Beanie level: Errand boy

funny thought: have you ever seen a modern drama lead male character under 40 with a beard (NOT sideburns or goatee. A beard)? Everyone has a beard in sageuks, but, like, “no hipsters in Korea!”, huh?

    Lol… seems like it!

    I seriously can’t recall any… I haven’t seen the show but if I remember vaguely, So Ji Sub was quite scruffy in I’m Sorry I Love You..
    On the other hand, here in India there is an ongoing “no-shave” trend where many actors are flaunting fully grown beards!

      think about it: full on well groomed hipster with a steampunk pocket watch, iPad and a wooden frame smart-bike living in the basement of the Seoul University cause he spends all his money (from giving haircuts) on organic tobacco for smoking in his pipe. He would witness some murky business but since he is a hipster, he reaaaaaallly can´t be bothered. He has to save the whales first and do a dj gig, cause YOLO

        sounds like a plot to a good story, i’d watch it, would be a refreshing change from typical male leads

          yeah and he could be like this smooth operator who has somehow gotten past the “work hard till your nose bleeds” and “1st place or perish” demand – minimal effort with maximum result kind of guy that would really rub every bit of wrong with korean society. Plus, you can´t see half his face and he has a toy dolphin in his beard. the plot? perhaps convincing a girls´ parents he is good marriage, excuse me, cohabitation material despite his lacking specs and weird (sometimes dangerous) hobbies.

            i have a feeling it would be one of those stories that puts an everlasting smile on my face, i can imagine him being a bit awkward with women and yet being completely compelling, who would you cast? i can see jo jong seok (i hope the spelling is rigth, the main from oh my ghostess) playing this or perhaps go kyung po? or maybe even park bo-gum (allthough i cannot imagine him with a beard)

            I don´t know. someone relatively young-ish, but not too young around 26-27 maybe, and tough and strong despite looking soft. and someone who you´d look at first like ” he is completely nuts, better keep away” to slowly discovering the charms and the surprising range of life experience. Song Jae-Rim? Yoon Kyun Sang?

            this is odd, I just said Song Jae Rim, but I can´t see mary anywhere. She on a trip or something?

    Choi Si-won sported one in She Was Pretty, until he shaved it at the end to my endless dismay and disappointment.

      Ah! How did I not remember that? And he was a very oddball personality, too! He seriously looked great with a beard!

    I know just what is going to happen. I am 89% certain that Jin Oh will come and catch him, exert all his energy doing so, because he already had his fairwell dinner with them, and disappear. gwaaa I don´t want to even… drama is playing a friggin russian roulette, where there is no blank shot at all. he can´t. they can´t. we can´t. American´t. I most certainly can´t. Canterbury. CAN´T. The. Bury.

watching I Can See Your Voice s4 ep 12 raw while crocheting (32 squares today) and wonder what happens to all the eliminated good singers. Will they get their chance ever? Too sad if that´s really all

    Some of them start a professional career as singers (that usually doesn’t take off much) after the show or release a few indie records. And no matter how much we want talent to thrive, the public simply doesn’t have enough room to boost up so many careers at the same time. There’s a limited number of how many artists can get successful at the same time. The field is too competitive.

Drat! I just realized that I´ll be abroad just when a Big Moment might happen in Suspicious Partner (8th to 16th of june). Everyone will have left the party by the time I get back. Expensive internet.

I didnt even know that Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun had been in the same drama before, though one was a grownup and the other a childhood version of their characters. Nam Ji Hyun, how much you grew!

was going to give up on My Secret Romance, since the main story is not very compelling, but that secretary is too hilarious! & his suits rule. I want a show where secretaries literally run the world.

Im back but too tired to even remember where I normally watch dramas. I need one of those healing dramas – everything hurts. what´s a good drama for someone who suffers from excessive gardening?

    Something like Bad Guys where you can never focus on plants or grass 😛

    Or a rewatch of something cute like Shopping King Louis to take your tiredness away! 😀

Suspicious Partner, only watching 4 \”Bok Shil\” & the sleazy guy from 38 Squad its like \”Because he took my money in one drama, Imma find Seo In Guks´ woman from another drama & accuse her of murder!\”

    Hehehhe…. those are few of the reasons I want to watch it too! 😛

      was he finally able to go? If he hasn´t could we have a clumsy conman cameo (a la a mix of Jung Do and Louie, muahaha.

        Nopes! He is still awaiting medical approval! I think he has an upcoming medical checkup on 7th June and then only would we know what the status is… I so wish for his cameos but I guess it won’t be possible either way… he is staying out of the limelight as much as possible!

kacham! another Secretary Kim spotted in My Secret Romance! (I should watch dramas only to the point when a secretary Kim appears and then drop. then I can manage everything on the schedule).

I want a korean version of Ghostbusters. And I want Ma Dong Seok, Park Ki Woong, Ji Soo, Cha Seung Won and Kim Hee Sun to star in it. Can you imagine what their roles are?

    OMG! This idea is daebak!! Ma Dong Seok as Ray or maybe even Egon – hell, he could play Slimer and I would probably love it. Why isn’t this a thing yet? Hahahahaha. I want this on my screen.

      was thinking Ma Dong Seok = Winston (strength!); Ki Woong-ah = Egon (he can be manic enough); Ji Soo = Raymond & Cha Seung Won = Peter (he´d squeeze the heck out of a psychologist part!).

        Ch Seung Won would definitely be a good Venkman. Ji Soo could be Rick Moranis’s character- bahahaha. I totally cracked myself up with this thought. Hahaha.

          true, true, Ji Soo could be that! He can act anxious and jumpy well.

    I got a downvote because I commented about a certain piano in the post about Cheese in the Trap the movie. They were bringing in new faces, so I asked innocently, “Are they going to get a new piano?” *snickers*

    I was apparently a musician. I wonder who? Mozart? Tchaikovski? I hope it’s not Hendrix or Lennon, I could do without the drugs and getting shot…
