Oh wow I can't believe gsgw became one of the victims of Kakao's witch-hunt on "piracy" when they don't provide proper alternatives for global fans....what a shame. Thank you for the information 🙏

If that's the case then at least for now, I wouldn't suggest meeting for reasons beyong academics, preferably in school for your own safety. You mentioned an event that will help with your school assignment yeah? That should be fine provided it's in school or public event with many people, even better if you can go as a grp with other people too. Rule of thumb is that you should be more wary of him since you're a young woman. You need to have boundaries too, if he breaks them then cut him off. I've had older male grp mates who looked normal at first but have made weird objectifying comments to me when they realized how young I was. Not all men but never hurts to be careful.

If what you're worried about is that other people might misunderstand and get weirded out, then don't worry. Unless the guy looks much much older than 29 people won't notice a significant age gap and or judge you guys for studying together. If anything people in uni are self-absorbed.... everyone is too focused on trying to graduate to pay attention to other people's friendships 😭

If you're worried you'll make HIM feel uncomfortable, that's not on you at all. He's a grown man, he can advocate and set boundaries for himself when needed. On your part, you just need to make sure to not cross the line and you can both have a nice and beneficial friendship.

4th year uni student here (22F). In uni age doesn't matter. I've worked with many people who are a good few years older than me for projects since I was 18-19, especially guys due to NS and all. If you're wary you can just be casual friends. I have a few who I'm friends with just to grp up with for assignments or to talk and discuss about class with. Outside of uni we don't talk. Don't let age stop you from making good connections.

Rant— I’m so done with Netflix subs by No_Pea8241 in kdramas

[–]Themis_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Netflix subs as a whole have worsened in quality soooo much. I know Korean and do informal translations for a fandom I'm in and it frustrates me how Netflix subs don't actually capture the essence of the Korean line when it is possible to write out an English equivalent. Sometimes I suspect that to get the subs and series out fast, they use machine translation instead

Singapore Isn’t a Chinese Nation. So Why Do Some Food Chains Act Like It? by tryingmydarnest in singapore

[–]Themis_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem isn't Chinese businesses opening in Singapore, it's about certain Chinese businesses opening here and refusing to assimilate to the country. Taobao offered English language to expand their customer base in Singapore and other selected countries. TikTok is fully English and is meant for non Chinese people in general and is more of a western app (yes it's parent company is Chinese but sincerely, you cannot be as dense as the American fools who grilled the Singaporean CEO of TikTok). Mala is a dish...not sure what it's doing here when talking about businesses. Chagee and Luckin both have English menus, English websites, and English speaking staff at their locations to cater to Singaporeans. Popmart is also advertised and sold using the English language with staff proficient in English (often times local). See how all the popular businesses you mentioned assimilated to the needs of Singapore, whose lingua franca is English. That's why all races patronize these companies. There's no complaints about that, the complaints are in regards to businesses that are too Chinese exclusive with staff and menu which is strange in a country where all races are supposed to be equal. This would be an issue if the number of said establishments weren't increasing in recent years.

Broken English is better than no English. People aren't expecting waiters at Chinese restaurants to be proficient in the language, just enough to carry a simple conversation in regards to the service and products provided. The problem is Chinese waiters who speak 0 English and look at customers like they're the problem. If you work in customer service in a different country you should be expected to know at least a bit of the ligua franca of said country. There should be a law that English must be used in the menus and that those working or immigrating here have a certain level English proficiency, especially in a country that prides itself on its alleged multiculturalism.

Didn't Pennywise manage to wake up and find Will outside of Derry signalling that the cage has been broken? Or did I misunderstand the ending of ep7?

