Beanie level: Wrongly accused fugitive

My dear precious Ahjussi,
When I started watching kdramas I was a teenager, now I’m 34. They made me laugh, cry, fall in love, get angry, and learn lessons but none of them touched my heart as much as your My Ahjussi did. It changed me to a better person, stronger and kinder. I can write a book about how much it helped me but words have no power when it comes to my respect for this drama, for Park Dong Hoon.
After that I kinda stopped watching dramas because no new one could hold a candle to it imo (except Lost) but I never dreamed of leaving kdrama world for good. I was waiting patiently and checking on every ongoing dramas.
Until yesterday when I got a text message from my friend saying “now how are you going to rewatch MA without crying, Marina?”
And my heart sank. I opened google and typed My Ahjussi, praying to see nothing unusual specially nothing about LSK but there it was…
It felt like someone had stabbed me in the heart. My fingers trembling, tears of sadness combined with anger started rolling down..
My dear dear dear ahjussi had no one in real life to tell him “it’s not a big deal”, “you’re a good person”, “fighting”, “can I hug you once?.. I want to give you strength” ..
He didn’t have a Ji An in real life to protect him from the ones who he worked hard all his life to bring them respect like how he did on Oscar with Parasite..
He was lonely and it breaks my heart..
He changed me with Park Dong Hoon’s pain and now he changed me with Lee Sun Kyun’s pain.
I will never watch anything from SK again till the end of my life because I believe it wasn’t a sui**** but a mur** when one is forced to end his precious life. I can’t pretend nothing happened and go on.
My dear precious Ahjussi, rest in peace. I owe you and pray for you every day. Thank you

Love🤍

    If anyone want to attack me for how I feel about all this tragedy and what I wrote or delete my acc or anything, please feel free. I lost my faith and I guess this is going to be my last post here, on DB which was and is precious to me since I’ve been a member for yearsssss…
    Just want to add a poem in my language:
    جهان ایستاده بود،
    تو اما می تاختی در سینه ام..
    The world had stopped
    But you were walking in my chest..

      I know exactly how you feel because My Ajhusshi has had a life changing impact on me too. That shared bond is what makes me bold enough to talk to you. Please let us go through this together. Let us be with each other. We need to hold on to each other and walk together to be able to live on. Let us share our feelings, thoughts and emotions. Let us give each other strength to live our lives.

      I can definitely relate and sympathize, because what you’re feeling now is exactly what I felt and was thinking when the news of Jonghyun’s death took place 💔 We all have that one thing, they one drama, that one character, that one actor/actress who has made an imprint into our hearts, and because of that, we are able to see them as human beings outside of their roles and their jobs (yes, it’s just a job) of being a celebrity (actor, actress, singer, etc.), and LSK must have been this person for you 🥺 I urge you to hold onto the good that he has brought into your life ever since your first encounters with him as a fan and admirer of his works. Not to say that you shouldn’t think of what’s happening now and to dismiss your thoughts and feelings over the who situation, but it is because I really do think that LSK would rather his beloved fans remember him in a more positive light (and he probably maybe thought he there was no more light one had in his life and that is why he made the decision to end his own life). If anyone on the DB Community here has an issue with what you have expressed in your grief over someone who’s precious to you and whom has had such an impact on you, well then, the issue lies within them—which they need to think and reflect heavily upon —and not you ♥️

    Marina,
    I share your sadness. For various personal reasons, My Mister is special to me. We lost Lee Kyun-hun far too soon.

    Marina, I remember you as the ultimate MA fan. It’s hard to top that drama but now LSG has made Park Dong Hoon an immortal character for me. It’s always going to live on in my mind. Wishing you well and as Cera said, let’s walk through it together.

    I am enraged, too, and think that the police, if they did what they are accused of, should be trialed for the crime you said. BUT you know what I think, there is this one thought that kept crawling into my mind amidst my anger and sadness, LSK loved acting. It was his passion, and he was extremely talented in it. Dramas and movies had been a place of joy for him and his happiness place. Though I am now seeing SK in a different and more realistic light- de-glorified may I say, the reason I may still continue to watch Kdramas is that he loved it…

    I don’t know what else to say but I want to say that you’re not alone in this. It’s so painful. Like you, my feelings towards Kdramas have changed, and I don’t think I will enjoy them as much as I used to. I might try shows from other countries, but I’ll continue to watch some Kdramas knowing that there are many K actors and actresses out there who are enjoying making their craft. But I’m not intrigued by the country anymore. Such a shame.

      Marina, I forgot to say that reading your post made me cry so much. I felt your deep admiration for him. I don’t know what to say.

    My Ajusshi is the standard by which I judge all tv and movies. Nothing has come close. I’ve spent some time rewatching the parts with Ji An listening to Dong Hun walking and with the two of them talking, to try and console myself. His death is heartbreaking.

