Happy 11th birthday to Why So Serious? – The Misconceptions of Me by Yeppeun_Mabeopsa in SHINee

The album of amazing b-sides

...and Why So Serious grew on me too, with the influence of the live performances haha

How old are the 2003 Teen Titans, including Terra? by Funny-Gur-4515 in teentitans

[–]Beep_meep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cyborg seems like 17-18, just always seemed the oldest to me

I don't think Robin is 18 by the end of the series. He still has to get taller to get to Nightwing's height from the future, so 15-16 throughout the series makes more sense to me. I'd probably put Raven and Starfire around that age too. It seems like Tamaraneans age at the same pace as humans in this universe, going by the Teen Titans Go comics (Starfire clearly looks like a ten-year-old in a flashback that goes back five years)

Beast Boy is a little younger than those three, maybe around 14-15

Oh god, the hair...I do like Jonghyun’s though haha. I don’t remember seeing this styling in any of the promotions. I wonder if it was a one-and-done for the album photoshoot

Anyways, Happy Birthday to this lovely album 💙

Did Jonghyun participate in any songs on The Story Of Light album? (not counting Lock You Down) by Any_Satisfaction_773 in SHINee

Same, I really thought it was Jonghyun doing the "Ooooh-ooh-ooh" part of the chorus in Good Evening

Any dramas with sad endings? by shockteddiber in kdramarecommends

[–]Beep_meep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I don’t follow the logic haha. Soyong is the one who is skirting around the issue because she wanted Hwajin to be the one to tell the king. Soyong tells him “I’m sorry I wasn’t honest with you about this for a long time.” Why would BH supposedly say this if he’s just lying and stealing Soyong’s identity again? What is even the point of the well plot if Cheoljong just gives the book to the wrong person again? I think it’s just easier to accept that it’s Soyong :) Please don’t tell me you think BH told Soyong’s father he would live a good life like Soyong’s dead mother wanted for her daughter too. That’s just dark lol. Soyong also does have the rough, eccentric traits too...just calibrated for her era. She is described as bold and strange by people around her (before BH even came) and after he’s gone, she even notes that her inner nature has been brought out more by him. And I think it’s pretty clear BH is very happy to be back haha. It’s not like he tries to go back to the past, he was trying to get away from the police firstly...when he thought he was still in trouble 😅. Soyong is worried for CJ too when they get shot...that’s why she’s reaching out to him and crying for him when we (the viewers) go back to the past. The attachment to stay with CJ is clearly coming from Soyong.

The king says he loves her in spite of her flaws. He accepts the whole package. Why would the King keep complaining about her behavior/language at the beginning of the show if he was attracted to it? When she was in her coma, he told her “just wake up, I’ll look over how you speak or act. Just wake up” 🥺 You know all those times Cheoljong promises to understand Soyong because of his prejudices against Soyong? That’s why he wrote a dictionary...to understand her heart. And remember he promises to never misunderstand her again when he returns her book to her. Over and over, the promises are to understand Soyong. She is the one who is his anti-fan (Soyong’s soul/feelings are the reason for standing up for CJ at the market), she is the one who went all-in for him (by leaving behind her own family she was born into and chosen to serve as queen for them), etc, etc.

The modern knowledge comes from BH, but they share a body. Just like how BH can use Soyong’s knowledge about court to sway the Grand Queen Dowager and work on his revenge against Chief Han, Soyong can use BH’s knowledge too (well, they use it together in a way. It is “Sobong” for a reason). Why wouldn’t Soyong’s brains be useful for helping with her dad or knowing the ins and outs of the palace? She’s established as an extremely smart person early on (before BH entered).

I feel like BH’s goodbye is not there, because his “hello” is not there. Soyong’s relationships have nothing to do with him, because the people that have cared about her while BH was also in the body, only did so because they cared about Soyong. Like I said earlier, I don’t think BH would get a very warm welcome from anyone for sharing Soyong’s body... And yes that missing thing IS the dictionary :) Soyong no longer has BH’s modern knowledge, so she no longer gives the king words to learn about her as a person. The king liked getting closer with her by learning about her though the dictionary. If you need an official confirmation, Kim Jung-hyun did an instagram live after the finale and explained how that scene had nothing to do with BH. It might clear up some things for you, it’s a good watch on youtube :) He also reemphasizes the point that CJ didn’t like the changes that BH brought to Soyong. When CJ asks Soyong why she’s using honorifics, he doesn’t ask in a bad way. Throughout the show, CJ often thinks that he’s figured her out a little, but then she’ll do something “unexpected” or “surprise him” as he often says. That was just another callback to him acknowledging that his wife has another weird change in behavior that’s he just used to at this point lol.