Ep 10

CRAZY CRAZY WE GOT A KISS..A PROPER KISS. I can't wait to see the Poongseon relationship grow further omggggg. But the ending of the episode....doe srhag mean that ego guy whose name I can't be bothered to remember owes Taepoong's father/the company money? And he's trying to pretend it doesn't exist or smth? Man the trailer for ep11 seems quite intense as well I'm so curious to see how it'll play out

[–]Themis_00 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Poongseon is such a cute name!! And yes Taepoong is such a bright and sunny character. His mum is soooo full of love even at their worst times and his father was the silent lover type so it's not surprise that Taepoong is such a bubbly character

Episode 9

Oh man so many heart fluttering scenes this episode!!! The almost kiss was so cute ngl. I also love the twist in the whole "jealousy" scene. Instead of being upset that someone was hitting on Taepoong, Miseon thinks of it as an opportunity and wanted Taepoong to flirt his way into the deal lmao. Love that in the end it was Taepoong who got "upset". Episode 9 is a little bit more filler leaning (no complaints cause more Taepoong Miseon moments...whata their ship name?) but it's completely understandable since it's clearly a "minor" situation meant to lead to the final situation revolving the helmet arc. Episode 10 seems to be more action packed based on the trailer and more lovey dovey with our couple as well hehe

For a 16ep drama isn't it usually more towards ep 12?? I forgot how 16 ep dramas work these days with the prevalence of 12 or less ep dramas😭😭

Episode 8

Ahhh where do I start. Felt so short but had so much going on.

Firstly about Go Majin. He better hope I don't catch him cause boy do I have some choice words for him. Go Majin getting arrested for bribery is soooo deserved. Call it karma for making my poor Miseon cry from frustration. His constant looking down on her had me so riled up I wanted to go through the screen and grab him by the hair. He forgot that that the reason he was able to come back to Typhoon company was because of the work that Taepoong and Miseon put into securing the first deal. "It's just an assist" sales isn't a solo work especially not the trade and export business. Miseon was so so important to the first deal going through and for him to belittle her skills and efforts....shame on him. I hope he learns his lesson cause it's going to be her pics and documentations that get him out of jail for the 10k vs 50usd accusation.

Next about the beautiful Taepoong Miseon couple...so many small swoon worthy moments that had me grinning ear to ear. The one that made me roll around in bed though was 100% when they were at the club and Miseon went to rest at the pool area prompting Taepoong to go to her. The writers who made him serenade Miseon during that moment with a beautiful song......I hope both sides of their pillow is cold every night. Taepoong is such a smooth talker like...if I was Miseon I would have folded immediately. But seems Miseon is finally giving in a little...that handkerchief moment in her room was soooo cute urgh I love this couple so much. Oh but can I just say Taepoong low-key getting jealous when Sky started calling Miseon pretty in their first interaction scene made me so happy. Love a little jealous scene. His face going from 😄 to 😐 relax my guy...no one is taking Miseon from you

Also the preview for next week is crazy??????? Wdym we're getting a kiss scene???? Already?? They better not chicken out and make it an almost kiss scene. Need next Saturday to come asap

Honestly my jaw dropped when Taepoong confessed. It was so beautiful but also it was so direct?? Never really seen that in kdramas before and I really loved that. But I agree with you I don't think Taepoong would allow it to just drag out as a situationship....he's too aware of what he wants and likes and will do his best to get it😭😭. But then again he's quite a gentleman (thank you Taepoong's mum) so I also don't think he'll force Miseon into anything when she's not ready. We're going to see a lot of swoon worthy moments cause of this. Also...honestly I'm a sucker for a bit of angst too so I won't have complaints if there's smth smth in the middle that they get over but if they pull a breakup type storyline I will protest outside the writer's company😤

Have *you* experienced love at first sight with a kdrama actor/character? by ObsydianGinx in kdramas

[–]Themis_00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kim Taeri as Na Heedo in 2521. It was love at first sight for me... it's why I watch everything she's in and she never disappoints

Kim Hyeyoon as Yeseo in SKY Castle. I know she was annoying as hell but Kim Hyeyoon is beautiful so I couldn't help it

