I watched this show as soon as it became available on Netflix and I really liked it! Well, if you have a townhouse like that in San Francisco, then, you are a millionaire. But that is not the point of this show. I think many of us can kind of relate even though you are not an Asian American.
I cannot think of any of my friends I know from very early age can be someone like that. But my mom once told me that the next door boy used to like me. I didn't really agree and I'm glad he never brought that up to me (if it was true). Because many of my girl friends actually liked him, and I used to bring love-letters from those girls to him. His mom used to tell my mom that he was really pissed that all I bring to him is something from someone else.
Anyway, this show has a lot of "I know what you mean!" moments and very funny! You won't regret your time spent for checking this out.
Because I sign NDA, I cannot spoil any part of the film. But I was told this photo is "OK" to be posted anywhere I like. I cropped out a few extra people, so I can make myself look like hanging out with celebrities more closely and my hubby next to me didn't want me to post him in this photo.
Hope this work becomes available to the rest of the world soon. They will keep us posted about that.
It was an interesting experience though all I did is putting $450 and got two T-shirts, then, followed by showing up their NYC Premiere. It was also very good to see my name in the ending credit though I was one of several thousands, it seemed.
If you are reading this, you know how much I am into Sung and how sad I was on the moment I found Sung won't be there. But that does not make me stop supporting Sung and his projects.
BTW, I wish I can visit Canada soon. I heard many movies are made in Toronto these days. I was seriously thinking about showing up there to be one of many extras. Maybe next time...
Meanwhile, photos from Instagram posted by my friend's account:
I'm regularly checking IMDB for the latest work, but somehow, I missed this one until another fan in Instagram started posting about this show. Oops. I must stop claiming myself as #1 fan, finally, maybe?
Anyway, it was great to see him playing a bad guy who cannot be the worst. While it is free online, check out the episode at:
I was a little slow updating this blog lately, but it does not mean Sung is not in my head. He is always on my mind!
His birthday is coming soon! I didn't send anything this year, but I plan to find something nice while I'm traveling Japan in mid to late April. Then, I will hand-deliver that to him when I see him in person in NYC in early May. Hope he will be there and can accept my gift. Hope he can still recognize me, too...
I know I'm a bit behind, but I saw several posts from Spain while Sung was there. Glad to see you seemed to have had a great time there.
Now, I cannot wait for May 6th! It's still not 100% clear if I can get to see Sung in person there. But I can surely see him in the big screen! Photo opportunity seems to be a bit more limited than I expected, but I understand. Let's see.
Meanwhile, Sung shared his update from Spain! Looks like he is test driving the latest EV from Audi there. Thank you for sharing! But you forgot to show your cute face there. lol~
Anyway, I can't wait to catch up with him and congratulation to all who were involved in this project to put together such a great work. I know I haven't watched yet. But I can smell it already. It's going to be super great!
Another good news is that it's not too late for someone who missed the perk to secure a seat. Check this out:
I recently received an email about confirming my first/last name to be displayed in the ending credit of "Code 8," but it was not clear if premieres already took place or not. I hope not. I didn't even know there is a Facebook page for those who signed up for premiere show to confirm which location we'd like to attend. I just joined the group today. Hope I wan't too late. It says
"Currently these are LA, Vancouver, Toronto, NYC, Miami, Dallas, Chicago, Australia, and London! At this point, movie premieres are expected to take place in December of 2018."
I know delay was already announced earlier and this page was created in April 2016. Hope the above is just outdated announcement.
Meanwhile, it seems that there will be the latest announcement from the movie staffs/casts on Wednesday, Feb 13th. I forgot where exactly I saw that because I can no longer locate it in:
I don't have any news about what's up with Sung. But I can share what I discussed with my friend this weekend over a hot pot and Karaoke. She has been my very good friend since before I came to know Sung. That's a fairy long time. She knows almost everything about what I've been through since I moved in Maryland in early 2000's. So, I'd better listen to her well when she shared her feedback about what I said.
She knows that I've been into Sung for 10+ years. But it's pretty obvious for everyone that Sung is an actor and I am just a fan. She was surprised when I said "Sung is my best friend." Well, I know, that's probably not accurate. And I wasn't offended when she denied my statement. And I did not argue with her about her feedback. But I also know that I don't have to give up on the idea that Sung and I are connected somehow.
What she explained to me is that "best friends" have to be someone you can text any time you want, and get a response in reasonable timing. Of course, these days, we have many way to send our "love" to any actor or some kind of celebrity. I can DM Sung somehow in such way that Sung will see my message. But that does not make me as his best friend.
I think of my other friends whom I haven't even contacted for more than 20 years. I still cherish all the memories I have with them and I am so sure that when we get together again someday, we treat each other as our best friends. Or at very least, I have a very good feeling about them and even though I have no idea about what happened to them since I last saw them in person and no way to contact them now, I will consider them as my friends.
I suppose what my friend wanted to remind me is that Sung is an actor. If I talk about him as my "friend," I look silly. I'm not a teenager any more.
Confirming if you are a friend of someone's or not could be tricky even among non-celebrity people. There is no official document to register a "friend." You can "friend" or "unfriend" someone via SNS like Facebook. But that does not mean much for many people. Just because the person accepted your "friend request" does not mean you are actually considered as a friend. Well, that's what it is. We don't have to feel good or bad about that.
To be honest, I'm very bad at remembering people's name. For me, Facebook is a saver of my memory-challenge. So, if the person really think I'm his or her friend is not that important. Also, someone I know block me somehow, I don't really care. If we start thinking about it, it could go anywhere. Well, typically, I get "accepted" when I send a friend request. But how much is being actually shared is unknown.
Actually, this discussion was not only about Sung and me. I also talked about other "friends" who may not be actually friends. I seem to have a lot of imaginary friends. Well, they are real. But they ma not consider me as their friends. It's true that I don't "hang out" with them very often or almost not at all.
There are people who still ask me about a "house-warming party," that I once mentioned when I moved in my current house. That is already almost 5 years ago. But it never happened for some reasons. But I'm thinking... perhaps, I finally throw the party sometime this year, so I can see how many people actually show up. In worst case, I can extend my invitation to our neighbors to scavenge left-over foods.
I saw someone was lucky enough to bump into Sung yesterday in Hollywood. But they are wrong about Han RIP in 2 fast 2 furious. But I guess that's not important here.
What important here to me is that we can check out Sung's latest look.
By the way, looks like Code 8 project is finally wrapping up. That's great. But one last thing I want to find out is that they schedule premiere in NYC on the day that I cannot make it. That will be totally sucks because I've been waiting for that since a few years back. I know there will be a few other places for premiere. Hope they let me pick whichever day works with me, if my first choice, NYC, does not work out with me. I booked my flight to Japan in April. So, hope that is not going to be the time they do premieres in various cities.
If I don't get to see Sung in person, I'll be very sad. T_T
We had a great December 2018 because we were able to watch almost live-time daily update from Sung! Thank you very much for uploading the video and sharing your wiz-words. Highly appreciated.
