Kim Nam Gil
I am now rewatching Goodbye Solo. I liked it when it first came out and found it again this week on Dramacrazy. He looks younger here, but he is still the real actor and he takes every scene without going overboard. He is wonderful. Against Chun that takes some doing as he is also a responsible performer.
I know what you mean about the way he looks with or without the mustache. I do like the mustache and I think is reveals part of his personality which is not altogether the playing of a role. It makes me think that he has so many facets and he knows when to show whichever one he needs at the particular time. He is the good devil. Pokes you into trouble and then saves you.
Yes he would be one person to have a good conversation with once he trusted you.
So far I have not found him unattractive. At times he is just so natural and that warms my heart. I don't think I have exactly 'gushed' over him, although I have great admiration and the most pleasant feelings for him. I would sit down and talk with him about most anything and it would not have to be about acting and that in itself makes him a more interesting actor.
I used to gush about Kimura. I was younger... tho still older..... He can still melt my bones and any photgraph of him is gold to me. I like him as a professional. I admire his talents. He can do no wrong as far as I am concerned. I have a different aspect for Nam Gil but it is just as profound. It makes life very satisfying to know about these two men.

Myself I find him attractive and alluring in every face he can take on. In every shape and every time. Maybe the best when he was in Indonesia in January, speaking as he does, with a low, almost whispering voice, about the stuff he saw and what he was unable to help with. he did what he could there. But still he felt like he could do more.
I find him like a well. Old, with a stone lid all covered with moss. There are some irises all around, but wild now, not touched with a human hand. You can expect the water inside will be stagnant and musty, but once you lift up the cover, you will see the clearest water you could imagine. Cold, but refreshing.
I liked also his performance in Lovers. Honestly, I didn't care at all about the main couple, all I wanted was the right hand^^

Lee Seo Jin was also in a drama called 'PHOENIX' It was also a very different kind of treatment. I have watched it a couple of times and it doesn't become stale. Good cast and it was an introduction to that SHINWA member playing his first role I think. Name? Name ..wait a minute....Eric. that is it. Now in the military but should be coming out soon.
I would like to watch it again. It was a good yarn. There was a crazy role played by a very pretty actress. She is actually such a normal girl happily married with two or three babes. Jung Hye Yung her name.

Some new pics just before his shaving off^^
right here
Damn, he's sooo slim, it looks like the last months were hell.
Get some rest!

OK.. well re pics. YUMMY is good enough for me. He is gorgeous. May I say that?
There was a photo somewhere on the Hancinema site which was new to me. He looked OK but so thin.
I still can't watch Bad Guy. I put it on.. but then he started having to fight off that weird guy who wanted money. It was too painful to see KNG falling down and rolling over. His poor legs. Even Jae Woo was mixed up in it ...In the snow ...on a bridge. I was afraid one of them would go over the rail.
I don''t think I can really watch that drama. He is just too good at showing the character in all his emotional upheaval and pain and anger. KMG is too good.

Before I forget. I am not in the right thread and I can't find where Ha Jung Woo was mentioned with a small photo. Anyway... I just want to say that if you haven't already seen it you should certainly watch the film .'Never Forever' He is incredible in that film and really can't see any other actor who coule be so outstanding. He is powerful in the quietest way.

I seriously cried yesterday while watching Episode 15 and I'm in the such bad mood ever since. It was like if someone just strangled me and a heartbeat before my last breath let it go with grim smile, cause I know the next week will be the same.
They intensified this drama over my nerves.
Plus KNG's acting is just... damn if it wasn't for him, I don't know if I cared, but his tears can just make a Vengeance God out of me... without reason though.
Ha Jung Woo:

Haven't seen Never Forever but now I will^^
Been rewatching QSD, but with worse and worse mood. Cause knowing what will happen is even worse to see his character acting like that. He went a long road. Long, but unfortunately he just stumbled once and rolled down with a thunder.

