Jung Hae In's characters and his portrayals:

1. While we were sleeping - what's funny is I just remember thinking of Woo Tak as bubbly and kind. It was the first time the SML made me curious. Jung Hae In made Woo Tak very approachable and dependable, the kind of comfort friend everyone wishes to have. He also had the secret he wanted to keep from everyone else, and he handled it with the right amount of angst. Typical charming boy next door.

2. A piece of your mind - I don't think this is a mainstream drama a lot of people are familiar with, but Ha Won was a man stuck in the past. There was a gradual growth within the drama where Ha Won comes out of his shell, and the warmth and sadness was really nicely combined in his mannerisms. Typical successful inaccessible romantic hero.

3. Something in the Rain - I have serious issues with the FL in this one, she seems.. incorrigible. I felt like JHI handles the youth part of the character very well, there was a childishness to him even in the moments where he was making adult decisions. I like how he was very stable in this one from beginning to end. Tbh all the other characters were written quite inconsistently and I don't think the writers did justice to Jun hee's maturity in the ending. Typical younger male fantasy man.

4. One Spring Night - This one really put him on the map for me. Ji Ho is a flawlessly written character, but JHI's portrayal of him just adds so many layers. It's that drama that was written to make the ML seem absolutely perfect, and I have no idea what JHI tapped into to be able to play a young single father so well. His actions that came from parental instincts were so flawless and he handles the role with sensibility. Typical young man who's lived beyond his years.

5. D.P - Just, great writing, great talent and it showed that JHI can do action while maintaining the emotional aspect of the character. JHI just balanced the stubbornness and relatability very well. It was a hard subject to handle, and yet you can't finish the last episode without rooting for him . Typical sincere stubborn rebel underdog.

6. Snowdrop - god damn, this was just a lot of JHI in black and a lot of forearms. Also, a deadly drama for tragic romance lovers. but he held so much command on screen and he was balancing being ruthless and being the main decision maker in the room. Typical romantic action hero.

7. Love Next Door - a work in progress, I'm still waiting for what's unique in the character. For now, I feel like he's the breath of fresh air friend who says it like it is. But we'll have to stay tuned.

May I just express my absolute love and adoration for the way Ahn Pan Seok directs his shows?

How he creates sets that are very lived in and just sets his actors loose to just BE in them? So there's no real blocking to speak of and actions take time? Like that scene in One Spring Night where a character is waiting for extras to exit the elevator, but it closes on her as she pushes the cart in and her coworker has to push the door open button. Or the moment in The Midnight Romance in Hagwon when a character is fumbling her way through her house at night to turn on a light. Or that moment in One Spring Night where characters are talking while eating and one of them grabs tissues to wipe his mouth as he keeps up the conversation. Those aren't scripted moments, they're just actors being told to treat the set like real life. AND THEY DO. And then he does not edit those moments away in post! It creates a very atmospheric, lived in style.

And how he insists on getting scenes done in single takes with multiple cameras rolling rather than recording all character A's lines, then all of character B's lines? It just makes it feel very organic and real because the actors can really play off each other, build tension, and develop tangible chemistry that's not reliant on camera tricks. It's why they're all very explosive onscreen, regardless of the subject matter. I mean, Secret Love Affair had me rooting for adultery and sympathizing with a criminal. Because they felt real.

People bandy around the phrase "slice of life" to describe genre conventions, but Ahn Pan Seok has mastered the art of making dramas feel like actual slices of actual lives.

Sometimes it hits me how disproportionate the ratio of men and women in this country is.. and its only mildly revolting.
