Taking a short break out of revision to blog about something I've come across recently.
While watching Crimewatch episodes on YouTube, I came across one of the suggested videos titled "Fated To Love You" (Probably because I've watched a lot of marriage proposals HAHAHA OK NO LINK), and decided to watch the much-raved Korean's version of Fated To You Love. It's a remake of the Taiwanese Drama with the same title or "You're My Destiny", starring Ethan Ruan and Joe Chen, and I personally adore the Taiwan's version. The cast, plot, and basically everything.
So anyway, I went to gooddrama.net to watch a few episodes of the Korean's version and I have to say although not as entertaining as the original, the cast were quite interesting hehe. First there's Jang Hyuk. (Spazzing in progress)
He's playing the male protagonist, as Lee Gun. He's the 9th descendant in his family line and apparently his family has this curse-like thing where all the males would die at the age of 30 plus, so that pretty much explains why grandma Lee was so happy (as in totally ZERO-ANGER) when she found out her grandson made a woman pregnant. I just don't like Jang Hyuk's maniac-like laughter... But he's quite handsome hehehehe. I personally like him because I've seen his cool-ness in Running Man AND HE IS HOT. HAHAHA. He also acted in Dance Of The Dragon alongside Fann Wong!! Some pics. Hehehe.
Jang Hyuk in Running Man ep 44! Isn't he just adorable?? Hehehe.
And here is him with Fann Wong!!! So much love for him but Fann Wong really doesn't match anyone but Christopher Lee. IMHO. Hahahaha. Okay, one last solo shot of Jang Hyuk hehehe.
Mad handsome!!!! But I don't know which drama was this... :'( Time to watch all his dramas when I have the time. Hehehe. Next up, our female protagonist - Jang Na Ra!
Jang Na Ra really befits the role of her character, Kim Mi Young! - The average girl-next-door, plain-looking, but super gorgeous once she has a makeover!
Nawwwww even when she looks down she's so preets...... (Spazzing once again)
I have to admit I've never heard of her name, not once, but after watching this show I think I'll start adding her onto my "FOLLOW" list of Kpop celebrities. She's really soooo preets I can't even. Alright photos of the two other supporting roles before I end off. Hehe.
CHOI JIN HYUK!
One of the guy who falls for adorable Kim Mi Young, because of her innocent and kind personality. Daniel! Hehehe. Too bad they didn't end up together... Not in the Taiwan version, at least...
Wang Ji Won! (As Se Ra)
I have to say that though the other 3 artistes fits into their role perfectly, I felt weird watching her acting as the graceful ballerina... >< Don't ask me why because I don't know why either. Hahaha. And this is the pic of the cast's script-reading for the drama!
Pretty Jang Na Ra!!! Darn pretty omg.
Okay, so I'm done spazzing over the cast. Hehehehehehe. Just a summary of the whole drama, Lee Gun is apparently one of the rich and potential bachelors out there, but too bad he's taken by his girlfriend of 6 years, ballerina Se Ra, who has been trying her best to push back any plans of proposal of marriage with Lee Gun until she has fully realised her dream of being a ballerina and getting her golden role. Kim Mi Young is your regular girl-next-door, and she's so average that people don't notice when she isn't around, of course unless when they need her (She's basically like a post-it, needed by everyone but thrown into the trash can once used). Daniel is a designer who has been living his whole life in regret and trying to find his sister whom he lost at the age of 4. He meets Mi Young at an orphanage where she confesses to him, thinking he's a priest, that she got pregnant, and she didn't know what to do because the father of her child already has a girl he loves. Lee Gun couldn't accept the fact of being a father at first, but eventually falls for Mi Young due to her innocent and kind personality. However, a car accident led to the loss of their baby and a temporary end to their accidental meeting. They meet after 3 years and go through many obstacles again before getting back together.
I really like Mi Young because she's really a kind lady, literally putting others before her own needs, and thinking of others. Never saying No to others, and even when she's pregnant she thinks about the pain of the child's father and his girlfriend, forgoing her own happiness. Such an angel. Hehehe.
One of the best quote I love from this show was when Mi Young got dumped by her boyfriend in Macau, and Lee Gun said to her,
"You are not a post-it. Be a super glue. So that when those jerks tear you away from them, it will hurt them as if they are tearing a piece of their skin away as well."
The most awesome line I've heard in any drama. HAHAHA. I wanna be a superglue too HAHAHA.
A good drama can't really be that good in the absence of great OST, and here's one of the song I really really love from the drama, adding on the fact that it's sung by Ailee!!! It's the song played when Mi Young had her car accident, but it's a really sweet song.
Goodbye My Love Lyrics
My tears remember
It fills up your seat again
I try erasing but I can’t erase you
You’ve become my everything
You, I can’t see you, I can’t hear you
But I’m okay
Goodbyes are sad, my heart aches
But if you are happy, if you can smile, then I…
I will miss you the more I erase you
I will shed more tears than today
Like fate, I won’t ever have anyone like you
Only you, only you
As much as my tears, I hope you are happy
Good bye my love
My heart already knew
This feeling of loneliness that’s about to explode
I try to hide it but I can’t hide it
You’ve become my heart
You, I can’t have you, I can’t touch you
But I’m okay
Endless pain, tears shed again
But if you are happy, if you can smile, then I…
I will miss you the more I erase you
I will shed more tears than today
Like fate, I won’t ever have anyone like you
Only you, only you
As much as my tears, I hope you are happy
You will think of me at least once
That’s all I need, until the day we meet again
I’ll wait, it’s only a momentary goodbye
Good bye my love
Toodles for now!! ^^