Thanks for the 'warning', Ethlenn. I'm only at 13 but now i'll wait for ep. 17 to come out before i continue watching. It's too hard to be left hanging after such powerful performances.
If it wasn't for him, this drama would be unwachable. KNG really needs to have strong actors by his side. For now i feel the only one he doesn't completely outact with his performance is Oh Yun Soo. Just watching him express all those complicated feelings makes me mirror them, he really induces pain and loathing or love and yearning with just one glance. Also it's like he's an actor i can only enjoy in small doses cause he's too good to be just gobbled down ;)
Thanks for the rec, Peggy. Also haven't seen Never Forever but I'm slowly working myself through Ha's works. So far he delivered brilliant performances in everything i saw. That guy's someone i just can't not admire. To me, he was alluring even in the chaser, i wasn't scared at all, just wanted to see more of him...

Aww, ara, you are just a tough girl if you wasn't scared by him in Chaser, brr... it still gives me shivers.
As I wrote someplace, in this drama there are only two actors that can deliver any emotions, main male lead, and Oh Yun Soo, of course.
I have really no idea how they fix everything in two episodes, but...
KNG just came and stormed everyone on the plan, he's just an actor everyone should has as a role model in acting. He's able to deliver every emotion, reagardless of the situation. And he doesn't need words. He doesn't even shouts, cause he knows that whisper is sometimes more terryfying that shout.
And that devil knows the trick. As you said, he projects his emotions on us. When he's hurt, I feel physical pain, when he's laughing, I'm wriggling on floor with laughter too, when he threats, I'm booking a ticket to the moon. One way.
He's just complete.
And not that drastic:
my animal side just took over and I ripped off... umm... nevermind...
BTW. my OST for Bad Guy just came^^ and I'm ripping it right now^^ Will upload in few minutes

Aww the second picture!! Breathtaking. He's a guy you couldn't even go *kyaa* about if you wanted to cause he makes you loose your voice and takes away your breath. When I first laid eyes on him i couldn't imagine myself sitting in front of the screen, staring at his pictures for long minutes, incapable to even form a proper thought. Ethlenn, thanks to you, this man has realy grown on me. I love you just for that Good night dear!
I think I don't want him to be complete. That would be the end of him. He is a powerful work in the making with all living parts and all powerful emotions available to him. I don't want him to be complete....there is more to that man, as well as more to the actor in him.
Really there aren't many actors like Nam Gil. I mean there are a few, but you count them on one hand. They don't all shine like he does, even the good ones.
I think Nam Gil is just like a beautiful snake that has just shed his old skin and the new one is brilliant and shiny . He will use many skins and they will all be brilliant.
If you've ever watched a snake shed it's skin then you know what I am saying.

I added few more new pics dug up in the dead of night when I can't sleep.
I have insomnia I think, it's been two weeks already. But I'm sleepy during the days, when I want to take a nap, my sleepyness just disappear and I'm fighting again with blanket and mattress.
Pics are here:
Before he disappeared
I quoted you, Arakira, hope you don't mind^^
But I meant he's complete in the way that he knows what he wants. He wants to be even better actor and his doing this. I was reading an interview on Lovers Vanished premiere, and, seriously, if I haven't been in love already, I would fall in love just knowing this. His method of understanding his character is so profound, his insight is deep, but first of all, he takes the deep insight into himself.
Oh, and one more thing:

There isn't many actors and human beings like this one out there.

If you admire Kim Nam Gil please click on the link that Ethlenn gives for the 'yahoo news page;' Then click on Actor and then scroll down to the photo of KNG and click on the little box and then click on his name. We need to give him more support.
I am not the type to vote in these things but I can't believe that he is second to that little lad who is a singer.

