I just realized I’ve been an Entertainer-in-training since 2020. What do I have to do and how much longer will it take me to debut? Most importantly, when will I meet the company president?! 🤣
I’ve been running around doing errands like for soooooo many years due to inactiveness – I think the last time I leveled up was in 2019, but I am at peace with it now.
Life got in the way and I forgot my annual Sungrok Day post to celebrate Shin Sung Rok’s birthday. But as the saying goes: better late than never…
🎂Happy Belated Sungrok Day!🎂
23rd Nov 2023 is was Royal Hotnessโs birthday! 🥳
p/s: for newcomers and those who don’t know, Royal Hotness was SSR’s Dramabeans nickname during The Last Empress back in 2018-19, and I say is still applicable to this day 😎
First, MBCโs KAIROS (2020) (16 eps) is available on Viki US.
This wiki entry gives a synopsis. It is a 2 time line drama separated by a month. An important element course is how the main characters in the two time lines communicate. It was fascinating and had terrific performances. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kairos_(TV_series)
As I supposed, it’s not available on Viki Europe. There are tons of shows not available here (at least we have the new dramas, but I wish there were more older shows too).
Shin Sung Rok ssi, when will you return to dramaland?! Please return soon aka sometime in 2024 because 2023 only has 2 months left and I don’t have hopes for any drama cameo within this year 🥲.
In the meantime, here are several posters from SSR’s current musical (Benhur ⚔️) for the bean wall~
Hahaha. I would watch that drama too!
But he gives me vampire vibes, tbh. Like one of those 100+ years old rich vampire that loves to drink wine and wear suits.
Or maybe wizard? He gives me professor Snape (Harry Potter) vibes.
I don’t know what Benhur is about or if the chariot race happened or not in the musical. But looking at the promo clip there are prop horses and it moves 😂
Oh you didn’t watch the movie? It was very famous with Charlton Heston as the ML. It won a lot of oscars. It’s about Ben-Hur’s life in parallel of Jesus’s life. There were a lof of big scenes like the chariot race .
In France, they did a spectacle in live and the famous chariot race. It’s very complicated to make four horses running beside each other with 6 different chars on the racetrack.
Late to the party but I only found out about the musical BEN HUR today. I would love to see it.
Anyway the chariot race is pulled off. There is a pic in this 25 Oct review in โThe Korea Timesโ: https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2023/10/398_361876.html
The highlight of the show is the Roman chariot race, a climactic moment in which the conflict between the two characters peaks. The scene recreated the grandeur of the Circus Maximus, an ancient Roman stadium. The stage seamlessly shifted and rotated, while dynamic video elements enhanced the overall experience.
I’m not the only one who thinks that it’s a very important scene :p
Sharing my current watch list:
1. Miraculous Bros
2. Durian\’s Affair
And I\’m also keeping an eye on Shin Sung Rok updates. No news of him returning to dramaland anytime soon 🥲
Anyways, what are you guys watching? Anyone watching the same dramas as me?
Happy 2nd Anniversary Kairos!!!
26th October 2020 โ 26th October 2022.
Hopefully Kim Seo Jin and Han Ae Ri continue to live happily, no longer worrying about 1033pm.
