I've never really thought about wax dolls before but now of course I'm curious. At first I thought that the drama must be about the concept of beauty as Shin Hae Sun is extremely beautiful. But I searched the internet and discovered that wax dolls can be very creepy looking. They seem to go from very beautiful, to almost grotesque. So this drama could be a strange one. Hope to hear more about the storyline soon.

There are so many nightmares going on in this world, but the news that Shin Hae Sun has Covid 19 is, for me, currently the top of the list.  I was hoping she was triple vaxed but it seems she just recently got her second shot. Thankfully she is in good care in Korea and Omicron seems to have milder symptoms than previous variants. She is on the cusp of dominating her craft and she is such a positive inspiration to everyone who observes her. I'm sending all my positive thoughts to her until she is completely cleared. Please recover soon without any suffering.

Thanks Ni Wen for the TMI interview. Her hair is different, parted right down the middle with her ears poking out and it seems straighter than usual. I like it. It's great to see her again. The subtitles seem to be in Korean which is strange since she's speaking Korean. Maybe for deaf people? I have read bits and pieces of English translation elsewhere. I'm excited that she still wants to play an evil villianess role someday, although it would shatter the general image of her in my mind as she's such a nice person. Must be her alter ego. She is usually more of a victim than a victimizer. Maybe some producer will finally hear her. 

 

 

I guess she's covid free now and back to work on Brave Citizen. I also assume that it's a go for See You in my 19th Life. Still haven't heard anything official but after this long I think they would only announce if she has backed out. Anyway we have a lot to look forward to over the next year or so.

Well that was quick! It's only been 4 months since they announced Shin Hae Sun's interest in See You In My 19th Life, and now they suddenly announce Ahn Bo Hyun's interest in the male lead role. Maybe in another 4 months they'll actually accept the roles. 

 

Sorry to be sarcastic but I'm seriously looking forward to this project moving forward. The tiny bits of feedback I've read about this casting news is that Ahn Bo Hyun is the wrong choice for this role. He's too macho for such a sensitive role. But I think his acting skills are being underestimated. Also, imagine how pumped he must be at the prospect of working opposite the great Shin Hae Sun. 

 

SHS has mused more than once about one day playing an evil character. Does anyone seriously doubt her ability to pull that off? Even though her filmography has her almost always cast as a sympathetic character, I can already envision her as a sinister psychopath. She would nail it for sure. (Maybe Wax Doll?)   So it will be for Ahn Bo Hyun. He will transform before our eyes from what we think we know about him to what he knows we don't know. Makes sense right?

 

Can't wait for whatever the next SHS project is that hits the screens. Hope anyone reading this is healthy and well. Cheers.

Kinda agree with Ahn Bo Hyun's vibe, I haven't watch Yumi's cell so I didn't know how he acted in that drama. All his previous and current role always show tough characteristic but I think he act well so let's see if there's any future news.

What I'm wondering right now, does She's Dead and Open the Door finish filming ? Kinda weird Brave Citizen already finish filming.

It surprises me that dramas, which can be 16 or more episodes that are usually an hour or more in length, can be broadcast within a few months of casting, but movies, which are just one episode of maybe 2 hours, seem to take about a year or more to be broadcast. Especially since some dramas seem to be just as high quality as some films.  Perhaps my standards are weak and my expectations are too high. Or I am just naive. 

 

Of Haesun's 5 confirmed and tentative projects, 3 are movies and two are dramas and the dramas are not confirmed yet. So even though I'm super excited by all of them, it seems to me that the screen time for Haesun in 2022 is going to be sparse unless something starts happening very soon. 2022 is already 1/3 over so I think 2023 may be more active than 2022. In addition, Wax Doll, a drama nobody knows anything about yet other than Haesun being offered the lead, will likely extend into 2024 at this rate. 

 

There is also a trend towards making dramas shorter, with 8 or 12 episodes instead of the usual 16. I sure hope Haesun's dramas buck that trend. More screen time not less please. I think Mr. Queen with 20 episodes spoiled me. Well, My Golden Life, spoiled me more with 52 episodes. 

 

I will certainly appreciate whatever I can get, but right now all I'm getting is overly anxious. Not that I'm complaining. I feel privileged just knowing that I will sooner or later once again get to see the miraculous acting of the incredible Shin Haesun.

“Maybe that’s why you started to cry when you saw me. Because whatever the song was really about, in my head, when I was dancing, I had my own version. You see, I imagined it was about this woman who’d been told she couldn’t have babies. But then she’d had one, and she was so pleased, and she was holding it ever so tightly to her breast, really afraid something might separate them, and she’s going baby, baby, never let me go. That’s not what the song’s about at all, but that’s what I had in my head that time. Maybe you read my mind, and that’s why you found it so sad.”