OK, here's the thing:

You can vote for the best actor in Seoul Drama Awards. SDA is a ceremony of awarding the best actors in East Asia, you can vote for one from those countries (South Korea, japan, Taiwan, China) or just for one and only one. Like me.
Plus, if you fill the questionnaire (you don't have to), you may be elligible to win some. Last year was it a ticket to the gala.
Some Korean websites don't work on Firefox, if it happens, try IE.
Yes, once a day, so I will be voting from my pc and my sister's pc (different IPs), hehe. I always cheat, so what?
As Peggy said, it's a shame (and sham), that not an actor is leading, and the third one (OK, I'm in such a horrible mood I stop here) is Lee Byung Hun.
So far Lee Seung Ki (hell, since Baeksang this March I had no idea who's he): Vote Result : 3,362
Kim nam Gil-nim: Vote Result : 524
Kim Nam Gil-nim deserves our support!
Ara, love, I will provide as much as I can, because He's worth it.

sorry but my vote is going for OJH. i know he's no where near KNG but i still like to support the one i love. after all, every little counts
ps, keep telling me that my phone number is invalid
pss. country code, area code, are they talking about phone number codes? because i do write them and they don't work

Still waiting for the reply, considering it's around 8 am in Korea, someone should reply in few hours.
I wrote them about what exactly problems we are dealing with. Hope they can make something with this, and if not, I will write a complain letter.
I will make the big heads in Korea aware of neglected Europe!
PLUS: voting doesn't work in Firefox.

I'm still waiting for the response, but I don't have much time left before my leave, I will be out from this Friday on, so if I don't get anything from them until Wednesday, I will write them again. A less pleasant mail.
Come to think of it, I was too polite maybe.
Ok, if we wanna cheat:
I am patient, but my patience has its limits. Especially when KNG position is at stake. I slated SBS in the letter on his behalf, I can slate SDA Commitee, I don't care.
I dig out some nice videos, so in few hours I will post them on the blog.
Somehow blogger video renderer just distorts videos, so I have to find better solution.

Please keep trying to get into this site and vote for Kim Nam Gil. I have never been interested in any voting for anyone before in any thing. Now I see the whole thing is really a scam but I would truly like to see Kim Nam Gil get a larger vote. Tell everyone you know to vote for this wonderful actor. thank you so much.

Aww, I don't like rankings too, but since I voted in MBC and SBS last December, I voted now too.
Every ranking favors someone and neglects another one. It's most likely exactly like in life, when we make preparations. We just take some facts into consideration, not all of the possibilities. Because the list would be endless.
I'm honing slowly me scythe... And there will be blood.
PS. Videos are up

Hi everyone, this is my first message here, so please be kind with me. I read all that you wrote here about Kim Nam Gil, and i also tried to vote him, but as Issy said, is keep telling me that my phone number is invalid. What should i do? I tried to vote from Firefox as well as from IE, but with the same negative results.
Well when I click on this link
http://kr.news.yahoo.com/event/sda2010/ ... actor.html
I don't get anything asking me for my phone number. It just shows a page of pictures of various actors (I click on vote for ACTORS) and then put my click on the little box under Nam Gil's photo and then click on his name there and it seems to work. I have checked back to see if the tally goes up, and it does.
I don't click on anything that says any specific language because it comes up in English for me.
Why do they want a phone number? I think that is probably for Asian voters. Maybe.

The form that is required to be filled is below, it appears after clicking on that purple button at the bottom of the page.
The only response from them was that the voting IS valid without filling it.
And yes, they require the Korean address and number. They wrote that they are working on the improvement. But the filling the form is when you want to participate in a winning lottery (forgot what there is). So I wrote them that we want no prize, we want normal voting.
But it was a short message from them, so I'm anticipating more detailed. If not...

