"Lee Yoo Chan can be wildly annoying, but he's actually a soft-hearted person.", - added Dry, - "It seems to me that my character and I are similar in this sense. We both have soft hearts that don't go well with our appearance and behavior.". Ha Yeon-soo said that the character of her character is similar to her character, with the exception of an incredibly phenomenal memory.

Dry and Ha Yeon-soo asked to say something nice to each other. Dry immediately passed the microphone Ha Yeon-soo and the girl, laughing, asked: Don't you have anything to tell me?". The actress first of all thanked her partner for the attentive and careful attitude towards her: " First of all, thank you for treating me warmly, like a very close friend, and supporting me in the conversation. Thanks to you, I was able to give an interview while being relaxed and in a good mood. And I also appreciate your little tender face!".

After the words Ha Yeon-soo Dry also took the microphone and said: " I also thank you for treating me like a friend, and thank you for doing everything to make me feel comfortable".

The artists were then asked which particular scenes viewers would like the most in the drama "Rich Man". After a moment's reflection Ha Yeon-soo replied: " I was not present there, but Lee Yu Chan ( Dry) and Min Tae Ra ( Kim Ye Won) there were a lot of kissing scenes. I dare say that these scenes will cause romantic feelings in the hearts of the audience.".
Dry chose the scene where Lee Yoo Chan buys Kim Bo Ra new clothes. Since Kim Bo Ra always wore the same inexpensive clothes, Dry said that the scene of shopping for Bo Ra's clothes and necklace will make viewers' hearts flutter.
The artists were invited to play the game "Would You Rather". Dry and Ha Yeon-soo they had to choose an answer from two proposed options and they had to answer simultaneously after three seconds.

Write a review on the article "Kim Chun Myung"

An excerpt characterizing Kim Chun Myung

He, destined by providence for the sad, unfree role of the executioner of peoples, assured himself that the goal of his actions was the good of the peoples and that he could direct the destinies of millions and, through power, do good deeds!
“Des 400,000 hommes qui passerent la Vistule,” he wrote further on the Russian war, “la moitie etait Autrichiens, Prussiens, Saxons, Polonais, Bavarois, Wurtembergeois, Mecklembourgeois, Espagnols, Italiens, Napolitains. L "armee imperiale, proprement dite, etait pour un tiers composee de Hollandais, Belges, habitants des bords du Rhin, Piemontais, Suisses, Genevois, Toscans, Romains, habitants de la 32 e division militaire, Breme, Hambourg, etc .; elle comptait a peine 140000 hommes parlant francais. L "expedition do Russie couta moins de 50000 hommes a la France actuelle; l "armee russe dans la retraite de Wilna a Moscou, dans les differentes batailles, a perdu quatre fois plus que l" armee francaise; l "incendie de Moscou a coute la vie a 100000 Russes, morts de froid et de misere dans les bois; enfin dans sa marche de Moscou a l" Oder, l "armee russe fut aussi atteinte par, l" intemperie de la saison; elle ne comptait a son arrivee a Wilna que 50,000 hommes, et a Kalisch moins de 18,000.”
[Of the 400,000 people who crossed the Vistula, half were Austrians, Prussians, Saxons, Poles, Bavarians, Wirtembergers, Mecklenburgers, Spaniards, Italians and Neapolitans. The imperial army, in fact, was composed of a third of the Dutch, Belgians, inhabitants of the banks of the Rhine, Piedmontese, Swiss, Genevans, Tuscans, Romans, inhabitants of the 32nd military division, Bremen, Hamburg, etc .; there were hardly 140,000 French-speaking people in it. The Russian expedition cost France proper less than 50,000 men; the Russian army in the retreat from Vilna to Moscow in various battles lost four times more than the French army; the fire of Moscow cost the lives of 100,000 Russians who died of cold and poverty in the forests; finally, during its transition from Moscow to the Oder, the Russian army also suffered from the severity of the season; upon arrival in Vilna, it consisted of only 50,000 people, and in Kalisz less than 18,000.]
He imagined that by his will there was a war with Russia, and the horror of what had happened did not strike his soul. He boldly accepted the full responsibility of the event, and his clouded mind saw the justification in the fact that among the hundreds of thousands of dead people there were fewer French than Hessians and Bavarians.

Several tens of thousands of people lay dead in different positions and uniforms in the fields and meadows that belonged to the Davydovs and state peasants, in those fields and meadows in which for hundreds of years the peasants of the villages of Borodino, Gorok, Shevardin and Semenovsky had simultaneously harvested and grazed cattle. At the dressing stations for the tithe, the grass and earth were saturated with blood. Crowds of wounded and unwounded different teams of people, with frightened faces, on the one hand wandered back to Mozhaisk, on the other hand - back to Valuev. Other crowds, exhausted and hungry, led by the chiefs, went forward. Others stood still and continued to shoot.
Over the whole field, formerly so cheerfully beautiful, with its sparkles of bayonets and smoke in the morning sun, there was now a haze of dampness and smoke and smelled of a strange acid of saltpeter and blood. Clouds gathered, and it began to rain on the dead, on the wounded, on the frightened, and on the exhausted, and on the doubting people. It was like he was saying, “Enough, enough, people. Stop... Come to your senses. What are you doing?"
