spoilers man. please edit your comment and check the spoilers box so that you don't spoil the drama for others.

Kim Seul Gi is gorgeous.

i'm trying to understand the logic behind the idea that you get a nose bleed when you are fatigued/ stressed. that's not how the human body works lol

i thought she looked hot.

thank you!

You should go check out the recommendation forums, they are the general Asian category.

thank you :)

i heard an explanation of how fan death can be a real thing once. it goes something like this.

basically it's usually elderly drunk people and it's summer time. a lot of old people in korea dont run the AC even if they have it so it's HOT and they are old and drunk and turn on a fan in a closed up room b/c you dont sleep with the door/ window open either, so the fan is just circulating the hot air and basically just turns the room into a big convection oven and they old drunk person dies of dehydration. it's plausible.

most of the more traditional restaurants in korean are pretty cheap. the apartments are hella expensive though.

here in the US we have the same thing where you can get a phone practically for free but the contract service plans are really expensive.i think 72,000 won (about $72 us i think?) is REALLY expensive for a single line. i have a no contract phone that only costs $15 a month for everything (talk text 4g) but i had to buy the phone. Which you can also get pretty cheap if you don't want the newest latest coolest thing

jdramas tend to be more realistic in many ways, less in others.

the fluffy ones are very 90's to me lol

at least it's not just me. someone starts screaming in my face i have ZERO chill. maybe it's an american thing b/c here if someone hits you you are allowed to hit them back and there will be no legal consequences as long as you don't use excessive force. in all the dramas it seems like you be in just as much trouble as the person who started the fight.

the whole "don't sleep on the floor/couch/ whatever or you'll get sick" cracks me up. if that were true i'd be dead. i used to have korean neighbors, the mom used to tell me not to fall asleep with the fan on, cuz fan death is a thing. i looked at her cross eyed "Ahjumma, i've been sleeping with a fan pointed directly at my face for 30 years. i aint dead yet."

i've heard from multiple sources that in Korea there is really one beauty standard. there's a list of attributes that are considered perfect the closer you are and more of them you have the more attractive you are considered.

this is very different from the west where what is considered attractive is mostly down to personal preference.

on the subject of suits, have you seen the korean version of fated to love you? Choi Jin Hyuk had some straight up pimp suits in that.!!! where does one ever procure a marigold suit? or one with a hand draw grid pattern???

that sounds like a plan!

i used to work at a Chinese restaurant. once the owner ( a wonderful Chinese lady) came in and my manager wished her a happy birthday. She said she was 60. i almost choked on my fried rice. "but Xia Ling," i says "you barely look 40!" she pointed one expertly manicured finger at me and said. "Avoid sun, good lotion, don't smoke and" she leaned in for effect "NEVER SLEEP IN MAKE UP!" words to live by.

well i'm glad, i love to make people laugh

you're so sweet. i don't usually feel that way but sometimes you watch dramas and think to yourself "if that's the grading scale....ooooooo boy."
