Czech and american politics be damned and now I definitely will not watch football when gay men are being attacked in St. Petersburg.
Damn it, I need more time for dramas, how do I live through this.
I agree that politics are not always great, but why exactly should Czech politics be damned? I’m just curious, I’ve tried to search for it online, but nothing came up. 🙂
Basically our president makes us a joke. What kind of public figure burns big red boxers (revious protest and joke from artist group – installed them instead of presidential standard) publicly? Also calls journalists idiots routinely.
And our own oligarch and now prime minister, who missused european funds, will form his government with the help of communist party (a first from Velvet revolution).
I should not get too deep into this, I am too angry.
Oh, I haven’t realized you’re from the Czech Republic and was wondering why someone would be mad at Czech politics. Now it makes sense…
I happen to live in CR as well (hey there!), so I know what you’re talking about (even if I don’t follow politics much).
I am honestly not surprised anymore by our president’s antics and I’ve given up any hope of him being dignified. No comment on Babis.
I hope you’ll be able to watch some dramas to relieve your stress… Just don’t watch anything political. 😛 On the other hand, City Hunter might be fun, he’s destroying politics there… Or just watch a good rom-com. 🙂
Haha, you live here!
Well, who else cares about czech politics. I was just momentarily overwhelmed, not that I get that surprised anymore.
I might follow your suggestion once my korean lessons end next week. I tried City Hunter few year back and was not able to finish the last episode. But that was before I even liked LMH.
So true – who else would really care.
Oh, you’re studying Korean? That must be fun.
I watched City Hunter just because of LMH, but didn’t enjoy it that much because I was expecting more romance and less blood. And the last episode was a bit brutal, so I think I understand why you haven’t finished it.
Korean lessons are fun but it is quite hard and I don’t have as much time for it as I would like to.
Yes, too much blood and revenge for my taste at that time. But my taste has evolved since then.
Do you take the lessons at a language school or somewhere else? Just curious. I took a course for beginners at university, but it was only the basics.
I think I am able to enjoy action dramas and dramas with less romance much more now, so I should give City Hunter another chance.
1. term I was on King Sejong Institute, but they changed lectors and did not get approval from Seoul in time so 2. term I tried Korejsky Institut Praha. Good but fast, books from Yeonsei University.
@cherryinbloom Don’t we all come here to hide from the cruel reality? 😆
@allphryne You should watch at least the first two episodes (first hour), it feels unreal to hear Czech in a K-drama. Even Seo Kang Joon is speaking it! Lucky lucky people who got to be there…

Thanks! I can’t say I’m going to try it out, since I don’t live in Prague… Did you have to buy the books yourself?

I suspect a few more faces on DB, but I am probably mistaken.
Hi @cherryinbloom, it never occured to me that you might be czech.

@allphryne @estee Let’s not spoil Dramabeans with Zeman, I come here to hide from the sad reality of our country LOL 😆
I think they only shot Are You Human Too in Karlovy Vary but Seo Kang Joon did visit Prague, I saw some pictures of him in Praha.
