49 Days: quotes

Finally I got another change to watch --again-- one of my fav k-dramas, 49 Days! Yippie.. =D

This 20-episode drama was first aired in 2011 by SBS. Taking romance and fantasy as its genres, this well-and-beautifully arranged drama unsurprisingly was making me laugh hard and cry a lot even in my second time watching. Check out its promotional poster on the left! It reflects the blue-ness of this drama very well..

If you're happen to now know this drama or never watch it, you can load this link to find its brief summary. I'm very sorry for not write it here because I can't say that I'm in the mood to write it --what a silly excuse!--. Here I wanna share some --some? Hmm.. a lot I say. Hehe..-- quotes taking from the drama's script. But before we go to the quotes, I'd like to introduce main characters of this drama. Not all of them, but only whose words quoted..

YOUTH

Youth is not a stage of life

it is a mental stage;

it is impetus, drive of the will,

an active, alert and vivid imagination

confidence in your emotions.

It is bravery winning over cowardice,

love of adventure triumphing over lethargy.

Nobody gets old because s/he lived a certain amount of years,

only when one's ideals have faded in the distance.

With the years skin gets wrinkly

but the surrender of inspiration wrinkles the soul.

Worries, doubts, loss of confidence, fears and hopelessness,

those are the bricks which pull your head towards the ground

and bend an honest and upright spirit into the dust.

Seventy or seventeen, in the hearts of every human being lives a yearning for the wondrous,

sublime awe at the sight of eternal stars, thoughts and things,

the fearless venture,

the insatiable childlike suspense that the next day brings,

the exuberant joy and zest for life.

You are as young as your dreams,

as old as your doubts,

as young as your confidence,

as old as your fears,

as young as your hopes,

as old as your despair.

As long as the message about beauty, joy, daring, greatness

about the earth,

about the people,

about the infinite

reach your heart, you are still young.

Only when the wings hang downward, and your heart is covered by the snow of pessimism and the ice of cynicism,

only then have you become truly old.

you&i both

There are reasons why we're not together. 
It is laid neither only in you nor only in me. 
It is laid in both of us. 

Two words "thank you" must be said.
Not for coming, but for going away.
Not for your courage to stay, but for your courage to leave.
Not for your perseverance to work on relationship, but for your perseverance to end it.

thank you...

the days of watching "Oh! My Lady": adults and kids

Yap.. yap.. yap... akhirnya aku nonton juga drama satu ini. Oh! My Lady..

Telat banget ya? Apalagi mengingat kata adekku drama ini udah pernah diputer di salah satu TV nasional. But who cares, I ain't a K-drama addict anyway... =D 

Oh! My Lady ditayangkan di Korea sana di tahun 2010. Ditayangkan di Indo kapan? Aku ndak tau. K-drama yang berdurasi 16 episode dibintangi Chae Rim dan Choi Siwon. Ceritanya berpusat pada seorang single mother, Yoon Gae Hwa (Chae Rim), berusia 35 tahun yang gak punya pekerjaan tetap. Dia berjuang untuk dapet pekerjaan yang memadai biar dia dan anaknya, Kim Min Ji, bisa hidup sama-sama lagi --untuk sementara Min Ji tinggal dengan ayahnya yang udah menikah lagi--. Pada suatu hari dia dapet pekerjaan jadi pembantu rumah tangga di apartment Sung Min Woo (Choi Siwon), seorang artis terkenal yang immature dan sebenernya gak profesional --gak pernah baca script termasuk salah satu perilakunya--. Singkat cerita they bumped into each other dan ribut aja setiap kali bertemu. Sampe suatu hari muncullah seorang anak kecil umur skitar 6 tahun yang mengalami mutism, Ye Eun, di apartment Min Woo. Si anak ini ternyata adalah anaknya Min Woo dengan salah satu mantan pacarnya yang kabur ke Amrik. Min Woo sendiri gak tahu bahwa dia punya anak. Akhirnya Gae Hwa move in ke apartmen Min Woo untuk ngurus Ye Eun. Dan seperti yang udah diduga inilah awal kedekatan mereka. Setelah melewati keributan, perkelahian, intrik, dan drama cinta segi enam pun di posternya cuman lima orang, maka bersatulah Min Woo dan Gae Hwa.
