☊ eye candy: song joongki 제 2 회 ☊

So sue me, I am totally in love with Joongki's flared nostrils. I can't help it.

He sports this singular look throughout the entire first episode of 뿌리깊은나무 and I'm still floored.










Sure, this spazz is coming in toooo late despite my anticipation of Joongki's role ... Been really busy the entire October (gmarket 때문에) but I finally got around to watching this.

I think I'm instantly hooked on the drama if only because of the undoubtedly most drop-dead gorgeous king ever in a historical series! The screencaps were almost automatic. Capturing Joongki's close-ups helps me not break out into hysterical kyaaaaaaaa's in the middle of the heavy storyline...













Now, folks reading all this spazzing might not get the correct idea about this new historical drama. I do think I've seen my fair share of historical dramas from the epic Dae Jang Geum to the not so recent Dong Yi. Up front, 뿌리깊은나무 Deep-Rooted Tree is quite different because it gives a mystic sci-fi impression which is definitely not very traditional of these historical pieces. I get a CSI/Heroes-feel to it. And this is probably one of the most awkward comparisons ever but I fail at envisioning anything better as I am detached from most of the US series lately. Bottom line is, if Deep Rooted Tree aimed for a fresh first episode, I'm saying it clearly and cleanly achieved it. I am also not minding having Jang Hyuk open the drama with his devilish good looks ... but maybe more on that later.

I obviously cannot do a fair review about Joongki's acting except to say that some people might not love the flared nostrils as much as I dig it. But I still have to say that Joongki played his pathetically helpless role to perfection. You almost want to shake him senseless from his powerless scenes ... but yeah, that's just me being too involved.

Looking forward to the next episodes and more Joongki ...

꽃미남 라면가게 is just perfect!!! Just the kind of light rom-com to start watching this late autumn. Episode 1 even has the cutest title in the world ~ "누구를 위하여 좋은 울리나" "For Whom the Bell Tolls". The dialogues are just as cute too! Those which make you smile stupidly knowing how cheesy yet sincere they are ... "I still trust my heart ..."

And of course, the abundance of pretty boys makes this drama just a tad bit irresistible.





I absolutely love how this girl uses her 꽃미남 score system! And ohhhh, Jung Ilwoo is just tons adorable here!






Can't wait for more!

☊ happy #SuJu6thYear ☊

6-years can mean different things for different persons ...

For me, I can only think back to this:



And my first balloon:


Some of my first fansigns ...


And those which I collected through time:


Some of the happiest moments in my life by far:


And some of the most challenging:


Some which literally made my heart skipped some beats:





And one which I just cannot describe:


No, that isn't worth 6 years yet ... but it sure feels like it.
Watching the boys from the sidelines, chanting along video streams, voting endlessly, laughing crazily at their dorkiness, and supporting them on everything from this distance ... screaming, spazzing, crying, dying, laughing, loving ... each moment feeling like an eternity even though it lasts momentarily. But each day ends with a promise for more love and the next day begins with my alarm blaring one of their songs. Another day to become a fan and not one second of regret about it. That's how I'll continue to do this for 6 years more and longer ... Until sapphire blue balloons fill the world. And perhaps even beyond that.

I am only one fangirl. But I am celebrating 6 years with these amazing boys and millions of their amazing fans.


I can only be grateful.


Happy #SuJu6thYear. To idols, to fans, to fanservice, to singers, to artists, to friendship, to brotherhood, to sincerity, to love.... Cheers!

I'm coincidentally strengthening my Jaejoong bias by accidentally stumbling across an eng sub copy of Heaven's Postman. And of course Jaejoong close-ups are always delightful.



What a beautiful non-ghost he is. I vote him for the coolest, smuggest, most devastatingly handsome angel-postman in the world!









Spazzing aside, I enjoyed the cinematography on this film. I wish I'd find a pretty bright red mailbox in the middle of a luscious green field. And the animated doe-eyed puppy at the mailbox ... Ha! Where in Korea can I find that? I thought the story was a wee bit too complex though and it would've been nice with less twists. I can almost hear Project Runway judges call for a bit more editing. I sure could have done without the "Heaven" sign on each of the headrests of the mysterious bus. But yeah, I never take those things too seriously since I'm neither a film critic nor an undergraduate writing a reaction paper. Is it entertaining? Yes. Is it worth my fangirl time? YES. And that's enough to make me a happy audience.



As for Jaejoong's acting, Heaven's Postman certainly makes you want to see more of him ~ I mean more FROM him :) in a positive way of course. Is he too pretty to play too funny a character like Jang Geunseok or Song Joongki? 글쎄 ... It seemed to me that I remembered his witty scenes the best ~ like the "Ajik? Ajik. Ajik Ajik? Ajik Ajik Ajik. Ajik Ajik~~" And he did so well being mildly funny and uptight in Protect the Boss. So no one can blame me for yearning for a really funny lead character from Jaejoong ... soon ...



Note:
So yeah, I've been on a Korean movie marathon these past weeks ❤. There's a lot of fairly recent and not too recent kmovies that I wanted to watch but didn't have time nor the appropriate resources for. Weeks of waiting on Gmarket ticketing allowed me to catch up on my must-see movie list quickly ^^.

I want Lee DongWook on a romantic comedy (drama/movie) NOWWWWW.




I think he looks absolutely dorky when he's trying to or just naturally being clumsy and funny.




The dorky concept fits him better than the obedient boyfriend one ㅎㅎ ~ just saying!
