I've heard some people absolutely scorch Rain for his acting in this, but - I kinda suspect it's just cause they know he's a huge music star, because when I first watched it I didn't know anything about him and I thought he acted darn well. But yeah, with him it's hard to tell. Whether he's being an expressionless doll with a range of two expressions or whether he's deliberately putting in all those convincing nuances that turn up.

and I gotta say, the secondary female lead in this is THE MOST ANNOYING, WHINY, SELFISH bitch I've ever seen in a drama, hands-down - and I've seen so many of them in dramas. The first time I watched it I watched all the scenes with her too, why I don't know, I guess I assumed I was supposed to care.
yeah. I don't.

and yet. Love it. In all its trainwreck fabulousness.
