#song shi ho

[bluefoxburrow]

My personality is being in love with Kim Bok-joo while also feeling strong compassion for Song Shi-ho. Shi-ho does ugly things but she’s in so much pain that I can’t make myself hate her. (I’m on 7th episode rn)

'Gold! Jade!' Yun-seong Lee "returned in 10 years..I didn't have to think"

[mdzs-owns-my-ass-i-guess]

Christmas with the MXTX couples:

HuaLian:

The most extravagantly decorated house and Christmas tree for at least several thousand miles - Hua Cheng is very particular about how everything should look to create the perfect mix between luxurious and cozy.

They use Hua Cheng's butterflies instead of Christmas lights, and mist decorations are made from gems or jewelry pieces. Everything is glittering.

With that being said, there a few absolutely fugly items scattered about the house that Xie Lian has collected through the years and formed attachments to, and Hua Cheng cannot let his aesthetic take away gege's chance to display the items he loves, unsightly as they might be.

There's always some kind of soft music playing, be it jazz or Christmas songs or instrumentals. Xie Lian loves to hum to it.

Hua Cheng lets Xie Lian cook if he wishes because he can personally take his food just fine and their guests (Mu Qing, Feng Xin, Qi Rong, He Xuan, Shi Qingxuan, Ling Wen, Pei Ming, Lang Qianqiu et. al) do not deserve the courtesy of edible food in his opinion. Besides, he loves to see gege enthusiastic about new holiday recipes. They end up cooking together most of the time though.

Xie Lian insists on wearing ugly Christmas sweaters. He thinks it's cute and funny and Hua Cheng (local diva and fashionista) shrivels up inside every time he has to put on a light up Christmas sweater. But for gege, he would do anything. He died 3 times for him, what's one day of fengqing making fun of him?

So many Christmas movies! They watch all the classics, then move on to cheesy Hallmark Christmas romances. They all need to have a happy ending though!

Everyone's gifts are from Xie Lian. Hua Cheng doesn't get anyone but his gege gifts. There are so many boxes under the tree that it's barely visible at all by this point.

Because he wears a lot of red, the others jokingly call Hua Cheng Santa Claus. He is not allowed to commit murder during the holidays so he can only glare and pout about it. Xie Lian finds it cute.

It's Yin Yu's one day off and he's also invited to the gathering but somehow still ends up organizing and directing things, just that he's a bit tipsy doing it because the eggnog slaps a bit too hard.

There is a non-zero chance one of Xie Lian's gifts consists of only a silk ribbon. And there is a non-zero chance he opens it in front of everyone by accident. Good luck explaining that one.

FengQing aren't allowed to fight each other or Hua Cheng. They end up arguing over Christmas movies as a proxy.

He Xuan brings his own food because he knows better.

WangXian:

Everyone wants to spend Christmas at the wangxian household - it's beautifully decorated, there's lots of food and a lot of opportunities for fun and chaos.

Wei Wuxian is allowed to cook but not add spices. Lan Wangji also can't add spices because he likes the bland Lan food. The compromise is to have Wen Ning taste and spice everything. It is a wonderful decision.

Mulled wine and hot chocolate are always available. You can also try some of Wei Wuxian's questionable brews, but you have to sign a waver for that.

Carolers love the wangxian household because they're very giving. There is a queue in front of their house and everything, Lan Jingyi manages it.

Lan Xichen does all the holiday baking. It's very relaxing for him and he loves being meticulous about decorating his cakes.

Decorating the Christmas tree is a family job but Sizhui always has to put the star on top. Nobody else is allowed. He has been doing this since he was 5 and will be doing so forever. Lan Wangji insists on lifting him to do so even if he can reach perfectly fine by himself now.

Wei Wuxian wraps gifts in the most chaotic way so nobody can guess what they got before they open it. They make a guessing game of it though and whoever is closest gets extra candy.

Everyone has to wear a santa hat. Yes, even Lan Qiren.

Jin Ling spends Christmas morning with Jiang Cheng and then rushes over to the wangxian house with Ouyang Zizhen. Sometimes he tries to drag his uncle with him. And sometimes he lets himself be dragged.

The gingerbread house contest is taken way too seriously by everyone. There's frosting all over the walls by the end, its a mess. There is never a clear winner and everyone accuses Lan Wangji (designated judge) to favoritism towards Lan Sizhui.

As Christmas Day ends and everybody returns to their homes, it is cleaning up and cuddling by the tree that WangXian enjoy most. If it snows, they watch it together in comfortable silence, maybe put on a movie in the background.

Then Wei Wuxian pulls the Christmas lingerie and the calm dissipates into a fit of giggles and moans.

BingQiu

Binghe enters the kitchen three days before Christmas and nobody sees him come out till Christmas Eve. He makes so much food it's insane. The place smells like a fairytale and Shen Qingqiu is pretty sure he has fallen in love with it almost as much as he's in love with his husband.

Shen Qingqiu is not allowed to do any work at all. No cooking, absolutely no cleaning, and they decorate the house together.

