He’s Beautiful madness 2.0

When you love something and it makes you happy, then I’d say that’s good.  When you love something and it makes you happy and it makes others happy with the same amount of enthusiasm as you do?  Then that’s mind blowingly awesome!

I’ve been trying to get my friend and fellow fangirl Tara to watch the Korean drama “He’s Beautiful” for months!  I gave her a copy of the soundtrack, sent her videos of my favorite scenes, posted links on her facebook wall, introduced her to the gorgeous Jang Geun Suk (theoretically and not personally of course)…but everything I did didn’t seem to make any impressions on her.  She’s become addicted to watching Koreanovelas but somehow He’s Beautiful doesn’t appeal to her as much as…well, all the other 10 million dramas that she chose to watch first before He’s Beautiful.

I always bug her to watch it already and she always apologizes for putting it on her “pending for watching list”.  I eventually gave up trying to convince her but just when I thought my precious drama will never see the light of day in Tara’s world, lo and behold!…a light appears on the horizon! 

She was (and I say that in the past tense) watching “My Princess” online a few days ago when the website/episodes suddenly became wonky and she had a hard time continuing it.  She got a bit annoyed so she decided to start on a new drama instead.  Well, whaddaya know….He’s Beautiful was next on the list!  She started watching…texted me that episode 1 was pretty cute…stopped for a bit because she was busy…but by the time episode 3 rolled around, Hwang Tae Kyung (Jang Geun Suk’s character)  had her at the palm of his hands.  Yes, finally!

I'm a nice guy....really!

Oh she did have her “Shin Woo moments” and her “I wish Jeremy was my brother moments” but of course, the “arrogant on the outside yet sensitive on the inside” Hwang Tae Kyung won her over in the end.

I should point out that she would usually send me texts at 2 or 3 am just for some “random fangirl outburts”–because that’s usually the time she watches–whenever the story or a certain scene was just too much fun for her to keep to herself…and I really do get a kick out of it.  I keep telling her, “Go!  Text away!” because I’m having as much fun as she is.  It’s really great when someone is enjoying the same things (or is obsessed with the same things more like) as you do.

As of this morning, she’s already done with all 16 episodes.  However, due to some errands that need her attention, I haven’t heard from her yet.  I can’t wait for her fangirl outburts! Thank you, Jang Geun Suk!  Kamsahamnida and Sarangheyo!

Dwejji Tokki!
