The type of song you just close your eyes and breathe in the voice and music. Sitting neath a tree by the river’s edge the breeze tantalising your senses. Lovely singer.
An apt description of how we can enjoy this song. I am not a music person, yet I find this one absolutely beautiful. The song is all the more beautiful when I listen to it after finished watching the show.
In a good way, though I would like to recommend people not dropping this in the middle. I think the resolutions of everything are beautiful at the end and it’s worth all the heartache in the first two thirds of the show.
Ok everyone this is the first C drama I tried in ages (I don’t remember the last time I watched one) and I’m liking it so far. The bond between the 3 women is just 💗.
A Dream of Splendor
I’m the biggest champion of non-toxicity!
I always recommend Romance is a Bonus Book. And Still 17 is also full of awesome characters.
I’d love more recommendations, though!
Her Private Life is great at the beginning (until his becomes His Private Life)… With the exception of one character, everyone’s very mature in that drama.
I also love Weightlifting Fairy
@mmmmm I am so glad you asked the question so we got access to these recommendations it seems there aren’t many and those that are around are the older ones some of which I have seen and have on my list to recommend to others. Shooting Stars had the right balance of funny to romance without too much of either that can take the shine off the story sometimes.
Have you see Jealousy Incarnate/Dare to dream that is another one that works. It does have the rude male lead for part of the show though but I found their handling of male breast cancer and exploring the bond between friends worked well. It has more of the tropes than 20th Century Boy Girl.
Thanks! No, I haven’t seen Jealousy Incarnate though I have heard of its name since forever. I think I wasn’t drawn to it earlier because I wasn’t particularly fond of GHJ as an FL because I used to think she wasn’t beautiful. 😀 Now I feel like I can understand her charm more.
Thank you for this recommendation Ally, I am going to be watching this one during the empty week as all my dramas are at the weekend. Just started and I like it so far. I like the dramas with female friendship as well as the romance element.
It really is great. I can’t believe that these gems are not coming up on recommendations or are to old to be on Viki and Netflix when they are better than some of the ones that are on there.
They have an instrumental piece that clearly was an inspiration for one of the motifs in Shooting stars. There is a scene where they argue and then he removes her baseball cap for a kiss that was reminiscent of the Twenty five, twenty one first kiss.
I am loving that I can finally relax and enjoy a straight forward rom com narrative.
I wrote a piece about this one too—if you’re interested…http://www.dramabeans.com/2018/01/in-defense-of-20th-century-boy-and-girl-when-you-dont-want-to-ride-a-roller-coaster/
@ally-le thank you for letting me know I have saved the link and look forward to reading it after I finish watching it this week. I wanted to try to pace myself so I finished it over a couple of weeks but I should have known that the impulse to binge watch would take over because it is so good.
I am due to hit the crisis of noble idiocy any episode now although maybe as there has already been a minor stint of that already we won’t need it when the scandal incident kicks in. I am still struggling to understand why relationships are labelled as scandals if you are famous. It seems to be less in your face tropey than other dramas although they are still there it’s in subtle forms that work so much better. I think that’s why I like it so much.
Me too which is why I was so upset with episode 10 after 9 was so sweet but then they added in the other elements which took away the fun. I am so looking forward to tonight’s episode really hoping it’s back to its usual fun.
Yeah.. it took a weird turn and I wish for more fluff and light stuff in which the show excels. Bring back all the fun!!! (Though I kinda think Manager Yu Sung looked extremely hot when he got all worked up by that strange woman housekeeper).
I am hoping that the clean up we are seeing in episode 11 will be completed in the early part of episode 12 so we can relax back into focusing on the couple and the cameos. I loved the way he reassured her that this was not a fling. I also love that they made his make up and hair much more natural to show it was the real him sitting with her. ❤️
One thing I do like about the show is that the ML and FL have been friends since college. It makes sense if both of them have genuine romantic feelings towards one another as they really know who the other is. I think it is also more believable this way.
I really want 2521 to win awards in this year\’s Baeksang, but I became less confident seeing the nominees (esp. for The Best TV Show). I haven\’t watched Squid Game or The Red Sleeves but heard they were also very good.
At least, please give an award to Kim Tae-ri for her portrayal of Na Hee-do. She was magnificent there. I was so impressed.
