Decision To Leave
Tumblr media
Movies watched in 2023
Decision To Leave (2022, South Korea)
Director: Park Chan Wook
Writers: Chung Seo Kyung & Park Chan Wook
Mini-review:
Park Chan Wook is probably my favorite director, so you can imagine how excited I was about Decision To Leave, with it being his first movie in 6 years. And, of course, he doesn't disappoint. Sure, it's definitely not at the level of his best movies, but it's still a great film in pretty much every way. It may take its time when setting up the story and the characters, but it's never boring because the acting, the directing and the writing are masterful. Tang Wei and Park Hae Il give spectacular performances, and it's obvious that Park Chan Wook had a lot of fun making this movie. I admit the storyline was much more simple and straightforward than I expected, but maybe that's what allowed the director to experiment and play around with the cinematography, the editing and the structure of the scenes. All this results in a visually fascinating movie.
I seriously hope it doesn't take 6 more years for Park Chan Wook to release another movie.

Decision To Leave
★★★☆☆ Sobresaliente en lo visual, pero bastante más convencional en lo argumental; este intrincado noir que deriva en romance tempestuoso supone una más que digna obra en la soberbia filmografía del surcoreano Park Chan-wook. Sin embargo, para el espectador curtido, la historia que aborda Decision To Leave (Heojil kyolshim), a lo largo de casi dos horas y veinte minutos está repleta de lugares…

June Reading and Reviews by Maia Kobabe
I post my reviews throughout the month on Storygraph and Goodreads, and do roundups here and on patreon. Reviews below the cut.
A First Time For Everything by Dan Santat 
A beautifully illustrated memoir of a shy, Asian American thirteen year old's first trip to Europe, in 1989. Dan is a painfully self-conscious kid, bullied at school despite his best efforts to slip invisibly through the school halls. But on a three week summer trips with a dozen other kids his age, some from his school and some from other states, he begins to find himself. This story is framed through a series of "firsts"- first time traveling without his parents, first time tasting Fanta, first cigarette, first alcoholic drink, first time navigating a city alone, first kiss, first time sharing his art with someone. The main narrative of the trip is woven through with flashbacks to particularly emotional past moments- asking a girl out, being romantically rejected, rejecting someone else, helping a girl out who had gotten her period unexpectedly. It captures the wretchedness of junior high, and the way traveling can teach people both about the world and themselves.
Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning by Cathy Park Hong
An impactful series of essays that circles around the meaning of "Asian American" sometimes in very broad strokes, sometimes narrowing to the author's specific experience as a bilingual Korean American writer who grew up in the Los Angeles area in the 80s and 90s. I really appreciated the mix of memoir and history, research and cultural critique. Topics range from therapy, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, racism in academia, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, stand up comedy, the 1992 LA riots, the way childhood is not allowed equally to white and POC kids, the film Moonrise Kingdom and the 1965 Civil Rights movement, shame, deconstructing the English language in poetry, the 2012 documentary Wildness about a trans bar scene in LA, intense female friendships in art school, the poet Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's life and death, activist Yuri Kochiyama, and what debt, if any, an Asian American writer and thinker owes to America. This is a book I can see myself re-reading in a couple years, and getting more from it on a second read; it's rich with quotes and references to other writers, artists and thinkers who have informed Hong's thoughts. Definitely recommend.
In Limbo by Deb JJ Lee 
I'm not going to give this book a star rating, because it deals with some extremely heavy topics I have no experience with (multiple suicide attempts, physical abuse of a child by a parent). This memoir covers four years of the main character's life, all of high school. Korean American Jung Jin, who goes by Deborah or Deb at school, made most of her friends in orchestra in junior high. But in high school she falls out of love with violin and quits music to focus more time and energy into drawing. She floats through school, feeling disconnected from peers and family, especially her mother, who swings from supportive to volatile. Another main theme is friendship- a solid, long-term friendship which Deb neglects, and a shorter, intense friendship that consumes Deb's emotional world until it falls apart. This is a story of quiet survival, of incremental steps towards healing, balance, and self actualization. Like life, it is somewhat loose in structure, but the illustrations are stunning.
