140821: Describe your muse as a beverage, be it alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
If one had to compare Detective Kim Woobin as a beverage, whether it be alcoholic or non-alcoholic, he would be described as the following drinks below for said reason:
Definition: Whisky or whiskey is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. Various grains (which may be malted) are used for different varieties, including barley, corn (maize), rye, and wheat. Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks, generally made of charred white oak.
Like a distilled beverage, Woobin is undergoing a life long process where he is able to find himself after removing diluted components. In whiskey, you would remove the water for the purpose of increasing its proportion of alcohol content. In his life, he would remove anything that he deems to be counter productive for self-growth. This is all in order to reach a personal enlightenment with hopes he would one day be content with life.
Like the various grains that are used in different varietities of whiskey, various key factoring events that Woobin has experienced have made him quite versatile. Those events, whether they were good ones or bad ones, have helped shaped him into the well-rounded man he is today.
The fermentation process that is used in the making of whisky can be compared to Woobin's unbecoming habit of harboring grudges and hatred against those who have wronged him in the past. He has never be the one to simply forgive and forget. So while it may take him a considerable amount of time to forgive someone, he never, ever forgets it.
Definition: Lemonade is a lemon-flavored drink sweetened with sugar. In different parts of the world, there are variations on the drink and its name (such as pink lemonade, frozen lemonade, and limeade).
You know that proverbial phrase used to encourage optimism and a can-do attitude in the face of adversity or misfortune, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade"? That's basically what Woobin does, figuratively speaking.
Like a lemon, Woobin can be both tart and sweet depending on the company he has or the situation he finds himself in. For some reason people first view him as being a bitter and cold man -- much like a glass of lemonade. However, while that may be true to some extent, he does has his moments where he is not. In fact, around certain people he is close with, he shows off his naturally sweet and compassionate side.
It is also befitting that he is compared to this iconic summer drink as he was born in the month of July -- the 16th to be exact. In addition to that notion, there have also been several occasions where others have described the consulting detective in the same way they would describe a tall, ice cold glass of lemonade: cool, sharp, and extremely satisfying (in bed).