It's in English also, i don't know Korean, Chinese or Japanese. But under the picture (on vote for ACTORS) its says "Selection". I put my click there but nothing happens, so i go down the page and there is written: "Complete the Selection of Stars from 5 Nations and Participate in the Vote". Here is where they asks us about phone number and country code and other stuffs. I hope i made myself clear because i wanna vote for KNG!!!
There should be a popping up window with confirmation what series the actor comes from. And X to close it. If no pop up window, vote is not counted. And one more time, it works in IE. (I managed to vote in Firefox, but I guess I can manage everything except for SBS bosses and SDA heads...).
I checked voting in Japanese and Korean (don't know Chinese, aility, pliiiis^^), but it's the same.
As I said, vote is valid, the form is for the lottery. Nevertheless, I'm preparing to write them second letter. Longer. Angrier.
And izabela1986, believe me, if you voted for someone else, I would personally get after you. With a scythe...
But you know, this voting is on MOST POPULAR, not The Best. We know who's the best...

OK, here's the thing. Under the picture of an actor there is this small box, right?
When you clicked on it, it should became purple, arajji? Then click on the actual picture of an actor (yes, slap Bidam on hissss.... umm...). A pop up window shouls appear. Click on the CLOSE you will see.
Personally I don't think KNG should win this. Yes, my love, I said it, it's a proof of my hard love! You shouldn't win! Cause it's a contest for the most popular. He started to be reckognized (yess, even my dumb Korean friends know him now), but he's not THAT popular still.
Who's Seung Ki anyway?

No no no. You can vote once a day, that's true, but the votes results shouls not be the same.
As I said, I'm waiting till Wednesday. If nothing's changing, I will write them again.
But I gave a method to cheat a little on the previous page... (if we keep quiet, maybe they will not find out^^).
They're dumb anyway, aigoo...

Peggy, You want that show?
I should have it somewhere, I can either put it up as torrent or DDL for you^^
Cause it was sooo good epiosode^^
But I made a cut with KNG and put it somewhere on my blog... I have no idea where, to be honest...
OK, I found:
Section TV cuts
Aww, I voted for JH from my sis computer. Felt guity as well.
Have you seen JKS on the list, cause I didn't. I guess he's crying cuddling some sparkly teddy bear in his pink room.
And Issy, me too, sashireun (honestly) I dropped that series last year cause of him.

the drama is good enough to watch but i don't know who chose him to be the male lead in this drama? not likable at all. and as usual, i think me and you are in minority considering the high votes he got so far
i am liking Bae Soo Bin there because he is also in Dong Yi and i really like his character. i wish he was the lead in BL. talking about DY, good for Han Hyo Joo for having the most votes in kactresses section. she is the only one that has not annoyed me with her acting so far and i liked her in every drama that i saw of her

Wait, brilliant legacy is shining inheritance, right? Haha one of the first kdrama i watched but that guy left no impression whatsoever... Thought I'd never seen him before
I'm exhausted and insomnia is back so I'm watching King of Baking now. The kids are better actors than their grown up versions but somehow, the lead has some potential. Haha Ethlenn-sempai, help, I'm drooling over boys again

I may be somewhat befuddled by wine but I think somewhere I edited a post and said not to worry re that d.l I got the cuts on your blog. Have to admit sometimes I get so many links going that I get tied up.
Are you really going. Oh dear. I shall miss you.
Have to mention that all my trying to get MSmessenger has robbed me of one of my favourite things. I now can't get my Media Center to work. I am keeping my fingers away for the time being. I wanted to record Wang Guhn which shows on TV after midnight. I was getting fractured by watching it every night and not being able to function in the mornings following. I wanted to record after going to bed but something is messed up with MsM. Not to worry...I will continue to be fractured.
It's the wine.

