Thank you so much for publishing my piece!

Congratulations on getting published!

Congrats!
And I liked 12 nights 🙂

Thank you @cloggie! This is the reason I try not to become attached to the awesome silver haired women on my screen. Far too often their lives are ended to provide drama or move a couple closer together. The curling grandma in Matrimonial Chaos and the photographer from Twelve Nights did keep me on the edge of my seat (due to the fear that they might die) and were two of my favorite secondary characters.

@cloggie , congrats
Wooohooo it got published 💚💜💛♥️💚💜💛♥️

Awwww I loved this! I'm so happy it got published! Two thumbs up!

That halmoni in the Twelve Nights pic, I don't know the actress's name, but doesn't she always have a very special aura in every role she plays?? Even when it is a very short and straightforward role she exudes an ethereal energy that always captivates me.

Yay, @cloggie, it got published! I loved it when it was on the fanwall and rereading it the second time made me love your piece even more!

Now it's an officially great DB piece. I keep saying I need to go back to Twelve Nights because I think I stopped watching when she collapsed.

Also, never trust Viki ratings. Honestly, I can't think of any ratings I trust beyond some trusted Beanies who I know have the same tastes as I do, or I know we have the absolute opposite taste.

Congrats! I liked it very much!

Love this. If I ever find myself without a partner, I would try the life of a singleton, not because I hated being married, but the freedom of what @cloggie speaks is the stuff of dreams for me. Thanks, cool and artistic Cloggie, you are my hero!

Thoroughly enjoyed reading your article, congrats on getting it published. Need more dramas with Ye Soo Jung!

@cloggie this may very well be my favorite thing on the internet right now 😍🤩 i wanted to cut and paste my favorite parts here but that ended up being basically all of it. “invisibility” was always something i feared as i started getting older, and i appreciate so very much the twist you put on it—particularly the freedom it affords and the variety of perspective it enables. your words and message are comforting and encouraging to read. i’m bookmarking this. i know i’ll want to reread it many times more. thank you so so much.

"I would like to point out that a quick chicken-bone death would be preferable over having to spend decades with some of the male characters that dramas like to serve up."

I'm 57, and this was awesome. So true.

I've been happily married for 37 years, but my husband also travels for work from time to time. Sometimes I join him. Sometimes we move to another country together. Sometimes I let him go by himself for a few weeks (sometimes I don't have a choice, depending on the job). I miss him when he's gone but at the same time I enjoy my time alone doing my things.

I dropped 12 nights because of the irksome draggie romance, but I *adored* the photographer character so, so much. I think I may pick it up again and recalibrate my viewing filter to 'Making Your Art.' Thanks for that perspective. And he's travelling again right now, so it's a great time to pick it back up!

Invisible or expendable. It's a problem.
If they're ever powerful, they're witches. Or evil. Or evil witches.
But you've made me put 12 Nights further up my list.
Congrats on being published.

Congratulations @cloggie from another TWELVE NIGHTS fan on being published. Bravo! I fondly recall sharing comments with you during its run. There were wonderful performances in that drama but like you I thought Ye Soo-jung as Photographer Lee Ri was outstanding.
What an interesting career she is having. From the little I can find out it seems her first movie credit is around age 46 and her first TV drama credit is around age 51.
Oftentimes I have seen YSJ where she is playing the older mom or grandma so when she showed up in TWELVE NIGHTS as a rather sexy professional photographer on her way to the Serengeti I thought, "wow". In a way she was cast against type. I hope she continues to get offers for these type of roles.
Also, o/t but there is a scene in SUITS where YSJ (once again playing grandma) is visited in a hospital or rehab type place late at night by her favorite grandson Yeon-woo played by Park Hyung-sik. After grandma falls asleep, grandson (PHS), needing a place to crash for the night, snuggles up (on top of the blanket) with grandma in her hospital bed. My first thought after thinking, "what the hey?" was
"I wonder how many texts YSJ got the following morning after that episode aired. Lol. PHS and YSJ really looked liked they enjoyed their scenes together in SUITS.