The Women Could Fly by Megan Giddings read by Angel Pean
Set in a world similar to but one step sideways from our current world, this story follows Jo, a creative, biracial, bisexual woman trapped by the restrictions of her society. In this US, women are under constant suspicion of witchcraft, a crime that can still be punish by public burnings. Women who aren't married by 30 are especially suspected, and have to check in with a counselor bi-weekly, and risk losing their jobs, freedom, and ability to have their own bank accounts or own property. Jo is 28, and while she is causally dating, she has no interest in marriage. She has a hard time believing that love can even exist under the pressures placed on women. It doesn't help that her mother disappeared when Jo was 14, and during the investigation, she was questioned by witch hunters. It's been 7 years and Jo's father decides it's finally time to declare Jo's mom officially dead. This ends up opening up a clause in her will that requests Jo travel to a island in the middle of one of the Great Lakes on a very specific day in autumn and collect a certain fruit that only grows there... This book is so skillfully written, for the first half I was left wondering if magic really did or did not exist; it could just be the excuse that men used to oppress women, queer people, and people of color. But then the book takes a really Kelly Link or Octavia Butler-like twist in the middle and gets weirder and wilder. Highly recommend, especially the audiobook.
How A Mountain Was Made: Stories by Greg Sarris 
A collection of short stories by long time Chairman of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, Greg Sarris; a writer I've been hearing about for years and am finally sitting down to read! These stories are all set around the Sonoma Mountain and Cotati, very close to where I grew up, and I loved being able to picture the foggy mornings, the many oaks, the quail, poppies, lupine, hawks, coyotes, and creeks in these stories. The book has a frame narrative of two crow sisters, Question Woman and Answer Woman, who introduce each story and also appear as characters in one. The stories are interwoven, nearly all set in the village by Copeland Creek where Coyote lives as headman with his wife Frog, his cousin Chicken Hawk, and his many neighbors. The stories use a lot of the kind of repetitive language that lends itself to memorization; I honestly didn't feel like sitting down and reading the book cover to cover wasn't the best way to experience them. It might have been better to flip the book open to a random story and read whichever one caught my eye, especially to read it out loud, either to myself or to a young listener. Maybe I'll get an opportunity to read it that way sometime to a nibling.
The Two Doctors Gorski by Isaac Fellman read by Helen Laser
Annae is a PhD student, a brilliant researcher, and a survivor of academic abuse. She is forced to leave the US when her former mentor claims her research and ruins her name (after sleeping with her). They work in a small field, advanced magic so complex it feels almost more like science, so Annae transfers to a university in the UK to complete her degree. There she finds herself in a cohort of entirely male graduate students under a famous but cruel teacher. Her main defense mechanism and invasive habit is reading minds, a kind of compulsive act that lets her see how her peers view her, and themselves. Unsurprisingly, these insights bring her no peace; Annae tries to rebuild her research, but urge to fall into the same traps as her role models is strong. This is a novella, only about 4 hours as an audiobook, and fairly open ended but I'm still thinking about it.
The Wolf at the Door by Charlie Adhara read by Erik Bloomquist 
In this contemporary murder mystery/romance novel, werewolves exist and have always lived in small numbers around the world. A few years before this story starts werewolves outed themselves to the US government in order to better liaison with law enforcement to address werewolf-human crimes, but the general public still does not know werewolves exist. Cooper Dayton survived a werewolf attack, and is subsequently transferred from his former job at the FBI into the BSI, the Bureau of Special Investigation. When two bodies turn up in the woods in rural Maine, Agent Dayton is chosen for a trial program, and he is paired up with an agent from The Trust, the werewolf government. Dayton is attracted to his new partner, Agent Park, immediately- but when it turns out Park's family is active in the area of the murder, Dayton realizes he can't rule out the possibility that his co-worker might be actively covering for the criminal. This book starts an enjoyable paranormal romance series complete with plenty of spice but also very solid procedural mysteries. I was glad to be able to guess some parts of, but not all of, the mystery as it unfolded and I also thought the romance novel beats hit well!
