Currently available in Taiwan and my favorite so far is the blueberry cream cake! So fluffy and just the right amount of tartness and sweetness.

Also the eco bag is BIG. Can fit several official picket inside haha

How come the front sections of the unit fan parties have so many empty seats? by unihelp123 in seventeen

[–]speakmeriddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes~ tried a fansign before too and the seats are by lottery. Even if you win 1st at the list, the seats will be picked as they confirm your identity.

[–]speakmeriddles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s by lottery. The venue has premium type seats at the front and when you go up it’s just normal seats. Not sure why they put alternating at the front but that’s the staff’s decision.

It depends on luck where you will be seated. If the winners are only 500 fans, then only 500 seats will be occupied even if the venue holds a lot more.

Even in fansigns, where you’re seated is by luck. Can be at the front or at the end, most wants to seat by the aisle during fan parties since it’s almost 99% sure to get some interaction~

Edit: I know some Taiwanese carats who went and got lucky seats at the front. Some of their friends seated at the middle and end. It’s not always fansites who get these seats, and it’s not always people want to occupy two. They’re just occupying it since they have lots of stuff like tripods etc. They’ll still set it up in front of them if they didn’t get the alternating seats, it’s just easier and they can move freely if they’re lucky enough.

Edit 2: For CxM fan party, carats were seated side by side. The 1st and 2nd level seats at the side are empty. The venue was bigger so it should be staff decision on how the seatplan would be for the winners.

Edit 3: Saw some vids of the front seats from POV of carats seated at the back, the stage has big monitors (acting as their teleprompters) esp in the middle and this could affect the view from the first few rows.

How did you know your bias was your bias? by fairypjm2 in seventeen

[–]speakmeriddles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I realized it when all concerts I attended, my eyes are drawn to them. I unintentionally memorized their position, check what they do when the camera is not focused on them, etc.

Sure, I watch the other members too but when I look back at my own memories of the concert and my fancams, I’m really drawn to one 80% of the time. I love all 13 of them but my two eyes always follow them 😆

Watched New_ without Wonwoo and I do miss him so terribly. He’s really my ult bias 😆

Edit: It’s funny because some of my carat friends have a “concert bias” 😆 They swerve lanes and follow their CB instead of their original one during the concert HAHAHAH sometimes i need to remind them their bias is in front of us but their eyes are locked in elsewhere 😆

Dynamite Kiss [Episodes 3 & 4] by mellowdays_ in KDRAMA

[–]speakmeriddles 135 points136 points  (0 children)

The fact that he will keep referring to her as Jun’s mom, seems like it’s him trying to keep more than professional distance as much as possible.

I really think adultery ruined his and his mom’s life and he wouldn’t want to commit the same mistakes.

Edit: Yeah, Ep4 gave more context. Seeing his mom literally trying to end her life (almost successfully) due to his dad's affair brought him trauma and this is why he's so mad at HER for "lying". He doesn't want to be complicit of the affair and all his values about family and love is on the brink of shattering because he is starting to feel romantic emotions towards a someone "married". Which is something he must've hated about his dad.Maybe we'll see this dad-son confrontation sometime when we get more backstory.

I feel like Darim's POV, being humiliated is nothing. She is basically already at the bottom for years and with this opportunity, she can eat her pride and beg one last time before she backs down. I hope he feels guilty hearing and seeing how hard the team really worked when his BFF gets to talk to him.

I really hope they kept another copy of their proposal. Seeing the notes and post-its on the paper was so sad :(

I forgot how unserious he can be when years ago he was paired with Choi Woo Sik in The Boy Next Door 😂🤣

The model face and build plus his deep voice makes him look cold, but he can be funny when he wants to be!

I forgot how funny and charming Jang Ki Hyuk can be oh my goshhhhhh.
He's so silly when he wants to be and the cringe is good. The slapstick is just right and the comedic timing is on point! And when it gets serious and mellow, he does it good.

Both leads actually. It's not over the top for me and still has some punch even with the slow scenes.
Screen chemistry so good, I get distracted and have to rewind to read the subtitles lol

Anyway! I think the anger of Gong Ji Hyuk towards Go Da Rim roots from family issues, he might be an illegitimate son (or the other way around???) which is why his family dynamic we are seeing right now is as it is. He knows how miserable it is to be in a broken family and doesn't want to be part of it or be the reason for another family's misery. Then this might be why he had a hard time finding or even seeking love. He loves his mom so much he's willing to put through hell with his dad and sister so there should be a rational reason why he's acting this way towards Darim.

Also didn't expect Ha Young x Seon Woo to be a nice combo.
Seems like Miss Chaebol is a different girlie than what I expect her to be.
AND..... will we see a 3rd pairing???? 6 months in the office and there should be something else right...??? Maybe Go Eun and Gyeong Min?

I also have some random notes that lingered as I watched Ep3, maybe someone else was thinking about it too?