Yeah, King of Baking is really great, I'm enjoying it every week. And funny thing, cause KNG said his family prefers to watch this drama than his, hehe. An honest lad...
I love him for that^^
Aww, I really hated Brilliant legacy (Shining Inheritance), I could never get back to this drama, there was something that put me off in it, maybe it was because Seung Ki couldn't act? Or drama was cheesy, too cheesy for my taste (and I really like cheese).
I hated Han Hyo Joo in Iljimae, but then again, I hated the drama, so... There was Moon Ji Yoon whom I liked in QSD, that is why when I started to watch Iljimae, I thought he can save the show. He couldn't.
And don't try any Lee Jun Ki is cute. May be, but he's an average actor. He was good in King and the Clown, but th whole movie was good and "ruin-proof" as I call it.
Peggy, but if you want the whole show...I can upload it somewhere, or put it on uTorrent again. I think I had too much wine today as well. It's all because I'm really dreaded on the smallest thought of going home.
Yes, I'm going this Friday.
I'm missing you already. To quote "Goong": even if I'm seeing (writing) you, I'm missing you still.
Peggy, you really need to have your msn fixed, we are missing you in our talks!!

Yes well I somehow think that is not what is happening at my end.
I click on the vote and then click on the photo and up pops the next window but there is no photo of KNG there is blank square with the notation that this actor in in QSD. nothing else. then I click where it says to go back to the vote and I get all the photos again and see my vote but I now am not sure it gets recorded.
By the way the vote is now up to around 6 thousand plus for our loved one. That is the total amount.
I clicked on a lot of things today but I don't think I learned much.
You will know we are thinking of you won't you? don't do anything rash with that scythe.

I came back to vote but i got the same results as PeggyPeggy wrote: I click on the vote and then click on the photo and up pops the next window but there is no photo of KNG there is blank square with the notation that this actor in in QSD. nothing else. then I click where it says to go back to the vote and I get all the photos again and see my vote but I now am not sure it gets recorded.
Yes, the blank pop up window with just name of the drama. Then just click on the "close" word (or X sign inside the window), not the one that is usually used to closed the window. And your vote is counted.
I explicitly asked is the voting without filling the form valid, and they said yes.
I hope our loved one can feel the big amount of love flowing towards him^^ No, scratch that, actually I'm sure he feels it^^
Peggy, I forgot I didn't put the link to download the video, aww. I'm on my way to fix this^^

Ok and thanks Ethlenn
I think some of my MSM problems are to do with my local provider. Just got an apology from them and discount off next bill as they have been screwing around with cables and adding channels. I am not going to complain because they added two Japanese and one more Chinese and one more Korean channel. YAY ! ! ! !
They are still doing stuff becuase my PC stopped in the middle of SMAP concert song and then high pitch whistled at me. So I switched all off and waited. Now up and running again.
Don't know if you are driving or flying or going by horse, but have a good trip my dear. I vision you flying through the trees a la 'DAMO' girl. How cool would that be. Such an entrance finally.
Ah well we can all dream.

Your vision is great! I will be flying through the trees when I'm there. On my bike. And in the area where I'm 1000% sure there are no wolves. Not even a dead one.
A Korean station too? Whhaa, I'm so envious!! I wish I could have a TV on my PC too, and record my favorite shows... eh..
But it's so weird they are doing it without noticing you beforehand.
I say, stop screwing with Peggy's internet, we need HER!!

Peg, you're getting Japanese and Korean channels?!? I'm so envious ;) Hope your msn will be fixed soon, now that the source of the problem is known.
Btw, did you hear about the rumors, that Kimura will lead some taiga in 2012, about Taira no Kiyomori, based on the Heike Monogatari... I so hope that's true. Think I'm about to develop a thing for period dramas =)
There's a brand new LJ-com for our Kim Nam Gil . There's also a nice description on how to vote for the drama award. Apparently voting in all 3 languages and with different browsers is possible. Check it out, if you use livejournal.
(btw, Ethlenn, the maintainer is also a huge fan of your JJY )

Yes, yanie wrote the producer described him as a mischieveous scoundrel instead of a dictator. A perfect role for Kimura, ne. Don't know much about Japanese history at that time, at least not about personalities but after romance taiga with Gou they'll have a nice contrast if the next one is about a vicious bad ass guy
(Still not finished QSD, somehow with period drama I can't watch in one go...gonna come asking for recs once i finished)

