wearing shoes at home is one thing (prevalent in some cultures), but wearing fucking heels right after you woke up, before you even brush your hair? That's psychopathic lol

random, but can we also talk about the fact Hui Ju is wearing heels in the house... in her pajamas? 🤣
I think that was the most surprising part for me so far

Hell is open and accepts new members :) I'm giving cookies at the entrance hahaha

rewatching episodes right now! Like damn... why is this so addicting? 😭😭😭
I have so many dramas to watch and I can focus on exactly zero of them coz my mind keeps coming back to this.

i volunteer as tribute 🤣

Forgive me Daddy for I was naughty.
Dignity? Don't know her.
I'm on an highway to hell.

Feminism? Who needs it? Not me apparently 🤡
My brain is a jelly right now.
No thoughts left.

Yoo Yeon Seok giving angry possessive daddy is not something I was prepared for, but even if I R.I.P while watching, I won't regret it.

ps. for anyone pressed, this is obviously a hyperbolic statement

Pretty sure he had feelings for her before their marriage. That's why when he found out she is supposed to marry some trash dude, he decided to switch the brides.

I think he knows she does not want to have anything to do with politics and does not want to be used, that's why he makes sure she is not known to public and drew a clear line during that dance. Also, I am sure he never even assumed she has feelings for him, I think he assumed she is just doing whatever her mother tells her to do and he does not want her to force any actions she is not willing to make herself. So he is keeping her on the arm length. When they get divorce after election, she can start over without any emotional baggage. I'd assume that was his plan.

based on nami wiki, the writer is Lee Jeong-shin. Might be their first drama, since even on namu they do not have their own page yet.

Some of my favorite quotes from the first half of the show 🥰

✒️ "You are not manly. You're not active. You're timid. You won't have any friends. You can't even work with other people." Because of people like you who try to mould people's personalities to fit your needs, many conceal their true selves like sinners. Everyone is different! And that's normal. Why do you always make me compare myself to others for being different?

✒️ I know you're trying, but... you're trying way too hard. You treat your job like your entire life, don't you? And you try to help others with everything. You were in the special forces, so you'll try to protect your employer like they're your country. Don't do that. It'll only eat away at you without you even realizing it. I told you. You're not okay. Feelings don't vanish on their own. They'll keep piling up like this. They'll fester and eventually explode. Should I tell you what would happen after that?

✒️ You should... breathe. You're too worked up right now. We can't talk when you're like that.

✒️Telling others to just let out their anger and let it go... could make some people uncomfortable. Some people can express their anger and let it go, but there are also people who really struggle to return to their daily life when they let themselves be angry. And for some people, that's more painful.

✒️ He wanted me to climb as high as I could no matter what I did, and he wanted me to be the center of it all. But in reality, I was like a solitary island. I isolated myself because I couldn't even be normal, like a strange solitary island."

✒️ You're not weird. It just means you are a kind person. Being kind isn't an easy feat. Your willingness to help others knowing your kindness wouldn't be reciprocated... Not everyone can do that.

✒️ I just hated losing. Not the fact that I lost. I hate letting others find out that I was sad about it. It made me feel like a real loser. So I was always like "Okay, it's totally fine." I always told myself that.

✒️ To me a promise is how I get close to someone. Being on time. Not going against my word. Sticking to the basics is how I show my respect. "I want you to like me and I want us to get close". To me, it's a proposal of sorts.

✒️ I hate being compared. But truthfully, I compare myself to others the most. Because I can't accept the fact that I'm jealous, I hate myself.

✒️ I don't hold back, when I'm certain about something.

i think it's rather easy to confirm. Does he still feel the "feelings" when he looks at the person when the person is not aware of it (so there is no mirroring of emotions happening at the moment) or when he is not in front of said person, but just thinking about them. While he still might have some reminding memories of how the person felt and how it made him feel as a result, it would be far less strong than his actual feelings he himself is feeling.

K-dramas be serving me free therapy this year 🤣

Not me relating to Chae Yong Ju on a similar level I've been relating to Bae Seok Ryu 🤡
Yay nothing better than sharing trauma and unhealthy coping mechanisms with fictional characters!

