This review is a day late as I have been on the road…in Seoul. When Episode 30 of KBS drama “My Golden Life” was being aired “live” on KBS 2, my flight just took off, so I couldn’t watch it on Sunday night and could only catch it last night. Of course, I was very antsy at work yesterday, couldn’t wait to knock off for the day and rush home to watch what I knew would be a really exciting episode given that the audience gave it a big thumbs up with a rating of 41.2%!
I wasn’t disappointed, even though my expectation was high! What to do when you simply love Park Sihoo-ssi’s performance as Choi Dokyung? And he was magnificent breaking free from the stifling chaebol upbringing and planned path he had been subjected to obey and follow!
Life as a third generation chaebol, a son at that, is not easy, even though he has no want of money, luxurious lifestyle, power and influence. As long as he follows the path that has been set for him, including how he behaves, who he befriends, who he marries and most importantly, obeys every whim and fancy of his grandfather, the founding father of the Haesung Group, he is made for life.
But this means he has no personality, no personal will, no love and no life! And as Choi Dokyung experienced more the lives of the ordinary folks whom he would never socialise with if not for an unfortunate lie, he would never know what life is all about. He would not know the meaning of love. He would not think to lead a life of his own choice. And he would not be breaking free!
But as fate would have it, he met his match and found himself. Now, at the end of Episode 30, he made a brave choice! He was breaking free! Breaking free to find his life and his love! He chose to go on his own, become independent!
Good for you, Oppa Choi! But…are you ready to face life as it comes along without the shelter of your rich chaebol family? I hope you are ready for the turbulent ride!
Liubi, I think you may be right when you said “I have a bad feeling!’ Now that your boss is breaking free, going independent, what will you do? Will you continue to be his sidekick or will you be breaking free too from this crazy boss?
“我黄金光辉的人生”第30集:选择自由
这篇文章来迟了一天,因为上周末我出国了,去了首尔。当KBS电视剧“我黄金光辉的人生”的第30集在KBS 2台直播时,我的航班刚起飞,所以星期天晚没得看,只能在昨晚第一时间观看。昨天工作时就像热锅上的蚂蚁,迫不及待地等着下班,赶回家去观看我所知道是非常激动人心的一集,因为观众给了这集大赞,达到了41.2% 的观众收视率!
尽管期望很高,我并没有失望。就是喜欢施厚君饰演的崔道京的表现!而他壮观的摆脱了财阀的教育和计划好的人生道路!
尽管他不缺钱财,奢侈生活方式,权力和影响力,但作为第三代财阀,人生并不容易。只要他遵循为他所定的道路,包括他的行为,他与谁做朋友,与谁结婚,而最重要的是服从于他的祖父,海星集团的创始人的命令,他的人生可以过得挺舒适的。
但是这意味着他没有自己的个性,没有个人的意志,没有爱情,没有人生!如果不是因为一个不幸的谎言,让崔道京经历了许多平时不会接触到的普通人,他绝对不会知道人生是什么。不知道爱情的意义,不会想过自己选择的人生。也不会挣脱,寻找自由!
但是命运不由自己,他遇到了对比,发现了自己。在第30集结尾时,他勇敢的做出了自己的选择!他摆脱了!选择自由去寻找自己的人生和爱情!他选择了独立!
好帅气啊,偶吧Oppa 崔道京!但是,你是否准备好要面对人生,不靠富裕的财阀家族的庇护?希望你已经准备好了!
柳秘,你说的话可能正确,“我有一种不好的预感!” 现在你的老板正在摆脱,争取自由,独立,你该怎么做呢?会继续做他的搭档吗?还是会摆脱这疯狂的老板?

A PRAISE FOR PARK SI HOO! Episode 3o belongs entirely to Park SI Hoo, as his perofrmance is majestic, revealinfg
,A PRAISE FOR PARK SI HOO! Episode 30 belongs entirely to Park Si Hoo as his performance is majestic , revealing his gorgeous talent. With not many words, but with his facial expressions, with his eyes, he could put a spell on his viewers. And I am one of them. “You frown, you are sad, and then laugh. You are out of your mind?” tells him his friend Gi Jea.Expressing himself without using words, only through his facial expression, this is peculiar to Park SI Hoo. He can do anything to express himself using his facial expressions and this is a form of his art. Because behind everything there is a talented , gorgeous actor, who can’t be emulated , imitated by other actors. He is a versatile actor succeeding to get deep into the minds of his viewers , making them truly live the moment , and me too. The most touching moments, for me, in epidode 30 that brought tears in my eyes are:1. When he is wartching Hyun carresing Jian’s hair, reminding him when he carresed her, before kissing her. 2. When he reads the announcement about his dismissal as vice-president, that astonished all his employees , and hurt him enormously. 3. When he hands his parents his letter of resignation from the company. For Park Si Hoo , acting in a drama or movie is a great medium to express himself, and a great environment to work around. And episode 30 was for Park Si Hoo the best environment to prove his great talent,his professionalism, his love for acting. And at the end of epiode 30 , reminding his friend’s words, he tells himself :”I’m smiling again.!” Yes Park Si Hoo, acting in “My Golden Lifer” you are smiling again, you are proving again your talent, left in waiting to be used for almost 5 years. And now :YOU CAN SMILE PARK SI HOO!
👏👏👏👏👏Applause Sihoossi for his magnificent art and talent. And applause to Stefania Lupu who so accurately accounted these !
Applauses for Park Si Hoo, dear Chai Hua.
I wanted to say this last night when i read your comment about his eyes but i was occupied last night. In episode 28 ( i think or 27) i saw his eyes when he went bid his last goodbye to Jian by saying please live well do better than you are now. When he turned away and Jian called him….that moment that scene his eyes really melt me. A turn of face full of hope but to find Jian only called out about Jisu…those disappointed eyes yet dare not show too much to Jian of his disappointment hence trembling to make his eyes calm there and then i thought i saw the 2 forces of his eyes there and then: one to keep steady emotion, two the trembling dancing of his eyes like crystal reflection against sunlight
There is a saying:”Eyes are the windows to the soul”.And we can see Park Si Hoo’s soul by his eyes.As you excellently have seen his soul . his emotion through his eyes in the scene of episode 28. I quote:”…two the trembling dancing of his eyes like crystal reflection against sunlight”. “Whatever makes an impression on the heart seems lovely in the eyes.”[Saadi]
I saw that scene again yesterday after i posted my comment: it is episode 27, not 28. 😊
