To dream … the impossible dream,
To love … pure and chaste from afar,
To fight … the unbeatable foe,
To bear … with unbearable sorrow,
To reach … the unreachable star.
– Don Quixote –
이룩할 수 없는 꿈을 꾸고,
이루어질 수 없는 사랑을 하고,
이길 수 없는 적과 싸움을 하고,
견딜 수 없는 고통을 견디며,
잡을 수 없는 저 하늘의 별을 잡자.
-돈키호테-

In this song, Don Quixote explains his quest and the reasons behind it … in doing so, he captures the essence of the play and its philosophical underpinnings.
To dream … the impossible dream …
To fight … the unbeatable foe …
To bear … with unbearable sorrow …
To run … where the brave dare not go …
To right … the unrightable wrong …
To love … pure and chaste from afar …
To try … when your arms are too weary …
To reach … the unreachable star …
This is my quest, to follow that star …
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far …
To fight for the right, without question or pause …
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause …
And I know if I’ll only be true, to this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm,
when I’m laid to my rest …
And the world will be better for this:
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach … the unreachable star …
I think it’s not about Sukkie himself, but about Dokgo Mate.
That’s why he used Mate’s pics with Weibo and Twitter. He must have filmed the climax part of ‘Beautiful Man’. That’s why he used ‘To love…’ part that was originally used not as a series. So I just want to say him, “Mate, go go to your dream!”
Thanks for great observation and input that the quote is relate to Mate’s character in the drama Bel Ami.
I’m so proud of you JKS..
Wish you strenght, hope, love and passion in chasing your dreams

Dear Tenshi.
Thanks for sharing this. Thanks for all your work that managed to bring us together, to express our thoughts and feelings. As I said, the place I felt most appropriate to express myself, a place with decent comments and in an informed. I wish you health and strength to continue this work. Same wishes and for all that I have met through their thoughts. Nice to meet you! Happy new year!
i just want to kill who ever wrote this >_< ! this just left my blood pressure to the roof .
http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/70353/20131220/iu-modern-times-epilogue-friday-pretty-man-jang-geun-suk.htm
so its jang geun suk fault that PM is failing HA ??! if i just find who wrote this i will kill him ……
Randa, it is okay. People have the right to express their thought whether it is good or bad – for us to view. It is our choice in how to handle such negative critics. You can make counter attack by stating strong and objective reasons of the result of the drama so far. The reasons can be taken – if available – from the original manhwa story line, script writing, drama writer intention,KBS request, and etc. Basically, the role of the casts mostly to deliver the script lines and how to act the char properly. However, it is the casts’s right to express their opinion to improvise the scenes/story.
About the fault, let’s say that the PD has instructed the casts in delivering the lines in front of the cameras. Once the PD expresses their OK and satisfaction, so this means no body’s fault. The actors have done great jobs in portraying the characters. Even, if I can say, drama team has chosen great casts even for the supporting roles. All of the six women so far wowed me and left such deep impressions. Even the little brat Cinderella, she’s great in portraying the role.
Remember what the Group 8 Director said to Sukkie in BA premiere, ” Thank you for keeping your promise.” It was an expression of thank you and satisfaction towards Sukkie. Though both of them then passed out after knowing the 1st ep’s rating hahhahaha. – Sukkie always knows how to make a joke –
Randa, no need to heighten your blood pressure :). It is no good for your health. No need to worry. All we need is to enjoy the drama and Sukkie + other casts’ performances. Cheers.
RANDA, you always worry too much. Why don’t you look at him only? Just ignore this kind of articles 😉
Randa, this article is so typical of those who don’t even bother to know JKS or his work. Just ignore it… i pity people who always try to find reasons to blame others like this. Let them and let us continue focusing on supporting our JKS 🙂
Sis chillax. I can’t be bothered to respond to online antics. As you know our beloved prince is a threat to those major industry players in the showbizz by being rich and famous on his own, given the oligopolistic market and the prevalent market practice , you would understand that there are bound to be paid online bashers. Even if they aren’t paid to do so one should appreciate that they took the time to voice out their comment. At least to those antics jks is famous enough to “spend” their time on him.
This was a very famous song in the 50s “the impossible dream” sang by frank sinatra (not too sure of the singer).
Suk is always an honest person. What he posts is part of him and what he posted summed up his quest. He is not only handsome but has depth. That sets him apart from the rest of his peers in the industry.
Who wrote the article did not understand that Beautiful Man is not a love story.
Did not understand the relationship between DMT and KBT. Did not understand the essence of the character DMT. Perhaps that is a fan of IU.
I think that IU feels intimidated by Jang Keun Suk’s strong personality.I noticed this and at the press conference before the series broadcast.But this is not his fault.
