Thanks, Seungheoney. What a nice name!
Trying to remember when I got thunderstruck, must be about the time of Autumn series and when he did the One Day MTV. The MTV was shot in Canada and it was fabulous. Have been a fan since then but only felt his 'absence' and the big hole he left behind after he was drafted into army. Before that, he had been such a hardworking entertainer, doing projects after projects so there was always something to look forward to.
I am really happy he did Cool Guy. He pulled off the role very well. I can't think of anyone else who can play that character so perfectly. Something almost fairy tale about it. Not the Disney type but the asian kind. He can sloely grow into more mature roles but it is hard to try and do a high school role when you're really past it. Stars like Bae Yong Jun seems have to suddenly turned all serious and trying out art movies like Scandal and April Snow. Comedy roles are hardest, the need to be funny and yet form a connection with the audience. I do admire his committment to the craft.
I'm not working in China anymore, I am working in Singapore now. Maybe back to USA later this year or even Australia. Here in Singapore, not sure if SSH is big or not. But I do see his movies sold in some shops but not the full collection.
When I was in China, historical drama was big - 3 kingdom etc. Lots of good chinese actors but to me, no multi-talented eye candy like SSH who models, acts, sings, and simply stay a dreamboat! By the way, the way he has managed to stay in shape year after year is amazing. Most of them let themselves go after they get in shape for one project.
Ok, too much rambling.
By the way, I came on the net again because I saw CALLA last weekend and was looking high and low for one of the OST tracks, COME AGAIN, I BELIEVE. I wonder if anyone can share this beautiful song?
Also, ITS MY BIRTHDAY (???) from MAKE IT BIG. Where to find this song? It's in Korea but some sentence in English....It's such a catchy tune.
Thanks...
