The blossom season in Korea

시인 임영조 님의 ‘대책 없는 봄’

무엇이나 오래 들면 무겁겠지요.

앞뜰의 목련이 애써 켜든 연등을

간밤에 죄다 땅바닥에 던졌더군요.

고작 사나흘 들고도 지루했던지

파업하듯 일제히 손을 털었더군요.

막상 손 털고 나니 심심했던지

가늘고 긴 팔을 높이 벋어서 저런

하느님의 괴춤을 냅다 잡아챕니다.

파랗게 질려 난처하신 하느님

나는 터지려는 웃음을 꾹 참았지만

마을 온통 웃음소리 낭자합니다.

들불 같은 소문까지 세상에 번져

바야흐로 낯 뜨거운 시절입니다.

누구 짓일까, 거명해서 무엇하지만

맨 처음 발설한 것은 매화년이고

진달래 복숭아꽃 살구꽃이 덩달아

희희낙락 나불댄 게 아니겠어요

싹수 노란 민들레가 망 보는 뒤꼍

자꾸만 수상쩍어 가보니 이런!

겁 없이 멋대로 발랑 까진 10대들

냉이 꽃다지 제비꽃 환하더군요

몰래 숨어 꼬나 문 담뱃불처럼

참 발칙하고 앙증맞은 시절입니다.

나로서는 대책 없는 봄날입니다.

Ruler of Your Own World

Special Video Clip







Story of Ruler of Your Own World

Go Bok Soo(YDG) just came out from the prison. He met Kyung(LNY) at bus station.
He steel her walet, the money for medical operation fee her friend.
She lost the money, the friend died.

After that Bok Soo and Kyung met again, she found out the money taken by him, so hate him... Bok Soo feel so sorry don't know what to do.
So stat just hang around her all the time. And they both start their special relationship from there.

This drama also include best characters around.
Bok Soo's fatehr(Shin Goo) and mother(Yoon Yoe Jung), and his girlfriend(Gong Hyo Jin) who did really good job for the drama.
If you meet them on the drama, you can't avoid from each of the sadness.



양동근 YdG Yang Dong Geun


This is one of special drama which delivered special emotion in 2002.
The main actor, Yang Dong Geun(양동근) has special personality, who sings also.
He is not good looking man, but has namy different fans around. He turns on his charm when the camera rolling. He has the powerto the audience.
Recently he act on a drama [Dr.껭 Ggeng:MBC-2007] and [I am Sam 아이엠샘:KBS2-2007].


Dr.껭 Ggeng:MBC-2007


I am Sam 아이엠샘:KBS2-2007


이나영 Lee Na Young


Main actress, Lee Na Young(이나영) also has something very special atmosphere. She has pretty look, but when she play on the drama, you can catch something tough from inside of her. She act another drama [아일랜드 Islands:2004-MBC] with Hyun Bin(현빈) and Kim Min Jun(김민준). Kim Min Jun played simular character with YDG(Ruler of your own world), but it didn't work out. From this drama, there were another star came out, that famous of [My name is Kim Sam Soon 내 이름은 김삼순]'s Sam Sik, Hyun Bin(현빈). He is the lunky guy who got the spotlight when Kim Min Jun couldn't catch up YDG's charisma.

More picutres of LNY




Lee Na Young in [Islands]


Hyun Bin in [Islands]



Because of both YDG and LNY delivered too deep impression to the audience, after [Ruler of Your Oqn World 네 멋대로 해라], I believe that they had difficulty choose next drama.

Many people still love this drama.
This is one of 'Must watch'! :)

마음이 잔인해지지 않구, 어떻게 한 사람만을
좋아합니까? 착한 마음으로는.. 세상 전부를
좋아하게 되잖아요.. 그러니까..
하나만 좋아하려면 착해선 안되요...
잔인하게.. 한 사람 좋아할래요...
나중에 후회해도.. 좋을 사람...

===========================================
미래야..
내가 너를 얼마나 좋아하는데...
근데... 좋아하는데....
그 사람이 너무나...
심장에 깊이 박혀서...
그걸 뜯어내면 심장마비로 내가 죽어...
살자고 하는 짓이니까....
니가 용서해...응?
날씬하고.. 이쁜 미래야...
밥 잘먹고.....

===========================================
너같은 년들은 잡생각이 많아서
믿음이란걸 모르지?
믿는다는게 뭔줄 아냐?
그 사람이 날 속여도 끝까지
속아 넘어가면서도 믿어버리는거..
그게 믿음이다..
근데.. 복수는 안속여...

===========================================
내가 본 복수씨 손은..
어머니 발을 만지던 손이었어요...
그게.. 나한테는.. 복수씨 손이에요...
그리구.. 조금 놀랐지만.. 그 험한 기억이..
복수씨가 살아왔던 현실이라면...
난.. 그것두 좋아할래요....
내가 보지 않은건.. 생각 안할래요...

사랑하는 남자와 여자는,
둘 사이에 가로놓인,
죽음의 벽에 주먹질을 합니다..
그러나, 벽은...
남자와 여자의 노력보다 강합니다..
지친 남자와 여자는,
그 벽에 얼굴을 기대고,
가만히 눈을 감고,
벽을 통해 사랑을 이야기합니다...
남자와 여자는,
이제.. 그 죽음의 벽마저.. 사랑합니다..

===========================================
그 사람의 마음은..
내 마음을 울려요...
1분도 1초도 안쉬고,
내 마음을 울려요,..

===========================================