Tbh, I think I’ll have a hard time watching her in other projects. It was like she wasn’t acting there but she really is NHD. Her acting is a class of its own.
SG or TRS winning over 25-21 would be the saddest thing ever. SG’s finale destroyed any meaning ir message they tried to build the previous episodes, and TRS is Deok Im not being able to scape from a creep who destroyed her dreams.
I think SG is gonna win tho. That show is way too important for them. It gave them massive international recognition.
Yes, in terms of world recognition it has to be SG. If there wasn’t SG this year, 2521 might have a chance at winning. But again, I wouldn’t be sure if it would win given the public sentiment was not that great re its ending though I loved it to pieces.
You’re right. If there wasn’t SG maybe TRS would win. It even had ratings of 17% and people were pleased with the ending. It even was extended for 2 episodes.
And I just remembered there is the daesang award! If SG wins that award, the rest may compete for The Best Show. TRS still has a chance at winning I think.
Squid isn’t even that good. It was predictable. I already saw the last episode in my brain while watching the first two episodes. Honestly, Netflix should promote shows like Signal. I know it’s not a Netflix original but can’t we get a season 2 for that instead?
A very talented actress indeed. I can’t believe what I just read -she was born in 1990? So she is 31 this year and she looks and acts just like a 18 yo girl in 2521 I can’t believe this.
I think KTR definitely has a shot at winning. But I doubt anuthing would win big against Squid Game. Baeksang may value quality but they do not overlook popularity. Also have you seen Mr Sunshine? KTR was great there too. Though I never completed the drama, KTR, YYS and KMJ were the highlight of that show.
I’m sure SQ will get at the highest award: Daesang. If that’s the case, other nominees might still have a shot at winning The Best Drama. And no, I haven’t watched Mr Sunshine. I hate history so I avoid period dramas as much as I possibly can. Might give in one day basically because of KTR. 🥺😅
Classic issues with the writer. Mr Sunshine was actually a better written Kim Eun Sook drama. However, my main gripe for the writer has always been the middle part. She usually has content for 6 to 8 episodes divided equally in the beginning and end but doesn’t know what to do in the middle. The same happened with this show too, I kept waiting for sth to happen and when it finally did, I was exhausted and dropped. But by any means the show wasn’t bad. But you know when you’re live watching, the wait becomes even more exhausting. If you binge watch, these would just be 4 to 6 episodes in the middle that you can simply fast forward. Also honestly not a fan of the lead actor so I couldn’t buy that pairing.
2521 is a masterpiece. Kudos to the cast and crew. I now put it on par with Forest of Secrets 1.
These are my three favorite scenes from the show:
The scene when YJ suddenly told the camera crew that the left side of HD’s face was the most beautiful angle;
the scene when YJ suddenly tol the broadcasting crew that HD wouldn’t like question no.5 so cross that one out;
The scene when HD read what YJ wrote in her diary, and mentally decided to let the crying YJ in her mind go.
These two have become part of the other’s life is a profound way. I’m glad that YJ knew what HD wanted to tell him before they parted way, and I’m glad that finally after all these years, HD got her so deserved closure. She and He did take part in that farewell. YJ knew, understood, and didn’t blame her for ending their romantic relationship alone.
Finally, some of the questions were answered. I’m happy for HD.
I used to listen to a another singer singing thistle piece, so I searched this song on the internet and I just found out about her. Her voice is so dreamy, so beautiful and is so very wide-ranged.
3 Years ago, I was diagnosed with a strange mental condition called Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood, and my life crumbled. Depression was an alien thing where I lived, and was regarded as the “inability to cope with their own mind” kind of flaw. Nobody really knew what it was, my parents included.
Just a couple of days before I saw my first (and my only) psychiatrist, I developed sudden claustrophobia. I was in a meeting at my office, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe and was fainting. My automatic thought was to call my close friend who was a doctor. She was very worried and told me to go to her. However, I went home. I couldn’t really sleep, and I sweat a lot. Everyday suddenly felt like a never-ending night, and we came to the conclusion that we needed professional help. That was when I was allowed get professional help.
