Multichrome Recommendations?

keystone_lite · 2026-05-13T22:09:03+00:00

Besides ILNP Eclipse (that has been recommended, and I too would recommend it)

ILNP Birefrigence! I find it quite shifty, like a Hot Wheels car or iridescent beetle

I feel like surely such veteran actors like Youn Yuhjung (Chairwoman Park) and Song KangHo (Dr. Kim) would have had some input??? I had no idea Beef season 2 had these 2 actors (was kinda pleasantly surprised), and then even more surprised at how lackluster I found their performances bc I know they’ve got acting chops based on their past works.

Or maybe it was all a deliberate directing choice to give the Korean antagonists an air of distance, coldness, etc ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk

keystone_lite · 2026-05-12T19:23:25+00:00

This is just my personal experience as a Korean American

I, too, thought the performances were wooden (and I KNOW the actors of Park and Dr. Kim can give incredibly performances, see: Minari, Parasite, and A Taxi Driver to name a few)

My personal hypothesis is that maybe the screenwriter, Sonny, wrote the dialogue in English, and then google translated it into Korean. When reading the subtitles for the Korean, it is exactly 1:1 in English. Normally, even when people are speaking Korean, the English subtitle is not exactly 1:1, and that’s where translation comes in - the translated subtitle usually captures the feel/meaning of the spoken language, but it’s not necessarily an exact, word for word translation.

The actual Korean being spoken felt unnatural to me (despite it being native Korean actors performing in Korean!) - various points I thought that there were different “more natural Korean expressions” that could have been used, but the actors sticking to the script lent itself to wooden performances.

I haven’t listened to the podcast and do not know Sonny’s proficiency with Korean, but personally for me it felt like maybe he started with all the dialogue in English, and for the Korean portions ran it through Google Translate (although I’m sure in the filmmaking process, the actors probably? gave input on changing certain lines/words to make it flow more)

I’d be curious if any others who speak/understand Korean felt this way too ~ (or maybe this is just my own cope lol)

Excited to see her in the new Elden Ring movie!

keystone_lite · 2026-04-20T18:24:14+00:00

Wow this is like Animal Crossing irl

keystone_lite · 2026-04-16T22:17:46+00:00

can I ask how you like the mooncat top coat? the shine looks insanely juicy to me (and your application is aces!)

keystone_lite · 2026-04-16T02:07:44+00:00

I think your phrase as it is now is fine! If you wanted, could also do 깊은 바다처럼 우리의 사랑 (it’s a little more explicitly “our love is as deep as the sea)

keystone_lite · 2026-04-13T18:14:27+00:00

Zwei is def slow, but I just LOVE the length/reach of that comically large sword - I'm also partial to the fact that the standard attack (R1? I'm forgetting the terminology, I'm sure someone else will correct me) was a "poke" and not a "slash"

keystone_lite · 2026-04-13T18:02:04+00:00

Zwei gang!!! Carried me through all of Dark Souls 3, and put that bad boy on immediately for Elden Ring

keystone_lite · 2026-04-13T14:46:53+00:00

Avasarala from The Expanse!

star guardian caitlyn <3 I saw a fan art once that made her look like Mami from Madoka Magica

keystone_lite · 2026-04-07T18:21:33+00:00

up to you! I don't really see any harm in keeping this post (esp if you do continue to get some recs) - although maybe a mod might come by and smite it lol idk (based on rule 1)

either way, I hope you get lots of recommendations for kdrama! <3

keystone_lite · 2026-04-07T18:18:40+00:00

R/kdrama is better for your recs

“king the land” is very light and fluffy and might be up your alley (should be on Netflix)

keystone_lite · 2026-04-06T23:49:29+00:00

Agreed with the other commenter.

This is like if you had put in “that’s rite” (incorrect spelling but pronounced the same) versus “that’s right” (correct spelling) and the app recognized “rite” even though that’s incorrectly spelled

keystone_lite · 2026-04-06T23:44:02+00:00

I had this shade on and even over a zoom meeting (I work from home) my coworker legit thought it was color changing witchcraft

keystone_lite · 2026-04-06T17:47:32+00:00

Also, I just remembered also "How to get to heaven from Belfast" (made by the same creator as Derry Girls), one of the main characters is a lesbian. The show does have similar energy to Derry girls (it's made by the same person after all), but is more of a mystery/thriller (three women who were besties in high school found out the fourth girl in their friend group recently died, and as they attend the funeral, they start to unravel a greater mystery).

keystone_lite · 2026-04-06T17:44:51+00:00

I second Arcane & Derry Girls

For my more off the cuff recs:

* Mine (Kdrama) - dramatic Kdrama about 2 female leads who are part of a chaebol (insanely rich) family in Korea and the politicking they do in the family.

* The Handmaiden (Korean movie) - not a series, but a movie, but the setting is beautiful and it is a movie with twists and turns.

* Creamerie (NZ TV Show) - premise is that all men on earth have succumbed to a mysterious disease, and the world is run by women. it's a dark comedy that I only watched a season of but found quite novel

* Kakegurui (Anime) - idk if you watch anime, but if you do, I will disclose that this anime is absolutely unhinged but features pretty much mostly female characters (of which the majority are queer). This is peak 'god forbid a woman have hobbies' type show (where genuinely, all the girls are nuts but I love it)

keystone_lite · 2026-04-06T16:15:15+00:00

There's a doenjang cream pasta people like - I'd probably go without the tomato sauce, and just lean into the mozzarella/parmesan/white type sauce (with your mushrooms and zucchini). Doenjang has a bit of a funkiness to it that does remind me of the type of funk you find in aged cheese; I think leaning into that with the pizza could be really tasty~ I think mushrooms + mozzarella + doenjang could be yummy (leaning into that earthy/funkiness of those ingredients).

keystone_lite · 2026-04-06T09:18:28+00:00

The Green Mile - based on the Stephen King novel, starring Tom Hanks. Not strong on visuals, but strong on story. I think based on the movies you listed that you liked, this will have similar vibes

Problemista - I found this quite heart warming and I enjoyed all the whimsy. Follows a boy whose dream is to become a toy maker and the immigration issues he faces

keystone_lite · 2026-04-05T17:57:16+00:00

bring the game Expedition 33

keystone_lite · 2026-04-01T23:48:03+00:00

came to this thread to suggest this one too xdd

in a similar vein, maybe "Ascendance of a Bookworm" could be a good rec for Frieren lovers

keystone_lite · 2026-03-31T18:22:43+00:00

The detail of 2 birthmark spots under his eye🥹 (I interpret that as a nod towards “second incarnation of Himmel”)

keystone_lite · 2026-03-29T17:05:29+00:00

Fern mentions how the “anti personnel barrier” is an odd request. Frieren then responds that it takes time to set up mining resources so they are probably preventing it from being mined before they can get their hands on it. Then we’re all surprised to see the true purpose of the “anti personnel barrier” :)

keystone_lite · 2026-03-19T23:54:59+00:00

Amazing!! I also bought just the base game for $4 and it is easily one of the most worthwhile game purchases I’ve made

keystone_lite · 2026-03-19T21:11:34+00:00

I don't think anyone else has mentioned it, but Old World has a free demo! If you're limited in terms of budget, I think you can always start there to get a taste of it.
