That’s pretty good considering we didn’t have a cliffhanger last ep.
I think Seung Gi did monitor all his previous roles because his acting has been improving after each project. I was really upset when some people said that Seung Gi did an awesome job in TK2H because his partner is HJW. No, just NO. He did well because he spent time researching his character regardless of his partner.
I personally love all his emotions as well as his chemistry with Suzy and other costars in GFB 🙂
whoever his partners will be…doesn’t matter to me…ehhehehhe…i will still like him very very very much!!!….
I love Choi Kang Chi!!! He is so macho, innocent, upright, cute n cool….not forgetting he’s good looks n long legs! (His legs are so long – especially in the saguk costume!) Seung Gi is showing us impeccable acting in this drama, I can’t find any trace of Seung Gi or JaeHa in Kang Chi – with the exception of the uber cute dimple!! Ep8 is so exciting I thoroughly enjoyed it. Can’t wait for next Monday to arrive so I can find out how Kang Chi will recover from the sword wound. Feel so sorry that he has to continuously endure the betrayal n hurt by the people he loves. Guess this is part of his growing up n character building process. Kang Chi FIGHTING!!!
Acting in such a saguk drama (or any other dramas for that matter) requires team work from the various actors acting out the characters. No one stands out like a sore thumb except to complement each other in the story. So Seung Gi particularly did well in this.
We saw a whole new dimension of acting from him, especially in the ep 7, the part where he was fighting within himself – the human and beast half – the acting was what I have never seen from him before! I was thinking to myself, that might have been a little over-the-top acting BUT this is what the story requires. We may feel uncomfortable about that style of acting but it means he has overcame his acting limits, in chinese we can say, he has 豁出去了. Just like how he overcame his fear of heights to jump down from the roof top in the third ep.
We should not compare his acting from K2H to GFB as well. After all, both are a different genre (though both are as dramatic as each other) and K2H requires a more subtle performance while GFB needs a more outward performance. Seung Gi merely adapted well to each style of acting.
And so, we do not see Lee Seung Gi or Lee Jae Ha in GFB. We only see Choi Kang Chi ❤
This will also be an testament to his hard work and professionalism as an actor.
Good job, hwaiting!!
