It’s Beautiful Now. Aspiring pâtissière Yoo-Na must have flunked Cookies 101. Tossing a lump of butter into the flour? Even beginning cookie bakers know you cream together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, and then stir in the flour and other dry ingredients.
This is why we have technical advisors.

    @dncingemma You’re down!?? I’ve not been over on the main site much today…what’s up? Surely the cells that are Yumi’s have helped? If not, what might?

      My dear Seon-ha: Thanks for your comment. Am just horrified and depressed at the atrocities going on while I’m watching KDs. Just feeling privileged, useless and despondent (not asking for sympathy as this is not about me and don’t want to turn it into that). Take care and have a lovely day.

Kdrama actors are masters of the technique of crying out of just one eye. I wonder if there are left-eye weepers and right-eye weepers, the way people can be either left-handed and right-handed.

    I’ve also wondered how they trained their tear ducts to just flow from 1 side.

    I came to the conclusion after similarly wondering that some crying scenes have been CGI’d as it is implausible that tears could fall so fast and in volume as in some absurd scenes. I wonder if the ‘one-eyed crying’ is a byproduct of that as maybe it is too expensive to do both eyes?

      Your comment made me laugh so hard it brought tears to my eye! 🥲

      It is no longer an assumption anymore. The editor of several great shows like FoS, My Mister, UTQU said so herself in her interview. I very much believe so. But in that same interview actress Song Yun Ah said that it wasn’t that easy to shed tears from both eyes. so glad they can CGI that part now.

        All the more reason to appreciate all the actors who were able to nail their crying scenes before the advent of CGI!

    I also noticed it, which takes me out of the moment because it makes me laugh at the fake tears.

    Crying can actually become a VERY controlled skill—down to the very moment a person wants their tear(s) to drop— as I have learned from watching too many bts clips of C-dramas and listening to C-actors and C-actresses talk and and share their thoughts as they are doing a run down-rehearsal of a scene or re-filming scenes (not because there was an NG in the first take, but because the actor/actress or director might want another take for one reason or another to make the scene better, for the emotions of a scene come out better)

The governor of New Jersey recently met with South Korea’s president and the mayor of Seoul. I was surprised to learn that my tiny home state has the 3rd-largest Korean population in America!

Fans attending STAYC’s concert in Dallas, Texas probably forgave the group for confusing Scotland’s Rangers Football Club with America’s Texas Rangers baseball team. 😂🤣 😂

    And the Rangers (the Texas ones) win the baseball World Series for the first time in the club’s 60+-year history!

Two of my favorite things: corgis and Kdramas!

    @babylilo May I respond here to your request for help on finding the new drama? Yes? Great!

    The scene is in a small auditorium where there’s some sort of vote about to happen that will affect the ML chaebol’s role in the company. At the last minute, his grandmother shows up to save the day. She’s dressed like Queen Elizabeth, complete with two corgis on a leash.

    First of all, I don’t think I’ve seen this drama myself—but never fear, I might still be able to help.

    Second of all, are you actually pulling my leg?? This sounds pretty far-fetched, even for a K-drama 🤣

      Nope, it’s for real. A real LOL moment for me! But I should clarify — she’s not wearing a crown and evening gown, but a sensible skirt-and-jacket suit topped with a hat, in the style typical of what you’d see Queen Elizabeth wearing during the day. I’m picturing a blue outfit, but I may be wrong.

        Loll. I’m lolling around with you 🙂

        Here’s an important clue for me: You say you started with thinking it was Unlock my/the Boss. Is that because you are remembering that this drama was from the past year? Can you locate the drama in time? I mean, like how old is it?

          It was a drama I watched fairly early in my Kdrama experience (maybe 2020 or 2021), and it wasn’t a new drama then. I’m positive this time that it’s not a sci-fi/fantasy drama!

          I looked through my watch history, and Protect the Boss is the only one that feels like a possibility. The grandmother I think used to run the company and comes back to assert her authority to help her favorite grandson. The actors involved (Ji Sung as the grandson and Kim Young-Ok as Grandma) seem right to me.

          It’s definitely not Unlock My Boss, which I haven’t watched.

          I’m not sure whether it’s from the same drama, but I recall the chaebol heir preparing to make a presentation in an auditorium showing off some kind of high-tech gadget enclosed in a lucite case. A sniper is somewhere in the balcony preparing to shoot him.

          Gah—I feel as if I should start taking notes while watching dramas, but that would spoil some of the pleasure of watching!
