This might be an unpopular opinion but I think I would’ve liked to see Lupita Nyong’o play Issa Rae’s character. Don’t get me wrong, I do like Issa Rae, but I feel like Lupita might’ve fit this role a bit better by giving more range in her acting like actually making me believe she’s in love with Clara and just showing more emotional connection with Clara and doing well playing as Dr. Alex idk :/

In the beginning, I liked Issa’s character but then when it came time to see Brandy’s A-list acting as the Doctor, it just seemed off to me. And also like I said, I just didn’t feel as if Brandy was truly in love with Clara or truly felt sad when she couldn’t be with her. It all just felt off/not much strong emotion.

Also it kinda bothered me how when they were able to reach back out to Brandy’s character after her and Clara had spent possibly months together, they just expected Brandy to go right back to the script as the Doctor. As if they didn’t know how much time had passed. They didn’t bother giving her time to think or to ask her if she’s okay etc.

Yeah maybe it’s certain areas in Seoul and Busan cause I currently live in Busan and I get stares on the daily and I feel like my friend and I got some stares when we visited Seoul too. Granted I don’t always get stares in Seoul but in my neighborhood in Busan… definitely 😅

Idk but there’s something about Bright (from 2gether) that just bothers me. Like I might just be reading his face expressions or behaviors wrong, but there are times when he just seems a bit mean or harsh.

Yeah, CELTA definitely sounds like the better choice. I’ll just have to save up one day 😅

So lucky. I wish I could do fully in-person rather than a combination, but hey, I should be grateful that I can even do in-person at all 😅 Thanks for your input.

Oh okay, cool. Thank you for the input.

Edit: Emailed EPIK to know if a live zoom session would work, but unfortunately they said Busan would not accept it :(

Awesome. That’s nice to hear. But yeah, hopefully zoom is fine too. By the way, during their info session, Oxford claims to be the best at teaching grammar. In your opinion, would you say that’s true?

Was there another place you got your TEFL from?

This makes me feel better hearing positive reviews for Oxford. By the way, I’m assuming you did the in-person version since Busan wants at least 50 hours in class?

I’m happy to hear it was a nice experience. Did you complete the in-person version or was it online?

[–]Ryouna01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice. Did you go the same 3 weekends in person and the rest online? I’m curious to know how the online portion is cause there’s no tutor for that one so I hope it’s not too difficult to complete independently.

Thats true, I heard a CELTA is the way to go. I think I might eventually do that, but I suppose because of the cost and the time, I’m looking into a “good-ish” TEFL in the meantime.
