39.5

A song that I can't get off of my mind. A song that I think describe well about first love (첫사랑) and unrequited love (짝사랑) or better known as one-sided love. Surely, a person who has never succeeded in loving someone might have this kind of thought of "why can't I love or be loved?". Though this song is not the answer to that thought, it actually voices out the thought. This song is a soundtrack to MBC drama "May Queen" which I think described the character Park Chang Hee very well. Of all the messages that are portrayed by the drama, I am only interested in two of them. First message is first love always doesn't end happily. Second  message is love after marriage is much better and stronger than love before marriage. These are what I got by observing the character Park Chang Hee and In Hwa.

The reason is simple: In Hwa fell in love with Chang Hee because she said finally she could have someone who loves her. Even though she found out that Chang Hee was just using her to get revenge to her father, In Hwa still loves him unconditionally, believe in him and be faithful to him. Which when compared to Hae Joo, is nothing much the same. Hae Joo, despite loving Chang Hee for 15 years, she couldn't really understand Chang Hee well. Chang Hee, on the other hand, realised how bad he was to have used In Hwa for revenge purpose and the sympathy he had within himself grew into love when he let In Hwa go so that she could live well on her own. 

This remind me of an advice that a pair of old couple gave once which is "The most important thing in marriage is sympathy because with sympathy we won't have heart to hurt our spouse." Though I am not 100% sure about the truth of this fact, I can say I'm almost 100% agreed with it since I have always wondered "can love really last even after both of us aged"? So i thought sympathy does play a role in making the love last long. 

Anyway, back to the song. I believe the title is 39.5 as it is referring to the body temperature when someone is having a fever (not sure if that is quite a high fever or just a mild fever). When you're lovesick, you don't have much appetite, you find it's hard to sleep, you even find it's hard to live a day without thinking of the person whom you can't even reach your hand out to. And that, is similar like having a fever with no medicine to cure...

May Queen's Review

#May Queen.

The drama that introduces me to Jae Hee. The drama that is responsible for making me fall in love with an actor that doesn't act much in big screen or big hit dramas and movies. The drama that is responsible to introduce me to an actor who has high potential of becoming success yet he still manages to lay low what even manage to get married secretly and now is living happily ever after with his wife and a one-year old son. 

Let me tell you how I first decided to watch May Queen.

First, it was because I was anticipating of seeing Eun Jung in Five Fingers production but after the frustating controversy, I decided to not watch Five Fingers as Eun Jung was pulled out of the drama. Then I came to know that the drama's greatest competitor is May Queen. But still I need a strong assurance to make me watch the drama and that's when I got to know the children actress and actors are awesome. With my mind focused on just giving it a try, I started watching it and little did I know back then, it was absolutely addicting and I couldn't let it go anymore. Not until the adult casts appeared. 

I was a bit sad at first, knowing that I could no longer see Kim Yoo Jeong and Park Geon Tae together but I said to myself, hey why don't I give the adult casts a chance to prove they are good. Besides, I quite like Han Ji Hye in My Boyfriend is Type B. That being said, at that time, I had no interest in watching Jae Hee or Kim Jae Won. 

And then there it came, the handsome manly good looking Chang Hee aka Jae Hee in his three-piece work suit, dashingly captivating my heart at the moment. What more, his gentle and loving act towards Hae Joo made me fall for him head over heels. At the same time, the feeling was topped with the sympathy I had knowing the grudge and anger that Chang Hee had held in himself for long. I had no idea that he was going to take an adventurous tun in his life to protect his loved ones; Hae Joo, his father and his only friend, Kang San. 

