CELEBRATING THE 6TH ANNIVERSARY OF PARK SIHOO-SSI’S “THE PRINCESS MAN”!
庆祝施厚君的“公主的男人”第6周年!
From my recollection, the conversation went something like this in one extra special segment of Park Sihoo-ssi’s “the Princess Man” when Seryung had to wait a long time at the bridge for Kim Seungyu to turn up:
Seryung: I thought you were not going to show up.
Seungyu: Oh, I came late on purpose.
Seryung: Oh…?
Seungyu: So that you will be more anxious to see me when I turn up…
In the drama, Kim Seungyu used deliberate lateness to whet Seryung’s appetite to see him. And he guessed right because his Princess was glad to see him even though she pretended annoyance.
Park Sihoo-ssi has learnt from his play acting and used this tactic in real life. He kept his fans waiting, deliberate lateness to maintain their interest!
He did it on purpose in Fukuoka, Japan as part of the program for his Dramatic Thanksgiving Festival. His Kim Seungyu deliberately appeared late on stage to keep his princesses anxiously waiting for his appearance. And his deliberate lateness ploy worked so well he was extended a tremendous round of applause when he made his entrance! Smart man!
Then in Tokyo, he was late for rehearsal as they had to change the original heavy sword he had intended to use for his swordsman Kim Seungyu to a lighter bamboo sword due to the injury of his hand. And this resulted in a delay in the start of his performance in Tokyo.
But other than during his Dramatic Thanksgiving Festival, we have also experienced deliberate lateness or unexpected lateness our favorite man on a number of occasions!
When Park Sihoo-ssi went into self imposed restriction, with no sight or sound of him, time literally crawled or came to a standstill! He had his loyal fans anxious and worried sick about him, not knowing how or where he was! And boy, were we jumping for joy when he suddenly made his comeback, straight to shoot his movie “Scent” in Shanghai at the beginning of 2014!
Then he kept us waiting again in deep suspense for news of his new drama after he finished “Local Hero” in March 2016! It would be one and the half years before this new drama “My Golden Life” goes on air! So much suspense and speculations, starts and stops! Come to think of it, I wander if he were doing a Kim Seungyu on us, keeping us as Seryung, waiting anxiously and eager to see him!
Now, we just have to be patient, counting down to the start of his filming of “My Golden Life” and his return to mainstream Korean dramaland on 2 September 2017! Still some way to go…but this time, the waiting will be infinitely sweeter! We know for sure he will be coming!
Deliberate lateness or otherwise, we will be here waiting for him, as always! No matter what!
故意迟到
从我的记忆中,在施厚君的“公主的男人”里,有一段特别难忘的剧情,就是李世姈在庙宇的桥上等待金承琉的赴约,等了好久他才出现。记得他们的对话是这样的:
李世姈:我以为你不会来了。
金承琉:哦,我是故意迟到的。
李世姈:哦… ?
金承琉:因为当我来的时候,妳会更焦急的见我。
在电视剧中,金承琉蓄意迟到,去引诱李世姈。他猜得可正确了,因为他的公主看到他时心里特别高兴,但假装烦人。
施厚君也从他的电视剧中学到了这招,在现实生活中使用。为了保持粉丝们的兴趣,他故意迟到,让粉丝们等待!
在福冈就这样,把迟到计划为戏剧化感恩节活动的一部分。他的金承琉故意迟迟才出现在舞台上,让他的公主焦急地等待一段时间。这策略蛮好用的,就如他所料,他的公主们对迟来的他的反应特别剧烈,人影都未出现,公主们都已经热烈的为他鼓掌了!聪明的男人!
然后在东京,彩排时,他又迟到了,因为手受伤,本计划要挥重剑的他,不得改换一把较轻的竹剑!彩排迟了,影响了开场。
除了在他的戏剧化感恩节活动之外,我们也经历过他故意或无意迟到的情况!
施厚君选择自我反省的时候,消失得无影无踪,那时,时间就像在逐渐爬行或停滞不前!他的忠实粉丝焦虑不安,都为他担心,不知道他究竟怎么样,在哪里!直到2014年初在上海拍摄他的电影“香气”时,突然露面,我们都乐了!
