Hot banner! @bairama 😍 Thanks @mademoiselle and @abs-oluteM for the BTS videos. Apart from Hyun Bin's projects, I hardly watch BTS but Devil Judge ones seem quite fun 🥰 But I seem to have missed the parts mentioned below: Watch: GOT7’s Jinyoung And Ji Sung Sweetly Take Care Of Each Other On Set Of “The Devil Judge” Aug 4, 2021 by S. Nam tvN’s “The Devil Judge” released a new behind-the-scenes video! In the new making-of video, GOT7’s Jinyoung gets playful as he makes the camera follow him around. After his actual hair stylist and makeup artist appear briefly in the drama, he tells them that they’ve done a great job. In a different scene with Ji Sung, Jinyoung takes care of the other actor by removing a small piece of dust from his face. Ji Sung helps Jinyoung film his scene by silently mouthing his lines so that Jinyoung can immerse himself in his role. Grateful for the help, Jinyoung hugs Ji Sung afterwards. While Jinyoung is filming, Ji Sung also uses an electric mosquito swatter behind him so that he isn’t bothered. While resting, Jinyoung mentions how Ji Sung’s shirt was about to burst while fighting. Embarrassed, Ji Sung reveals, “It was the shirt that was small.” Eyeing the staff’s mosquito swatter, Jinyoung shares, “I really want that.” Ji Sung tells that staff member, “You keep it. You’ll get it stolen by him.” Jinyoung warns, “Be careful. I have sticky fingers.” Eventually, Jinyoung gets his hands on the mosquito swatter, which he uses diligently until it’s confiscated by another staff member. In the middle of Park Gyu Young and Jinyoung’s scene, a large ferry passes by, causing them to stop filming in order to wave at the excited passengers on board. Ji Sung and Kim Min Jung also remain energetic while filming their scene, laughing from having to do multiple takes. Back at the courtroom, Jinyoung massages Ji Sung’s shoulders to help him loosen up. Later, Ji Sung playfully stretches a hand out to check if Jinyoung is sleeping, but Jinyoung keeps making up excuses by saying that he was immersing himself in the moment. Kim Min Jung struggles to remember the order of her yoga poses, and although she nails the pose properly, she eventually falls because she can’t maintain her balance. The director compliments her after her workout, but Kim Min Jung compares herself to a character from the horror move “The Ring.” When Jang Young Nam joins the scene, she and Kim Min Jung compete on who is the character that’s more cruel. Afterwards, Kim Min Jung breaks all the glasses on the table, and the director makes her freeze on the spot so that she doesn’t hurt herself while filming. Source

jtbcdrama JTBC's new drama "39" in the first half of 2022 Son Ye-jin X Jeon Mi-do X Kim Ji-hyun, a heart-warming combination.💖 ㅤ A 39-year-old friend's ordinary, unfaithful daily life 💨 JTBC <39> Coming Soon! 🔜

