A few friends have asked me why do I love Rain... they usually say, " come on, wah lau, he's not even good looking, only got a six pack what.. i also have"
I thought for a while before doing this post... cos maybe to friends who are older than me, they would think, aiyoh, this kind of face one usually playboy 'patten' one... but honestly, i'm not into his looks... ppl who know me long enough will know that there are characteristics in ppl whom i am drawn to...not every single eyelid guy i like ok...
I remember when i first saw 'Full house", a korean drama acted by Rain, I wasn't so into him.. just thought his face looked damn comical... it wasn't until I heard one of his songs... 'I do' from one of the illegal downloads( sssshhh...) that I started to sit up and take note of this guy... he has a rich deep voice... at that moment when I heard it, it felt as if I was taken into another world...*yes it sounds out of this world, but it's true*
I began to find out more about him... eventually, I was drawn to his background and his values... lived in a poor family and lost his mother to diabetes bcos they were too poor to treat her... he promised his mother at her deathbed, that he would do her proud... when he first started out, he worked really hard, surviving on two hours of sleep each day... remembering his promise to his mother each day... eventually he won the most prestigious award in Korea for singing and dedicated it to his mother... prob most of you might think, come on, which star who rose up did not have such a background... it's up to u to believe...
Seeing Rain today means that dreams do come true... maybe working in a corporate world for such a long time made me forget this... that dreams do come true... if u are willing to work hard enough... we slog each day for the sake of money but yet we forget our initial dreams and vision... Rain kept in mind his dream.. and in most of his interviews, he has encouraged young ppl to pursue their dreams.. that dreams do come true if we try hard enough...
