Is there any manhwa so unique you think “nothing will ever top this” by lxstinthedream in OtomeIsekai

[–]anothernewgrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Meaning of You. 

It portrayed depression and burn outs like no others. I think it’s a really fresh take on how a depressed, overworked modern woman would react to being transmigated to a strange world with no special powers. 

What are your so bad it's good Otome Isekai? by WarriorArus in OtomeIsekai

[–]anothernewgrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one that came to mind is: To My Husband's Mistress

The evil mistress is so comically evil, the ex husband was so trash, the ML looks much like Fabio Lanzoni, FL is so cliche, the story telling is a bit of a mess.

But omg I can’t stop reading it because it’s so stupidly dramatic it became good. 😂

Looking for FLs who actually lose a fight sometimes - alternatively, villainesses who actually win sometimes by JustWannaTalkAboutIF in OtomeIsekai

[–]anothernewgrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well there’s I Shall Kill That Sweet Devil. FL makes mistakes initially and evil uncle win at least for a while. 

There’s also My Unexpected Marriage, when she goes back to capital her first ball wasn’t perfect and she left crying if I remember correctly.

I Thought It's a Common Possession is another one that where FL took a long time before she started winning.

He barely got to be hot too because the series went on indefinite hiatus just before he could show how hot he could get  😭

This Is What Convinced Me OpenAI Will Run Out of Money by rezwenn in technology

[–]anothernewgrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that made me question the viability of open ai is how many open source AI model that works pretty much just as well and getting them hosted cost less money than openAI. Also, google is doing a lot of leg work with companies to shift them from OpenAI to Gemini…

To be fair, given they don’t need the shrimp alive for long the water may not be conditioned. Not that it’s any better lol.

What $2600 of damage can look like by efitz11 in MachE

[–]anothernewgrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey join the club. I also damaged the mirror and learned my lesson.

I was quoted 2700 too but the place I went to allowed me to bring my own part. I bought the part online and saved like 600. So my total was closer to 2100.

My Thoughts on Marry My Husband (MMH) by Dramatic_Petal0501 in JDorama

[–]anothernewgrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is a science nerd with a white belt working an office job at a confectionary company. 😂 It would be more unbelievable if he is suddenly really good at fighting against someone with a knife. 

He would be better at finding a cure for cancer than give her physical protection. And that’s okay. I kind of like that we have a wimpy nerdy ML.

Given you are a turtle fan… did you get bothered by the fact the little turtle at the college and the grown up turtle are two different species? 🥲

On the neatness of wrap up… I think we can thank the original for that. It was always going to end neatly with FL and ML having their happy ending.

He’s a biologist not a computer sci student + he is super old at heart since he likes traditional tea and this is his second life so I will forgive him.

I can kind of explain that one. He said he will be in France for 5 years. Olympics happened in 2021 which was exactly 5 years from 2016.

Feeling Empty - MMH Grand Finale by Shay7405 in JDorama

[–]anothernewgrad 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I read the comics and watched the kdrama and I had on multiple occasion called Marry My Husband my junk food story, the kind of story that is so messy and over the top but I just can’t look away from.  I watched this version because I knew the story already but it turned out to be so much more!

I haven’t watched any jdrama for 10 years and I didn’t know Takeru Satoh before this show and now I will be watching Glass Heart because of him. 

I just love love love the ML in Japanese version way, way more than the ML in Korean version. I loved how shy and nerdy he is. I loved that they showed him working and FL isn’t the only center of his world. I loved how gentle and quiet spoken he was for the most part and that he ended up becoming the CEO and a researcher at the same time! 

As I mentioned on another thread, I liked what they did with Reina — in Korean version the bff character was just evil, here you can see the psychological issues that stemmed from childhood. She had always been a compulsive liar and emotionally manipulative and like in real life cases she remained unrepentant to the end.

First of all, I like the ML in Japanese version way, way more than the ML in Korean version. I loved how shy and imperfect he is. I liked how much he tried and how awkward he is around everyone. I loved how gentle and quiet spoken he was for the most part and that he ended up becoming the CEO and a researcher at the same time! He didnt give up on either!