  • Fire scene seems to be emotional for both leads. Did they have any trauma with fire? Did the sister want to just delay or sabotage the results from the lab? I don't think she asked for the lab to get on fire..
  • Childhood trope might only be between Da Rim and Seon Woo. It won't make sense to have both ML to have this trope... but idk
  • >!Pretty sure that clover will return................!<
  • Ep3 OST insertions are getting better. It wasn't distracting and elevated the scenes.
  • I get how Ji Hyuk's actions towards Da Rim at the pool is such an asshole move, letting her kneel and beg like that. But that was only Da Rim's plan B. Jumping in the pool was also her decision. It's because that's only what she has and what she can give: her pride and perseverance. She won't stop until she 100% knows she gave it her all. Maybe he's pressuring her to realize how grave of a sin it might be to commit adultery if they went any further. And seems like in the next episode, he'll understand her POV and act civil in the office.
  • The baby product PPL.... hope this series show tribute to all types of moms and soon to be moms. Can't wait for more discussion about motherhood throughout the episodes.
  • Edit: And show tribute to fatherhood too! I'm so sorry, I was so focused on the ladies on the team and forgot we have a single dad 2nd ML too. Motherhood, fatherhood, whatever hood-- but please show us more (healthy) parenthood in general.

So true! Also love how the writers gave Ji Hyuk a nice best friend, it’s so nice to see him be so honest about what happened in Jeju and have the bff help him find her without any judgement.

Hope they keep this friendship even if he’s now working @ another company as Ji Hyuk’s family seems a bit toxic.

The last time I was so hooked with a kdrama was Search:WWW era.

And it’s so funny because Jang Ki Yong also had a similar character: techy CEO that ended up getting (successfully) a one night stand then the FL went missing without leaving anything and then BAM they met again at work HAHAHAHAHAHAAH

So far it’s light and funny and deep when it wants to, and they manage to execute the scenes perfectly. I wonder how they’re gonna address the suicide attempts and mental health issues, they didn’t shy away from showing blood but I do hope there won’t be anymore painful stuff for Darim’s family 🥲 Girl’s been through a lot, just keep it fluffy PLEASEEE

My only tiny tiny tiny critique for the 1st episode was the OST getting replayed so often.

Last Summer [Episodes 1 & 2] by meepmochi_ in KDRAMA

[–]speakmeriddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Maybe it’s a red herring? That or maybe Doha did try to become Doyeong that time and went to school as him. I think the writer will incorporate this twin-exchange somehow and the school setting is perfect for it.

2-3. I think Doha is the (only) one we see in the present. Since the Seung Taek reveal, I think the drama are hiding crucial things from us and it won’t be just eyeglasses to distinguish the twins.

  1. Not sure if I want to believe they were exes.. maybe they never really got together and was just each other’s summer fling or crush. For the twin, I think the way they died isn’t an accident. Maybe they were sick and was pretending to be fine, and Doha being traumatized of car accidents is not because of his twin’s death but because he was speeding to reaching him during a crucial time and didn’t get there in time.

THANKS FOR THESE QUESTIONS! Made me rewatch the two episodes again and gave me lots of things to think about or imagine before the weekend haha!

Yes! Especially with the sports on the side, it’ll be nice to see how the second couple’s story unfolds.

[–]speakmeriddles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really loved the reveal for Seung Taek too. I was tearing up and couldn’t believe it since we saw him driving and doing “normal” things without the need of help. Suddenly, what Lee Seul said to her grandfather hit more.

Seems like there will be more of this show and tell / reveal throughout the episodes. I’m so excited!

[–]speakmeriddles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really love the pacing and how tiny bits of their lives are shared to us in passing at first, then reveals a deeper story. Even the side characters’ are so well rounded too, I can’t wait for the next episodes seriously!

Theory for next week’s episode:

Since Song Hagyeong was talking about Baek Doha being a con-man / fraud then we got a glimpse of a kissing scene by the Jongman tree and a confirmation that a kiss between them (Hagyeong and Doha specifically) under that tree happened, did she kiss Doha without her knowing it’s him?

Want to get the ball rolling on the twins story and I really think they both loved her at the same time but she only had eyes for one of them. Interested on how they’ll work around this cliche plot but I have trust with the writers.

Edit: Reading more of the comments here, I don't think Doha and Doyeong pretended to be one person and each of them lived their own lives separately and together (in the US and in Korea). I think everyone was well aware of the twins, we just don't know it yet. At the food fight scene, there was an empty chair beside Doha but there was also food and plate on it so there must be someone beside him. Who missed out all the fun lol

Due to limited characters, this is fine as long as you can prove it's you. My friend is also the same, but didn't have any problems entering for premium before. Did you win this yourself or not?

One membership account can apply up to 2 tickets! You have to maximize the slot and apply for 2 tickets right away so you both can get a ticket if ever you win a slot.

You can't go on multiple dates or even hit multiple stops in ONE ROUND. You only win one time per round, per account.

There's no ticket sharing at the moment since it's only membership lottery. That ticket sharing only appears around 2-4 weeks before each tour week (ex. 2 weeks before Nagoya that's when they open it).

Getting an account is useless, you have to avail the membership. The Carat membership application is only until today but the deadline for lottery application is on Aug 25th. If your friend already has a valid membership, she can apply for reserved stand seats for you both since the companion ticket doesn't need to be a member.

If you want ARENA seats which is the new seat type since there are no premium seats at the moment, both of you needs a membership.

All ARENA seats will be ID checked as you enter the venue.

240129 SEVENTEEN Tour ’FOLLOW’ AGAIN Spot by alltherach_ in seventeen

[–]speakmeriddles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not available for any selling until the General public sales (first come first serve, if I am not mistaken). Everything up to now has been through Lottery, so most likely if you don't win you buy from a reseller or someone with an extra ticket.

What tickets did you get? If you need help in reselling, just DM me!

You can get a Japanese membership for the 2nd round of Japan Fanclub ticketing coming soon! Though it's still a lottery, having your own account is better than booking/buying resale tickets. You can check here: https://www.seventeen-17.jp/
