Eye Candy Friday: Cha Min

Posted October 30, 2020 by Rowena in Features, TV Shows | 0 Comments

Eye Candy Friday is something that I’ve been doing since I first started my personal blog way back in 2003. That first personal blog is long gone but I’ve never really grown out of the eye candy phase. I’m always up for some eye candy. Whether it’s a character from a book (male or female, I don’t discriminate), a character from a movie or TV Show, if I loved them and want to gush about how much I loved them, you’ll find them here. Thanks for coming along for the ride.

This week, I’m featuring Ahn Hyo Seop as Cha Min in the Korean Drama, Abyss. He’s another great actor who did a fantastic job in Abyss. His character accidentally dies and is brought back from some aliens using this ball called the abyss. Only thing is, he comes back as a gorgeous man and spends the length of the show trying to find out who killed his best friend, who also dies but he uses the abyss to bring her back and they ride around Korea chasing clues on who killed her and why.

I’m not lying. Ahn Hyo Seop acted his ass off in this show but as great as he was, I keep coming back to this. He’s freaking gorgeous and that’s probably the real reason that he’s this week’s Eye Candy Friday. Seriously, enjoy.

Until next week…enjoy!

Eye Candy Friday: Moon Gang Tae

Thanks for coming along for the ride.

This week, I’m featuring Kim Soo Hyun as Moon Gang Tae in It’s Okay to Not Be Okay. Gang Tae was a very compelling character that I completely adored and ugly cried getting to know. He was like a single father who took care of his autistic older brother, Sang Tae. His Mom was a single mother and when she died back when Gang Tae was 10 years old, Gang Tae had to grow up and be the caretaker for the both of them. So they moved around a lot until Gang Tae was old enough to not be in the system anymore. He shouldered so much responsibility at a young age and spent his entire life living to take care of his brother. He never had a life of his own and nobody has ever cared enough to want to make him happy. Until Ko Moon Young came back into their lives.

He hardened himself against developing relationships because relationships came with more responsibilities and he had enough already. But man, seeing him fight his feelings for Moon Young and shoulder the burden of caring for his older brother all alone hit me every single episode. It was hard to see him push everyone away until there was only him and Sang Tae but he had a great support system in his squad that wouldn’t leave him alone and he had a great supporter in Moon Young.

He was also so stinkin’ gorgeous, I mean check it out…

This guy is someone you guys should know. He’s everything that we love in our heroes in our books and his story was equal parts heartbreaking and joyful. Gang Tae had me captivated from episode one and by the time episode 16 came around, I was a complete mess over this guy. Absolutely loved him. And that kiss in that last picture? MOOD!

Until next week…enjoy!

Eye Candy Friday: Ri Jung Hyuk

Thanks for coming along for the ride.

This week, I’m featuring Hyun Bin as Ri Jung Hyuk in the Korean drama, Crash Landing on You. Man, here’s another example of that get you a man that loves you the way that Ri Jung Hyuk loved him some Yoon Se Ri. She literally crash-landed on him while paragliding. She went up in the air in South Korea, got caught up in a hurricane thing and landed on Ri Jung Hyuk in North Korea. LOL, only in K-Dramas.

I fell head over heels in love with Ri over the course of the show because he really did try everything under the sun to sneak Se Ri back into South Korea. He hid her in his house, protected her from his nosy neighbors and got shot trying to protect her from those that wanted to harm her. He also searched for her when she got lost at the market and I cried during that scene. There are many reasons to love Ri Jung Hyuk and that’s why he’s this week’s Eye Candy Friday. It didn’t hurt at all that he was very easy on the eyes, as you can see from the pictures above. Haha, Happy Friday!

Until next week…enjoy!

Eye Candy Friday: Sung Joon

Thanks for coming along for the ride.

This week, I’m featuring Park Seo Jun (haha, yes…again!) as Sung Joon from the Korean drama, She was Pretty. This was another fantastic character for Park Seo Jun. I’m convinced that he can’t play a bad character as far as I’m concerned. I’m biased, I know but since this is my blog, I do what I want. LOL.

In She was Pretty, Park Seo Jun plays a young professional who reunites with his childhood best friend, only things are a lot different. When he moved away when they were teenagers, Sung Joon was a chubby boy that didn’t get any girls while his best friend, Kim Hye Jin was gorgeous but a little nerdy and liked him anyway. Over the years, they lost touch but when Sung Joon comes back to Korea, he looks Hye Jin up and wants to meet up. Sung Joon is gorgeous now while Hye Jin has frizzy hair and acne, thanks to her father’s genes. Shenanigans happen but seeing Sung Joon struggle to find the best friend he adored back in the day made for a great viewing adventure. I loved seeing him grow into his feelings for the Hye Jin as she is now and I loved that when he finally realizes his best friend was right under his nose the entire time, I loved seeing him rejoice in her. That’s why he’s this week’s Eye Candy Friday. *swoon*

Until next week…enjoy!

This week, I’m featuring Lee Jung Suk as Kang Cheol in W: Two Words. Lee Jung Suk played a webtoon character that was brought to life by the daughter of the author of the comic series that he’s the main character for. He goes between worlds, along with the female lead and I really enjoyed getting to know his character. This is the first Lee Jung Suk series that I finished and I became a fan of his because of this show. He’s a great actor and was totally swoon-worthy in this show so if you haven’t watched it, you should fix that. Kang Cheol is definitely a character everyone should know.

Until next week…enjoy!
