One of the unforgettable characters for me in a Kdrama is really Son Seok Ku's role in My Liberation Notes, Mr. Gu. The good looking, manly, alcoholic guy who is tired living and at the verge of giving up. Although I can fully relate to Mi Jeong like she's depicting my own life story, Mr. Gu's life is like an extension of what I am as well. I do tune in to alcoholic beverages almost everyday too in order to forget my problems... it's bad for the health but it feels like something is missing or my head is completely noisy whenever I don't drink. Ok, maybe I need help on that matter. lol
Anyways, recently, I've learned that during his promotion of his movie The Roundup in SBS Radio Power FM's Cultwo show, Son Seok Ku revealed that he rarely drinks alcohol. The total opposite trait of his character in My Liberation Notes. It's just funny to me so I'd like to share that fun fact to everyone else whose heart was stolen by this actor. Ugh.. seriously, I've been totally captured by this man/actor since he did that role in My Liberation Notes. I don't think this drama would really stand out if it weren't of the actual actors/actresses that took their respective roles. And I just cannot imagine My Liberation Notes if it weren't Son Seok Ku that played the role of Mr. Gu. That damn hot man is just my type. I love him already and I cannot wait to see him in his newest projects. Though, I still wish that Son Seok Ku and Kim Ji Won would reunite again in a drama. That would be perfect since they really have great chemistry and I'm dying to see them together again.
Here is one of Son Seok Ku's photoshoots after My Liberation Notes. I would say that My Liberation Notes was really his breakout role in his entire career. His movie The Roundup was a blockbuster too in the cinemas. Wow! He gained more than a million subscribers on Instagram too! Son Seok Ku really became famous because of Mr. Gu. I love it. This is why actors/actresses should pick a role that would really resonate with the general public and not just picking some role that would bring them money despite the drama and roles being uninteresting at all.
Considering that he rarely drinks, seeing him with alcoholic beverages in photoshoots really is so charming and funny to me. Haha! It's because all because his role in My Liberation Notes. lol