There came a pause for me to watch May Queen. I couldn't bring my self to watch it especially knowing he won't be with Hae Joo (though I must say Jae Hee doesn't have that perfect loving chemistry with Han Ji Hye). And so, there were days when I kept contemplating whether I should continue watching or not as well as the days where I worried if the writer going to make Chang Hee the bad one until the end of the drama. So what I did was to go watch Jae Hee in Delightful Girl Chun Hyang where he got the best role ever!!! And he was a prosecutor as well in DGCH!!!! Also, why he always got a role with quite many fighting scenes? He actually had a scene in the last episode of May Queen. I'm not complaining here but instead I've got to say he looks more cool when he's fighting. ^_^

Anyway, as to continue the story of May Queen, so what I did was to take a peek at Chang Hee's screentime only. But I must say, the moment he tried winning (or deceiving) In Hwa's heart, I decided to continue watching the drama again. And gladly, Jae Hee's chemistry with Son Eun Seo is way better and I admit I went all happy and giddy every time I watched the parts they were together. And I felt sad when they had to break up in the last episode due to all the complicated circumstances they were in.

However, I'm super duper happy that Chang Hee and In Hwa finally ended up together in May Queen. No words can express my feelings now because honestly, I stayed to watch May Queen to the end mainly because of Chang Hee and I've got to say Jae Hee deserves a Baeksang Award for his role as Chang Hee. The only character that had so much transformation in the drama. I knew from the start that Chang Hee isn't bad at all. (Though I must say I have another plot in my mind that could break my own heart). I've got to say when Chang Hee said to Kang San "I thought you were smart enough", I went laughing out loud to all those person who taught Chang Hee was bad and stupid. Haha..so who gets the final laugh??? Us, Chang Hee team!!! Okay, that's too much. 

Chang Hee's and In Hwa's wedding picture in their bedroom.

In my point of view:

1. What Chang Hee did was all right as per his expertise. Come on, he studied to be a prosecutor, not an engineer. Obviously, he doesn't know anything about ships and drills and oils. But he has the smartest brain, and he plays along with the law SO WELL. If not because of the silly worker in Cheonji Shipbuilding, his plan should have been well-hidden until the end. Anyway, at least he managed to give all the evidences to Prosecutor Yoon Jeong Woo.

2. To be honest I also love how In Hwa character's evolves throughout the drama. From someone chasing Kang San around crazily without knowing the meaning of love, to someone who grows matured because of her love towards Chang Hee...the best antagonist couple award should go to Park Chang Hee and Jang In Hwa. 

3. Hae Joo's character was all fine during her childhood days but I have to say that the adult character was a bit rubbish. The only thing she knew was to throw tantrum....and admit her weaknesses and be a crybaby. Duh, I have no idea how Kang San isn't bored of her. LOL. Anyway, I conclude here that I think Han Ji Hye should just stick with Romance Comedy instead with melodrama like this. Totally ruin the mood. Sorry to her fans.

4. Kang San's character is the one that doesn't change much. Plus the timing that the writer insert his plot is all inappropriate. Like I couldn't care much when it was revealed that his parents died being murdered by Jang Do Hyeon. The writer should have included that way earlier. Plus, Kim Jae Won with straight and serious face totally ruin the mood for me. But when he acted the funny scene, he worked it off excellently. So I guess I conclude that he could play melodrama but not so much of serious scenes.

5. Other supporting characters are all so good. The moms, the dads, the staffs and etc are so well portrayed and the characters and scene are all so well written. I have to say I love how Geum Hee has her own plan as well despite her weaknesses. I love Yoon Jeong Woo love stories with Bong Hee, as well. They are cute.

On top of everything, I love the OSTs for the drama and my favourite goes to.....

39.5 by Kan Jong Wook

The song seriously fits for Chang Hee. How he broke up with Hae Joo and how he couldn't really bring himself to love In Hwa. If you ever wonder, 39.5 is referring to the body temperature when someone has fever, or so I thought. And the song keeps repeating the line "I am ill...aka 열이 납니다". The root word is 열이 나다 (yeor-i na-da) which means pretty much "run a fever". The second goes to "Even for 1 Second" by Kan Jong Wook as well and the third goes to "Goodbye to Romance" by Sonya.

