#Choi hyun-seok

[vintagelemonade]

I don't know how popular Culinary Class Wars is on Tumblr, but did anyone else notice that chef Choi Hyun-seok has the Hannibal haircut?

Chef Choi Hyun-seok gets eliminated in the semi-finals but he comes back to watch the finals with the other contestants and he looks like this:

Plus, Chef Choi Hyun-seok also specializes in Italian cuisine. So, you know, COINCIDENCE??? I THINK NOT

I am so glad the new kdramas are bringing back the specific brand of loser men. You know which brand I'm talking about. The Ahn "min min" Minhyuk brand of loser men and I'm loving it. The "I worship this goddess and I'm so in love with her and I can't believe I get to love her. Oh my gods I love her so much" brand of loser men. And we're being fed so well with lovely runner, love next door, no gain no love, my demon, Cinderella at 2am, Hierarchy, Midnight Romance in Hagwon, doctor slump, Queen of tears, welcome to samdal-ri and even good partner (yes it's one sided but the dedication and yuri's couple too).

We need more fictional loser men who worship women to satiate our eldest independent daughter desires.

the loserism is high with these mfs

Time travel excellency in k-dramas.

(🎞️ : lovely runner, twinkling watermelon, a time called you, blue birthday, marry my husband, 18 again)

[sunset-sprinkles]

The theme of dual perspectives in modern k-dramas :

The idea of presenting stories from the point of views of both the male and the female protagonist sounds refreshing it also adds a layer of depth to understanding the dynamics of their relationships.

"Memories are unstable because some memories are only remembered by one person" - Serendipity's Embrace (2024)

This means that hidden feelings always make way for difference in povs. One might assume what the other feels , but in reality the povs always add a flavour to it. It brilliantly highlights the fact that one situation cannot be judged from the third person's perspective unless we hear both the sides of the same story.

The famous episode 2 of Lovely runner that presents with the pov of Sun-jae that he had always and always been in love with Sol just changes the way we see their love story. And the fact that writers have been continuously coming up with this theme screams that it's indeed the best when it comes to creating a tapestry of emotions and memories.

"Memories don't disappear, they're all smeared into one's soul" - Lovely Runner (2024)

The fact that all these four dramas have been not just plainly romcoms but also presents a source of "interest" in the characters who have known each other for a long time. Cause true feelings just grow and don't dissapear after some moments of staying away from each other.

“Everyone has unforgettable memories from a certain year of their life. They cherish those memories so much that it lasts a lifetime.” - Our Beloved Summer (2022)

All these stories have used "memory" as a tool for story telling. The use of memory as a narrative tool emphasizes the impact of time on relationships. The past isn’t just something that happened; it’s something that continues to live within the characters, influencing their decisions and emotions in the present.

The episode 4 ending of Love next door (2024) symbolizes this same idea when they show the transition from "past perfect -> present perfect continuous"

"Your memories don't mean anything. They are all in the past" - Love Next Door (2024)

By intertwining their perspectives with memories, the writer crafts a narrative that resonates with viewers on a personal level, reminding us of our own cherished or even painful memories and how they’ve shaped our lives. It’s a testament to the idea that we are all, in some way, a product of our past, and that understanding another person often means understanding their history as well.

Here , "First love" also eventually becomes a plot device for exploration. It becomes not just a memory but a recurring theme that influences the characters' actions and decisions. The beauty of exploring first love through two different perspectives is that it allows the audience to see how the same moments can be cherished, misinterpreted, or even forgotten by the two individuals involved. What might have been a fleeting moment for one character could be a defining memory for the other.

"I know all of seunghyo’s firsts: the first day he drank banana milk, the first day he started swimming, the first day he surpassed my height. the only thing I didn’t know was his first love” - Seukryu in Love next door (2024)

[We all know who his first love is though haha]

Therefore,first love, in these dramas, often serves as a touchstone for the characters' development. It’s something they return to, either consciously or subconsciously, as they navigate their current relationships.

