PARK SIHOO-SSI’S DRAMATIC THANKSGIVING FESTIVAL 2017 – DRAMATIC ENCOUNTER SERIES
施厚君的2017年戏剧化感恩节活动 – 戏剧化的相遇系列
Park Sihoo-ssi’s Dramatic Thanksgiving Festival in June has five different segments from dark to light hearted. To kick-off our Dramatic Encounter Series for ParkSihooSsi.com, I thought something light would get our mood going. So it will be love, love, love! Or rather competitive love and a complicated one at that! 🙂
CEO Cha Seungju meets legal eagle Seo Inwoo for a showdown of who gets the ladies’ hearts. Who would Park Sihoo-ssi fans consider to be their preferred date between the two? A difficult and complicated choice since we will be pitching Park Sihoo-ssi against Park Sihoo-ssi. Kekeke! 😄 We will know the outcome on 15 June 2017 at Park Sihoo-ssi’s Dramatic Thanksgiving Festival in Tokyo.
In the meantime, we will deep dive into the two characters in anticipation of the results.
Today, we will discuss CEO Cha Seungju or Jean Thierry Cha of “Cheongdamdong Alice”.
Love with Cha Seungju would be kind of complicated in my view.
Tall, rich and handsome! A dream boat who has the means to lavish you with every luxury life has to offer and bring you in to the much envied and coveted world of Cheongdamdong. You won’t want of any material thing. Fame and fortune will be waiting for you in his world.
But life will be complicated with Cha Seungju.
A dreamboat he may be but he is also a jaded man suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Because of his past, he will be someone who will not trust so easily. He is man with a lot of mood swings, happy one minute, sad the next and totally cuckoo at times.
He is a man with a baggage, one who has been hurt, who has lived in despair and survived by living from hand-to-mouth at one stage before he got his big break.
While he recognized at the end of the drama that life was not perfect and compromise was needed in a relationship, with his background and past experience, a man like him will still be too complicated to handle. You won’t know what he is thinking or how he would react!
So, you think you are game to date someone like CEO Cha Seungju and maybe have a long term relationship? Hmmm…think how complicated the road ahead will be before you dive right in!
复杂的爱情
施厚君六月份的戏剧化感恩节是由五个不同的细节组成,从黑暗到轻松的剧情。 为了启动ParkSihooSsi.com的戏剧性相遇系列,我认为开头以轻松的话题更好触进大家的心情,所以今天就选择了爱情,爱情,爱情! 或者因该说竞争的爱情和复杂的爱情呗!
会长车胜祖对律师徐仁宇,谁将会获得妇女的芳心?施厚君的厚粉们会认为那位男士会是最佳约会的对象呢?一个困难和复杂的选择,因为是施厚君对施厚君啊!哈哈哈 !😄 结果将会在2017年6月15日在日本举办的施厚君“戏剧化感恩节”活动中揭晓。
在结果揭晓之前,我们来深入探讨这两个角色吧。
今天,我们来讨论“清谭洞爱丽丝”里的会长车胜祖又名 Jean Thierry Cha。
跟车会长谈恋爱,我看来会好复杂。
高富帅!一个梦幻的对偶,他有足够的能力给妳一切想要的生活中的奢侈品,并会带妳进入被羡慕期待的清谭洞世界。妳绝对不会缺乏所想要的任何物质东西。名利和财富等待着妳!
但,跟车会长的生活将会很复杂。
虽然是一位佳偶,但他患有创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)。因为他的经历,他不会那么容易相信别人。他有很多情绪波动,一分钟处在快乐中,另一分钟会悲伤,偶尔会疯疯颠颠!
他托着包袱,是个被受伤的男人,在成长的一个阶段,生活在绝望中,没得吃,没得住,一直到他走运,有个机会之窗。
虽然他在电视剧结尾时领悟到生活并非完美,人与人之间的关系是需要互相谅解妥协,但以他的背景和过去的经历,他这样的人仍然会是太复杂,不容易处理。妳不会知道他在想什么或他会如何反应!
