Hi hi sisters ...... as promised, I’d like to write about Chapter 2 of TWSSG - The Destiny of Missing Encounter. We’ve read some positive reviews so far, quite an improvement to the first one, huh? Maybe the story was gearing up to the climax of the carefree Damdeok evolving into a mighty king, we were able to enjoy our handsome prince’s acting in many scenes :
Well, to start, we were already off to a winner – a drool-worthy scene @@
His very distressed fight in the rain - disbelief, anger, pain, longing - all written on his face.
Having faith in himself first, so others would have faith in him! Ahhhh ..... don’t we all need a little 'faith' in ourselves too?
His oh-so-naughty drinking scene :) I am still amazed by his superb change in facial expressions – from oblivious to playful to mischievous to commanding, all in seconds! Who says the man only has a pretty face??
Hehe, I remember writing a post about this scene - love with authority. "The man in front of you is ‘King’ ah!" ..... a victorious smile :)
The second chapter covered all the way to Damdeok and his army reaching the foot of Chuoro’s Gwangmi Castle. There were many sub-plots to cover and each scene also happened very fast, but the flow didn’t feel choppy at all. Being an epic production like TWSSG, Director KHJ nim of course would not throw away his precious footage of those large-scale fighting and war scenes. It was a mixed feeling to watch Yong Joon again, in a drama that he put so much of his blood and sweat in.
The 3rd chapter will be out this Saturday, as well as the BYJ 3D in Tokyo Dome. Now the big question for the Japanese sisters is : how are they going to divide their time on both movies? Hehe, I think for myself, I'd like to space the 2 out in at least a week's interval so I can savor each one slowly :) Good night!

Dear Jaime and Bae sisters:
Greetings on the Penn 254th commencement day, when the campus is full of candidates and faculty in toga, alumni carrying flags of their year of graduation, parents, friends, even pet dogs watching the processional from the sidewalk of Locust Walk.
The commencement speaker is Hon. Jon Huntsman, the US ambassador to China, who summarized his Go, Quaker speech in five F's: "Find yourself, Find a cause, Face failure, Find someone to love and Find meaning."
Even Bae Yong Joon could follow the same trajectory towards success and happiness.
It is fitting that your posting on TWSSG resonates with all those flags, applause and medieval jousts.
Sarang Hamnida,

Hi Jaime
These lovely pix are simply nostalgic. Brings me back to those nights when I actually watched TWSSG every night for a couple of months, just repeating the whole series again and again. Ahhhhh . . . . Hope they will release a dvd version of the movies.

hi alcy,
Yeah, did you watch it live on MBC back in Dec 2007? Now, it feels heavy to pick up an epic drama to re-watch, just too much of a commitment as compared to a romantic comedy. But TWSSG is such a captivating drama, my eyes just glue to the TV whenever Damdeok appears :) thanks for coming by here!
love ... jaime
Hi Jaime
Nope, I wasn't even aware of BYJ then. TWSSG was the first Korean drama I watched cos my sis passed me the dvd and insisted that I watch cos it's so good. And she's not even a BYJ fan. I meant, after finishing the series in two weeks, I watched it again and again consecutively for a few months...ya, I was so moved and captivated. Sounds crazy, eh?
cheers
alcy
