    Article: Song Hye Gyo, Jun Ji Hyun paid in the 200 million won range per drama episode... "top pay in the industry"

    1. [+1,613, -63] Song Hye Gyo's acting skills ㅋㅋㅋ it's like she's reading out of a textbook


    2. [+686, -3] Enough is enough, start casting some other actors. There are tons without jobs right now.


    3. [+445, -18] That's crazy. They make enough with one episode that others can barely make after working 20 years for ㅋ


    4. [+412, -7] What a waste of money


    5. [+418, -24] Song Hye Gyo's acting is just... sigh...


    6. [+320, -8] Song Hye Gyo never tries anything new, never shows any transformation. Always~~~ in the same spot. Never wants to do anything crazy with her facial expressions or any action scenes... even her lines are just reading out of a textbook. I don't get why people still cast her. She's the biggest bubble there is in the industry.


    7. [+268, -13] At least Jun Ji Hyun deserves it because her role is physically difficult with all the running around the mountains and all, which I'm sure comes with its own injuries... but Song Hye Gyo? Always with the red lipstick, always with the same arrogant facial expressions... what does she do to deserve 200 million won an episode?


    8. [+192, -2] Celebrities are paid way too much. I'd rather they cut back and pay the supporting casts and extras a bit more.


    9. [+160, -2] If you're going to pay out that much for the role, couldn't you at least consider the viewers more and get someone who can actually act...?


    10. [+153, -8] Song Hye Gyo is getting older but she still only picks dramas with love stories with younger men. Enough with the love stories... I can't stand her slurred pronunciations.


    11. [+124, -5] All Song Hye Gyo knows how to do is look at the camera with teary eyes. She refuses to use any other facial muscle when she speaks. She looks like she's spacing off while moving her lips. Is it because she's scared of wrinkles or what? How is she being paid 200 million won for the same acting every time?


    12. [+102, -0] Too expensive. These dramas will still be good even if you replace them with other actresses. It's not necessary to pay out that much for them...


    13. [+103, -2] I don't get why Song Hye Gyo is still considered top class when all she does is melodramas. Her characters are always the same, her acting's always the same... she should think of her age and try to give herself an acting transformation by trying a different genre. Enough with all this love crap...


    14. [+87, -0] Even 20 million won an episode would be a lot, this is crazy


    15. [+33, -1] Don't watch their dramas. You guys do realize that this will all come down to the consumers in the end? All the marketing expenses, equipment... casting pay is all a part of that.

    Changed the title of the thread from “Jun Ji Hyun and Song Hye Gyo are two of the top paid actresses per drama episode” to “[NB] Jun Ji Hyun and Song Hye Gyo are two of the top paid actresses per drama episode”.

    And the thing is both their dramas aren’t doing well. The Red Sleeve, Kings Affection, The young lady and gentleman and Work Later Drink Now are the rave.


    Hopefully, Jun Ji Hyun picks a better drama next time. Jirisan is just plain boring, with horrible cgi. Great actors though but why lol.

    Quote from Serendipity2000

    I thought song hye ko was well loved and thats why she's popular in the first place... :watt:


    Ikw few comments on a kforum won't change anything but what's with this sudden shift in opinions. The upvote ratio is scary... :eyes:

    She is liked for her visuals more than her acting


    Post the divorce with Song Joong-ki she has a few more unfavourable opinions as well

    For Song Hye Kyo i have only watched her old dramas such as autumn in my heart, all in, full house etc when i was kid now i am just not interested in her dramas now people were so into descendants of the sun but for me it was booooriiing and Song Joong Ki is not that handsome :sketchyk: (i watch dramas for the hot gyus :pepe-peek: )

    for Jun Ji Hyun idk if I have watched anything from her I dont remember if i have watched my sassy girl or not seems like i have watched but then again i dont remember anything, but I will see her in kingdom upcoming season


    overall, dont care how much they are paid but hopefully directors give opportunities to some new and underrated actresses more

    I agree lol,,, I never understood why Song Hye Gyo is considered a top actress. She might be a veteran, but it's true that her acting is always the same, same roles, same facial expression, same vibe. It's always boring and I never can finish one of her dramas,,, Even idols with not much experience are better.

    Personally, I usually watch actors and actress who have warmer feelings with their eyes. But top rated actors and actresses are usually boring in kdrama, with little expression on their faces. Jun Ji hyun is an excellent actress. They can't drag her. I always had fun watching every scene in Jihyun's drama. Because she carries the show by herself with her body language and facial expressions. Song Hye Kyo is a good actress but she's a bit cold and doesn't use much facial expressions. This is reflected in her performance as well. I think netizens are definitely dragging SHK Because her private life is complicated. Her acting doesn't appeal to me either, but I wouldn't say she's bad acting. She just needs to stop making romantic dramas, that's a fair criticism really.
