Here is where s shamelessly declares her first celeb crush for 2006. [insert derisive laughter here]

My first real celeb crush is quite dumb, I'm sorry to say, and I'm not exactly inclined to name said actor, hoho. XD He was and is a very popular actor who has soft brown eyes and long, pretty fingers. Even if he isn't really a musician, I think. He seems to be a very talented person. He is very charismatic, acts well and is probably the best singer in the group he belongs to (which isn't really saying much considering how..er, well his groupmates sing. :X). I stalked him (not literaly, of course) for close to a year and got bored after that. And now? He's married Yoshiki's ex.

Uh yes, you've probably guessed who he is.

...okok, I was only 14/15. -_-

Then, my first and longest musician crush is a musician I have never stopped liking since I was..15, too. He is shorter than me, but honestly, it hardly matters, haha. In my opinion, he has the most beautiful voice and face. Ever. He's very talented and I have a lot of respect for that. (I think I have a weakness for talented people...) He's almost unreal -- I don't know how I actually got lucky enough to watch the band live in 2004. I was probably 7 metres away from him. He didn't seem very real and at some point, even I didn't feel real either. But then, I think he probably is real, actually. And I don't really see myself stop liking him and the band.

My most recent musician crush, the last one for 2005, is the bassist from a band that's just gone major. The one who has the cute row of yellow teeth. XD You can read my gushings a few entries down. -_-;

I seem to be getting rather out-of-point here, but then, lately, I finally understand why I actually like musicians more than actors most of the time, even though I really like to watch TV. XD

I find it difficult to like an actor, whose stage persona I can't really understand. What I can understand is only the character he plays. So usually, I only end up liking the character that the actor plays -- which really, is a combination of the actor and the character. And all that passes after the series ends. I don't necessarily like another character the same actor plays in another drama, so it's difficult for me to continue liking the actor. There are exceptions of course, but not too many. Whereas for musicians, it's an ongoing thing. A musician's stage persona and talent are things that I can perceive in a relatively more tangible manner.


Having said that, my first celeb crush of the year is..a Korean actor ._____.||| *dies a million times*

I know, I know.

I am feeling disgusted with myself at this point too, haha... can I still dismiss Korean dramas from now on? Ever? I know I used to tell other people, rather proudly too, that I don't watch Korean dramas because I don't like them. But then I watched Fullhouse, and that became an exception. :(

Now, my second exception is the new drama on Ch55, My Lovely Samsoon. :(

I don't know why it got so addictive, actually. I mean, the plot is pretty recycled -- contract romance, couple that doesn't get along and are in denial about their feelings towards each other, yada yada...

It's just this very 夢幻 kind of story where an entirely normal, even slightly fat, woman (Kim Sun Ah) meets a rich and freaking good-looking boss (Hyun Bin). (N.B. I should add that in real life, bosses are only rich but never freaking good-looking.)

But I am in love with the character Hyun Bin plays. Other than being rich and freaking good-looking, as I have mentioned, he also appears awfully flippant but isn't actually so, is very 跩, very charismatic and gentle with children but has a fiery temper otherwise. He also angsts about his past and has lots of issues. How do I not like a character like this??!!

(OK, I'm starting to feel like Renka from Ouran Koukou... =___=)

And it all began exactly the way it did with Fullhouse... one Sunday afternoon, I was sitting in front of the TV, feeling rather disgruntled about having to watch a Korean drama on TV now, since I was feeling too lazy to move away. I'm like, why do I care if anyone is called Samsoon, duh?

...But tada, I fell.

As for Hyun Bin, I think I am smitten. *_* I also think the whole point behind all this is, he doesn't really look Korean. XD;;

I found out that he was born in 1982, which makes him very near my age, only slightly older, and hence "young", as I'd like to delude believe myself to be so. But then, a simple calculation later, I realise he's going to be 24 this year, and that really is quite a standard kind of age for a young actor to be these days. He's in his mid-20s. He isn't really that young anymore. Which really means... neither am I. .______.

Gosh, I think I'm going to be depressed for a while. Wahah. *is shot*

I should add that I never, ever actively hunt for Korean dramas to watch. In fact, I don't ever hunt for anything, or download them because it's a hassle. I just watch whatever's on Channel 55, which probably is my favourite channel. How can I ever live without Channel 55?! Haha... which probably explains why I watch whatever junk they air. I really ought to exercise some QC, no?! I love their HK dramas, especially. Japanese dramas are few these days, unfortunately... it's difficult to watch a good Japanese drama these days. I really miss watching them! ;_; I don't watch Taiwanese dramas though.

But yes, anyway. Samsoon is what's keeping me glued to the TV over the weekend, apart from the happy BBQ we had at momin's house yesterday and the (involuntary) shopping trip today. Oh, I really should ban myself from buying any more skirts.

Okay. Sleep.
