#Han Ji Pyeong

[dee-hoku]

A graphite portrait I did last year of Hanji. I had it put in a picture frame once but my cat pushed it off the shelf. The frame was broken and since I'm a broke undergrad student, now I've got to peer through the pages of the dictionary every time I want to catch a glimpse of Hanji's face, like one of those real old portraits that were kept in books. 🥹

Wahaj Ali to the Rescue…

I have been in a Kdrama slump having barely watched 3 dramas so far. Dropped 2 and one is ongoing. I have been watching a lot of crime and dark series in British and American TV. Farzi is the only Hindi series I have watched in this new year and I loved it 😍

I have been craving good series from the subcontinent and asked a few folks on twitter to recommend Pakistani dramas. I haven’t watched them in last 7-8 years. So after 3 dramas, I started watching Tere Bin and got totally bowled over by Wahaj Ali’s Murtasim!

So I hunted for more dramas of his and am currently watching Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha which is also currently airing and his 2021 drama Ishq Jalebi. I’m so impressed by his acting, screen presence, charisma and charm with a capital C! The current craze behind him is reminiscent of the craze behind Fawad Khan a decade ago when people discovered Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hain. There is none like Fawad and he is an eternal favourite, but I’m totally falling for each and ever character that Wahaj is essaying with such finesse and panache.

Be it the proud and arrogant but hopelessly in love Murtasim

Be it the soft hearted, reticent Saad who harbours one-sided love for Maheer (literally watching MHPT only for him, cause the show is an utter disaster of a melodrama that reminds me why I don’t watch many series from the sub continent)

Or my favourite character of his right now - Basim from Ishq Jalebi. Basim is so flawed - he is immature, impulsive, stubborn, a tad selfish, sometimes a man child and even carries an inferiority complex but once he realises he is in love with Bela , he fights for it like no one’s business. His comic timing and dialogue delivery is impeccable - his dynamic with his parents is best part of the drama after his lovely, soft chemistry with the female lead Mahida. Her soft spoken, caring , mature Bela is the perfect foil to Basim. The drama is also so wholesome with fun characters that there isn’t a single moment of boredom! It reminded me of my favourite Marathi show Eka Lagnachi Goshta (The story of a marriage).

Wahaj Ali is playing 3 absolutely different characters in the 3 dramas of his that am watching simultaneously and I cannot believe it’s the same actor. The mannerisms, the voice modulation, the gait , the look is completely different. That’s the hallmark of a great actor ! Colin Firth, Fawad Khan, Kim Seon Ho were my biggest actor crushes that gave the most epic characters in history of TV viewing and now Wahaj has entered this elite list. Actors when they are on my screen, I can’t take my eyes off the screen.

Wahaj Ali has saved my 2023 TV viewing cause I have seen his filmography and his drama arc is so similar to Fawad’s that I can’t wait to watch his dramas. Fawad’s Ashar & Zaroon, Wahaj’s Murtasim and Basim are all heavily flawed characters and yet both these actors have made us ladies swoon and fall in love with them thanks to their amazing acting abilities and effortless performance. It’s an added bonus that his voice , his mischievous smile and the look in his eyes when he is in love is totally swoon worthy!

So until I find the right Kdrama again, this space will be reserved to obsess over the awesomeness of Wahaj Ali 😉

Kdrama rant

May be spoilers

So I started watching Kdramas and after a ton of wonderful, amazing, completely love kdrama shows, now I'm stuck with ones I don't care for as much, for certain reasons and so I must complain about them.

Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol

Second episode kind of threw me. Like I don't see the reason he'd just immediately give up his time and money to help a random person but I pushed passed it. And like I love them. And so this new twist of him being a high schooler, but like why? Why is that necessary? Why couldnt he be out of school as well? I don't care that he's younger but he doesn't need to be a high schooler. And I try to do research ahead of time to make sure I get my happy ending but I read a little more and I don't know. I'm still going to finish because damn it but they're cute.

---------

So I finished it. It was okay. Once she learned Joon's truth she never really got her sparkle fully back in my opinion.

