Intending to become more of a digital minimalist.
Finished #AlwaysHome last night and it has such a lovely ending. It’s a wonderful youth cdrama through and through, but the end has each of the friends meeting again and watching a video of their past selves saying what they hope their future self is like, and their replies make it clear that

I’m at my most elitist when I go to the lounge at airports, I swear, and I’m never going back.
The plebs can fight for space at the gate while I chill with my free snacks and drinks. 😎🍷

I’m weaning myself off of my phone for the next few weeks, btw, so I’ll be dipping in and out. Hopefully I’ll catch some of y’all’s good convos but feel free to tag me if anything is going extra off the rails just so I can catch up on the fun nonsense

Most of the iconic military kdramas have been name-checked, so I will instead share a light-hearted but atmospheric Republican era drama, #ArsenalMilitaryAcademy, where Xu Kai & Bai Lu play amusing but courageous amateur soldiers who train together

Detective?
I was going to pick #SonSukku as a gum-chewing detective in #AKillerParadox, but I can’t pass up the opportunity to pick #SonSukku as Detective Mun in #Sense8 instead

Dancer?
The FL in #TwentyAgain dreamed of becoming a dancer before she got trapped in a marriage with a worthless pos. She goes back to school, rediscovers herself and her love for dancing, and finds people who lover her for HER and it’s beautiful.

1000% my favorite is the FLs attendant in #RomanceOfTigerAndRose. I would watch a full drama of the two of them in character just being bros and watching his antics

Fragility of the masculinity in South Korea that Apple couldn't even show the small pinching gesture for their new iPhone Air ads.

I am not a free speech absolutist. I actually think the US govt needs to focus on robust libel and slander laws, and that the governmental lack of action to curb hate speech/outright lies is a major part of what has fostered our current environment.

I’ve kept this image in my phone since I watched the episode of #ADreamWithinADream where the dad says it to his daughter
And I keep thinking back on it. It cuts through to the truth so succinctly
Particularly relevant today: it’s why you can’t “debate” someone who is coming in bad faith

I’ll pick Liu Yifei as Zhao Pan’er in the Song era historical drama #ADreamofSplendor
She’s not only a shrewd business woman & artisan, but a courageous defender of other women in need

This #dreamjobchallenge has been difficult for me since it’s supposed to be “favorite” but mostly I just have “comes to mind” answers. But today I have a favorite!

If you yall don’t know, Legend of the Condor Heroes has great audiobooks you can probably find on Libby! Highly recommend. Guo Jing is a perfect himbo, Lotus Huang is the best smarty pants FL, and the entire cast of characters is a genuine hoot
Anybody read any engrossing, silly, decidedly unserious books lately? Ideally with a great audiobook? Like a real solid mind-vacation-from-the-horrors read?

This has been well known for a while in my circles, but worth spreading far and wide. Just another reminder at how rigged the system is
Ghost jobs are a real danger for people living paycheck to paycheck. Someone teetering on the edge of poverty may spend precious hours, transportation money, and emotional energy applying to positions that don’t exist or are already filled.
More than 80% of recruiters admit to posting ‘ghost jobs’ to juice their talent pool and business reputation
Companies are trying to improve their reputation at the detriment of job-seekers.

CEO?
Early in my drama watching (before I even started on Kdramas) I saw #AaronYan as a CEO in #JustYou #FallInLoveWithMe and #RefreshMan in pretty quick succession so when I think of CEOs I truly can’t help but think of him.
(sadly, Aaron Yan has not made it through the zeitgeist 😔)

Yeah this was huge in 2020
FYI you can make a pretty decent facsimile by shaking a 3-in-1 packet in a water bottle with some ice. It whips it right up!

Dalgona coffee surged in popularity in Korea, inspired by a 1970s Korean candy and popularized as a playful whipped coffee trend. #KoreanFood #Trends #Foodie #Coffee #Dalgona #Candy #Kdrama #Kpop #Korea #Korean #Cafe #Globalization #Tasty #LearnKorean #KoreanCulture #KoreanTrend #Drinks

Sadly no streaming platform has the 2004 mini series Salem’s Lot starring Rob Lowe, Rutger Hauer, Donald Sutherland, James Cromwell, Dan Byrd and Andre Braugher
In my memory it was near-perfect, but I haven’t seen it since I ditched my recorded-from-TV vhs tapes and I don’t know if it holds up

Imagine: You’ve got access to all TV show/movie platforms and a weekend with nothing to do.
What are you watching?? Movies galore, that one show you’ve been putting off or rewatching one of your favs?? 🤔🤔

Hmmm I love #ChengYi enough to give this a shot, but his new drama #TheJourneyOfLegend (airs Tomorrow!!) seems a bit like Immortal Ascension’s “cultivate, take down foe, cultivate, take down bigger foe” story telling. Anyone have insight?

Chef?
He was a sous chef, but Cordon from #OhMyGhost really caught my eye and made me wish he was in the drama more. I rarely rarely get second lead syndrome, but the first time around I kind of did.

I was so worried that #ShadowLove would waste its premise and tamp down the potential for s-tier angst and I’m here to tell you that I was worried for nothing. This adaptation had gone leaps and bounds beyond its source material and I AM SO GLAD. Pausing on ep35 to sleep
