In case you missed it, Conan O'Brien made his cameo appearance on
a Korean soap opera drama
last night. I was hoping he'd be given a part that's a bit more wild and comical, but
this show isn't known for its outstanding creativity or anything. But hey he's
Conan and he plays his guest role wonderfully melodramatic with a sleazy, oily tone that somehow suits this type of drama and made me laugh, so well done Coco.
Conan seems to be having a great time in Korea, and I'm glad he brought his K-buddy Steven Yeun with him. They've been posting a lot of pics of their trip over on the Team Coco Instagram, but this one of them at the DMZ is probably my favorite.
This is from the romance drama "One More Happy Ending" (Korean title: 한번 더 해피엔딩) and Conan (코난 오브라이언) makes his appearance in Episode 10 which originally aired in 2016.
Basically in this scene Conan plays a potential client for an international
arranged dating/marriage service and comes to the matchmaker, played by popular actress Jang Na-ra (장나라). He even speaks some Korean!
But when he sees how perfectly beautiful the matchmaker is, he starts
describing his "ideal woman" to her... but it becomes clear that as he speaks to her he is just describing... her.
Thus he ends up backing out of the deal, because if he can't have
her, he'll have no one.
As he's walking out, he tells her to have
courage: love conquers all.
Here's a Naver TV video link that still works. [http://tvcast.naver.com/v/748934]

UPDATE 2: Here's an English subtitled version too [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-gMQQiRCfw].

On a personal note, I enjoy seeing these kind, warm-hearted celebrities
having fun over here (or putting on a great show looking like they're having
fun, at least). I thought
Jack Black did a great job on Infinite Challenge. Maybe I've been here too long, a lot of things that used to seem fun and
exciting are just routine now. Hey everybody experiences that right? But
through their fresh eyes, this dead heart inside me gets a little flutter,
remembering things like my own first time in a PC Bang, etc.
