Saw it people doing this so figured I’d give it a try too.
Minion Questionnaire: Beanie Edition
Q1. Explain your username (and/or avatar).
— @maybemaknae – my username. At the time I joined db I thought maknae meant least experienced, not youngest, & I from my observations everyone else seemed to be a long long time kdrama watcher in comparison so I thought maknae would be appropriate.
__Alas now I know it’s an age term & not a seniority (or lack thereof) in experience term 😅😆
avatar – the masked mysterious guy from Trashdal. He was leaps & bounds ahead with guarding against the coronavirus. Yes that’s my story & I’m sticking to it. Ofc it had nothing to do with my weakness for dark, taciturn & mysterious pretty bois *hides*
Q2. What is the first drama that you watched (or the first drama that made an impression)?
— DOTS.
Q3. Tell us about a job or two that you’ve had in the past.
— Translator
Q4. Have you ever lived a moment that you thought belonged in a drama?
— Yes, strangely many.
a) A boy Best friend with the crush,
b) A girl best friend who was like a soul sister & saying the exact same things at the same time & finishing off each others sentences
c) Hate to love moment with my first crush
d) Confessing via a letter & being rejected in a secretive but public manner with a note
e) leaning over a classmate/friend with our bodies & heads over each other & ensuing awkwardness when we realized our attraction & comfort with each other ; then looking away
Q5. What drama genres do you especially like?
— Romance, fantasy, thrillers, mystery, time travel.
Q6. What drama genres do you especially dislike?
— bullying & rape. They make me very emotional. I can take them in small doses but not over & over again.
— Candy cute shoujo type stuff. Reason why I’ve never seen Hana Yori Dango/BOF or any Itzura na kiss adaptations
Q7. Is there a drama character you’ve ever strongly identified with, and why?
— Hmmm 🤔 Recently Hae Won from LAND aka ‘When The Weather Is Fine’.
The whole when you say it was a misunderstanding instead of saying sorry you’re trivialising what you did & putting them onus on the victim for getting hurt. It’s underhanded & a subtle kind of manipulation that makes it feel like you have no right to your feelings. I have the right to feel the way I want & decide who to forgive in what manner & when, if ever.
Q11. Which Hallyu celebrity would you actually want to meet and spend an hour with?
— [My first response was nobody, because I don’t want to spoil my fantasies & the relief that escapism brings me by it intruding on reality.
My second thoughts are artists I like & language communication probs 😪
My 3rd thought is f*ck it, go delulu 😬😜]
— Dean : I’d love to pick his brain about music he likes. I also just want to stare at his face in the height of summer so he’s not clad in his winter layered style clothes 😅
— Crush. His music has been a great comfort to me. I’d love to thank him & share how his simple words have brought solace to me. 🙂
— Jackson : He looks like he’d be great fun to hang out with, plus no language problems 🤭
— Eric Nam. From life to music to chill as a person, I’m a huge fan & his life trajectory gives me a lil something to relate to.
— Stella Jang. She’s awesome & multilingual & I just want to be in her presence. 😍
— Actors wise Yoo Yeon Seok & Seo Hyun Jin
— a date & dance with Jaehyun of NCT or Inseong of SF9
Q12. Your favorite drama has an unholy alliance with your most hated drama and produces a mutant baby drama. Describe the plot.
— A germophobe bestseller writer in a slump meets a new ditzy curly haired hire at his publishing company while waiting for an interview who . It turns out she was his childhood rescuer & friend against thunder which was due to a past life connection where they both were revolutionaries against Japanese occupation. In that lifetime she died under torture on thunderstorm ⛈ day. Now she’s plagued with memories of her past lifetime, & the phantom trauma & nightmares combined with reversal of her family’s fortune in current time means she’s a frazzled incompetent employee who keeps stalking & following & messing with the life of of the writer ML.
Together they’re a disaster tempting fate – he’s a jerk & she’s a candy stalker. Eventually their misgivings towards each other are resolved when the FL finds him two ghostwriters – a chic sly fashionable female (who is her bff, & whose mom is a shaman) & a past recounting visible only to them ghost.
The shaman mom is against all the leads meeting each other & living another tragic lifetime together because she knows of another lifetime thousands of years ago where the FL was a fox goddess on a mortal trial & had her eyes taken away from her as punishment by the crown prince god ML, while the concubine who framed the FL when found out was sent away to East sea to guard a demon, but the King God had pity on her & put into a cryogenic sleep for her to wake thousands of years later as the daughter of the water snake that renegaded on her duties ; whose task now is to take care of both women as their guardian.
The mom runs a moon hotel for all the ghosts & acts as their problem solver, to urge them towards reincarnation or Nirvana.
So anyways with past life memories & ghosts wreaking havoc & the publishing company about to go under, the 4 unlikely people figure out ways of past to keep present afloat.
The FL solves the guys germophobia & complex family problems & together all 4 write a book & record the progress & life as a documentary, which wins the FL a best newcomer award, & the guy another record breaking bestseller & literary prize.
Finally the 2nd lead can let go of the 2nd FL to afterlife after being her human problem solver & financial manager, so that she can move on from her first crush of 20th century, on whom she fell & had her first kiss in school , confessing as a bimbo & being rejected & humiliated publicly… Then nearly dying in a house fire & bonding in the aftermath but ultimately falling near death after a rejection & being put under cryogenic sleep again for hope for a better life in 21st century by the mom.
The shaman mom having fulfilled her duties, now all former ghosts leave the hotel & die or whatever & the writer + not candy couple live mundanely happy ever after.
Ooof. Did I forget to mention that? Yes ofc it’s the one by almighty Queen of Melonia Sicarius. The flower crown inspired from his crush was a lovely touch.
