Essay

Life, love and passion are their source of strength and vitality

Trapped into a corner and unable to find a hiding place for Seung-nyang, Ta-hwan quickly fills his tub with rose petals.  With no other option, she hides in the tub, while he pretends to be bathing.  Running out of air and at the point of unconsciousness, Ta-hwan plunges down, placing his mouth on hers and passes air to Seung-nyang. On the brink of dying, her limp body receives a life-giving kiss. He has breathed life into her, by sharing himself with her.

One scene that clearly stands out when talking about the TaNyang Couple is the CPR Kiss. This kiss represents the rejuvenating nature of their relationship. This is compounded by the ambiance of the scenery, and the warm red color of the petals that surrounds them. The scene hinted at the fact that although they face situations filled with danger, Ta-hwan’s warmth and passionate love will bring Seung-nyang back to life. 

Likewise, when Ta-hwan thought Seung-nyang was dead, he regressed into a shell of a man. He had quit living and developed aphasia, thereby rendering him unable to speak.  Yet when he saw her again, Ta-hwan's speech immediately returned. He began to live again... Seung-nyang's mere presence brought him back to life. 

There is a restorative force between these two which strengthens them.  Despite the fact that their present environment is designed to break them, the TaNyang Couple finds solace in each other by building each other up. Their support extends farther than companionship, or merely catching the other when they fall. They are the salve for the other's wound. Instead of being the one to pull the other out of the darkness, they are each other’s light source in the dark place they must call home.

Watching these two, it is clear to us that they are fated to be together. Despite the fact that SeungNyang delayed her destiny as a tribute and avoided going to Yuan, the thread of fate that binds them together brought him to her, instead of she to him. There is an intense push and pull between them and we cannot deny how much they care for each other. They do not limit it to words, but show it through action. Even during the times when SeungNyang knows she is supposed to hate him, she cannot rationalize her heart. Even when she is determined to leave him, the literal act of walking away brings tears to her eyes. Correspondingly, TaHwan cannot turn away from her. Even when pushed away, he remained by her side, supporting, protecting, and loving her. Ready to give everything dear to him up for her, his love shines though. They have a bond that cannot be broken no matter how many obstacles have been thrown their way. Their hearts gravitate towards each other.  Despite the forces against them, they are inseparable. With each trial they endured together, their bond only became stronger, to the extent that they now will not let go of each other’s hand.

TaHwan is hers...  and Seung-nyang is his.

[Current Thailand Drama 2014] Love Sick The Series

Title: Love Sick The Series (รักวุ่น วัยรุ่นแสบ)
Airing Time: Every Sunday, 8.50 PM (Thai time)
Producer: MR. BIG PICTURE CO.,LTD.
Director: ราชิต กุศลคูณสิริ ( Rachyd Kusolkulsiri)

Synopsis (+personal thoughts ^^)
This series is based on the famous online Thai BL novel "LOVE SICK : The Chaotic Lives of Blue Shorts Guys" by INDRYTIMES (twitter: @hedshew go say thanks to her for this phenomenal story!), which follows two 17 years old high school boys who eventually fall in love after a deal brought them closer together.
Phun has a girlfriend (Aim) but his father wants him to date his friend's daughter. Phun's little sister, Pang, is obsessed with boys' love.
Phun needs to convince Pang that he has a boyfriend so that she can help talk their father around the idea of dating his friend's daughter.
So he asked Noh to become his fake boyfriend in exchange for helping Noh raising fund for his Music Club.

Although the major storyline here is about Phun & Noh, the series also deals with eclectic teen's issues such as peer pressure, rich vs poor, rivalry, relationships, gangsterism etc. 

Sounds similar to Hormones The Series? Nope, not entirely. Love Sick The Series has its own charm & strong points.
Episode 1 could be a bit lacklustre, but give it a chance and you'll find yourself addicted to it by Episode 2.
To date (4th Aug), there are 5 episodes already out & this series has given me diabetes from its too sweet scenes!!!!

Ending Quotes
Episode 1
- No quote -

Episode 2
If you can't avoid a situation, then welcome the things that you must face with open arms.

Episode 3
A special bond is stronger than love.

Episode 4
A "best friend" is someone who will love you the day you forget to love yourself.

Episode 5
Sometimes there might be "obstacles", but at least we get a chance to "try".

Episode 6
A bond is like a fine thread that we can only see it... once it has been ripped apart.

Episode 7
Some people enter your life for only a short period of time, but they can be great influences for the rest of your life.

Episode 8
Even though the person you loved and you didn't end up together, be happy with the fact that they were once a part of your life.

Episode 9
It barely takes any time to fall in love, so why is it a complete torture when it's time we need to say goodbye?

Episode 10
No matter how tightly you hold someone... you still need to let go when the time comes.

Episode 11
We are tormented because love goes on, not because it goes away.

Rain as Hyun Wook 
image
English Translation (Credits to Stephe @ cloudusa.wordpress.com / CloudUSA.org)
Lee HyunWook, 32 years old, is the composer, producer, and the CEO of an entertainment agency.