I noticed that most women are less intimidated in front of him. Might and because of his good looks and his eyes. Again, it is not his fault. It is their lack of experience and no offense, may be the lack of professionalism.
That they have the opportunity to be his scene partners should mobilize them and give their best.
From what I remember it, Park Shin Hye did very good next to him and between them created a special chemistry.
The same happened with Moon Geun-young in Mary Stayed Out All Night. Then where is the problem?
The article is written with the clear intention of hitting at any price in JKS.
Still not understood that they are afraid of him? His talent, his power to focus and mobilize, his charisma … Listen to interviews with him and other actors and see the difference. It has a great communication skill, great ease of expression, a developed sense of humor and a disarming spontaneity.
I say let us not impressed by such comments because it is neither the first nor the last. It is true that we leave a bitter taste but dogs barks, the caravan passes … and the horses do not die when they will dogs ….
I pray to God for ours Jang Keun Suk’s health , to be confident in its destiny and to follow their chosen path to fulfill his dreams.
With respect and admiration,
Happy New Year!
yeah, don’t worry about others opinion, just say that they don’t or don’t want to understand him, perhaps JEALOUS, as their idols cannot compare with him!!!
He is great, a warm heart, talented person, full of passion for his work, we all love him and that’s enough
Mary love you always Sukkie, fighting
So Ma Te goes from being completely materialistic to being completely idealistic. He starts out as a social climber and winds up a Social Worker. lol
Love it.
I commented about this tweet that must be related to his latest BM filming, but as JKS is also am ambitious person even facing difficulties ahead, he keeps these words in mind and used it this time, I suppose. This is his and Mate’s determined declaration, I’m sure!! Go go JKS! Go go Dokgo Mate! 😀
Let me once again utter my personal admiration to this young man through this quote: “Seeing someone reading a book you love is seeing a book recommending a person.” I never expected him to read all the books I love and those are not easy peasy books to start with :).
He is a knowledgeable person and he has such a great determination. He might fall seven times, but he gets up again eight times – and each time he gets back on his feet, he is getting stronger. I love him so much – just like all of you here- and continue wishing him all the best. He has put his great effort in portraying MaTe and brought enjoyment to our small screen. Even when people say bad things about his work, he should not falter… because he is the one who dares to dream the impossible dream. And Dokgo MaTe is also one of his kind… bring some JKS’ soul into MaTe! JKS & MaTe hwaiting!
Awwwww……With all the talking about deep and heavy “quotes” reminded me of Jang Keun Suk old journal entries he used to compose….. in his old Cy Fanpage, which is no longer exist now.
Some of his writings are sooo deep that I don’t even know fully what those journals or quotes mean?!
Dear EELs, I would like to share some of his journal entries with you. Here you go…..
Hi, I’m KeunSuk
What I want to say is..
People will always have one less good habit…
There’s a drama in which one of the old actor said this line before..
It says something like, after satisfy one man’s wish, he will ask for the 2nd, and after satisfy his 2nd, he will want the 3rd and 4th and so forth
In another words
When one is achieved, instead of feeling fulfilled, we will tend to have more desire.
I’m saying all these is because eels are human, I’m also human.
There is always something between us that we are looking forward to, but matters always seem to be always magnified.
I think between us, we should have some respect and etiquette.
Just like air!
We are human being, can’t survive without air
Because it is translucent, we cant see it but they are everywhere
Just because we cant see it, we tend to forget how precious air is to us.
That is why it seems that air is always polluted… Ah! Why am I saying all these…?
Anyway haha
I’m saying
What is near to you is precious, need to protect it.
And me.. eels exist in this manner, forever cherishing it.
But not only me, eels too should cherish your prince ah ~~~
——————-
Hi everyone! I am KeunSuk.
All of you must be tired right? All of you find this interesting right?
All of you… waited for long?
All of those hardships will be healed through today.
Just like a scene in <>
Is a sentence about fans that will not always be by my side..
Totally understood this but when heard of such words, I will feel scared.
Afraid to be left alone.. Afraid that I will be lonely..
But from now on, I will be stronger
Even if I am here and all of the people look at JKS and no longer with heart racing..
Even if you no longer remember JKS.. I will not be weak!
To those who have forgotten about me, and the time when you return again
In order for me to spread my arms with more warmth and tolerance to embrace you all, I will be stronger.
Trust.. Is important to me
I will entrust this trust to all of you
Jang Keun Suk will be more and more steady, and stronger
The road that I will be taking in future.. Please walk with me, together
Please support and urge me on, to have the courage to climb back even when I fall
To the Eels who belong to me.. I love you all… cri…

Title: Dream:
The person who do not know their dreams yet is the one who has to work hard to find his dream.
The person who has already achieved their dreams, and has subsequently lost their passion is the most unfortunate person in this world.
The moment that a dream that you have dreamt starts becoming reality
life starts slipping away.