My psychiatrist was a very kind woman. She looked like she was about 15 years older than me, and I felt calmer talking to her. She told me and my mother I was shocked, and told me to take some medication and came back to meet her again in a week. It felt like the world crumbled twice – I, now, was a mental illness patient, and my life would never be the same. I felt like a human flaw, a flawed human being, an incompetent child, and ultimately, a child that let their parents and herself down. I felt like a robot, unable to feel happy – a broken toy of some sort. A person unworthy of love, and ofc incapable of loving. All love evaporated from me. Even when I was prescribed an antidepressant, though the dosage was very small, according to my psychiatrist, I could not cope with the fact that I was depressed.
To cut the long story short, I got better bits by bits. With the professional, medical, mental help and support from people around me (though many of them didn’t know about my condition), irl and on DB, I became better ..and better.. and finally felt more alive again. I had more fun with people and felt like the same ol’ me was back bits by bits. However, nobody, even my psychiatrist dared said I had depression. I associated depression with .. bad things I saw on the media. I suffered not only from the condition itself, but more so from me being unable to accept the fact that I had it. Everyone around me was walking on eggshells, never mentioned anything about it.. I could not accept myself.
While I suffered, I did everything that could help me. I quitted being a lawyer to become something I really liked doing -teaching English. I got my first teaching job at a private institute for IELTS preparation after a 4-month job search and more than 30 copies of resume handed to teaching institutions, and a month or two after that I got my first lecturer position at a university albeit it being a part-time job. I became more and more happy. I regained some of my self-esteem back. Because of my condition, I became much better at cutting toxic things out of my life -be it people, societal values, Kdramas with no prospect of getting better (lol), etc. I could finally see whom I should spend time with, and how I should tend and care for my relationships with them. I cut back on my SNS, and spent time on DB more -the place which I felt like a safe haven and I gained much mental support without revealing who I was, what I was going through. Though we, most of the time, talked about dramas, I gained much wisdom and perspectives from all the comments from Beanies and lurkers all over the world. I began to feel like the world was a much bigger place, and even with this tiny flaw in me, I was still lovable and had the ability to receive and give love. Beans were very kind, and sometimes I did get a lot of support when asked for from them (thanks again to Wishfultoki, Mugy, Jo, Eazal, Lakes, Ms Spazmo, Haraboji, and so many other Beans who have provided me with much support and insight intentionally and unintentionally). I was invited to join the Love, Feb event by Mugy, and I am eternally grateful for it.
After that, I was much more active on Discord. We talked a lot about things. Sometimes, I did agree with them, sometimes I didn’t. But nobody took it as a big deal. There is this sub-channal called The Void, the channel which anyone could post anything on their mind and nobody should reply to it. I learnt to accept all my feelings without labelling them right or wrong. I became more able and able to accept who I was, and by being able to do so I began to love myself again. Being able to love myself despite anything was so empowering. (I have to thank many Beans also who are more open about their mental struggles. Because of their bravery, I learnt to be braver, too, and I can’t thank them any less for it). At present, I still see my psychiatrist every few months. She is a good listener, and she always gives me fresh perspectives which, many times, are different from my own but also insightful.
The first part of my life, I always thought being independent meant not depending on anyone, and that that was considered strength. However, my experiences (and some comments here, though those comments were directed at certain show) taught me that as a human, we have strengths and weaknesses and we rely on other people who are better than us on each specific front. I don’t feel lonely anymore. All my recent accomplishments, I felt like they could have been accomplished because I had so many people with me -cheering me on, being there with me in every step I took. I attribute those accomplishments to me and to every one of them. I am a more grateful human being, and I feel like I am always surrounded with love. Moreover, people here taught me it is ok to love myself regardless of everything. I had no idea how to do that before, but I gradually learnt how to do it – to love and be kind(er) to myself, the concept I never understood how to do it in real life.
This is the longest Love, Feb post from me. I feel like I haven’t really contributed as much as I had wanted to in this year’s Love, Feb tradition due to many responsibilities. I have always wanted to reveal the most vulnerable part of me here for so long, and I’m glad I decided to do so now.
