Japanese TV Series for Those Who Are in a Rush
Hi everyone! This is my first article. Be nice and have fun while reading this.
Now let's get started!
A Stalker's Guide to Jung Il Woo
Jung Il Woo - heard this name before? I hope so. If not, now it's about time for you to get to know this talented, flower boy actor and singer. He is 26 years old and and he was born 9th September. I was about 13, when I first discovered his drama 49 Days - he caught my eye from the start, I was addicted to him. He have the looks, he is young and he can sing well, which is big plus.
I downloaded all his songs and looked up all his dramas and movies. I was so happy, when I saw he played main role in a drama and he didn't disappoint me.^^ Now, when I see he have another new drama I just say to myself "yeah! I will watch it for sure!", because I can't get enough of him!
His charisma and humor are amazing. He can make you cry and he can make you laugh hard. I think that's how he is in person too. If you ask me, in which drama I loved him the most, I would have to think really hard, because every role of his is amazing and just...makes you love him. Even if his roles change: like in one drama he is depressed ghost and in the other a high-schooler, he is still the same Il Woo - that's what I love too.
In Korea Il Woo is a Hallyu star and he is communicating actively with his fans via Twitter, Cyworld and Weibo. So guys, if you have one of those and you are lucky, maybe he will reply to you!^^ How I wish I could talk to him face to face.Our flower boy star also won Asia Male Star Award at Beijing Huading Awards.
Now for the pervy girl's out there... yeah, i see you! He is also working as a model, so if you want to print his picture and stick in on a wall, you will have very hard time choosing the best one. Anyway I leave it up to you, if you like this actor or not. For me he is like an angel...He is with me in bad and in good times.^^
You love pizza? Now you will love it more!^^
49 DAYS
It was the first drama I watched with this actor. When I first saw him, I just fell in love! He was mysterious + very pretty! The drama was very sad, but it had hilarious moments too, and those moments were created by Jung Il Woo. His role was a little dark, as he was playing the Scheduler - who, practically, is the Grim Reaper. We can see all emotions this creature have...The drama perfectly shows his past and how he became the Scheduler.
You don't have to worry about getting romance with this drama - There are two love stories that will pull your heart strings very hard. At the end of the drama I clapped hard for Il Woo as he did amazing job with his emotions.Those tears weren't fake, but real.The sad love also seems so real tha it pulls you in, like you were part of the story.The music in this drama was sang by Il Woo too, so the scenes were even deeper. I still use it as my ringtone. The singing was very emotion-filled so you just want to sing along. But I'm not here to tell you the whole story, watch it for yourself. Let's get back to our topic and that is another drama of Jung Il Woo!^^
FLOWER BOY RAMYUN SHOP
Okaaayyyy so how I got to know this drama....? Well, you know those days, when you're craving for a particular type of drama? Well, that day came to me, and I was searching and searching, then I remembered that i loved that one actor in 49 Days, that I mentioned before...So I went and checked his drama list and whaaa his next leading role was in this drama. Just what I wanted! I was in the mood for a high-school drama with lots of humor in it and it seemed that Jung Il Woo did just that! So whooop I went to watch it...I must say I was cracking and rolling on the floor from laughter.
The supporting roles were funny too, but our main man- Il Woo - was the funniest here. His role as the prince of high school suited him very well. He was mean to his teacher (the main girl) and he was seducing her too! You better get ready for beatings and funny cooking... and this drama is great for people who are ramyun addicted:DOh You just want to see the way he did it! I was very satisfied at the end and I give it thumbs up. His emotions were, as always, great and he showed me after the crying in his previous drama, that he can do also a completely different genre. I think this man is capable to play every kind of role. Also he is very good kisser...Not like in previous drama, just lips touching, this was HOT and HOT! Pervy girls out there, you will droll!XD
THE RETURN OF ILJIMAE
Again my weird mood came to me, this time it was.....ninja mood... I was craving to see some action and fighting and...amazing, sexy. long-haired main guy. And what do you get, when you put this all together? The answer is: JUNG IL WOO! "Yes! yes! yes!" I was screaming, when I saw him in those long hair. First episode, as always in his dramas, got me hooked. There was action and a sad romance at first. He was such an innocent boy with cute feelings, but later he turned into a fighter, who showed me that he CAN protect his girl. I would want such a man to exist in real life, because it was amazing, what he did. His love was deep and so strong that even deadly mission didn't stopped him from getting back his love. So anyone who want to see a sexy ninja - watch this drama!
THE MOON THAT EMBRACES THE SUN
Yet another beautiful. historical drama with Il Woo. This time, it was a supporting role, but still he was amazing and stole a lot of screen time. He was in a love triangle and we could watch his sad love story again. Loving with his whole heart for years that one and only girl. I was kind of sad he ended up badly, without any love but...if he is left alone I can take him, right? Just kidding. It was sad, but his hilarious and funny side came up too. Maybe sometimes the humor was sad, but still...it was there. He played the role well and I hope he will have another historical drama, in which he will be the main man. During painful moments you will end up crying too, and you will curse him for his stupidity, but i think... in the end. he made the right decisions. Anyway, watch it and you will see for yourself. If you feel the same, just comment and let me know about it.