So much mistletoe. It's everywhere. The whole place is covered in it, their house is basically a mistletoe shrub at this point and there are so many kisses being shared

Binghe doesnt want to invite anyone over because his shizun is his and Christmas is about loved ones and Binghe definitely doesnt love those annoying peak lords! But he relents because he knows it means so much to Shen Qingqiu. He does not leave his side at all though and there's a hand around his waist constantly.

Everyone has to wear reindeer antlers just because Shen Qingqiu knows Shang Qinghua hates them and he likes pissing off this hack author. He gets over it quickly once he's given food though.

Shen Qingqiu gets so many gifts it's crazy. His harem is hard at work and he doesn't even realize it. He just thinks his friends are simply very thoughtful!

Binghe definitely gifts him some kind of strange sex toy among a million other things. It doesn't even look like a sex toy but Shen Qingqiu knows it is because the thing appeared a lot in pidw and he roasted Airplane about it every time. So much for that!

Binghe isn't allowed to fight Liu Qingge but that doesn't mean he won't try. There is a small chance of a food fight. Shang Qinghua manages the bets on who wins.

Mobei-Jun is just there cause Shang Qinghua is. He thinks this whole thing is very strange but he does like mulled wine so he will stick around. And if he and SQH disappear all of a sudden after a couple more cups of the thing, nobody asks questions.

Sha Hualing brings in some cursed demonic alcohol and SQQ has the half mind to just throw her out because he knows the effects of those drinks from pidw and he knows his body wont survive it. Binghe is very excited about it. Go figure.

Binghe does a slutty Kylie Minogue Santa Baby performance for SQQ after everyone leaves. He even has a see-through red outfit, stockings and a santa hat. Commitment to the bit I guess.

DRAMA REVIEW | Lovely Runner (2024)

Lovely Runner it's undoubtedly one of the best dramas of 2024.

It has all the elements that make a drama a mega hit: comedy, romance, time travel, well written characters (both leads and supporting ones) and an engaging plot line that never bores you. Starring Kim Hye Yoon and Byeon Woo Seok, adapted from the web novel The Best of Tomorrow by screenwriter Lee Shi Eun and directed by Yoon Jong Ho and Kim Tae Yub, the Lovely Runner team achieved a perfect execution in front and behind the camera.

I think the true star of this drama it's the writing and on this I can't commend Lee Si Eun enough. I had already seen her potential in dramas like True Beauty but here she really manages to shine through a well crafted, smart and cohesive story with no loose ends. I'm incredibly impressed by her talent.

The writing was perfectly complemented by the directors's outstanding work in leading a film crew that was on every detail of each part of the story, in each timeline, never missing a beat. Always delivering their A+++ game. But there was also great work done from the directors part in helping the actors get the comedic timing exactly right, the more emotional scenes to deliver and the team work among cast and crew to be flawless.

Lovely Runner might be a big hit now, but it's actually a sleeper hit. The lack of promotion this drama had was embarrassing and if it wasn't for the devoted fans, studio executives would have never realized they had a gem in their hands. So, it's not only a great drama with a super fandom that really fought for this story, it's also becoming yet another prime example in the list of films and tv that achieved all of it by themselves because artists delivered nothing short of excellence.

On this point I can't ignore the incredible performances given by the entire cast. Kim Hye Yoon and Byeon Woo Seok are definitely the standouts, they stole the show, this is their story and the actors chemistry it's electrifying. But the way supportive actors would show up in a scene and push the story forward in a coherent way and even make it better, it's wild to me. The chemistry this cast had it's a rare feat for an ensamble cast and how they managed to transition seamlessly through different phases of their characters's lives and relationships when events, in each timeline, were changing because of the things our leads did they still remain truthful. So, not only the leads are well developed in this drama but also every single character that shows up, no matter how small the role is.

The best example of this it's actor Heo Hyeong-Gyu who has been working for sixteen years, playing very minor characters, finally having a breakthrough in the industry because of his role in this drama. And while his presence was prominent and important to the story, he barely had lines. So his entire performance is mainly based on micro-expressions or physical stunts.

I also fully expect the actors like Song Geon-Hee, Lee Seung-Hyub, Song Ji-Ho or Seo Hye-won to receive a lot of what korean entertainment industry calls "love calls" aka commercials, dramas and films, among other things.

Experiencing watching Lovely Runner alongside the fandom, waiting every week for a new episode, it's a big part of what made this drama so good. Healthy and good loving fun people, clowning, poking fun at our faves and crying at heartbreak. It's been a long time since I have been able to engage in this way with other fans and I am thankful for them, the cast and crew for all these amazing weeks of fun.

Rating: 10/10

Weak Hero Character Names

For those who don't know, the Weak Hero webtoon anglicized a bunch of the characters' first names from Korean to English. They don't do this for newly introduced characters anymore AFAIK, but all the names they anglicized initially have been kept that way.

Since I've gotten a few people asking about the names, so I decided to compile a list of their original Korean names. You can find amost of these on their character profiles on the Weak Hero fandom page, but I figured people would appreciate having a quick reference that is all in one place. Hopefully this helps people learn/connect their original names.