Hellbound (Season 2)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Hellbound (Season 2, 2024, South Korea)

Director: Yeon Sang Ho

Writer: Yeon Sang Ho & Choi Gyu Seok (based on their own webtoon)

Mini-review:

I feel like I'm one of the few people who loved the first season of Hellbound. It used an original and terrifying concept to showcase a fascinating exploration of themes like religious fanaticism, sectarianism and media manipulation. And this second (and final?) season delivers the goods once again. Yeon Sang Ho continues to be a master director of action scenes, plus the performances he gets from this cast are simply superb. On top of that, the CGI is much better than it was in the first one; I'm glad they made an effort to improve on that. I'm sure many people will stay mad at the show for refusing to give clear answers until the very end, but I think that makes the viewer feel the same chaos as the characters. If this is really the end, I have to say I really enjoyed what this dark fantasy had to offer.

"Shipped the actors but not the characters"

I actually shipped the characters in this case as well

[justanotherfangirluwu]

since there’s been a kdrama drought these years, I’ve went back and watched some old dramas AND THEY ARE AMAZING GEMS.

Under the Queen’s Umbrella

This is a story about a mother’s love and how it can take different shapes and forms, though they don’t always necessarily put the child’s best interest at heart. In a place where all the princes and their mothers fight for the title of Crown Prince, the Queen only fights to protect her sons and their loved ones. Think Sky Castle but set in the Joseon era.

The metaphorical use of the Umbrella symbolizes the Queens protection and though she may get hurt, she would never allow her son’s to get hurt.

5 star review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Flower Crew: Joseons Marriage Agency

The message of the story is that no matter who you are or where you’re from, you deserve happiness. When you find the one you love, the weight on your shoulder eases because you now have another shoulder to lean on and to share the burden.

A common blacksmith is kidnapped on the day of his wedding to become the next king of Jose-on. He recruits the help of the Flower Crew to make the lowly status girl a noble lady to be eligible for the Queen’s selection. New feelings and evil intentions threaten lives and the characters’ happiness.

5 star rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mr. Queen

A comedic drama that indiscreetly tells the audience that love is limitless - it can transcend time and it is fluid.

A modern male chef is “saved” by being trapped inside a Queen’s body in the Joseon era. He tries to return but in the process changes some events to his modern life and the Queen’s for the better.

5 star rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I simply adore this Choi Hyun Wook interview, it shows he had lots of thoughts on soo ho's invisible emotions and his relationship with beom seok.

Soo Ho actually cares about Beom Seok until the end and I'm wallowing in pain.

Q. While acting Soo Ho, what was the most difficult part ?

"Choi Hyun Wook : His approach/process of how he handles beom seok. I thought there was a very thin line where it could be interpreted like soo ho discriminate beom seok. From beom seok point of view, there's possiblity of misunderstanding because he might not have seen soo ho's sincerity, but I wished to show the side of soo ho who tried to understand his friend to not lose him. I could clearly understand soo ho's emotions as he tried to hold into beom seok to not lose him."

Q. The scene where we could see those emotions the most was when he apologized to beom seok.

"Choi Hyun Wook: i cried because of this scene. Even when reading the script i cried a lot. Despite the fact that beom seok hurt si eun, it was an apology that showed he couldn't let go of any string until the end, seeing beom seok stray hurt my heart a lot. Soo ho calls beom seok's name often. Even when beom seok cut the line [in the cafeteria he says "get in line, beom seok"], in the beginning there was no line of him calling beom seok's name. But while staring into (Hong) Kyung hyung's eyes, I saw him as beom seok, and that's how I came to say him name. Whether it love/hate or affection, I couldn't help feeling this foreign emotion from soo ho. That's how i came to call beom seok name a lot."

Q. How was it working with actors Park Ji Hoon and Hong Kyung.

"Choi Hyun Wook: I really liked it. While working with them, they dragged a lot of emotions out of me, and it became really intense. We were sincere to each other while filming and worked hard. The process of seeing them succeeding at acting what they thoroughly prepared seemed firm. And after the drama was released, I was in admiration as i could see the scenes where i was absent on the set, coming out of the screen. (Hong) Kyung hyung doesn't show a lot of changes in his expression, but he managed to make us feel all his past through the way he expressed them. He's a delicate actor. It was the first time I had the experience of acting unconsciously while working with Kyung-i hyung. I fell into that person so much. Kyung-i hyung have that charm."
