I actually appreciate that Cdramas do give us opposite gender platonic relationships AND do them justice/write them well. Like, people of the opposite gender CAN be simple friends and it doesn’t have to be anything else
Loved the way the show gradually revealed more about Feng Bao Bao, not only her own history, but also her relationship with Zhang Chu Lan. She was as much the lead as he was — “I Am Nobody” applies to her, too, in a different but equally valid way.

Very. Especially in older generations who aren’t very open to acknowledge that the world has changed and there are better ways to communicate than telepathy.
I think their idea of being considerate means to be able to know how the other person feels and what the best way to deal with the situation is without open conversation with the person. In other words, to assume. I think being considerate means rather differently from this.
mmmmm agasshi!
if you make lasagna, i’ve been putting a layer of pesto in the middle (spread on the mozzarella and put a noodle layer over it so it doesn’t get smushed in the meat sauce)…
or you can use roasted chicken chopped into pesto salad…
but i freeze pesto in ice cube trays, then put in baggies in my freezer – so i use one or two cubes when i make my marinara sauce…

LYOL Out of touch chaebol men and women. “What we got here is … failure to communicate” . Tune in next week to see Soo Kyung sink deeper into Chaebol Marriage in Name Only madness.
LYOL Soo Kyung is singing the My Man Won’t Touch Me Blues . If there isn’t a song titled that there should be. Sex with Tae-min would probably be weird anyways.😵💫Poor Soo Kyung !
As a reminder, tho, John…the only image I have ever had to take off of my imgur account because it marked my whole collection of LYOL images as explicit content??
Glad to see Japanese taiga drama Hikaru Kimi e Ep2 subbed. The costumes are nice.
They were looking fine while scheming and plotting power plays in the court.
A funny thing, invited to lunch, Glynis thought Walt Disney was offering her the role of Mary Poppins. Mr. Disney mentioned how song writers had written a song just for her …. And would like to hear it once lunch is over, causing the writers to furiously write new lyrics to an existing tune … funny 😄

it happens all the time in asian families. one is not supposed to have to explain – we’re “supposed to know” and act accordingly…

or you’re not supposed to cause trouble/”rock the boat” so you suck it up and remain silent.
very frustrating.
