"Making that decision to protect something will be a difficult task. And once you've made the decision, no one will know what the result will be either. Even after you've made that difficult decision, it's possible that things could become harder. Embracing someone with love doesn't always guarantee happiness. Making that decision is that individual's responsibility...I'm just talking about one person loving another person. The living person who has to go on living while loving all the hearts of those who haven't been born yet, or who've already left this world... has the most difficult task of them all."

~Tae Gong Sil

~Tae Gong Sil

"No matter what the relationship, no one in this world can ever fully come to understand the other person's world. If I act ignorant because of my lack of understanding, just take me for who I am, and be understanding."

~Joo Joong Won

"I might make things difficult for you, or become an inconvenience to you. But, I don't want to be sad and lonely without you. I'm going to remain at your side."

~Tae Gong Sil

Random Thoughts: "If I died today, what would my last emotion be?"

A while ago, I finished watching "I Hear Your Voice" and one of the scenes has been on my mind ever since. (If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. It has a little bit of everything in it, whether you like romance, comedy, mystery, suspense, family, etc., so definitely go and check it out.)

Since I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet, I'll be really brief in describing the scene. So in this scene, Hwang Dal Joong is talking to Attorney Shin right after his trial. Attorney Shin asks Dal Joong if he is still mad at what had happened to him. (Hwang Dal Joong was in jail for 26 years even though he never committed the crime.) And what Dal Joong said next just completely blew my mind.

He says, "I don't have much time left to live. I don't want to spend what little time I have left to live on hating someone. The very last emotion that I feel before I die...I don't want it to be such an ugly emotion such as that. That's why I forgave him."

I couldn't help but ask myself, "If I died today, what would my last emotion be?" Unfortunately, it would be sadness, anger, and frustration. I was mad at myself for living such a pathetic life, one that couldn't compare to everyone else around me. I was sad that I couldn't do anything I wanted to do. I was frustrated that I was always stuck being the same me. These emotions were with me for quite a while now. I constantly battled with my mental myself, struggling to free myself of these "ugly" emotions.

These so-called "ugly" emotions aren't necessarily a bad thing (cuz we're human..."Inside Out" anyone?), but if I were to look back at my life at this moment, they would be the only emotions that I would remember. And I don't want that. I want to look back at life and say, "Yes, I've smile. I've cried. I've experienced everything I wanted and I'm satisfied with my life." I want contentment to be the last emotion I remember.

But keeping myself buried in those "ugly" emotions will never let me accomplish that. Some things in life are not worth holding onto--instead, these things should teach us how to accept, forgive, and let go. I've been holding and focusing all my attention on all the wrong things in my life. Yes there were, are, and always will be things in my life that will make me feel sad, angry and unjust, but I'll just accept them and learn to let go, From now on, I'll put more energy in those things that are right with my life and I'll keep moving forward.

Besides, how you view life is really what you get in life. Keep thinking that life sucks and that's the life you'll end up with. On the other side, though, if you keep thinking that life is something precious and something that's worth it, you'll live a life that's amazing and full. And the beauty of it all is that everyone has their own way of defining what makes life wonderful. Having a family, growing old with a partner, or owning a business---these are all wonderful lives to somebody out there.

All in all, if there is something that's been weighing you down in life, remember that you can and are able to put it down. Let's live life so that on that last day, we can all say with a big smile, "I did."

Good night everyone. And sweet dreams :)

~Park Soo Ha

"It's been a very long time since anyone has used the word, 'We' around me."

~Min Joon Gook

Soo Ha's monologue at the end...really sums up the messages in the drama.

"There were several people who helped [me], but the first person who comes to mind...is the person who helped me grow into an adult. He's someone who at times appeared foolish because of his excessive trust in people. But as I witnessed how he defended his people with that unwavering faith of his...He left me no other choice other than to accept him as an adult who's to be respected.

And there's also the person who was too overconfident with her abilities in herself. But that person...showed me how she could admit to her faults, and be able to apologize for it. Just how amazing a person can be when they know how to repent for their wrongs and be able to apologize for them...

And...there's even someone who's shown me a path that I never should travel down on. Someone who used to live his life as human, but ultimately chose to become a beast. He was a foolish and pitiful man.

And there came a moment in my life when I could've made the same decision...I almost made the same choice he made in my desire for revenge. If she hadn't been there for me...I might also be living my life as a beast right now...Someone who is unbelievably blunt to the point of absurdity without an manners or consideration. She's that type of person. Someone who used to think like that...started to fight for the truth and started seeing people for why they truly are. And seeing that has become the light in the darkness that I was wandering around in and it became my path. If it hadn't been for her, I doubt I would've made it to this point. She's the one who taught me the importance of protecting others. She also taught me how important it is to be able to listen to someone."

~ Park Soo Ha

Drama Thoughts: Oh My Ghostess

**Screen shots were taken from the "OMG" episodes on Dramafever. Make sure you show them lots of love and watch "Oh My Ghostess" on Dramafever!

When I first read the synopsis on "Oh My Ghostess," I honestly wasn't expecting much. I thought it was just going to be another drama focused only on love. But man was I wrong. The whole "virgin grudge" added a lot of humor to the story, but then the writers surprised us with the addition of mystery and suspense. And on top of that, they decided to throw in some things like family and personal growth. The actors and actresses were just phenomenal with their performances, especially Park Bo Young portraying both the shy Bong Sun and ghost possessed Bong Sun. With all of this, "Oh My Ghostess" became one of the most enjoyable dramas.

