GO. KYUNG. PYO. Nothing else to say. I think the cast of Chicago Typewriter is amazing as a whole but he is just…ARGH, I can’t even define in words. Is it because of the suits? Likely because of them, but he is simply gorgeous on this and I also like his acting. He is so… I don’t know which words to use, but you understand me, I think. +

+ And his voice? Oh my God. I’ve always liked him even though I unfortunately dropped some dramas that he was in (not because of him, of course) but this is the one. I want to see the best he has to offer in this role, tears, rage, funny moments, EVERYTHING. (Sorry, I’m being too much, I know) Final message to drama gods: let him be with Kim Seul Gi again, please! (in something angsty, can you even imagine?)

ANON FINALLY I have time (and a proper keyboard) to respond!

He’s definitely a scene stealer, at least for me. I’m finding CT easy to zone out when (a) he’s not on screen, or (b) we’re not in the 1930′s. But that does mean ep 6 was fantastic and managed to pull me back in just when I was seriously considering dropping it because the whole ghost bromance is gonna be my favorite thing, I just know it.

I do consider myself a fan of GKP ever since FBND (*cries over my favorite otp to end all otps*), but… I also feel like… I can’t really call myself a fan when I’ve only watched a handful of his stuff. I mean, other than FBND and his SNL skits, plus a handful of episodes of Potato Star (I think I made it to ep 20, which sounds like a lot until you realize there’s 120 episodes total) and half of Jealousy Incarnate (which I still have vague plans to go back to), I haven’t really watched a lot of his work.

Wait, I did see the entirety of the Youth Over Flowers season he did with the other R88 boys, and I also saw the film Man On High Heels where he was great in a role that I’d not seen him play before (I like that he’s skilled in comedy but would totally love more serious stuff, plz!).

Buuuuut… that’s it. None of his other dramas registered much interest.

(I swear one day I’ll actually get around to watching R88 but only when I don’t look at that episode length and decide I have better ways to spend my time – namely I could watch two dramas in the time it would take me to watch that one.)

So for me to be going “he’s so great and such a scene stealer!” just because I’ve watched him in, like, five projects is maybe a little presumptuous but I don’t care. I love him and think he deserves any praise he gets. Yeah, I know the haters are gonna hate, and there’s a lot of netizens who don’t like him because of his SNS scandals, but it seems like he’s taken their criticisms to heart and is working on his image. Give the boy a chance, people!

As for him teaming up with Kim Seul Gi again, well, sure, of course I’d love to see my favorite OTP reunited, but honestly I’m also fine with letting the perfection of Webtoon Editor and Dong Hoon remain untainted. I definitely agree, however, that something dark and angsty would be excellent for him, based solely on how impressed I was by him in Man On High Heels.

By the way, I’m the anon who sent you the message about Go Kyung Pyo being awesome in Chicago Typewriter, I’m saying this before you answer my question so you can believe me, hahaha I have a mydramalist account which I plan to reactivate (blame it on the drama and on him <3), I used to be your friend in there, my username is sailormoonlight! Maybe we can discuss the drama in there, since I have no longer patience with tumblr (I had one more than a year ago, not a huge fan of it, as you can see)

I genuinely have no idea how to do anything on MDL except make lists.

But yeah, sure, re-befriend me on MDL (where, for anyone else curious, I have the oh-so-creative handle of odilettante) and feel free show me how to be social.

How much do you like Go Kyung Pyo? I’m curious (and to me he was shiny in that dance club scene). Also, how good is the entire cast of Chicago Typewriter? (except the guy who screams all the time and almost makes me deaf, since I use headphones to watch) + the script is also great so far. I’m so afraid this will disappoint me. The length is already problematic, I have almost no time to watch stuff and then tvN does that to me… I skipped the first 5 min too!

I love him, but then I blindly latch onto actors who were in roles that I adored and follow them until the bitter end, hoping they’ll finally get the role that will show the world how great they are and that I’ve always known they were since the beginning. I haven’t watched everything he’s done (not even Reply 1988, because omg those episode lengths!), but I’ve liked him in whatever I’ve seen him in.

The script is… okay? I literally fast-forwarded through most of ep 2 so I’m not sure I’m qualified to comment on the script, but I also know this writer isn’t one I particularly like so I wasn’t really expecting greatness in the script, anyway. Her projects are generally saved by the talent of the cast (at least in my estimation). Although, I’m not feeling the chemistry between Yoo Ah In and Im Soo Jung, which is weird because I know they’re good actors and should convince me of anything, but… eh. I think there’s a good concept, though, and I hope it goes as dark as I want it to (c’mon lets go full-on horror/mystery!), but realistically we’ll probably wallow in the modern day where I get bored easily. 

Now, if there were more than fifteen minutes of the 1930′s scenes, then maybe I’d like this show a lot more than I do. I’ll still give it a chance next week, but only to see what happens with Go Kyung Pyo since he only appeared for a few minutes at the end. I fully expect it’ll hit my “drop” list, though.