Remember, this is not a full character list, it's for finding the Korean names of the characters that had their names anglicized.

The format will be:

Anglicized Name -> Korean Name (common alternative romanizations will be in parenthesis)

Eunjang High

Alex Go -> Go Hyeontak (Hyun-tak)

Ben Park -> Park Humin (Hoo-min)

Colton Choi -> Choi Hyoman (Hyo-man)

Eugene Gale -> Seo Juntae (Jun-tae)

Gerard Jin -> Jin Gayul (Ga-yool)

Gray Yeon -> Yeon Sieun (Shi-eun)

Phillip Kim -> Kim Pilyoung (Pil-young)

Rowan Im -> Im Juyang (Ju-yang)

Teddy Jin -> Jin Taeoh (Tae-oh)

Daehyeon High

Dean Kwon -> Kwon Hyeokjin (Hyuk-jin)

Jake Ji -> Ji Hakho (Hak-ho | Hagho)

Timothy Park -> Park Taegi (Tae-gi)*

Ganghak High

Jared Sun -> Seon Jongwon (Sun Jong-Wan)

Toby Kim -> Kim Dosik (Do-sik)

Wolf Keum -> Keum Seongje (Sung-je)

LỜI HỒI ĐÁP 1997: TUỔI MƯỜI TÁM VÀ NHỮNG LỜI YÊU CÒN BỎ NGỎ.

Tên tiếng Anh: Reply 1997 Đạo diễn: Shin Won Ho Năm phát hành: 2012 Diễn viên chính: Jung Eun Ji, Seo In Guk, Hoya, Shin So Yul, Eun Ji Won, Lee Shi Eon, Sung Dong Il, Lee II Hwa, Song Jong Ho.

Nằm trong chuỗi phim quay ngược thời gian cùng với những cái tên đình đám như Lời hồi đáp 1988, Lời hồi đáp 1994, ở Lời hồi đáp 1997, khán giả được quay trở về với cuộc sống người dân Hàn Quốc, đặc biệt là giới trẻ những năm 90 trong giai đoạn làn sóng Kpop nở rộ và những câu lạc bộ fan cuồng nhiệt ra đời,…

Bất cứ thời đại nào, tôi tin tuổi trẻ vẫn là khoảng thời gian đẹp đẽ và khó quên nhất mà chúng ta từng trải qua. Một trái tim chân thành và cháy bỏng dành cho những điều ta yêu – đó cũng chính là những tháng năm tuổi trẻ của nhóm bạn 6 người: Sung Shi Won, Yoon Yoon Jae, Kang Jun Hee, Mo Yoo Jung, Do Hak Chan, Bang Sung Jae.

Phải chăng tuổi trẻ khó quên vì những lời yêu còn bỏ ngỏ? 

Với mối tình đơn phương của Yoon Jae với Shi Won và những cảm xúc không thể gọi tên của Kang Jun Hee thì có lẽ là như vậy. 

“Vô tình gặp nhau trên đường. Lấy cùng một cuốn sách ở thư viện. Ai đó vào che nhờ ô của tôi. Tôi cứ nghĩ tình yêu phải đặc biệt như thế. Nhưng nó không giống như tôi tưởng tượng.”

Những thổn thức đầu tiên của trái tim đến thật bất chợt. Bỗng một ngày, bạn nhận ra cô bạn lớn lên bên cạnh mình từ thuở bé cùng cắp sách đến trường xinh bất ngờ, như khoảnh khắc mà Yoon Jae rung động trước Shi Won khi cô tháo kính cận. Hay sự âm thầm ngưỡng mộ Yoon Jae của Kang Jun Hee đã lớn dần thành mối tình đầu từ khi nào mà anh cũng không biết. Điều này làm tôi chợt nhớ đến câu hát trong bài “Chuồn chuồn” của Tùng: “Tình yêu diệu kỳ đến thế/Tôi có trao đâu mà tình yêu bắt đầu.” 

 Có một Yoon Yoon Jae luôn hướng về Sung Shi Won

“Yoo Jung tỏ tình với tớ” “Tớ nên làm gì đây” “Tớ không nên hẹn hò với cậu ấy à?” “Tớ không nên hẹn hò với cậu ấy à?” “Bảo tớ đừng hẹn hò với cậu ấy”

Tuổi trẻ của mỗi người đều đã từng là Yoon Yoon Jae hoặc có cho mình một Yoon Yoon Jae không thể quên. Yêu thầm cô bạn thân và nhìn thấy cậu bạn thân của mình dường như cũng thích thầm cô ấy, Yoon Jae lúc nào cũng trưng ra bộ m��t “u sầu” trước mặt Shi Won. Cậu bật đèn xanh và ra tín hiệu mọi lúc có thể nhưng vì quá thân thiết nên Shi Won chẳng bao giờ để ý. Dù tỏ ra thờ ơ, luôn cãi vã nhau nhưng Yoon Jae vẫn âm thầm quan tâm cô, thậm chí còn không màng đến bản thân mình. Cậu luôn ghi nhớ mọi thứ về Shi Won từ những điều nhỏ nhặt nhất. Ước mơ từ thuở bé của cô là động lực để Yoon Jae quyết định vào Học viện Không quân. Khi đàn ông bày tỏ với cô gái mình thích tức là anh ta đã chịu mạo hiểm không gặp cô ấy nữa. Và Yoon Jae cuối cùng cũng quyết định đặt cược ván bài tình cảm với cô gái mình thầm yêu…