Description of the roles. Son Ye-jin, Jeon Mi-do, Kim Ji-hyun appeared in '309, 9', and 309 friends with ups and downs (official) Enter 2021.08.04. 9:03 am Reporter Lee Min-ji [News News Reporter Lee Min-ji] Actors Son Ye-jin, Jeon Mi-do, and Kim Ji-hyun work together as three friends who live to be thirty-nine years old. The real human romance JTBC new drama 'Thirty, Nine' (played by Yoo Young-ah / directed by Kim Sang-ho), which deals with the in-depth stories of friendship, love, and life of three friends who are about to turn forty, will be cast on August 4th by Son Ye-jin, Jeon Mi-do, and Kim Ji-hyun. has been confirmed 'Thirty, Nine' depicts the ordinary and windless daily life of thirty-nine-year-old friends who meet by chance one day in their second year of high school and look at their forties together. The women, who formed a precious relationship at an unexpected moment, face another unexpected thing one day, and live a day of thirty-nine that is hotter than ever. I wonder what kind of fate awaits them and the story of the three women's tumultuous 39 years that will fill the beautiful and heartbreaking first half of 2022. Son Ye-jin plays the role of Cha Mi-jo, the director of Gangnam Dermatology Clinic. It expresses a 39-year-old woman who is warm and sometimes full of the scent of cool water as a person who grew up in a well-to-do between a caring father, a generous mother, and a good-natured older sister. I look forward to seeing how Son Ye-jin, who is loved and trusted by the public for her in-depth acting, will complete the character Cha Mi-jo, who will once again fascinate the small room. Jeon Mi-do, who will show another thirty-nine life with Son Ye-jin, takes on the role of acting teacher Jeong Chan-young. A person who ran with the dream of becoming an actor, but became an acting teacher because it did not work out as much as his heart. There is always sincerity in the harsh tone that he spit out, so he doesn't hate him even if he spit out harsh words. The transformation of Jeon Mi-do, who will write a new character for her life through the character Jung Chan-young, is also paying attention to what kind of work will be filled in her thirty-nine years. Lastly, Ji-hyun Kim plays the role of Joo-hee Jang, a cosmetics manager at a department store. The character Jang Joo-hee has a timid personality and never had a proper relationship until she turned forty. There is a time for everything, but now that I am at the end of my 30s, I am paying attention to whether I can expect good things, and to the character Jang Joo-hee, which will be played by Ji-hyun Kim. As such, 'Thirty, Nine' is the meeting of three actors who have performed uniquely in dramas, movies, plays, and musicals, including Son Ye-jin (Cha Mi-jo), Jeon Mi-do (Jung Chan-young), and Kim Ji-hyeon (Jang Joo-hee). receiving it in the body. In particular, the fantastic lineup of three friends, which ended with Son Ye-jin, who wrote a new record in K-drama, Jeon Mi-do, who was reborn as a popular actor, and Kim Ji-hyun, who is famous as a trusted and watched actor in the musical world, raises expectations for the chemistry as well as the acting synergy they will create. In addition to the collaboration of writer Yoo Young-ah, who wrote 'Boyfriend' and director Kim Sang-ho, who directed 'Run On', it gives a foreboding of the birth of a real human romance drama that will stimulate the emotions and sympathy of the viewers. Meanwhile, JTBC's new drama 'Thirty, Nine' is scheduled to premiere in the first half of 2022. (Photo = MS Team Entertainment / Besters Entertainment / Vibe Actors) Source

Ji Sung Discusses His Drama Career And Character In ‘Devil Judge’ Aug 3, 2021,08:40am EDT|24 views Contributor: Joan MacDonald Ji Sung plays the mysterious and often cruel judge Kang Yo-han. STUDIO DRAGON Ji Sung is a very modest actor. When asked how he prepares to play characters as diverse as the split personalities of Cha Do-hyun in Kill Me, Heal Me, the hopeless chaebol in Protect The Boss or the terrifying judge Kang Yo-han in the current tvN drama Devil Judge, he says it requires considerable preparation. “I’m always on the lookout for ways to help in understanding my characters,” he said. “Getting immersed into a character isn’t very difficult for me. Whenever I meet a new character for a project, I prepare very earnestly to portray the character. I’m not an actor with incredible talent, so I believe preparing diligently is the answer for me.” Korean drama fans might argue with Ji Sung’s statement that he lacks incredible talent and the acting awards he’s won, including more than one grand prize, also contradict his humble opinion. In Kill Me, Heal Me alone, he convincingly plays several different characters. He’s played a variety of memorable roles in popular comedies and melodramas, including All In, Save The Last Dance For Me, My Familiar Husband and Secret Love. He plays the telegenic judge Kang Yo-han in the Devil Judge, which is set in Korea in a dystopian future. In the drama, Yo-han presides over court cases that are televised and voted on by the public, much like current idol singing contests. While viewers in the drama applaud the show for bringing justice to the corrupt rich and powerful, there are obvious flaws to such a system. The public is easily influenced and some of Yo-han’s sentences are cruel. Also, he has an agenda that’s based on his own past trauma. While creating the complex character Ji Sung focused on Yo-han’s back story, “I trained myself to constantly visualize Yo-han’s life,” said Ji Sung. “I did my best to understand his life and create the kind of emotions he would have felt in his life. Even if I couldn’t understand him, I accepted him wholly. Throughout production, all I thought about was the life of Yo-han. And it made me wonder about the kind of justice he needed.” Source