 

Then Madame said: “That’s most interesting. But I was no more a mind-reader then than today. I was weeping for an altogether different reason. When I watched you dancing that day, I saw something else. I saw a new world coming rapidly. More scientific, efficient, yes. More cures for the old sicknesses. Very good. But a harsh, cruel world. And I saw a little girl, her eyes tightly closed, holding to her breast the old kind world, one that she knew in her heart could not remain, and she was holding it and pleading, never to let her go. That is what I saw. It wasn’t really you, what you were doing, I know that. But I saw you and it broke my heart. And I’ve never forgotten.”

 

 

 

“when we lost something precious, and we’d looked and looked and still couldn’t find it, then we didn’t have to be completely heartbroken. We still had that last bit of comfort, thinking one day, when we were grown up, and we were free to travel around the country, we could always go and find it again in Norfolk.”

 

 

Never Let Me Go

See you in Norfolk

In a week we will be closer to the beginning of 2023 than from the beginning of 2022. News about Shin Hae Sun and her acting projects is as scarce as ever. I know this will change once one of her projects gets closer to being released but hurry up please. It finally appears that production of See You in My 19th Life has begun despite no official confirmation of the two main actors. Now I know what not to expect in the future. I think that SYIMNL will start airing in late 2022 and cross over to 2023. Who knows for sure with any and all information sealed in a locked vault at the bottom of the ocean.  Like all her fans I'm a little impatient but as long as she hasn't quit acting I will be eternally grateful. Some day the sun will shine again. 

 

While I selfishly hope that Haesun has been spending a lot of this time pouring over new scripts and new projects to keep us entertained, I really hope that she is spending some of this time nurturing a real personal relationship with someone she loves. I put her on a pedestal and honor her like a goddess but she is an earth bound human being just like the rest of us. As she approaches her mid thirties with an illustrious career behind her and even more illustriousness in front of her, I hope she is having lots of private fun doing things with friends and lovers that will be among her most precious memories.

 

I have no idea if anyone reads this forum anymore, I have my doubts, but it helps me from time to time to put my thoughts about my favorite actress into words. Since she has literally changed my life in some ways, I owe her at least that. Cheers.

It picked me up, knocked me off my feet
I've got no way to explain
Still I love you, love you, love you but this fire inside
Will never see the light of day

 

So everyday goes by (everyday)
And everyday I fall (everyday)
It makes me wonder why (everyday)
My life's worth nothing without you 

 

But everyday I say I'll try 
To make my heart be still 
'Cause every way there is to cry 
Ourselves to sleep, we will 

 

You'll never know, no, no, no, no, no
You'll never know just how close we were
You'll never know, no, no, no ,no, no
You'll never know
No you'll never see

 

And so the light fades away (everyday)

Try, try, try as I may (everyday)
I can't stop thinking about you (everyday)
It seems my life's worth nothing without you

 

But everyday I say I'll try
To make my heart be still
'Til then every way there is to cry,
Ourselves to sleep, we will

 

Everyday, everyday you know I try so hard
Everyday, everyday it gets a little harder

And I don't know why 
Why do we keep holding on 
I don't know why 
Pretending to be oh so strong 
Oh why 
Is there something I don't know 
Or something very wrong, with you and me 
Or maybe 

 

That's the way it is, there's nothing I can do, 
That's just the way it is. 

 

They've been waiting for word to come down 
They've been waiting for you night and day 
They won't wait any longer for you 
It may already be too late 

 

And I don't know why.

You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you had to loose
You don't know what love is

 

Do you know how a lost heart fears

The thought of reminiscing
And how lips have taste of tears
Loose the taste for kissing

 

You don't know how hearts burn

For love that cannot live, yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
How could you know what love is, what love is
What love is

I'm A Fool To Want You
Pity Me I Need You
I Know Its Wrong
It Must Be Wrong
But Right Or Wrong
I Can't Get Along Without You


Time And Time Again I Said I'd Leave You
Time And Time Again I Went Away
Then There'd Come The Time When I Would Need You
And Once Again These Words I'd Have To Say


I'm A Fool To Want You
Pity Me I Need You
I Know Its Wrong
It Must Be Wrong
But Right Or Wrong
I Can't Get Along Without You

If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer
I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight
Your lips red as flame
Your face with a lustre
That puts gold to shame!

 

But if I'd ever leave you
It couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn
I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air
I know you in autumn
And I must be there

 

And could I leave you
Running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
When you catch the fire's glow?

 

If ever I would leave you
How could it be in springtime?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! Not in springtime!
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!
