Renwa Jun 07 2026 12:26 am Thrilled to find you Hong Jong Chan as director of Teach You A Lesson yet another important vibrant drama. I am a HUGE fan of your work: Mr.Plankton, Juvenile Justice, Her Private Life and Live Up to your Name. Somehow I seem to write extensive appreciative reviews for your works not initially knowing they were yours. You certainly bring out the best in your actors and narratives. With so much appreciation for the performances and honesty & authenticity of the scripts.

Liquette marie pierre Dec 09 2024 8:17 am Thank You so much gof direction " Mr Plankton "..

Selim Atakan Dec 07 2024 3:34 pm Congratulations for Mr. Plankton. A wonderful script, awesome characters and brilliant acting. The second actor that I have previously seen in “It’s Okay Not To be Okay” was really great. I will look for your other works. My best

Amanda Dec 06 2024 5:26 am Love your work for Mr Plankton! Your castings are really brilliant. The cinematic aspect, the symbolism, the chemistry, the scenes and how it works very well with the writing are mesmerizing me. Grateful that it is a 10 compact episodes. Looking forward for your next works! Thank you

Valteclir Patricio Jul 13 2023 2:17 am Hello my name is Val and I would like to know when you will give us part two of Live Up To Your Name, thank you

Renwa Jun 21 2023 6:30 pm Not sure a 2nd review will be posted. How could I not have figured out sooner your direction is in a class of it’s own….Meticulous, accurate detail of anything you touch…I’ve lived Juvenile Justice and Life so I Know! Seeing the comment on art museums as ad well accurate clinches it. How you honor your craft with such integrity. What’s next?

Renwa Jun 20 2023 10:28 am Casting & direction was powerful, balanced, smooth…very pleasurable viewing. Thank you.

lulu Jul 27 2022 12:24 am The directing for link is undeniably great. Every episode is put with so much thoughts, going slow burn with the story, but never got me bored even for a second. I kept amazed with how every mystery is unfolded. The camera work, the shot in every scene, the overall cinematography, everything is so beautiful, I can't even explain how much I adore it all.

m. steinkamp Jun 27 2022 11:23 am Dear Director Hong Jong-Chan, Her Private Life - one of the most enjoyable Netflix series -

Please collaborate again with writer Kim Hye-young and talented actors Kim Jae Wook & Park Min Young whose incredible chemistry makes all episodes equally enjoyable –

A special personal note : As a Museum Professional I wish to congratulate you for the extraordinary accurate depiction of the “workings” of a museum and staff – attention to detail absolutely perfect - a window into the behind the scenes art world rarely seen - thank you

CRN Apr 04 2022 6:33 am Direct, I salute you for such a very good drama "Juvenile Justice". The messages of the series was impactful. We would love to watch a second season of it, hoping for that!

Thank you so much, Sir! God bless.

Gruvee Feb 28 2022 4:30 pm Cant wait for your next great directing for LINK, fighting sir

Samia Radzita Hasana Mar 22 2021 11:45 am Hello, I was wondering if i can become a sidecast for any of your upcoming dramas. I am a grate actor but i am a foteigner so i guess it is not a match for a kadrama main cast. Please accept me: Samia Radzita Hasana.

Yolanda Del Castillo Jun 06 2020 4:02 pm I just finished watching Dear my friends. Excellent in every sense, the characters, the script and the direction. I have recommended it to my friends. I am Mexican, 71 years old, cancer survivor and with a few very good friends. Thank you for making such an excellent series.

Jae May 23 2019 5:29 pm I really love Her Private Life and think of it as the best drama. Thank you for making this drama and for casting Kim Jae Wook as Ryan Gold. No other actor can play Ryan to the core. I also really like how each scenes are enjoyable and fun as well as meaningful and deep. Thank you!

Nirmala Mar 16 2019 12:19 pm Annyeohaseyo(may be wrong..hheehe) dear Direactornim...im a great kdrama and kpop fan since last 10yrs n im from India.

Sarah Lemire Sep 16 2018 9:59 am Loved this show. Terrific casting for all these strong varied roles. Great camera work - not just the ordinary angles. Wonderful use of long hallways. Everything about this show was terrific. Team again with this writer and use some of these same actors you featured here - Yoo Jae-Hyung and Yum Hye-Ran were so good. But then they all were. You featured all of them so well.

Dinkey May 30 2018 6:31 am Hello, Director! I'm an avid kdrama fan all the way from the Philippines and all I can say is that Dear My Friends is the most beautiful drama I have seen so far even if I have watched it a year ago already. Good Job! Please keep up the good work!

P.S I think this can be an impossible request but can you like advertise Dear My Friends in other country? Like here in the Phils. because really this drama deserves all the love in the world <3

Gandy Oct 04 2017 9:40 am Good and touching love drama . Good job. Can't wait for your new project .

gasenadi Aug 12 2016 3:48 pm Dear My Friends is the most satisfying drama I've seen in a very long time. Everything about it was superb! Look forward to the next dramas.

Fidaa Jun 15 2016 7:00 am Good job on Dear My Friends, I almost lost all my tears crying because of the last scene of episode 6, when the halmony died, with Want to Be Free ost, and another mother and daughter playing around, it was an emotional fantastic scene, thank you and keep the good work!
