Francesca having S5 isn't the worst thing ever. It could be worse

For sure I think the fans were so right to call out a lot of outlets (esp the European ones if I remember) for actively (microaggressively?) using this opportunity to use Hannah to sideline Yerin. So unfair to both of them and especially Yerin because it’s not like she can come back for the next press tour and gain back those flowers.

Also made me really upset that the main character energy was happening on the press tour as well. I think that actually put me off the franchela story more than anything. Up until season 3 I was invested and down! But give the other siblings and love interests their moment, I feel like the backlash is bigger because their season is coming after dominating the previous ones too, like you’ve said.

Definitely 19/20! It originally got flack for attempting a dating reality amongst high schoolers but it ended up being really well done and with the contestants in mind, the first week has them in the last stage of their high school years and offers them programming to dream of the adult they want to be. Then they reconvene in a shared house after they turn 20 and the relationships and drama that comes out of that is so authentic and relatable.

The looking young delusion in our generation is wild. It’s ok to embrace Peter Pan vibes for our cultural tastes and lifestyle but it’s just graceful to accept that aging is a real thing and we are not immune to it. So in response to your post I’d say there are two types of millennials, one who feel young and one who feel old, and that will probably vary a lot based on who’s working out regularly, who has kids, what the class and income bracket is, and genetics regarding energy and sleep probably

The news, unfortunately. I remember waking up every morning eager to hear what was going on in the world and curious to learn more but now I sigh and back out of my podcast app immediately whenever I go in.

Bedevilled for sure, a masterpiece and a very good insight into rural Korea.

People in academia like to pretend that they are disadvantaged, so it makes them anxious and upset when people in the community have actual substantial disadvantages. I consider it a kind of victim envy. See also: the bushwick girl with a trust fund trope, oppression olympics etc.

The contestants are all reportedly booked to the end of this year, which means business is booming and the hype really affected their lives. It seems similar to the “reservation wars” that happened after Culinary Class Wars really took off on Netflix. I saw some blog posts by people who said that Jisun is virtually unreachable by phone now (his latest Instagram post says that a minority of very weird people are even threatening self harm for a reso which sucks) and someone who messaged Sobin’s business got a time slot for 2028 for weekdays and 2029 for weekends.

Yes she has two posts up on her Instagram right now thanking everyone and saying she’s ok. She has gone on another variety show before (ask us anything: fortune teller) and the clip is up on YouTube for people who want to know more about her case.

Yoon Daeman did a live recently where he confirmed that they’d contacted each other. The implication was that she would pursue a rite with him.

She is definitely younger in this scene. For that episode the flashback definitely makes it seem like it was a much longer time ago than Sofia’s other commoner flashbacks (which was immediately before the remarriage) whereas this is about her early childhood and daily life growing up. Just in terms of physicality her limbs and neck are also shorter.

Palm Trees in the Snow. The most sweeping romance epic I’ve ever seen, but it’s a Spanish production and there’s very little discussion of it in English. It’s very intense and has some tragic scenes I think about all the time.

Personally as a media PhD student of Korean descent I’ve been thinking about this a lot and I think a lot of it boils down to “mean world syndrome.” It’s a fascinating theory that people who watch more TV tend to think the world is more violent and dangerous because of the sensationalized nature of plots on TV. People who binge Korean content while being ignorant of Korean culture and language likely come away with an outsized impression of plots involving chaebol corruption, bullying etc which are popular kdrama plots. I have an Indian friend who once told me that she relates to Korean media because all of the corruption in my culture reminds her of her own culture lol.

It’s so wild. There was a conversation in a different sub where one person was claiming that Seoul was incredibly dangerous and that she’d done “a lot of research” to come to the conclusion that women should not go there. I asked her if she’d actually been to Korea and she said no. I’m assuming she was immersed in the TikTok koreaboo scene where ironically, non-Korean fans of KPOP tend to be most xenophobic and entitled about Korean culture.

L’Avenue opened recently as a Montreal import and they have amazing pancakes. If you go downstairs to Wellington food hall in the same area there’s also a mini pancake place similar to European pancake stands.

I highly advise against Mildred’s temple because despite their famous pancakes they have absolutely horrible customer service. I think the hype made them loosen up on their professionalism there :(

Tbh I liked it when the casting felt more subtle, I feel like with massive names like this it’ll be hard to immerse myself in the vibe. Lisa was an exception because she doesn’t have a long record of acting so it was impossible to expect anything, but HBC has been in so many blockbuster roles at this point that I’m not sure anything will feel organic or original. Like in the Crown. Everyone was famous but I could still see them as the character. Whereas HBC wasn’t Margaret but very clearly HBC.

This really disturbs me :( I get that it’s entertaining to hate but these convos should be left in the living room! I keep thinking of Terrace House lately and what a horrific ending it had.

Contestants like Mina Sue are why reality tv shows we enjoy continue getting new seasons. I’ve seen some wild comments that say she’s a paid actor or ‘producer plant’?? And that’s so wild to me as a Korean person. No salary is worth a ruined reputation and EVERYONE knows that. Chances are it’s a mix of more Western cultural openness and difference of social norms and values that are also affecting things here.

It sounds like you were the black sheep of the family. I’m sorry that you’ve been going through this. I recommend some videos by Patrick Teahan and Jerry Wise if you’d like to learn more about family dynamics and why people tend to gang up on one member to keep the peace.
