I Was Invited to See Jo Seung-woo's Stage Play :)

Hello! It's been a while since I've written a casual everyday post.

I used to write on this blog so diligently..

For months, I was so busy with Ulthera, Thermage, and Titanium treatments that I barely had time to write.

It felt like I was treating patients nonstop.

Now that the chilly weather has set in and things have slowed down a bit(?), I'm finally writing a casual post. haha

On October 18th,

the great actor Jo Seung-woo invited Dr. Kwon and me to his first stage play, 'Hamlet,'

and I headed to the Seoul Arts Center with a fluttering heart..

After last year's 'The Phantom of the Opera,' this was my second time being invited to one of his productions.

Truly an honor + so moving + a bit of self-congratulation..

Is this what the life of a successful superfan is like?

The journey to the Seoul Arts Center was incredibly long..

I never expected it to take a full hour from Gangnam-gu Office Station T_T

My heartfelt sympathies to everyone commuting home at this hour..

Thank you so much for the great seats.... T_T

Dr. Kwon even had his photo taken up front.

A performance of over three hours... an absolutely massive length...!!

The audience could just sit back and watch,

but I was more worried about how he'd remember all those lines for such a long stretch.

Total fanboy moment.. lol

The story of Hamlet is so famous that everyone already knows it.

Actor Jo, who played the Hamlet pretending to lose his mind midway through, was simply outstanding.

I already knew he was talented, but I kept thinking, 'He's so good, he's really so good!'

His performance was just breathtaking.

How do you express loneliness through just the way you walk..? T_T

By the way, since we were in the invited seating section,

actress Jeon Mi-do was seated next to me, and Do Jae-hak from Hospital Playlist was in front of me...!! Plus, many other familiar faces

were there as well. haha

Jo Seung-woo must have been exhausted after the performance,

but he called the invited guests aside and gave us a little time together.

Following the manager, about six or seven of us, including actress Jeon Mi-do,

scurried over to see Jo Seung-woo..

Is it okay for a man in his 40s (me) to be swooning over another man in his 40s (Jo Seung-woo)...? lol

Since the show runs for a whole month,

it looks like about 10 days are left,

and I hope it wraps up without a hitch.

Seeing that he didn't make a single line mistake throughout the entire show..

I wondered how hard he must have practiced.. I was moved all over again......

Always rooting for you :)

Thank you again for the invitation.

This is the gift we gave to the actor :) Caramels!

I hope he enjoyed them!
