As I was watching Fated to Love You, I found myself enjoying each episode. At first, I was drawn to Kim Mi Young for her kindness and innocence. I actually did not like Lee Gun at the beginning of the drama. I thought he was way too loud and immature. But towards the middle of the series, Lee Gun finally won me over. Episodes 11 and 12 were the turning point to this change of heart.
In Lee Gun, I felt the pain in letting go of the one you love. I cried when he bravely kept his tears, trying to deny his own heart's happiness. I wanted to comfort him when he was at a distance gazing at the woman he loved dearly. I found kindness in his spirit that was easy to grasp. I related with him more than I ever did with any character in any drama.
The more exposed I was with Lee Gun, the more curious I was in finding out the man behind the character. How could an actor do so much to a stereotypically rich, proud leading man in a romantic comedy? Jang Hyuk was so fully committed to the role, he breathed life to Lee Gun in a way that made the character endearing, relatable and timeless.
I looked up at his filmography and didn't even know that he has been doing mostly serious roles in the past couple of years. The last time I checked, he was playing silly characters that barely caught my interest. It turns out, I missed out on a lot of Hyukie films and dramas.
So I watched Chuno and was in awe the entire time. He was Lee Dae Gil from start to finish with no sign of holding back. He cried with bitter sorrow and fought bravely even knowing of imminent defeat. His stunts were as amazing as his acting. His body was as jaw-dropping as his pretty face. Okay so now, I'm back to fangirling. Haha!
Seriously though, Jang Hyuk is a total package. He does his own stunts and is even a trained martial artist. That explains a string of projects in the action genre the previous years. But in my opinion, Jang Hyuk is most effective when he does drama. His eyes can express a hundred different emotions. It's unbelievable!
And then came FTLY. His comedic timing and at times, slapstick humor are just too hard to resist. He brutally made me laugh and cry all at the same time! Some of the best actors are those who excel in both drama and comedy. Anything in common with my all time favorite actors? Kevin Kline, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson & Tom Hanks. Yes, they all have that dramatic-comedic combo. It's a very rare talent to have and I'm proud to say that Jang Hyuk is that rare combo.
But wait, there's more! He's got abs, a beautiful face, cute dimples, killer smile, perfect nose and luscious lips! Simply put, he's drop-dead gorgeous! And did I mention how great a kisser he seems to be? Lucky girls who get to kiss him on screen. But mostly, I envy you Jang Nara! Lol. Forgive my being a fangirl...again!