    Someone precious has been stolen from us. I feel terrible for his family and friends, and also for IU who seems like a sensitive soul and has spoken publicly about the death of Jonghyun. My only hope is that as K-ent becomes more watched across the world, more attention will be paid to how the actors, singers and dancers are treated (as well as those who work behind the scenes). From my perspective, those at the top in popularity too often become targets to be destroyed at the first hint of a “scandal” rather than admired for the talented artists they are. Lee Sun Kyun cannot be replaced. Neither can Johnghyun or any of the other entertainers who’ve been lost to us the same way.

    I will miss Lee Sun Kyun very much. I’ve loved him since Coffee Prince. It’s hard for me to imagine a world without another of his movies or dramas to look forward to. But I’ll continue to look for the rare gems while trying to guard my heart.

    Marina, I share your deep sorrow. Instead of bringing me comfort, all the tributes given to him at the SBS Awards made me even more upset. We know full well had he been alive, the event would have shunned him totally and completely, to pretend he did not exist. They would have gone the extra mile to not show his face or mention his name, the same exact way it happened at Baeksang. I really hope his closest actor and director friends reached out to him in private if not in public, but I have my doubts.

Hello dear Beanies, hope everyone is fine🤍

I logged in after almost a year because it’s March 21st, My Ahjussi’s 4th anniversary and I can’t miss this beautiful day💙

4 years ago gods of dramaland, gave me the most touching drama ever as a reward because I had been watching kdramas for a decade.
Park Dong Hoon’s kindness and Lee Ji An’s affections saved so many people (including me).
During the time I was away from Dramabeans, I dropped many dramas and thought my drama-watching era has finished! but this time the gods gave me Human Disqualification (Lost) and the beautiful journey of Bu Jeong and Kang Jae made my heart beat for dramas again.
I’m thankful to these two amazing dramas and I’ll be their avid fan for the rest of my life.

Here are some fan arts of my dear My Ahjussi. If you know the artists, please let me know so I can give credit to those fellow MA fans and thank them💎

      Oh I sure am! The writer of My Ahjussi and the director of My Wife is Having an Affair This Week! My dream team! (Well of course the director of MA will always be my favorite😍).
      And the casts! I LOVE all four leads specially Son Suk Ku as a mysterious stranger.
      Hope the drama meets our expectations🤞🏻

I can’t watch any dramas anymore and I guess I need to move out from my precious home DB, for a while and move in Studio Ghibli.
But, Ahjussi, I’ll never stop loving you and forget how you protected me from the real world dramas. You’ve always been like a shield so I could hide behind you, a light so I could see the path to kindness.
I’ll be in Howl’s castle and away from everything but I’ll be here for your 4th anniversary.🤍

Dear February is here and I scroll down with a smile on my lips and warmth in my heart, reading Beanies’ shared short stories.

If it was May, I’d write “I’m grateful for all these fan arts” but I don’t know what I should write now:))

Love My Ahjussi,
Love February

whenever I come here, I like almost all the posts even the ones I don`t understand (the ones talking about unfamiliar names, dramas,..).
This is the only way I can show to those Beanies how thankful I am that they keep the \”Beanies\” section alive. I wish we could like recaps as well.
I`m happy I`ve seen the golden era when the comment icon used to get dark pink.
No matter what, this is my happy place. <3

P.s. I started watching Run On and yessss, I fell in love again! you were right guys, this drama is sooo good and I have no problem with how slow they are going. I like when leads lead me to the path of kindness and Ki Seon-gyeom is doing that!

    I didn’t figure out the Beanies section was even here/what the fan wall was for a long time. I don’t know if it’s because I use my phone rather than a desktop and it’s more hidden or what.

I’ll never forgive two people!
They’re the ones who once said “how about giving Lee Gun/Nam Se-hee new haircuts?”
Like WHY on earth?!
I always love men with short haircut but not for these two.
I mean they were absolutely gorgeous! After the haircut they became.. hmm.. gorgeous. No “absolutely”! (Hope you know I’m in LOVE with them but I just miss how they look in the first half)

P.s I’m rererewatching Fated to Love You (after BTIMFL) and I just want to know why they don’t make dramas like these two anymore?!:( I’m a good person, I deserve to feel excited and impatient for new episodes but none of the new dramas are doing it to me.

    I like both Se-hee haircuts!! Lol. I don’t think I have a preference tbh. I am longing to see Min-ki’s forehead again, though.

    I haven’t seen FTLY but the writer for Min-ki and Nana’s upcoming drama wrote that, too! So fingers crossed it will be to your liking.