Yes... well I spend a chunk of money on my PC and TV programming. That's because I stay in my little cave most of the time. Vacations are a thing of the past and I love my internet journeys and the friends I have made. Some of them are only mild talking about dramas, but others that I find are truly fascinating and intelligent people. This is the place where I am at this precise moment. I am on your bandwagon for ever. Hope you don't mind....
I have channels on TV for English which are scores of course. I have Spanish channels. Large numbers. I have about six or seven Korean channels. I have about four Chinese. One or two from Beijing and a couple from Taiwan. Have now three Japanese I think.Two are NHK. Interesting documentaries and of course many dramas. Just finished re watching MR.BRAIN with my Takuya Kimura. Now watching the latter part of 'Ryomaden' with English subs by the way. I can also watch it without since it is repeated about four times over the weekends. Lots of dramas. Lots of music shows. Lots of wonderful 'journey; shows. Saw lovely Kyoto gardens and then some of the castles in Japanese history.
Oh there are also Filipino channels and Russian and a few that I don't even recognise.I think maybe from Eastern Europe.
It's no wonder I am sleep deprived.
That is a nice journal for Nam Gil. Nice photos and some excerpts from his dramas and films.

Honestly, they don't have any photo I don't have, hehe...
And I have much more.
Honestly, I was always bored with internet and chatting and forums. The longest I managed to participate (not frequently), was one of Placebo's forums, but I quit after 4 months. I get bored when I don't find anyone to talk to. And fangirls are crazy and scary.
Somehow this place is the one I feel like home, mostly because great and beautiful people I met here. This is the place I check the most often, almost first page I open after waking up.
I think it's the people and actual content of it. I've been interested in Asian dramas for about 1.5 year, that is why I'm inexperienced and I'm happy to learn some. I've been interested in Asian movies for 10 years, and I'm willing to share. I've ben interested in JJY & KNG for 4 years, and I'm... actually... sharing is caring, but keep your hands to yourself, ladies!
That is why I feel uneasy to leave you for 3 weeks. Maybe I got accustomed to uploading, and I spend my whole days downloading, converting and uploading. Sometimes searching for something nice, translating and so on. This is really addictive, you should try.
Maybe I got attached to you all. And I hope we will meet here again, and this thread will pass 20 pages while I'm absent.
Come to think of it, it's like going to the military too...
And about Japan history: Taira Kiyomori grabbed the power in 1156, when he with Minamoto Yoshitomo supressed the rebellion. Taira was awarded, Minamoto wasn't. So mInamoto rebelled. taira slaughtered ALMOST all members of Minamoto and from 1159 he ruled just like Fujiwaras. His grandson became even the Emperor Antoku (poor kid, lived 9 years). In 1180 Minamoto grew back (like hydra) and started the war, called Gempei (源平合戦). Taira were all crushed in the battle of Dannoura in 1185.
In 1192 Minamoto Yoritomo got the title of shogun, but his dynasty lasted only for his 2 sons (they killed off each other, I mean the whole family was messed up(, and his wife Masako de domo Hojo took the power.
Yeah, Kiyomori was a cunning one. he doesn't have the best reputation.
But taira were known for their love for arts. That is what heike monogatari says (yes, we HAD to read it in original, bungo, which is hell.).
BUT! Kiyomori founded beautiful shrine Itsukushima-jinja (Miyajima). Sorry I'm to lazy to give links.

I am looikng forward to seeing how they do this taiga. Had message from yanie and she said there were rumours they were looking at it as a 'Godgather' type of treatment ! !
Well it might work at that. Desperate days and desperate men. They seem to be looking at the 'leader of the pirate band' times when they were involved in Chinese trade etc.
I know that Kimura wants to play stronger more serious roles and limit the romancing as he gets older. I think if he gets a few serious roles under his belt he just might go back and do some hot and heavy love dramas. Just a thought...and a strong wish of course.
As long as he does not do a Johnny Depp as the pirate leader I will be content.

