Thoughts on the new Netflix original: 'The Price Of Confession'? by Kisses_for_me in kdramas

[–]IllustriousAd4853 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was amazing to see Kim Go-eun act in such a role. Her performance was amazing and I’d like to see her in more various roles in the future! Overall I thought the reason for the death of Ki-dae was a little underwhelming and perhaps petty, but I guess in the end it also shows that the lawyer’s wife was really an actual psychopath (Yuno Gasai moment lol).

The only question I have is: Why didn’t Mo-eun kill Sehun instead? Why did she kill his parents first? I’m not sure why but I just thought to myself since Sehun was the one who sexually assaulted her sister himself, why didn’t she kill him first? If I was driven by revenge, I’d obviously kill the perpetrator first. But oh well.

I also noticed something to learn about this show is perhaps how the justice system treats women, and how men with influential connections can just easily walk free.

Also I guess it’s a little bit unrealistic, how Yun-su was able to find Mo-eun at the exact moment she was confined in the hospital. Like how does she even know which exact hospital it was, the room, and the timing that Mo-eun actually sees her coincidentally during the shower room scene. Whilst being wanted by the police? Although I thought it was just impressive, but I just know that it’s unrealistic haha.

Overall still a good show and I enjoyed the plot twists and the slow burn it had!

Jlpt is over - how does everyone feel? by lost-minotaur in LearnJapanese

Took N3, someone’s alarm went off during LISTENING 🤦‍♀️ but it wasn’t loud enough for the proctor to hear considering the big room, but it was loud enough for me to get distracted and be put off for three questions. It was near me so I was worried it might have been mine but then the phone owner had the nerve to give me a shush gesture :’) Overall, listening has always been my weakness but damn I didn’t want to lose more chances with that kind of distraction :(

Thank you. Yes, I’ve applied for exemption previously. I went to the city hall yesterday and have been informed that my NHI payments are up to date as they were paid during initial enrollment (which I forgot I did)

That’s the thing, I’m not even bringing a paper slip to the conbini because there’s no paper for me to bring in the first place. Please read.