The Wolf at Bay by Charlie Adhara read by Erik Bloomquist 
At the start of this second installment in my new favorite paranormal romance/murder mystery series, Agent Cooper Dayton and Agent Oliver Park of the Bureau of Special Investigations have been sleeping together for 4 months but still have not defined their relationship. Some of their miscommunications stem from cultural misunderstandings, but more of it comes from them both being too gun shy to be the first one to say "I love you." Meanwhile, Cooper takes Oliver to meet his family in the small town of coastal Maryland where he grew up- introducing Oliver only as his partner at work, because Cooper's family don't know he is gay and also don't know werewolves exist. Then a 25 year old skeleton is uncovered on the Dayton family property, and Cooper and Oliver have to set aside their other issues to solve the cold case, which might implicate one or both of Cooper's parents. A very enjoyable second book which manages to avoid a lot of the things that often bug me in romance novels and develops the relationship in satisfying ways.
The Mermaid, The Witch and The Sea by Megan Tokuda-Hall 
Evelyn, the closeted lesbian teen daughter of nobles in an oppressive and strict empire, sets to sea aboard the Dove on a six month voyage to meet the husband her parents have chosen for her. On the Dove she meets Florian, a sailor her own age she who she befriends despite his lack of education and rough manners. But what Evelyn doesn't know is that Florian is also Flora, an orphan who joined the crew out of desperation and killed a man in cold blood to earn her place. And also- the ship is crewed by pirates, who plan to take all of the passengers as slaves. They have also committed a crime against the very sea itself: the capture of a mermaid with intent to sell it's blood, which men drink to forget. This is a dangerous and violent world, but the connection between Evelyn, Florian/Flora and the mermaid might be enough to save them all, with the help of some cleverness, bravery, magic, and love. This book had some tonal shifts that I struggled with, but I deeply appreciated the multifaceted queer rep.
Thrown to The Wolves by Charlie Adhara read by Erik Bloomquist 
The third book in the werewolf/detective romance series I've been wolfing down on audiobook. In this installment, Cooper Dayton, human BSI agent, is still heaving from the wounds of his previous case when Oliver Park, werewolf BSI agent, learns that his grandfather and head of the pack he abandoned several years ago died. Oliver asks Cooper to come with him to the funeral, and Cooper agrees, having no idea what he's getting into. The couple narrowly avoids a deadly car-crash on the way up to the family mansion in Canada, where Cooper learns that even though Oliver's family is fine with him being gay they are not really fine with him dating a human. Several of Oliver's relatives very explicitly try to scare Cooper off, then he's shot with a tranquilizer in what may or may not be an accident, then it turns out that Oliver's grandfather might not have died of natural causes. Amongst all this chaos, will Cooper decide the wolf world is just too much and that he needs to back away from it? Or will be just dive in even deeper? Even though I could easily guess the answer, I am still very hooked and will definitely read more!
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman 
Seraphina is the assistant composer to the royal family of Goredd, which means she lives in the castle and spends her days auditioning new musicians, leading rehearsals, performing at state functions and giving the vivacious, whip smart, slightly spoiled princess her weekly harpsichord lessons. In two weeks, the most important dragon general will be visiting the capital city to celebrate the 40 year anniversary of the peace treaty between humans and dragons which he negotiated with the current human queen. But then one of the members of the royal family is killed, and some people start pointing the finger at dragons; tensions begin to rise in the city as anti-dragon mobs attack a young dragon traveling the city in his human form. Amidst this tension, Seraphina is even more desperate to keep her longest and darkest secret: that she is half dragon, and carries hidden scales, maternal dragon memories, and a mental link with other powerful beings. This was such an original take on a dragon fantasy, with a rich and complex world, characters that I immediately cared for and rooted for. I'm definitely going to keep reading this series!
Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing by Charlie Adhara read by Erik Bloomquist 
Human boyfriend Cooper Dayton and his werewolf boyfriend Oliver Park are trying to buy a house together; but their aesthetic sense of what makes an inviting home is vastly different, and neither of them are communicating their needs well to the other. How convenient that their next case for The Trust, the werewolf government, involves them going undercover to a couple's retreat where they will investigate a missing person report while also doing bonding exercises and couple's therapy. Will Cooper finally acknowledge that he was PTSD? Will Park admit their massive family wealth disparity could be a source of tension between them? Will they manage to figure out the link between a threatening park ranger, a local lumber mill owner who wants to buy the land the wolf retreat is built on, not one but two missing employees, the mysterious research of a wolf scientist (who may have experimented on his own children), a wolf pack leader showing up at the retreat unexpectedly? This installment continues the development of the central relationship while also fleshing out the lore and intricacies of the wolf world.

Weak Hero Character Names
For those who don't know, the Weak Hero webtoon anglicized a bunch of the characters' first names from Korean to English. They don't do this for newly introduced characters anymore AFAIK, but all the names they anglicized initially have been kept that way.
Since I've gotten a few people asking about the names, so I decided to compile a list of their original Korean names. You can find amost of these on their character profiles on the Weak Hero fandom page, but I figured people would appreciate having a quick reference that is all in one place. Hopefully this helps people learn/connect their original names.
Remember, this is not a full character list, it's for finding the Korean names of the characters that had their names anglicized.
The format will be:
Anglicized Name -> Korean Name (common alternative romanizations will be in parenthesis)

Gray Yeon -> Yeon Sieun (Shi-eun)
Phillip Kim -> Kim Pilyoung (Pil-young)

Teddy Jin -> Jin Taeoh (Tae-oh)
Daehyeon High
Dean Kwon -> Kwon Hyeokjin (Hyuk-jin)

Harper "Helmet" Ha -> Ha Huicheol (Hee-chul)
Hugo Yoon -> Yun Hoyeong (Yoon Ho-young)
Jack Kang -> Kang Jeongyeon (Jung-yun)
Jimmy Bae -> Bae Jihun (Ji-hun)
Other Recurring/Relevant Characters

Dogs in the Snow [Park Jung Soo - Leeteuk x FemOC Freya]
A short fanfic with a female OC.
Featuring K-Actor Hong Jong Hyun and SUPER JUNIOR's leader Leeteuk (Park Jung Soo).
Freya waves to the armchair by the fireplace to invite him to sit down.  
Hong Jong Hyun, South Korean actor she befriended half a year ago, takes a seat with his typical bright teeth wolf like smile. He’s the very embodiment of fitness and good nature. And also a player and thief of hearts. Freya would never think she will find a common ground with such a man but Jong Hyun’s cheerful spirit is difficult to fight. He decided to become friends with her and so that happened. His stubbornness can match her own. After all what happened she couldn’t deny the little spark of joy from his visit.  
“What brings you here, Jong Hyun?” Freya asks as she is pouring tea into delicate tea cups. This isn’t her house. It belongs to Victoria, Freya’s sister who got married to Cha Hak Yeon, leader of South Korean group VIXX. Their marriage is a happy one and Victoria is currently overflowing with health and good spirit from her pregnancy. She will soon give birth to three children! Nobody could doubt Hak Yeon’s prolificacy. And his generosity and care were undeniable as well. Shortly after the marriage Hak Yeon purchased a piece of land in a prominent part of Seoul and he personally participated in designing the new house to be built there for his wife and future family. It’s all finished now. And Victoria made sure to turn the place into a proper home and aristocratic mansion by hiring servants. Victoria and Freya are from a very old noble family originating in Rigantona. Victoria was born to become a real mistress of a large mansion, she was supposed to marry a noble man from an old respectable family and live the life of a true lady. However Victoria was never a gentle and weak soul and she chose her own path and married an idol from the far east.  
When Freya was struck with another misfortune, Victoria and Hak Yeon insisted on her coming to Seoul and living in their house.  
“How are you feeling, Freya?” Jong Hyun asks and he watches her carefully. Her hands are slightly shaking while pouring the tea. She is dressed in white – long white silken tunic with silver embroidery and soft white loose fit trousers. She’s wearing a flexible wide white band on her head putting her long wavy dark brown hair away from her baby blue eyes. Jong Hyun is worried in his mind. When he met Freya for the first time, she was already slender and her eyes were lifeless like the eyes of a porcelain doll. Jong Hyun could see she was even more bony and lifeless now. She looked pale and sick, sad and joyless.  
