As you know that my line of work requires that I partake in an entire week of night shift before switching over to day shift the next week. Imagine having to rinse and repeat that for another 4 years. Argh.Anyway today's another one of those the very long mornings along with a tiny part of afternoon that preludes before I drag myself to another bout of night shift. With so much time on hand and no feasible way to waste it, I've expectantly fell back on my DVD collections.
And look what I've dug up!
I gotta say that the DVD box has greedily horde up a decent amount of dust.
Yeah yeah I know so stop your yapping. Almost everyone in Singapore is done with this particular drama. But your mainstream comment ain't gonna stop me from neither watching nor enjoying it.
Instead of boring you guys to tears about the compelling quality of the drama, which obviously more than 80% of the population have already experience, some maybe twice or even thrice over, I'm just gonna stick to 1 particular character that I've come to love and adore.
Let me renew your acquaintance with her. I don't give a cow's udder about you already knowing so shut up and read on!
No one said I had to play nice. =)
They look so compatible together don't you think? You better nod 'cos my finger's on the trigger of a shotgun aiming at your head. And smile. That's better.
She plays Han Yoo Joo in Coffee Prince, an ex girlfriend of Choi Han Kyul who came back from New York after a breakup with her then boyfriend, DK. Returning to Seoul, she rekindled the flame of her relationship with Choi Han Kyul and adhering to general sentiments of us viewers, they patched up.
The most endearing quality I found in the role she played was that half way through the entire drama, she somewhat glean an insight into Choi Han Kyul heart and found a little love for Go Eun Chan there, she graciously move on, taking all in her stride. With quiet dignity, she embraced the hurt and smothered it with her love for Choi Han Kyul when most people would have conveniently started a very long episode of hollering and tearing at the first sign of unfaithfulness.
The defining dialogue that filled my heart with ache and brimmed my eyes with tears.
She said: (Chinese) 你只能受他一点点 wor. 不然你就死定!
Subtitles: (English) You can only fall slightly for her. If not you're dead meat!
Even in her moment of anguish she was putting his feeling before her own and tried to convey her slight jealousy as well as mounting insecurity across lightheartedly. Though it brought her much pain, she nonetheless spared him from guilt with her exclusion of her true feelings in her inflection as well as choice of words, going as far as lacing it with humor, albeit it was evidently forced.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T! When I grow up I just wanna be like her! 'Cept without the boobs and with my manhood intact, thank you very much.
Thank god she divorced her husband. Now I stand a chance!!!
For her and her only, a song to match her character's feelings.
我可以忍受
我可以忍受你不够爱我
我可以忍受你有别的梦
就算是编谎话哄我
至少你还在乎我的感受
我可以忍受眼神的空洞
我可以忍受你时间不够用
却不能忍受作了那么多
是她拥有我该得到的温柔
爱着你
是我改不了也不愿改的习惯
要放开哪有那么简单
了解你
是我说不出也不承认的悲哀
包容你
是我体谅的爱别当作应该
我可以忍受你不够爱我
我可以忍受你有别的梦
就算是编谎话哄我
至少你还在乎我的感受
我可以忍受眼神的空洞
我可以忍受你时间不够用
却不能忍受作了那么多
是她拥有我该得到的温柔
爱着你
是我改不了也不愿改的习惯
要放开哪有那么简单
了解你
是我说不出也不承认的悲哀
包容你
是我体谅的爱别当作应该
我可以忍受你不够爱我
我可以忍受你有别的梦
就算是编谎话哄我
至少你还在乎我的感受
我可以忍受眼神的空洞
我可以忍受你时间不够用
却不能忍受作了那么多
是她拥有我该得到的温柔
no.no.no
不要说对不起
原来你要的不是我
不要说谢谢你
什么你永远在我心中
can you tell me why
这样的我你也曾爱过
不是吗
我可以忍受你不够爱我
我可以忍受你有别的梦
就算是编谎话哄我
至少你还在乎我的感受
我可以忍受眼神的空洞
我可以忍受你时间不够用
却不能忍受作了那么多
是她拥有我该得到的温柔
是她拥有我没看过的笑容
That's why one shouldn't watch Korean drama the first thing in the morning. Now all you get is a digusting sappy blogger with mush for a brain.
Bah. Whatever.