然后在2016年3月播完“小区英雄”后,又让我们再次等待他的新剧的宣布。“我黄金光辉的人生”是我们苦苦等候一年半的时间,经历多次的悬念和猜测,开始和停止才终于等到!想着,他是否是在让我们像李世姈一样,等候金承琉般的心感焦急呢?
现在,我们只好耐心等待他开拍“我黄金光辉的人生”,并在2017年9月2日回归韩国主流电视台!还有得等的…但这回,等待将会无限的甜美,应为我们知道他肯定的会赴约!
故意迟到或否,无论如何,我们将一如既往地等待着他!加油啊,施厚君!

無論施厚什麼時候到來,愛他的人都會熱切期待。因為他值得被等待,就算要等一段時間,我們都願意。期待他的新作品,相信他一定會傾盡全力,不會讓我們失望啊!
自从做了施厚君的粉丝,等待就变成了“必修课”^^几年来焦虑的,害怕的,欣慰的,甜美的,各种滋味的等待都经历过了,而无论是哪种等待,最后施厚总会给我们一个机智的忍不住让人“破涕而笑”的答案,由此可见施厚君的魅力不仅仅在于他的帅气,他是个有智慧的绅士。感谢施厚君的“迟到”,为此我们学会了多少本事啊?!现在发现施厚又“学会”了一招,就是让他的公主们猜猜猜,不久前一套茶具就让我们连猜带蒙学习了茶与茶具的知识,还有前两日“一年晒一次的脚丫子”,施厚君是不是又在说,猜猜我在哪?^^总之,做厚粉不仅可以在厚剧里得到乐趣,在旅游,美食,时尚,语言等方方面面,施厚成了我们的心灵导师,“因为他的好,我们愿意变得更好”
发得太着急,写的过于粗糙了。关于施厚君的魅力当然有很多可说的,“欣赏他始于颜值,陷于才华,合于性格,久于善良,终于人品”这样一句话已能说明一切,而他的机智和幽默则让他总是能鲜活于我们心头^^
美文『“欣赏他始于颜值,陷于才华,合于性格,久于善良,终于人品”』。妙句。
很抱歉,昨天因为一边写一边在看QQ聊天,所以写得句子不连贯,你说的这句本来要写个出处,但是找了一下没找到,不过觉得能很好地说明成为厚粉的心理路程^^
A variety of emotions, various forms of the screen, so that chase, just as ripe fruit, fireworks vacated, relaxed release of beautiful rhythm! Chasing each other, is to try their best to feel the flavor of incense and love! Wait, let the left hand experience grow together, the right hand lesson is vertical and horizontal! Looking back approach, everything is so calm! Choice is unshakable! Confidence in the heart at the same time, the glory of the light is shining! The trend of pursuit, frank and pure, is irreplaceable! The passage of time, the world is still, everything is cyclic, we took the smiling face and the tears of the earth, and a cycle, is sound in! Good luck to all of you, Shi Houjun and all your friends!
Oh it reminds me of the Little Prince and the fox: it must be tame. Waiting for the arrival of the other. To be wanted so that the heart of the other learns the value of friendship, of love.
extract :
“Come play with me,” suggested the little prince. I’m so sad… (comme play with us PSH !”
“I can not play with you,” said the fox. I am not domesticated.
“Ah! Pardon, “said the little prince.
But after reflection, he added:
– What does “tame” mean” ?
“You’re not from here,” said the fox, “what are you looking for?”
“I am looking for men,” said the little prince. What does “tame” mean” ?
“Men,” said the fox, “they have rifles and they hunt.” It is very embarrassing! They also breed chickens. That is their only interest. Are you looking for chickens?
“No,” said the little prince. I am looking for some friends. What does “tame” mean” ?
“It’s too forgotten,” said the fox. It means “creating links …”
– Create links ?
“Of course,” said the fox. You are but a little boy for me, like a hundred thousand little boys. And I do not need you. And you do not need me any more. I am only a fox to you like a hundred thousand foxes. But if you tame me, we will need one another. You will be unique in the world for me. I will be for you unique in the world …
“I begin to understand,” said the little prince. There is a flower … I think she tamed me …
– Please … tame me! he said.
