This was what he looked like when I first saw him in All About Eve. More buff and his face has more flesh then.
This is now, as Kim Do Jin in A Gentleman's Dignity. Time had passed since All About Eve and he looks leaner now. Still handsome but in a more mature way. The same piercing eyes that makes your heart flutter when looking at him.
I just can't get over him after watching every week's episodes. He leaves his fans a lasting impression that will stay till the next episode. His cute facial expressions are adorable, despite his age, which is still very much appealing to all ages.
I read that his fans were very generous and brought food to the filming set of his current drama. Since this is Jang Dong Gun's comeback in small screen they were very supportive to him.

The food truck had traditional Korean meal consisting of rice, soup, and several side dishes,as well as desserts such as ice cream and nuts.

“A Gentleman’s Dignity” features Jang Dong Gun, Kim Ha Neul, Kim Soo Ro, Kim Min Jong, and Lee Jong Hyuk and airs every Saturdays and Sundays at 9:50pm KST on SBS.
Fans are really great.
Another news that caught my attention was that Jang Dong Gun is a great endorser. He does not have to promote the things he wear or eat, people watching him will just wear or buy the things they saw JDG have in the drama.

If Jang Dong Gun Wears or Eats it on “A Gentleman’s Dignity” it Will Sell!

Jang Dong Gun is a walking advertisement because of the character “Kim Do Jin” on the SBS drama “A Gentleman’s Dignity.” It appears that anything he wears or eats is selling out online. Even the car that he drives on the show or the pins that he wears comes up as search engine terms.
For example, Jang Dong Gun appeared on the TV series with a clothing pin that is worth more than $1,000. The pin is currently sold out.
On the show Jang Dong Gun is always eating vitamins with water. Viewers of the show are asking internet vitamin shops where they can purchase the vitamins.
One pharmaceutical representative stated, “We get a lot of questions about the vitamins that Jang Dong Gun consumes on the show. We get questions from people in South Korea and overseas. We can’t tell you exactly how many of the vitamins are being sold. But, even though the product is pretty old, we are getting many offers for advertisements.”
Surely the companies of these products are very happy.
But who is Jang Dong Gun?
I decided to post his profile here. Although I will say beforehand that he is a married man already, [sigh] to those who had missed this information.
profile:
Jang Dong-gun (born March 7, 1972) is a top South Korean actor best known for appearing in hit films such as Friend (2001) and Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War (2004).
Early life
Spending his childhood in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, he later went on to the Korea National University of Arts School of Drama, dropping out before obtaining a degree.[1]
Personal life
The famously private actor surprised the country in November 2009 when he went public with his two-year romance with Ko So-young.[24][25] Since co-starring together in the 1999 film Love Wind Love Song, rumors about Jang and Ko had spread several times in the past, but both had consistently denied them. The announcement immediately sparked speculation of an impending marriage although it wasn't until March 2010 that Jang officially told his fans at a fan meeting that he would be marrying Ko in May.[26] After months of media frenzy leading up to their nuptials,[27][28][29][30] the two tied the knot on May 2, 2010 in an extravagant wedding ceremony at Seoul's Shilla Hotel which was attended by their A-list celebrity friends, swarms of reporters and fans from around the world.[31][32][33]
Jang is a practicing Buddhist, having first explored Buddhist writings while hospitalized in high school, after undergoing chest surgery.[38]
A Gentleman's Dignity is a good choice for a comeback. Jang Dong Gun definitely nailed it. His presence in the small screen made a difference to all viewers every week. A fact that is noted through the growing viewers of the drama every week. Jang Dong Gun plus a great cast and a beautiful story is already a winner.
