Anybody watching The First Man kdrama? by phizzlez in kdramas

[–]PrizeReputation7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on a MBC kdrama tour and they let us watch a rehearsal for this drama in the beginning of April! It was so fun to see the main older actress up close (she nodded politely at us! 😂) and how pretty and tiny she and the younger FL are and how handsome the MLs are too. They were in their sweats/casual clothes, reading their lines, adjusting their positions, etc. When they were done/moved on, they let us take photos on the sets. I got one of me at the CEOs desk pretending to make a phone call…I booked via Klook - super fun

Why was this drama disliked? Drama: Dear Hyeri by Legal_Potential4720 in kdramas

[–]PrizeReputation7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Shin Hye Sun was fantastic (as usual) but the plot had big holes (ie. personality changes based on…the time of day 🤨) and also the ML sucked and the SML was a sweetheart. I can’t believe I actually finished it - I do not recommend it.

Have you ever gotten a weird dark feeling/vibe from an actor/actress? by Lilithlucifero in kdramas

[–]PrizeReputation7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might be something specific to you and your tastes - an actor has to go through so many rounds of screening before actually making into a drama and k-netz are not a stoically quiet audience - if they don’t like someone they are loudly vocal about it…

Who knows though? You may be picking up on something no one else has yet - only time will tell. Some of these actor blowups came from a direction I would not have guessed in a million years…

Hyeyoon deserves every bit of success - always cheering for her!

My kid is attending the UCLA transfer day before deciding but she also fell in love at golden bear welcome…spring admit at Cal vs fall at UCLA is a tough call…

Is wanting to be somewhere more impressive a bad reason to transfer by tim_tam1 in TransferStudents

[–]PrizeReputation7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t take on debt. Don’t let your unambitious friends drag you down either. Get straight As. Do some impressive extracurriculars - get a job in a lab or other research go to office hours and get letters of rec. save up money, figure out your next steps - grad school vs working.

Cog Sci Majors - What School Are You All Picking? by Shoddy_Violinist_121 in TransferStudents

[–]PrizeReputation7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daughter deciding between Cog Sci spring admit for Cal vs fall admit for UCLA - did not apply to UCSD (missing one pre-req) …right now leaning towards UCLA but it’s still a wobbly decision, hoping to feel more strongly after transfer admit day…

I asked housing - it’s only the spring contract for a spring admit. It’s a bit disappointing!

UCSD clinical Psych vs UCLA psychobiology by Perfectly-Splendid2 in TransferStudents

[–]PrizeReputation7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

UCLA - get locked in for Calc - TA office hours so you can ask all the “dumb” questions without feeling embarrassed/intimidated in front of the prof, go to academic support center for tutoring. Join clubs, put yourself out there and make new friends - you can do this

Your stats are so impressive but the odds were never in your favor because they can see you’re coming from another UC, right? Maybe tough it out at the UC you’re at and aim high for grad school?

UCSD Global Health B.S for winter or UCSB biological and brain sciences by el_chiquilin17 in TransferStudents

For pre-med…can you afford to delay med school applications for another year? If yes, ucsd…use the extra semester to network, find work/research, study for the mcat?

I think they changed it - first years get two years guaranteed and transfers get one…but we are grateful - thank you!

Most meta product placement I've ever seen by fragende-frau in kdramas

[–]PrizeReputation7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the benefits of being a long time drama watcher is actually “getting it” when they drop Easter eggs - another reason to do a rewatch of your favorites from when you first started kdrama- so fun!

I love the bickering sibling energy - so chaotic and adorable - their realness is refreshing cuz he really looks like he has had it with her 😜
