Kim Nam Gil – The Pirates (Picspam)

by Fiona

After watching The Pirates (2014), I cannot tell you how much I love this film and needed to fangirl over Kim Nam-Gil oppa.   His performance portraying Jang Sa-Jung, the dorky bandit, was outstandingly entertaining along with Yeo-wol (Son Ye-Jin), the amazing pirate captain. The entire cast was equally fabulous, especially the talented Yoo Hae-Jin as Chul-Bong. It was so much fun to watch, I was grinning like a Cheshire cat from beginning to end! :)  I might give the movie another run this weekend. XD

There were some news that a sequel is in development stages…crossing my fingers that Nam-Gil oppa and Ye-Jin ssi will accept their roles again. It would just would not be the same without them. 

Pirates has similar elements and pays tribute to Pirates of the Caribbean, which is another fave of mine. I am not going to discuss anything specific at this time, except for Jang Sa-Jung. hehe

Why I adore Jang Sa-Jung? 

Jang appears to be shameless, clumsy, bumbling, and loony on the exterior. Though, he is actually a righteous bad-ass who is loyal and kindhearted. We can see why Yeo-wol was captivated by his quirky charms. He can be quite romantic and cute at times. Who can resist a long-haired, attractive swordman with some moves?!

Sister’s Slam Dunk S2 (K-Variety)

by Fiona

Wow, 2019 has been flying by so quickly! It’s already April and summer will be around the corner soon. 

Anyone into Korean variety shows? I have grown fond of Sister’s Slam Dunk Season II, especially its cast members and how much effort they used to transform themselves into a girls group/band. The show focused on producing a group of diverse celebrities into one-time ensemble.

I adored Hong Jin-Young, Kim Sook and Kang Ye-won, as well as, the other members, Hong Jin-kyung, Han Chae-young, Minzy and Jeon So-mi. I love their chemistry, how they bonded and cherished each other even though they were so different from one another, personality and experience-wise.

Minzy and So-mi are quite well-known in K-Pop along Hong Jin-Young (professional singers), but they were so understanding and patient toward their Unnies. Keeping everything real was another aspect that made the show wonderful, especially when they shared stories of their struggles and dreams. Though, the show has ended, I am sure they will remain friends for a long time.

I was truly proud and happy for the Unnies when their Music Bank performance was a success and their song dominated the music charts on the first day of release. I emphasize again that not all of them are professional musicians and they did their very best to achieve the project’s goal.

Hopefully, they will have a third season one day with a few of the same members. In the meantime, please enjoy their music and performance below, as well as, the full season of the show on Viki and Youtube.

Kim Nam-Gil, my current crush (Picspam)

by Fiona

I decided to give Kocowa a try and stumble across The Fiery Priest, which stars Kim Nam-Gil, Honey Lee and Kim Sung-Kyun. This definitely caught me by surprise on how good and hilarious the drama and now Nam-Gil ssi is on my radar for life. ♥ ♥

I was quite clueless who actually Kim Nam-Gil was as he is not often found on the small screen. The more I dug, the more I adore him. Not only is his acting polished and versatile, he is quite skillful when performing action stunts. See his fabulous moves in The Fiery Priest and The Pirates. It would be treat if Jang Hyuk (my other bias) and him could co-star in a history drama together some day.

Nam-Gil oppa is super unique, charming, dashing, clever, sophisticated…, I could go on forever.  The way he acts with his eyes and facial expressions are amazing, I cannot tell you how mesmerizing they are.

Although, only three of his works were sampled on my end, Live Up to Your Name was my latest, I found his chemistry with his co-stars overall to be impeccable. The romantic sparks with his female leads are 
astonishing, you just want to see more of their journey together. I would not mind him in more romcoms! 

Please continue to give him some love…I bring upon his likeness so his handsomeness can bewitch everyone! LOL
