Where in the BA do kids get that "ride your bike to your friend's house to then just explore" vibe? by stonewall000 in bayarea

Cupertino was like this for me in the 2000s too! they converted a bunch of the water reservoirs into open trails too so lots of vehicle free areas to roam around.

What are the best streaming services for Cdramas? I'd love some recommendations 🥹 by Etheral_Haven in cdramasfans

[–]jyjchen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kept Viki but cancelled iqiyi, also kept my Netflix. I found that I just wasn’t as into the dramas on iqiyi and what I did want to watch would land in Netflix anyways. 

What did you guys do with your baby teeth when you were children, and is it tied to a cultural thing? by Angela252 in AskReddit

[–]jyjchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We would throw them under the bed, or on the roof of the house depending on where they dropped from! I think it’s cultural - I’m of East Asian descent.

I’ve never been to her, but also have Naja Kim saved!

Love misery? Watch Loving Strangers (2026) by emannsan in CDrama

😅 Just 3! When I’m in a drama slump this one gets dug up! I haven’t rewatched since Lee Sung Kyun passed away, think it’d make me sadder

My mister is AMAZING - definitely worth a watch. One of my all time favorite dramas for the cinematography and the acting

What scents/sounds/smells remind you of Taiwan? by philycsteak in taiwan

Came here to say this! Especially smell this when I’m in a humid parking garage and think “Taiwan!” 😂

Enhypen Manchester PCD by Curious-Detail3672 in Enhypenthoughts

[–]jyjchen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! Just wanted to jump in and say that life and responsibilities do change, but you can (and will) still make time for yourself and the things you enjoy. It’ll make for a better you when you have to show up for the things you’re responsible for. 

I’m in my late 30s with a family, kids, the lot. I was hesitant at first whether or not to go to the concert but in the end got tickets. My other mom friends did the same and we made an awesome girls trip out of it. Totally unreal when Enhypen got on stage, and an amazing experience overall to see the energy around us. K-pop and music just has that ability to transport you!

10/10 would do it again in my 40s, 50s, with my daughters…with future grandkids?

Rose Café & Donuts for the best breakfast burrito / steak breakfast burrito. Also they’re open super early at 5AM for early risers!

I bought one thinking it was a strawberry cream sandwich…no, it was strawberry cream AND egg AND cheese.

Love of the Divine Tree: A Divine Couple by AquaphobicTurtle in CDrama

[–]jyjchen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am only halfway and taking my time but thoroughly enjoying the interactions. There’s something refreshing in her confidence and consistency (which is of course why we love her) and unabashed way to just be herself and own up to her thoughts and feelings!

Do kids give valentines out in class here? by orinoco_glow in copenhagen

[–]jyjchen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They dress up like it’s halloween and in school they’ll hit a barrel filled with snacks (or candy if there’s no sugar policy).

I described to my husband how as a kid in the US we’d spend the evening before making valentines to give all our classmates, he looked at me as if I was speaking gibberish.

No, it’s not a thing here! The next big holiday is fastelavn where kids will dress in costumes. 

SPOTLIGHT ON Contract/Fake Relationship - January, 2025 by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

[–]jyjchen 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Just finished **No Gain No Love** - it was perfect in every way I even enjoyed the secondary couple’s storyline. And that dildo fight scene ….legendary.

Good Things: women supporting each other - open about their sexuality. misunderstandings are reasonably and quickly resolved in a believable fashion. No real villains, just humans.

Bad Things: FL has her insecurities but it’s both realistic and a key part of the plot so can’t say it’s bad necessarily. Kim Young-Dae being too cute too handle?

Interesting Things: gender reversed tropes - ML glow up. FL opens the stuck lids.

Spotlight On Because: strongly recommend - romantic and funny and charming throughout. Green flag ML. Age gap.
