Park Shin Hye & Hyun Bin Offered Lead Role in SBS Healing Drama

On January 17, industry representatives reported that the actress has been cast as the female lead of upcoming SBS drama “Yeowoo Gaksibyeol” (romanized title). In response, her agency revealed that she has received the offer, but her appearance is not yet confirmed. She is currently waiting for the script.

“Yeowoo Gaksibyeol” is a melodrama that tells the story of a man and woman who meet in Seoul and help each other heal their pains as they experience music, food, and people. Park Shin Hye has been cast as the female lead Seo Hye Won, who was left alone in the world at the age of 18 when her father passed away while trying to save someone.

The drama is written by Kang Eun Kyung, the writer of “Romantic Doctor Kim” and “Gu Family Book.” It will be directed by Shin Woo Chul, who previously led “Secret Garden,” “A Gentleman’s Dignity,” and “Gu Family Book.”

“Yeowoo Gaksibyeol” is expected to air in the second half of 2018 via SBS.

I would like to see Hyun Bin on screen! It's been quite long after the mild disappointment in Hyde, Jekly & I few years ago with Han Ji Min. It's not because he is not good, but I guess the storyline and the writing makes it hard to hit the games. But now, it's a good time to hit the screen again after the successful of Secret Garden and gain the international recognition again with Secret Garden PD as well. I hope this drama would be the best choice for Hyun Bin's comeback.

Considering the pairing with Park Shin Hye, it's gonna be worth waiting for. You know, Park Shin Hye was recognized for her acting skill in Doctors and it's gonna be awesome if they both could make it.

Meanwhile, I was also thinking about Hyun Bin co-star Ha Ji Won from Secret Garden. She seriously need to work again with Kim Eun Sook or at least choose a good project & pairing to gain the recognition again. It's been quite a while, start from the disappoinment in the remake of In Time With You (not because of her character, but because of Lee Jin Wook) and this time, Hospital Ship is way too long maybe, even though Ha Ji Won stands out amazingly. Maybe it's just the Korean reception is not that good, or timing factor in airing makes it hard. It's hard nowadays to achieve high rating, unless a weekend drama like My Golden Life. Park Si Hoo is really lucky. LOL.

Go Lala Go II 杜拉拉追婚记 - Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou & BoLin Chen Review

Go Lala Go II 杜拉拉追婚记 is a 2015 Taiwanese romantic comedy-drama film directed by Andrew Chien and starring Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou and Chen Bolin. The film is based on a novel and is a sequel to the 2010 film Go Lala Go!. It was released on December 4, 2015. I almost forget about the existence of this film, till finally I found the OST on youtube by Janice Yan which I really like the song, and decided to give it a try for this film. Since In Time With You reign, I always love Ariel Lin as the female lead in all Taiwainese Dramas. She's like my role model in every aspect of her character life, such as Chen You Qing in In Time With You (我可能不會愛你) and also in this film as Du Lala. She's such a strong willed woman who is very charming in her own way, maybe I could say, she has that kind of elegant aura which suit her best as the most charming female lead. 

Last Time, Ha Ji Won also tried to do a remake of In Time With You as Chen You Qing in The Time We Were Not In Love. however, I would say, I still like how Ariel Lin portray her character very well, which makes a deep impression on me. Thus, I believe, she would pull her character really well in this drama. 

In this film, Du Lala (played by Ariel Lin) starts a new career in a new position after company restructures. She is 33 years old and has been dating Wang Wei (played by Vic Zhou) for 6 years, waiting for marriage proposal from him - which she never hears at all. Wang Wei was a Director in the Company before he decided to quit his job and pursue the job he wants, as a photographer. When Lala asked him about marriage, Wang Wei said that he is not ready for marriage yet, which upset Lala so much, thinking that he is not ready for marriage because the woman is Lala, not because of anything else. However, Wang Wei has such inferiority complex against Lala. He thought he has to success first before he proposed to Lala. Thus, they both put a stop on their relationship for a while, to calm down and think more thoroughly. 

However, one day, Lala encounters a handsome and successful client, Chen Feng (played by Chen Bolin), who proposed to Lala even though they just know each other through job only for a month. She then broke up with Wang Wei. When Chen Feng asked about marriage right in front of her, Lala is in a dilemma between love and career.

This is really a good topic to go through. Many woman of course would want to get married in her young age - ideally between 25-29 years old. In our society. getting married late would be a huge pressures, specially for the woman. I believe what Lala has gone through is quite the same with us all. When her mom called her, asking about whether she will get married to Wang Wei really stressed her out. Of course, she is being chased by time - to get married and start a family; but Wang Wei doesn't even has that idea at all.

I understand why Lala was so upset. She even said that being on top on her career is not her objectives - what she wants is to get married and make her own family. That's when I reliazed, even when she has boyfriend who is 6 years together with her, there is no end with the question, "When?" - "When do you have boyfriend?", "When are you two getting married?", "When are you guys having the first baby?", "When is the second baby?" that all question is a never ending one.

But when Lala's career leveled up, she has her client attention, even Chen Feng also proposed to her, although they only know each other for a month, Chen Feng is sure that he wants Lala to be his wife. As Lala has said, "Maybe you could meet your Mr.Right after a break up."  she is truly in dilemma, which one she has to choose? Getting married fast as what she wants from the start, her career, or love which is blind and has no power?

Lala ended up choosing love. She rejected Chen Feng's proposal, saying she woould regret it one day. But she has to stay true to  who she is, whom she truly loves and what she truly wants. In the end, she said that even though she has her career, but she is not happy - she is not truly happy. What makes her happy is being together with the one who stole her heart, even though she has no career at all. She is just happy with being together, travelling the world, having a cup of tea at such cafe and enjoy the night sky at the beach.

When it comes to such conclusion, it makes me wonder that maybe we should find that one person who would make you feel complete. Not because we want to fulfill our own objective then we just do anything without considering what we really want and what our heart has to say.

"When you truly meet you true love, there is no need for any preparation, because you do and just want to be happy with that person."

Wings - In Time With You OST

In Time With You OST

翅膀 - 林依晨

Wings by Ariel Lin

你说会 带我遊整个地球

You said you would take me to go to the entire Earth

我们要在一起 直到最后

We should be together till the end

有你保护我 心都可放了

Because there is you who protect me, I can put all my heart in peace

手已牽了 天更遼闊

Holding hands, Sky becomes wider

因為有你陪 我的世界不再黑

Because of you accompany me, my world is not black anymore

我的天空 有你從此不再亂飛

In my sky, you will always be there and I won't fly anywhere

你就是我的翅膀 陪我到前方

You are my wings to accompany to go onwards

讓我學會了雨和雷後 一定看見彩虹

to let me learn about rain and thunder so that I can definitely see the rainbow

你就是我的翅膀 帶著我飛翔

You are my wings that will bring me to fly

累了之後有你為我取暖

When I am tired, you will be there to give me warmth,

讓我更勇敢 更堅強

to let me become more courageous and stronger

I translate this by myself.

Actually, I don't know whether I use the correct english words to describe it.

However, I am sure that the original lyric in Chinese is much more meaningful.

I love the song :)

Just hear it and you'd know.

The part of "We should be together till the end"

really describes Chen You Qing and Li Da Ren :))