Start Up

Yet again, did my research. I'm supposed to get my happy ending but sometimes finding out there's a happy ending isn't enough. Because, as I'm watching it, I want Ji-pyeong (Kim Seon-ho) to get the girl. I like him. No, I love him. And after watching other shows with him. I'm all for him. I mean at this point I don't enough about Nam Do-san but I'm not caring too much because Ji-pyeong. Hopefully I'll feel definitely as I continue.

But that leads me to

Hometown Cha Cha Cha

Kim Seon-ho is finally a lead in one of the ones I'm watching but ughh I'm not invested in the show. It's so disappointing. Like first why the hell does this guy have so many jobs and certifications? Umm please. Also, why is this woman so blatantly rude. You can't tell me she doesn't know how to respectful towards others especially since she's supposed to be this caring doctor who helps the people who really need it. But she goes around putting down the towns people as soon as she meets them and doesn't realize how she's acting is wrong? AND she's trying to promote her business?! Dumb. Does she have no social skills? I can't. I'm a little disappointed because I wanted to watch a Kim Seon-ho romance.

A Love So Beautiful

I know, I know. There's many versions and everyone knew the storyline but it's another one I don't get it. Woo Dae-sung. Come on. He's cute and kind. He's got it going on. I get she's had a crush on Heon forever but Dae-sung has me and so I just don't get it.

So at the moment I'm just aggregated with the Kdramas I'm partially through and had to vent my aggregation somewhere.

#hometown cha cha cha #a love so beautiful #do do sol sol la la sol #kdrama #start up #yeo hoe-hyun #woo dae-sung #kim seon ho #kim seon-ho #yeo hoe hyun #woo dae sung #han Ji-pyeong #han ji pyeong

The Childe (Movie Review)

hi omg. so i just recently watched the latest korean film from dir. park hoon jung, the creator of the witch film series, which is called "the childe". i am not a movie expert or anything so take my advice with a grain of salt. let's talk about the cons first. the pacing of the first 30 minutes of the movie, wherein the characters are slowly being introduced. it was a bit slow and unorganized. there were some scenes in the beginning that can be considered as filler scenes, which adds to the slowness of the pacing of the film, and the character of go ara was not really fleshed out well, which is a missed opportunity. now the pros. okay, the plot is simple with a few plot twists and there, pretty much john wick vibes except it's asian LMAO because of the main conflict of the show. i was a bit confused in one of the revelations of the show but caught up quickly anyway. next is the comedy. actually, this was one of my fears to this film. comedy being used in action films are usually forced, and a bit cringeworthy, but SURPRISINGLY, seonho did it naturally. the comedic timing was so smooth and i genuinely laughed. it's like the icebreaker for the seriousness of the film. no forced jokes. there could be some lines that are cheesy for other people, but it's still tolerable. and i think the what excelled the most in the film is the line delivery of each character, and how they contributed to the overall ambiance of the film. Each of the major characters had contributed enough in their delivery of their dialogues. However, i would like to emphasize two actors: kang tae ju and kim seonho.

kang tae-ju really did an amazing job for his character. the desperation and the fear of the character were obviously portrayed accurately by him, and he had such a good chemistry with seonho. his english accent is topnotch ofc. he has the potential to become the next thing. and now of course, kim seonho. the kim seonho. oh my god. never have i ever thought, that he would also be fitting in the action genre. throughout the film, i tried to observe if there are resemblance of any past characters that he did e.g. han ji pyeong from start-up and hong du sik from hometown cha-cha-cha, and guess what? there was no resemblance AT ALL. i mean why am i surprised he studied theater acting for 10 fucking years before debuting in a small screen. of course, micro-expressions were obviously visible throughout the film i mean come on IT'S GIVEN already. next is his American English accent. oh. my. god. i truly lost it when he delivered his english lines in the movie. he literally has the potential to become really proficient in english. god he was so hot. the thought that he probably only took english classes for a short period of time... oh my god. again, the way he delivered his comedic lines throughout the film was just *chef's kiss, no more further explanation on that. of course, that popular filipino line that he said on the film, i mean, as a filo, it wasn't that bad actually, particularly the first filipino line, the filipino accent was present. and lastly, the fact that he filmed this, only weeks or months after that unfortunate controversy, blows my mind. dealing with that kind of stuff is so mentally draining and could obviously affect one's mental health but no, he insisted. he needed to continue what he's good at, which is acting. his passion to his craft is honestly one of the reasons why i just fall in love with this korean actor everyday. he had to act like the RENT WAS DUE.

now, is the childe a MINDBLOWING korean film? obviously not. but this just paved the way for seonho's comeback, and the exposure for his versatile acting. he should, at least be nominated honestly. the childe rating: 8.0 of 10.

