ShortCircuit

- deepest waters LOL

- it's not just Bale. It has to be Babylon too - the general is in it. JinMan fought them both.

- no, he betrayed JinMan. His call came too late and only to bring JinMan to the tunnel. I don't care about how forced he was, he's in it in the end and that's all that matters.

- money. Lots of money for Pasin - he and his friends built JinMan's shop, LOL, did you forget how much money they got out of him? And then there's friendship.

- yup :(

- Babylon is just a merc group in the end. Even if there's some more hierarchy, they won't go all down for the sake of a few exes.

- Pasin is a calculated, pragmatic man. And he had to keep training MinHye LOL. And who says he was away? He just skipped on his lessons with JiAn, maybe to prepare better for the trapping of Bale.

- I think the general was in the coup against JinMan, myself.

- MinHye is all for JinMan already LOL

- Brother is good at keeping the shop up and running :D

- JeongMin reset the murthehelp when it should've taken 24 hrs to do it. I think that's what Brother is mad about.

- No, they don't need murthehelp. They were a good business way before the site came up.

1. Drugs. Very good drugs. And lots of helpers.
2. We'll see. I'm expecting a special episode, a TV movie or a sequel.
3. If JinMan is alive, Bale isn't.

One was self-defense and instinctive, it would've given her time to run away, the later was intended and final. And she owed him anyway, for killing and maiming Honda (which she had been having nightmares about for 14 years.)

Hold on, where the AWESOME soundtrack? I WANT that BGM with a passion!

She proved she could kill bigger bad guys, and then bought off everyone else. The risk/reward ratio was in her favour.

I don't even care HOW, he looks like he went 11 rounds with Bale and won anyway :D And he's freaking ALIVE which we knew anyway, but dammit, as the timer ran out I was increasingly frantic LOL. 10 seconds - I don't care, it was enough.

Dammit what a rush of adrenaline, LOL.

I really really hope they're going to make a special ep or TV movie out of his fight with Bale because I want to watch that. And I need to know MinHye made it.

Kim MooJin, ah Kim MooJin, how far you've fallen! DHS should've killed you anyway LOL. Though not really .

I LOVED how SeongJo dealt with JeongMin, LOL, TWHAP take an axe to the head hahaha bastard. And urgh, JiAn taking off SeongJo's head, yeeesh! That got really gruesome really fast.

But I don't care, because JinMan is alive and (mostly) well, JiAn made it and presumably so did (at least) Pasin. But I really REALLY want to see MinHye alive too. And to find out how the f*ck did JinMan deal with Bale AND Babylon. I hope he killed that freaking bastard general.

...Can't believe I'm seriously fangirling over a manic ex-mercenary killer, but here we are LOL.

You FREAKING BASTARDS!!! (But it's okay, I love you anyway :D)

You all can't see me but I'm having a one-person party of screaming around LOL

ETA Mouse, where's my freaking special ep or TV movie?

Honda. He's an ex-mercenary, probably. He's Brother's brother.

The actor is Park Jeong Woo, he was ML in The Director Who Buys Me Dinner.

He doesn't need a dummy, he has great drugs (that can help him pretend to be hypothermic and dying one moment and then he's all up to going to war the next.) And he has lots of helpers that come out of the woodwork like ants when he wants them. And he has a reason to stay hidden - he wants to draw out Bale once and for all, since now JiAn is living on her own and he can't protect her 24x7 as usual.

I think he's alive.

Yeah, Atom Comics, LOL. They're the only European source, everybody else is in Asia :(

Oh well, at least I know the novels are there, they'll eventually come up somewhere accessible here, too. I hope. And until then, we'll all just have to budget, LOL, money is for spending anyway :D Thanks for the links, they're all bookmarked :D

Yeah, just discovered Rosmei's only EU seller only has the preorder for HTSAAV (and wants to be paid in Polish currency which I don't have) and the other sources have just an amazon.uk option for the continent... but amazon.uk won't ship to my (European) country, probably because of taxes and stuff. So I'm kind of out of options at this point. But at least I know the books exist, eventually I'll find a way, or some retailer will pick them up for the EU too *keeping fingers crossed*

At LEAST SevenSeas grabbed You've Got Mail and Bring In the Wine (though they mangled the title, made it something like Ballad of Sword and Wine or something), if I get THOSE two novels, I'll be (almost) at ease.

Well, I mean, there's still Copper Coins. And a few others...