Oh dear, Kim Min Jung has contract disputes with agency. And she has not been paid! 😱 @KoreanUpdates #KimMinJung furthery explain abt her dispute. KimMinJung & CEO 'G' were discussing on new contract, but suddenly lost contact with 'G'. By discussing new contract means neither of them agreed for the automatic extention of the prev. contract. Bcs of this, #KimMinJung claim the contract was on hold, as there's no stamp on it. She also signed individual contract with #TheDevilJudge, so even her contract with compay ends, she still need to finish her work. #KimMinJung also stated her appearance fee hasn't been paid since Feb. She learnt that #TheDevilJudge paid through her company, WIP, but she never heard any of it from her company. https://entertain.naver.com/now/read?oid=144&aid=0000753305

Louis Koo When he first started acting Then as he got famous (I think a fortune teller told him he needs to be tan to prosper; anyway he does look better tanned)

Really? I've been watching his recent movies and thought he still looks ok. A bit stretched but I thought because he is so healthy and lean. He is 60 already. Love him too 😍 One of the most determined and hardworking actors. Louis Koo, sadly, his face is so distorted from aesthetic/cosmetic treatment. And he started so early when he didn't need it. Do any of you like him?

Hahaha No I didn't! So sad right? We held hands though - this time he was smarter, just said "Give me your hand" 🤣

The way I see it, there are 3 kinds of scenarios: 1. The guy doesn't know the girl (or are just acquaintances) and forces the kiss on her - NO 2. Guy and girl are friendly but there is no romantic feelings between them - NO generally - MAYBE, if the guy is super handsome lol! (and for @JenL does not have bad breath hahaha) 3. There is attraction between guy and girl - YES! For Secret Love, it's scenario 3. The FL in this case is not really pushing him off because she didn't want to kiss him. She was just caught by surprise and her nature is not the "grab and kiss him back hard" type. You can see that when he kissed her gently the second time, she kissed him back. I do understand that this is not a popular opinion these days. But I really dislike the idea of asking first. Maybe because I once got that question and by reflex, I said NO when I meant YES! 😭😂

Thanks @mademoiselle Oh and the wink Spoiler

He's smexy everywhere! Even at the dinner with Ga On, Elijah and the housekeeper, the way he looked at everyone - his eyes The thing is, it seems incredibly difficult to find anything on Ji Sung. I googled Ji Sung CF/advertisements once and all there was is the mattress ad with his wife. Btw, do all married couples film mattress ads? There's one with Rain and Kim Tae Hee too lol. And like you say, Ji Sung could also be the idol, so it's all very messy.

So nice

That's a good point. So far, the defendants have all been deserving of punishment. The prosecution tried to test Yo Han once, but... haha let you find out as you watch. If Sun Ah and gang caught on that Yo Han is on the "good" side, they should throw a case at him where the defendant is innocent but being framed. It would be interesting to see how Yo Han would handle that. So envious that you have all these new episodes to binge!

❤❤❤❤❤ Ji Sung wearing Breitling - Esquire September 2021 http://www.topdaily.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=112300

Exactly. She is chairperson of SRF - her humble beginnings should have been an asset - she can show that she understands the people and their struggles as she went through it herself. She seemed a little mentally unbalanced/psychotic in parts of ep10... From the preview, it looks like Jin Joo is going to be used to make a false accusation against Yo Han.
