Oh good Lord

Oh, Good God.

According to Koala, the latest contenders for the leading lady role in Yoochun's melo 'I Miss You' are Gu Hye Sun and Lee Min Jung.

TPTB must really hate me!

Those are the only two kdrama actresses I cannot stand. I might even be prepared to tolerate Jang Nara more than those two. GHS is the worst kdrama actress I've ever seen - I can deal with wooden but it's hard to ignore when someone on your screen constantly emotes like a chipmunk on speed - I've seen her in Boys Over Flowers, Absolute Boyfriend, The King and I, that ridiculous Eric fusion thing, and she was uniformly unbearable in every single one. To add insult to injury, she has little chemistry with her costars and I don't find her in the least good-looking. UGH. BARF.

Lee Min Jung is objectively pretty (though she makes me think of a borzoi for some reason), and isn't as teeth-grindingly bad as GHS but I just cannot stand her. That started with BOF, where her appearance (and utterly ridiculous amounts of screentime) signified the turning point of when this drama went from awesome to flaming trainwreck. The disaster that was BIG did not help. In general, she just irritates me for some reason. I mean, I even skipped MIDAS with my obsession Jang Hyuk because she was in it.

Basically, either one of them in, I am out. The end.

also, for terrible actresses in kdrama, GHS would have to be a LOT worse before she's nearly as irritating/bad as Kim Sa Rang in A Love To Kill (one of my earliest kdramas, and I don't know how she managed it but her character was not only annoying but spat out every single line of dialogue with the same inflection, I only made it through that drama on rewatch by tuning out every time she spoke).

Hmmm, I disliked her character in ALTK but don't remember hating her acting particularly. The main thing I remember about ALTK is how I cried my guts out :)

it's easy to be distracted by Rain and Shin Min Ah but even they weren't enough to distract me from the badness/plain annoyingness of KSR's acting/dialogue delivery, it's like Kristen Stewart levels of badness/sameness, if Kristen Stewart specialised in playing hyper/angry instead of bored/sullen.
