Friday pictures: Hyun Bin: Still rocking the bad boy look

Hyun Bin! My big and consistent love! A man with dimples and good acting skills! I am watching "Worlds Within" (one of most underrated dramas of all times) . He is as good as ever in this drama, wearing checkered shirts and tight trousers. But as much as I love his character in "Worlds Within", I must say that his best look is that of scruffy bad boy. I have found some of excellent examples of this look, from the times of "Friend our legend". He even had a very short haircut during these times, my personal weakness:






I want a shirt like this.








And I want a shirt like this too, preferably with Hyun Bin in it.

I think WW's first ep can be offputting - it's so chaotic and throws you in the middle of all these characters and relationships none of which you know. I love it on rewatch but as a start I think it's a rocky one.

One of the things I love about WW is that the relationships feel real - I can imagine real people in them (e.g. much as I am enjoying Stairway to Heaven, no way any real person would be like that).

I loved their break-up, dramatically. Because (a) it proves how much she loves him and (b) it was so real that it wasn't because just of some pure noble 'my infirmity shall not sully her' motive but a lot of things mixed into that.

Yes, I also feel this. I like slice-of-life dramas like this, you feel that you are almost in a real world. As much as I enjoy your posts about StH - there is no way I am watching this. I remember "Winter Sonata" made me literally ill (I caught a cold but I am sure it wasn't just a coincidence), and this considering I knew it ends well. You are so brave watching these things.

I love "I must stay away" trope when it is done well. LOVE IT.

I think I am going to be taking a break from StH actually. it's like this emotional hothouse. I can't have too much at once, it overwhelms me.

Also, my fave angsty scene in WW is here - starts at 3:25. I love it so much! It's the one I mentioned upthread.

I am on the episode 6 now, but this scene - I have been watching and rewatching it countless times already. :D
