Honestly, what attracted me to “Singles in Seoul” was the actor Lee Dong-wook. Regardless of the character, I’ve always admired his work. However, I felt the script fell short of fully capturing my attention. It’s not a bad film, it just lacked that extra something hard to express sometimes. That said, I found the portrayal of solitary living quite fascinating, especially through the main character’s scenes. The concept of having complete autonomy over your own space, with just one plate, spoon, pot, chair, and mug, deeply resonated with me. The absence of external distractions, and instead, being surrounded only by my own manageable noise, was particularly appealing. Having my own schedule to do whatever I want… Damn, it was liberating. The freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want, even going out to dinner alone, struck a chord. What truly left a lasting impression on me was Lee Dong-wook’s awesomeness. He proved he’s not just a handsome face, as I jokingly mentioned in the “Tale of The Nine Tailed” blog post a few months ago.

The poster picture I’ve selected for this post deeply resonates with me; it encapsulates a journey I would love to embark on in search of self-discovery, finding my place on this earth, and inner peace.
