He had been looking forward to your birthday for months now, having wanted to do something special for you this year. Not that he hadn't done things for you before, hell he always made sure that every day in your relationship was an unique adventure, but birthdays were different. He had made sure that he got you out of the house that day, convincing your friends to whisk you away while he prepared the surprise. He was going to prepare your favorite food and dishes that you loved, things you haven't eaten in a while. Now he had asked for help from the actual cooks in the household. Ingredients and recipe, but that was about it. He wanted to do it himself, ignoring the protests of the staff and starting his... journey?
Now the cutting of the ingredients should go fine, Soo-Ho was after all a man with fine sword skills. One problem, a knife was nothing like a sword... Soo-Ho ended up having more cuts in his fingers than greens that he had to cut in the first place, wounds covered by bandages to keep it from the food.
Second step, actually cooking everything. Sounds easy, right? Soo-Ho believed it to be, he had definitely underestimated it. Not even halfway the food caught fire. He tried again, this time successfully not letting it catch fire. It was a bit burned on the side, maybe a bit too crispy compared to what it was supposed to be but it would be fine. Hopefully... It took about an hour more for everything to be finished, all slightly burned around the edges but fine nonetheless. So he plated everything, setting the table with utmost care and then he waited.
You arrived home not much later, smiling brightly as you bid your friend goodbye before seeing the present in front of you. The smile on Soo-Ho's face made your heart melt, the food before made it skip a beat. You took a seat across from him, looking at all of the food before you.
"Did... Did you make this?" You asked, tone wavering slightly as you took a good look at the food. Unlike what Soo-Ho thought, the food was actually burned. Nonetheless, you picked up your utensils and took the first bite. Soo-Ho waited patiently for your approval, but the truth was that you could hardly control your expressions. Placing your utensils back down, you could only sigh as you folded your hands in your lap. Soo-Ho's face fell and you felt your heart break as you tried to find a way to break the news to him nicely.
"It's edible..." You started, watching your husband's reaction before continuing. "And I really appreciate the thought behind it, but maybe we should leave the cooking to the cooks?" You questioned and this time Soo-Ho's smile completely disappeared.
"Darling?" You waited for him to look up from the food and at you instead, which he did after a couple of seconds with a big pout on his face while he poked at the food. He then took a bite himself, his face immediately changing to a look of confusion followed by slight disgust. Lifting a cloth to his mouth, he quickly spit it out again before looking at you.
"How can you even swallow that?" He asked and you chuckled at him before rising from your seat and making your way to him, sitting beside him.
"Happy birthday, even though the food sucks." He then said and you leaned your head on his shoulder, wrapping your arms around him in a way of comfort. Just then you noticed the little makeshift bandages, immediately letting go of him and taking ahold of his hands instead. Lifting them high enough, you inspected them carefully after lifting the bandages slightly.
"Did you cut yourself while cooking?" You asked, to which your husband shyly nodded as he tried to hide the blush that started forming on his face. You raised his hands and gently kissed the wounds before taking ahold of his face and placing a kiss on his lips.
"I am so glad I married you." You smiled at him and he was quick to smile back, kissing you again before looking back at the food.
"How about we cook something else together?" You asked, to which Soo-Ho agreed quickly, and you moved to gather all the bad dishes. Bringing it to the kitchen, you quickly cleaned everything before starting on the cooking. Soo-Ho stayed back this time, just watching you with care as you prepared the food. Halfway through the cooking, he moved to watch over your shoulder while back hugging you and whining every few seconds that he could've done it on his own. You just ignored the whining, instead focusing on the food before you as to not burn it again.
I simply adore this Choi Hyun Wook interview, it shows he had lots of thoughts on soo ho's invisible emotions and his relationship with beom seok.
Soo Ho actually cares about Beom Seok until the end and I'm wallowing in pain.
Q. While acting Soo Ho, what was the most difficult part ?
"Choi Hyun Wook : His approach/process of how he handles beom seok. I thought there was a very thin line where it could be interpreted like soo ho discriminate beom seok. From beom seok point of view, there's possiblity of misunderstanding because he might not have seen soo ho's sincerity, but I wished to show the side of soo ho who tried to understand his friend to not lose him. I could clearly understand soo ho's emotions as he tried to hold into beom seok to not lose him."
