Ha Seok-jin Plays The Professionals for Luxury

I 💜 the quirky, playful vibe. I love the theme too. Gah. It reminds me the play professionals in kindergarten. Usually parents of the children or sometime just other professionals out there are invited to the school to tell the kids about their profession and what they do in their job that they're doing, so the children can have aspiration about what they want to do once they're grown up. Though in this one is not that Ha Seok-jin looks like he is really that professional but he is like a kid trying to be an adult by playing a professional. Ha, ha, ha.

There're other things I like from this photo shoot. He seems to be there to have fun, not merely to get the job done. I always love an adult with child curiosity in his/her eyes, who looks at the world through a child's eyes. Everything is new adventure. Everything is possible. And every day is a new start. Oh this photo shoot also tries to represent all kind of professionals those run rampant in K drama-verse. Listed based on the tendency we meet them on K drama streets and offices 😁 They forget The Detectives and The Polices.

Ha Seok-jin: The chaebol (in every K dramas ever)

Ha Seok-jin: The Doctor (Doctors, Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim, Live Up You Name, Emergency Couple, and I lost count 😀)

I know Ha Seok-jin has been around K drama verse since forever. He starts from a small role, not even second lead role that had gone unnoticed by me. I don't know he was in Can't Lose and Hello! Miss until recently. He started to capture my interest In Once Upon a Time in Saengchori, and came to the headlight in the remake of 1% of anything and Drinking Solo. He is so good in playing an upright, prickly brat. I'm afraid he is type-casted to that character type, but it is only three times he has played it (1% of Anything, Drinking Solo, and Radiant Office) in which he was excellent in them.

Ha Seok-jin: The Prosecutor/Lawyer (Secret Forest, Can't Lose, Pride and Prejudice, Suspicious Partner and I lost count too 😆)

Ha Seok-jin: Law Student (Love Story in Harvard)

Ha Seok-jin: The Programmer (Lucky Romance, Cunning Single Lady)

Ha Seok-jin: The Teacher (Drinking Solo) 

Ha Seok-jin: The Tailor (Laurel Tree Tailors, Fashion 70's)

I have no wonder why people want to cast him with such role over and over again, because he made us sympathized with the character for otherwise it grates our nerve. You know what I love the most when he played such kind of character, the look in his eyes when he starts to think about to do some petty things. The eyes are filled with childlike playfulness instead of intention to do harm to other. Gah, I love it. In these photos I can see such glimpse coming from his eyes. That is why these photos is irresistible for me. It is a match between the photo-shoot concept and the photo-shoot subject. What is Luxury? Is it a fashion brand? A furniture trade name? A new-trend-of-standing-office life style? 😃 I don't care less. The paradox of good themed photo shoot sometimes it elevates the products, make it fancy and classy, sometimes it makes us forget the purpose of commercial photo shoot is to sell something. But for this is the Ha Seok-jin's effect really 😃

Ha Seok-jin: The Writer (Chicago Typewriter, It's Okay, It's`Love)

This year is coming to end soon, all the drama slots have already fully packed. Probably this year, he won't have another drama to air after Radiant Office and the last year success of his two dramas, 1 % of Anything and Drinking Solo. Radiant Office failed to lure me in because I wished more slice-of-life tonal from it that it didn't have. I wonder what his next project, no I mean his next character that he will take 😛