“I will,” replied the little prince, “but I have not much time.” I have friends to discover and a lot to know.
“We only know the things we tame,” said the fox. Men no longer have the time to know anything. They buy ready-made things from merchants. But as there are no merchants of friends, men no longer have friends. If you want a friend, tame me!
– What should be done? Said the little prince.
“You must be very patient,” replied the fox. You will sit first a little far from me, like that, in the grass. I will look at you out of the corner of your eye and you will not say anything. Language is a source of misunderstanding. But every day you can sit a little closer …
The next day the little prince returned.
“It would have been better to return at the same hour,” said the fox. If you come, for example, at four o’clock in the afternoon, at three o’clock I shall begin to be happy. The more time will come, the more happy I will feel. At four o’clock I shall be agitated and worried; I shall discover the price of happiness! But if you come any time, I will never know what time to dress my heart … It takes rites.
“What is a rite?” Said the little prince.
“It’s too much forgotten,” said the fox. This is what makes one day different from other days, one hour, other hours. There is a rite, for example, among my hunters. They dance on Thursday with the girls of the village. Then Thursday is a wonderful day! I’ll walk up the vineyard. If the hunters danced at any time, the days would all be alike, and I would have no holiday.
So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of departure was near:
“Ah! Said the fox. “I will weep.”
“It is your fault,” said the little prince, “I did not wish you any harm, but you wanted me to tame you.”
“Of course,” said the fox.
“But you’re going to cry!” Said the little prince.
“Of course,” said the fox.
“Then you gain nothing!”
“I win,” said the fox, “because of the color of the corn.”
(I win’ said Claudie, ‘Because of the memories that color my life since our meeting in Japan’)
Wonderful! Bravo Bravo Bravo!
Can we take “Deliberate lateness” as “Better late than never”? I think we can take it ,when this applies to PSH. Even if he takes his deliberate lateness ,as his purpose to make his fans eagerly awating for him, then we can say:Better late than never”. On the other hand he is using deliberate lateness to control his fans’ expectations. In a good mood !. The longer they are waiting for him, or his projects, the happier they are, on his appearance at a show or in a new drama. A very smart tactics! And then we can say :”It is never too late, even his deliberate lateness , waiting for good news from him.”And :”It is not too late for him to do anything he wants to do”, either enjoying us or accomplishing his dreams, Yes PSH, sometimes your deliberate lateness was never too late to start over, never too late to be happy, never too late to make your fans waiting for you.! Because we believe you, because we love you!
Smart man to deliberately keep his princesses anxiously wait for his appearance at Fukuoka? I would add mischievous man too. Probably peeping from behind the stage curtains to gauge how long more his fans can stand the agony of waiting to see him
appear on stage. After getting to know him for a year and a half now, certainly have observed that streak of mischief inherent in him, which makes him all the more lovable in the eyes of his devoted fans. And mention of his devoted fans prompts me this relatively newbie to salute all his loyal diehard fans who have firmly stood by him through thick and thin, continuing to fight battles and undeterred by long agonising periods of absolute no news of him even though hearts and minds are disturbed by anxiety and fear of unknown outcomes. I am not sure I could have been as strong and as persevering as you lot. I am relieved I got to know him after the worst part of the storm is over, and he is on the verge of his comeback in a big way. Even then the path of his comeback during the last 18 months has not been entirely smooth too – there have been quite a few anxious moments as well – but admittedly the uncertainties pale in comparison to the pre 2016 period. So it’s heartening that the waiting has not been in vain. I read with delight the contribution by Claudie today of the extract of little prince and the fox. So she is the fox who at the end won because her life has been made more colourful since her encounter with the la petite prince in Tokyo. So in the same way our waiting has a reward – while enduring the wait our lives have been painted more colourful by this la petite prince!
That’s so cool Dorothy, both your account of the waiting period for PSH’s comeback as well as Claudie’s fox and little prince interpretation. Well Done