Lastly, I'm sorry to say but May Queen is the first drama that made me watch the supporting roles more than the main roles. Blame it on the characters themselves, (aka the writer for making it not interesting to watch the main couple). Anyway, all the best to all the actors and actresses in May Queen for their future projects and I do hope Jae Hee to make a bigger screen comeback next time. Wishing him the best of success in his career, love and life. :) And May Queen is the second drama with many episodes that I manage to complete and enjoy watching. The first I watched was Kimcheed Radish Cubes with Park Shin Hye and Joo Sang Wook :)

Anyone out there who cares to share your opinion on this drama, feel free to do so :)

P/S: My heartiest congratulations to Jae Hee for his awesome outstanding performance in May Queen:

Sometimes I Want To Hug You Like Crazy

안녕하세요 여러분!!!

잘 지냈어요?
오늘은 채가 좋아아는 노래 소개하고싶어요
그래서, 읽기를 계속하시기 바랍니다.

Lyrics (가사)

만약이라는 두 글자가 오늘 내 맘을 무너뜨렸어
어쩜 우린 웃으며 다시 만날 수 있어 그렇지 않니?

음악을 듣고 책을 읽고 영화를 보고 사람들을 만나고
우습지만 예전엔 미처 하지 못했던 생각도 많이 하게 돼

넌 날 아프게 하는 사람이 아냐
수없이 많은 나날들 속을
반짝이고 있어 항상 고마웠어
아무도 이해할 수 없는 얘기겠지만

그렇지만 가끔 미치도록 네가 안고 싶어질 때가 있어
너 같은 사람은 너 밖에 없었어
마음 둘 곳이라곤 없는 이 세상 속에

넌 날 아프게 하는 사람이 아냐
수없이 많은 나날들 속을
반짝이고 있어 항상 고마웠어
아무도 이해할 수 없는 얘기겠지만

그렇지만 가끔 미치도록 네가 안고 싶어질 때가 있어
너 같은 사람은 너 밖에 없었어
마음 둘 곳이라곤 없는 이 세상 속에

TRANSLATION

The two words, “What if” break down my heart today
We might be able to meet again as we smile, can’t we?

Listening to music, reading books, watching movies, meeting people
It’s funny but I get to think about things that I wasn’t able to before

You are not a person who hurts me
Inside the countless days, you are sparkling – I’m always thankful
It’s a story that no one else can understand but
But sometimes, there are times when I want to hug you like crazy
Only you can be a person like you
In this world that has no place for my heart

You are not a person who hurts me
Inside the countless days, you are sparkling – I’m always thankful
It’s a story that no one else can understand but
But sometimes, there are times when I want to hug you like crazy
Only you can be a person like you
In this world that has no place for my heart

I Will Smile

Today, again, I just feel like sharing with you a great song that I've listened to since 2010. It's a soundtrack from Coffee House, the second drama I like after Heartstrings.


This drama was responsible in introducing Ham Eun Jung, the one and only Korean celebrity (along with Park Shin Hye, of course) that I really love. At first, I didn't know anything about T-ARA (the one and only Korean girl group that I love) so basically I thought Eun Jung is just an actress. I was really annoyed at her role in Coffee House due to her being totally naive and childish. However, towards the end of the drama, I slowly felt pity towards her character as she had a one-sided love. Overall, her acting skills are really impressive as she totally drew me into watching her more and more. I can say my opinion towards her acting skill in Coffee House is not bias since I really did not know she's a girl group member at that time.


So not long after I've finished watching Coffee House, my sister showed me T-ARA's songs which are T.T.L and I Go Crazy Because Of You. I was totally surprised at a total MASSIVE change that Eun Jung had undergone from her role in Coffee House to her real personality she portrayed during her group activities. It was like an ugly duckling being turned into a really pretty princess. From then on, I can say Eun Jung caught my attention the most.


Anyway, enjoy the song and I can say the song really depicts the feeling I have had and will always have.

I'm okay I'm really okay
I'm okay even if you leave me
From the start, to be with me
you were too far away

Thanks it was like a dream
The love that you gifted me with
Because you gave me such love
that was too much for me, that I couldn't keep

Even if it really hurts, awfully hurts
Even if it feels like I'm going to die
since I loved you since I was loved
I'll try to live on, even against my own will..

