[Staff Spotlight] Get to know gummimochi
by gummimochi
Explain your username (and/or avatar).
My username is a combination of my two favorite things: sour gummy worms and mochi. As for the avatar, think of it as my mini-me who is almost always listening to K-pop.
What is the first drama that you watched (or the first drama that made an impression)?
For the longest time, I thought my first drama was Happy Together (1999), which starred familiar names like Lee Byung-heon, Song Seung-heon, and Kim Ha-neul. But the first one I remember watching with my family was First Love (1996) with Bae Yong-joon.
Tell us about a job or two that you’ve had in the past.
In college, I worked at a career center and learned everything there is to know about the job search, the interview process, and resume writing. Sure it was a desk job, but I picked up valuable skills that’ll stick with me forever.
What’s your favorite drama that you recapped?
Ah, that’s a toughie. While I’ll always have a soft spot for Operation Proposal, I’d have to say I loved covering Bad Guys. Totally badass, totally worth your time.
What drama genres do you especially like?
Honestly, almost any drama with flawed heroes, formidable villains, and good storytelling will be up my alley. That can be a great crime procedural, a mystifying psychological thriller, an epic sageuk, or a good ol’ romantic comedy.
What drama genres do you especially dislike?
Weekend family dramas. You know the ones I’m talking about—where everyone is screaming at everyone else over the smallest slight. I’d like to keep my eardrums intact, thanks.
What was your major in school?
Psychology. My mind thrives off of learning about what makes people tick and the experiences that shape who we are and become threads of the story of our lives.
What’s a random skill you have?
Cross stitching, specifically patterns of my all-time favorite subjects, including but not limited to: Rurouni Kenshin, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Vampire Hunter D. How I got into it: A few years ago, I wanted an easy, cost-effective hobby to do and discovered that Sherlock Holmes would cross stitch as a way to relieve stress. So I picked up a needle and have never looked back since.
Favorite non-Korean movie and/or TV show?
Community. #sixseasonsandamovie
Which Hallyu celebrity would you actually want to meet and spend an hour with?
Lee Jun-ki, the Energizer Bunny who would be so very happy and appreciative to meet a fan. And because if I ever met Kang Haneul, I’d be sitting in a corner, hyperventilating.
Which of the 7 deadly sins would be your undoing? (Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, or sloth.)
Gluttony, for surely there are too many delicious cuisines in the world I could ever enjoy in one lifetime.
Your favorite drama has an unholy alliance with your most hated drama and produces a mutant baby drama. Describe the plot.
Drug lord Jung Shi-hyun would teach whiny-why-is-he-famous Cha Young-bin (Entourage) the true meaning of Heartless City by making him run laps wearing necklaces of cocaine.

I have to admit that you're one of the recapper that I'm the least familiar with and I tend to lose sight of you but I found myself identifying a lot to your answers (at one point it was like I was the one giving the answers)! So I was really glad that I got to know you a little better! And for sure, I'll keep my eyes on you from now on! Lol
Besides, psychology is something that I looove!! In an idealistic world where I would be able to clone myself, that would certainly have been my major!
Lastly I wanted to thank you for Chicago Typewriter's recaps! Even though I didn't get to watch it, thanks to you I was able to follow it throughout its run! And I particulary appreciated the last episodes recaps! I think the episodes themselves were beyond great!
Thanks again!

But, dear @gummimochi, with your background, you can psychoanalysis all the character in weekend/family drama.. You might even produce several papers out of it! ^^

When you post on old posts it shows up in the Beanies page however, if a popular drama with lots of comments comes up your message will be buried many pages deep so unless someone scrolls through all the pages your comment won’t be seen or responded to. A lot of staff and beanies have moved on over the many years the site has been active. Circumstances change, people have children, have heavy workloads, have lost their love of K dramas or moved on to other places to share their views. Beanies are doing podcasts, have channels on Youtube or use Instagram. If you only get tumbleweed rolling when you tag someone that would be the likeliest explanation. Some beanies pop in to look at the content but have stopped commenting on the site now. Hopefully you will find some beanies still on the site to engage with as you and your shared interest in the older dramas. If you look in the comments sections of this week’s posts you will see there is a mix of regular names and some that only join for one drama or the weekly subject posts.

It’s a saying associated with back in the day tv. In the old westerns, men would ride into town on horseback, tumbleweed would roll through the streets and it would be eerily silent as if it was a ghost town. Then gunshots would rain down on them as they were ambushed by the locals hidden in the buildings. If you Google tumbleweed you will see plenty of memes and it implies lack of activity or being alone.

Yes that tumbleweed in westerns is a classic trope.
Like the saloon doors (bat wing doors) swinging open and the entire bar hum and clatter comes to a deadly quiet and freezes the tick tock of boots on the floor boards the only sounds.

Neat!!
Liked your best description.
For a sec when I read your metaphor i thought "does a gif - in the form of some bezel - pop up you tag a beanie who's not active anymore"
So many new fangled surprises pop up these days.

I love your example above of the bar hum sudden silence when out of towners stroll in😊 I think that is way more effective in summing up the moment of all eyes on you than the record scratch and silence they often use as the equivalent.
