Has anyone been watching Dream High 2 with Jiyeon?? I've been suffering through some really bad subs because I need to see more Jiyeon as Rian.
It's funny that Jiyeon's character Rian (or LeeAnn) is "supposed" to be the bitch of the series, but since the beginning I've liked her more than the main character.
She's the most interesting character as well, like a puzzle you need to figure out. The main character does stupid things and then is expected to get the viewers' sympathy simply because she's a ditzy cutesy thing. But it's not working. I find it very difficult to root for the main character because most of her problems have been caused by herself and it's like we're expected to give her some kind of pity party. The thing is, the main character acts innocent but actually does pretty bitchy things at times behind people's backs.... Whereas Rian is a bitch to people's faces, and is secretly warm-hearted (she is obviously very selective about whom she cares about, but she does care). The latter is more intriguing D:
About Jiyeon's acting, she's definitely taking advantage of body language that she's known for from before anyway (dino expressions), and sometimes I can't tell if her character is genuinely upset or just acting, but I think that's because Korean drama acting is so over-the-top and there's need to be humorous in a... musical comedy?... But the more I've watched, the more I think of Rian as Rian instead of Jiyeon as Rian, and it's almost a mindfuck to see the cast posing happily together. So she must be doing something right.
GODDAMNIT IF SHE ISN'T CUTE AS FUCK IN THIS SHOW THOUGH. And I love that she's had a few chances to sing, because I find it's rare to hear her true voice (because T-ara songs have such edited, layered vocals). Her voice is so precious to me haha.
ANYWAY more oldie but goodie pics, somehow Jiyeon is adorable in all these pics *squee*
lol so random
