I will also say that while I’ve always been a casual fan of Suju (because how can you not when you’re a 2nd gen kpop fan), Kyuhyun was never really on my radar except for being the sassy maknae and part of KRY (which is my fave Suju subgroup because of Yesung). But now he’s become one of my fave things about NJTTW and I’m gonna be sad when he eventually enlists and not even Na PD can stop that.
By artist did you mean as a musician or did you mean with his drawing/painting skills? (Huge fan here.)
His drawing skillz. This is what he did to Jae Hyun’s shirt (while Jae Hyun was still wearing it!):
That’s Su Geun, Na PD, and Kyuhyun (yes Su Geun was purposefully making a stupid face)
Yessss. It’s scary how much his quick drawings really do capture his models’ likeness.
He also drew this after being featured on Epik High’s “Born Hater” and gifted it to Tablo. (From L to R: top row iKON Bobby, Beenzino, Verbal Jint, second row iKON B.I, Tablo, DJ Tukutz, Mithra Jin, Mino)
And this one during Winner’s guesting on Weekly Idol (that’s Defconn and Hyungdon), and they gifted this to a lucky fan.
I think it’s definitely possible for drama tastes to change. The love lines/triangles used to be the think I liked the most about it and I was super invested in them. But nowdays I rarely like them. In fact, a lot of times I feel like they just get in the way of the rest of the story. I tend to skip through those scenes now.
Yeah, I don’t read/watch the same stories/shows that used to be the ones I adored when I was younger. I still have my faves that give me butterflies, though. I still like romance! I just don’t know if I like the packaged view of romance that dramaland tries so hard to sell me. Probably because I usually prefer the one who isn’t the lead, so it’s hard to buy into the main romance in the first place.
Straight romance is not for everyone…I prefer a side of mayhem and murder, myself. I loved Marriage Not Dating, but it’s so about family and friends, too I don’t know if it counts. X)
Yeah, but it’s weird because rom-coms were the reason I started watching dramas in the first place. Hana Yori Dango led to BoF, which then led to You’re Beautiful (and the rest, as they say, is history).
I dunno. Maybe my tastes have changed as I’ve grown older? I know I like the more ponderous dramas that I might have skipped before, where sure there can be romance but it’s not the only thing. In fact, the more low-key the romance, the more I will probably enjoy it.
