[mslee's thoughts] Kang Koo's Story - A Beautiful Drama

I confess that I am currently obsessing over Lee Dong Wook so I have been watching his past works like Scent of a Woman, Wild Romance and My Girl. Recently, I just marathon Hotel King. The reason I am watching Roommate since it's pilot episode is because of Lee Dong Wook. 



But his charm really got me after I watched him in Hotel King, so here I am, scouting for more of his dramas. I came across this short drama Kang Koo's Story and really, the story is simply beautiful. The soundtrack, the cinematography and the plot development are all nice. The ending may be sad but it is where the real story was revealed and started. The love story is poignant. It touched the soul long after it ended. Well, that's what has happened to me as the viewer. It haunts me, affect me in ways I can not explain. That's why I watched again for the second time because I can't get enough of the drama. 

I find it difficult to let go of the love story between Kyung Tae [LDW] and Moon Suk [Park Joo Mi]. Simply nostalgic. Who would have thought that it all began long before Kyung Tae started loving her in his own way. Moon Suk knew him all along. But then I think Kyung Tae already had an attraction towards her even before he realized that she was his friend's noona [older sister]. The sudden responsibility towards another two individuals became a lasting relationship. 

More than having to own the responsibility because of guilt, I think that Kyung Tae fell in love as he tried his best to fulfill his friend's dying wish. A story of a gangster who has a heart. A story of becoming a new person. A story of becoming a better person. 

I did a lot of screen caps of Lee Dong Wook but then I decided to include other characters and scenes from the drama. I really recommend this short drama. 

This is a two episode drama.

Final episode [20] ... Recap... Tae Sang agreed to marry Seung Jo. SJ excited. MD went to TS office, talked with TS then SJ came in and TS announced to MD they are getting married. MD, a bit surprised or not, with her poker face [but there is conflicting emotions there] congratulated the couple. MD dreamed of TS...in the bookstore, they were still together happily bantering at each other. Woke up, found it was only a dream. Went to their old home, to the bookstore, realized it's not real and stared with tears at the chalkboard, at the bookstore. [regret is written on her face] TS and Tae Min went to mom's shop, mom cried seeing TM. A small family reunion followed. Wedding pictorial for the couple. Yong Gap told SJ about what really happened to the missing person whom TS mom eloped with. He died accidentally when he fell on the stairs. MD and JH talked and seemed like breaking up. [well, what they did was wrong so they surely won't be happy toget

[mslee's thoughts] Ep. 15 & 16 - Secret Final Review

Image
Honestly, I was not so eager to watch the final 2 episodes. Why? Perhaps I know the story is nearing it's end and there'll be no more Secrets to look forward to next week, Why do great dramas end so fast? Hmmm...sighing here. this is somewhat long... Episode 15 Anyway, last week's ending was another cliffhanger for viewers. The question hanging in my mind was, will Do Hoon win in this game he planned? Yes, it is like a game of hide and seek, hiding secrets and seeking the truth. Yoo Jung finally had the courage to go on and file a complaint against DH for abandoning her father leading to his death. Even as she warned him that she will go through with it, DH was initially shaken but he did not let her undermine him. He was afraid for himself, the reason he gathered all the documents that will make the two companies shake. By this time, DH knew what he had to do to survive. Se Yeon was clouded by her obsession, not even considering what those documents will d

[mslee's thoughts] The King's Face Episode 23 Final Screen caps and Review

Image
Finally I am writing my thoughts on episode 23. Even in this last episode, the King never took time to understand the heart of Prince Gwang Hae. It was so easy for him to think that Prince Gwang Hae will take his seat away from him. Yes, Gwang Hae admitted thinking of being a King but it does not mean he has a mind that could be accused of treason. Prince Gwang Hae advised his father that it should be the people he must worry about and not his face because what happens to the lives of the people makes a King's face. The King has not had the face of a king until now because he lacked the understanding and the heart of what his duty entails. His people are not happy and still suffers that's why those transcend to him as the King who over looks on them, giving him the face of not suited to be King. The advise was so honestly brutal that the King's anger to Gwang Hae made him ill and the fact that  the poison Ga Hee mixed with his tea already s
