Taking A Dare! -Asian drama Style Day 26 to 31!

Day 26: Drama character you’d actually want to be.

Me: Call me crazy but I wanted to be as cool as paksa’s son from Cruel City. I don’t mind the beat up as long as I get 9 lives and still looks good *giggle*. Another character as cool cucumber as paksa’s son is Kim Do Hyeong from My Beautiful Bride. Yes, I’m drawn to these calm, cool, badazz, and collective characters!

Mari: ahh this is hard!! I want to responsible with this choice…. But honestly, I have to go with Cheng You Qing from In Time with you. She had amazing fashion taste, a good job, a great family (sometimes) and she had the best man ever in Li Da Ren! He was her best friend & the one person that was never afraid to tell her the truth! We all need a Li Da Ren in our life 

Erl: Kim Hang-ah from The King 2 Hearts. She’s so badass but she’s also vulnerable and she has a cute puppy for a hubby.

Sada: Do I wanna be smart as Choi Seo Yeon, capable as  Miss Kim, fangirl as Sung Shi Won, unstoppable as Kim Hang Ah, devoted as Yuan Xiang Qin, lovable as  Chun Song Yi or just Makino Tsukushi? Hmmm…

Day 27: Your top three bromances in dramas.

Me: Dae Gil and Jun Choi in Chuno, Ki Tae and Yeo Reum in Marriage Not Dating, AND Dong Soo and Yeo Woon from Warrior Baek Dong Soo.

Mari: all the Reply series had excellent forms of guy friendships but 1988 had my favorite. Those kids adored each other so much. 

Erl: Yoon Yoon-jae and Kang Joon-hee in Reply 1997, Samcheonpo and Haitai in Reply 1994 and Yoon Dong-ha and Yong Soo-cheol in A Witch’s Romance.

Sada: Hana Yori Dango, Flower boy ramyun shop-Shut up flower boy band, Cruel City, School 2013, Bad guys…it’s easy to name boys.

Day 28: Your top three sisterhoods in dramas.

Me: Shi Won and Yoo Jung from Reply 1997, Bong Seon and Sun Ae from Oh My Ghost, AND Soo Kyung and Jin Yi from Let’s Eat

Mari: The 3 girls in The woman that still wants to Marry. I don’t remember them ever fighting over anything major. The first I need romance, also had 3 good friends. It’s sad that I can’t think of more. Female friendships are so rare in dramaland 

Erl: Park Gae-in and Lee Young-sun from Personal Taste, Na Bong-sun and Shin Soon-ae from Oh My Ghost, Sung Shi-won and Mo Yoo-jung from Reply 1997.

Sada: Protect the boss, Wild romance, Marriage plot…hmmmm…why is this difficult.

Day 29: Drama that everyone else absolutely loved and you absolutely did not.

Me: Descendants of the Sun. Seriously? *shrugs* Don’t shoot me, I’m just following my heart.

Mari: I don’t know how well loved it was while it aired but I constantly hear people praise it and I hate it with such a passion I want to throw stuff at it What Happened in Bali, then Full House

Erl: My Love From Another Star and no, I seriously do not want to explain myself.

Sada: I can’t say I hate it..but I never saw City Hunter. I was loved, I was indifferent towards, Blade Man as well. The list goes on…

Day 30: Caption a screencap from a drama you’re currently watching.

Me: Good Morning Call. A 2016 Japanese drama I’m currently watching from Netflix. *wink*

Mari: I’m currently watching Back to 1989 and this is the most adorable girl in the planet Zhen Zhen

Erl: Doctors. So far, still interesting in my opinion. Although I suggest a new title – Irresistible Hye-Jung or Guy Magnet Hye-Jung. It’s apropos.

Sada: The Good Wife – K version

Second Chance: Lee Hee-Won

Another underrated actress that needs more attention in small and big screen. I’ve seen Hee-Won’s last three dramas before her hiatus. I first saw her in Playful Kiss, and followed by Protect The Boss and My Fair Lady. I don’t remember her much in My Fair Lady, unfortunately. It must have been a teeny role. In Playful Kiss, she played Hong Jang-Mi, the annoying girl who had her eyes on Baek Seung-Jo. And in Protect The Boss, she played Yang Ha-Young, the uptight, evil-like secretary to the main lead. If you have seen these two dramas, you can tell how versatile Hee-Won is as an actress. From a snobbish hwaksaeng to an uptight executive secretary, she took her character very serious!

So, what do we know about Lee Hee-Won? She recently turned 24 on June 3. Ahhhh, youth… Her last onscreen work was for Protect The Boss which aired in 2011. And… that’s it! Big sigh… If you search her online, there isn’t much news of her except on her involvement with Protect The Boss. Yeap, this is all I managed to gather. This is by far the hardest post I’ve ever done since I couldn’t find any information of her. Why is it hard to find Hee-Won online? Her last role as Ha-Young was quite a success for actress this level, right? She had several screen time with the lead and second lead. What went wrong then? I’m afraid that she is simply another rising star that received her big break too fast but fell off the wagon… It’s been two years and no work on her pipeline? Could acting be her part-time gig? I don’t see any news whether if she’s attending university nor in training to be a singer. Hmpf, I’m a little bit frustrated… Did she give up acting? We don’t know and we will never know until she start resurfaces into entertainment world again. I hope to see her soon. I’d love to see her in Sageuk drama. She had a small role in fusion Sageuk Hong Gil-Dong. Her face seems to fit Sageuk-style drama. I don’t know, just my opinion… She deserves more screen time, that’s for sure.

As always, I will end the post with a song taken from the drama Hee-Won was in, which is an OST from Protect The Boss. The lucky song is sang by JYJ’s Jaejoong titled I’ll Protect You. This beautiful song is one of my favorite song from this OST. Enjoy!