“Mối tình đầu – tình yêu tươi xanh ai cũng hết lòng ca ngợi. Có lẽ thứ tình cảm ấy tươi đẹp không phải vì nó là mối tình đầu, mà vì nó chứa đựng cả một thời thanh xuân ngây thơ, nhiệt huyết mà không ai có thể quay về được.”

Lặng thầm một mối tình “câm”

Thời niên thiếu, có những mối tình câm, tình thầm mãi mãi chôn chặt trong trái tim. Không biết bắt đầu từ khi nào cũng không biết đã kết thúc từ bao giờ. Có một câu nói như thế này: “Hoa nở là đẹp rồi, tại sao nhất thiết phải biết nó thuộc về ai.” Kang Jun Hee lặng lẽ bên cạnh Yoon Yoon Jae suốt 6 năm, dù biết chuyện tình mình sẽ chẳng bao giờ đơm hoa kết trái nhưng đối với cậu, chỉ cần được nhìn thấy người mình thích đã là sự đáp trả ngọt ngào nhất khi yêu đơn phương. 

“Lý do tớ thích cậu… Lý do tớ thích cậu là gì ư? Bởi vì đó chính là cậu. Chỉ là cậu mà thôi. Còn lý do nào khác nữa sao? Giá mà tớ biết được…làm thế nào mới có thể ngừng thích cậu. Nhưng điều đó tớ không thể tránh được. Tớ chỉ mong duy nhất một điều… Mãi ở bên cậu như một người bạn…không hơn.”

Cùng nằm trong chuỗi phim nổi tiếng của đạo diễn Shin Won Ho, thật khó để không đặt cả 3 bộ phim lên bàn cân so sánh. Tôi chưa xem qua Reply 1994, nên ở đây chỉ nói về Reply 1997 và Reply 1988. Cá nhân tôi cảm thấy cả 2 bộ phim đều chứa những giá trị ý nghĩa riêng dựa trên thời gian và trải nghiệm sống của mỗi người. Ở Reply 1988, bộ phim làm tôi xúc động trước câu chuyện của người khác: tình cảm gia đình, tình làng nghĩa xóm của khu Ssangmun Dong và đặc biệt là nó tái hiện lại những ký ức rất hồn nhiên, trong sáng và vui vẻ bên bạn bè. Còn ở Reply 1997, tôi lại thấy thân thuộc và chạm tới cảm xúc nhiều hơn vì nhìn thấy ở đâu đó có bóng dáng câu chuyện của mình. Chúng ta đã từng là những Sung Shi Won, Kang Jun Hee và Yoon Yoon Jae,… đều có khoảng thời gian tuổi trẻ vô tư và nhiệt thành như vậy. Ta sống hết mình với tình yêu cho hiện tại không cần biết sẽ nhận lại điều gì, có lúc thấy bồi hồi trước những cảm xúc chưa dám gọi tên, có lúc dũng cảm chạy theo tiếng yêu đầu đời, nhưng cũng có lúc loay hoay không biết mình sẽ đi về đâu. Lời hồi đáp 1997 lấy nước mắt người xem còn ở việc khai thác rất tốt về khía cạnh tình cảm gia đình khi con cái bước vào độ tuổi 18 quan trọng của đời người nữa. Nói chung là rất đáng xem đóoo! Phim nào của đạo diễn Shin Won Ho của làm mình tốn nước mắt hết.

OK so i saw a couple of trending dramas, here are my reviews on them hihi :)

Strong girl nam soon = ... wtf was that drama. Dgw, I love love my girl yoomi, but boy did her character make me wanna whack her ass back to Mongolia. Ik the directors tried to make her quote quirky unquote. But they missed the mark by a couple thousand miles, she's more of an airhead than a quirky, bubbly girl. I hate, hate the characters sm in the drama, they're all so.... one dimensional. Probably that's why many are defending shi-o or were rooting for him, cause he's the only one with some depth to his character. Half the scenes with ML and namsoon were so ... weird. It all felt so forced, there was no pining like its super iconic predecessor strong woman do bongsoon, there were no iconic scenes like minhyuk melting into a puddle when bongsoon called him min min or gokdu's tsundere antics, this drama gave nothing. And why bother calling it strong girl nam soon when half the entire drama revolved around her mother's weird ass obsession with being a messiah and the grandmother's cringey love story. It's sad to see such talent get wasted on a script that looked like a newborn had written it. 4/10 would not recommend.