#the childe #kim seonho #kim seon ho #go ara #kim kang woo #kang tae joo #oh he is fucking back yall #this man's dedication... oh my god #highly recommend #movie review #korean film #he's so versatile i'm gonna cry

Kim SeonHo for ELLE Singapore May 2021 Issue - Full Interview

Kim Seon Ho Is On His Way To The Top

Caroline Suganda

For the uninitiated, Kim Seon Ho might seem to have emerged out of nowhere, but the South Korean actor's meteoric rise did not just happen overnight nor by luck. The humble and charismatic actor is taking over the world at his own pace.

If 2020 was a year that life came to a standstill for many, it proved to be the opposite for South Korean actor Kim Seon Ho — thanks to a TV drama role that singlehandedly propelled him to stardom: Netflix’s Start-Up. Airing last October, the drama had Kim starring alongside idol drama heavyweights Nam Joo Hyuk and Suzy Bae and told a story of young entrepreneurs trying to forge a path in the world of start-up companies. To his 400,000-odd Instagram followers then, the 35-year old was playing the second lead in his eighth TV drama; to his new followers, which quickly amounted to three million over the course of 16 episodes (two months), it was more like love at first sight.

It’s not hard to understand why. Kim may play the second lead, but his role as Han Ji Pyeong made him hard to resist. In fact, Han is what a 21st-century dream man looks like: A handsome, young, clever investor who is living in his bachelor pad overlooking Seoul’s Han river [read: loaded]. His backstory is equally compelling: An orphan with nowhere to go helped by a stranger — a grandmother who stood by him through the tough times. His cold and reserved demeanour was eventually overturned to show a warm, affectionate side, but alas, his narrative (albeit expected) left many heartbroken. But despite all that, Han emerged as the crowd’s favourite, topping the Brand Reputation Index for South Korean Actors last November (when Start-Up was airing) and winning the Best Emotive Award from the 2020 Asia Artist Awards, not to mention inducing fans to flood the internet to console each other over the heartbreaking ending.

Kim attributes Han’s popularity to his character. “Like in a fantasy, it’s a great rags-to-riches story. He has all the circumstances I wanted to experience and that’s what attracted me to this role. And I guess, that could be why viewers think he is really attractive too. I want to be as smart and capable as him,” says Kim, whose name has since become indistinguishable from Han’s — but not for long.

The way fans took the character of Han to their hearts is only matched by their recognition of Kim’s skill as an actor, leading to his well-deserved shot to fame that followed. Up is only the way to go, as Kim grows out of Han’s shadow to find his own footing. Soon after Start-Up wrapped, Kim returned to his roots as a stage actor. Earlier this year, he acted in Ice, a two-person play whose tickets were sold out within minutes. “I couldn’t even get any [tickets] for my friends,” says Kim. “I was in disbelief, but very thankful too. It felt great.”

In the theatre industry, Kim has already established his own fan base — rightfully so since he has been in the scene since 2009. In the past, fans would form a line outside the theatre to buy tickets, so much so that it would cause traffic jams. After the show, fans would wait around, hoping for a chance to speak to him, and he would always gladly oblige. “I was really moved by their support for me and I would always think about how else I can improve or try different things for my future acts. It was really enjoyable to meet and greet my fans then,” says Kim.

Stage acting was something Kim fell into after graduating from college. “I wanted to act but didn’t know how to start, so I decided to take a six-month break. One day, I met a junior of mine who was already in the scene and he asked why I hadn’t thought of stage acting when I love theatre so much. So, I thought: ‘Oh yeah? Should I give it a go?’” says Kim, who went for an audition that eventually led him to his first stint on-screen with a supporting role in the TV drama Good Manager (2017).

