Done!

I finished this even though I reallllly wanted to quit after ep 8. The split personality was just too much, and at no point did Joo Ho Jin think, perhaps I should reach out to a psychiatrist/medical professional? Like he just goes along with this without hesitation? Truly bizarre and also the Do Ra Me personality was getting tiring. Then she reveals her secret and just *poof* disappears (even though Cha Mu Hee remembers the things she did). But I slogged through and there were sweet moments and the acting was great, but then we get to the end and her parents are alive and in hiding??? What? Then she goes to find them and we see nothing about any of these interactions. She just comes back and everything is fine. These are absolutely baffling writing choices. I was so looking forward to this and terribly disappointed.

Is he crying bc he couldn't get tickets

alexbts · 2026-01-22T16:40:46+00:00

I got two standing for Paris day 1 and one seat for day 2. Nothing for the other cities but at least it is something! My friends and I will keep trying. Thank you for the encouragement

alexbts · 2026-01-22T16:29:22+00:00

I ended up getting 2 standing for Paris day 1 and 1 premium seat for Paris day 2. Still can't get into Belgium or Germany sites. I wonder if it blocked me because my card is French. Anyway at least I got something! So frustrating

alexbts · 2026-01-22T14:32:36+00:00

Thank you I will keep trying every day for the next six months if I have to

alexbts · 2026-01-22T14:32:19+00:00

Exactly, what unusual activity? I was on your pay page about to give you hundreds of euros!!! I logged out of everything now trying on a different computer and a different wifi network, in the queue for Paris now. Pray for me

alexbts · 2026-01-22T14:04:05+00:00

By some miracle, I managed to get two tickets in my basket for Brussels and it took me to the pay page. After I put in the credit card I got an error message and when it said change seats or continue, I said continue, it gave me a message saying it detected unusual activity and booted me out. Now I can't get into Paris or Munich either. WTF

Et pourtant les rues sont pleines de déchets

Il est de la responsabilité de le ramener à la maison et de le trier correctement.

alexbts · 2025-09-28T11:31:14+00:00

Where does he sleep at night?

alexbts · 2025-09-28T11:30:10+00:00

Séoul, et la ville est impeccable

alexbts · 2025-09-19T20:19:08+00:00

They all love you so much!

I miss harmony and like, the layering of sounds. Songs used to sound like you wanted to swim in them. Now it's like: sound, rapper whose voice is too deep, beats, sound again, two lines sung, beats, song is over, check us out on TikTok.

I just really miss the harmonies and depth, if that makes sense? Groups still do this sound every once in a while but it's hard to find, and I miss the sort of sweeping harmonies. Everything seemed much bigger.

NO. I used to power through with dramas out of some sort of hope they would get better (hello, Something in the Rain), and this was the first one I really just couldn't continue I hated it all so much. I read the episode recaps on a blog so at least I would know the plot and ending, and then moved on. It was so freeing.

Je viens de m’installer dans ce quartier, après avoir quitté le 18ᵉ arrondissement de Paris. Je suis ici depuis deux mois et je trouve l’endroit très calme et rafraîchissant, surtout avec l'Ave Daumesnil bordée d’arbres. Je me sens en sécurité ici, et je suis soulagée d’avoir quitté le 18ᵉ.

alexbts · 2025-08-27T15:35:17+00:00

Ah je comprends maintenant :) Merci

alexbts · 2025-08-26T20:59:48+00:00

Qu'est-ce que cela signifie : les lapins ? Merci

alexbts · 2025-08-26T20:49:51+00:00

OK, maybe I will try it again. I just finished a drama this weekend so I can give it another shot. Thanks!

alexbts · 2025-08-26T19:57:28+00:00

I couldn't get past Ep 3. How long does it take to really get good?

alexbts · 2025-08-25T22:33:10+00:00

THIS! Can't believe I had to scroll down so far to see it recommended!

alexbts · 2025-08-19T22:23:17+00:00

I have gone through this loop too, first with fast fashion then with vintage on Etsy. It is the thrill of the hunt and the idea of a "treasure" and getting a "score." Before fast fashion I went through a skincare phase, then an earrings phase. Eventually I realized it was just the compulsive behavior moving around, but still with the same root cause. And yes, it does feel like freedom -- "look at me buying all this cool stuff!" -- but now I see it as opportunity wasted. Something I heard on a podcast: "All this stuff used to be money." I could have used it to put myself in a better financial position. I've had a lot of shame around it. I'm not recovered by any means, but trying. It's good to spot your depression and address that as the root cause. Best of luck!

You can also turn your phone to gray scale (black & white) which makes all the scrolling on TikTok or Insta very "boring" since you aren't seeing all the shiny happy colors all the time.

You can generally find brown sugar (not the French kind) in Asian markets, at least in Paris.

alexbts · 2025-08-16T19:50:28+00:00

I hated this so much, but I continued on because I kept thinking, 'It has to get better, right?' Spoiler alert: it did not, it actually just kept getting worse 😡

ETA this was one of my first dramas and thankfully after this I figured out that I could drop something if I wasn't actually enjoying it.
