    Heh. I can’t find her exact quote but comedian Mindy Kaling has said that everyone’s an architect in American romcoms. She said something like, “There are only five architects—and my dad’s one of them.” (There are 100,000 registered architects in the USA, with a high rate of unemployment.)

      Wow. Such a big number. I kind of feel that architect is too subjective a profession, much like actors where one is evaluated more based on preference and taste. Maybe, that’s part of the reasons of high unemployment rate. Oth, engineer is more objective -with straight one answer. I really love that Dong Hoon cares to explain the difference between these two professions to Ji An. As they said, architect’s concern is on the aesthatic, engineer’s focus is on the safety while QS looking at monetary value.

          Yes. That’s what I am doing though I am not nearly as good as Dong Hoon, I am sure. Plus, he is on maintenance side which mean his works is a lot harder. Constructing new structure is a lot easier than actually tracing the root cause of a problem and trying to fix it.

          Anyway, I have seen your name somewhere on soompi’s forum of Live Up To Your Name?

            yes yes.. his work is lot more harder and critical but this does not mean yours is any less critical. cause if you wont make a sturdy structure it won’t last long.. so i guess both are two sides of one coin.

            yeah i was on Live upto your name page on soompi for sometime while i was watching the show. So visited it to find some more information abt Kim Nam Gil 😍😍😍