Whether on stage or on screen, acting has always been what Kim dreamt of doing. While it may seem to many that the theatre was merely a stepping stone to bigger things for him, the actor says that performing live gives him a sense of contentment the latter can’t replicate. “In stage acting, we can interact with the audience live, so we know their response right away. I think the audience contributes to the play as well because their laughter, or even the sound of their breathing instigates our next move or spurs us to do something more. That was an ecstatic feeling that I cannot forget,” says Kim.

In the short span of the last six months, Kim’s Instagram following has grown 1,150 per cent, and stands at five million strong now (as of press time). Congratulations are definitely in order. In response, he smiles shyly and laughs before saying thank you. “In the beginning, the numbers were going up so fast that I would randomly check my followers in the midst of filming — it was exciting. I am really thankful that [there are people] out there who show interest in me,” he says.

“Interest” is an understatement — “immense interest” is more fitting. Newly-minted fans who are converts after watching Start-Up thronged the internet to see more of him. Netflix quickly made 100 Days My Prince available one day after Start-Up wrapped, where Kim played the second male lead, an advisor to the Crown Prince. Video streaming service Viu even curated a playlist known as “Kim Seon Ho Specials”, compiling all of his shows to date, from Good Manager (2017) where he played a nerdy accountant and Welcome to Waikiki 2 (2018) where he acted as a struggling singer, to his first leading role in full-length series Catch the Ghost (2019) as a police officer. He also starred in a four-episode miniseries You Drive Me Crazy (2018) where he played an introverted artist, a role he resonates with the most. But what fans gravitate towards the most is 2 Days 1 Night, a reality-variety show series where Kim is a cast member. The show’s concept takes the six cast members on various 2D1N trips around places of interest in South Korea, while competing in missions to earn rewards such as meals and sleeping arrangements. The show, while having a certain format, is entirely unscripted, allowing the cast members to show their candid, spontaneous reactions when placed in surprising or stressful situations.

Indeed, 2 Days 1 Night is popular with Kim’s fans because they get to enjoy a side of the actor that they otherwise would not see. In the first episode (of season four, when he joined as a new member) which aired in December 2019, Kim entertained the viewers just by being himself — a variety show rookie who failed his first mission finding his way to the set after being dropped off at a random location, and came in last, or to be exact, 26 minutes later than the cut-off time. He also got caught sneaking in snacks (food is almost like a currency in the show) and demonstrated his unfamiliarity with the variety show cameras by back-facing them while surrendering said goods — all within the first 30 minutes of the show. In the same episode, fellow cast member Ravi (from South Korean boy group VIXX) said veteran cast member Kim Jong Min (who has been in the show for 14 years) predicted Kim would be a superstar. When asked about that moment itself, he says, “I felt really happy, and I asked [Kim Jong Min] why he said that, and he replied, ‘Oh? I just randomly said it.’ He said that I have a ‘good’ image. I don’t think I have become a superstar. I’m just very grateful.”

Kim must have been quite enthralled; after all, Kim Jong Min is more than just a fellow cast member — he’s also a role model. “He is much more serious off-screen, very self-aware and I would say, mentally healthy. By observing him, I realised that if I were to just change my perception on certain things, I would be able to overcome whatever problems I may face. I learnt how being mentally healthy is important and good for the individual, thanks to Kim Jong Min. For the past one year, as an actor and an entertainer, I’ve learnt a lot about the importance of having a good attitude,” says Kim.

It has been 15 months since Kim joined 2 Days 1 Night, a gig that has since won him KBS Entertainment’s Rookie Awards for Show and Variety. Sleeping alone on a deserted island, awkward dancing to Jessi’s Nunu Nana in front of the rapper herself, impersonating a baby dinosaur hatching from an egg — Kim has done it all. From starting off as a clueless and shy rookie, he’s now quick-witted and sharp, sometimes even initiating pranks in order to win. From someone nicknamed “Paper Doll” for his clumsy dancing skills, he’s developed into someone who won the audition to dance in South Korea’s tourism board video Feel the Rhythm of Korea: Incheon — a 2 Days 1 Night special project for season four’s first anniversary. But in the game of reality-variety show, strength and wit are nothing without luck — which he has no lack of, so much so that there was an episode loosely dubbed as “Kim Seon Ho’s Special” where he won almost every game. “My luck has been so good in the show and I think it’s probably due to the amazing people I get to work with on set.” These days, he looks forward to shooting the show, “It’s really fun!” he says. But what happens when he lost a mission, has to sleep outdoor or skip meals? “No stress at all. I feel very comfortable with the people I play and work with on set so it’s really fun.”

