    Stairs are literally my least favorite thing to encounter on a trail! Give me a slope (however steep) any day.

    Do you live in WA? I used to and really miss it!

    I wish all the trails were like that. It’a perfect for those of us who are really hopeless at this kind of mountain activities (specially when you have to go down hill).

    I laughed and said “ oh this country is really made of giant rocks” and it is, when you fly over Korea you see that all the mountains and hills are just so rocky it’s a wonder they can grow any food at all.

        I can’t easily give you the link, because dramabeans doesn’t like it. But if you google the well known site name +closing you will see lots of articles about it, and if you go through you will find the announcement. The announcement was made by the website, and includes five different websites, one of which is the one you mentioned.

      the one i found is starting to have multiple popups (thankfully blank ones for me) that are a nuisance, but one can still just close and close until they stop… however, Face Me ep 9 only has half the subs… *sighs*

      oh well, back to shopping online to spend more money to fill my days and nights…. gawd, will i have to have multiple subscriptions from now on??? GRRRRRRR.

        The thing is: so many have made that same gripe — they too, have multiple paid subscriptions YET those platforms don’t even have a fraction of what the foreclosed mothership had!

        Btw, I got the impression this closure thingy will take a while to come into effect

can someone tell me what this method of masonry is called and how it is accomplished? sample of wall in Bukchon neighborhood in Seoul… the bricks and stone are recessed in the grout.

    It’s stone masonry. But it Looks like the mud/clay is added as plaster and it’s done this wayinstead of flushing it with the stone. This would require more clay than regular stone wall.

      was hoping someone knew the korean term so i can look it up and try to find a video of them making one… how do they keep the plaster off the stones if applied after the stones are grouted/cemented into place?

      1

        From what I have seen in India, they wipe off any excess cement that is outside the joints.
        I would think it’s the same for clay. But here they definitely needed some edging to finish it so clean.
        A visit to Korean museum may be needed to understand how they did it back then.

          But I think the Korean term must have shown up when Spazmo searched by keywords “stone walls” or “rock walls”?

    What!! How can they do this. Arghhhhh. They could have started the drama in Jan. Why torture us like this. It’s already a pain waiting for one week.

Dear Hyeri, ep 7 – near the end, around 53 minutes… the ambient sounds become grating? traffic passing in the background (they are inside the apartment), footsteps exceptionally loud? wth.

    I’ll tell you what, though, the writing is amazing to be able to tell such complex stories of the characters and not lose anyone’s story to mass confusion.

    it seems like a popular show among koreans tho, and they are concentrating on people who have a great impact on followers. I don´t think it is so bad? as long as he is happy doing it.

    She’s a talented actress! I’m sure her script selecting ability will take her far. She kind of knows what is good. Every show she’s been in has been acclaimed. I can’t think of a show that was inherently bad.

    my husband once shaved (vertically) half his face to see if I and our daughter would notice. we didn’t!

    he forgot what he had done, and we were out shopping in Costco when people were giving him weird looks!

      Really, she is terrible to everybody, but especially to him, who is there for her and for everybody almost all the time, except the few hours he goes dancing.
      I don’t like that he fell for that weird scam with having to pay for having danced with that woman, though. He hadn’t done anything wrong, even if he might have complained sometimes, like you can do to a friend. They hadn’t kissed or even wiggled eyebrows suggestively.

        Yeah I don’t like the scam but here but maybe this will give him the chance to discover his hidden superpower? And yes Grandma is terrible to everyone but especially him! And he continues to address her as ‘yobo’ ugh

          You know, he doesn’t have the family super power DNA. It could be fun if the super powers were contagious. Da-hae seems to have some powers of seeing people around her and making them feel better. And the father seems to be very necessary in much the same way – he has the role of a traditional housewife with a terrible husband, the good side being caring for his family, the bad side being treated as a non-entity and accepting that.
          Some says there is something fishy about him, and what I see is that he has been fishy-fied by being treated as an annoying servant, always expected to be there when needed and be invisible and inaudible the rest of the time.
          It fits with the story-telling here that he would get into trouble before being seen, but I think I would like it to happen in some other way.
          … Or maybe not? To have stolen some happy time for himself without it being known or noted by anyone, and from that, too much trouble to arise and finally to be revealed to have done very little wrong, his pain and loneliness exposed, … that could be a way for him to end in a better position by the end of this drama. Right now, I just really dislike where his story is going.

          1
          2

          Also, he has been secretly bitter for some time. I would prefer for him to speak up a little more, to demand from Man-heum that he be treated better, not worse, than hired staff. But in relationships with a tilted power balance this can always be hard, and that goes for all housewives dependant on the man’s wages. If he (in this case, she) doesn’t see that they need to work emotionally and listenlingly to keep the relationship happy and equal, than the power will shift into a money/emotion exchange of power, and that is not good.
