Kim Soo Hyun

Behind the scene stories about the production was revealed, and one opinion stated that the actor has chosen the worst choice ever.
After the premiere of ‘Real’ premiere, Kim Soo Hyun was highly criticized, which worsened his reputation. Many audience who watched the movie commented ‘I do not know what kind of movie is this’, which shows that this movie is not in accordance with their expectations.
Kim Soo Hyun plans to enter the army in the following spring, and if he has a chance, he wants to do one more work to fix the damage that he has created with ‘Real’.
Im Si Wan
On July 11, Im Si Wan will start his military service at Yangju Juvenile Training School in Gyeonggi-do.
In 2010, Im Si Wan debuted as a member of ZE: A, then in 2012, he started his acting career through MBC drama ‘The Moon That Embrace the Sun’. Ever since his first masterpiece, Im Si Wan has already captured viewers’ attention. He then starred in ‘Misaeng’ and ‘The Attorney’, ‘Thinking About My Bias’,’ One Line ‘and’ The Merciless’ movies. He grew up to be a great actor.
Im Si Wan’s movie ‘The Merciless’ received an invitation from the Cannes Film Festival and became a topic of conversation. Im Si Wan will also greet his fans soon through MBC’s ‘The King Loves’ which will start airing on July 17th.
‘The King Loves’ is set in Goryeo empire. According to the descriptions of the production team, human emotions, aspirations, and jealousy will be revealed in a beautifully portrayed love story of the upper middle class in this drama. As a pre-produced drama, the drama has finished filming some time ago.
Though it is starring Im Si Wan, Yoona, and Hong Jong Hyun, the script is written by Song Ji Na, and taking Goryeo era as its background, this drama might also fail. We’ll see how it fares to decide the final point for Im Si Wan.
