So Ji Sub's Birthday

Today is a very special day... no it’s not because of Unity Day in Russia, or the Flag Day in Panama or even the Blessed Teresa Manganiello day…. Today is a special day because it’s my favorite actor birthday… Happy birthday So Ji Sub!!!

(NOTE: I know that problably is 5th Nobember now in Korea, I would like to post it in the right date of his birthday but there was a conspiration here where I live and a blackout was the responsible for my delay, I'm really sorry)

생일 축하 해요 So Ji Sub!!!

I believe if you have read one of my posts before you will realize how much I admire So Ji Sub, he is a talented actor and musician (he is handsome, intelligent and rich too ^^). Of course I don’t know the real So Ji Sub, his is discrete when the topic is his personal life, but I can’t avoid falling in love with his professional life (it’s a pure kind of love, the one from a fan to an idol, not from a woman to a man).

So Ji Sub doesn’t know me either (such a shame, he doesn’t know that he is missing a wonderful friend), but I believe that it’s important receive the support of his fans in moments like that, it’s an anonymous feeling of love and respect.

Normally the actors have no idea how they impact someone’s live, like me for example, I started studying Korean after watching the drama “Oh My Venus”, now I’m studying Korean, I writing a blog about it and I have made several friends (my Kakao Talk Korean friends… love you all!!!!). It’s impressive how a good work as an actor can be so powerful to a fan. So, I hope So Ji Sub keep doing his amazing work!!!

I won’t enumerate here the reasons I have to admire him as a person and as a professional, after all I wrote a post about it some weeks ago, but I wish all his dreams come true and that in the future we can have more and more of his wonderful work on dramas and music.

Oh My Venus - a light dorama, a heavy story

Oh My Venus was the first dorama I have watched and it was responsible for my new addiction in Korean culture, to be honest So Ji Sub played an important hole in Korean addiction, his perfect face and body and the “aparição” of his abbs totally captivated me. However I'm not such a superficial fan, the story and the acting skills of the whole actors involved also caught my attention.

The story goes around Kang Joo Eun (Shin Min Ah), a beautiful girl in high school that changes a lot while time passes by, she became a lawyer but her life is falling apart (professional and romantic life), then suddenly she meets Kim Yeong Ho (So Ji Sub), a fantastic and mysterious personal trainer. So she begs him to train her and help her to become the beauty she was once… I’m sure you can imagine what happens later, well, let me just tell you that you will fail, this story is unpredictable and adorable.

At first the plot was funny and light, the kind of drama that diabetic people  should avoid, but almost in the middle of it an unpredictable twist made this dorama one of my favorites. The funny plot received deeper aspects of their lives, exposing traumas and scars that are responsible for their personality, the way they see the world and each other.

If you are looking for something funny and dramatic, romantic and sad, you have found a good option, so just organize your time and watch it. I bet you won't be able to stop it.

Now let's talk about the actors and their characters, the first one is So Ji Sub! He is a brilliant actor and singer, during this drama he shows a cold side that could make your heart froze and melt at the same time and there are many shirtless scenes (my favorite one is in the first episode, in a bath!!!!).

Now the female part…Shin Min Ah... she was fantastic during the whole drama, her acting abilities were improving every new episode, I was able to laugh and cry with her and the light transitions of these feelings were admirable. She was responsible for future choices of other doramas, and I can say for sure that she didn't disappointed me, not even once.

There are other character around the principal couple and their stories are so fantastic as the principal one, when you realize you are wondering what is going to happen with that character and start suffering with them too. That's unusual, normally you just get attached with the main couple, all the attention is dragged to them so naturally, but in this drama you will found out that everybody has secrets, love and traumas.

At the end of it you start wonder why there are so few episodes in this dorama, it's almost a crime don't produce more of it. As you can see I won't tell you what's going on in this dorama, I hate spoilers,  so dear reader, it's up to you watch it and fall in love just like me.
