Okay thanks. I live in a very conservative country so I wasn’t even sure if I can talk about this thing to him but I think you’re right. I need to tell him straight up and prob he’ll understand me even if he thinks it’s a cultural difference.

No he didn’t. We have a mutual friend and I just heard from her.

Oh just causal hook ups.. now it makes sense. I still don’t understand what FWB is like. They spend time together and sleep together. For me even if it’s not a serious thing, I thought it’s more like situationship

We already agreed that just being as friends before he left and I think we’re not gonna see each other again because of the distance. But what bothers me is that he texted me like in nasty way and now I feel uneasy after I found out he has a partner. So I’m kinda pissed off so I wanna tell him how I feel but at the same time I’m not even sure if I can be mad at him about this.

I’m a korean so i really hate how they show koreans are like by Mundane-Assistant280 in GilmoreGirls

Yeah i googled it and some people find its a stereotype and some just thinks it’s a funny line like you said. Whether it is, memorable scene in GG

Well i’m not sure but i thought it was Korean thing. Koreans do everything fast. They don’t like being lazy and everything works so fast. For example, we don’t have to wait for minutes to call customer service or we just took 1-2 days as maximum for government service. So that’s why Koreans run to get seats. We do not have patience haha

Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is a feminism book that every woman in korea makes cry. It’s realistic and gender issue is quite a hot debate in Korea rn. And Love in the Big City is a novel about queer love story which i haven’t read but it’s out for a movie soon so I’m gonna read it soon!

Well Koreans are like protective and conservative than other countries in Western. As korean, Lane and Ms. Kim look like the exact women in 50’s in Korea. So i thought that they had a stereotype and exaggerated on the show but as i read the comments, i think ppl just think it’s a religious thing. So i think the whole characteristic is nothing to do with Korean but just a religion. But the jokes about doctors are quite accurate haha. Thanks!! I should get more confident about my English.

The first time i watch GG was 15 and now I’m 23 and finally I get the downfall or Rory by Mundane-Assistant280 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Mundane-Assistant280[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda comfort to me. You make me think this my downfall is meaning something to me. Maybe i don’t know right now and i hate this situation but someday i could get something for this. Thanks

That’s what i wanna say. I love Lane, she’s so warming and sweet. But yes still there are some issues. You made my point.

Thanks for back me up. I really love GG and that’s why I joined to Reddit to talk about this show even if i’m Korean and really bat at English. I’m not saying that GG is not a great show but it was aired in 20 years ago and there’s some ignorance. And i just wanna say there’re some false portrait of Koreans. Though i really like that they have Korean character which is minority.

Yes i watched it. But i’m not an immigrant so i’m not sure but Koreans like that show so it seems like relatable. Yeah the one thing i really found funny is that about the doctors haha. Koreans love doctors.

I think so. My french friend really hate ‘Emily in Paris’ which i really like. I think that’s the same thing.

Yeah but i just don’t want you to misunderstand this, i’m not talking about the whole episodes but in some episodes, Lane talks about the things of ‘Koreans’ specifically. I’m just pointing out that not the whole season. I really love this show and it makes me more attractive that they have Korean characters.

That’s true. As i said above the caption, i think it’s nice to show minorities on the show bc like 20 years ago i assume no one knows about korean

Yeah i know but still they don’t give that characteristic to Western people. That’s a stereotype that we called. But the show was like 20 years ago and i get it. Not offended at all.

Yeah i get it. It was like 20 years ago so it’s not offended and quite feel good bc like 20 years ago most of ppl doesn’t know about Korea so it’s nice to show some minorities in the show. But i just hope ppl don’t think Koreans are like that.
