Song Joong Ki slayed it!

so it's in this episode the scene where SJK's character (current King) confronted the former King (his own father). the most iconic scene of his short 4 episode appearance in this drama i believe, because it seemed to have been commented/referred to a lot just to praise his acting (where all the veterans gathered).well they are no wrong. SJK is the kind of actor who i consider having generally calm eyes all around, so when he has to express difficult scene, he can't do it with his eyes only but his entire facial muscle has to move in the same way. which makes it more difficult i guess, compared to other actors with naturally deep, expressive eyes like Yoo Seung Ho.he's definitely smart to pick up this role because having left a great impression off it, it became a sure stepping stone for him to become ML in The Innocent Man, a complex melodrama of 20 episodes. in fact i am smart too because my first viewing experience of his acting was that drama which definitely gave me a big shock factor because i didn't know he's that good, which gave me a solid, more unbiased appreciation of his acting talent rather than coming from this reputation of a big Hallyu star following the major success of DOTS.he's one of the k-actors so far whose multiples of main projects are very high on my rewatch list. a true gem who's easy on the eyes too, LOL.
