It's been a long time since my last post. Well, if you happen to notice, I've been having that same intro the last couple of years eversince I got too lazy to update this blog. Do I sound like a broken record already? I know right!
Okay, so it's already 2014 and I haven't even had a single entry on this blog. There's just rougly three months left till this year ends and where have I been all this time? Not much I guess. But not less either.
Why? Coz I found a new inspiration in Jang Hyuk oppa! Yes, after a celebrity fangirling drought, I am so back. And even better!
So who is this guy who suddenly turned my ice cold heart melt with burning love? Jang Hyuk is a South Korean actor who starred in the films Please Teach Me English and Windstruck and the television series Bright Girl. After completing his military service, he returned to acting via the heartwarming series Thank You. His biggest success came when he played Lee Dae Gil in the highly-rated & critically acclaimed series Chuno for which he won numerous awards.
Hyukie oppa was already successful in the early 2000s. I know I've seen his films then. I even had a chance to get a glimpse of him on Bright Girl when it aired on a local tv channel sometime in 2004, if I'm not mistaken. But I wasn't really smitten. Or maybe I wasn't just looking close enough.
So fastforward to August of this year. I'm a sucker for romance and Kdrama is just perfect for people like myself. Yes, I've been watching Kdramas for so many years now, I can't count how many series I've watched and how many actors I've been infatuated with. Jo Hyun Jae, Bae Soo Bin, Kim Min Jong, Lee Dong Wook, So Ji Sub, Ko Soo, Jo In Sung and the list goes on.
Now the question is...how on earth did Jang Hyuk fall off my radar? Simply put, where has he been hiding all this time? Has he been hiding from me? Well, that brings me to finding this gem of an actor in the Korean adaptation of the original Taiwanese series Fated to Love You. Jang Hyuk hasn't acted in a romantic comedy for more than a decade and that explains why I haven't seen him coz I watch too many sappy romantic dramas.
Honestly, I was quite hesitant to watch FTLY because I didn't watch the Taiwanese version & had no idea what it was about. But then, a really boring weekend with nothing much to choose from made me want to give it a try. And goodness, I have to thank that boring weekend coz my life will never be the same. I found the most endearing male protagonist in any Korean series, and that is my beloved Lee Gun. The best part is, Lee Gun reintroduced me to the brilliant and charismatic guy that is Jang Hyuk!