Q. The scene where we could see those emotions the most was when he apologized to beom seok.
"Choi Hyun Wook: i cried because of this scene. Even when reading the script i cried a lot. Despite the fact that beom seok hurt si eun, it was an apology that showed he couldn't let go of any string until the end, seeing beom seok stray hurt my heart a lot. Soo ho calls beom seok's name often. Even when beom seok cut the line [in the cafeteria he says "get in line, beom seok"], in the beginning there was no line of him calling beom seok's name. But while staring into (Hong) Kyung hyung's eyes, I saw him as beom seok, and that's how I came to say him name. Whether it love/hate or affection, I couldn't help feeling this foreign emotion from soo ho. That's how i came to call beom seok name a lot."
Q. How was it working with actors Park Ji Hoon and Hong Kyung.
"Choi Hyun Wook: I really liked it. While working with them, they dragged a lot of emotions out of me, and it became really intense. We were sincere to each other while filming and worked hard. The process of seeing them succeeding at acting what they thoroughly prepared seemed firm. And after the drama was released, I was in admiration as i could see the scenes where i was absent on the set, coming out of the screen. (Hong) Kyung hyung doesn't show a lot of changes in his expression, but he managed to make us feel all his past through the way he expressed them. He's a delicate actor. It was the first time I had the experience of acting unconsciously while working with Kyung-i hyung. I fell into that person so much. Kyung-i hyung have that charm."
Everything hurts… He was so so so tired, all he wanted to do was rest, for a day, weekend or a month. He wasn't sure, but he knew he had to hold on.
He knew since the start that they would never be together and he was okay with that, he was following a bigger plan, seems fair nothing never happens.
But there they were.
Everything hurts, but he didn't really care anymore, all he could think about was her. She was crying, covered in blood… at least it was not hers.
He knew, at the time he recorded the tape, that he would have to leave her behind, even before that, he knew it was not safe for her to be with him.
But God, he really wishes things to be different.
Everything hurts, he is tired, but he has to hold on, for her.
They're gonna burst through that door at any moment, and she is here, vulnerable, exposed… crying for him... because of him, again.
He should have regretted it, didn´t he? Put her in this position, exposed to such a danger, exposed to so much pain…
Oh, God, he swears he didn't want this.
But how could he regret everything, if it was everything that brought her into his life?
Of course there were things he regretted, too many things, all the horrible things he had put her through, all the harsh things he had to say, all the pain he put her through… he regretted it, all of it.
But how could he regret being by her side?
They´re here.
She 's here.
They're gonna shoot without mercy.
She´s exposed.
They're going to shoot us.
She's going to die.
They don't care.
I WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.
Everything hurts.
I'm dying.
But, Thank you, God, she is safe.
I can't feel the pain anymore, everything is numb.
I´m sorry, I didn't want to make you suffer anymore.
I wish we had more time.
I can't feel the pain, but I feel your hand, I feel your face, I feel your love… I really hope you listen to mine.
I wish you never have to see this.
God, is it wrong to feel relieved?
Her face is the last thing I see, as they drag her away for me.
I wish I could hold on to her a little longer.
Everything is dark, he doesn't feel a thing anymore…
He knows he has no more time.
As his conscience fades, all he can do is pray… so he does.
He prays for her safety.
He prays for well being.
He prays for her future.
He prays and prays and prays…
And before he could finally be with his sister, he pray one last time:
- Please, please, please… let me find her, please, let me be with her, please, in the next life, let me stay with her, let me love Eun Young-ru the way she deserves.
Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my first language!
I feel really empty. I have watched a ton of drama. And recently I cried the most in HomeCha. But this one is different. I don't know why? I cried. And i thought that was it. I'm still crying. I think of Soo Ho's scene when he look at Youngro one last time. I felt all the pain. Even right now. Typing this I'm crying. I hate what they did to me they're so good portraying their role that they made me feel this way. I'm too attached. Nothing can justify what i feel right now. How can i move on? How?
So I'm watching snowdrop now! And I just can't seem to get over it😱😱😱😱. So I want a kdrama recommendation! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!
I'm looking for something with a lot of angst and tension. Something which has a cute and innocent romance plot. And a solid story apart from the romance.