Even if I stop my mouth, my breath
Tears keep coming, even without me knowing
But still I'll show myself smiling
since our love will cry too if I cry
I don't hate you


what do you mean? I'm only grateful
The person I couldn't envy, who was perfect
from the start, you were not mine

Even if it really hurts, awfully hurts
Even if it feels like I'm going to die
since I loved you since I was loved
I'll try to live on, even against my own will..

Even if I stop my mouth, my breath
Tears keep coming, even without me knowing
But still I'll show myself smiling
since our love will cry too if I cry

Go, leave me, fly from the birdcage
Watching you fly far away
I'll be able to dream
I'll be happy with that..

Even if it really hurts, awfully hurts
Even if it feels like I'm going to die
since I loved you since I was loved
I'll try to live on, even against my own will..

Even if I stop my mouth, my breath
Tears keep coming, even without me knowing
But still I'll show myself smiling
since our love will cry too if I cry

Ham Eun Jung in Coffee House

T-ARA's Ham Eun Jung

The Unknown Truth

I'm stuck...

Between the perfect world of dreams

And the imperfect world of truths

Between the haunted past of me

And the unknown future of me

I'm stuck

Between the effort to forget the reality

And the will to remember the fantasy

In the end I'm lost

Lost in the fact that I don't know what is it that have been keeping me stuck here.

And again, without me realising it,

I am longing for the unknown you,

And I open the door to welcome such unknown memories 

Of the perfect love I long to have

From Up On Poppy Hill

Just finished watching From Up On Poppy Hill for the second time. The first time I watched it on last Monday. When I watched it the second time, only then I managed to understand some of the minor details in the story. I would rate it with 5 stars. Really recommended to Studio Ghibli's fans. The story really touched my heart. And at the end of the story, the theme song "Summer of Goodbye" sang by Aoi Teshima played in the background managed to make me teary-eyed. I love it so much. Everytime I need a pure innocent teenage love movie, Studio Ghibli has never let me down. From Up On Poppy Hill has secured the first place in my heart out of all their films, even The Borrower's Arrietty comes second now. Simply because From Up On Poppy Hill has the original touch of the Japanese culture unlike the latter that was based on a French novel (if I'm not mistaken). Anyway, enjoy the theme song of From Up On Poppy Hill

Separation by Nell

My new favourite Korean Indie Rock Band, named NELL. Most of the songs have the theme of separation yet the lyrics were written so beautifully making us feel that separation is also a part of sweet memories in our life. In one of their song "Standing In The Rain", which is the fifth track in the latest album entitled "Slip Away" which was released in spring 2012, there is a line saying that no one is to be blamed for the separation or break up that happened in our life. 

That’s enough

Is it pain or is it shame

Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter

We would always stand within that, and the time would just flow along

And there’s no one here to blame

[Standing In The Rain, Nell]

It's true. No matter how hard we try to hold onto the relationship that is just not going to work out, it will still be the same. It's not that either of you are the problem but rather it's just that none of you can adapt to suit each other's preferences better. 

If you yearn and await for those days that won’t come back,

What difference does it make

Even if you muss up the things, straining to fill up the vaccum,

What difference does it make

It won’t be easy, when the tears that the leaving heart had to shed and the ones shed by the heart staying behind were so uneven.

[Standing In The Rain, Nell]

Standing In The Rain is one of my favourite tracks in their Slip Away album besides the track In Days Gone By. My favourite lines quoted from the song are

“Erase it from the head”

“Flourish it in the heart”

“Is it as easy as one says?”

[In Days Gone By, Nell]

When I was still in primary school, I always thought why is it hard for someone to just move on after separation. It's not that there's only one person who can love you in this world. Little that I know it's like you have to be separated by your favourite teddy bear when you're entering your adolescent phase. You would encounter sleepless nights having to adapt with your teddy bear not sleeping next to you. Haha I am laughing at myself now. 

There is another amazing album from this band entitled "Separation Anxiety" with two favourite tracks named "Separation Anxiety" and not to forget "The Time We Spent Walking Through Memories". The latter is a must listen track. It sounds so sweet at first that I have no idea that it was related to separation until the very last lines mentioning

Even within a passing stranger’s figure on the streets

Even on top of the fallen leaves riding the wind with a lonely dance

Even within the air that brushes past my cheeks on some evening

In everything I see, hear and feel, there’s you. 

