It's been about a month since I've done an Asian related post (I know how much ya love 'em, don't deny it) so I figured I'd do one because I have nothing better to blog about today, which is fine with me. Today's theme: Asian guys that look great (hot, cute, gorgeous, etc) in glasses. Seriously, I think it's impossible for an Asian guy to look ugly in glasses.
Notice: Asian related post. If you could care less, feel free to skip it.
So, because of my fairly recently increased interest in all things Asian (and Matt, which has died down since I rarely see him anymore), Arianna has told me told me that I will either marry an Asian or someone who served their mission in an Asian country (or just someone who's been to one). Haha. I think it's funny because I would be okay with that. Before, I never would have considered marrying an Asian. When a high school friend told me I'd marry an Asian simply because I'm half Korean, I straight up told her no way! I didn't think Asians were even remotely attractive. Boy was I stupid then and she was plain naive. There are some pretty good lookin' Asian guys out there! Though I'm specifically referring to actors at the moment, I have seen a few regular guys that were pretty decent. Anyway, here are two Korean-Americans (like me!) that are attractive in my opinion.
Daniel Henney
Dennis Joseph O'Neil (More commonly known as Dennis Oh)
The thing I've learned about Asian guys is that they tend to age REALLY well. I'll see in actor in a drama and think he's fairly appealing and I'll Google him only to find out he's like 30.
Here is some more famous Korean eye candy.
Lee Min Ho
Kim Bum
No Min Woo
Nichkhun
(Technically he's Thai, but he's in a Korean boy band.)
Song Seung Hun
(Fell in love with him on My Princess)
Hyun Bin
(Loved him in Secret Garden. Sad he's gone
for 2 years for mandatory military service.)
And here's a few more of Lee Min Ho. I guess you could call him my favorite Asian A-Lister.
While at school I have discovered Korean Dramas. They are WAY better than most American t.v. shows. They are usually romantic comedies, well the three I have see have all been romcoms. They make me cry every time because I laugh so hard I tear up or it's just so sad. It's not just because of my sense of humor or that I'm too emotional. I've read lots of comments by people who feel the same way. And while there is romance, it's always clean. I love 'em! I'm pretty obsessed and they are very addicting. I have seen Boys Before Flowers (aka Boys Over Flowers), Personal Taste, and I'm in the process of watching Playful Kiss. I highly recommend them to anyone that doesn't mind subtitles. They are slow moving in the beginning, but once you get past the first couple episodes they are so good and you get hooked.
Boys Before Flowers
Personal Taste
Playful Kiss
The guy in the middle of the Boys Before Flowers pic and the guy on the Personal Taste poster is Lee Min Ho. He is my Korean actor crush. I love him! He's so cute and funny. I looked him up on youtube and it led me to some of his commercials. Being Mormon I don't drink coffee. Even if I wasn't, I wouldn't have any interest in drinking coffee. But if I did, his Dunkin' Donuts commercial would make me want to run out and get some. He's just so cute in it.
Another commercial of his I love is for banana milk. What the heck is that? I don't know, but I do know that Lee Min Ho is adorable in it and its funny. If it were anyone else I'd think it was stupid, but it works for him.
I can't help but smile when I watch this.
The actor in Playful Kiss and Boys Before Flowers (the far right) is Kim Hyun Joong. I decided to youtube him too. Was that a mistake? Possibly. I discovered that he is in a band called SS501 (Pronounced Double S Five-Oh-One). Two of their songs have become latest obsessions music wise. When I listen to them I can't help dancing around my room and wishing I knew Korean so I could sing along and focus on the video instead of the subtitles. I think these songs are pretty amazing.
The first one is called Love Like This and I do have the chorus down in Korean, but that's all. The rest is just too fast or too hard to pronounce. Haha.
The second is titled Love Ya. I love their dancing in this one a little more, I love the violins and I love the camera shaking. It makes the video more intense.
Anyways, just thought I'd share my Korean addiction with you. I'm so obsessed and addicted with this stuff I may need a 12 step program!
