Am I too old to have a young celebrity crush? Nah. I'll never be too old for that.
The other night I got sucked into this Korean drama/ romantic comedy called Playful Kiss. It's cheesy, but I like it. The lead female character, Oh Hani, is a bit silly and daydreams a lot about Baek Sueng Jo (played by Kim Hyun Joong). She writes him a love letter and he returns it to her graded with a D- saying he cannot stand stupid girls. As luck would have it Oh Hani's house is destroyed in an earthquake so she and her father move in with some friends, which turn out to be Sueng Jo's family. I enjoy watching the interplay between the two as Oh Hani continues to be accident prone and seemingly destroys Baek Sueng Jo's life while he in turn learns to loosen up and have fun.
So who's the new crush? Well the character Baek Sueng Jo, of course. Or Kim Hyun Joong (김현중), the actor.
He has nicer hair than I do. And after looking at a few pictures it appears he changes his hair style/color about as often as I do.
Upon further looking I discovered he's also a singer in the band SS501, a Korean boy band. This is so typically not my style, but today I seem to like it.

I love it! Korean dramas are the best. I've been trying not to get sucked into them, but I might have to start watching them again. And I love Korean boy bands! They make me happy. I'm glad I'm not the only one. :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I'm so glad you like this stuff too :)
ReplyDeleteOh Windy, this totally made me oh so happy. I've been watching a Korean romantic comedy called Personal Taste which was kinda cheesy but I loved it. Neil of course gave me a had time about it, so much so that he guilted me into stopping in the middle of the last episode one night and when I came back to watch the rest the next day it had been removed from Hulu. I'm still going through with drawls and trying to convince myself that some how I will survive without seeing the 2nd half of the last episode :S. I'm so happy to know I'm not alone in my new found love for Korean Drama/Romantic Comedy.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just realized that your new celebrity crush is in Boys Over Flowers, which I'm watching right now. He has the nicest smile!
ReplyDeleteI'm about half way through Boys Over Flowers right now and I'm totally addicted to it! Doesn't Hyun Joong look so different in this show with the red/blonde hair? But that smile... that's what gives him away. I think I melt a little every time I see him smile.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I made this post and found 2 friends I can share this new found love with!