He was called a genius composer and a hit song-maker with the Midas touch, and that’s in the past now. He’s currently out of work. He has no problems living and feeding himself without working because of all the royalties from his hit songs. He spends his days walking with his beloved dog and leading a free and quiet life.

However, he’s had a terrible breakdown not only of body but of mind, the aftereffects of an accident three years ago.

He has suffered from the “earworm syndrome” [when piece of music continually repeats through a person's mind after it is no longer playing], suffered psychological damage (wounds), and has completely lost his musical ability.

A miraculous incident happens, he thinks, when he gets a phone call from SeNa, his dead girlfriend SoEun’s younger sister.

He thinks that he will simply meet SeNa and secretly act as her Daddy-Long-Legs (her helper and benefactor from afar without her knowing it, as in the 2005 Korean movie).

However, he senses her musical genius and steps back into the musical world in order to bring her musical ability out.



Krystal as Yoon Se-na 
image
English Translation (Credits to Stephe @ cloudusa.wordpress.com / CloudUSA.org)
Yoon SeNa, 25 years old, a would-be composer. She has no parents, siblings, property, or educational background. It’s been two years since she came to Seoul. When she is exhausted by the work she does for a living and when she cries because her friend abuses her, she misses her older sister and her older sister’s music even more.

She doesn’t realize that she is a musical genius with perfect pitch and musical sensibility.

She meets HyunWook, and that opens her eyes so that she can see her talents in music.

At a point, she begins to feel a thrill for the first time in her life, without knowing that he (HyunWook) was her dead sister’s lover.

STORY CONCEPT
[In this story], a man and a woman are both injured (hurt) by a person’s death. They eat meals, sleep, and sometimes smile like they used to in the past, but the one thing that’s changed is that even happy moments they might feel each day are tinged with misery. These two people extend hands to each other and say, “Stop being tormented, it was not your fault. So, you can be happy now.”Through this story, two people fall in love again by letting wounds heal and opening their hearts (minds). When faced with a lot of death in life, humaneness and love is what comforts us and gives us the strength to get back on our feet, after all. We would like to present a heartwarming and ordinary story. (Credits to Stephe @ cloudusa.wordpress.com / CloudUSA.org)

image
A peculiar mermaid attempts to become a human in just 100 days to meet the human man she loves. Surplus Princess is a story about a mermaid who lives as a human in a world where unemployed people are not treated as people. For the story of a mermaid learning to live in the human world, Jo Bo Ah, On Ju Wan, Song Jae Lim, Nam Joo Hyuk, Kim Min Gyo, and Kim Seul Gi have been confirmed as the new cast.


image MAIN CAST image

image
Jo Bo Ah was cast as the mermaid princess, Hani, who longs to become human and gets into several comical situations during the process.
image
Oh Ju Wan will play Hyun Myung, an applicant preparing for employment. Rather than the arts or passion, Hyun Myung is a realist who puts importance in living day by day. He is expected to have a romantic relationship with Hani.
image
Song Jae Lim, Jo Bo Ah, On Ju Wan, Nam Joo Hyuk


Song Jae Lim will play a narcistic and pretentious man. As he′s mostly been shown as a cold and stiff antagonist on both the big and small screens, Song Jae Lim′s new transformation is being anticipated.

image


The drama will follow the three of them as they suffer the daily grind and the hardships of the job search, with romance and fantasy to add a little whimsy to the proceedings.

Not a fan of K-pop?

Is there anyone here who is not a fan of K-pop? 

I'm not sure how weird this is on the weird scale, and I know this is a K-pop forum, but just curious because I actually don't even know what K-pop is. You can ask me anything about it and I will be clueless. I actually just made an account because of how active this forum was and I read something I felt like responding to. 


Drama Side Story

$

Not like West Side Story. :P

What I mean is that I want to discuss side stories in drama. Most shows with try to juggle a side story with a main story and that doesn't really work out. Some side stories end up being better than the main story and that makes me wonder if maybe the main story was just a cover for the side story. Some side stories end up becoming the main stories down the line and they become awful messes. What are your observations for side stories?

I just rewatched The Secret Lovers, so I'll start with that.

The Secret Lovers - The main story is about Seo Yeongji, who wants to become a famous children's author while working odd jobs and Gim Junu, who is a yes man from a rich family. The side story is about Jeong Ami, who is a high-profile plastic surgeon who also has problems overcompensating due to her past and Choe Dogyeong, who wants to become rich at almost any cost. As the series progresses, we see that Junu is a very weak character and Yeongji also falters a lot. Choe Dogyeong is the most dynamic character and he gradually becomes a better person.

It makes me wonder if Dogyeong's story was the preferred story while the series was picked up because of the light-hearted Yeongji pitch. Junu just keeps going back and forth the entire series, even to the very end. Dogyeong becomes a selfless person and his story is the one that comes closer to a real resolution.


Pasta - The main story is about Seo Yugyeong, an aspiring chef and Choe Hyeonuk, a master chef who takes out his frustration of being betrayed on women working in his kitchen. There are multiple side stories, but they are handled as part of the main story and they do not include major conflict or complications. There is a side story that involves the establishment of a second restaurant that is left alone for the most part until the end. The side story is not important because it does not have a major effect on the main story.

