Beanie level: Errand boy

@flyingcolours

Oh wow, thank you for the recommendation of A-sun, I am watching it now and I wish there was a recap, because there is so much depth in story and so many references which I don’t know.

    It’s a good one, isn’t it? I also had the same feeling, so I looked up some reviews and liked this one: https://www.cinemaescapist.com/2019/11/review-a-sun-taiwan-movie-2019/
    If you find anything interesting, please share it here on DB and tag me, I’ll be glad to read some more about this movie!

      I was definitely not prepared for the hand! And I was not prepared for after shower scene. I am still watching it, the movie flows, it is brilliant direction.

      I’ve seen a couple of movies by this director – Godspeed and GodPlus (as cinematographer). Both unforgettable with depth and staying long in mind. Will find the right time and mood to watch A Sun, perhaps Easter long weekend.

Here is my first post for Music March, because it is never going to be March on Feb 28 (leap year or not) and I will never be THE MAN (being a woman).

This song is a dedication to all my fav female characters from drama who received so much hate for NOT being THE MAN. Dedicated to my mom and my PhD advisor who received so much hate for NOT being THE MAN and to be who received a little less hate for NOT being THE MAN because my mom and my advisor (doc mom) worked very hard to make my world a lot nicer.

Are you all over some day one day?
Then next greatest Taiwanese drama(from the same writer)
THE WORLD BETWEEN US
I have to retroactively declare it the best 2019 drama!

    This is on my list for so long. Will watch after I’m done with SD1D. Jbtw if you’re on a T drama binge I’d yet again shamelessly would tell you to check out Yong Jiu grocery store as well. Will be somewhat relaxing after The world between us.

      I recommend The world between us Wapz, I think you’ll like it (but a tough watch though, so raw, it hurts)
      I posted about that show last year ^^

      Oppafangirl I didn’t know someday or one day was from the same writer, I’ll check it out later this year, thx for sharing

So beanies, tell me the most boring book you have ever read and which has the quality to make you fall asleep, not the frustrating kind? I need some help falling asleep.

    The lord of the rings. Boring, boring, boring. Lots of songs and indications rather than descriptions (“if you turn right… if you turn left….). The battles are interesting, but there aren’t many.

      I second this, it was a really tough book to read and the first time I got a migraine from reading!
      I would also put George R Martin’s A song of Fire and Ice books in that list. A Dance with Dragons was very lengthy and not a lot happened. I love the world these writers have built, but some chapters could have been condensed much further.

      I would recommend books by Jenny Colgan as she writes a lot of comforting stories and I think you will at least doze off dreaming about cake!

      I think I read Lord of the rings back when I was still in school and I remember liking it, not much but enough. It wasn’t easy but it wasn’t that hard either. I even felt a bit proud cause I thought I read it faster than I would expect to read a book like that. If anything I was up at night reading the books. I wonder how I would like them now.

    No joke…..50 Shades of Grey. It took all I could to get through it and it was just pride at that point.

    Read almost any book that you have already read a couple times, so it has no suspense or surprises.

ITAEWON CLASS, ep1 honestly I was waiting to be impressed but what I got was a chaebol induced sob story. I thought people by now know not to put their kids in school with Chaebol kids.

Some day or One day
The words that Yan Ru said to the world, I said them in the morning, reading the newspaper and then
I said them in afternoon when i was hurting from my back surgery and being all alone in my apartment and then when she said them I cried.
This show is fantasy but then it hurts me too much and then heals me. I love you show for understanding me.

P.S. But then on other days I love being alone. I love being here in my home.

    It’s amazing really. It’s fantasy with a touch of slice of life. I am reminded of Fruits Basket Watching this drama – it’s got fantasy element but the characters’ lives feel very real to me and I connect with them. I understand their emotions, their pain, their loneliness, their happiness

    Mo Jun Jie’s love for Chen Yun Ru is so melancholic. It makes sense he gradually lost interest in the new Chen Yun Ru because she wasn’t the same person he fell in love with. He knew she had changed. Seeing the new her doesn’t stir his feelings.

    I loved this quote MDL about Mo Jun Jie’s love for her.

    Every time I look at Mo Junjie, I feel his loss. He is the only person in the entire drama who truly misses Chen Yunru and likes her the way she is. He is also the first one to believe HYX that she is not CYR. While others are high-fiving HYX-CYR, he watches her with trouble eyes.

      “fantasy with a touch of slice of life” is the most apt way to explain this!

      I actually think CYR is really lucky to have Mo jun jie, he really loves her for who she is, no one can ask for more.

      4
      1

        @oppafangirl my thoughts exactly. Mo Jun Jie really grew on me, especially as it became obvious that he really valued CYR. In some places, I thought it was just because he found someone just as weird and lonely as him, but he was so respectful towards her and of course we like kindred spirits. Technically our two main leads are pretty similar in some aspects as well – like their confidence and their highly opinionated selves. Kindred spirits hold a natural level of comfort, and isn’t that what MJJ always seems to have wanted? Just normal, quiet, comfort. He found it in CYR – before it all changed.

        2
        1

          I wish there would be a way for them to be happy…… if that would take another timeline to happen, so be it. I just want the ones in this drama who felt so excluded from the world to be enveloped with so much love. Chen Yun Ru, Mo Jun Jie, Wang Quan Sheng of 2010. I love you all.

