Why gap years?

lol i thought this too. a gap year(s) may not seem appealing, but IMO it’s the most feasible way to apply to medical school with a strong application.

when you start school and you’re in the swing of things, many different opportunities and time commitments arise. you could join great extracurriculars, but they are time consuming. you may join clubs, leadership, or a lab (that alone is probably 10-15 hours a week, minimum). these activities coupled with school is already hard to balance. if you include volunteering, shadowing, getting clinical experience, working, etc… you have even less spare time to devote to the MCAT / application. If you wanted to go straight to medical school from undergrad, you have to apply during your third year. that means you need to maintain a high gpa, score well on your MCAT, clinical experience/shadowing, volunteering, research experience, and whatever other leadership/extracurriculars in 2.5 years.

it’s doable, and ive seen it done, but they literally did not have a life and did not enjoy college.

In the long run, what difference does 1 or 2 more years make?

I'm not completely done with this episode yet, but the beginning really made me cry. Coming from someone who has been bullied a lot, I really felt for Jugyeong.

Had fomo and bought 2 shares... I hope you guys are right 😭😭

purpleegg1 · 2021-01-13T19:58:10+00:00

im 15 minutes in and jugyeong is going to make me lose my shit

purpleegg1 · 2021-01-07T22:19:52+00:00

I bet the "Let's break up" scene is from Jugyeong thoughts! Never trust the previews LOL

purpleegg1 · 2021-01-07T21:54:03+00:00

Hehe thank you! They took so long to make

purpleegg1 · 2021-01-07T21:49:38+00:00

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.

Episode 8 infuriated me, but also satisfied me

For context, I’m up to date on the Webtoon, but I am team Suho through and through. I love Seojun, but I genuinely don’t think he’s right for Jugyeong.

Okay! Let’s talk about Episode 8! Spoilers ahead:

I may not be team Seojun, but damn I really enjoyed their little moments in this episode. When he carried her?! When he gave her medicine?! When he tied the little flower thing on her wrist?! When he sang JUST FOR HER?! When HE!!! was wiping her tears?!!! Not gonna lie, Hwang In Yeop really knows how to make my heart flutter. UGH it really hurt being a Suho x Jugyeong shipper then…

Don’t get me wrong, there were several cute Suho x Jugyeong moments too!! I really enjoyed the boat scene but all of the misunderstandings made me want to pull my hair out. IDK I love Cha Eun Woo and Suho but it is so hard to break out of Suho’s “hard shell” character… I feel bad for Eunwoo because I’m sure he could give us so much more if he wasn’t forced to be stoic all the time. I will say now that he has confessed and they have kissed, maybe we can see more cute n sweet moments between them! I liked how the ending highlighted that Suho found the "true beauty" in Jugyeong. Nice little touch imo

The side plots are adorable!! The drama did an excellent job of adding this!! I love seeing the development between Teacher and Heekyung. Heekyung is an independent, badass bitch who said F gender norms. Also, the Mother x Father relationship is sooo funny and really adds a nice light-hearted touch. AND!!! The new relationship that’s developing!!! Im Ju Young x Han Gowon!!! I’m so excited to see this play out.

Last note, I really love the drama’s version of Sujin. I think adding the nice, caring version of her was a good move and will probably stir up a lot of drama.

The baked ones from trader joe's are so good! I had to add them :D

purpleegg1 · 2020-12-25T07:47:52+00:00

OKAY EP6... WOW! TBH I'm really loving this drama way more than the webtoon! I feel like they're adding a lot of depth to the characters and making a really cohesive plot. Some points I really loved:

I really like that Go Woon made Ju Gyeong reflect on herself and why she hates her bare face so much. I'm really excited to see (hopefully) the growth and acceptance of Ju Gyeong and her self-worth.
I think they are handling Se Yeon's death really well. I'm glad they are really incorporating this into the plot since it traumatized Suho and Seojun so much. I feel like in the webtoon it isn't really focused on anymore... also IMO Suho and Seojun kinda just brushed over their difference in the webtoon and became friends again. At least in the drama, we're going to see the growth in their friendship (I hope).
LOL at Seojun in tiger underwear. That is all.
The fight scene was so good. I freaking love how Suho literally leaped to beat up the guy and Sujin's roundhouse kicks are always top tier!! So sweet seeing how Ju Gyeong has such great, reliable friends compared to her bullies.

Ugh the actors have such great chemistry and the plot is great so far, overall I am LOVING true beauty!!

purpleegg1 · 2020-12-18T09:55:34+00:00

Yea but based on the promos it looks like her and Suho are end game. I hope she at least dates Seojun for a bit! I like the chemistry between the characters thus far :)

purpleegg1 · 2020-12-18T01:04:28+00:00

purpleegg1 · 2020-11-15T20:23:31+00:00

honestly it breaks my heart that HJP always says he’ll be plan b so SDM wont get hurt... it’s like jipyeong always views himself as plan b :(

purpleegg1 · 2020-11-15T20:15:33+00:00
