  • "As long as a man is sincere with all his heart, it can be seen through his eyes. [....] But in reality, it might actually be really hard for any men to express those thoughts to their girlfriends. But when we think about it,those words should really be expressed by people who have extreme and pure love to their girlfriends or boyfriends. [...] Though he lived like a happy-go-lucky guy, he still had sadness deep inside. [...] Somehow, I thought of trying to love once again. Even though I would like to have that kind of love that Kim Tan had, I don’t know how to express it. While working for this drama, I realized, “Oh that’s how love is.” Everyone is dreaming for that kind of love. This kind of circumstance can make one nervous but if you continue to view love like this, you wouldn’t want to let it slip. As I grow older, it makes me think “why not take the chance?” [...] Some things get better with age, the things you were crazy for in your 20s might become something less interesting and happy a couple of years after. For me, the weight of the crown of being a star? It’s living your everyday life simply with freedom but still, always have to consider how I would affect other people’s lives.

There will be always a tendency that you’ll start liking her and end up breaking that friendly relationship." - Lee Min Ho

  • "Life is but a paradox between my worst nightmare and my sweetest daydream."
  • "The happiness of that afternoon was already fixed in her mind,

  • "Don’t give away pieces of your heart you’re not even sure you have."
  • Empathy isn’t just something that happens to us—a meteor shower of synapses firing across the brain—it’s also a choice we make: to pay attention, to extend ourselves. It’s made of exertion, that dowdier cousin of impulse. Sometimes we care for another because we know we should, or because it’s asked for, but this doesn’t make our caring hollow. The act of choosing simply means we’ve committed ourselves to a set of behaviors greater than the sum of our individual inclinations: I will listen to his sadness, even when I’m deep in my own. To say “going through the motions”—this isn’t reduction so much as acknowledgment of the effort—the labor, the motions, the dance—of getting inside another person’s state of heart or mind. This confession of effort chafes against the notion that empathy should always arise unbidden, that genuine means the same thing as unwilled, that intentionality is the enemy of love. But I believe in intention and I believe in work. I believe in waking up in the middle of the night and packing our bags and leaving our worst selves for our better ones.
