to be famous … now you see that he felt so bad that he only apologized without telling his side of the story. He took all the blame from the public and than decided to turn down every offer for this year. In korea to take a step like this is very risky. You risk to lose many fans and future job offers because there are so many rising stars nowadays and you can easily be replaced or forgotten these days. But It just truly shows that he didn‘t really care about the fame and the money. He also donates most of it. He just felt guilty to still stand in public and wanted to take a step back because he was sorry… I hope he is fine now and knows that everyone is on his side and he can happily coming back because everyone is waiting for him 💙

[@unko-nee9672]

@@whitesnoowflake9665 well, he's coming back slowly. With the news of him attending AAA 2022, in talks with a new drama, and another casting for a new movie, a fanmeeting, he will comeback stronger. Also, his fandom is still solid especially outside Korea

[@denniszenanywhere]

It’s to avoid the ugly backlash of the dodal ending. It would not have happened if they didn’t expect people to dislike the drama if he didn’t end up with dalmi. The way he is constantly explaining the character is the condition us to think it’s just a character. He also says, do San and dalmi are meant to be together, to make his audience understand that the ending will not be hjp and dalmi. It’s a good public relations video. But good thing is that he will no longer be a second male lead with his growing fan base.

No wonder why people were so empathized with Jipyeong.

@@AnushkaMartolia He was quite likable in the first few episodes ngl but then at some point (sometime after he fell in love with the female lead) he became possessive, aggressive, insecure, manipulative, ungrateful and totally unlikable. He keeps blaming everyone else for his mistakes, never owns up to his mistakes, shows no remorse. He gets away with everything by self-pity and being a crybaby. He never has to face consequences for his actions, every thing is magically in his favor just because he’s the first lead. NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WHATSOEVER...

It's not about handsomeness or cuteness, he really is something.. I had my fair share of Oppas since I've started watching K dramas 15 years ago, but he really is different. There is something very charming about him 💙 Let's come to acting.. He never forgets to praise his co-stars but truth be told, he is the one who deserves all the praises. No hatred against Joo Hyuk & Suzy but they are far behind in terms of acting. He gives so much importance & details to his role and scenes. For instance, in HomeCha, he sang a song and for that 3 mins scene, he learnt to play guitar. His dedication is admirable 💙 I hope you're doing okay, Seon Ho ya 💙 Eat alot of Tteokbokki and come back stronger 💙 Miss you 🌱

The way the story is being written since ep 10, it's utter bullshit and annoying, everything falls so conveniently into place for Dosan wheh he comes back, meeting Jipyeong when Jipyeong was about to propose Dalmi, calling Dalmi at the exact time when Dalmi was about to call Jipyeong, I mean how much more trashy and cliche ridden a story can be!!?? Park Hyeryun is just sabotaging her own beautifully started story just to satisfy the brainless fans of hallyu stars of the show. And now what!? The whole swoon+Netflix team is giving Seon-ho this type of script to tell on a solo interview that Jipyeong can never be with Dalmi even if he were honest, really!!?? Dalmi didn't date anyone just because he loved the person who wrote her the letters, comforted her in her worst, her first and comforting love, that is Jipyeong, she would never even look at that weirdo dosan if she didn't think he was the person who wrote her the letters. Swoon+Netflix are you doing this to prepare for the trash we are going to get in the last two episodes!!?? Have some shame lowlifes!!

He is really kind and empathetic as he keeps talking amd praising his fellow co-stars and ge he is really immersed with his character and the plot story, he just keeps talkimg about his thoughts while filming certain scenes so we could see more of his and character 's perspective. His personality is just like Ji Pyeong, he likes to take care of others and thinks of other' s well being than his own. I'm frustrated that his character hasn't found his happiness, that was a mistake from the writer's part. I really hope he becomes even more successful and that he will become the main actor of his next drama. I hope he keeps challenging himself with different roles.