While the person who faces their dreams and runs it towards without end is the coolest person in this world.
Title: Challenge:
I am not scared of any sort of challenge of new things.
I have enough passion to overcome such things.
You should also ignite the engine of your passion.
Title: Why?
Why are you deceiving yourself while excessively exaggeratively grooming yourself?
Why do you think that you are above other people?
Why cant you be truthful to yourself?
Why are you pleased when you see how spoiled you are?
Why are you living like that?
Star twinkles:
The star twinkles more to make those who look up at it smile.
The star twinkles more and more to make them look up.
Whenever we look up, the star always stays there.
And it shoots the brilliant twinkling at all of the people who look up equally.
Truthfully, in regards to this popularity it hasn’t really made an effect on me. I’m still the same as before, all I want is to act well in the roles I get, which is something I always thought that from an actor’s perspective is very important. – JKS
Title: Prince’s true nature
– no pretentious!! No comparation !!
That person got as strong as to be able to bluff
even while drinking with his friends.
The matter of becoming stronger, if you think about it
That could be the point where we start gaining similarities.
Although realizing the method to stabilize inside himself
The numerous hidden wounds and pain that he has received
Is a pretty difficult thing to do, in the end there is no other way
Except to get stronger. It is logically possible to consider that only by getting stronger can you protect your self.
Title: Rain-
Although your tears, which are starting to fall from the heavens, cruelly makes my shriveled heart as if wetly insane express longing, in the end I still do not feel the tears and similar kind of dampness from my eyes. In that way, my dry worn-out heart is in the end burned up changing into a black lump of ash, and time always like that, as if there is no problems, quietly passes by. Is this the change that I wanted in my everyday life? – JKS from old fanpage

To EELs who have never read JKS wisdom quotes before….. I would like share with all of some Jang Keun Suk’s powerful and meaningful wisdom quotes.
Here are some of them:
1.) “I always have a dream, and puts in my best efforts in what I choose to do. Even if the result in the end is bad, I will not be hindered by it, but will continue to have a dream for the next time – I am this kind of actor. “– JKS Cri-J
2.) “The road of Jang Keun Suk will never be perfect.
It is not possible to always get a 100%. But even if it’s only a 60, the things that I can comprehend are much more than from a 100 transcript.” –JKS
3.) “I thought that it doesn’t matter how people look at me. What is most important is what my driving force is. If I work hard, there will be returns. If I don’t, there would be nothing. The result is dependent on myself.” – JKS
4.) “If one feels proud of one’s career, one can live upright and frank regardless of time and place. That is the real life of an actor. What is important is not to show others, but to have an upright and frank attitude towards oneself.” – JKS
5.) “You know it’s kind of difficult thing to be unable to feel something as if you have no problems – without pain, without suffering, and as if you have no troubles. Then one day I asked myself, ‘Jang Keun Suk, are you happy right now? I asked around about what a happy life is and asked my seniors as well. Of course, there is not right answer, but thankfully I have found a little bit of composure in myself. And now I can enjoy things, at least to the point I can smell the scent of fall outside of the window.” – JKS old fanpage
One of the many reasons why I was spending days and nights reading about Jang Keun Suk in the old days. One of the reasons why I fall in love with him…thru his poetic writings and wisdom quotes. Even he is way younger than I am…..I learned so much from him.
You see, one of the reasons why I am helpless trap being his eel, forever..!!!! kkkk
Kailey…thanks for sharing these…I love it!!!!!!!!!!
I knew I love my prince but now I understand him more…and love him more..
I hope you have more to share…it’s a shame he can’t communicate like this anymore.
These are all things to think through…not just for the passer by…
I can understand some regret him and bash him for these because they don’t understand and if you don’t understand you will attack for it’s human nature
Thanks for sharing this sis Kailey. I’m a relatively new eel though I’ve been following JKS for quite a while and found his statements here and there bits by bits. He’s a very expressive young man and I like it about him, though some people considered him as a ‘big joke’ because of this. I hope he can stay true to himself no matter what, because anyway what we have in the end is our own self to love and to live with 🙂
Happy New Year to JKS and to everyone!!!! Thank you very much Tenshi for all your help and kindness.
To JKS,
If this in-depth dream and feeling comes from your heart, strive to keep yourself strong with everything.
If this is just a quoted “quotation” from you and not reflective of your emotions, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We, eels are always here with you.
No matter how big is ur dream,how powerful is ur enemy,how far is the star..it’s the willpower,the urge inside urself that’ll make u able to fullfil ur dream,beat ur enemy,reach the star.when u wish with pure nd strong heart,ur wish’ll surely b granted…:-)
Thank you so much for sharing the thoughts of JKS!!! After reading his quotes, I admire him more because of the way he expresses his feelings. Thank you!!!
