    Oh, they like way too much their stairs in their trails… I thought I will die this Summer 😭

    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.

    This is like the burning of the Library of Alexandria, the Cultural Revolution, and Fahrenheit 451 all rolled into one. Millions of us use the site daily. DAILY. It’s a cultural repository of knowledge, especially the older shows that are so hard to get

      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?

        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.

    No, and I have been trying to find out for at least 15 years! It’s fascinating and I can’t figure out how they do it.

          Thank you, Mother Bean 🫶

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

    Didn’t they know beforehand? Isn’t this terrible timing for the momentum of a thriller? They could have delayed the premier for 3 weeks…

    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.
    And this is a thriller. Momemtum is key.

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.
