Meme time!
Mar. 28th, 2011 04:05 pmI am totally squandering away my day off. I have done nothing today. Nothing! My attention span is too short today to watch k-dramas and/or movies, apparently, so, MEME IT IS.

Last week I watched a bunch of Park Shin Yang films. Dude makes me cry in every single one. He obviously hates happy endings or something. Seriously though, he was amazing in The Letter, but good god did it make me bawl. It was just kind of cruel to set up this beautiful, happy marriage and be such a lighthearted, sweet movie and then BAM! What you've been waiting for finally happens, and it breaks your heart even though it's what the summary told you the movie was about. And then I watched A Promise, where he got to be both super adorable and totally badass, and of course the ending was tragic, because it's about a gangster falling in love with a doctor, but, you know, it wasn't nearly as tragic as The Letter, so, yay? The movie itself was pretty awesome. I also watched White Valentine, which was okay, but not great. I feel like that would have been better as a drama than as a movie, but I guess I think that about most romantic Korean films. Or maybe I was hoping it'd be more of a romcom? I don't know, but at least the ending wasn't sad. And somehow I ended up watching The Harmonium in My Memory, which doesn't contain Park Shin Yang (the star was a very young Lee Byung Hun), but it was about a teacher/student romance (sort of) and I really, really enjoyed it.
But anyway, my appreciation of Park Shin Yang has gotten stronger after seeing a few of his films. There's another one that I plan on watching soon where he plays twins, one's a police officer and one's a gangster, and I'm really looking forward to that one. I've loved PSY in his various dramas, but dudes, now I see why he's more loved for his film roles than his drama roles. He's awesome. And I really, really love him as a badass mobster. ♥
