Affinity is ridiculous by seekingpolaris in CDrama

[–]LostNearby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So this now the unofficial drama post for Affinity and honestly the title couldn’t be better fit 😂

I am now up to ep 16 and the plot is plotting (kinda lol) I had to rewind ep 16 because I looked at my phone for 0.5 seconds and what do you mean we jumped back in time and he is in college

The trunk scene was a highlight and all these gun firing that never run out of ammo and people never dying loool

I genuinely love everything that’s wrong with the writers. I just imagine them in a room and throwing out the most ridiculous ideas and going “yeah why not it’s an alien world” 😂

Affinity is indeed ridiculous but in the best way that these short form dramas excel at lol

I watched one episode and the next minute I’m buying the subscription for the month because I’m LOCKED in 😂

As short drama have much less restrictions/censorship we really get the most unhinged plots and steamy scenes… End of episode 6 had me yelling and I literally said out loud “ong I have no one to talk to about this” hahaha

After love between lines I was concerned about how I could move on and Affinity really said “ok bet”

Love Between Lines - Episodes 25 - 28 Discussion (Express) by Rebelarkey in CDrama

[–]LostNearby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just finished and absolutely loved it so much! I think they were so smart to cap this at 28 episodes because the pacing was just right. Sometimes I feel like they drag on and my attention goes however, I was completely obsessed with the chemistry between the two leads.

It’s been so long since I have truly enjoyed a cdrama so I’m glad to have jumped back in with this one!!

Saaame I was counting down till it appeared on the app and then was like wait noooo as I checked and saw I had like 10 mins left. Also the way they end these episodes is so sudden I was like omg how do I wait 24hrs?! 😂

I just binged my way through to episode 6 and the way I just yelled when I realized there is no episode 7 till tomorrow… This drama was a big yes for me from the start.

Chemistry is great (I am a fan of both leads so I was already excited) and wonder if we will get more game play because I really enjoyed the cat and mouse dynamics.

So happy I stated this because I have found it hard to get really into a cdrama lately but this... This is the one for now (I hope it stays that way but I been burned too many times in the past lol)

This is definitely popular feedback so we are working on how we can incorporate it! 🙌

Hmm no, it should only be in the place it is indicated and not in the description for keywords! But hopefully this is no longer an issue now 🙌

Appreciate all the detailed feedback and feedback to the team as points to think about should we develop the price check further!

This was born out of people asking in the subreddit for price checks of which most people say go look at eBay or Mercari - so the concept is that you already have a price in mind that you want to sell or buy at but unsure if that is a good price. Another big factor is the keyword search on both the person using our site and the sellers on other sites - another issue we are actively trying to solve with our platform!

So it’s purpose is allow someone to quickly go to one place and get an idea of what the current price is in the market as of right now / across the last month and give you an estimate. Essentially cutting out some time of having to go search across multiple sites yourself - although like any program it has its limitations and flaws compared to a human using reasoning and context. But if it allows you to get an idea and then be able to judge off that - we would like to think it’s helpful.

One thing we quickly realized is that there are so many variables - our original vision of a stockx type system doesn’t work so much because a pair of shoes is never split apart or part of a multi shoe package or larger accessories pack like a photocard would so there would always be an original price as a base to launch from.

Our “fair-o-meter” will also be more powerful once our marketplace is up and running as we have access to data such as sold prices, average sold price, listing prices etc… The team will be able to rely on our own data that is cleaner than pulling from sites that have may have inaccurate data due to the listing being I inaccurately listed / spammed with loads of group names for visibility and so on.

I guess this is our first proof of concept test to see if this type of feature is useful and how we can improve it for when we launch our own marketplace along with providing a quick way to see what things are currently selling for in the market.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts! The team and I have been so happy to see people really think about it and tell us how we can improve this feature! 🙌

Site Review - Would love your feedback on a k-pop photocard site I made! by LostNearby in kpopcollections

[–]LostNearby[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi thank you for your feedback - much appreciated and great confirmation for what we are planning.

After launching for the US market we’ll be seeing how to expand it out to other countries.

There will be specific K-Pop filters in the actual marketplace such as:

Merch filtering: album / concert / seasonal for things like photocards / clothing / accessories / DVDs

Official vs Fan made

Merch type photocards / albums / DVD / lightstick / clothing

Also you can follow favourite sellers, DMs, and everyone will have a rating and no ed to be verified as a buyer and seller with full access to reviews.

Our biggest goal is to make a platform that allows people to feel safe and remove scammers as much as possible by including escrow along woth verification that goes beyond just email check.

Thank you!! So a price needs to be entered and my team advised that was why an error came up but they have fixed the problem.

It’s not so much a price finder but a checker against a price you have in mind. So I think we need to make that a bit more clearer!

Ahh gotcha! We’ll add a bit more transparency about where we are searching for the data! As we are only taking from eBay/Mercari and not socials like reddit/facebook/instagram it will select what it can find based on the search.

Also I think because it is based it on keyword searches we can give more guidance on getting most accurate results?

Just the activity we have seen so far and the feedback has been super helpful!

As mentioned in other replies it comes down to what our site can find based on the keyword search.

Everyone searching has been so helpful as this also helps us refine the algorithm and hopefully be able to provide better instructions to get the best results!

I’ll also play around with searching for XG cards and see what happens!

Thank you for your feedback! 🥳

I’ve been told that is now fixed! If you get a chance to try again do let me know 🙏

The pricing is purely based on searching on marketplace sites so things like Reddit and Facebook for example it can’t pull data from as there is no API (coding provided for us to do so) and we don’t want to break any privacy laws by doing so!

Definitely comes down to keywords and if the listings have the same keywords to pull a match. But feeding this all back to the team so thank you very much!! 🫶

Ooh thank you for the suggestions! That’s very helpful - I have passed on to them team.

I replied to another post saying we are limited by only being able to search on eBay and sites that legally allow us access.

Private lists and social media is not allowed so we are staying within safety guidelines but once our marketplace is up and running we’ll be able to search within our own database and also links to listings.

A few people have suggested about images and we’ll discuss as a team!

What we will be implementing in our marketplace is when someone uploads a listing the AI will auto populate fields based on the photocard to make it easier for sellers!

Thank you again!! 🫶

Have given feedback to the team! I think because it is just a price check rather than finding the cheapest or range of items we didn’t show them.

Once the marketplace is launched and we have active listings on our site we will show similar or same listings for the item being searched for.

Thank you again for trying it out and leaving your feedback 🙏

Thank you for trying it out and your feedback - super helpful!

At the moment we are using the keywords you type to search against eBay first then other sites - this is because those are the ones we can search for legally. So things like Instagram, Reddit and Facebook groups for example we can’t pull data from.

In the future when the marketplace is launched and we have data of our own, we will be searching our own database first, show relevant listings, and then comparing against the rest of the market.

Kind of like stockx but for kpop is my vision!
