I am just following JiSoo because someday I hope he gets a lead in a movie and a drama in the same year maybe as the same character but then again that is a bad typecast thing for any actor...so a 2 part drama series will do as I loved Page Turner but I thought it was too long.

chanyeol Aug 24 2018 10:15 am oh ji soo was suddenly back...I have missed u oops best of luck with it leading role

popcorn and coke Aug 16 2018 10:42 pm Back when I was kid, around 10 or 11 there was a rumor circulating around our school that a homeless guy was living under the bridge near the Senior High School in our place. Being mischievious and all, my friends and I decided to confirm if the rumor was true or not. Shockingly, it was all true. A guy was listerally living under the bridge on a boat. He was harmless and he was even funny. He talked to us after school hours and we found out his family left him and went to live overseas. He didnt want to burden his aging parents because he was suddenly jobless after leaving the city (we're living in a small town). I think he went a little crazy maybe from suddenly losing his job then his wife and kids. He said he could predict our future by reading our palms and we just made him comfortable and showed him our palms. He said so many silly things but he was always kind and warm. After a month, he suddenly vanished and we never saw him again. I'll watch this drama because it reminds me of him, a friend from our childhood.
