T.O.P not taking "Jang Ok Jung, Live for Love" project

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

A staff from YG entertainment said that "T.O.P won't take the drama" to Newsen on Jan 3rd.

T.O.P had considered the casting of "Jang Ok Jung, Live for Love" affirmatively in the past November. But due to his filming and Big Bang's schedules, he decided not to take it.

If T.O.P appears there, Kim Tae Hee, who accepted lately that she is in a couple with Rain, may be his counterpart.

Meanwhile T.O.P's filming for Alumni is almost done.

as much as i love him, he's not a strong enough actor to be the lead (if he really was being considered for the king role)

but i would like to see him in a rom-com! something where he's not an assassin.

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

thank GOD. i want him to do a rom-com but jfc anyone but Kim Tae Hae, shes like a stone, no emotions.

and even though hes way better than he was in his first drama if he was to take a lead role he needs the other lead to be good so that they dont both bore me to death. though i think being in a rom-com would come more naturally for him and he'd do good.

The plot of this drama sounds like a train wreck.

[love-allure.livejournal.com]

as much as i think she is stunningly beautiful, she can't act AT ALL. and that drama she did with song seung hun? both were so cringe-worthy. TT_TT at least pair her up with someone who's good at acting this time.

God for him....that KTH photo looks really unfortunate.

[uglypricetag.livejournal.com]

mte it looks like she's posing by a door frame

has anyone seen 19? it popped up on hulu+ and i wonder if it's worth it. I Am Sam was so cringeworthy i couldn't sit through it, even for TOP's sake. and i love spy stuff but i couldn't get into IRIS :/

[muhnaplusmuhna.livejournal.com]

IAS was mindbogglingly horrible. Lol IRIS saved him for me. I started to fast-forward for his fine badass ways

[youxstolexit.livejournal.com]

yeah, saw 19 when it was free on hulu. It was decent. TOP was playing an aspiring rapper, and seungri was a dorky rich kid. it didn't seem like much of a stretch for acting, but entertaining. there's some good gifs of TOP in it.

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched any stuff TOP has been in as an actor because people keep saying he's a bad actor and I don't want him to disappoint me lol /awfulstan

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

19 is basically a made for tv movie. People who saw Iris or Into the Fire then saw 19 always complain about how bad it is. If you go into it knowing it's a simple sort of b-movie it's alright, and has a few nice moments (particularly for vips because it has Seungri too). Nothing stellar

[raindropreflect.livejournal.com]

ooh you should watch Into The Fire if you can find it. I saw it with a friend because of TOP, but I left so, so impacted by it. It wasn't disappointing at all!

[beanii.livejournal.com]

You should definitely watch 71 into the fire.

[izabera.livejournal.com]

I watched 19 for TOP, but I was more impressed by Seungri's acting. Possibly because he was playing a rich kid sheltered from real life and his character was the most interesting out of the 3 leads. It's not a good movie but it's watchable.

[muhnaplusmuhna.livejournal.com]

I want him to develop his acting chops before he makes the drama lead jump. Being a badass can only get you so far lol

[zombiechick815.livejournal.com]

I would LOVE to see TOP in a rom com, so this makes me a little sad. But at the same time I'm kind of happy he turned it down. Boy needs to sleep

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

mte

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Top should be in a Kimi Wo Petto remake drama.

[hopelessheartz.livejournal.com]

I couldnt see him as a ballerina though lol. Jun was perfect in that role, favorite drama.

[atelierlune.livejournal.com]

As interesting as it would have been to see him in a period piece, it's likely for the best. Get some sleep, oppa.

[pitachips.livejournal.com]

Is TOP still going to be in that Absolute Boyfriend drama? I thought the female lead from BoF was supposed to play the female lead in that drama as well? IDK

[markthatcoin.livejournal.com]

i've never heard about this drama until now but LMAO @ TOP PLAYING A HOT ROBOT

only news i could find said it was supposed to film and air in 2012 but nothing was confirmed by YG or MBC. internet says Kim Ha-neul and not Goo Hye Sun from BOF; thank god because i found her supremely irritating and part of the reason i had to give up on BOF

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

Apparently Yoo Ah In is now considered for the role. I'm very okay with that.

I too want to see TOP in some drama just looking pretty, but I want a solo album before any more acting projects. He's a rapper, YG, before he's an actor.

[uglypricetag.livejournal.com]

this. tbh top doesn't look like he's having fun onstage lately but he won't be the one suggesting a disbandment based on his personality

[koala-d.livejournal.com]

that's interesting
I was just reading an old interview where he talked about the type of roles he takes, etc.
I worded that poorly but I am tired

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

lol at people complaining about Taehee's acting. TOP is much worse.

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Oh good. It doesn't seem like a good role for him.
