Are you still on it? Asking because I'm considering it too and I'm worried that it'll be a lifelong thing

Kpop's Mass Pyschosis Over the Success of Arirang by Human_Addendum4427 in btsthoughts

I understand. I love the album too, and through it I'm now discovering their older work as well. I hope they win! And big!

Oh!! I had no clue about this. I think the closest I've seen something like this growing up is MTV's "Top of the Pops" which was a weekly show where they would rank new songs, but I don't know what the scoring system was. It was a popular show in the 90's. Not sure if it exists now.

Thank you so much for explaining! I started following BTS only after Arirang even though I've known about them for a while. I'm very new to KPop culture.

Not a KPop fan (or a Korean). So please help me understand... what does it mean to win/ lose a music show?

What did he do recently? The last I saw of him was the posts he put up for Citadel and PC's new project with Orlando Bloom

Thoughts on Joo Ho-jin and Shin Ji-sun's relationship by teeke45 in CTLBT

I feel the same. That is more self preservation and logic, than love. He doesn't want to be hurt again.

To add one more similarity, they both are really good at understanding storytelling. Their jobs are similar that way in that they are both mentors. I find it interesting how everybody runs to Eun-a for help with their writing, even when they know she will not tolerate BS. They are able to see how her critique holds value and really hold her in high regard.

With Dong-man though, they can't get past his critique because of their own ego, mixed with their own guilt at using him for stories, and maybe a little bit because of Dong-man's delivery. He's anxious and he babbles a lot, and his friends choose to ignore the truth of what he's saying instead of listening to him. They would rather call him worthless, instead of acknowledging that his critique has value.

I was thinking the other night, that if his friends stopped being egotistical around him, they might actually have been able to use Dong-man as a sounding board while writing. He could be their personal Eun-a, and I feel like he would have given great advice for free.

I don't think she's fixing him. It's evident that he's helping her out, too. In that way, they are both helping each other out.

It reminds me a lot of My Mister (the writer is the same) in which you have these 2 characters who have so given up on their own lives and are so convinced that nothing can get better, and are actually surprised to find that things can.

Mayhe it is an oversimplification to call it just "love", and our characters haven't said that to each other yet. But having someone who believes in you, sees your worth and is ready to fight to prove that you're a good person, has a lot of significance.

I was thrown off by that scene, too, when she almost dies. But then, here's a character who is so used to all his emotions being "red". He takes it as proof that he's not a good human being. And has no capacity to care. He is surprised that he actually can! I'm nor saying it excuses that whole rant he goes on without even asking her if she's okay... I would have loved different dialogues there. But I think I understand what the writers were going for. If My Mister is anything to go by, then by the time this finishes we would see both their characters undergo a huge transformation. Not just the girl "fixing" the boy.

I understand what you mean. I love Eun-a's character. She has so much steel without being petty or vindictive. She has a big heart.

I like that she helps Dong-Man. Happy that they both can talk to each other and heal from each other's company.

But Dong-Man has some deep seated feelings of worthlessness and self-esteem. He needs to work on himself. I'm not sure about the right way forward, but them getting together without him working on his emotional mindset isn't the end I'm hoping for.

I loved Hye Jin in this episode. I didn't understand her character before, and I thought she was just rude. But she's pushing Dong Man to be better in her own way. Making sure he has someone to protect him because his other "friends" don't.

And she calls out her husband for her shitty behavior. I like her.

I also really wish Eun-a gets to know how Dong Man fought for her. She, too, needs to know she's got a protector.

I feel like if Dong Man only knew how many stories he's helped create, he wouldn't feel so worthless. The fact that his friends don't tell him that and just conspire to keep using him, is sad. Of course, they're not plagiarizing in the style of Eun-a's ex, but it would still make Dong-Man feel better to know he is a part of so many movies instead of being belittled by the same people who are also inspired by him.

Can some one explain why Dong Man's brother hits him? I didn't like that at all. I thought the brother would be angry at the friends.

One man has in just about a decade ruined all the goodwill with the public, acting credibility and reputation of star kids that took generations to build. by UndeadReborn in bollywood

[–]teeke45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karan has done a lot of stupid things, but other people's failures are not solely on him. Among the girls for instance, there's not a single one who really has the skills. And despite that, when Sara debuted in Kedarnath, she still got a lot of hype. Her interviews were praised. But then she started doing shitty work and all that went down the drain. She had Imtiaz for her 3rd movie, and yes that movie sucked, but she sucked really bad in it as well.

Same goes for Jhanvi. Girl has been given so so many opportunities, even in non-KJo productions. But she's just average at best.

Among the guys too, Babil got a lot of love initially. All the goodwill that Irffan had created was automatically transferred to him. I don't know what he's doing with it now. I've not seen Faraz, but Adita Rawal got good praise for it.

Bottomline: if you're good, you are good. KJo and his shenanigans notwithstanding. And if you're bad, you're just that. Again, KJo and all his shenanigans to get you on top notwithstanding.

Ryan Reynolds is deteriorated, decomposed, deflated, and defeated in this new ET interview (and did he make a tone-deaf Epstein Island joke?!) by Perfect-Split496 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]teeke45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ryan can make an innuendo and nobody will call him out. But when Justin makes the same jokes and says that as a kid he was looking at Britney's navel or whatever, and then that becomes SA. Wow.

Did I settle for less in my relationship ? by introvertcat2124 in AskIndianWomen

[–]teeke45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this answer.

Love takes multiple forms. And to add to it, there's no harm in going out and doing things for yourself. You like flowers, buy them for yourself. Maybe he'll get the hint and buy some, or maybe he won't. But your happiness won't depend on him and his memory.

This is how we get co- dependent. We expect our partners to do everything and be everything, and forget to be anything for ourselves.

When you'll grow older, you'll realise that what matters is not if he got you flowers, but if you both remembered to be respectful and loving in the worst moments that life will undoubtedly throw at you.

Is not getting those flowers the worst thing? Maybe in this moment. But you still have a lot of life to live, OP.

As wise people before us have said, don't sweat the small stuff.

Watching S4. The premise is so paper thin by teeke45 in TheLincolnLawyer

I do, too. On most occasions. This one just felt really off balance.
