Holy TOP

:O

TOP being an actor is great and all, but has anyone watched him act in anything yet? He was barely impressive in what little I saw of Iris, so it’s hard for me to gauge. I’m sure he’s not as bad as Kim Hyun-joong (nobody can be as bad as Hyun-joong), but what the dealio on TOP’s acting?

    he. is. hot.
    i haven’t watched a single episode of Iris yet, so i really don’t know if he’s any good in acting or not.
    one thing i know is that he can make you melt in your seat with his looks and stares.

    DITTO!! to what cattey says. and damn, what that first pic is doing to me, lol. As for HJ, the only thing I saw him in was those first 2-3 eps of HYD, and yes…cringe-worthy comes closest to the most accurate description, but there are some actresses I think can rival him (usually those with prettier faces too). Oh to coast on good-looks, I wonder how that must feels like.

    I’ve seen his acting in both “I am sam” and “Iris”, and in both it was kinda hard to tell whether or not he was actually good at acting tbh (which is prob the answer you’re not after^^) but bc he was playing the ‘cold, tough bad boy’ style, he didn’t have that much dialogue, nor did he need to show that much range of emotion :S
    I do think he was a little awkward in both (for different reasons – ‘I am sam’ being his first role, and ‘Iris’ being such a blockbuster and working with veterans like Lee Byunghun prob put that much more pressure on him) and even though he has a lot of charisma and swagger (yes, sorry to use that word lol) it doesn’t come across amazingly well in a drama setting as opposed to a perf stage
    personally, i think his greatest acting was in the Redroc ‘Hello’ MV.. but i feel bad saying that seeing as though he didn’t need to open his mouth at all :D .. so mayb he needs to work on dialogue delivery a bit more? i think it will come with experience, and hopefully he’ll diversify into other roles bc i do think he has potential, and he seems to take acting pretty seriously
    but u may want to check it out for yourself, bc im totally biased – all he has to do is raise one of those eyebrows and GG

    He looks boyish in a great way in the second image. SO CHARMING.

    i’ve heard great things about his acting through his into the fire press conferences, in which the lead actors praised TOP for his acting skills.
    i guess we’ll have to wait to go see the movie to find out (not that anyone minds..i mean, look at these pictures!)