Business proposal = ikik this drama isn't 'trending' perse but it still is quite highly talked about. And I'm glad I checked it out, the chemistry between seol in-ah and minkyu was JS8W8SOQ8SJQKA91828SIW lmao and ahn hyeon seop nailed the role. Such a lighthearted and fun drama, sejeong's quirky-ness was adorable and funny, I still giggle whenever I remember 'Rachel and samantha'. I was a bit worried that they'll go on a an entire tangent on the ceo's back story, but I'm glad they didn't and kept it light and fun but also simultaneously giving the ceo closure and comfort. 7/10 would recommend because I'm scared of the archeopteryx

Twinkling watermelon = wtf was that drama pt 2. But In a good way. It scared me so deeply but also applied ointment and gave me a hug. Such a comforting drama. No drama could ever make me cry on the second episode but guess what, twinkling watermelon did that. I was bawling throughout, but also laughed, and cooed because the chemistry between eomma and appa was adorable! No wonder they love each other sm, they've been thru so much. :(((( as someone who's worried about my youth slipping away, I found immense comfort in that drama. And how eun ho said something along the lines of, "enjoy your youth, it's the only time you'll twinkle. You don't have to be worried about me sk much, I'll find my way, it's my life after all" >>>>> and the ending when the music master said, "to you and to everyone you wish to protect, viva la vida, long live life" I'm never getting over that drama. Although I did find seol's character a bit annoying in the beginning because she wasn't letting eomma and appa meet but then I fell for her too lol. What a cutie. 9/10 would recommend to everyone till the time I'm blocked by them.

My demon = the newly trending song Kang drama was quite fun to see, although only 2 eps are out, I'm invested lol. I've always been a huge fan of Kang since I saw him in sweet home. And yoojung is practically my wife. The chemistry was off the roof, the visuals, the tension, the acting, the humor >>>>>> 8/10 I'm excited to see how this drama will unfold. I've a lot of expectations.

I Proposed in Front of 100,000 People at an Arijit Singh Concert – Here's How It Happened

When I first heard of the chance to propose to my girlfriend in front of a massive crowd of 100,000 people during Arijit Singh’s live performance of "Tum Hi Ho," I felt an electric mix of excitement and nerves. Could I really do this? As someone who usually shies away from big crowds, this wasn’t exactly in my comfort zone. But I also knew this would be an unforgettable moment—a memory we’d have forever.

Taking the Leap

When I told Huntware (the team behind the event) that I was interested, they walked me through how it would all work. There was a lot to prepare, but they handled everything down to the tiniest details so I could focus on just being there, in the moment, for my girlfriend. It felt unreal, knowing that my love story would become part of a magical evening with one of India’s biggest stars.

The day of the concert, my heart was racing. As Arijit started singing, I could feel the anticipation building. It was the song we'd listened to on repeat, “Tum Hi Ho,” a song that had soundtracked so many moments of our relationship.

The Moment

When the spotlight found us, and I got down on one knee, it was as if time slowed down. All I could see was her face. The crowd was cheering, the music was playing, and for a few moments, the entire world just faded away. I asked her to be with me forever, and she said yes. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that smile on her face.

A Dream Come True

The whole experience, from planning to the actual proposal, was beyond anything I’d imagined. Huntware made it feel like a fairy tale but kept everything real and personal. My friends were in shock when they saw the video—they couldn't believe I'd pulled it off! And my girlfriend? She was over the moon. Now, every time we hear "Tum Hi Ho," it’s even more special.

Why I’d Do It Again in a Heartbeat

I know big public proposals aren’t for everyone, but if you’re thinking about doing something unforgettable for your special person, I’d say go for it. Life’s too short not to take risks and create moments you’ll cherish forever.

Huntware made it all happen, and they’ll forever be part of our story. To anyone considering it, I can promise this: there’s nothing quite like sharing your love with the world on such a grand stage.

Yes this is just a story if you are thinking of feel this same experience with your partner, we are very happy to help. Visit: Huntware and book your seats (if available).

Kim Busik can be said to be a representative of Goryeo's civil servants and at the same time the last tattoo power before the Musin Coup. At the same time, he is also the person who provided the opportunity for the military coup to occur along with Han Loe, Kim Don-jung, and Uijong. His son, Kim Don-joong, seems to have been frivolous and rude. His son also made a big contribution (?) to the establishment of the military regime as a pair with his father.

In the history of Goryeo, there is a record that on New Year's Eve[16], a ritual to chase away evil spirits was held, and each of the servants had a kind of talent show[17]. In the midst of rampaging and enjoying each other, an incident occurs in which Kim Don-joong, the young son of Kim Bu-shik, who was a eunuch [18], looked at the shamans with ease, and burned and ate the beard of Jeong Jung-bu, who was then Gyeonryongdaejeong [19], with a candle.[20]

Of course, Jeong Joong-bu, who was angry, beat and cursed Kim Don-jung, who was not cheap, but the problem was that Kim Bu-sik couldn't give such a bad son a face, but when his son was beaten, he accepted it as a challenge to his family and went into a rage, saying that he should punish Jung-jung and torture him the same way. insisted [21], and inevitably the race allowed it to do so.