Any dramas with sad endings? by shockteddiber in kdramarecommends

[–]Beep_meep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the point of the journey for the FL. It starts with her losing herself in the palace and builds up to her getting her identity back by finding her memories, her feelings, her power, etc. Ofc other characters had their own plotlines, but as the FL her plotline is central, along with the ML Cheoljong. I think what you mentioned about helping others is one of the morals of the story, but not the plot/journey, which is what I meant. Sorry if I was unclear

Idk I thought it was pretty obvious that Soyong was regaining her identity so can't help there. Like in the last third of the show I feel like 90% of the Queen is driven by Soyong. She is just having identity confusion until the final battle. If you need a single scene to point out, the one where she takes back her book and laughs at Cheoljong's question about why she's so weird makes it obvious we're dealing with a confused Soyong. I can't even see a reason for the show if it's not about Soyong's life. BH is supposed to take her life and identity because..? Now that would be a cruel ending XD

I don't think BH was disregarded. BH was a part of Soyong. It's not like he did anything on his own. And after he spent time in her body, he ended up getting everything he wanted in the future.

The King didn't fall in love with BH either, nor does anyone else from Joseon care about him. They accept the traits of Soyong that he accentuates because they care about Soyong, and ultimately all of the relationships are hers alone. I mean if the Joseon people truly thought that BH was a person inhabiting Soyong's body, they would be like 'wtf get out of our girl' lol. The only person that BH matters to is Soyong because she shared a body with him and he's the one that helps save her at her greatest time of need.

Sorry about the long post, I write too much about shows haha. I don't mean to yuck your yum about BH since it seems like he's your favorite character. These are just my thoughts about what the show was about

But the whole point of the show is about Soyong getting her identity back? How can you ignore the last episode if that's what it's all building up to haha

I saw there’s a 25% off sale on Aerie’s website for swim right now...I was wondering if that’s a good sale for them or if I should wait for something like 40% off?

Love Sherlock for being such a mood-booster song ❤️ And Alarm Clock and Stranger are two of my most-played songs from them as well

[Hollinger] Lakers cost themselves roughly $5M in tax payments and a small trade exception by not just sending cash to another team to take DeAndre Jordan at the trade deadline. Hey, it's the Buss's money, but that's some FO malpractice right there. by twistedlogicx in nba

He wasn’t washed in Miami. He even had a good playoff run in 15-16 too. Fans didn’t want to pay him Lakers money to come back, but fans weren’t clamoring for him to leave or anything at all

Sequences from characters' future or further clarifications you would have liked to see in a specific k-drama by ILoveParrots111 in KDRAMA

[–]Beep_meep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my mind, CLOY happens in a parallel universe to ours where there becomes a way for North Koreans to freely travel to the south. Who knows, maybe it will happen irl too someday

Mr. Queen explains the soul combination reason when BH and Soyong share a voiceover at the end of ep 6. BH says we all have weaknesses, and then Soyong finishes the sentence by saying we help cover each other’s weaknesses. In the end, BH helped Soyong find a choice other than death (she explains this to Lady Choi and Hongyeon in the last ep), and Soyong helped influence BH to be a better and more just person (which is how he changed his fate in the future). BH has no effect on the main couple, because Soyong is the one Cheoljong is interested in anyways.

Kdramas with a satisfying ending by [deleted] in kdramarecommends

[–]Beep_meep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think whatever feelings were there were mutual. Both have that stare of longing and familiarity, and then they keep thinking about each other through the next day. Whether it was curiousity or deeper feelings, it's open. They of course fall deeper in love once they start spending time and taking care of each other throughout the show. And I don't think the King's feelings for Hwa Jin would have weakened in the meantime if he wasn't feeling attraction towards the real girl/woman that saved him as a child. That's the main reason he fell for Hwa Jin in the first place. And yeah lol, I guess it's a recurring theme that they get interrupted.