    1

      For me, that haircut was Se-hee’s essence! I remember after the first episode, my sister called me and said “ that haircut makes him look weird, doesn’t it?!” And I was like “Se-hee IS weird! Adorable kinda weird! There’s nobody like him in kdramaland, everything he does belongs to him”.
      Someone like Phoebe in FRIENDS! And after the haircut I wanted to cry. Lol

      These days whenever you say something, I’m like WAIT WHAT?!.
      LMK n Nana’s new drama is from FTLY writer?! Excuse me whole I go dry my tears.

Director Kim Won Seok continued, “When I asked Jieun to appear in the drama, she asked me, ‘PD, there was such controversy surrounding me. Is it still okay for me to participate in this drama?’ So I told her I’m fine with it and asked her not to worry.
Because of that, I feel so thankful and apologetic towards Jieun. Jieun contributed a lot to this drama. I feel bad that her old controversy is resurfacing again.
Still, I think I made the right decision to persuade her to appear in this drama. There’s nothing much to talk about Jieun because no words can be used to describe her. But, I’ll say this one thing about her. Compare to how Jieun interprets and expresses Ji-an, my way of describing Ji-an’s character is always lacking.”

Director Kim shed tears as he shared his emotional thoughts. Upon seeing that, the actors burst into laughter as they couldn’t handle his adorable side😂😂

Wow😂
Guysss! I never expected the reason to be something like this😂 now I’m laughing even more! adorable^__^

The whole situation reminded me of the time I was in high school. Sometimes something would happen (not necessarily funny), my two besties would look at me and we suddenly burst into laughter unable to stop, crawling under the seat to hide and in some cases biting our hands to prevent making noises…😂

I’m not crazy about any of the recent dramas so I decided to watch some old ones. started Beautiful Mind some days ago but found everything ridiculous and tiring except Jang Hyuk’s hotness! His unique lips and beautiful voice!

JH in black (head to toe) can save my life!
Wish to see him in another romantic drama like Fated to Love You.

        That is a skill in itself. 14 episodes in one hour lol. I absolutely loved that drama from episode 6 onward but I know it made almost everyone go bonkers.

        We do need Jang Hyuk in a rom com though. He’s been sticking to the more melo, thriller dramas.

        1
        1

          hahaa, I guess so. I`m glad you enjoyed. ^^
          exactly! He`s wonderful in thrillers like Voice but we need to see him in love..

    I dropped at episode 5 or 6. It was too nonsense. I tried watching by FF, but it wasn’t enough to avoid all the nonsense. I’m still sad. I need more JH in my life.

      The moment the FL (a traffic policewoman!!) handcuffed the ML( a neurosurgeon!!), I turned my laptop off because they’d given a new meaning to “ridiculous”…

      But I went back to that again and watched the rest of 13 episodes in 1 hour! FF EVERYTHING except the scenes Jang Hyuk was out of that hospital, wearing black!
      They wasted my man’s time and talent!

      1

    Have you seen Wok of Love? He’s the sweetest gangster. He’s the 2nd lead but they don’t harp on his one-sided love and the bromance with the ML is great.

      It has been on my list since like ages. I love Junho and Jung Ryeo Won as well but when I realized Jang Hyuk is the SL, I hesitated. My heart wasn`t strong enough to see him get rejected and heartbroken. But I guess I`m gonna watch it soon.

        I didn’t watch WoL for exactly the same reason!! Me too needing JH in a romcom and it doesn’t hurt if with Jang Nara for the third time.

          Wok of Love is actually the only drama I’ve seen JH in, so I didn’t have that problem. I really loved him there though. Y’all’s heart might get a liiiittle bit broken, but I thought they handled it well and the bromance makes up for it.

    I haven’t watched a lot of stuff Jang Hyuk is in. However, I did watch Wok of Love, which I liked (although it dragged in the second half). I also recently watched him in Hometown Flex (the variety show) and he was really fun in that (unfortunately, only his episodes were good IMO; the other episodes were boring, notwithstanding that Cha Tae-hyun and Lee Seung-gi were the hosts of the show). I’ve put Voice on my to-watch list because of how much I liked JH in Hometown Flex.

      wow, I`d LOVE to see him in a variety show. Thank you! I`m gonna find that episode and enjoy his charm <3
      I`ve watched Voice and he is fantastic in there but it is autumn, days are short and gloomy and I need some Jung Hyuk-in-love for my heart.. lol

Happy birthday to my dear Lee Ji An, who gave a new meaning to the term “devotion”! She fought for somebody else’s happiness and through the process, she found hers as well💙
It was great to see your journey from misery, pain and darkness to comfort, love and light..

I know you are celebrating this day with Park Dong Hoon and the rest of your friends in Jung Hes’s bar🎂🍺

Thank you for letting me experience fangirling! Plus, as a person who loves running and also washing dishes, when I’m doing them I always close my eyes n pretend that I’m you and enjoy double! Crazy, huh? IK!:))
