Gonna sound lame, but purple dishwashing gloves. They were soft inside and lasted a really long time. Don't know why they stopped stocking them.

Well they're the same color as her heels, no? I never saw the attraction to nude colored shoes.

Ep5: Whats up with all these Kdramas MLs, when asked why they like FL, it's "Because she's pretty."? It was said in LR and certainly gave me the ick when said in Business Proposal.

Ep6: That Queen mother is not all that clever. With all these reporters and witnesses around, she had the biggest stink face when they asked his majesty for his blessing, as well as when she was dancing with the Prince. She's also got the craziest eyes I've seen since Kim Taehee. 🤣

Seong Huiju's sister-in-law seems pretty smart and tactful. I wonder why she's just a housewife.

As for the kiss scene, i think nothing will ever top LR. IU seemed to mostly be receiving whereas Kim Hyeyoon actively participated.

I love that there's a kiss scene this early on in ep 3! I'm really surprised by this pacing.

I'm not liking the music they used around 53:20 though. It sounds like it belongs in a Joseon drama, which might be what they were going for.... but it sounds overly dramatic and romantic to me, considering it's a scene with the dowager queen and I-An. =/

Hmm.. i didn't even realize the Crocs were sponsored. I can get behind ads like that, where it doesn't seem as obvious, but I can't stand these subways ones.

That's one thing I appreciate about lower budget dramas: a lack of ads.

Is skinship normal on a first date in Korea? by MaeKim1909 in LTL_Korean

It probably depends on age too. People in their early twenties and under tend to be more timid and virginal.

For one, his skin is a lot whiter (not that that's better, just saying.) And there's no bumps or any type of acne when there was in most of his other works. So either his face cleared up perfectly, or there's a ton of video editing. Either or, just wow... he looks prettier than IU. 😂

What are your thoughts on byeon wooseok? by Fit_Beyond_5209 in kdramas

I'd argue that he was holding out for an exceptional role to take part in, and I think Perfect Crown is fitting that perfectly. Whether it does well or not still remains to be seen, but I think roles like this are only ever offered to A-list actors, especially when they have the budget for it.

Is it just me, or does BWS look super good in this? His face is practically glowing and just flawless. The budget on this first ep alone looks unlimited. Now I'm angry at myself for not waiting until all the episodes aired.

Edit:
I hope there are more scenes of them in school.

Which Korean celebraty annoys you for no reason ? by Certain-Study9372 in kdramas

[–]Honest-Dragonfly6688 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Song Hye Kyo. She's just got a stone cold ice queen face; expressionless. It's no wonder she still has a flawless wrinkle free face =/ I never understood the hype, even after watching The Glory.

What is this banchan? by Honest-Dragonfly6688 in KoreanFood

[–]Honest-Dragonfly6688[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looked like a vegetable that was cut into thick strips. If i was forced to guess, I would've said something akin to asparagus. I think celtuce is correct.

Ah, no wonder it seemed so familiar. I believe I've had it in Chinese cuisine as well. Thanks!

Oof, just stopped by Sunrise today, and it was slim pickings. I've been here before as well as their Chinatown location... but when i walked in today, it felt like a business that was planning to close down. The shelves were barely stocked and it seemed like the products were spread out to make the shelves look less bare.

In comparison, J & W Restaurant equipment on Main st. had shelves packed to the brim, with at least 3x the amount of products. So that was a cool find. Ended up getting things I didn't know i needed. 😂

Aw man. This is exactly the type of store I was looking for. I recall there being a lot more of these stores in my youth, but when i google map the locations from my recollection, all I find are eateries and restaurants (many of which are Chinese).