Luck is something that took the humble actor a while to realise he has. “I learnt that I’m very lucky,” he says. He attributes his luck to the fact that he has many good people who work with him. But luck wouldn’t have materialised without the faithful combination of opportunity and capability, which is what has actually brought him to the top. These days, besides shooting 2 Days 1 Night, Kim is busy with endorsement engagements for numerous lifestyle brands, as well as preparing for his upcoming drama where he will play the male lead against veteran actress Shin Min-A (our February cover star). A romcom drama set to launch in the second half of year, it is a remake of the 2004 movie Mr. Hong with a working title of Seashore Village Cha Cha Cha and Kim will play an unemployed, go-to guy in a fishing village.

Kim seems to have it all — he’s a TV actor and an entertainer on the rise, albeit a “late bloomer” which he acknowledges but he really wouldn’t have it any other way. He debuted in his first TV drama at 31 years old, almost 10 years late compared to most of his peers. But that doesn’t bother him at all, in fact he prefers to chart his career trajectory at his own pace and that often works in his favour. “If I were to go back in time [and change things], I wouldn’t have been able to debut at all,” he laughs. “I don’t think I was good enough to debut early [on TV], and I think now is the right time. I’m not saying that I’m very good now, but I think I’ve improved enough that I’m able to express my character well. Also, debuting later [on TV] helped me to form a good acting foundation, without being too arrogant or carried away.” It’s evident that Kim is a humble person, and also an endearing one. When asked if there is anything he can be proud of, “I don’t think I have anything to brag about in particular… Maybe my dimples?” he says with a laugh. “I never liked them when I was younger, but as more people complimented me [his nickname is Dimple Prince], I’ve grown to like them. I’ve got my mum’s eyes and so I love them since there’s a saying that goes ‘the eyes are the windows to the soul’.”

If 2020 was a career-defining year for Kim, 2021 is only going to be bigger. He shares that his wish is to hear someone say, “Wow, I could never imagine anyone else acting as this character apart from Kim Seon Ho” or “Nobody can play this role as well as Kim Seon Ho”. But ask anyone who has watched Start-Up, chances are they would tell you, Kim has already nailed that.

[theadusa]

So I finally was brave enough to watch Start-up. After the absolute meltdown a few years ago over this show I was far too afraid to watch. Full transparency, I hate second lead syndrome, and love triangles. So I went into this drama knowing that the second-lead is better than the first, thats at least what everyone was saying. And I was gobsmacked when I actually hated him. Like I hated Han Ji Pyeong’s character. I was shocked, I liked the actor, but oh my god I thought his character was needlessly cruel.  And he’s bad at his job, he’s a bad mentor. I work as a trainer for companies, and when you are mentoring or training someone you are both open to your trainee’s concern, your direct in your advice, while also being kind. That’s how people will listen to you, you connect with them, and he doesn’t do that for anyone but Del-mi. He’s a bad mentor. I’m only on episode 14 so it can change in the next 2 episodes but I doubt it. But the most shocking for me was I really liked the male lead Do-San, like he was my favorite character. Like yes he is complicated, but in a very compelling way. Why was I convinced he was going to be the worst male lead ever, when he is genuinely one of the most interesting ones. Like all that noise over this? Like I’m so baffled. Del-mi goes from okay to infuriating. And the drama is at its best when the Sansam group is together and Ji Pyeong is far away off screen. I’m just so baffled, like, why was everyone so up in arms over this? 

Also this is my opinion, you can have your own and that’s okay!

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "issalesnunes "?

About my name, there is nothing behind it. It's my first name (Isa) + my two last names (Sales and Nunes)

That's how I sign my drawings and I thought about using it on Tumblr too.

Hey! So, my top 10 might be slightly questionable since I really like BL and Crack Fics, but I can make a ranking.

