A Confession of a Converted Fangirl!

As a K-drama addict I always have the tendency to be attached with the drama that I’m currently watching especially when the drama are relatable, have a good story and pushes the right emotion buttons for me. Most of the time I would want to be the in the shoes the female lead because I usually have the penchant to love the male lead and I wanted the male lead to sweep off my feet and be the other half of main OTP. But of course it’s only my wishful thinking! LOL!

These past few months of my life have been the busiest in terms of my K-drama addiction and this is mainly because of Playful Kiss. Playful Kiss as you all knows is the Korean version of Itazura na Kiss which features Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min as it leads. As I watched PK, I immediately fell in love and got addicted to the drama and its leads.

How addicted did I get? Let just say that because of Playful Kiss, I did stayed up all night just to watch it even without subtitles then re-watch it again when the subtitles are out, stalked all possible sites and blogs for news, updates and goodies. Joined discussions and chatrooms with all other PK lovers, and that’s where I discovered the blog that I considered my ray of sunshine, Kathy’s Bench (it’s a place where you can spazz, rant, squeal, discuss anything and everything about PK and Kim Hyun Joong). I even got hundreds and I mean hundreds of downloaded pictures and other related stuff of PK and KHJ! I even change my phone ringtone to the OST drama (One more time anyone? Or as one of my co-KHJ angels would say, wham more time! hahahaha!). And as of the moment when you sit in front of my office computer and notebook KHJ will be the one to greet you! LOL!!

Kim Hyun Joong
The reason of my new found fangirl status!

But the biggest proof of my addiction would be my conversion of being a silent fan of Kim Hyun Joong into a fangirl! I did mention this in my old posts that I noticed and liked Kim Hyun Joong in Boys Over Flowers which was his debut as an actor. Even though his acting chops in that drama was not stellar as some expected him to do (please don’t throw tomatoes on me!), but he still managed to steal the spotlight every now and then during the duration of the drama. Well, at first it’s just because of his gorgeous face and wonderful smile that I came to like him but as I researched for more info’s about him the more that I came to like him! Got to know that he have such great singing and dancing talent as a leader of the boyband SS501. That he got this 4D personality that leaves everybody amaze and wondering how this flower boy looking guy can spurt words and phrases that sometimes so out of this world but in the end can still made sense! I myself can’t really figure it out how he does that! But I do think that it’s part of his charisma, having a face and a body that is so swoon worthy (honestly, I can’t help myself to spazz every time that I look into his pictures and videos!) but also have a charming, 4D personality and have a clever mind as well!

That smile can launch a thousand ship!

And then PK came along, others might say that Hyunnie is not the best version of Itazura na Kiss male lead but for me, he have done it well and passed it all with flying colors! He did play the robot-genius-arrogant guy with so adorableness that even his being a jerk you can’t help but love him! (Ok, fine my judgments are clouded by the fact that I like the actor but hey, who are we kidding when I knew that most of us watched PK because of Hyunnie!) But in the end PK did the trick, it’s the turning point of me being just a silent fan to a fangirl! It made me realize that this guy deserves to be adored, loved and given support to because he goes out of its way to reach out to his fans. And he works so freaking hard to give his best in everything that he does. And lastly, Hyunnie does have a good heart, he knows how to give back when he knows he is given too much! And that’s my reasons my dearest chinggu’s why I’m so willing to be called a KIM HYUN JOONG FANGIRL!!!

He looks so dreamy, right?!

As a fangirl of him, I will not claim that I know all about Hyunnie, I can’t even enumerate all his songs, and haven’t memorize all his albums (not yet), but this is what I promise from here on I will do my best to give my love and support to him in every projects that he will do. And will be here for him in down times and in happy times! As long as Kim Hyun Joong is happy, I’ll be happy too. And that’s what is important for me!

Who can resist that smile?
I wouldn't even try to resist!
