1. [+3,170, -37] He's the model rookie. Good mindset but I mostly like that he's a good actor too.

2. [+2,842, -38] His scenes were short but teen Hyun Soo left the most lasting impression on me... and now reading this interview, I see that he's humble as well. I wish to see more of his acting.

3. [+2,446, -27] His acting was great! Started watching 'Eundong' after falling for Junior ㅎㅎ

4. [+2,055, -22] Natural acting and really pulled off the emotional bits as well~ A rising star to look forward to~

5. [+339, -2] Realized now that his stage name is Junior because his name is Park Jin Young

6. [+337, -1] His acting left an impression. I even had to look up who this actor was because I was that curious.

7. [+329, -1] Probably wouldn't have continued watching the drama if not for Junior-ssi. He really set the drama off to a good start.

8. [+321, -0] He's not your traditional handsome face but like Kim Soo Hyun in "Will it snow on Christmas", he has a type of charm that makes you fall for him bit by bit


Additional comments from kkuljaem

1. [+3,164, -37] Such a charming rookie. He is optimistic but his acting is also worthy of praise. Hyun Soo's the best.

2. [+2,838, -38] It was short but the teenage Hyun Soo left the deepest impression.. You can feel that he's an easy-going guy from his interviews... I wish they gave him more parts .......

3. [+2,441, -27] Amazing acting!! Fell for Junior and I continued watching MLE ㅎㅎ

4. [+2,050, -22] His acting was really natural and he's got a good grasp of emotional scenes~ Definitely a rising star to look forward to~

5. [+1,840, -19] Good at acting and cute too~

6. [+338, -2] Oh. So his real name is Park Jin Young and stage name is Junior

7. [+336, -1] His acting blew me away that I had to search up who he is.

8. [+287, -1] I thought he's an actor. Had no idea he's an idol

9. [+115, 0] Junior~ You're the man~ The crappy acting audition part was so cute~ His crying scenes were poignantly done! See you in another drama~^^

10. [+96, 0] Wow.. He's an idol? I honestly thought he was a rookie actor.. He completely shattering my idol stereotypes.. Good luck with your future projects!!

11. [+71, 0] The writer praised him too.. So charismatic


When asked in an interview about the 10s and 20s Hyunsoo and Eundong younger versions, the writer was all praises for Junior.

My Love Eundong writer rlly wants to use Got7 Jr. again,&she said she never wanted to write teen romance before but now she does bcuz of him

Now I'm curious if he lives up to the hype or not. Maybe I should give the drama a try and see.

[turtles-tszx.livejournal.com]

Give it a try! I watched the drama bcos of him and ended up looking forward to it every week. It's really good imo, despite being a melodrama. There's no noble Idiocy or all tht bs korean hero usually have.

[simplyseasalt.livejournal.com]

All right. Thank goodness this drama doesn't have those annoying tropes. I'll watch it right now!

Good for you Junior!
I hope he'll get great roles in the future so he can show his talent. Appearance wise, Koreans love his feature, I think he's a great mixture and softer version of Kim Sohyun and Taec.

my baby ;~; i would love to see him in a cute teen romance thing.

i could see him being super popular in the future. hopefully jyp will choose the right projects for him to grow.

tbh he wasn't amazing in mled (baek sung hyun is obviously a better actor than him) but he definitely has potential. i was surprised by how natural he was considering he's had so little experience.

I was really impressed at his talent/potential. I have no real knowledge of him outside of MLE, but I found myself wishing that he had more screen time once his era in the drama was over.

Where's his movie deal?????

I love that it's been so long since his episodes have been and people are STILL talking about him. Get that amazing first impression, boy - ride on that momentum till you become a star.
