Finding a person to talk to about the topic that excites you
is so difficult in this growing world of possibilities. I have always had this
problem ranging from the music I like and the words I connect to. One such
field is the KDrama world. It’s always interesting when you find a twin head
with the same thoughts hovering. Luckily I got in touch with one, after almost
7 years of dissolution. It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is, KDramas
never fail to entertain you. A place where all your crush experiences keep
rejuvenating. Best part? They don’t leave anyone hanging. Everybody is treated
(if you know what I mean :P) Lately I, like so many others have found my new
bias (typical term) in the Goblin star – Gong Yoo :*
Today I met a drama fanatic as I promised to share some
dramas and the first question that the person asks me is, ‘that goblin actor;
isn’t he is a bit old?’ and I go turning heads with a weird expression trying
to hide the rage (it wasn’t all that steamy though because I have already been
asked as to why all my crushes are above the age line). I then nicely explain,
that he is ONLY 37 and ‘you should have seen him smile in ‘Coffee Prince’’
That
one line kept resonating for the next hour and I feel the need to defend him. (Before
I start, I thank that person sincerely for asking the question because I
finally get to write about something after almost 2 months of blank spaces.
Khamsamnida :P) I had never really put a thought as to why I liked him so much
but now that I think of it, there is a list. So, here it goes.
💓1. What is the definition of
‘old’? In the drama ‘Goblin’, the lead Ji Eun Tak (or Goblin’s bride as we know
her) calls him ‘Ahjushi’ (elderly man) all the time and everybody loved it. If
old means wrinkles, then no, he hasn’t reached that phase yet. If old means
cracked voice, then no, it’s sheer melody. If old means dislocated and crooked
limbs, then dude! He is NO where close to it. And if old means age, let’s talk
about it over a glass of wine.
💓2.The physique is
marvellous and the sensuousness is exceptional. Who wouldn’t want a piggy back
ride clinging to those shoulders? (excuse me while I drool)
💓3. One quality in men that
most girls would agree to be a major turn on is ‘husky’ voice. The dialogues
from Goblin are already ringing in my ears. (Cheos sarang ieossda )
💓4. Pretty face is not
difficult to come by, what I seek is personality. And he works fine in both the
department. The humbleness and his choice of words he uses (in his interviews)
made me fall for him over again. The kind of vibe he exfoliates is fresh and light.
💓5. In another of his
interview he was asked about what he thinks about his fans and the people who
fall for a celebrity. Normally celebs say that the fans should not confuse the
actor with the character he/she plays because it isn’t them. What he said was,
‘People accept when somebody says they have fallen in love with someone at
first sight. But people laugh when somebody says they have fallen for a celebrity
whom they saw on the screen. The latter is normal too 'coz after all we’re also
humans.’ He gives fangirling a green signal. (couldn’t find the link to the interviewL)
💓6.The age? Mark Twain once
said "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't
matter." Nope, it doesn’t.
💓7. One of the most important
things in Kdramas – Kiss scenes (rated 5 on 5 myself (by mere visuals of
course(sigh!))). Okay, I know it is not going to make any difference but treat
for the eyes is important too.
💓8. His name. His real name
is Gong Ji Chul but he goes by his stage name, Gong Yoo which is the
combination of his dad’s and mom’s family name (that is so freaking cuteeee).
How many times have we seen somebody do that?
💓9. Acting, that for which he
is famous. Be it Coffee prince, Finding Mr.Destiny, Big, Goblin or A man and a
woman, he is outstanding as always. On top of that, he can sing! Mmmm mmmm…
💓10. HIGHLIGHT – His smile.
Instant mood lightener. My day can go from worst to ‘one of the best days ever’
in seconds.
💓11. He is single :P (as if
that would make any difference)
💓12. Honourable mention- the left eyebrow lift. Sassy!! He winks and then shys like a teenager. Awwwwwww!!! How in the world can you not fall for him? just how!!
Why surpass all this just because of a
number? Just why? He is a package and fans all over the world have approved of
it.
P.S: Hopeless fangirl in the making.
