Choi Dokyung has been groomed on a certain path
In a way, I envy Park Sihoo-ssi’s Choi Dokyung in his latest Korean drama “My Golden Life”. Born with a silver spoon, he has nothing to worry as his is a life that has a certain path.
As what he said, it will be “사장，사장，의장 or CEO, CEO, Chairman”. The first CEO being of a company, the second being of the Group and finally, Chairman of the Group. His life has been all planned for him, no need to think, just fit into the shoes and follow the certain path to the top. Such an easy life of hardly any worries.
Makes me envious when here I am, having to work hard, finding my own way in life and not knowing what will come up along the way.
In preparation of his future role
Even before I watched Episode 13 when Seo Jian asked him about his dream, I had also thought the same. What is Choi Dokyung’s dream in life? Going down that certain path was what someone had planned for him. And not only in his work life, even his marriage had been planned. There is a target family with a daughter who was studying abroad. He hasn’t met her yet and their families are already talking as if the marriage were a done deal, barring unforeseen circumstances. And he accepted these plans and is prepared to go with the family’s wishes.
A man on the path to head the chaebol
What does Choi Dokyung really want? Does he have any inkling? Does he even dream? What he had told his best friend while they were in high school of being a war zone news photographer, is this zeal still in his blood?
Will he choose going down the mundane certain path or will he break away at a certain point? We wait to see…Looking forward to this weekend’s KBS drama “My Golden Life” on KBS 2 at 1955h Korean time! Tomorrow! Yeah!
Ready for the hot seat
“我黄金光辉的人生”: 计划好的道路
在某种程度上，我羡慕施厚君在他最新的韩剧“我黄金光辉的人生”中饰演的崔道京。银勺子出生的他，没有什么可担心的，因为已经计划好，肯定的道路等着他。
正如他所说的，他的人生将会是“사장，사장，의장或总裁，总裁，主席”。第一个总裁是指一家公司的领导，第二个总裁是指集团总裁，最后是集团主席。他的生活一直都是为他计划好的，没有必要思考，也不用担忧做不好，只要踏入鞋子，并按照一定的道路走，一定会达到顶峰。那么容易的人生，几乎没有任何后顾之忧。
Born with a silver spoon with life cut out for him
这种人生有点让我羡慕，因为一生以来我都必须努力工作，摸索着自己的人生，一步步的，不晓得在路上会有什么遭遇。
在第13集徐智安问崔道京他有什么梦想之前，我已有了同一个问题。崔道京在人生中自己有什么梦想呢？一路以来都有人为他计划肯定的路径。不仅是在事业上，甚至婚姻也计划好了。有目标的家族有个女儿正在国外留学。他还未见过她，但从两家的口气，好像婚姻已经是定局了，交易已经成交，除非有预想不到的情况发生。他接受了这些计划安排，准备按照家人的愿望完成人生。
Nothing to derail him from his certain path
崔道京真正想要什么呢？他自己知道吗？他究竟有没有梦想？ 在高中时，他告诉过最要好的朋友说想当战区新闻摄影师，他这个热血的愿望还存在吗？
他会选择走平凡，稳定的道路，还是会突破走自己想走的路呢？我们等着瞧…期待这周末的KBS电视剧“我金色光辉的人生”，KBS 2台，在韩国时间1955点播出！明晚！耶！

#朴施厚# #我黃金光輝的人生# 不知道道京哥哥最後會不會達成自己兒時的夢想呢？還是會一直按住家族的安排呢？但我相信，在不久的將來，他的人生可能會因為一些他意想不到的人和事，而漸漸有所改變。很想看到他驚奇又意外的表情啊！
Certainly Choi Do Kyung had his childhood dreams. But they were suppressed in time, of the rigid education that their family gave him, preparing him for the life they had already planned for him, as you say Nance. It’s surprising his childhood choice that his friend remembers, and in total discordance with what has become now. I believe that deep in his heart still has this repressed dream and enveloped in sorrow, because it has been clearly seen that Seo Ji An’s question about his dream in life disturbed him. My feeling is that Choi Do Kyung is a wild horse kept in rein, waiting for the moment to free himself.
I wrote something a few weeks ago on a flight home. I will share this tomorrow.
Ooo, tomorrow, what a day! I can’t wait ^^.
How very apt that writer So gave the material that CDK’s childhood dream was to be a war photographer. Photography and food seem to be PSH’s top interest in his everyday life. Yes he likes to travel too, but failing to have everyday opportunity to travel, I believe photography ranks even more frequent in his day to day life, as for food, a lot of times for his works and projects, he has to hold back from enjoying eating anything and everything he likes. Of course I know war photography is a totally different planet of interest compared to the photography PSH is doing in his real life. in MGL, he could not even remember what he cited as his ambition when young, got to ask his mate that goes to show he doesn’t think about it too much. Only focus on being a good Choi’s son. The title my golden life, my take is CDK too will reap many levels of self actualisation and fulfilment out of this life, but I have absolutely no idea what the writer is gonna to feed us with.
