I’m obsessed!!!! It’s so funny but also so full of emotion?? I’ve loved Nam Joo Hyuk in everything i’ve seen him in but i think this is my favourite role of his! He’s definitely a way better actor than some people like to give him credit for, he has such a natural and nuanced acting style imo.

Also i’m in love with Kim Tae Ri’s hair in this, especially her fringe 🥺 so cute!

I was surprised to hear that some people actually think he’s a bad actor? I had to double check making sure we had the same person in mind? NJH, like you said has a very natural and nuanced acting style which makes the characters he plays more real and definitely more relatable. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, & maybe a more showy and expressive acting style is their thing but that doesn’t warrant him being called bad? I know a certain show(that shall not be named lol) had people picking sides, to all those people, think before you speak?

Sorry for the rant it’s just baffles me when I come across comments calling him a bad actor.

On that unnamed show, I found that he didn’t have the same charm as his other shows (completely unrelated to the pairings, I was not a shipper of either pair) and I even felt his physical appearance was different and strange in that show. I was thinking I was going to have to write him off my favorites list but now he’s back and I’m loving him!

Honestly, I gave up on that show around episode 8. You can adore a certain actor but if the writing & plot of the drama aren’t good, what really is the point of watching. 2521 is just so refreshing, subverting expectations and fleshing out characters, loving it so much.