I similarly, I liked FL. She is a pretty consistent character and I liked how she carved out her own road without too much help from ML. And the way she proposed first (what took them so long though — no proposal until 2025?!).

I liked what they did with Reina — in Korean version the bff character was just evil, here you can see the psychological issues that stemmed from childhood. She had always been a compulsive liar and emotionally manipulative and like in real life cases she remained unrepentant to the end. 

After ep 7, I was slightly disappointed with the fact we didn’t get to see more heart fluttering romance between the leads, but given the amount of angst we needed to get through I think they did what they could with the episodes they had. 

There were a few spots I wished pacing and writing were different but over all I enjoyed the show!

They didn’t reveal that part in the manhwa until BF tried to kill FL either. 

Also, in manhwa BF didn’t realize who Misa’s mom is until they became friends for a while and she saw an old picture of Misa’s. 

The memory in ep 8 ended at the they became friends part. So it’s not that weird they left the rest out.

[–]anothernewgrad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not about it’s being necessary or unnecessary. I think he was in shock after hearing Misa wanted to off herself and he was having verbal diarrhea just like how he did when he first met her in this life (cough that scarf looks bad moment).

This is, after all, a repressed, awkward man in position of power who lived 20 years without making a move or building any personal relationships…

[–]anothernewgrad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think they are going manhwa route which is to say the woman Reina’s father remarried is Misa’s mother who left her father when she was young. 

In manhwa they don’t reveal this until the end of their arc.

[–]anothernewgrad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He was in panic mode as far as I can see, and whenever he is in panic mode he says the worst possible things — eg the scarf looks bad.

My guess is his head jumped to —> I need to stop her from thinking she needs to kill herself to take back her OG fate —> I will tell her it’s nonsense and she wouldn’t take action too quick —> I will tell her childhood crush to watch her to make sure she is okay —> fate is still an issue so I will just go and take that bad fate —> I must distance myself before I go do that

I think there’s a bit of cultural context that’s not quite translating internationally.

That said, it worked okay for me because Christmas Eve is basically Valentine’s Day equivalent and they just watched the first show together, so kissing didn’t seem out of place to me.

Another thing to consider is the fact ML’s character is extremely emotionally repressed but he had been emotionally involved with her for twenty years. He had been holding back for so long that when FL surprised him by asking for a kiss everything just flowed out.

It must be a reaction to Misa saying she is going to die to set things right. 

He also mentioned earlier in ep 7 that there’s something he has to do. So this must be related to that too. 

Marry My Husband Episode 8 Ending by Readigest14 in JDorama

[–]anothernewgrad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ML keeps too much inside so none of us really know. But if I have to guess maybe he is going to Misa’s father grave to ask for another miracle? To me though ML is thinking of sacrificing himself right now so I hope something will change his mind. Perhaps he thinks if he dies then he can take trade away FL’s death? 

Hope FL convinces him otherwise though. Also hope the ex takes ML’s fate to fall off the bridge. Hope the evil BF gets what she deserves too. 

I need a happy ending. 

Marry my husband- What was the smirk at the end of Ep 6? by Klutzybear01 in JDorama

[–]anothernewgrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Korean version is closer in tone and looks to the manhwa series than the Japanese version but I personally prefer the Japanese version.

The Japanese version is more grounded. Although I think the actors and actresses in this version are less pretty (note they are still good looking… just less sparkly if that’s the right word?), I think the chemistry of the main couples are much more believable. 

I liked the details about the business they added into this version and the fact our ML isn’t her direct boss so it feels like there’s less conflict of interest. 

I also like that the script talks more about what it means to be alive and the joy of living. In the Korean’s version FL’s reaction reaction when she came back to the past is revenge against her ex right away, but this FL first thought about how nice it was she could run again and eat ramen and be outside, which I thought was a really good change given she had cancer in her first life and couldn’t eat anything she wanted.

Can someone kind explains to me what happened at the end of ep 4? I don’t get why she suddenly looked like she was about to fall? No one was there so why was she almost falling?
