KDramas have a huge pool of talent - be it the male/female leads or supporting casts. You have to sit back and just admire the variety and talent on display in terms of looks, acting, delivery, voice, everything that an actor/actress has to offer.

And it’s natural to have multiple crushes and loves in this dramaland. I started with crushing on Hyun Bin’s Captain Ri in CLOY - who wouldn’t? He was picture perfect - brooding, charming, endearing, madly in love. He looked dashing in that army uniform ( actually I do have a weakness for men in uniform). What did I know that it was the beginning of watching extremely well written male characters. I would learn later over my journey in dramaland that 90% writers are female and no wonder they wrote such fine male characters.

Second stop was Descendants of the Sun, I didn’t think Captain Ri could be matched, but then I bumped into Captain Yoo SiJin. Many might be conflicted and think he was a snob and bit cocky, but I didn’t think so. He was confident in his own skin, he was shown to be the best in the business and he made sure everyone knew it - nothing wrong in that. I like male characters who are smug, but not condescending, who are sarcastic and have dry wit or a great sense of humour, who have an unfailing sense of duty , who are respectful to ladies and will do anything to protect their people. Yoo Sijin had all those qualities. Song Joong Ki is not your typical muscled, well built - six pack guy, but he carried off the Captain’s role with loads of charm and I loved his smirk. I loved watching him in The Sungkyunkwan Scandal (one of his best roles) and he looked so dapper in Vincenzo, but his Captain Yoo SiJin will always have a special place in my heart.

I watched Suspicious Partner with no expectations and Ji Chang Wook as Prosecutor No Jiuk blew my mind away. I maintain that Suspicious Partner is peak Ji Chang Wook - he looked his best, he acted his best. He looked so handsome, so gorgeous , so smashing in both looks! But he in his prosecutor look with those crisp white shirts, suits and those thin rimmed Gandhi round glasses - dishy as hell! His emotions were spot on - oh how I loved his outbursts! I loved when he pined for his lady love and no one does angst as well as he does (nope this is not open for debate). To top it off his chemistry with Nam JiHyun was off the charts - a post one day for these two. My favourite couple in dramaland.

For the next few months - I watched many dramas, liked few more - didn’t really swoon over anyone, but enjoyed their acting a lot - Nam Goong Min, Ju Ji Hoon, Lee Joon Hyuk, Park Seo Joon , Nam Joo Hyuk- all fantastic actors in their own right.

I really enjoyed watching Nam Joo Hyuk in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, so I started to watch StartUp. Little did I know that this man whom I would see for the first time on screen would ignite the fan girl cell in my brain.

Kim Seon is not a head turner , but boy did he bull doze himself in my heart as Han Ji Pyeong from scene 1 . Darcy has ruled my heart for eternity and now Han Ji Pyeong sits right there beside him. That’s high praise cause no one has ever come close to Darcy. The writer probably did not expect that Kim Seon Ho would elevate the character 100x to what she had imagined and then to save face and make sure sympathies stayed with the main leads, the writing fell apart in the last few episodes. A character assessment of Han Ji Pyeong for another post. It remains one of my favourite characters, hell no, it sits right at the top of my favourite characters in Dramaland!

I have now gone and watched Kim Seon Ho in every single series of his and all his theatre clips. He is the reason I got onto Twitter and Tumblr to find people I could talk to about him. What an amazing actor he is! It helps that he is utterly gorgeous with that bright smile of his with big dimples that warms my heart every-time I see him smile!

His voice - people don’t hype up his voice as much as it deserves to be. It’s deep and soothing and a perfect voice for mic and radio. I would buy every audiobook if he ever reads one!

He does angst well, he is an intense actor, he has great comic timing, he makes me cry with the emotions he portrays on screen and there is no actor currently for me that comes close to him. He is my source of happiness. I love watching him perform and emote on screen. I know he is going to go places - people are discovering him now and he is rising up the popularity charts with the currently airing Hometown Cha Cha Cha. I want to watch him play an antagonist , or a dual personality role like Lee Seung Gi played in Mouse. I want to see him play a prosecutor or a detective hunting down criminals.

But amidst all this rising popularity and fame that he has been getting, since he broke the internet with his portrayal of Han Ji Pyeong - he remains a lovable, humble human being offscreen and an absolutely adorable, clumsy dork. I love this duality in him.

I will continue to admire many actors as I discover more dramas (so many to watch), but I know that no one is going to capture my heart and mind like Kim Seon Ho has!

Week 10: Currently Watching

Wow. After The Red Sleeve, I really needed a break from watching dramas. I don’t know exactly what it was about that show, but I was emotionally exhausted after it ended. I can’t recall the last time I was so affected by a show, and it was, honestly, such a strange feeling. I’ve definitely watched dramas with tragic romances and sad endings before, but this one hit especially hard.

That, followed by Our Beloved Summer, which was a great drama as well, and fortunately, much happier, but it was also packed with a lot of emotions, that I just couldn’t get into other dramas. But I’m finally back.

