Playful kiss Teaser 2

I am sooo anticipating for Playful kiss to air! I think (well its a secret wish) that KHJ will do well here to win over critics of his last performance. I dont think he is a bad actor in flower boys, I just think the role wasnt a good role in there. They made him too princely....so hopefully in here, he can have more expressions like being annoyed, being pissed, being amused with a dash of romantic dreaminess etc etc....essentially being more "realistic" a character.

I am definitely looking forward to being entertained. Afterall it is adapted from a a manga and so I am preparing to be indulge myself like I would reading a comic. I love this 2nd teaser more than the first because it showed a wider range of KHJ's expressions. How can he still be sooooooo charming even if he is yelling at Hani? LOL...

About the question regarding his somewhat delayed comeback to acting after "Boys over Flowers", Kim answered, "I had performed very hard as a singer so far by releasing an album". He added, "Before taking this role, I was worried about how I can play a high school student because I am already 25 years old. But I had been informed that the production director Hwang In-roi would direct this drama, so I applied to have an audition and earned the role of a high school student. While acting, I am trying to speak as aggressively as possible. I sometimes have to shout and show a disheveled appearance in the drama, so I might be able to present more interesting acting than I did in 'Boys over Flowers'."

Kim Hyun-joong, who belongs to the group SS501, had been caught up in controversy over his acting ability due to his rather inaccurate pronunciation. He said, "I am practicing speaking while biting a cork stopper to create more accurate pronunciation. I still feel ashamed when people call me an actor. I am acting as an actor, but it is still more natural for me to stand on the stage as a singer. As I am trying very hard to acquire qualifications to become a real actor, I think that I might be able to say confidently that I am an actor someday in the future. I will be happy if I can hear people's evaluation saying, 'He put more effort on acting in this drama than when he appeared in 'Boys over Flowers'."
