Watch HONG GIL DONG!!

It's a super nice, funny and exciting show!! But irritating mysoju doesnt work all the time so i'm still stuck at epi 12 gahhh!!



The lead actress! Super cute! Totally suits her bubbly and naive role in the show.

This is the 2nd male lead-the crown prince. He's actually not bad looking. I think he's wearing eyeliner in this show!


The male lead! err.. dun ask me why i chose such a cui picture of him... hahaha but here he's super heroic k... kena captured and tortured for helping the poor and to save his teammates(band of thieves)!
He's like Robin Hood! Wouldn't say he's handsome but he attracts all the girls in this show cos he's not just all brawn, he's brainy too and has a strong leadership qualities and a sense of righteousness! I'd fall for him too~~ Hahahah!




I think Korean shows now have the trend of separating lovers in the story by making them think the other one is dead... and sacrifice love for the sake of a 'greater' cause. In this show, the Male lead escaped death but decided to feign death so the whole world thought he was dead. Including the female lead, who loves him dearly. He continues life living as a bandit, robbing the rich, corrupt officials to help the poor.
He could have let her know that he was still alive.. but he wanted her to think he was dead... cos he had to live life as a fugitive. He didn't want her to lead such a hard life i guess.. so he wanted her to forget him and move on with life.
These kind of situations always sets me thinking....Is it really better living a peaceful life, but without the one you love? Or is it better to live a dangerous life but with the one you love?
If you were him, would you have made her go through the pain of losing someone she loved deeply.. thinking it would be better than letting her risk her life to spend it with you??
From the looks of the show(up till epi 12)... He should have just showed himself sooner and save her all the pain man! On the surface.. she lives normally and happily... but deep inside.. there'll always be something missing. Will living life like that really be better for her?
Irritates me that those people in the shows are soooo sure this will make the other's lives better.. but it doesnt! Only gives each other more pain. Apparently.
I came across a synopsis for ep 14.. and its totally making me curse mysoju for not workinggg! (ok i dint really curse k.. later deb scold me ah lian again)
That's where i got the pictures. hahaha.. yea so by then, The girl alr noes the guy is alive.. but he still tells her to let go of him. Why? Cos he says that he will have to keep worrying for her..worry that she will put herself at risk to help him... and that will pull him back from doing his mission. She might even have to watch him being tortured and die.. and not be able to do anything about it. It will be painful for her.. to watch him and keep worrying about him putting his life at risk all the time.
Hmm..sometimes i really wonder if love is more of a feeling.. or is more of a choice. Of cos whether or not to be with someone is not just based on feelings alone.. But what about liking someone? like if you make up your mind not to like somebody.. will your heart follow? And sometimes you don't even choose who you like.. your heart just tells you.
Ok back to the show-
Very complex huh..
Irritating dilemma isn't it?
Sometimes ignorance is bliss i guess.. i dunno what i would have done if i were her..but i guess i wudnt be able to ignore it.. even if it hurts. Better to know the truth even tho it hurts?
Well just to spoil the show... the girl shows that she is strong enuf to take it and stands by him anyway!! You go girl!!~ hahaha
Gahh..I really hate the idea of making your loved ones think you're dead tho. Altho it does make the show more appealing.. lol.. but i think the idea is just... pure... EVIL!! Making your loved ones go through the pain of thinking you're dead is just.. about the worst thing one could ever do. I can't take the idea of separation.. even temporary separation hurts. And death? The eternal form of physicial separation? *shudders*
If i were the girl.. and i found out he's been deliberately hiding himself from me all this while.. I think i would've just slapped him!! *BISH BISH BISH* Haha no la........
maybe i'll hug him first.. den i'll slap him. XP
I also don't think i will choose ambitions over people. I mean.. look at Hong Gil Dong.. ya he's doing good.. saving lives.. helping the poor.. but call me selfish.. i rather make 1 person i love happy and... who cares about the hundreds i dunt even noe! hahaha ok well.. i dun have the 'greater calling' or 'greater goals'.... and i'd rather not have it if it means sacrificing the people who are dear to me.
Ok enuf of my rants~
GO WATCH HONG GIL DONG!