Currently watching Twenty Five Twenty One with Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk. Absolutely amazing. Na Hee Do is adorable and Baek Yi Jin *swoons*

I don’t mind that they developed romantic feelings for each other even with Hee Do still in high school. And that is because of how their relationship developed. There’s nothing forced and while they do experience some miscommunications or awkwardness due to the gap in their age, there’s nothing strange about how they come to like each other. I can’t wait to see how their relationship further changes as they grow older. And puh-lease, do not have a sad or bittersweet ending. I’m going to be devastated if it is.

Also on the list is A Business Proposal. Such a ridiculous drama and exactly what I need. It’s dumb and yet, I love every minute of the show. Give me my tsundere male lead who’s good at everything and the poor female lead who somehow gets roped into a fake dating contract to throw off the male lead’s grandfather, but then they fall in love for real and live happily ever after.

Finally, just finished Through the Darkness. A complete 180 from the first 2 dramas. It is about the first criminal profiler in South Korea. It’s always satisfying to watch criminals and disgusting creeps get taking down by the good guys. And man, they really went all out with having the worst criminals.

The ending did feel a bit abrupt. I wonder if that was due to the show being cut shorter than it was originally planned for - because there were only 12 episodes instead a usual 16 episodes. Either way, it was still a good watch and Kim Nam Gil did an amazing job with portraying the struggle of having to listen to these criminals describing their messed up thoughts.

History ↴

trigger warnings: abandonment, alcohol, drugs, addiction

Hyunmin's upbringing was, in a word, tumultuous. Born to parents Minho and Soojin in Busan, South Korea, the Park family were well off thanks to Minho being an entrepreneur and owning multiple companies in the city. But the high school sweethearts had never really desired children of their own. Hyunmin was a surprise, and not a welcome one. The household that Hyunmin had to grow up in was strict and severely lacking in affection. It was a cycle of nanny after nanny, and very little time spent with his parents. For the most part, Hyunmin was okay with it. He didn't know any different, after all. When he turned 6 years old, his parents left without a word. The nanny who had been looking after him that night got in touch with his paternal grandparents, leaving him in their care. His grandparents cared for him, but like his parents, they weren't all that interested in the child. As the years passed, the realisation hit him - his parents had never wanted him, and neither did his grandparents. Nobody wanted him, really. The impact of this epiphany caused him to become withdrawn, isolating himself from everyone around him and never letting anybody in.

As he got older he became rebellious and self-destructive. He made friends with the wrong people and stayed out all night drinking, dabbling in drugs and skipping school, just wanting to feel like he was a part of something, like he could fit in for once in his life. This lifestyle soon got him into trouble, and after one night that ended with him sleeping it off in a cell at a local police station, he realised that this wasn't the kind of life he wanted to lead. Those friends that he had tried so hard to please were not friends at all. But he had gone too far already. He was in the grips of addiction, and struggling to keep his head above water. With the help of his grandparents, he managed to pull himself back from the edge, long enough for him to finish his studies, despite it being a year later than his peers.

At the age of 20, Hyunmin was finally ready to choose a career path for himself and head out to college. Struggling to figure out what it was that he wanted to do, he went with the only thing that he had ever really felt like he was good at - drawing. He enrolled at his local college and studied fine art. After graduation he decided that he needed a fresh start, to get away from his hometown and start a new life, to reinvent himself. After getting in touch with a tattoo artist in California over social media, he packed up his belongings and left Korea behind, starting an apprenticeship in America. He slipped back into his old ways however, struggling to make ends meet and finding himself in the company of people that pushed him back into his addiction. Needing to escape for a second time, he went travelling, wanting to put as much distance between himself and other people as he could, not wanting to stick around long enough to make friends or form connections. It seemed safer that way, not trusting anyone. He hopped from state to state for months, finally finding himself in Salem, Massachusetts.

After a week of exploring the city, Hyunmin fell in love with the place. He found himself a shared apartment, and managed to get himself a job at Devil’s Mark as a tattoo artist. Salem was the first place he truly felt content. He slips back into his old ways from time to time, but Hyunmin is determined to be a better person, no matter how hard it is, or how long it might take, but Salem seems to be the perfect place to do it in.

‏‏‎ ‎

Personality ↴

Hyunmin is a wild card, super energetic and always up for an adventure but also very guarded - his confidence is a front to hide his insecurities, essentially.

He slips back into his old, self-destructive ways from time to time, but that’s his coping mechanism. He doesn’t go too far like he used to, as long as he’s surrounded by people that care about him and keep him from losing himself again.

Kind-hearted and loyal, once he trusts someone enough to let them in and they do the same, he’ll always be there and have their back no matter what happens.

From time to time he can get a little withdrawn. He’ll hole himself up in his apartment and draw or make music. He’ll turn off his phone and ignore the world until he feels better.