那么,妳还认为车胜祖车会长是最佳的约会对象吗,是可以一起走下去的那个人吗?嗯…在妳潜入之前,想想前面要走的人生道路该会多么复杂吧!

的確啊,車會長雖然條件很優秀,但他的過去和歷史卻又很複雜,到底他是不是一個好伴侶呢?大家也許能好好思想一下喲!
Con tu risa de un ángel hermoso me a legras mi alma gracias mi niño lindo muchas bendiciones te mando q te valla bien en todo
车胜祖这个人物的表达,我以为是对某些不正确思想的警示。如此高富帅的男子自然对充满幻想的女孩是有着致命诱惑的,但是社会的不公平,主人公内心的创伤都让现实变得如此残酷。和这样的男人谈“恋爱”真的不容易啊,着眼于长远生活更是难上加难,尤其是来自贫困家庭的平民女孩。所以相比《检察官公主》里徐辩,车胜祖适于仰慕而徐仁宇更适于生活^^
Can complex love be called a dangerous fairy tale? President of the car, meet the girls for all the conditions of fantasy! Perfect external, but PTSD is not all girls can cope with! Love is a profound fate in life. It can neither make each other feel barren, nor let each other feel suffocated! Luxuriant material, is the most easily lost heart, disoriented! Girls chase, car president love, promise after, should be the rhythm of all one’s efforts! Only care about, will use the actual action to silently pay, and only really heart, will find ways to give each other to accommodate! Che Sheng Zu, is a very painful role, and go hand in hand with those who need great courage, and hope that double love will melt all the imperfections! Love, not halfway tired, rest on the back, but made a commitment to life to go, according to the state!
beautiful smile,,
Miss u shi hoo
Hmmm….
I take the view that the more trauma a person has been through, the easier the road ahead for the couple to travel along because tough times make a person more mature, wise and far more understanding and resilient than the totally protected flowers so to speak. Regardless of whatever mental illness CDDA Cha Seungju is suffering, still it was only a temporary illness, in the end he did come good with common sense and conscientiousness. What Cha has been through in my honest opinion is really nothing, other than making his tender soul a bit delicate, it wasn’t really anything that hard that he had actually suffered. The hardest times for Cha was to make his own success in both financial and career standing without his father’s help, which many people in the real world have actually been able to do that. Not to say Cha did actually receive help from his rich father that he only found out much later. Therefore it really isn’t that big a risk or difficulty to choose Cha as one’s life partner if chemistry is at play, not a difficult decision at all. I think many of us in today’s complicated and demanding world all of us at some time or another display different personality I meant suffering some degree of PTSD from life hardships or really unfortunate childhood. Give me Cha Seungju and say a whole life no hardship and well protected man by his family, if both men also strike the same chemistry with me, my choice will be the one that had suffered, and showing potential and capabilities in trying to improve his mental health. Meaning he must be someone having the realisation that he want to be a better person. No one will intentionally go out to seek hardship in life in order to learn those experiences, those whose fate had hardships bestowed upon them, if you take the reverse perspective, those life experiences is money can’t buy.