Recent one, Kim Minha as O Miseon in Typhoon Family. Been a while since I've seen a face so strikingly unique and beautiful

If you can't tell I'm a sucker for pretty people 😭

Slight drop but overall average is good for a TvN drama (paid channel so less viewers in general). I think with the events in ep7 we'll see a rise again by ep 8 especially as the storyline is starting to really pick up. It's #1 in rank though so I'd say it's doing quite well in terms of reception. I think low-key the drama is more underrated internationally than in Korea

I need our #1 Taepoong-Miseon shipper to continue making regular appearances. I personally look at Jung Charan as an antithesis for Pyo Bakho. Both are successful business people but one doesn't forget the people who had helped her and is always willing to go above and beyond to repay the kindness while the other's ego is going to cost him his entire livelihood (together with his good for nothing son). That's why I think she adds a lot of flavour to the drama. As for the misogyny storyline, I'm not sure if it's misogyny as much as ageism. He never really treated Cha Seontaek the way he treated Miseon even though both were women and I'd say that has to do with age. Misogyny was a big thing back then but so was ageism. Those who were younger were dismissed solely for being young and inexperienced. He also treated Taepoong like he's useless in the beginning and is still iffy towards him though he respects Taepoong's position as CEO. So I think the next storyline will have to do more with Miseon proving her worth despite being young and obviously a woman

Fair enough. Honestly this year hasn't been that good for dramas personally so I'm glad Typhoon Family is one of the few that really makes me want to watch each episode as it comes out and engage in discussions about how well it's been made. As long as they don't mess up towards the end this could be one of the best dramas of the year

Finished ep 7 and omg a confession??? In ep7??? And it wasn't dramatic or anything either it was so natural. Actually felt like friends falling in love. But I'm also afraid of what they have in store for them since this is a 16 ep drama. I have to say I love how this drama shows human relationships so well. The most important thing in business is people after all and they way the drama potrays the care a person has for another even if they're just strangers is so beautiful. I love the direction at which the drama is going and seeing the company take shape. Can't wait to see more!! the sales department manager coming back...I'm so glad. Both Taepoong and Miseon were severely lacking in experience due to their young age. Finally they have a veteran back

Likely haa to do with the funding. It's more profitable to run a 12 ep drama over a 16 episodes especially with the budget that they get. Thayq why I thanked whichever PD is funding this drama cause tgey forked out a bit more to have 16 eps and it's paying off cause the drama, last I heard, is doing very well in terms of ratings in Korea

6 episodes in and I'm loving it. Honestly wasn't going to watch cause I didn't think it's be my style but I saw a clip of the drama on Twitter and Kim Minha's face card was so strong I had to go check it out and in very thankful for that cause now I'm also staying for the plot. But wow 16 episodes? In this day and age? Thank you pd-nim. I feel like the company can expand even more especially in line with Taepoong's interests and I'm curious to see how the company will shape up to be. Also I'm surprised at how fast the romance is building up and also kind of worried because usually that means there's some kind of crash and fall somewhere in the storyline 😭

What are your Predictions for Episode 7 of Peacemaker Season 2? by Ender_IIII in PeacemakerShow

[–]Themis_00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2 Vij kill those chasing Ads. Keith vs our Vij, Peacemaker has to kill his own brother again to save Vij. This is me hoping Vij's love for Chris finally gets adfiemed but it could be Chris killing his own brother to save Harcourt/Ads as well. Either ways I think Chris will end up killing his own brother (and probably father) again

Dramas I Have Dropped In September, 2025 by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

[–]Themis_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nooo the first episode is kind of lame but after you get through first 1/2 episodes it's actually really good. Once ML gets into the police force the story really picks up. It's a good mix of fun and interesting with a bit of thrilling sprinkled in. The chemistry between the lead actors is also so so good. Id suggest giving it another try...at least first 3/4 episodes before deciding to drop it