Freya puts the teapot down and hands him one of the cups. She takes the other and sits in an armchair next to him. “How would you expect for me to feel, Jong Hyun?” Freya inhales sharply and sips from the cup.  
“I don’t know, to be frank. You are a mysterious woman, Freya.” Jong Hyun bends and rubs the head of one of Hak Yeon’s dogs. He’s got three of them, male Rottweilers named after VIXX’s albums – Kratos, Zelos and Hades. They were a gift from Freya's other sister, veterinarian Calliope. Jong Hyun could never tell the dogs apart but Hak Yeon loved them as if they were his children and could recognise them easily in the dark.  
“I keep no secrets from you.” Freya reacts openly.  
“Then tell me this: Do you eat regularly?”  
Her hand freezes in the middle of a move and she shuts her eyes. Her lips bitterly curve. “Is this why you came? To criticise and lecture me like everybody else in this house already does?” Freya opens her eyes and gives Jong Hyun a sharp stare.  
“Of course not, Freya! I’m just worried about you…”  
“There is no need for that. You’re not responsible for me, Jong Hyun.”  
“What is it, Freya? Tell me what is troubling you?” Jong Hyun refuses to give up. When they became friends they promised absolute honesty to each other. They promised to always be true to each other, no matter how uncomfortable it might be. Jong Hyun counts on that now. He hopes for Freya to keep her word and tell him the truth.  
Freya sighs and puts the tea cup on a table. Her hand shakes a bit and the tea gets spilt on the surface. She moans and wants to pick a napkin to wipe it but Jong Hyun is faster.  
“I got it. Relax, Freya.” He says and cleans the table.  
Freya makes an annoyed noise and she leans back deeper into the armchair. She is chafing her hands. They look normal but Jong Hyun knows everything about what happened. “This happens all the time now. I’m so useless!” Freya nearly whispers, her voice is angry.  
“Don’t say that. You are not useless. You are the smartest person I know.” Jong Hyun grabs her hand and squeezes it lightly to assure her about his support. “It will get well soon. This isn’t a permanent state.”  
“That’s the trouble, Jong Hyun. It is permanent.”  
“I know you lost a lot…”  
“I lost everything. Completely everything, Jong Hyun. And I’m exhausted. I’m just… so tired, Jong Hyun. I feel like I have lived several lives already. I have no more energy. All I want is to fall asleep and never wake up.”  
Jong Hyun inhales sharply and squeezes her hand harder as she gets frightened. “Freya!”  
“Calm down,” Freya waves her hand and shakes head. “I’m not going to try to kill myself. Not again. I won’t put my sisters through that again. However I have no intention to fight. I’m done fighting. I have learned my lesson and I know I can’t win.”  
“Freya, don’t talk like that. I hate to see you like this.”  
“Broken? But that’s how I feel. I have to be honest with you, remember? And to answer your question, no, I don’t eat regularly. I have no appetite. Victoria and Hak Yeon are trying but… I appreciate their care. I wish I could show more gratitude.”  
“I’m sure they don’t expect your gratitude. They love you and want you to be happy.”  
“They will be disappointed then.” Freya retorts and slips her hand out of his grip.  
Jong Hyun wishes to cheer her up. This woman experienced too much bad luck in her life. She deserves to be happy, she deserves to feel joy and to find a new meaning of life. Unfortunately he can’t figure out how to achieve that. “Freya, come for a walk with me.”  
“What?”  
“Let’s take the dogs for a walk, what do you think? I know a park nearby. Fresh air will give you some appetite.”  
“Jong Hyun… I have no mood for people.”  
“It’s -10°C and 9 in the evening. I will be surprised if we meet one or two desperate dog walkers out there. Come on, Freya. Let’s go for a walk like in Cornwall. Hmm? Do me the favour, Freya.”  