I probably did not express myself well enough as I blabbed quickly earlier. What I wanted to say is going strictly by the script of CDDA Cha’s behaviour or his illness stemmed from the cause of being jilted by a woman and the common theme of disagreement with his rich father that he decided to set out on his own, yes, bit tough, but these do not qualify as sufferings in my personal measurement of life. To me, sufferings which are damaging to a person are : example tortures by war enemies, sexual abuse especially by own father or relatives these are sufferings that will leave permanent scars on the poor person’s soul, often than not these people could never erased those horrible images and feelings. When it is such serious sufferings, then yes, one really has to think very carefully if one has the capacity and patience to choose such a life partner. Cha Seungju? I will just shake him and ordered him to stop crying and tell him how lucky he already is kekeke
Wow, Chai Hua, you did express yourself well enough! You’ve expressed also my point of view, but in a clever and understandable words, that make us approve that we can surpass a complicated love, if the person we love is helped to cure his temporary illness, due to the betrayal of his ex-lover. Because love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding. It’s scary to be loved and love somone. And Cha Seungju is scared , because life has been complicated for him, as it has thrown him off balance. But once he leaves his heart open, love is the easiest thing there is. Due to doubt, fear, expectation, these have made his love complicated. “The course of true love never did run smooth.”[W. Shakespeare] It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. So, I agree what you say:”it really isn’t a big risk of difficulty to choose Cha as one’s partner , if chemistry is at play.” And we must accept that the person we love will stay for ever in our heart, as love is not complicated, we are!
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 Stefania Lupu indeed Love is not complicated. We humans our minds and our emotions can be complicated when we allow them to be.
Spot on Stefania Lupu and Chai Hua Loke Love might not be complicated. It is people who are complicated. But unfortunately love involves at least two people, so people will make love complicated because being human means having feelings and there is no science to feelings. It is not as easy to understand and predict human behavior…
I agree with Chai Hua Loke that following CDDAs script there is no risk to be in love with Cha Seung Jo because of his symptoms. They are temporarily and to overcome with treatment and new found love. If he really suffered that bad from PTTS he could not be the CEO he is either. In everyday life when a non-PTTS gets involved in a love relationship with a severe PTTS proper judgment of the situation and one’s own character is advised. Love itself may not be complicated, but handling more difficult circumstances because of the PTTS influence should not be overlooked. In the case of Cha Seung Jo being in a happy love relationship could only make him a better man!
Cha Seung Jo, in his childhood, was marked by the fact that his mother left him, so he was deprived of maternal love and lacking the attention of a father too busy with business. In his first love, in Paris, he put all his soul and was left again. These emotional failures cannot be left without psychical consequences. The help of his friend, the doctor, and the chance offered by his boss in France (plus his father’s indirect financial help) saved him from depression and channeled all his energy to hard work, which brought him the success in business. The sentimental plan remained in a shadowy cone. You can be a successful businessman and that does not help you in love. As Kang In Joon said: “I’m good at cooking, cleaning and working. But I’m not good at love “.
I don’t think it must to minimize the psychic traumas from childhood, especially if they are punctuated by similar experiences at maturity. Some people are more emotionally sensitive, others have a stronger character and can move over these trials. So, it is understandable the refractory and suspicious behavior in front of a new love. It’s hard to build a stable and trustful relationship of love with such sequelae left in the subconscious. The script is realistic. PSH? Simply brilliant in interpreting and understanding the character.
Of course the script is realistic, as we can almost find one in a few in our circle whose childhood been deprived of another parent or both at young age, and we can also find in our circle people who have not been lucky with love after putting their utmost trust and faith into the relationship. Some people are of strong mind some are not therefore there can be such a Cha Seungju, no contest about the script. My view is expressed on whether Cha Seungju is really really that serious a case that one should think very hard before going into a relationship with him, my view is no if there is chemistry between the 2, his case is still mild (in fact to me is still within the normal category of people I meet in the real world that I live in) in terms of complications of experiences that thrown at Cha Seungju. In terms of his circumstances and his destiny, Cha Seungju is another fairy tale prince charming, therefore, no question about whether his “complicated personality” can be a factor to stop any woman from wanting to go into a relationship with him, in fact, if this prince charming exists in real life, he will get lots of suitors :). Back to the point of CDDA script, no question at all about PSH acting out the PTDS to the perfection for our enjoyment, no question at all. But my personal feeling whether such a basis of the cause of his PTDS as used in the script, whether those reasons alone are captivating enough to move my heart, the answer is no. 16 episodes were a bit short to develop the story with more convincing backgroung perhaps to add a bit more trauma to Cha til viewers like me could start to also feel the trauma that Cha had been through that escalated him to PTDS. But it was too short to tackle a topic which was trying to convey the 2 very complicated subjects 1) his background that led to PTDS and 2) the meaning of love in 2 very drastic worlds of the girl and the boy. Too ambitious a serie with just 16 episodes to delve into 2 subjects of complications hence CDDA’s script failed to impress me this viewer who I may call mysefl someone who has had some complicated life experiences myself. Yes, hands down on PSH’s superb acting out Cha’s role, don’t get me wrong, and I stick with my view that CDDA is loved by viewers all because of PSH’s more than brilliant acting. Think about any other actor in CDDA with that script….I think many of you probably couldn’t get through too far on CDDA unless you are watching mindlessly just to unwind yourself in front of a tv after a hard day.
