Kate

he was turning.
1. he had nose bleed,
2. his name was on the list of people turning
3. I did not pick it up, but someone write in the comments that his temperature started going down, which was also indication he was turning.

Oh. No need to feel sorry. I was honestly concern you might have been misdiagnosed that's why i asked. Coz from what you said, you might have problems more with long term memory (either storage or retrieval of information), and not as with prosopagnosia, with perception of the face. But it's all "might" since without proper tests it's really close to impossible to diagnose a specific disorder since there are lots of overlapping diagnostic criterias for different problems...

Okay, you got me curious. Coz during my studies i have learned that prosopagnosia can only refer to someone not being able to recognize/differentiate between faces and has nothing to do with memory problems (as in you can't remember faces because you don't "see them" right in the first place) but you are saying you can see the faces, but you cannot memorise them (create a lasting mental image of them even when they are not there), so it sounds like neurological disorder associated with memory and not perception. Out of professional curiosity, do you perhaps know what code from icd or dsm your neurologist gave while giving diagnosis? I tried to find some more medical cases describing prosopagnosia of someone who sees faces but can't remember them, but could not find any, maybe medical code would help.

Edit: okay so apparently prosopagnosia is not listed in dsm (my mistake. I live in europe and we use icd, i am not as familiar with dsm codes).

I mean... U could get the answers while reading the novel i guess hahaha

Prosopagnosia was used in many dramas, doubt his story would be unique BUT they should still give as a bit more than just him talking how bad it was for like 15 seconds. He was main lead too, after all.

Well, good thing AgentKevin thought about making discussion topic about it, so it shows somewhere on the page

conclusion: they should make it a full length drama if they decide on a more complex story than just cute romance.

I just REALLY like the idea of monos and probes and they hinted about how different the relationships between them can go (happy like main pairing here and Yeon Woo's parents) or bad/sad/scary with the monos being obsessed over probes. Or imagine if they added side plot of probes hunting down monos, lead by a dude that was almost killed by his mono. Like... so many plots could be added if it was full lenth hahaha

Well, for my review I clearly said I will write trigger warning in a comment hidden under spoiler, so people know my comment under my review is a trigger warning.

but with comment section, posting about triggers is usually mostly useless since there are many new comment all the time, so it gets buried...

true, but not everyone has things that trigger them, but it might be a spoiler for them. That's why they are put in a spoiler. So people who need to check triggers can still check them, but people who do not don't see spoilers of the story.

I wouldn't have minded if they actually went full black/white for the whole show for full immersion but I understand that's not as appealing for the general audience. < didn't think about it myself, but I 100% agree. This would make the show even better!

R goes for violence too. It's about the suicide attempt.

Love the story, would love it more if they had more time to explore the setting they created...

It starts around 5th minute into the episode, as he gets ready, but the attempt itself is on 6th minute. For one minute he prepares the rope and gives us flashbacks of his moments with Yoo Han.

Trigger warning: Yeon Woo attempts suicide in episode 7. It's shown in a not too triggering way (he decided to hang himself). Still, can be too much for some.

the lack of romance genre is quite weird. It's not like the romance is small in there. It's quite a part of the plot lol

Glad you enjoyed the show tho. The characters were for sure the best part of it :)

That was interesting and brave article (brave coz damn the fandoms are clashing quite a bit).

I have not seen Alice yet (and I'm getting less and less interested in it the more I read and hear from the fandom), so I will speak only from perspective of someone who saw Sweet Home and comment only about that part of the article. Since I simply cannot speak about something I have not seen.

There is one thing that I kind of missed here, which is a huge factor in deciding what show to watch by a lot of people - emotional aspects. Like you described SH as "Surviving in the world occupied by monsters" but HUGE part of the plot is fighting against inner demons and desires. This is what, in many moments, is the driving force of the plot and characters decisions.

Totally agree with the jump scares. While it has horror elements, I wouldn't even call it a horror in the top genres. For me it was more action, survival and psychological.

As for understanding the plot, yes SH is quite simple plot wise, but while you can enjoy the show without fully understanding the past stories, you will miss the depth it has as a commentary about humanity. The show is driven by the characters, not the plot itself. So without putting some work to understand the characters and their motivations, the drama loses it's charm.

I cannot agree that SH was about "defeating enemies resolves everything". It was about surviving. They didn't go around trying to kill all the monsters. They didn't try to defeat, they tried to stay alive. They tried to avoid them to survive, while trying to create a system of working together.

True that SH was not the most physically brutal show out there. There were a few scenes that I reacted with: that's more than we usually see. But for a show like that, it was not the worst thing ever. I think SH focused more on the emotional hits. The deaths of some characters were not necessarily extremely brutal and gruesome, but emotionally charged and at times even touching.

And yes, Korea is way more "chill" with nudity. Rarely ever we see any in their productions. More often in movies than in dramas for sure.

So yeah, it was fun article :) There was a lot of "comparing" going around on drama pages, so I would say it's good to create an outlet for people to voice their opinions in a shared space.

From what I heard from other people (so I cannot say it's true lol), Alice was more plot driven, while Sweet Home was more character driven type of deal. But yeah, no idea how true it is for Alice, since I have not seen it.

Of course it differ from person to person, but on average it's rather as I said it is. All you have to do is read some comments on this page or, I don't know.. The Ghost Bride or any other adaptation and you will see that great majority of people who read the source material first liked it better than the adaptation itself. And I saw this pattern with all adaptations I have seen.

Zhou Dong Yu truly slayed the role. I loooove her acting co much. It's so natural and believable. And I agree, the visuals basically explode to your face hahaha

The visuals in the movie were amazingly well done. I got so hungry when watching. The shots of food preparations were just masterpieces of themselves.