Freya looks into his eyes. It’s difficult to say no to this man. He’s got a certain boyish charm, the untainted and little bit naive soul. Freya has been through too much and she lost this kind of cheerful spirit. However she would never be so cruel to crush the joy in somebody else. She nods lightly. “Very well, Jong Hyun. I will dress warmly, give me ten minutes.” She stands up followed by him.  
Jong Hyun brightens up immediately. “Take your time. Where do you keep leashes for these beasts?” He asks while rubbing the three dogs again.  
“They hang in the hall by the coats. Excuse me.” Freya leaves and walks up the stairs. She enters her bedroom and changes into thick white velvet trousers and a long white turtleneck. She makes sure to cover the hideous scar on her neck. She goes to the main hall, Jong Hyun is already waiting there with excited Rottweilers tugging the leashes. Hak Yeon is standing next to him.  
“Freya! I’m glad you go for a walk but don’t stay out for long. It’s freezing, I don’t want you to catch a cold.” Hak Yeon grabs a long white coat with fake black fur on it’s collar and bottom rim and on the sleeve rim. He holds it for Freya and then hands her a fake black fur hat. She puts it on her head and reaches black leather gloves.  
“I will come back soon, Hak Yeon. Don’t worry.” She takes one leash from Jong Hyun and they walk out the house.  
The weather is truly cold. The snow is cracking under their feet as they walk. Street lamps make the ice crystals sparkle like glitters. Jong Hyun grabs the two leashes in one hand and offers Freya an arm for her to hook in it. She smiles mildly and does as he wants.  
“It’s not over, you gotta know that.” He pronounces with a calm reassuring voice. “You can still be happy.”  
Freya cringes. “I admire your optimism but I have no intention to pursue happiness any more. Some people are born for happiness like my sister and some are born to…” Freya cuts the sentence and shakes her head. “It doesn’t matter. I don’t want to discuss this. Would you mind changing the topic?”  
“Of course not! What would you like to talk about?”  
Freya looks at him with serious eyes. “Have you heard from Isis?” She asks shyly.  
Jong Hyun smirks. “Now it’s my turn for hurtful conversation, I see.”  
“We don’t have to talk about her, if you don’t want to.” Freya assures him promptly.  
“It’s okay. There is nothing much to say. I have sent her many emails with no response from her.” Jong Hyun refers to Freya’s sister who is an explosive expert serving in the army. She is in Afghanistan at the moment together with her two explosive sniffing dogs, Malinois shepherds called Fenris and Cerberos. Jong Hyun met her in Cornwall last September and he fell in love with her unexpectedly. Unfortunately he made a fatal mistake and vexed her a great deal. She didn’t let him explain and apologise and left for Afghanistan. He sends her emails ever since, trying to explain, to apologise, to gain her trust back. However Isis hasn't replied to a single mail he sent. She ignores him and that hurts Jong Hyun. He misses her still. He never felt anything like this to any woman before. It’s confusing.  
“She is in the mountains with poor connection.”  
“I doubt that there wasn’t a single opportunity to write to me back during those months, Freya. But thanks for trying. I have to accept the reality. She will never forgive me.”  
“I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you two.”  
They arrive at the park and unleash the dogs to let them run freely. Jong Hyun pulls a tennis ball out of his pocket and throws it to the dogs for them to fetch it. They run after it but only one of them catches it first and gives it back to Jong Hyun. Freya has a thick rope with her and gives it to the other two dogs. They start to pull the two ends of it and they growl fiercely. It’s obvious they are just playing but for any stranger it might look dangerous. The park is abandoned and quiet, Jong Hyun was right about the time and weather being unsuitable for most people to go outside. Freya truly can breathe free now.  
Suddenly they hear high pitched barking and a cute little white dog wearing a coat runs towards the Rottweilers. They notice it and stop playing with the toys and run to the little dog barking deeply and fiercely. Freya senses trouble because her dogs look terrifying and the owner of the little dog might get a wrong impression.  
“Shimkung!” Freya and Jong Hyun hear a male voice.  
