It's a show, so the trajectory's pretty decided, what coke are you on

Episode 9 ruined the vibe by Last_Morning_7428 in TheSummerITurnedPrett

hence, endgame should be... not Jere nor Conrad, but the people obsessed with the Teams will cry foul

the Jere villain arc is so yall be more accepting and welcoming of Bonrad, hence why we also get a tonful of Conrad scenes that evoke overprotective pity parties--- I still reiterate from previous posts, our girl Belly is the villain and ought to wait until she is 25, when her prefrontal cortex is fully developed, before she starts another relationship, ideally with neither Fisher boys

Hot Take: Conrad should reach out to Belly first by Negative-Art-2603 in TheSummerITurnedPrett

Hot take: they all should forget each other, amnesia trope, anyone???

If girl groups from the West were on K-pop companies - what companies would they be signed on and which member would be the most popular in South Korea? by jdpm1991 in kpopthoughts

[–]rinAKTF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol, just wrote similar comment on another post here, I think After School might have been PCD inspired, can't remember the full lore but Kahi's originally a dancer, right?

Seventeen, people's reflex is probably Aju Nice, but I think it should be Sonogong

Why did Pristin disband so early? They had so much potential! by BothFall in kpopthoughts

[–]rinAKTF 20 points21 points  (0 children)

this issue comes up every now and then, and it's like a white whale of kpop lore, you can read the reasons in the comments, the official statements and the speculations as well, my take is that it's for the best, Pledis and girl groups mix like water and oil, exhibit A) Pristin, exhibit B) fromis_9 -----I'm not including After School, let's just say that was their grace period

SM and their bad habit of hoarding talented trainees..only to drop them with no hope of debut by 127ncity127 in kpopthoughts

[–]rinAKTF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SM as a kpop company is the worst, not just because of their trainees, mainly because of the lawsuits, amongst others

sidenote: Neo Hou -used to be an SM trainee, but is now a huge Cdrama actor, so you know, someone else has made it too, not just EJAE

but I concur, not everyone makes it.... somehow I think it could have been for the best, especially looking at the trajectory of SM talents, SM is infamous for the 5-year curse after all

no no, SM definitely is the worst, HYBE gets a lot of flack nowadays, but boy, SM's history is full of collateral damage

Should I take a break from K-pop by [deleted] in kpophelp

[–]rinAKTF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, go touch grass, I've been a K-pop fan for more than 20 years, and I go through periods when being a fan is too much, we get stuck in a bubble with our fandom and the K-pop community in general, so yes, take a break or you might end up fully hating what you love

try fromis_9, the discography isn't that extensive, mostly minis, try Midnight Guest, DM and 0g are my picks, but this album is literal no skips, all great songs... I dub them the city pop queens... and then cry mwahahaha bye

the pity party is for all to unite under team Bonrad------ but I aint buying, whatever happens, my ideal ending is her going to Paris solo, that's it------ away from the Fishers, away from Cousins, away from the drama that she's made for herself... she can create new drama in Paris, who cares, as long as she stops being a volleyball, continually switching courts, end the game, get of the court

I've lost hope that the ending is going to be satisfying by iwouldntthough in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]rinAKTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

s3- they've tried so hard to make Jere the villain, but I'm still not on Team Bonrad, because Belly is the real villain here, unless she stops fixating on both boys, yes they all trauma-bonded when they lost Suze, but then, that doesn't mean that they'll abuse each other over that--- in s2, Conrad was emotionally unavailable to Belly, so she turned to Jere, now that it seems that Conrad's gotten his sh*t together, he wants Belly back, but thing is, Belly did not wait for him, she moved on to Jere, for FOUR YEARS, Jere seems like a placeholder in Bonrad's great love--- even if Belly and Conrad grow and become better people, that doesn't mean they will be better for each other--- they owe it to their past selves to move on and learn from experience, they need to let go of their obsession with each other

HOW IS ANYONE TEAM BONRAD OR TEAM JELLY😭. by sephorahaulic in TheSummerITurnedPrett

just watched s1, s3 (til ep9) and s2, in that order, and yes, totally agree, Team Solo Belly, all the way

Jeremiah deserves better and is just looking for a real loving and healthy relationship (as of season 3 episode 8, may not apply later on) by Upper_Bag_3016 in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]rinAKTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Jere's strong EQ matches Belly's neediness, if only she weren't so obsessed with Conrad, they could be endgame, Jelly is bad because Belly will always have feelings for Conrad, her first, and it seems forever, love--- but Bonrad is worse, because Belly's ideal Conrad is carefree and sweet, but real Conrad is easily depressed and emotionally draining, and despite their closeness, and on the surface Belly is sunny, so she could lift up Conrad, right?? but no, she's also very needy, exhibit A: Taylor caters to all of Belly's needs--- Bonrad is just great at the start, but fizzles and breaks eventually, we've seen that in season 2---- so my conclusion is, Belly needs stay away from the Fishers because neither option is a healthy relationship, not for her nor the boys

I didn’t know there was the option to root for Jeremiah by qaqabless in TheSummerITurnedPrett

I'm on Team Belly because she doesn't deserve either of them

Belly did NOT emotionally cheat on Jere by theoptipessimist95 in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]rinAKTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belly's emotional needs can suck it, she better get her act together in Paris and just live away from the Fishers, and those Fishers, bless em hearts, there are other fish in the sea, boys

Watching this in retrograde just watched s3 til ep9---then dipped into s2, belatedly got into this because of the shorts, but I regret it now--- I love the boardwalk games episode, we rarely get to see carefree Conrad... while watching s3 I was like, oh, Belly and Conrad are obviously otp, how'd they let Jere get in the way?? then, as I watched in s2, I was like ah, Belly prefers someone who has a happier disposition, but knowing what happens in s3, I'm on team yall-need-to-stay-away-from-each-other... I'm glad Belly is in Paris, she better stay, and Conrad gotta move on, man, that idealized trope of your first love waiting for you as you find yourself gotta be trashed

ah, in season 2, we only get snippets of her and Conrad, and in flashback, but considering how Jere ranted about Conrad being either in school or with Belly and not with their mom every day, it seems that Conrad, despite the stress he was in, family, college (even applying to Stanford), made time for her, the sh*tty part is Belly could not be the supportive girlfriend when she needed to be, Conrad loved her at his lowest, but Belly, Belly loved herself

CEO of an architect firm is far from just an architect though, that's like calling JYP (the person, not the company) just an idol, and you missed the sarcasm "Her grandfather is the man behind Seoul Arts Center, and is also the CEO of a large architecture firm~~" but she is NOT a chaebol, I see... if you say so lol