But if they licensed some novels for Singapore only, doesn't it mean other publishers can buy the licenses for everywhere else? Because they bought How to Survive as a Villain, and dammit, I WANT that book so much!! I've been giving SevenSeas lots of my money for what they've printed so far and can't wait to give them more - I wish they'd have grabbed HTSAAV too, they sell everywhere in the western world T_T

I meant long periods of time - but THAT too, OMG, THAT addds to the stress so much (and pain, too). I've been having trouble sleeping since a teen, and ANYthing can make it worse (heat most of all, but also stress, pain, work, even excitement...)

The worst is when you're so tired you can FEEL your eyes closing, and your head dropping and you're on the way and can't WAIT to put your head on the pillow - and then you do and you're wide-awake, eyes burning in your head, body heavy as hell and your brain deciding it's high time to go over all your past, present and future mistakes, everything you ever did wrong in your life, every cringy situation you've ever been in, every smart-ass comment you DIDN'T think of in time, every what-if about when things went horribly wrong...

I bet people who sleep regularly or easily have those moments too... But I have them basically every sleepless night. One learns to cope... But it's freaking tiring. And when you're a woman, too... dammit. Double whammy.

When was this filmed, actually? They got Zhang Ruo Yun added to the main roles almost as an afterthought, and Liu Duan Duan as a support chara - I guess this started or was filmed around 2019-2020?

The people who forgot him never knew him in his first life, except for the grandma - and she was dead in his first life by the timeline of the deletion so that's why she might be confused about where MyungHa went to.

The one who remembered him was his ex-gf in his first life, and knew him in both lives, so she didn't get to forget.

You survived 4 days on no sleep?! OMG. You're lucky to be alive, TBH. I'm breaking down and turning into a monster on two days no sleep, and by the third, I'm a danger to myself and society. But those days are, helpfully, long in the past. Now I do get to sleep (at least 2-3 hours) in my worst times.

I'm glad you're better now - if you need medication, you NEED it, and trust the doctors. Chronic insomnia is a pretty bad ailment. Here's a hug, we'll get through each and every night (or day) as they come! Sleep will come, eventually :D

I have had long periods - like months at a time - when I'm functioning on 2-3 hours of sleep per day. I got used to the constant tiredness, the feeling of pressure, the lack of energy. I tried as hard as I could not to get addicted to energy drinks or anything sugary or any kind of medications (for making me sleep or for keeping me alert), because I seriously don't want to get addicted to anything...

Cold helps - whenever it's cold outside, I function better and also sleep a lot better. White noise also helps a lot - I've been falling asleep with YT 10 hour-long videos of hard rain or strong winds or winter storms sounds as a background (they keep playing for the whole time I'm sleeping). Cats help - if you get trapped in a nest of cats around you (and it's not too hot), you won't move - they're freaking sleeping pills.

But I still hate waking up the next morning and having to go to work or travelling (I don't hate work per se, or the destinations - just the obligation to get up if I don't feel like it, or want a day for myself). As I'm growing older, it gets really tiresome to do it and keep doing it for the years it'll take until I don't have to, any more.

It's been like this for basically 30 years for me, now (though I never slept well, as far as I can remember). It doesn't pass, psychologists can't help with it, medication is a bit dangerous, and the regular functioning people never understand the struggle. *sigh*

This is cute. But also short. But cute.

To anyone commenting on lack of consent... this is freaking yaoi-based, not rocket science or a statement on current social do-s or don't-s, these guys are not strangers to each other, even if they haven't met for a long time, one of them is bordeline depressive and about to breakdown from terminal insomnia (you tend to start hallucinating after some two-three days with no sleep, don't ask me how I know), and honestly, what Kai did to him to make him sleep WORKS (don't ask me how I know this, either, LOL). Lighten up a bit, not everything needs to be all-time, everytime completely PC and picture perfect from a Hallmark-level of reality POV.

I'd like to have a word with that supervisor, too - I mean, what the heck, man, is Hiro his victim of preference? The others all seem aware of it, nobody said anything yet - seems like they're starting to feel a bit courageous though - he's due some cutting down to size for what he's doing. Let's comment on THAT kind of abuse, shall we?

And what's Kai's problem? When they said his dad abandoned him, was it like - on the streets? Alone by himself but with shelter and food and a social network in place? Because if the former... that would cause PTSD. I wonder if that's why he's so quiet and efficient and non-assuming (except for declaring himself Hiro's fiance, LOL). Go get him, Kai!

He is, on AsianWiki. Nobody added him on MDL yet (I've tried making changes before but the rules changed and I keep doing something wrong and don't get approved - I just gave up at some point. )

And JeongCheol could be around too - maybe he's the one hiding JinMan right now *let's just hope so* :D

...YeoWoon is 18 (or about to be). Don't you remember being a teen and in love for the first time? It's not rational at times.