Yun Min Ju? Fucking amazing! 🔥
How tender he is at some moments, as someone with painfully huge avoidance tendencies, I would die 😭
But also the way he is so quick at picking up emotions would scare the shit out of me, coz I like to have my emotions hidden under a bright and cheerful smile 🙂

Realistically speaking they started with 100. They invited 200 for a first recording, but it was such a huge group, not like any of them was actually shown properly and it was just to brag how they started with the highest number of trainees 🙂

For me first episode seemed like the last turn of auditions that usually does not air 🤣

Yeah that's what fans of idols who commit crime also say: you watched the content so they know these celebrities are not like that 🤡 Maybe it's time to reevaluate that you don't really know who they are, just who they want you to see 👍🏻

My point is not that they are definitely rude people, but that we don't really know if they are rude or polite, because we only see what they want us to see, and NO celebrity would show they are a rude person on camera, even if they were the biggest asshole in real life.

Let's say you are going to the same restaurant regularity and you are usually served by the same waiter. Extremely nice and polite. Not once have you seen him act rude towards a customer. Can you conclude they are not rude person outside of their job? No. They are literally paid to be nice to people, it's part of their job. It's the same with celebrities - they are paid to present a good and clean persona on screen that is pleasant to people watching them.

I can tell they are not rude < the point is... you cannot tell shit lol You don't know them. You see the fraction of who they are and only the bits they want to show 🤣 There are so many known stories of celebrities faking their whole personality for years and admitting to it later, simply coz that personality fitted their concept for the idol. Best example: L from Infinite.

but I know these judges are not rude at all < so explain to me, how did you come up with this conclusion? Do you personally know these judges or did you watch like hours of content they put up online, that was specifically created to maintain their public persona?

I've been fan of Big Bang for the last 16 years, Hui's for 5+, Known about Lee Seung Gi and watched his dramas and interviews and variety shows he was in for the past 15 years, I'm currently getting into The Boyz for the past few months and saw a lot of shows and content created by Choi Young Joon. I also DO KNOW THEM as celebrities and I'm REALLY familiar with who they are AS CELEBRITIES, which means close to nothing in terms of who they are as real people.

bro you are just like anyone else who believe these judges are rude in real life < you seem to have problems with comprehensive reading, I clearly said: "Not saying it is the case here".

The difference between you and me is, I admit I don't know whenever any of the judges are rude or not in real life, since I don't know them in real life. While you are claiming none of them are rude people and any questionable action they take is to blame on production team. Let's see who seem more "brainwashed" here 🙂

Celebrities are people. People are rude - every person has some moments in their lives when they are rude for one reason or another. Like you... asking people if they are stupid simply because you disagree with their opinion 👍🏻

since you started this way, let me follow: are you stupid? At least in case of Lee Seung Gi he is way to big of a name to be a puppet for the producers.

Also, there are MANY rude idols, actors and celebrities and they fake being polite on screen. Not saying it is the case here, but it amazes me how confident you are saying none of the judges is a rude person in real life, when you know none of them and all you know is the public persona they deliberately chose to show to people. I think the one that needs to wake up is you.

Are many controversial things scripted or at least partially planned? Yes. But more often than not everyone on production side is in on it, judges included.

Fangs of Fortune becomes less and less interesting the more I see posts and like youtube shorts of it. Coz I saw quite a lot, and I still have no idea what is the plot... and it makes me feel like there is not much of any plot and it's just all visuals 😅

7.5 from you is like 5 from me 🤣 i guess good thing i did not start it.
"This drama was by a wide margin, my biggest disappointment this year." < holy shit... i guess it is truly time to remove it from my ptw 🙂

it;s not a lie tho hahahahaha

Every time he tries to stop Duan Wu from punishing people who did her wrong and acted illegal etc, with the "law will take care of then" when you witnessed how powerless the law is and how he himself currently experiences is - having the evidence of a crime and knowing it's not enough to bring bad people to justice. Initially I was fine with his foolish self-righteous act since he is just naive and has never seen the real suffering. But how many times can he see evil go unpunished before he starts to question the validity of the law system he claims is correct?