Synopsis:

Shin Soon Ae is a ghost who must resolve her grudge of being a virgin before she can move on. So, she possesses other women in an attempt to seduce men. However, one day Soon Ae ends up possessing the not-so-confident Na Bong Sun and finds herself stuck in Bong Sun's body. Bong Sun is an aspiring cook who works at a restaurant ran by her secret crush Chef Kang Sun Woo, but her lack of confidence makes her unable to even look at him. But with Shin Soon Ae's help, Sun Woo starts to develop an interest in Bong Sun. Despite getting closer to resolving her grudge, Soon Ae discovers there is more to her death than she thought.

Sound interesting? Well definitely go check it out on Dramafever and come back when you're done!

*Spoiler Alert

Funny Moments

I've never seen 4 guys screaming like that before. She definitely took her time to close the door, didn't she?

  

Only shy Bong Sun would apologize while taking down a thief. She's pretty tough for only being pea-sized.

Karaoke complete with the dance moves. They definitely know how to do it. Sous chef's rapping was just too funny. 

Sweet Bong Sun/Chef Moments

Yes Chef can be kind of cocky sometimes but he definitely is a good boyfriend. I liked how we got to see just how hard a guy falls for a girl. I thought it was funny that he constantly was saying how much Bong Sun needed him, but in reality he was the one who couldn't live without her. His self-talks were the best because we got to hear all of his thoughts from things like, "She's mad at me. She's really mad at me," to "MOTEL?! She really lost her mind!"

Jealous Chef.

The piggyback ride. A necessity in Kdramas.

Awww the way Chef looks at Bong Sun.

Cute. 

Bong Sun finally decides to chase love on her own. Even the headlights are feeling it.

Sooo many kiss scenes.

The "Oh you got the wrong person but whatever" kiss

The fantasy kiss.

The first kiss after Chef realizes he likes Bong Sun.

The "before I make you mine" kiss.

And my favorite kiss scene. Bong Sun initiated it. Just shows how confident she became.

Cute Cordon Moments

I was secretly rooting for Cordon and Bong Sun. I mean he's always looking after her and taking care of her. 

Like that time when he carried the heavy boxes for her and said that he'll be her boyfriend.

Or that time he was concerned about her getting hurt.

And that moment when he found her wearing the red helmet. From his smile and the way he looked at her, you could just tell he likes her. I loved his "You're sorta pretty" comment.

He is the nice guy in this drama. He could've stepped in between Chef's and Bong Sun's relationship but decided to support them instead. He even tried to convince Chef that he shouldn't give up Bong Sun. How did Cordon know that Bong Sun was always looking at Chef? Well that means he was always looking at her.

Sung Jae

Im Joo Hwan did an excellent job playing Sung Jae. From that innocent sweet smile to that that evil spirit possessed glare, Im Joo Hwan was on point with his acting. 

Again, I couldn't hate the bad guy completely. He got adopted by a family who doesn't even deserve to be parents. Yes he shouldn't have attempted to suffocate his baby brother but the dad shouldn't have beaten him up either. He grew up without any love and so instead hate took over.

You could tell that his heart was wavering here. Eun Hee's "No matter what happens. I'm still on your side," really got to him. 

Creepy looking thing...

I was wondering what the ending would be for Sung Jae. I thought he would be arrested by the police first but was kind of puzzled when Soon Ae and the Shaman found him before the police. But then again this is Drama land we're talking about, so I guess it all worked out in the end. I mean without the Shaman throwing her beans (I think they were beans at least) at him, he wouldn't have been able to see what was living in him all these years. The flashbacks of Eun Hee and Soon Ae made him realize that he was wrong and, not being able to forgive himself, he jumped off the building.

Unconditional love right here. Eun Hee's has one of the biggest hearts ever. I'm pretty sure she found out that everything Sung Jae has done but still continued to visit him in prison. It was definitely a bitter sweet moment when Sung Jae was crying and saying that he wanted to remember the three years that they were married and Eun Hee was like, "There's no need to. I like this you."

Bong Sun

Not-so-confident Bong Sun was like my mirror image, so I really enjoyed watching how she changed to become happy and confident. At first, she was always apologizing even when she wasn't wrong. She couldn't look at people in the eye and was fearful. But then she learned how to love herself and love others. She figured out that isolating herself from everyone was living "like a dummy" and slowly started to open up. She became courageous in love and in following her dreams.

Beaming with confidence. 

Shin Soon Ae

I really admired her personality. She was funny and was willing to speak her mind. She can come off as a bit annoying, but underneath she had such a kind heart. There were so many times where she could've turned into an evil spirit, but decided that she didn't want to be evil. She did struggle for a little while when she wanted Chef for herself, but she realized her mistake in time.

If it was one thing she couldn't let go, it would be her dad. The scenes with her and her dad were touching, especially this one. She was such a good daughter, always looking after her dad. I was glad that he could finally see her and hug her one last time.

Honorable Mention--Kyung Mo

Yes he was the lazy, kinda annoying younger brother, but, like Soon Ae, he was a big softie too. Seeing how heartbroken Bong Sun was after she left Chef, he couldn't just sit there and watch. He actually went up and slapped Chef to his senses, purposely telling him Bong Sun's whereabouts. My respect for Kyung Mo went up when he was like, "Be happy."


Ending

One of the most satisfying and complete endings I have ever seen. Soon Ae is finally able to move on. Bong Sun becomes super confident and continues to live happily with Chef while helping out at Soon Ae's dad's restaurant. Chef opens another restaurant while teaching Kyung Mo. The Shaman's business is as good as ever. Even the bad guy gets a pretty happy ending.

It was cute how Bong Sun became the dad's "second" daughter. 

And how can we forget Seo In Guk's cameo? It was only a few minutes, but I enjoyed every second of it. I loved his "Whoa Hey Whoa."
