I'm going to tell you some questions about the biggest mysteries in my life. First why do I like nerdy guys who seem so not into me since I’m a nerdy too? Remember the opposite attract? Ha, ha, ha. Second why do I like boys in preppy shorts? Maybe is it because they look nerdy in those? Dunno. Ha, ha, ha. Third I always love a picture or photograph of willowing grass or reed, why is that? I draw as a hobby, and I draw a lot of those. Van Gogh becomes one of my favorite painters probably because he drew many filled with willowing grass landscape paintings. Is it because they give me such a quiet peacefulness? Is it because they seem like understanding what is loneliness? Eeep, who knows. So you know why the photoshoot found its way to my blog. :)
Can you feel the wind?
Lee Jung-ki looks exceptionally young in these photographs. Who will think he’s almost 40 years old. Me? Naah. And those shorts he wears, they give geeky vibe which of course I like it. Shorts usually work well with sneaker but they try to go against the current and go with the dress shoes. Some of the cloths look they are back from 90 ties. But 90 ties fashion is back in full rage this year. I don’t really get what this photoshoot are about. As you know, I love themed photoshoot. I don’t get it why he must roll around on the road? Is that he wants to kick something into the air? In some pictures he looks so detach, in some he looks like want to engage with the audience, and in some he looks menacing. I wish they left the pictures colored, instead of making it black and white. Let’s keep the grass green.
I kick...
I roll...
And roll some more...
I'm ready to be a profiller
Speaking about Lee Jung-ki, I think I have been following him close enough and long enough. You know, not just giving side glance. But strangely, I don’t think I’ve finished his dramas except My Girl in which he’s not even the main lead. The only I-almost-finish-it drama, for I’d watched it till more than two third of the episodes before I dropped it, in which he stars it as a main lead is only Joseon Gunman. I don’t think he’s bad actor, he’s good. But I’ve watched The King and The Clown. It is a movie in which he plays an effeminate clown who has seduced and has been seduced by the king, Yeonsangun. I remember he doesn’t have much dialogue there. But still he’s impressive.
Black and white done right
So yes, he got the up-coming drama to air. It is the remake an American serial, Criminal Mind. K drama probably has more luck in remaking American shows than remaking drama or movie from any other countries. I think A Good Wife is good. But Entourage is bad. So it is fifty-fifty chance here. I’ve been taking a break from rom-com these days, though I still can tolerate romance drama and romance melodrama. I watch more case procedural, mystery, and thriller dramas now. It is just not the season, darling rom-com drama.
I don’t follow American shows. Hey, my schedule is packed with Asian dramas. I watch CSI/NCIS occasionally since they are provided in my cable TV. The last American show I followed religiously was The X Files. Bwa, ha, ha, ha so old schooled I know. But Mulder and Scully is my ultimate OTP. So I don’t have expectation or can’t make any comparison. For all I know Criminal Mind is a show about a group of profiler working for NCI, solving cases included psychopath, serial killer, and terror crime. K drama with case procedural genre has the tendency to get carried away with one big criminal case that pinned one big bad villain as their background story. K drama also emphasizes on the personal story of the character and relationship between the characters compare to American shows. I don’t know how Criminal Mind K version will work on these differences. Will it follow the custom or try to experiment with new format closer to the American show? I don’t have any preference, each format has its own charm or I don’t become K drama addict at the first place 😛 Criminal Mind will premiere on July 26, at TvN, as Wednesday – Thursday drama.
P.S: I love well planned show! Don’t look at the bad example (Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo or Saimdang's Light Diary) but look up the good ones (Forest of Secret or Descendant of The Sun) K drama!
