Memories from ten years ago came back all at once. Back then, I was so infatuated with you. When others say that Song Seung-heon is affectionate, and that Song Seung-heon's crying makes people feel distressed, I leave a sentence coldly, and the back of the person who knows how to leave at the right time is beautiful. I heard that you are an introverted and shy country boy in private. I thought to myself that such people are attractive, and there is a huge contrast between career and life. People who are introverted and shy can't help but be curious and willing to get close.
Later, more and more idols flooded the screen and were overwhelmed. Later, I fell in love with many, many stars. Most of the roles they played were forgotten, but I remembered the names of these actors. As these names continue to increase, there are too many to fit, and there is no place for you.
When I see you again, I just glanced at the sporadic news, and saw that there was not much interest in watching your works. I know you went to the army and came back wounded. Being suspected of being questioned is not only about acting but also character, but I haven't spoken to you anymore. There was only one time when I watched "The Tai Chi Flag Flying", but it wasn't because of you. At that time, Jang Dong Gun's frown and smile touched the nerves of my whole body. So my impression of you is only in "Blue Life and Death", I still remember the name of Han Taixi. But I have always known that you have been seeking breakthroughs over the years and want to be a powerful faction.
Today, when I finished watching the movie with a lot of emotion, I calculated your age - 33 years old. It was about the same age as me when it became popular ten years ago. The previous mood came back all of a sudden, frantically searching for your news on the Internet, frantically looking for all the pictures and works related to you. Unexpectedly, you have been an actor for 15 years, but you can count the works on one hand. I didn't expect that the only friend who could be named after all these years was Jiang Dongyuan. After all, he failed to become a friend with Song Seung-heon. I didn't expect you to really successfully transform, from a protected role to someone who protects others, from a younger brother to a man. I didn't expect to see your wit, shyness, choking, frustration, and even a fatherly smile at the awards ceremony.
I understand that, like myself, you have grown up too. I also know that you have had a difficult time in these ten years. Just like Jang Dong Gun, only after a few subversive attempts will people really remember that you are not a vase, and then you can win or lose the award really lightly. Now I'd rather see you as you were, with piercing eyes, a youthful and ignorant smile, standing lazily, and your constant nervousness and shyness.
The image is always like this, there is a lovable and lost second male lead, and I mostly like male second. I have liked them all these years because of the characters, because in the characters I saw my own shadow, my own story, and my own desires, so I put my hopes on them and became an obsessive moviegoer.
Maybe when I see your transformation next time, I won't be so surprised and excited. Even if I watch you grow old, I won't sigh that "heroes from ancient times are like beautiful women, and white heads are not allowed in the world". Now what I want to see most should be myself, my sincere and beautiful self.
