I have seen stranger and it is wholly awe-some & epic, in unimaginable ways. . . (Love the girl 👧 who, at the end; well if you haven’t see the hole shoe? Never mind, don’t want to ruin anything..;)) ~*~ there’s another - whose name is escaping me - but it’s about a time portal of sorts, and a communication device, or mechanism of sorts - a walk-in talkie that can be used to go in between the 80’s and now, to try to solve a crime. And I can’t think of the name of it because I haven’t watched any of these on. Netflix in over a year? But it might’ve been @tunnel” or something or other, unless I’ve mixed up the title with anothe—there is also a remake that is good; but not great, as the original is the Korean version, I (again) think! It’d be the earlier of the two - though I don’t believe they have the same name, if you were to start watching them , you’d very soon see the similarities! ; )
No worries, I've finished Stranger now. Not sure which girl you mean? The police girl is quirky and funny. The other girl, who wanted to clear her father's name - not sure about that storyline, it was just a distraction in the end. I'll look out for that time travel one!

Yeah, I plan to look through a lot of these! I'm watching Vagabond at the moment (I love those cheesy and awkward rom coms but my husband needs a break from them!! *hysterical). Vagabond is really good though - really strong story and filmed in different places so must have a big budget. I'm usually clenched at the edge of my seat though, it's relentless.

@BlueGreen , I looked it up the other day - & its actually called, “signal!” :^) // through if memory serves, the tunnel one is good as well, and maybe have a similar storyline or feel to it! I can’t honestly remember, for sure... it was last year; and a lot of things have happened since then! :D
They both look good, thanks MrBG! I can't remember stuff from last week, never mind last year! *hysterical

Also, by-the-way, @JDot told me about how she was in Psy’s Gangnam Style video! ;^).. // pretty sure I spelled that all wrong! lol 😆 apparently there was another one where she sings, or something too, which reminds me... I’ve still got to track that one down! It’s back earlier — buried deeply by now, at this point; it’s moving so fast 💨 ; ) — where she told me so! :D
here you go

Thanks 😊 I will have to check those out — & no! I know almost nothing about Hyuna, other than seeing her on a couple of game shows, like Men of A Mission/Knowing Bro’s. A couple of years ago (I know she’s been on since with her boyfriend, or some guy it looks like she’s close with - so I’m presuming it’s not say, her brother!)! :D And I like Suzy a lot, too... in fact saw her first some place else, don’t remember if it was a tv show or movie, but it was definitely an acting thing. And only later—much later came to find out she actually sang and danced (perhaps they all did?). And no, I didn’t know that about the foreigner experience. That is very sad; but also, believable at the same time, given how you explained it... just unfortunate really, it sounds so beyond “petty” from the outside, looking in— hopefully she didn’t take it to heart, too much, and suffer from it!
Yeah hyuna has a boyfriend. Maybe you saw Suzy in drama series Dream High or Big or when she had a surprised guesting i think in My Love from the Stars... she’s also in the movie Architecture 101, in Miss A though Fei is my bias lol, even though Suzy is the popular one and called as “nation’s first love”
In S.korea if you want to become an artist, signing up with an agency would help you achieve you goal — in the agency however will not only train you according to what type of artist you want to be, dancer, actor, singer, model — the agency will train you in everything, even teach you different languages - however this would be your entire life now, you may not see your family for a long, they might train you for a decade or so until the agency thinks you’re ready to debut as an artist — and sometimes they will assign you to a different career (like hwayoung of T-ara she wanted to become an actress but the agency put her in the girl group instead so she was unhappy but that doesn’t justify the extent of what she has done) — or if they see your potential in other stuff that is when they will encourage/allow you to not only be a kpop stars but to land roles in commercial ads and tv shows/movies and guest in variety shows.

it’s hard to be a foreigner now or be of different race at this time of pandemic. Also the racism against lisa may have something to do with race supremacy as well among us asians. Words can scar, look at the second gen kpop artists, they were happy at the peak of their career but now — all the criticisms and backlash they received still latches to them to this day

I guess it depends on the drama. The ones I've watched have been pretty good. We did start one, I can't remember now, and it was too silly. Descendants of the Sun was probably the one I most cringed at but loved it!

What else was really funny , so not a drama, was also on Netflix a couple of years ago, I think ... was called “sound of your heart,” or something like that—& then they did a “reboot more recently,” which, what was so funny about that, was that I liked the lead guy from the first, and the lead girl from the second. I think she may have been in Girls Generation, but was not one of t he ones I’m more familiar with. But funny as can be in that one - reminded me, slightly, of Han ye Seoul in “Madame Antoinette,” when she got angry and freaked out..;^). But overall, I’d say the first was better because of this. And the side or supporting players were good in both, I remember the brother from the first, and I’ve seen him in a bunch of other things, serious too, perhaps both films and tv. You may prefer the 2nd if you’re after looks. But it’s a little bit like watching a handsome, romantic lead, try to play a comedian. So for me anyway, it didn’t work. But the first guys on a bunch of game shows. So... right in his wheel house! ;D

Oh my goodness!!!! There’s so much to unpack there. And I’ll say that I didn’t know about 90% of what you just wrote: so it is all so very dense, and intense! But good..;) I’ll probably be back if i can think of anything to add as I attempt to process it... :D

But that is one thing that’s incredibly funny to me, is that how here in ‘The States,’ some can have the opinion that they’re for the most part, more or less, all the same (Asians—regardless of which country they come from...) // so, in other words, China and Japan would be considered rather similar, when in fact, as I’ve been told on more than one occasion, and from what I can gather—those two cultures are almost nothing alike at all... but in our defense, it’s the lack of exposure to people from there, or who were raised there, or had parents who grew up there - and then were willing to pass on that knowledge of their heritage (which is not always a given, nor is it that it will be well received by their children). . . So, you’re best bet would be to live in an area where there are a great many or number of these folks, like the coasts (East / West), or larger Cities, perhaps. But even then, they still make up such a small segment or percentage of the population that you almost might have to go out of your way / seek it out, in order to acquire the knowledge , in the absence of some close interpersonal relationships with some that can share some of the details from their respective counties. . :^)
