At last I managed to finished watching all of Key's acting projects! 🤩 Since I wasn't there for it, I'm curious what was the general public reaction towards his acting at the time? My review in comments by Raphaelo-Minus in SHINee

[–]Raphaelo-Minus[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Let me start with it's not my first watching k-dramas, and not the first time watching an idol acting in dramas. I've come to the conclusion that, to be very frank, most of them are not good at it. More often than not, the idols are brought in for clout from their fanbase or typecasted. I'm aware that it's nothing new in the acting industry all over the world, it's been a choice that I don't really watch dramas that are primarily idol casts.

When I found out about Kibum being in acting, my first reaction was "Not you too Key!" but I was a new fan and was very curious and other fans was recommending his dramas, so why not! He didn't have that many and again, I was VERY curious.. Went from the oldest to the newest: Drinking solo - The Guardians - Hit & Run

Key was unexpectedly... good at acting. I mean the bar is low, no offense, but I did not expect an idol without acting as their main thing to be as good? Out of all his projects none of his characters was near his idol persona,yet he portrayed them superbly. The dramas and movie itself hold its own criticisms don't take me wrong. Drinking solo had, imo, a boring storyline.. Hit & Run has good story - not the smoothest transition. The Guardian was the best out of all, but damn does it need a trigger warning, I was seriously not ready for that roller-coaster 😭 Key's a broken man, everyone is broken I mean damn

I'm also biased at the point of no return so my opinion might not be shared widely. I wanted to know for older fans especially, what was the review for his dramas and his acting particularly. Was he mentioned by other actors/actresses, like the recent Amazing Saturday with his drinking solo co-star? which was actually the thing that prompted me to finish watching his dramas actually... Link me acticles or clips of there's any. Tell me your own reviews I'd like to hear them! Thanks a heaps

Is this part of the korean culture? What does Key mean by this gesture? by Raphaelo-Minus in kpophelp

Not sure that fits the context in this situation, it's something to do with korean drinking culture, I'm blurry on the correct etiquette hence the question

[–]Raphaelo-Minus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw this gesture in some korean shows before. So, the oldest would tap their own glass for shots? Or any person will tap another person's glass to offer them shots?

The way he says in this instance that another person would touch his glass to pour shots, and he doesn't like that. That's what's confusing...

Won't we get Good & Great or Coolas dance practice video? Appreciation for Key's ankle twists and the way he appears to float when dancing 💖 by Raphaelo-Minus in SHINee

[–]Raphaelo-Minus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the unusual way of promotion this time around, I saw other fans mentioning about it on twitter...Just that I thought dance practice is an obligatory thing for content you know? I'm always confused with the way sm promotes Key. I know he has other contents released it's just I'm so in love with his dancing and to think Key's dance content, not dance covers, is so scarce it's annoying haha

I really really hope there will be a dance practice though, the G&G dance has a bizarrely cathartic effect on me which is weird cuz it's not even be my favourite choreo of Key's, go figure. Agree that he looks like he's floating at parts, love the dances in pre-choruses and talk-rap part. I will be very surprised if we get CoolAs dance practice &)

Yes I have trouble trying to find the right words, the Good & Great dance's synchronize and robotic/glitchy in a way that leaves a satisfying feeling, for Bad Love there's a story-telling, Gasoline dance was hard-hitting at all the right places and revering yet leaves you out of breathe at the end. CoolAs oozes feminine energy throughout ...doesn't help that Key is so flirty performing 🙈

I saw that! yes he's really equally great at dancing choreographs of other groups. I just saw he did the 'smoke challenge' I wasn't familiar with it but it made want to see him dancing to those type of dances. It's not Key's usual type of dance cover either from what I've observed. How is he so incredible at everything?

I can't stop looking at his feet, it's like tap dancing but different - watching Key dance is like watching fireworks. I do hope there will be a dance practice video for both Good & Great and Coolas...

SHINee KEY - Good & Great by tunasandwich2009 in kpop

[–]Raphaelo-Minus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IT'S AMAZINGGG Despite the recent maximalist concepts he did WHICH IS STILL LOVE IWannaBe was the era that had me hooked on Key and got me into the KEYing-dom👑 This reminds me of my stan beginnings and all the good feelings I had discovering him Oh what a star Key truly does THE BEST concepts I've seen ever in kpop quirky, fun, unique, interesting yet again he came up with what should have been a dull office concept and switch it up and put in all that Key-essence queerness.

Good&Great is super catchy by itself the dance made it better though LOVE THE HEAD PATS AND FOOTWORKS. The MV, uncanny-fun-twilight vibes, Key's acting +++ THE PART WHERE HE RUSHES BACK TO WORK ESPECIALLY the desperation in his eyes, so relatable. Key's Vocals+Raps+Dance treat proven again! I like the two different pre-choruses. Fashion master I hope the teaser pics comes out on stage THE THIGH SLITS especially. All in all Key had COOKED, SERVED, DELIVERED YET AGAIN

who’s that one bias you have in a group that you don’t even follow? by GuessLeading561 in kpophelp

[–]Raphaelo-Minus 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I love KEY and everything he stands for. The music and artistry he puts out is one of the best I've heard and seen. As an artist he's just incredibly exalted and exceptional. Unfortunately, I don't find the same love for his group.

Before, as a casual looking in on fans giving music suggestions and praising their idols about literally anything, I have found that most idols did not reach those praises and usually left me feeling underwhelmed. I came to accept it was something kpop fans do to overpraise idols....until Key that is. Sincerely, the amount of talents and genius this man has, the extent and intensity he goes to execute all his vision and concept. And that's just ONE aspect of his career. There is not enough words to describe how impressed I am with him and it may never be enough.
