Lee Minho drama marathon - Faith Aka The Great Doctor

 I love Minho-si's image in Faith! So manly! LOVE!

 The ever lovely Kim Hee Sun! She doesn't look like a mother of one, does she? She's the 1st Korean actress whom I like! The very 1st Korean drama that I watched was years ago starred her & another korean actor, Kim Suk Hoon. 

At 1st, before I like Minho-si, I watched "Faith" because of Kim Hee Sun, on & off though. But now, it was because of Minho. Haha! The same reason for watching "The Heirs". :-P 

Kim Hee Sun & Lee Minho had such good chemistry despite their big age difference

Okay, I must say that this is most manly role amongst Minho-si's dramas. The reason I reckon was because the fact that he acted as a warrior. He still looked very boyish, like a boy in the previous dramas - Boys Over Flowers, Personal Preference & City Hunter. I find that his transformation to manliness was from this drama "Faith" onwards. 

His character in the drama, Choi Young was a tortured soul before he met Kim Hee Sun's character, Eun Soo who was a modern day plastic surgeon, kidnapped by him and travel back in time, 700 years in the past. They fell in love with each other later on.

I'm completely mesmerized by Minho-si's expressive eyes & brooding look in the drama. I like the way he's protective of Eun-Soo, the way he keeps his promise to escort her to the portal gate, his simple gestures of love as like a husband to his wife like packing her clothes for her & combing her hair. I think I've fallen in love with General Choi Young! haha!

I watched an interview Minho-si did with a Japanese programme, on the drama "Faith". He revisited the filming location & shared his filming experiences of the drama. Filming was difficult as at times, the temperature soared upto 40 degrees! & he had to wear the thick & heavy armour. Oh man, it must be been really taxing on him! :O He had to learn horse riding & sword fighting too for a few months. He's really a diligent & hardworking actor plus serious actor. :) In the midst of the hardship, he seemed to be able to keep a positive attitude. Watched behind the scenes clips of him & Kim Hee Sun joking around, teasing each other and playing games. He's quite a playful chap. It must be fun having him around. :-D I hope to see him acting in more light hearted dramas though rather than the heavy ones. It will be nice to see him in a comedy role or something! ^^

Next Minho-si drama to watch - "Boys Over Flowers"! 

Maleficent

Angelina Jolie is Magnificient as Maleficent!

I've always been a big fan of Angelina Jolie & of course I wouldn't miss watching her play the Classic Villian from a Classic Fairytale, wouldn't I? 

Maleficent tells the story of the villian in the Classic Fairytale "Sleepy Beauty". On how she turned evil because of betrayal from the man she loves, how she was blinded by vengence & cursed his one & only lovely, sweet & innocent daughter, Princess Aurora, how she was won over by her kindness & regretted the curse that she cannot reverse & how she turned good in the end by saving her. In a twist of the original fairytale which Princess Aurora was brought to life by the kiss by a handsome prince, she was awoken by the tender motherly kiss by Maleficent instead! Oh yeah, the prince tried to smooch her but no respond @all. The 3 fairies panicked & shouted to him "You are not doing it properly!". Humourous! LOL! 

This story twist reminded me of another Fairytale inspired "Frozen" (Snow Queen). Princess Anna was too brought to life by the kiss of her sister, Elsa. So I reckon the moral of the story actually is "You don't need a man to save you." ;-) And also true love doesn't necessarily mean the love between a man & a woman. It can mean kinship & friendship love as well too. Interesting! 

Goodbye Mr Sexy Back!

One & Only photo took with our Operations Manager during his farewell dinner party. He looked so sexy with Scottish Kilt! :-P Many of us ladies took turns to take photos with him. He's quite a ladies' man with his gentlemanly manners. & apparently his wifey I reckon seeing how popular he was with the ladies, got jealous & hinted "He's mine!" :-D  

Our LR office bid Goodbye to our beloved Operations Manager, Marc last Friday as he left for Aberdeen office with his family. He will be missed dearly! Will miss especially his smile, his soft spoken-ness, his gentlmanly manners & charisma. 

Take care & Wish you all the best in Aberdeen, dear Marc!
