Between Song Seung Hun & Kwong Sang Woo

I keep telling my friends that these two actors are my favourite actors in Korea. They asked me what is so special about these two. All I can say, is that SSH speaks to my heart with his eyes, and KSW, with his charm.

In "Autumn Story", then "Summer Scent" and then back to noltagic refreshments in "Happy Together", then after "Pop Corn", I can't help but to notice that SSH has a pair of eyes that can basically speaks to me. When I watched his dramas and lately his films ("Ice Rain", "He was So Cool"), I find that his eyes are probably the most expressive ones that I have ever seen both on the silver screen as well as real life. Which is why, perhaps.. sometimes one may find his facial expression a bit "less impressive" as compared to those of KSW or maybe those in the same league as he is. Simply because of his expressive eyes! He can basically bring me to tears or laughters, or even in some circumstances, to intense moments.. through eye language (if there's such thing). :)
And KSW, didn't notice him much when I first watched "We are Dating now", "Into the Sun" and started to notice him more after watching "My Tutor Friend", and after Stairway to Heaven, he just took my breath away. His acting has improved so much and one can actually see his acting evolvement. After watching STH, I wacthed him in Jeet Kun Do, and eventhough I didn't enjoy the movie, I can basically conclude that he is one good actor. He has this "remarkable charm" that the camera loves and it attract the audience the same way as bees to honey. Can't wait to see his " Love So Divine" soon.
I was devastated to know that SSH will not be in Sad Sonata with KSW, it would be a great combination. It would be great to throw in Kim Ha Neul as well, cause she is one good actress. Hopefully to see them three in a good drama soon!

Why Autumn Story is still My Favourite ?

When my friend Lily told me about Korean Dramas 2 years ago (as she was watching them shown on tv), I was thinking that watching foreign films will never be my cup of tea. I simply find it hard to enjoy a movie by reading subtittles or trying to understand the translated version. The acting could be good but sometimes bad efforts on traslating them might affect the drama itself (and this include the background music, using unsuitable voices to translate, and God knows... many others). Then, there was one night when nothing interesting was shown even on cable TV, that I tuned in to watch a Korean Drama and my whole perception about foreign films changed overnight. My friends at work called it a disease .. something that is responsible of waking me up as early as 4.30am in the morning to watch the video version, after wathing the same episode on national TV the night before. To me... its called the Autumn Story Disease which has paved a way for me to see, feel and understand another level of enjoyment that I have never experienced before. Its funny how many others feel that this is a tragic love story that probably shouldn't be crowned as the best considering the tragic end. To me, Autumn story is a beautiful love story which has it all, and the ending is beautiful as well. The fact that the main two actors are re-united in the end, simply shows that nothing could stand in between true love, even death. I remembered how this drama has raised many questions in me, on to what extent a man may love a woman and doubts on the logical part of every tragic elements. And after watching it many..many times, I am not just watching it anymore, but I am feeling it. And after two years of collecting and watching many other Korean Dramas, the Autumn Story will still remain as the best one that I have ever seen.

The Beginning

I have always love writing and thought it would be great to share life experiences as well as other interests with those who may like to share theirs as well...