No matter how much tattoos were a greater society than martial gods [22], Kim Don-joong was beaten and insulted by Jeong Jung-bu, but Kim Bu-sik and Kim Don-joong did too much. However, Injong was a person who cared about Jung Joong-bu, and he did not actually punish him because he secretly let him run away.

Anyway, this incident made Jeong Jung-bu hold a deep grudge for decades, and eventually this grudge became the seed of a rebellion by the shamans. Kim Pu-sik died in 1151, and when the Musin Coup occurred in 1170, about 19 years after that, Kim Don-jung was beaten to death by the swords of shamans and suffered a gruesome end. Kim Busik was also a famous Confucius fan. He praised the king's visit to Gukhak and held a memorial service for Confucius, and wrote 'Hahaenggukhakpyo', which insisted that the memorial service for Confucius should continue to be held in the future. was also revealed. The fact that he liked Confucius so much was also the part that ignited the evaluation that Kim Pu-shik was a mother-in-law.

However, as a Confucian scholar, this was a very natural behavior. Considering that the political system of Goryeo itself was based on Confucianism in the first place, there is nothing strange about it. Seo Hee, Kang Gam-chan, and Yoon Gwan of the previous generations were Confucian scholars who studied Confucian scriptures and reached government positions through the past. am. Because of this, it is difficult to say that Kim Bu-shik emulated Confucius so prominently. In fact, they liked Confucius, but for Confucian scholars of the Goryeo Dynasty, Jeonggwanjeongyo became a culture and many people practiced according to the theory of Xunzi, and moreover, Confucianism in this era had a very patriotic tendency, and intervened quite often in rebellions.

Perhaps because the name was taken from Su Shi (Su Dong-po), a famous poet of the Song Dynasty, it also reinforces such prejudice.[24][25] Danjae Shin Chae-ho is a typical person who criticized Kim Pu-sik as a flunkeyist. However, it is written in the Joseon Sanggosa that Kim Bu-shik concentrated national history into the flunkeyist 『Samguksagi』 and obliterated other librarians who had been handed down at the time, but this is not true, and decades later, during the time of Jehyeon Lee and Ilyeon, or even in the early Joseon Dynasty over a hundred years later, 《Samguksagi》 Several librarians from earlier periods have been handed down and cited. In the first place, Sadae itself is not the concept of blindly following other countries as many people think. Since the opponent is a great country that is much stronger than our national strength, the logic is that rather than confronting it, we should get what we can gain by currying favor. Although realistic and conservative, it is a completely different concept from selling traitors or national identity.[26] In addition, Kim Bu-sik showed a move to thoroughly take care of practical interests, not following China, but he did not strongly oppose Lee Ja-gyeom's insistence to give a punishment to gold, which he saw as a northern barbarian rather than Song, and openly rejected the southern Song who asked for help from Goryeo. was also seen

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo Commento

Non mi aspettavo tanto da questo drama, sarò sincera. Forse perché sapevo che ha uno stile leggero e divertente, io stessa ho cominciato a guardarlo senza troppe pretese, convinta che mi sarei fatta due risate e basta.

E sì, di risate me ne sono fatte tante, ma non solo quelle.

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo è un drama non solo molto carino, spensierato e divertente, ma anche riflessivo, maturo, umano. E poi c'è tutta la parte romantica, davvero molto molto bella e mai eccessiva o smielata.

Ma andiamo per gradi:

La protagonista

Mi è piaciuta un sacco. Bok Joo è un ragazza dell'università che fa sollevamento pesi, e questo la rende un po' particolare rispetto alle altre ragazze, di solito impegnate in sport come la ginnastica artistica o la danza. Senza contare che Bok Joo ha davvero l'aria di una scaricatrice di porto per quanto riguarda il camminare e atteggiamenti vari, il che la rende ancora meno "femminile" agli occhi degli altri, e questa questione è stata la cosa più interessante del personaggio.

Il fatto che sollevi pesi e che sia fisicamente molto forte, non la rende meno "ragazza" rispetto ad esempio alla second lead, che invece fa la ginnastica artistica. Questo drama insegna che una donna rimane tale sia dentro che fuori la sala degli allenamenti, e questo è un pensiero che ho apprezzato davvero tanto. Mi fa molto piacere che la serie abbia affrontato il tema perché non è affatto scontato.

Seriamente, quante ragazze si rifiutano di sollevare pesi (non solo a livello agonistico, ma proprio in generale), per paura di metter su muscoli e diventare meno aggraziate e meno femminili?

È una cosa che mi dispiace molto e che mi fa anche rabbia. Gli stereotipi sessisti a cui siamo purtroppo abituati non fanno bene a nessuno, e questa serie è davvero una boccata d'aria pura.

Bok Joo è stata un personaggio adorabile e molto sfaccettato. Buffa, simpatica, pesante, bugiarda, sensibile, una ragazza molto umana che si ritrova a vivere quei passi e compiere quegli errori propri della sua giovane età, rendendola ai miei occhi molto credibile.

