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?

honestly SML did not even annoy me that much, but then episode 9 ansd 10 happened 🤣

I love how she becomes more and more spicy! 💖💖

The best romance is the one that shows chemistry between characters even when they are not on screen together.

When their separate scenes still have some significance for each other. When you can see how their actions, motivations, reasonings are planning is influenced by the other person. When you can see how they change each other and start to trust and understand each other, even when they are separated.

I am also so happy Duan Wu doesn't get swayed by mashed potato with no seasoning not even salt boy Zhang Jin Ran and his self-righteous idealistic completely not grounded in reality talks. She only gets more ruthless and makes sure he he gets that they are not the same and he will never understand her.

Theme songs are ALWAYS ridiculously hard to perform and they are supposed to be hard to perform. Made for higher vocal range, quick tempo, a lot of details and a lot of big movements not only help differentiate between bad and good trainees, but also among the good trainees between the true all-rounders and those who still lack in some aspects. But to evaluate that, you need to watch everyone perform alone, or at worst in small groups, you need to hear them sing etc. I mean... this song is not easier than YWY S3 theme song, and we had Lisa, who had years of experience and is known as one of the best performers in kpop saying after one take dance she was close to puking. And yet they had these trainees, some who had zero or one month of training dance it like 20 times? UNPROFESSIONAL, that's what it is.

Also, I'm sorry, but out of all the judges Lee Seung Gi having his "mentor" moment talking about how important determination and skills are when he went against the judges during auditions and passed the dude just for his AI face, when he had ZARO skills. They should have made Lee Seung Gi just the main MC. He knows nothing about being idol and he is obviously not up to date with the industry at all. He is a ballad singer who is now mostly known for his acting...

Getting pissed about international trainees is ridiculous, because literally everyone makes it about nationality. It's not like Korean trainees would pick other Koreans' to push off top 9 seats. If nationality was not important why all the Korean trainees and the judges made it seem like last Korean trainee to perform was their last hope?

Watching this just makes me want to rewatch Youth With You season 3. Also... great job iqiyi, making me not subscribe for vip because of the lack of professionalism in episode 2 🙂

Lee Seung Gi has a nerve talking about performing 30 songs during the concerts when he is a ballad singer 🤡 Literally NOT ONE GROUP performs all dance tracks. The sets are ALWAYS prepared to make sure there are some songs to make the performance possible. You either mix slower songs between the dance track, you have unit and solo performances so other member can take a moment off the stage, you have taking bits when idols just talk to audience, video format breaks. NO ONE just dances non stop.

The production team should be crying and thanking god that nothing serious happened. I cannot comprehend how neglectful this shit was.

i want all the judges to dance the theme song 10 times in a row and them let the people evaluate them on that 10th attempt, coz I wam 100% sure they would not be as charming a they think they would be 🤣 Even during 2-3h long concert idols with years of experience hace, they do have breaks to rest - be it video format things prepared before the concert, well planned unit, duet and solo performances etc.

why the judges even there? I care about their opinion as experts, but when the format makes it impossible for them actually objectively judge the performance, I stop giving a shit about what they say and what they think ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