The Enchanted Library, by Monochromatic

If you've read any of my previous lists, you'll know that I like MLP, despite not being exactly a fan of the couple in this Fanfic, I ended up hooked with line, bait and everything. For me this is a 10/10 story

Because i liked you better, by dreamer_of_dreams

I kind of watched the K-drama "Startup" and loved and hated it in equal amounts, but if there's one thing I fell in love with, it was the character Han Ji Pyeong. I couldn't accept his ending and ended up turning to Fanfic, and this fic is perfect. I always go back to it to read a specific part or just to read the whole thing again.

The Ghost of Heroes, by Enigmaris and ScarletNightFury

I kind of stumbled upon this Fanfic when it was still in its first 10 chapters, the Danny Phantom fandom was lukewarm and this story activated the desire in me and many others to start consuming DP content again

lex luthor's ascent from supervillainy to fatherhood, by halfagone (milkywxy)

At some point I started devouring DP Fanfic, but it's complicated for me to truly love it.

Hero Class Civil Warfare, by RogueDruid (Icarius51)

At some point between 2019 and 2020 I madly consumed BNHA Fanfic, mainly AU without any shipping as a focus and this was one of my biggest obsessions, I even created a playlist for this fic.

Yesterday Upon The Stair, by PitViperOfDoom

I especially like Fanfic, it combines two things that I love. The strangeness of death and the reinterpretation of canon events

Photos of the past, videos of the future, by Music_Feeds_My_Soul

This is one of my favorite crack fics, it has everything that makes me laugh.

Fire Walk with Me, by HibiscusTea9

I love Stardew Valley, and when I went to Ao3 looking for Fanfic about this game I didn't think I would find this masterpiece, it has the game's canon + super interesting couples + hatred for Mayor Lewis

Disassemble as Instructed by WyldOctober

This Fanfic can be controversial, a lot of people hate this ship, I'm not a fan myself but this story is so... incredible. Everything is well tied together and each chapter has a cover made by the author, you can feel the care that this Fanfic was made

he's a killer queen, sunflower, guillotine, by hoye

Did I mention that I like dubious crossovers? So... Harry Potter+Fullmetal Alchemist= a great and very unexpected story

I think that's it, I had to select my favorite Fanfics and I ended up leaving many out but it was cool to answer these questions

[muslimintp-1999-girl]

We all know Jenny wrote both Jere and Belly to ruin them both so bonrad could happen. Book 2 was series finale of the books after that they were happy and free of Conbad.

I have a lot of feelings about the ending.

Bonrad stans try to rewrite bonrad as healthy and loving while trying to make Jere into a villain.

They need to stop confusing a "it is what it is" ending with a "happy" ending and two people ending tgt as a superior ship.

I think there's a lot of nostalgia tying bonrad tgt. I don't think they're compatible in the present.

Jere is the one who helps Belly see herself outside of this summer house bubble.

Plus time being the only measure of a successful relationship just isn't it I feel. Jelly were very honest in their relationship. Some longterm and married couples couldn't be as open and honest as jelly were tbh. Like even with all her communication issues, Belly was still very honest with him and I have to appreciate her for that. So I don't like to label jelly's relationship as something that failed despite the breakup happening coz their relationship was a very happy and healthy one. Even Belly admits in book 3 that they really, truly loved each other and truly had the best of intentions despite of how things turned out.

Now that the objective part is over, I as a reader ofc have my own subjective views and I feel the ending was very unfair because it was only possible to achieve through character assassination of numerous well developed characters. And even keeping my bias towards jelly ship aside, it was super unfair to end Belly with an insufferable man who belittled her the whole time and made her feel insecure on so many occasions. Like idc if the narrative tried to sell the he loves her thing to me, I wouldn't acknowledge it as love if you behave that way to a person you claim to love. Both Han Ji Pyeong in startup (kdrama) and Conrad in tsitp weren't in love with the respective female leads (as they thought they were) and that's a stance I would always maintain. Both of these men were infantalizing the women instead of believing in/respecting their choices and agency. It's just that ofc startup was such a great show that handled its female lead beautifully and tsitp could never lmao.

The devil works hard but Han Ji-pyeong works harder

#he's completely surrounded by naivety/outright incompetence #and is trying SO hard to save all of their dumb asses