Non credo che vincerà come protagonista femminile preferita nel quiz di fine anno anche perché nella mia testa il posto è già prenotato, ma Bok joo rimane una protagonista scritta bene, con una buona introspezione, e recitata con grande naturalezza.

Assolutamente promossa.

Il protagonista.

Una cosa che ho adorato di questo drama è che nessuno dei personaggi presenti è un santo, a partire proprio dai due protagonisti.

Joon Hyeong non è stato meno adorabile di Bok joo, anche se continuo a preferire lei perché la trovo più introspettiva, sfaccettata ed evoluta. Ma Joon Hyeong rimane comunque un protagonista maschile carinissimo.

La cosa che ho preferito di lui è il fatto che si sia innamorato di Bok joo per quello che lei è. Non è infastidito se lei solleva pesi, se non è una ragazza aggraziata come le altre, anzi, il fatto che lei sia così forte, lo trova sexy.

DIO BENEDICA QUEST'UOMO.

Ma diciamocelo: UN RAGAZZO COSÌ NON ESISTE NELLA REALTÀ 😭😭😭😭😭

Parlando della sua personale storyline e tutta la questione della madre, mi è dispiaciuto molto per lui ma mi ha fatto così piacere vedere il rapporto molto stretto ed affettuoso che ha creato con la sua famiglia, tanto da chiamare i suoi zii mamma e papà.

Non mi è piaciuta come si è conclusa la storyline della madre, il buonismo è qualcosa che non sopporto. Avrei preferito di gran lunga un finale triste e doloroso ma realistico.

La storia d'amore.

Sicuramente una delle mie preferite di quest'anno.

Bok joo e Joon Hyeong sono stati carinissimi e super divertenti da guardare. La loro chimica è stata estremamente naturale, e si vedeva che i due attori erano proprio a loro agio l'uno con l'altra, talmente spontanei che non sembrava nemmeno che stessero recitando.

Il protagonista poi ce l'ho avuto nel cuore e mi ha fatto troppo sorridere nel suo dilemma del giorno: "Perché quando le donne sono arrabbiate non ti dicono direttamente qual è il problema e invece ti costringono a capirlo da solo?" LOL. Però ammettiamolo: è spesso la verità XD.

Una storia d'amore costruita bene, per gradi, attraverso scherzi, provocazioni, dialoghi, sguardi, amicizia, dolcezza, urla, complicità, gelosia. Sopratutto quest'ultimo fattore mi ha fatto fare un sacco di risate.

La bromance

FINALMENTE UNA BROMANCE TUTTA AL FEMMINILE!!!!!

Sono abituata a bromance maschili, aspettavo una bromance fatta da donne, quindi Bok joo e le sue amiche sono una delle mie cose preferite della serie.

Nessuna delle tre è perfetta, soprattutto Bok joo che viene giustamente definita una "bugiarda patologica". Il loro è un rapporto altalenante, non sono sempre sincere e non si dicono sempre tutto, ma la cosa mi è piaciuta perché penso che sia umano e realistico.

Alla fine si preoccupano le une per le altre e sentono la loro mancanza, e hanno tutte quelle abitudini tipiche di un gruppetto di amiche: dal mangiare insieme, allo sgattaiolare sul tetto della scuola di nascosto, al sapere tutti i pettegolezzi sulle storie d'amore.

Indimenticabile la performance al Karaoke:

La second lead

O anche detta "serial killer con sguardo assassino affetta da disturbi bipolari".

Questa second lead mi ha lasciato più basita e spaventata che altro. Non sono mai riuscita a empatizzare molto per lei, e credo seriamente che il personaggio potesse essere scritto e messo in scena molto meglio. Per come è stata resa sembra una pazza che per metà serie se la prende con la protagonista perché l'ha vista insieme al ragazzo di cui è ancora innamorata (e che lei stessa ha lasciato, non dimentichiamocelo), e per cui per sua stessa ammissione prova un'ossessione. Per poi, dopo aver rischiato la morte, tornare tra i vivi come la ragazza più carina, amichevole e gentile di questo mondo.

Ehmmm... what? Mi sono persa un passaggio?

Questo personaggio non mi ha assolutamente convinta, per non parlare del suo sonnambulismo notturno alla ricerca di cibo così come Heidi che andava alla ricerca della porta di casa perché voleva tornare sulle montagne.

Insomma, una second lead più psicopatica di questa non l'ho mai vista.

Il second lead

Un personaggio partito così bene - carino, gentile, buono, sorridente - e finito così male. Perché uno che passa 5/6 episodi a fare il Re dei pirla che stalkerizza la dottoressa senza che si capisca se lo faccia per carità, disperazione, o perché è davvero innamorato, mi dispiace ma per me è un personaggio finito male.

Seriamente... "sono venuto perché sono solo e non ho nessun altro con cui bere", vi pare una bella dichiarazione?

Basita.

Inoltre penso che la cotta di Bok joo nei suoi confronti sia durata un pochino troppo (oltre metà serie).