I like how this one was handled. We see that the individuals in the series are people; the chefs Choe Hyeonuk brings in are maybe less than others, but they are still people. It doesn't try too hard to put secondary characters against the main two characters. It seems like these exchanges just happen. It's realistic.


History of the Salaryman - The main story is about Yu Bang, who is attempting to become a respectable salaryman by first completing a mission given to him by his company and Baek Yeochi, who is an heiress discontent with her grandfather. The side story mainly involves Choe Hangu, who is a high ranking officer at his company that tries to steal a secret product for unknown reasons and Cha Uhui, who is a pharmaceutical engineer for the company that creates the medicine.

I didn't like how the side story was handled. It doesn't really have any place in the series when it comes to Hangu and Uhui getting together. He almost kills her in order to steal the medicine and escape. I always use this as an example of "he's too pretty, so he can't be a bad guy." The main story was also gimped because of this. Without this awful side story, this would have made an excellent series.



I'm really tired now so I'll add more later. Please feel free to add your own and comment on what I have laid out.

is noted not only for his good looks and acting abilities in the Korean drama scene, but he also brings a distinguished family history.  He is the grandson of Kim Du-han, a well-known right wing politician, and the great grandson of General Kim Jwa-jin, a famous Korean Independence Movement leader.  His mother Kim Eul Dong is a talented actress, recently rejuvenating her career with Mapado (2005) and Golden Era of Daughter-in-Law (KBS, 2007).

Song Il Kook graduated from the Cheongju  University, majoring in Performing Arts, although he admits that he was more interested in art and design at the time.  His started  acting in Korean dramas in 1998 at the age of 27, and was considered a “late bloomer.”  He played many  small roles, populating daily and morning dramas, New Year's specials through the early 2000s.  His first significant role was in the action drama Bodyguard (KBS, 2003), playing a slightly off-kilter villain. Song's breakthrough, however, came from two roles in particular: Jang Soo in the weekend drama Terms of Endearment (KBS, 2004), and his impressive turn as Yeom Jang in Emperor of the Sea (KBS, 2005). In those two dramas, Song showed both sides of the acting spectrum: the charming everyday man and the most charismatic villain in the last few years.

Song attained mega star status when he was cast in Jumong (MBC, 2006), which brought him the prestigious Daesang Award in 2006. Jumong is one of the most successful Korean TV dramas of all time, capturing an average of 40% viewership, and staying on the number one chart for 40 consecutive weeks. Jumong continues to this day to be popular all over the world, in countries like the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, China, Iran, Turkey, and Iraq.  Jumong’s legacy was extended to the 2009 drama Kingdom of the Wind, where Song played Muhyul, grandson of Jumong.  Kingdom of the Wind was entered as a foreign in the 2009 International Film Festival.   He also won the KBS Best Actor 2009 award for this role.

Song typically takes on physically challenging roles that display his outstanding skills in sword-fighting, archery, martial arts and horsemanship.   Additionally, his talent as a sketch artist was captured in his roles as Yeom Jang  (Emperor of the Sea) and Muhyul (Kingdom of the Winds). He is a vice-president of the Korean Triathlon Confederation and participated in the 2008 Seoul International Triathlon, 2009 and 2010. In April 2008, Song carried the Olympic torch through Seoul.  

Besides acting, Song has modeled professionally, both on the runway and in print, and won the 2009 Asian Model Award.

On March 15, 2008, Song married a Busan High Court Judge (identified only by her family name "Jung") in a private traditional Korean wedding away from the media spotlight at the Sheraton Walkerhill Hotel in Seoul.  Because of her sensitive position as a legal counsel, she remains out of the media spotlight.

In 2009, the State of Hawaii honored him by designating March 21 as Song Il Kook day when he headlined 4803023242_5998626110_o.jpg a fan meeting in Honolulu.  An exclusive hibiscus flower, created by a fan, was named, GeNtLe Song 4743053813_6be704690e_o.jpg , in his honor.  

As a result of his strong fan support in Hawaii, he insisted that the first episode of his 2010 drama, A Man Called God, be filmed in Hawaii.  Dramatic action scenes shot against the island’s natural beauty had never before been seen in Korean dramas.  In addition, Song prepared for his role as Michael King in this drama for 8 months by physically working out and losing over 30 lbs.  His new look was a stunning change from Jumong and Muhyul.

He is currently playing the dual lead roles in a stage play “I am You” in Seoul from July 27 – August 22, 2010.  It is the first stage play he has ever done, and it was especially challenging because he plays the role of a historic hero, Ahn Joong Geun, and his son, Ahn Joong Saeng, whose life is miserable for being kept in the shadow of his heroic father. His dedication and hard work is being rewarded with numerous positive reviews, sold-out shows, and standing ovations.  Song Il Kook has said his ambition is to expand his experiences in theater by taking on a variety of roles, the more difficult the better.  He especially values working and learning from other experiences thespians.  In his personal life, he has said he wants to be a good father, good husband, and strive to be a man true to his words.
