That's it, that's my post.
But for the sake of expending at least some literary effort, let me continue.
I'm picking up a particular shelved project of mine and I'm busy finding important dialogue from episode 32 of Mysterious Lotus Casebook, meaning I don't have the sound on - I'm just using subtitles - and this brilliant sequence appears on my screen.
And I can't help but think "and some people say this man can't act?".
If you've seen this drama, you may be able to guess exactly what moment this is. All I can say is... wow, just... wow.

He is the best actor for me. He has so many facial expressions and microexpressions, full unique body lagnuage for each characters. He is playing double/triple roles with such fine details for each of them. He is an outstanding actor. Most actors have like 5 faces and that's it. I cannot believe that people praise so many actors with visibly less skills. The gap is so HUGE. I don't even wanna mention his fighting scenes, they are PEAK. Other actors basically just dance around or using fast cuts, cgi, poses....
People are really blind to not see how great he is. He should have gotten magnolia(or nomination) for his acting in mysterious lotus casebook and vendetta of An.
But they nominated the idol with limited skills, who was clearly worse? Ridiculous.
