wow i dont know woo shik can be a charismatic lead actor. and i love the actress too. but today i want to focus more on woo shik character as choi ung. he is the average guy that in his schooldays consider as a stupid, dont have future and just depending on his family's fortune.
but as we all knows, it is not possible that stupid average guy is the one that will turn into somebody famous, somebody rich and such in the future. that happen to choi ung, as he seem like the banksy of south korea. the difference is he draw building and scenery, not a controversial drawing like banksy.
anyway later that we know actually this character have multiple layer to be discovered. the reason why he seem to be the guy who settle with anything, dont have future planning is because deep inside, he is still nobody. he feel he dont deserve to be loved by his kind & rich adoptive parents and perfect woman like yeon soo, he dont deserve his wealth that he gain by drawing...all because his dad abandon him when he was little.
actually before he meet yeon soo, he is a quiet guy that like to be on his own world. in the interview of what his planning for 10 years ahead, he just want to have a quiet and peaceful life. this fact might despise yeon soo because she is the kind of person that have to struggle in everything because she come from a poor family. thats why she hate ung at the first place because she thought ung is the kind of brat spoil child that dont know the meaning of responsibility. she even left him because she is the responsible person who will not burden others with her problem. clearly she feel she cannot depend on ung that seem childish and not matured.
but it is good to see how ung character changes. well deep inside he is not a childish guy. he is actually a very complicated, caution guy. he actually have a future plan for yeon soo but sadly have to change it because of their break up.
and i can see myself in his character. very cautions and calculative, seem like free spirit & dont bother much but actually have really complicated way of thinking and act. and the fact he only allow few person to be on his side, is a sign of a reserve character.
this is the second drama that relate to the people who seem to have no dreams. yeu reum is a city girl who feel fed up with her job and life. she decide to take a break, healing at one of the beach in the countryside.
so she quit her job and toxic collegue, pack her things, rent out from her house and take a bus to the beach.
if you asking me, i can guarantee this is the dreams that all career people have in their mind. it just there always something that hold us to do this kind of escapism. Example like we are having debt and it cost us a lot if we suddenly jobless and went missing.
yes, yeu reum hit rock bottom and decide she want to take vacation, living with whatever she have. that is a big risk i tell you.
then she met dae beum, the genius guy who decide to have a low key life working as a librarian. he is a pure introvert who seldom talk especially with strangers.
i can see that this drama promote people to have a low key life in countryside and stop chasing for money and whatever the current world is chasing right now. in yeu reum character, she take many bold decision that i cant agree or maybe can be said not suitable for me. first she quit her stressful job with toxic colleague without any back up plan. YOLO people would disagree with me but lets be real. i am not some kind of princess or rich people that have much connection. so who going to save me if i am in big trouble. i only have myself. therefore ladies and gentleman, at the very least, we must prepare a back up plan. yes, we can abruptly quit out job but then we must plan what to do next with carefully. but then still it is good to see people make brave decision like that.
my conclusion about these two drama is sometimes it is good to not have dream. i dont know, sometimes i am tired of people telling me what to do but never really understand my situation or mt personality. i want to live a simple life with the people that i love. emm seriously, i think i can live on my own and still be happy. if some motivator come to me and said "what is your dream? you must work to make your dreams come true". well dude, i dont even have a dream. so go away and dont disturb me with all your 'motivation words'.
so yeah, i am rooting for people with no dreams