Yes it is like you going into the military. People with strong auras are always difficult to release. Glad you are not going for two years.
I shall keep on thinking of you in the trees and flying through the tops and getting furious when the birds get in the way.
think of us down here on the ground. and especially think of me trying to get rid of seven years of papertrail stuff. You will hear the shredder I think. Oh for an oldfashioned fire place.

Haha no wonder Kiyomori sounded familar. My head's really a mess. I only went there this spring and did some reading about the Island...He seems to be an interesting personality, fit for a drama and I'm with you peg, I'd like to see Kimura in some more serious roles and movies, but please not something like 'I come with the rain'!!
Btw, Ethlenn, you keep surprising me, I knew you studied Japanese, but being able to read Bungo, now that's really something!!
Still can't believe you'll exile yourself for 3 weeks, but I said nuff bout that before. I'll just be waiting here for you and keep the fireplace ready to fan the embers once you return ;)
Honestly, I think 3 weeks without the net is like a meditation exercise or a detoxification. It must be hard but benefitting
Peg, that journey through kyoto, is it available online?? I loved Kyoto's gardens. Would be nice to take a virtual stroll from time to time!

Aww, I will keep busy. I have around 10 interviews and articles printed with KNG to translate, so...
Plus my studies require something, so I need to translate as well.
Plus I need to have a time to do completely nothing. For about 2 hours a week. You keep this thread growing!
Yes, we had bungo classes, and it was a nightmare. I mean, this is so messed up language that has little in common with modern Japanese. We were so frustrated, but in the end it turned out good. I was able to read Konjaku Monogatari, and Akutagawa's work, so... But still I have Konjaku in double version (bungo with modern Japanese translation).
I would like to see that documentary on Kyoto too!
And the whole interview about Lovers Vanished:
Yes, Namgil-nim, a little acting experience.... Some others will not ever achieve the level that you were on in Goodbye Solo in their lifetime.
Posted one new military photo someplace^^
This is my parting gift in this thread.

Ethlenn,
Many thanks for your post. there really is something elusive but very special about Kim Nam Gil. If he really does not know how good his acting has become, then I think he must have a deep natural talent for becoming any person he is asked to be in a drama. He has to naturally 'feel' his way into the character. there aren't many actors who can do that and I think it is a natural talent they don't really understand. I hope he will never try to analyse things TOO much for a role.
As for the Kyoto gardens. Well I can't find it anywhere to d.l on the web. I keep watching the NHK programmes and there is a website that gives details about their shows but they don't give any links or details of how to find the particular show that got me pulled into this place. If I ever find out I will surely let you know.
I am still fighting my PC to get Messenger. This a.m. I spent half an hour installing what I hoped was the one but it turned out to be a windows thing which took forever and is not the right thing at all. Now I have to uninstall and they don't want to let me go. sigh....

He said once, that he can build the emotions of the character out of his smallest experience. That means he really is a natural gem.
But I like the way he speaks about his characters. And I mean not only what words he uses, but also how he uses them and how his body is reacting to what he's saying.
It's the same with the way he sings: either with his eyes completely closed, or just looking somewhere far beyond everyone around. he's emotional when he sings^^
Take care!

Hello all! New in this thread thanks to arakira.
Haven't read through this thread yet but I will because I know there are many goodies here! Thanks in advance to everyone's contribution.
I've translated the allure interview KNG did a while back with the Chinese subs I've found in another forum. I didn't translate the whole article and please pardon my grammatical errors and bad command of English!
I've also posted this in the LJ community with the pictures from the article.
My respect for him as both a person and an actor grew with this interview. Love him to bits and pieces and torn little diamonds!
Will come back and post more after I've read the entire thread

Your translation seemed extremely clear to me ,so please, anytime I will be happy to read them.
