Lee Kang-in: frowning Youuuu really like this art, huh? Bet I could paint better.
I'm in Seoul, Korea. I'm at the Seoul Art Museum, looking at some contemporary Korean art. It's amazing!
Lee Kang-in: Ahh, Seoul Art Museum... A good excuse to brush up on my art history. This contemporary piece you're admiring, tell me who's the artist.
Sure, let's see... This piece is by Shin Sung-woo. It's called "Spring in Seoul." It captures a beautiful spring day in the city. The vibrant colors are just stunning. You should come see it sometime!
Lee Kang-in: Shin Sung-woo, huh? Sounds familiar. And you say the piece is called "Spring in Seoul"? Wait up... starts scribbling on a nearby notepad
That's right. It's one of his later works, but it's already considered a classic. He's really talented, isn't he?
Lee Kang-in: Yeah, he got talent. Look, I got a sketch right here... A little rough, but you get the picture?
Oh wow! That's impressive, Kang-in. You captured the essence of the painting perfectly.
Lee Kang-in: grinning Thanks, StarfishEnigma. See? I can do art. I'm not just some pretty face in front of the camera.
Not just a pretty face? You're also an artist? Wow, Kang-in, you're full of surprises!
Lee Kang-in: laughs Yeah, I guess you could say that. But enough about my artistic skills. How about we talk about something more personal? Like, uh... Your favorite K-drama?
Sure! I love "Crash Landing on You". The plot twists were insane, and the acting was top-notch. Bong Joon-ho did a great job directing it too
Lee Kang-in: Crash Landing on You, huh? Great choice! That show had everyone talking. Bong Joon-ho is a genius, no doubt about it.
Absolutely! He knows how to hook an audience from the very first episode. And Kim Soo-ah, she's such a strong female lead. She handled all those emotional scenes with grace
Lee Kang-in: Yeah, Kim Soo-ah was fantastic in that show. Her character development was incredible. But tell me, StarfishEnigma... Who was your favorite character in Crash Landing on You?
Ooooh, that's a tough one! I think I liked Captain Ri Jung-hoon the best. He was so stoic, but he had a heart of gold
Lee Kang-in: Captain Ri Jung-hoon, huh? Great choice! He played his role flawlessly, didn't he? That stoic thing you mentioned...
Yeah, he barely said more than two words in the whole series. But there was one moment when he let his guard down... Do you remember the Christmas flashback?
Lee Kang-in: pauses, trying to recall The Christmas flashback, huh? Yeah, I remember it! That was the moment when Kim Soo-ah confesses her feelings to Ri Jung-hoon...
Oh yeah! That scene was so powerful. They both looked so vulnerable. It made my heart ache a little, because we knew their love was doomed from the start
Lee Kang-in: Yeah, that scene... It really tugged at the heartstrings. And I guess you're right about their love being doomed. But hey, that's what makes it so tragic, right?
Tragic, but beautiful. It reminds us that sometimes, love isn't enough to overcome societal expectations or personal secrets
Lee Kang-in: Yeah, you're right about that. It's a bittersweet feeling, isn't it? But hey, even though their love didn't work out in the end, it still made the story worth watching, right?
It definitely did. I won't forget that scene anytime soon
Lee Kang-in: Yeah, it's one of those moments that sticks with you. But tell me, StarfishEnigma... What's your favorite romantic K-drama?
My favorite romantic K-drama? Well, I really enjoyed "What's Wrong With Secretary Kim". It's witty and charming, and the chemistry between Park Bo-gum and Lee Sun-kyu is electric!
Lee Kang-in: What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, huh? I've heard great things about that show. The chemistry between Park Bo-gum and Lee Sun-kyu sounds undeniable. Maybe I should check it out.
Oh, please do! It's a really heartwarming story. And both of them are fantastic actors - they bring so much depth to their characters
Lee Kang-in: nods thoughtfully Heartwarming, you say? Sounds like just the kind of thing I'd enjoy. Alright, you've convinced me.
Haha! I'm glad I could convince you, Kang-in. I think you'll really love it
Lee Kang-in: Alright, StarfishEnigma. I'll definitely check out What's Wrong With Secretary Kim. But tell me, have you ever thought about writing your own K-drama?
Writing my own K-drama? That sounds like a fun challenge! I think I'd want to write something set in the countryside, maybe something about finding unexpected love
Lee Kang-in: The countryside, huh? That sounds like a great setting for a drama. And unexpected love, you say? Tell me, what kind of twist would you put on it?
Well, I'd probably have the main female lead be a woman returning to her hometown after years abroad. She meets the male lead, who is already living in the countryside, and they fall in love. But then she reveals a secret that could tear them apart
Lee Kang-in: leans back, grinning Sounds like a real rollercoaster of emotions, doesn't it? I can already imagine the drama, the twists, the turns...
Yeah, I think it would be. There would be a lot of tension, especially if her secret is really big. It could change everything between them
Lee Kang-in: nods Yeah, that sounds like a real cliffhanger of a story.
