park seo jun

move on already

in a desperate attempt to MOVE ON from seo jun’s dramas, because i desperately want to watch something new by him but none as of yet…i resort to the next closest thing to him. his hwarang brother park hyungsik. but not watching hwarang (coz what’s the point, it will be rewatching seo jun still right), instead, its strong girl bong soon.

and i am enjoying it so far. i realise i like watching funny korean dramas like this. considering the one that got me ‘hooked’ in the first place was Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo…..wait…what is it with me liking funny witty strong girls?! :O

yaaa, it was not seo jun who got me hooked on korean dramas, but certainly got me hooked on everything seo jun.

i am slowly returning back to my self when it was before seo jun. when i really don’t care about personalities, actors and actresses, no matter where they come from. like i can have a favourite drama or song, but i never saw the need to know their personal lives. except for a few. even then, it’s not like i stalk their social media every day. whatever comes up at IG lah. i miss my old me haha.

please know i am writing nonsense as of this post is merely because i wanted to bring up some writing mojo. its not because i really want to write about seo jun…although…it could be something ‘nice’ to write about also haha. watching his dramas on repeat made me noticed things, like you know, how people point out mistakes or inconsistencies along the way. oh well, when i really have much idle time then.

nowadays i also need to have some writing mojo because…..academic writing! here i come!!

2019. be nice.

i have been sitting at this very exact pose for a few hours now. contemplating on whether to catch up on work, or do a blogpost, or simply watch another of park seo joon’s series….. the latter of the three won over and i am watching, or rather re-watching She Was Pretty for the …hmmm… i lost count. my only rationale was i had been watching it through Viu, but then it suddenly became available in Netflix, so why not increase some view rates through Netflix as well, huh?

please do not judge, i woke up early today (to my own perception of early). had breakfast with hubbylove, and did a bundle of chores to start the new year! it feels good, i think i missed doing some chores nowadays, because i had a tremendous amount of blaséness these days and some inexplicable form of what i perceived as pseudo-anxiety.

i know in the back of my mind the long list of tasks i need to do work wise, but i feel stuck and was not sure where to start, what to complete first. ended up, i ‘reasoned’ out to myself that i do not need to do anything at the moment, it can wait, nothing too urgent, but deep in my heart, that flutter of ‘God! i need to complete this now!’ is always there. and then i cower again, and slip into weariness. sigh, when is this teenage angst going to end??!  or gasp!  is it middle age crisis already?! i keep telling myself it is ok to slow down at this moment, because you can foresee there’s no slowing down in 2019. for about a few seconds, the self agrees before guilt strikes.

i want to move away from doing any bestnine2018 or resolution post 2019 on a new year’s day, I’m going to be indie and take my time doing it, or not do at all, or semi-do it. i am also putting an IG-detox on myself for the next two days maybe. that has been somewhat a self imposed tradition for the past 6 years or so. well, i have issues, forgive me. and i don’t want to hurt myself, or others, by scrolling through photos i don’t want to know. the photos or updates will still be there when next i recover from the detox. so no harm not being up-to-date or live-updated. I’m happier this way. this excludes my girlfriends though. but they usually share in wa groups and then we’ll squeal and scream emoji style! while i still be zoned out in my workspace.

welcome 2019. be nice.

ps: when did my blog keeps on featuring seo joon’s face already?! what are you? 15?!

pps: promised myself to start blogging p.r.o.p.e.r.l.y soon. wait, is that a resolution?

chronicles of evil

nothing important. you can skip this post coz it’s not worth reading unless you’re ok with me unbecomingly babbling about a korean movie.

goodness me!

what is this shocker?! our boy plays a villain?! and good at it?!

i have been searching for chronicles of evil and having a hard time finding it, when alas, found it in an online streaming which annoyingly always stops at random moments to allow for meaningless pop ups. my gosh, this site really test your patience!

its this seo joon-a obsession i have and was determined to watch every drama or movie he acted in. so when my sil (nonetheless!) recommended this website, i decided to catch up on youn’s kitchen 2 and two old dramas he played in (which were not available in Viu/Netflix) before moving on to Chronicles. this was, perhaps since two months ago.

and today, after finally finishing through a painstakingly dreading drama One Warm Word and just skipping on scenes just to get to Seo Joon’s parts, and worthfully looking handsome and fashionable in his winter coats and that uniform. and that hairstyle. sighhh….

fully knowing the pain and frustration of this site’s annoying pop-ups and rewinds, i brace through the best for last. a 2 hour movie became 3 hours of sorts because it jammed on me a few times!

what do i know? only korean movies can have these twisted plots without anyone guessing in the first place!! it was a ‘WHAT??!!’ moment for me when it was finally revealed who he really was towards the end. and then i go HOW COOL IS THAT?!

quite a cool detective story, but simple plot actually. a bit of mental twist that doesn’t even look like it’s supposed to be psycho, leaving us guessing what is happening all the time. just when you thought you get the answer or the culprit, you can almost hear the director says, nope, we’re not done yet…we’re just revealing the name now, there’s more to come! the heck! and just when the camera zooms in to seo joon’s dong jae’s true self reveal, my heart skips a bit. like how can a villain looks so handsome and innocent (and gay, that’s the impression though).

ok. no spoilers. i like it that he plays in this movie, and acted with long time actors who had a string of movies to their name like train of busan’s Ma Dong Seok and Son Hyun Joo. the next movie star in the making – Seo Joon.

i’m excited for his Saja/The Divine Fury.

and with that… life with seo joon pauses until the next drama and/or movie.

seo joon-a

please keep an open mind. laugh if you will. i prefer that.

i feel like a 15 year old (was that 20 years ago??). but this is my current silly obsession.

and it’s his birthday today. and like his thousands of fans. i want to wish him a good birthday, health and happiness and hope for many successful years. already i am rooting for his next movie. until then, i will keep on repeat mode his past dramas and movies.

please don’t get married yet. 😛

or maybe marry anyone else. not pmy please.