C'è una cosa che ho apprezzato di questo personaggio. Di solito un personaggio così, che è un po' il principe azzurro, il classico bravo ragazzo, viene visto sempre e solo positivamente in tutto ciò che fa. Quindi mi è piaciuto molto come qui ci viene invece detto che a volte l'eccessiva bontà può fare più male che bene.

Lo sport

Questo è un punto importante del drama, e a mio avviso è stato affrontato molto bene con buoni spunti di riflessione:

- le ragazze che sollevano pesi

- le ragazze della ginnastica artistica costrette a mangiare le briciole, e in generale la questione del perdere o prendere peso quando si è atleti.

- i momenti di crisi che gli atleti attraversano.

- l'ultima competizione di un atleta e la fine della sua carriera

- l'incredibile stresso psicofisico a cui gli atleti sono costantemente sottoposti.

- i disordini alimentari

Tutte questioni interessanti di una certa serietà che mi ha fatto piacere vedere affrontate.

I personaggi secondari

L'allenatrice: mi è piaciuta tantissimo, e sopratutto mi è piaciuto il suo rapporto quasi materno con Bok joo. L'ho poi trovata umana nel non avere il coraggio di dire le cose come stanno allo zio della sua allieva, spingendo il poveretto a illudersi da solo.

Nota: complimenti all'attrice che avevo già visto in The Crowned Clown nei panni della Regina Vedova, la Cersei Lannister della Corea. Vederla nei panni di questa allenatrice in tuta e scarpe da tennis e coda di cavallo è stato strano e simpatico, ma l'attrice è stata assolutamente convincente e camaleontica.

Lo zio di Bok joo: la sua cotta per l'allenatrice è servita solo per farla mettere insieme all'allenatore, ma sinceramente potevano evitare. In generale è stato un personaggio carino e simpatico, ma non mi ha fatto impazzire la fidanzata che spunta fuori nel penultimo episodio facendolo impazzire d'amore davanti al fuoco stile barboni quando fino a cinque minuti prima era tutto preso dall'allenatrice. Ho sentito come se questa tizia l'avessero tirata fuori solo per farlo finire con qualcuno perché farlo finire da solo pareva triste.

Il padre di Bok joo mi è piaciuto. Un padre che inizialmente vede la figlia solo come una sollevatrice di pesi su cui proietta il proprio sogno di andare alle olimpiadi non avendocela lui fatta, per poi capire nel corso della storia che Bok joo è prima di tutto una ragazza, con i suoi sentimenti, bisogni, emozioni, sogni e desideri. Quando la lascia libera di prendersi una pausa dallo sport invece che urlarle addosso, l'ho apprezzato davvero tanto.

L'amico del protagonista Tae Kwon, il compagno di stanza più rompiballe di questo mondo: la scena del primo episodio in cui Joon Hyeong viene beccato dalla protagonista che lo crede un maniaco, e lui che se ne torna su con la corda lasciando l'amico al suo destino dopo averlo obbligato a uscire, non la dimenticherò mai.

Come non potrò mai dimenticare questo:

Nota particolare per Sun Ok, l'amica coi capelli corti di Bok joo. Mi è piaciuto molto lo spazio, seppur breve, che hanno riservato al personaggio, rendendola quindi più umana e introspettiva. Peccato che la sua storyline si conclude in modo positivo senza che ci venga spiegato come si siano risolte le cose. Però una cosa la voglio dire: Sun Ok ha avuto una reazione assolutamente giusta e comprensibile dopo che le amiche l'hanno esclusa da ciò che stava succedendo. Chiunque al posto suo si sarebbe sentita tradita e messa da parte.

I piani strategici

Se il quiz di fine anno avesse una domanda sui migliori piani strategici, questa serie vincerebbe a mani basse il primo premio:

- la protagonista che si crea una nuova identità per andare alla clinica a vedere il dottore, mentendo spudoratamente a tutti e illudendosi di non essere scoperta da nessuno.

- la second lead che cerca di mettere nella merda la protagonista con il diario della dieta perché è gelosa di lei, peccato che la cosa non vada a inficiare in nessun modo nella relazione tra i due protagonisti.

- la second lead che ingerisce una decine di pillole di sonnifero perché... già 3 o 4 fanno male e danno allucinazioni, quindi perché non prenderne ancora?

- la zia di Joon Hyeong che per dieci anni manda cartoline false al nipote spacciandosi per la madre. Capisco le buoni intenzioni, ma pensavi davvero che non lo avrebbe mai scoperto?

- il padre di Bok joo che fa i salti mortali per non far sapere alla figlia che si deve operare, fallendo miseramente perché si era scordato della vicina di casa

In questa serie i personaggi mettono in scena dei veri e propri pandemoni e sono disposti a tessere un intricata rete di bugie pur di non dire la verità. Bah, contenti loro.

In definitiva, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (sfida: trovatemi un nome più impronunciabile di questo) è una serie con un buon equilibrio tra lacrime e risate, tra divertimento e serietà, una serie di stampo leggero ma con buoni spunti di riflessione, contornata dai soliti classici cliché.

Molto carina e orecchiabile la colonna sonora.

Consigliata? Sì.

Punteggio: 8
