Date: 2012-09-19 05:41 am (UTC)plus her singling, singing and dancing were really good (her dancing moves were weirdly similar to yunho's, you could see she was being truthful when she said he helped her out on that). it's been 3 years since she had been in a drama, i'm still pressed that sm knocked her out of the 'love rain' run and didn't bother to gvie her anything on 'to the beautiful you'.

Date: 2012-09-19 08:30 am (UTC)SME can't figure out a way to crack the drama industry, that's probably why they merged with an acting company, hoping it could help them with the connections already there. But if with this company, but they still use their old ways of working, then it'll be a waste of money and won't go anywhere. They have to give their talents better roles, and stop dumbing down their dramas that they produced. And stop sticking to one way of filming, using their matrix cameras. Lord, them in the drama industry will be like them in the music videos department. If one formula sells, they'll keep using it and milking it, with some differences, but with use of matrix cameras. Thank god, the drama industry is extremely competitive, and require different structures in almost every drama in order to be different and 'unique'.
SME definitely got the variety and music industry lock down. Drama industry will be very very hard. Though it seemed like they have been buying or merging with so many companies through recent years. They want to be a conglomerate really badly.

haha, lmao. Yeah, for that, I'm glad.
Just that if big names like Hyun Bin really sign on with them, I have to wonder. However, I can't imagine big name actors bowing down to SM when they earn so much already--in the sense that in theory, it should be more of the actors picking which dramas they want to act in than which dramas the company wants them to act in.
Finally, I admit that probably only Yoochun will get the chance to work with the bigger names anyways (at this moment anyways because that's how they rank in terms of their acting, putting all my bias aside lol).

Date: 2012-09-19 09:23 am (UTC)cause I doubt big name like Jang Dong Gun, Han Ji Min, and Kim Ha Neul are willing to be used as a trade off, beside their old contract still valid. But you will see more sme idol got featured in drama though. That for sure.