CSJ has a lot of qualities to cover his little weirdnesses, that attract the women. But they must fight with his shyness and his suspicious character. And for this is necessary permanently patience, comprehenes and a true love. It is easy to find?
Chai Hua Loke I agree with you that CDDA had too few episodes. I like always the honesty (harsh sometime) of all your sparkling exposures. Today you were a volcano.☺️😘
Daniela Maria Miricescu Hahahaha, I do admit the harsh and wicked part of my comments. And I really like your description of volcano hahaha. Once Sue Lynn described me as typhoon. Having said all the above, Cha Seungju remains a prince charming in my view, in fact far more charming than Cinderella’s prince. Life will be filled with more laughters and fun with Cha Seungju than Cinderella’s prince.
Chai Hua Loke Daniela Maria MiricescuStefania Lupu Wilma van Zwietering I absolutely agree that life with Cha Seungju will not be boring and actually much more realistic. Life will be full of challenges, ups and downs and there must be understanding and compromise. If life were all rosy and smooth, where will excitement come from? 🙂 Cheers ladies!
Park Sihoo-ssi 박시후 씨 You have a good day ahead!
Stefania Lupu Daniela Maria Miricescu Wilma van Zwietering Dorothy Ooi On the subject of trauma, I like to share some real life stories, but I need to be careful not much is given as these are real and vividly alive people. 1) Romanian orphan unwanted at birth 27 years ago and a knife was stabbed on her head but she survived that stab so ended up in basement orphanage that do not see sun light at all, bare greyish wall, no human touch moreover wicked carers that inflict cigarette burns on the back of the children, washing is by huge powerful hose directly hosed onto a group of children, day in day out lie on the bare crib no toys no human contact so to amuse herself, she banged her head on the crib and discovered that warm blood flows out is a fascination as something different feeling and colour, vs the baren place and no form of contact with anything except the bare crib, later the wound healed the scab itself is another texture to touch and play with. So the child amused herself by banging her forehead on the crib til a deep scar on forehead, as well as that stab wound when she was born on her head. No feeding of milk bottle by human the crib feeding was by a tube next to the crib so the child only knows how to drink milk by turning her head sideway, something the adopted family had to learn to slowly correct. When 1st taken out of orphanage, the child screamed in extreme fear when exposed to sunlight later had to be inside dark cupboard in her new home to calm her down. The baby room that was prepared with nice painted walls, toys etc had to be totally stripped back to repaint bare greyish which the child was familiar with, colours and toys can only be slowly introduced. Today this lady is full of life and positive attitude. A great person who inspired many including myself just by being in her positive energy company. 2) A woman who has 4 most beautiful adult grown up children with very good husband living in good country very good quality of life but even by then as children already independent, one day, this woman of age could not pass her scared mind and emotion that was affected by childhood, she committed suicide. After 20 years since she killed herself, I could still feel strongly how deeply this impacted on her children. 3) A woman of childhood abuse, today established high esteemed position who refused to even meet the son given up for adoption because she doesn’t want to be reminded by a dark chapter of her life. The son himself has a very good family with children and successful standing etc himself, all the years he tried to find out about his birth parents finally found the birth mother, all he wanted is after nearly 50 years, there is nothing he actually wanted except to find the ties, after all he came to know his birth mother is now successful and respectable standing, however, he received a letter stating clearly NO crossing path due to the reason that the mother had been taken advantage in her youth and does not wish to be reminded. Of course he is disappointed as he thought both he and his birth mother are now each having established good living and positions, the past is not important, is the going forward connection that he was hoping to establish. But the scar is too deep for the birth mother. 