the trailers for this drama were already released way back in the beginning of 2019, before The Game even had their first script reading, so this drama was created before The Game existed. https://www.bilibili.com/video/av52381281
real talk tho, it’s hard to be a creative because human imagination is finite. But you just have to go ahead with your ideas even if they’re similar to others because it’s about execution, and instead of wasting your time on lawsuits you could be creating more and getting inspired. Like smart phones lmfao, nobody at Samsung or Apple or Google gives three shits. It was a new concept, and then it wasn’t. Lawsuits just waste time and money. You could have a patent and people still wouldn’t care, and the public looks down on creative and business monopolies so you’d be screwing yourself over. ain’t nobody being Aristotle or Euripedes out here, sorry to break it to ya, but we were all born too late and there’s nobody to blame for that except whatever or whomever you believe in
I was nervous when Best Screenplay and Best Foreign Picture was announced, because I thought “no way they’ll get best foreign AND best picture” but alas for once the Academy didn’t fail me XD
TBF, many of the nominated (and the snubbed, of which there were many imo—A24 totally got squashed by Netflix this year it seems, in Oscar campagining) were brilliant films. What made Parasite stand out to me is that it’s truly original in its own right. Originality is a finicky thing when it comes to creative work because at this point all films allude to the ancient classics and classic philosophical theories and whatnot, but Parasite made me feel like I was watching something I hadn’t seen before. It was thought-provokingly entertaining and I didn’t know where it would go—the film just goes off on its own halfway through and it’s brilliant.
For my fellow bookworms: I think it’s very important to mention that this drama is based off the book The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo, which is an excellent read! I haven’t watched this show yet bc I don’t know how good the adaptation is. The author has also written another work called The Night Tiger, which I think was published last year? Anyway, for anyone who loves magical realism reads like me. :) gotta shout out the malay-chinese writers publishing in English
Omg. Yong-shik and Dongbaek have a daughter named after Hyangmi (the girl’s school uniform with the name Hwang Go Eun at the end) I thought I imagined for it since it was so fast but then... My heart ????
Technically this isn’t really a noona romance as I’ve seen it called considering Dongbaek is 34 aka 33 and Yong-shik is “over 30” lol just a technicality, but ya I wanted to point it out in case people were avoiding this because they don’t like noona romances or something.
I think people are misunderstanding the synopsis xD it's not about a female lead and her romantic relationship between three men, it's about three separate couples except the female lead is connect to all three men-don't know how, but one is the father of her kid. But there are three separate established relationships in this drama. In fact, the other two pairs are married couples. :)
OMG, yesssss! I just watched a drama where the male lead suffered a very traumatic hemorrhagic stroke and was…
I don't know about Kdramas (I imagine they do), but they're not in Cdramaland. half the time they don't even follow the script and change things whenever they want spontaneously, so I doubt a script supervisor would even matter. Then you have the censorship, incessant editing/cutting; many writers can't even recognise their own work after the production is finished. In China, actors have to be really aware if things like your example don't make sense, and bring it up with the director, but most times that doesn't happen because unfortunately only the critically acclaimed actors--I'm talking the likes of Gong Li level actors-- are that dedicated to their craft.
Agree. What about drinking water?? They always take them out from the refrigerator and drink?? Is it a common…
I thought that was a common thing? That's how my family (asian-american) has always done it and other people around me too? That's even how we did it in college where all my housemates were non-asian. I literally cannot drink lukewarm water
No streaming website seems to have this on yet ... I am really excited to try this out especially since the cinematography…
No streaming site has *stolen it yet ;) if you are interested in seeing translation progress, you should check @hpriestsubs on Twitter, all the streaming sites will be stealing his subs, so they won't be uploaded until he finishes.

I don't think machine translation is going to put translators out of jobs anytime soon.