[Time Spent Walking Through Memories, Nell]

Anyway, recommended to those who would like to listen to a different genre of Korean songs besides K-Pop. Enough said. Need to get back to revising Math. 

Standing Egg - Rest

This is currently my favourite Korean Indie Band. Standing Egg. There is this song (though not my favourite) that was recommended to Park Shin Hye by a "friend" during Heartstrings shooting. Well all of us can already guess who that friend is. And to top it off, there are these meaningful lines in this song that most probably was dedicated by that "friend" to Shin Hye. Oh sweetness overload. 

Standing EGG – 휴식 (Hyusik/Rest)

하루도 하루도 하루도 쉰적없어

조금씩 조금씩 조금씩 널 향해서

한 걸음 한 걸음 한 걸음 다가가는

이런 내 맘을 몰라줘도

이제는 이제는 이제는 알 것 같아

조금은 조금은 조금은 급했나봐

한 걸음 한 걸음 한 걸음 더 천천히

이런 내 맘을 몰라줘도

나의 사랑 지금 이곳에 이대로 잠시 내려놓을 거야

보고 싶겠지만 힘이 들겠지만 잠시만 모든 걸 접어둘 거야

두렵지만 불안하지만 이대로 끝날 것만 같지만

언젠가 더 멋진 내가 될 때까지 잠시만 내 맘을 숨겨둘 거야

 

언젠가 언젠가 언젠가 돌아올게

아직은 아직은 아직은 아니지만

미안해 미안해 미안해 이 말밖엔

더 해줄 수 있는 게 없어

 

언젠가 언젠가 언젠가 돌아올때

너에게 너에게 너에게 말해줄게

사랑해 사랑해 사랑해 널 사랑해

이런 내 맘을 보여줄게

나의 사랑 지금 이곳에 이대로 잠시 내려놓을 거야

보고 싶겠지만 힘이 들겠지만 잠시만 모든 걸 접어둘 거야

두렵지만 불안하지만 이대로 끝날 것만 같지만

언젠가 더 멋진 내가 될 때까지 잠시만 내 맘을 숨겨둘 거야

이것만 기억해줘 우리 처음 만난 곳

그곳에서 다시 한 번 너를 위해 노래할게

나의 사랑 지금 이곳에 이대로 잠시 내려놓을 거야

보고 싶겠지만 힘이 들겠지만 잠시만 모든 걸 접어둘 거야

두렵지만 불안하지만 이대로 끝날 것만 같지만

언젠가 더 멋진 내가 될 때까지 잠시만 내 맘을 숨겨둘 거야

 

TRANSLATION

I’ve never rested, not even one day

Little by little, towards you I’ve gone

Step by step, I’ve walked closer

Even though you don’t know my feelings for you

Now, I think I know

Slightly,just slightly, I must have been in a hurry

Step by step, now slower

Even though you don’t know my feelings for you

I’ll pause and lay my love for you down for a bit

Though I know I’ll miss you and though I know it will hurt,

I will lay it down just for a moment

Though I am fearful, though I am afraid, though I feel it will end like this.

Until one day, until the day I become a more handsome person,

I will hide my feelings for you.

Someday, someday, I’ll come back.

Now is not yet, not yet, the time.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

This is all I can say to you right now.

Someday, someday when I come back.

I’ll tell you: I love you, I love you, I love you.

I’ll show these feelings to you.

I’ll pause and lay my love for you down for a bit.

Though I know I’ll miss you and though I know it will hurt,

I will lay it down just for a moment.

Though I am fearful, though I am afraid, though I feel it will end like this.

Until one day, until the day I become a more handsome person,

I will hide my feelings for you.

Just remember, remember this – the place where we first met.

At that place, I will sing for you once again.

I’ll pause and lay my love for you down for a bit.

Though I know I’ll miss you and though I know it will hurt,

I will lay it down just for a moment.

Though I am fearful, though I am afraid, though I feel it will end like this.

Until one day, until the day I become a more handsome person,

I will hide my feelings for you.