    I said it to myself everyday for 5 years.
    I never related more to CYR than in that scene.

I have spent the last one hour thinking about how i should watch the rest of episodes of some day or one day to minimise my wait for the last three episodes, only to conclude watch them as soon possible… It is too good… Going to start ep5 …

    I have episode 10 yet to watch and I’m working on the assumption that if I don’t watch it until episode 11 is available then I’ll be fine.

      I don’t know how will i survive waiting for last two episodes but my plan is to watch till ep11 on Sunday or Monday (i hope it will subbed by then)

          Just don’t go back to one where you watched the Heirs…
          I love the actress so much, i have seen her before but this must be her finest performance, also the male lead is so nice to watch.
          I will be back to say how I found rest of the episodes, but in all honesty I love the direction of the show, especially the elevator -birthday scene, also the coma scene was nice.

          3
          1

            Auugh the birthday montage is what I will always remember about this show. My heart broke into many pieces watching her in so much agony. The show really did a good job showing her grief – you were with her in every step of her emptiness.

            And Yknow in episode 2 – she scoffed and said she wouldn’t try that virtual reality device….. but then she went and used it just to see him one more time! She is just so sad to watch 😭

    It gets better. To me the reveal at episode 8 was the best of it yet. The main plot comes full circle on that episode. One bit I have a gripe but did not dampen my interest in the show.

        I love all the songs! The time travelling song (fingers on eyes), opening song (You’ll be back to me someday! One day!), and the ending song (the one part of the song is translated “would there be another dimension, another body, that can give us an alternate ending?” 😭) these songs are sooo fitting with the drama!

#Diary of a prosecutor 7
This episode deserves a 10/10 rating, they dealt with bullying very well, it\’s hard to accept our mistakes, but that the only way forward!
P.S. It is definitely way better than that high rating doctors show, but nobody ever said that popular things were good.

    The meta did make me laugh – that people don’t even watch dramas about prosecutors anymore, but they might watch ones about doctors.

JUST BETWEEN LOVERS Rewatch,
The first thing I realise is why the English title was RAIN or SHINE, and that was simply because the ice cream shop in the soon to fall down mall, in which they first met was called Rainy Shine.

Rant coming : Stove league: it is miserably written…
Okay if you like it and don\’t want to bother please move on to next post…
Salary negotiation part: it was horribly written.
Given that players have to apparently buy their own equipment, and then to evaluate them only on one seasons performance was such a good topic to be explored but the show just made a disaster out of it. This was a clear case of hero worshipping. Ian what ever the hero does, he is the one in the end to save the day all alone, just by revolting against the company. He doesn\’t want any humanist on the negotiation table but he in the end will turn out be the one who cares the most about everyone. Come on show, when people fight for negotiation of salary in case they pay for many personal equipments and treatment, there is a good deal of money involved which has to be paid, if they were all super rich and could live with sub par money they wouldn\’t even bother in first place.
The villian was their agent, who had no control over his own contract, what kind of agent was he is he did not put a backstop on negotiating without him? A pretty dumb one. You don\’t make a hero smart by making villians super stupid who can\’t even scheme well. Cutting away family support for players is also very big issue, players are also human and have family who will pay for it? How will they raise their kids?
Also the players who hired an agent must have a reason to do so than just they not liking the manager but in theend siding with him. If it was going to be this easy why even bother.
The only villian who was a bit on the smart side (only a bit) was the baseball player Lee gyu.
Every one else is so stupid that almost there is no conflict.
Then the case of hiring his own brother, that was like really really unprofessional. You have to disclose that information at the beginning of the interview not the end. And you for duck\’s sake have to leave the interview panel. This is like 101 but since he is the hero we are supposed to look over it and then feel unfair when he was fired for this reason, i mean why?? They would have hired the brother any way without him and they could still have the conversation with the brother at home, ah but then the already useless female lead would be even more useless.
Great! Well down show. Was this a story of underdogs, apparently winning over dumb people. Nice!
And the hero even manages to fool other managers without any consequences and they are holy saints and don\’t pull any underhand tricks on him, why? Don\’t they know if he can trade a player or not? Don\’t they do their own research, don\’t they have brains?

Now people, how do i write a resignation letter from this errand boy level post, even though i have removed JCW from my oppalist(for his dubious choice of dramas), he keeps on sending me on errands.
So my stats are as seen and how big numbers do i need to get rid of this slave errand boy contract?

        On average 3000++ comments (that means a lot of people would have a lot over 4000 as well ) when they changed level. She doesn’t contradict your stats.

          lol.. that’s not right..
          even 10K is more than 3K.. i can say that people would have had changed to levels..

          if it says 3K++ then that means close to that number

          0
          0

        I recently moved up and this was my stats. If you comment more on the db threads, you move up faster. So if 3k were comments mostly from db threads, you’ll level up. Now, I don’t visit db threads often and I hang around/comment more on the fanwall, so it took me 4,500+ comments to move up. I also think the number of likes is irrelevant. Snarky had 31k comments and she was still an errand boy until sometime last year.

My dad always loves Switzerland and e has watched so many movies shot there and then when we go and it’s not like that he complains so much, lol! Why is this not here, why is it not snowing? I have to keep on telling him that it was just a show not reality. Lol!

      On the other hand, you could go a bit up to the mountains and then there is snow. A lot of it.

        We did not expect any snow to be honest but we did get a lot of rain in the 4 days we were there!