“Kratos, Zelos, Hades! Stop!” Freya calls with a strong authoritative voice and the Rottweilers stop on the spot. “Sit!” Freya orders and the dogs obey.  
The little white dog arrives and barks at the Rottweilers and jumps with excitement.  
Freya comes closer. “Look at you! Where is your owner, little one?” Freya takes off one of her gloves, bends down and lets the little dog sniff her hand. It licks her fingers and wigs its tail. “Come to me.” Freya picks the dog up into her arms.  
“Shimkung! Where are you? Come to daddy! Shimkung!”  
“We are here!” Jong Hyun calls and they can see a man running to them. The Rottweilers get alerted and stand up ready to protect their mistress.  
“Oh thank God! Shimkung!” The man approaches Freya, his eyes fixed to the dog in her arms. The Rottweilers growl to warn him and he stops looking at them concerned. “Dear, dear!”  
“Don’t worry, they don’t bite.” Jong Hyun puts the Rottweilers on leashes. “Well, technically they do bite, they are guard dogs but they only act on special command, so you are safe.” Jong Hyun ads with a smirk. “Come here, boys.” He pulls the dogs to the side. “Hey! I know you!” Jong Hyun calls as he recognises the man. “You’re Park Jung Soo!”  
The man smiles kindly and a dimple appears on his cheek. “That’s correct. Nice to meet you.” He shakes hands with Jong Hyun.  
“I’m Hong Jong Hyun and this is Dr. Freya Arran.”  
Jung Soo bows to Freya and she gives him his dog. “How do you do, sir?”  
“Thank you for finding my little girl.” Jung Soo cuddles his dog lovingly.  
“It’s nothing, really.” She turns to Jong Hyun. “We should go back.”  
“True, Hak Yeon will kill me if you catch a cold.” Smiles Jong Hyun.  
“Cha Hak Yeon?” Asks Jung Soo. “VIXX leader?”  
“Yes, he’s my brother-in-law. It was a pleasure to meet you, Park Jung Soo. Have a nice evening.” Freya hooks her arm into Jong Hyun’s again and they walk slowly back towards home.  
“Goodnight, miss Arran!” Jung Soo calls.  
“You have no idea who he is, right?” Giggles Jong Hyun as they are out of Jung Soo’s sight.  
“Should I know him?”  
“Park Jung Soo, or Leeteuk by his stage name, is a Super Junior leader. He’s a living legend in kpop.” Explains Jong Hyun.  
“Good for him. But I don’t know what you expect from me.”  
“I was just saying, nothing more. He seemed enchanted by you, by the way.”  
Freya frowns at Jong Hyun. “Nonsense. Why do you always make such wild stories up?”  
“I’m not making it up. Didn’t you notice how he stared at you?”
“That’s ridiculous. I wish you would stop saying such things, it’s very inappropriate.”
“You start talking like a Downton Abbey character again.” Moans Jong Hyun.

FAVORITE KDRAMA CHARACTERS
Tumblr media
dong gu, welcome to waikiki. he's probably my favorite male lead lmao. he's such a mess and so, so petty but i've got a weakness for grumpy dudes who are secretly soft and i think he's a good example of that trope executed well
Tumblr media
kimura shunji, bridal mask/gaksital. LMAO favorite =/= endorsement, but he's my personal favorite villain/antagonist in a kdrama. his arc is just so well-executed and grim and park ki woong totally crushed it
Tumblr media
yoon sae beom, happiness. she's a total gremlin but also very cool and kickass and there was something just really believable? about this character.
Tumblr media
do hyun soo, who would like to be included with his wife cha ji won, flower of evil. my favorite performance of lee joon ki, and such a layered character mixed up with Wife Guy is pretty much an unbeatable combo.
Tumblr media
eun dan oh, extraordinary you. SASS queen but also peppy/high energy without being annoying. dan oh brought so much life into the drama and she was my favorite part about it it
honorable mentions
kang bae, weol ju, and gwi, mystic pop-up bar
man wol, hotel del luna
moo hak, dali and the cocky prince
hwi oh, mad for each other
seo jin, kairos
empress ki/seung nyang, empress ki
jung in, one spring night
