[Part 2 / 2] Okay, as I said, I was about to drop this drama. (but I’m glad I didn’t!) However, one of the main reasons why I watched this was because of Eru. This drama was aired on his debut anniversary which was September 7. Eru promoted this drama together with his meaningful message during his special day. His dad, Tae Jin Ah, also briefly promoted this one during his guesting in “Comedy BIg League.” (at 4:39 😆) “아들~ 사랑해요~!” Before knowing him by everyone as Professor Park Si Jae from "At a Distance, Spring is Green," “Man in a Veil” was actually Eru’s breakthrough. Eru also led its popularity from the beginning aside from the main leads, and he was TRENDING TOP SPOT in real-time search terms. Every time he appeared, the real-time search terms became a festival. (hello, it’s a KBS2 daily drama!) His song “Black Glasses” was also played in one of the episodes of the drama. The ratings reached almost 20% when he came back on the Christmas episode. (MANNN THAT WAS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR US!) No wonder that Eru had left a huge impact and his power was seriously no joke, although he was having a special appearance here (but it was actually more than that already!) He really grew further into an actor through this drama.  Everyone in the drama is unforgettable but Choi Jun Seok is one of the characters that I can’t forget the most. He’s actually my personal favorite character of Eru, and this made me fall for him as an actor. He was actually the 3rd lead guy here aside from Lee Tae Poong and Cha Seo Joon. And I still have 3rd lead syndrome here!!! He was being sincere while telling his feelings to his lover Han Yoo Ra. He was ready to marry her. He didn’t have any intention to leave her either because he loved her so much. He was ready to take responsible for everything. However, that woman eventually betrayed him, left him in vain, and made his life miserable. Plus their son Min Woo (Dong Ho)... Jun Seok had gone through a lot. Imagine how many times he went into crisis, and then what happened? He came back, right? Until the end, he was there witnessing the end of that woman. I was satisfied with the final judgment. Jun Seok got the justice he truly deserved. I was glad that Eru chose this right after “Kingmaker: The Change of Destiny” because it was very far from his previous one and yet, a more mature one. Everything here was a first time for us. It was something that we had never seen before from him. (gosh i need more of this kind of content from him pls!) But to be honest, I was very surprised that he would be doing a DAILY drama. It was actually okay for me since he mentioned that in an interview but I didn’t know he would actually do ONE, for real. He also partially overlapped with his MBC daily drama “A Good Supper” which aired last January. (that was the time when MIV was about to end. take note: both are daily dramas!) Eru was very unusual in this drama. He showed various emotions of Jun Seok from the beginning up to the time he came back after 5 years until the end. He was different but exceptional. I can also consider him as a legend coz... “he’s the man who never dies.” 😆🤣🔥 Eru and Lee Chae Young's chemistry in this drama... I’ve already said this many times but... OH MY GOOOOD I TOLD YOU GUYS, THEIR CHEMISTRY WAS VERY INSANE THAT I COULD NOT DENY AT ALL! PROMISE!!! 😭🔥💕 From the very first time I saw them, I already felt that they would be a hit, and it really was! Their tandem was one of the strongest I've ever seen in dramaland. They were impressive and amazing here in this drama even though they made me kilig (for a bit 😂), surprised, mad, frustrated and even cry to their scenes, I mean to their tragic love story. I know you all feel the same! 😆 And their interactions on IG... they’re just sweet and cute! I just said what I’ve said! But this! I still can’t believe that of all the dramas, we actually GOT these scenes from them (especially Eru)... in a DAILY drama!? 😱😭😆🙈🙈🙈 From that “first and last” sweet & kilig moment...  😆🙈💕

to this mild but freakin’ HAWT scene... AHHHH SHHHHT I JUST DIED AT THIS K BYE 😱😭😭🔥🔥🔥

a year later, i realized now that i actually felt bad for Jun Seok here but the next episode after this...  (okay guys, you may slap me now! i’m still a FREAKIN’ BIG TRASH FOR THIS DRAMA 🤧😂😭😭😭) Enough with the crazy kilig and uhh! Before this drama, Eru and Lee Chae Young have been friends for a long time now, for 17 years. They even gave each other presents as well. 🥺😭💖 How could you not love them?! Ah btw, I’ve already known Chaeyoung since “Two Mothers” and she’s actually one of my girl crushes in dramaland.. Yeah, it was just amazing to see them together here. I’m soooo proud of them.. but I NEED THEM IN A NEW DRAMA AS THE LEADS PLEASE!! 😭😭😭 (oh, it’s not that I ship them btw ah. haha!) And as a fan of Eru... BINGO!!! I. AM. SUPER. FREAKING. BLESSED. AND STILL KEEP ON WINNING HEREEEE *SCREAMSSSSSS* 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Oh, and I even made a FMV for them.. Haha. I was really inspired by one of the MIV reviews I read from Naver blog, and this song was written there, yet it was so related to Choi Jun Seok and Han Yoo Ra... that's why I made it. And been thinking of this actually for a long time now..The title? “Last Love” by Kim Bum Soo.  hope you all like it! ㅎㅎ

Aside from Lee Chae Young, Eru’s chemistry with Kang Eun Tak was also awesome! I didn’t know him at first but eventually got to love him as well for his role here.. The moment I’d been waiting for had finally happened, when the two dads met for the first time during Dong Ho’s funeral. Their acting there was great. That scene looked real for me yet I was very devastated while watching this. (but I was really in the middle of mourning when that scene aired & it was on a Christmas season. how could i not---?!) I actually expected that to happen yet I was curious how would Lee Tae Poong and Choi Jun Seok meet. Gladly they didn’t have any bad intentions, hard feelings or what. They were just in good terms. At some point, I even thought that if Jun Seok had died for real, he could finally see him in heaven... since his son already died. 😢

これ多分読むの2回目。めちゃめちゃ面白い。奥田先生の書くお話はかなり好き。中でもこれは特別に好きかも。精神疾患がなんだかポップで可愛く見える。もちろん本人は悩んでるし困ってるんだけど、悪くない個性に思える。特に私は尖端恐怖症が再発中だから尖端恐怖症のヤクザのお話は共感できるところがあって面白かった。難しいけど、心が楽になったときや気にしなくなったときっておもしろいくらいに平気になったりするものだから不思議だなあ。そろそろインザプール買おうかな。
