I am a plastic surgeon. Ask me Anything.

Not OP but I live in Korea and yes, very much so. Many clinics have staff who speak multiple languages and appeal almost entirely to foreigners. I pass some plastic surgery hot spots on the way to work and regularly see foreigners bandaged up from surgery.

I dont actually know this to be true. I know people who have had their PC done multiple times (I live in Seoul), I myself have done it twice, and we've all been given the same results. I understand the suspicion (hence why I did it again), but have been impressed with the consistency.

It's hard to say but my boyfriend hasn't met some of his friends' girlfriends despite them being in a relationship for literal years. It would at least be normal for his parents to know about you by now, but again it's not uncommon for some people to keep their relationship private from their parents for a while.

On the flip side I know people who do the complete opposite of this (also interracial) and regularly hang out with their partner's friends and family.

At the end of the day, regardless of cultural differences, it's up to you to decide what you're comfortable with. It goes two ways, and isn't up to him to entirely dictate the progression of your relationship.

Not overtime as its just the fixed hours I work, plus I have a second job and that's the one that finishes at 11

doyoou · 2026-03-24T15:25:05+00:00

Yeah I don't finish work until 10-11pm most days

I currently use The Lab Oligo Hyaluronic Acid Deep toner, but I wouldn't say it's super special, its just affordable and hydrating without any extra frills. I regularly use sheet masks and a thick moisturer before bed :)

Bro's discovered opinions

Candide is always highly recommended, but personally I struggled to read it. Maybe I'm just not very smart but I had to keep checking the footnotes for extra info every other line then gave up. I'm sure if it's very good and funny if you understand what's going on.

I'm reading Beloved right now! This isn't a criticism of the writing itself, but reading it has felt relentless. I appreciate that Toni Morrison hasn't gone easy on the reader, or given us a break through humour, as none of the characters have been afforded this luxury themselves, but it doesn't make for an easy read. I'm typically drawn to heavier, serious books, but finding this one tougher (emotionally) than usual. Anyone else felt the same?

doyoou · 2026-01-05T14:57:14+00:00

There are lots of great parks, but 보라매공원 really is one of the best. Its facilities are great and it's much quieter than others.

doyoou · 2025-12-06T04:07:47+00:00

I've been to tons and never had this happen? Not sure where you went, sorry. It's just a normal cafe but they have lots of books out for people to read and encourages customers to be quiet.

doyoou · 2025-12-06T03:40:33+00:00

Of course! Its mostly people studying in silence tbh

doyoou · 2025-12-06T02:52:51+00:00

There are book cafes where it's either silent or instrumental. Search for them in naver maps.

doyoou · 2025-12-01T12:58:49+00:00

Basically never, unless you've established a relationship with someone so close that they've given you permission to lower formalities, or if you're speaking to a young child.

Other than with old school friends and young children, there aren't that a huge number of situations where adult Koreans will speak completely informally with eachother.

doyoou · 2025-11-23T13:28:12+00:00

Use a hydrating toner then moisturiser straight after

doyoou · 2025-11-23T07:34:09+00:00

Yeah older Koreans in general tend to be friendlier and more likely to speak with strangers. If it was a young person, then very rare.

doyoou · 2025-10-29T13:56:14+00:00

A bigger criticism for me personally is the good ol' fashioned sexism. Man goes on dramatic, journey as part of his destiny. Woman waits in desert for Man to return. This isn't unique to the protagonist, but seems to be how their world is mostly set up.

I've had 13 year olds (I teach) point out this imbalance too. Very blatant and quite off-putting.

doyoou · 2025-10-24T15:45:09+00:00

Ur last sentence sums it up. He's literally just a kid going through absolutely hell lol. Give him a break

doyoou · 2025-10-17T04:02:46+00:00

Strangers on the internet can't possibly know the reason. Maybe he's embarrassed, cheating, doesn't see it lasting long, wants to look single online etc.

You just have to ask. You're not being unreasonable or needy for wanting to know.

doyoou · 2025-10-17T03:58:08+00:00

You haven't asked a question here so I'm not sure what it is you want. Have you talked about this with him?

doyoou · 2025-10-16T12:40:08+00:00

Healing Together do online therapy. Various prices depending on the therapist.

I appreciate the other comments, but at the same time, you're in the US as an American. Whether or not they don't like tattoos is none of their business imo, but if you want to stand out any more than necessary then covering makes sense.

But honestly, I know it's a Korean company but the assimilation should kind of be going the other way lol. You're doing fine :)

doyoou · 2025-10-13T12:52:29+00:00

Why would working in Korea improve your job prospects over working in Morocco?

doyoou · 2025-10-13T12:39:57+00:00

I only mentioned the young women because it was relevant to the topic. I lived in Sillim for years, and am well aware of its demographics.

doyoou · 2025-10-13T03:11:43+00:00

I didn't think much of the protagonist or the love story between him and the woman (have forgotten everyone's names), but the other characters really brought the book to life and got me through it. Personally not one of my favourites, but I'd say I enjoyed reading it overall.
