I finally managed to fix my issues with Netflix subtitles on Apple TV! Ever since they moved to their unified player (which sucks) away from the Apple player, the subtitles are thin white text with no outline or background that are almost impossible to read when over light-coloured scenes, etc. 🤬

1/2 - fix in reply

ICYMI: More K-Dramas for Fans of So Ji-Sub, Actor Who Portrayed Agent Kim https://popgeeks.com/more-k-dramas-for-fans-of-so-ji-sub-actor-who-portrayed-agent-kim/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Kdrama #SoJiSub #AgentKimReactivated #Netflix #KDramaFans

@drnya91 effectivement j'ai pas vu Heart Surgeons et tu es même la première à m'en parler 😂
Sinon tant mieux si les scènes irréalistes d'un point de vue médical ne te dérangent pas trop !
Perso j'adore qu'on nous montre les organes et tout le déroulement d'une opération chirurgicale.

Sinon je me pose également des questions sur la médecine traditionnelle coréenne. Acupuncture et toute sorte de toniques pour les maux de cou, l'énergie, etc.

Ça marche vraiment ?

Wenn ihr gerade auf der Suche nach guter Unterhaltung seid: Guckt euch "The Appartment Job" an, ein K-Drama, das gerade auf Netflix läuft (Omu).
Es geht um einen Betrugsversuch, der völlig in die Hose geht, und es hat alles, was eine gute Geschichte braucht: Spannung, Witz, Wärme, Bosheit, Güte, unerwartete Wendungen und einen Schuss Weisheit.

Ich liebs.

@smilematou non, Descendants of The Sun n'est pas proprement une série médicale. Le protagoniste masculin est dans les forces spéciales de l'armée coréenne, tandis que la protagoniste féminine est chirurgienne.
Donc il y a des scènes médicales, mais également beaucoup d'action.
Je dirais 50/50.

@drnya91 d'ailleurs quel est ton avis sur les dramas coréens médicaux ?

My Dramaland Darlings!

I need a quick pick-me-up of a genre that will have me giggling even though life is hard. Happy ending is a must. Action is fine. Romance, Found Family, and Great Friendships are highly desired.

What should I watch?

@drnya91 elle est magnifique en Descendants of The Sun aussi!

I am just loving "A Bona Fide Killer"

The cinematography & writing are top-notch. In eps 7, a character's resolve changes and in the scene, there is this subtle camera shake. I had to go back to see if my TV just glitched, but no, it's there.

Also, depicting a mental health issue with the deafening silence of a snowfall - just beautiful. Throughout there are subtle details and small lines, like "It's not even one bite." that tell you so much.

The FL, Kong Hyo Jin, is not one of my favorites, but she is perfect in this.

《Spooky in Love》: Proof that Less is More in K-dramas

A 12-episode romcom Kdrama done right is a true gem in today's ocean of TV shows.

Je poursuis mon avancée dans le #kdrama #theglory et je tiens à dire que je suis totalement hypnotisé par le charisme aussi froid qu'envoutant de cette actrice : Song Hye-kyo 😻
Purée j'ai des coups de coeur à chaque série que je regarde haha.

Watching "Spooky in Love" with Spanish Latam dubbing.

Is concerning that the translation has errors, the kind of errors that a LLM makes :cat_thisisfine:

Reading Slumps Are Swamps

I’m at a stage where nothing sticks. Perhaps it’s summer lethargy. Or I simply overworked myself and burned out. Like a candle on a dark, dark night. Drip, drip, drip, the energy is dimmer. And there’s an ick for everything. Moving. Sitting. Thinking. It probably sounds worse than it is, really. But it’s just annoying.

Recently, I started watching A Bona Fide Killer, and episode 8 gave me emotional whiplash. I followed Yoo Bona deal with a similar state to what I’m currently experiencing—wasting away on a couch in the snowy mountains. I say similar because unlike her, firstly, I’m not in the snowy mountains, and secondly, I do find myself thorn between two worlds: laying around all day, doing absolutely nothing and simply recharging, or immersing myself in all these little projects I stacked in the back-pocket of my mind.

It’s like Russian Roulette. Doing nothing feels like a loss. Doing something costs energy I need to build up. Two opposites. I basically feel like Xiaohu Dan in this frame. Or another from episode 13 probably (?), where he was faced with two difficult choices.

Anyway, since I didn’t have a trusty minister to hand the choice over to, my only choice was to stubbornly move forward. So, my next logical step was to search for a cure on my bookshelves. Sit and read. Nothing more.

But that didn’t work as well as I expected either. Words kept bouncing right over my head, almost mockingly: “Thought you could catch us? Think again!”

I took a break. Went back again. Rejected.

I picked up another book.

Same story.

And to top it all off, two books I promised to read and review looked at me with eyes of longing. Well, in my imagination, at least. I mentioned a while ago how I accepted two stories for review: one with K-drama vibes, and another one with Sakura blossoms covering a detective’s tracks. Both sounded exciting. But the problem, as Taylor Swift puts it, is me. Or perhaps the timing is not yet right.

Either way, I hope to return to both of them soon (I’ll definitely need to start rereading the previous chapters) and share an impression. All I need is for this reading slump ghost to go away. It makes me feel like I’m trying to cross through a swamp. The mud coils around my legs in tendrils, pulling me down, trying to keep me trapped in the same spot over and over again. And yet, I keep trying to push through.

After a month’s break, I picked up another book, one I tried reading somewhere in the first few months of the year and abandoned yet again on a shelf. A Sorcery of Thorns. It’s still a bit of a battle as words keep skipping rope over my head, but at least I’m making progress. Within this past week, I managed to read a hundred pages. Although I still had to revisit some, as they didn’t quite register into my brain.

Perhaps I need a change of scenery. I’m likely caught in life’s daily grind.

After all…

*** Can We Get Married? (2012) ***
(Viki 20 0:56 eps)

[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]

In this slice-of-life, a young couple decides to get married, but it's not easy when the families & everyone's pride get involved. Misunderstanding after misunderstanding threatens to derail the whole relationship. Meanwhile, her older sister's relationship is falling apart, her aunt is going through a midlife crisis, & her best friend has been betrayed by her boyfriend. From a relationship standpoint, it has something for everyone.

Common in earlier K-drama & especially ones with Jung So Min, there is a lot of hitting & yelling involved especially in the early episodes. This series has one of my most hated mothers ever. I was gasping at the gall. I hated so many characters at the beginning, but, as good dramas do, I started to empathize with some, & even started disliking characters that I had thought were great. From the crazy beginnings, this drama turned out to have some depth & made me reconsider (just a bit) how much I hate the meddling mothers.

Nothing extraordinary on the production. Good casting & acting, if a bit OTT style, with Jung So Min again picking an annoying character that you come to understand.
