[+291, -23] It's baffling that he's sitting here crying like this after being paid top of the top just because he "worked hard" and didn't do well.. what an amateur. Imagine if people cried like this in the corporate world. You'll be called stupid. The economy may be rough, but there are movies still hitting their targets. The only people who should be allowed to cry right now are the investors who lost money on this, not you who got paid your guarantee and everything.

[+174, -9] Failing to relate because he still made his money. And to fail even after so much fame... I'd have more sympathy if a no name actor was crying like this...

[+118, -2] 80% of production expenses are actor salaries, no? ㅋㅋ

[+112, -65] At least he's still out there taking on work without being picky of genre unlike Won Bin who's just been doing CFs

- [+10, -0] At least Won Bin hasn't led movies to complete flops like this

- [+21, -2] What's with the random Won Bin hate?

[+16, -1] I'd say he was more busy promoting his wife Katie than the movie during this promo cycle

[+8, -2] What are his Songjoongma fans going to say now? Who will they blame?

[+8, -1] Has nothing to do with a "difficult" Korean movie market. The movie's just boring and dark...

[+6, -1] For someone who makes several years' worth of someone's salary in one movie... his acting is so mid, looks are mid...

[+6, -1] Crocodile tears for someone we know got paid millions for this~

[+6, -2] Those tears better be because you feel shameful that you already got paid millions despite the movie flopping ㅋㅋ

Article: Song Joong Ki's movies flop after flop -> declining image... biggest crisis of acting career

[+544, -92] I don't like Song Joong Ki but this article is quite negative

[+389, -104] It's not like Song Joong Ki has ever guaranteed numbers. He blew up momentarily with 'Descendants of the Sun' but that doesn't make him some top Hollywood star. People need to wake up and realize that he's just a C-list celebrity, nothing more.

[+215, -25] I don't like Song Joong Ki but did he piss off the media or something? This is quite an open diss

[+34, -6] Song Joong Ki just doesn't have the charisma or acting skills to pull an entire movie on his own...

[+33, -10] I wouldn't say it's his fault, the movie's just really boring on its own

[+24, -6] He just doesn't have an eye for picking good works... and his acting's kind of cringe...

[+11, -2] His career peaked at 'Descendants of the Sun', no??

[+9, -0] His bubble's been popped, that's all;; his visuals are declining with age, he was never known for exceptional acting... and now people see his prickly personality for who he is;

[+9, -0] I'd say his career has lasted longer than it should have.. he's always got that one facial expression, looking dumb

[+9, -0] His appeal was his youthful pretty boy looks, but that doesn't work anymore now that he's older... and with recent scandals, his image to the public feels more like someone who's got a bit of a temper