4) my husband was bed ridden for about a year when his back operation was not successful, that was 20 years ago. For a man like him who can’t even sit still to do desk work, he likes to be on the move and doing physical work, can you imagine bedridden for a year how much that pulled him down both mentally and spiritually. Yes that’s the cause of his depression and as we all know depression is something that once striked hardly ever fully leave you. But did he let such trauma manifest in his path for seeking higher self esteem as the Maslow’s chart of human’s motivational progression? Not to mention my husband’s birth mother died when he was 8 months old and father died when he was 15 years old, etc etc… Today he and I we think we are living a full life as much as we could get out of what life can offer. So, Cha Seungju, just pull yourself together, your circumstances as scripted in CDDA, sorry, not enough to move me to feel your trauma, pull yourself up and get out of the self imposed misery. I am thinking carefully whether is appropriate for me to write all the above because of privacy but I hope sharing them would remind us how unfortunate some people can be but the message is whether we allow set back to pull us down, also the message that when we think Cha’s situation is realistic and explained his behaviour, there can be so many other traumas in the world where some scars once imprinted may never leave the person. I know your argument is so is Cha Seungju he is a delicate sensitive soul. My point is on top of the unfortunate situation when his mother left him and he was hurt by the love he placed so much trust into her, he did not suffer other forms of inflicted tortures, inflicted to the degree of extreme violation of human dignity and physical bodily pains. Period.
Chai Hua Loke I understand your point of view. I know life traumas can be much heavier than we can only imagine from the pictured life circumstances of Cha Seung Jo in CDDA. Compared to the lifes of the people in your explanation Cha Seung Jo is just a very lucky guy. Thank you for coming out with those real life stories, but I already felt what you meant. Deep respect for the people who have to deal with their life long scars
Wilma van Zwietering Thank YOU Wilma. There should not be competition in such traumas, I didn’t mean to belittle people’s sufferings including Cha Seungju’s. It was just a point to put across how the script as presented by CDDA though realistic but for dramatic impact, it would need more substance, in my opinion. After all this is a discussion like a book club though we have renamed it PSH drama and movie club.
Chai Hua Loke I know your sincerity. If the script writers would have dived deeper CDDA would have become a psychological drama. Maybe too heavy to swallow for many of us. PSH would have portrayed that very well too, although it would not have been an easy task for him
Agree with you Wilma van Zwietering. CDDA comes to me more like a comedy than a serious drama. But it’s use of psychological materials to spin the story means the script will attract viewer’s view that are similar to my criticism of where it fails. When it comes to matters of taste and subjective opinions there can be no right nor wrong. Instead is individualistically influenced by one’s personal experiences and preferences .
Chai Hua, thanks for coming with so many examples of severe traumas in people’s life, with dramatic effect on their bodies and mind. Cha Seung Ju , as Wilma also mentions, is a lucky person who could overcome his illness in his daily work, as a CEO. And I do also agree with Wilma that if the script writers had insisted too much on his trauma, for dramatic effect, the whole story would have become , for many viwers, in my opinion, too sluggish, “difficult to be digested” It is also true that PSH has very well got inside his character, revealing the sufferings due to this PTD. He was majestic in his interpretation.
And that’s the very reason why some PSH ‘s fans deem CDDA to be their top like of PSH ‘s drama. No contest about that either which I already mentioned CDDA ‘s success is due to PSH “s portrayal of Cha.
