The drama started airing on JTBC in September, it’s called ‘My Youth’
Song Joongki, who plays the main character Seon Woo Hae, is 35 y’o in the drama. His real age is 40
[+324] We really need to start having age-appropriate roles and acting for him [+72] Wow… Chun Woohee and Song Joongki are supposed to have the same age here but seriously it’s so… Hmm… I really feel the age gap
[+599] Song Joongki’s looks have declined rapidly from taking care of his child… He kind of looks like a new mom
[+507] Because his looks is hugely influenced by his youthful energy, he’s starting to look a bit awkward as he ages. He doesn’t have the aura of the usual middle-aged people to play roles appropriate for his age, but he can’t continue to play roles meant for 20s or 30s because he doesn’t have the youthful energy to do the roles anymore..
– Isn’t it time for Song Joongki to start playing ajussi roles too? Playing youthful roles like that are a bit… New moms can now be considered his nunas…Hmm
1. I don’t think it’s that bad, I’m enjoying his drama
2. But Song Joongki still has a baby face considering his age… He totally can be passed off as a 35 y’o, however, I do think that his image of a married man + a father is so cemented now, so the general public is getting more critical of him
3. I feel like it’s fine for a 40 y’o to play a 35 y’o
4. I don’t think he looks that awkward
5. It’s because his skin is so thin, that his undereye is starting to develop wrinkles. He doesn’t seem to have a baby face anymore. The fact that he’s supposed to be the same age as the female lead accentuates the difference even more
6. But from one moment, he really started to look old
7. You can really see his eye folds under his eyes in that specific screenshot, but he looks fine in teh rest of the video
8. But is 35 and 40 really this different? Looking at the people who are 35 around me, I don’t think Song Joongki is that different
9. I really enjoy the drama though…
