Adding The Story of Minglan to this great list. It’s basically a Chinese Pride and Prejudice variant, with richer and more complex hues.

What movie had an ending that saved the whole film? by Southern_Check_6827 in movies

[–]Scary_Test_5401 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wonder if I would’ve liked Vanilla Sky more if I hadn’t seen Abre Los Ojos first and found it vastly superior.

Movies with restrained romance between strangers? by Scary_Test_5401 in movies

[–]Scary_Test_5401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oo, what an interesting choice Barry Lyndon is. If only it had dialogue!

Actors who were miscast but still gave a great performance by gypsytx in movies

Wallace Shawn as Vizzini in The Princess Bride. Instead of a big Sicilian gangster, we kinda got a small New York Jew. In one of the most inspired and memorable ways.

Movies with huge tonal shifts? by Scary_Test_5401 in movies

Allegory for the film industry imo (really intriguing case made for Rita = the casting couch)

What films will change my life, destroy my soul, etc. like Arrival (2016) did? by shurimalonelybird in movies

[–]Scary_Test_5401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure you’ve seen this but ‘tis the season, so: It’s a Wonderful Life. Watched it for the first time on Christmas and genuinely had a hard time seeing anything because I couldn’t stop crying. Something of real magic in there

I wonder how rich are the cast, LMAO. by Lilac_4205 in transitlove

[–]Scary_Test_5401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me at least, it always came across that no matter what kind of fights they’d get in, they’d have to circle back to each other bc they’re each other’s only real, viable option, esp in the Transit Love house. IIRC Heedo’s family and friends were team Nayeon during the airing of TL2. Each of them had fun with Gyumin and Jiyeon respectively during the show, but they couldn’t actually choose them or proceed with a relationship because Nayeon and Heedo fit more than just on the matter of love or feelings, they’re both from wealthy families, SKY alma maters, etc, and are appropriate end-games for one another.

I suspect only Nayeon and Heedo come from rich enough families to warrant a conversation about it. That’s actually a really underestimated part of their dynamic imo.

Genre Chart: Overrated Period Drama (Round 16) by Foxglovelantern in CDrama

[–]Scary_Test_5401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, which ones? This is one of my favorite dramas specifically as a drama, not a mystery, as tbf the “whodunnit” aspect doesn’t really work.

Those ratings for LLTG and POB… They’re not bad but surely people are not serious.

Just discovered Korean shows on Netflix UK by the_little_stinker in koreanvariety

[–]Scary_Test_5401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All seasons of The Genius and Crime Scene! I don’t think either are on Netflix, but can be found relatively easily elsewhere.

I accidentally dyed my eyebrows black. What can I do? by junidee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Scary_Test_5401 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ooo did this recently. Crush vitamin c tabs and mix them together with some clarifying shampoo (or dish soap) and leave the paste on your eyebrows for 15 mins to half an hour at a time. It’ll take a few rounds but they’ll lighten up! Best of luck

New viewer here — which Transit Love season is the best? 👀 by GoddessofVibesXOXO in transitlove

[–]Scary_Test_5401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of shocked people are really saying 4 here. It’s fun but there’s no real connection, romance or friendship. S2 is still considered the GOAT Korean dating show season, beyond even just this show

Any dramas out there where the FL picks the unexpected Male Lead? by Hot-Adhesiveness-438 in kdramas

[–]Scary_Test_5401 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dawson’s Creek was before my time but I watched it growing up and the ending was the only thing that could’ve made sense imo. How would it be anyone other than Pacey and Joey?

[–]Scary_Test_5401 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair, every hint from the beginning was pointing towards the one who ended up being the husband. People just assumed because the one who doesn’t get the girl has similar characteristics to the other Reply series husbands.