Happy Valentine’s to you all, Beanies, with a forever grateful heart,
5M
5M!!!! even though we have met just some months back, I have always loved your vibes (honestly it had made me energized several times) ,and I have always admired you M. and now after reading this it has doubled or tripled! I just want to say Thanks to you, thanks for being here and thanks for taking me there, thanks for always listening to me, thanks for helping me in small small ways, thanks for always appreciating, complementing me in whatever I do, thanks for being patient with me when I annoyed you by asking small small things abt how to do this and that (aghh I didn’t even knew how to play that song that day in mou, thanks for that too M) thanks for sharing your recipes, and loving mines!
You are a wonderful person 5M! (◕‿◕✿)
I couldn’t write anything yesterday because I cried so much rereading what I wrote and read all the comments. Thank you for being here, Unni, for I am so happy I got to meet you. Thank you for knowing exactly how to write to cheer me up, and for always being my hype squad. (You don’t know but I have also always admired you. Your food looks great, your art, marvelous). Let’s make sure we meet someday because I really want to meet you irl. ♥️
When you explain your condition in detail, including what you felt about yourself after going to psychiatrist, i feel them with all of my heart. I know what it feels like and i’m still in that phase.
Can i join your discord?😂 is it still active?
Thank you for sharing your story 5M. I absolutely love your post. Sending lots of love to you❣
Thank you for your comment and for reading my post, laeonni. I don’t think we did get a chance to properly communicate before this, but I’m glad we met here 😊. I noticed that you are already in our Discord (thanks to @ally-le). I hope you find a lot of support there as well as here.
*hugs* and me sending love and support to you, too ❤️💕💕
Yes this is the first time we properly communicate as i’ve only been here for a month, and few hours ago in discord. I’m glad to meet you too 🙂
Aww thank you so much *hugs* it’s nice to be in here
Thank you, @mmmmm for sharing your struggles. I’m sure many can tell at te to it. Thank you for being a part of this community and I hope you continue to heal! ❤️Happy Valentine’s Day!❤️
Hey 5M. While it was saddening to know that you went through such a difficult time, I am so glad that you found ways to remove toxicity from your life and move forward. You’re a good friend and I hope you have a happy and content life.
Thank you, Mani. You are a good friend, too, and I also hope you have a good and contented life. I think you are a very mature and resilient young girl also.
it’s truly been a pleasure to get to know you M and I’m so happy to hear that you are doing well! thank you for your friendship and I’m wishing you a Happy Valentine’s Day!! ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks a lot, Ayan ☺️. You’ve always been a wonderful Beanie friend and the liveliest Bean on Discord. 🤣 It’s too late to wish you a happy V day, but instead I will wish you happy days ahead for you. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you M for sharing your story 😘 .
Hoping you’ll get better and better and that your job and students will bring you joy everyday.
Love you M 💙
(also sorry M ’cause my memory fish will probably never remember how many M I should write 🙃)
Thank you, Kudo, for reading my story and for your kind words. 🌷
And I love you, too. 💕 I also love all the flower pictures you took for me (and for other Beanies), you have always been very kind (though I kinda miss your food photos). 🙂
Dear @mmmmm you are a sweet and lovely person, something that shines through all your posts. Take care and pat your puppies for me. (Be careful that you only take milk and sugar in your coffee and with your cookies, not Coconut Milk, Sugar and Cookie). BTW you must be a superior teacher because of all your wordle successes). Stay strong because you are.
Thank you, Bo’s Jo. 🥰 I’m taking Coconut milk to the doctor tmr to remove the surgery threads. I’m a mess most of the time, but it’s me. I’m strong sometimes, and I’m weak sometimes. But thanks to people around me, you included, that believe in me (sometimes more than I believe in myself) so I began to believe in myself, too. It’s good to have good people around you.
Pats and sniffs to Coconut Milk from Bo. He was a bit shocked when I told him but then he went back to sleep, dreaming of knock-em-down sheep. The swimming is good to do. Here’s a few cake, like the ones you make, delivered with a jingle.
🎂 🥮 🍥 🥞 🧁 https://youtu.be/G7pv4Qivn_c
Thanks for the cakes! 🤣 If I ate all of them, I’d be so thick in no time! And I love the jingle! The ice cream vans here had a different jingle when I was a kid (there aren’t ice cream vans around here these days). But why didn’t Bo take this seriously? Why did he go back to sleep and dreamt of sheep so soon? Coconut Milk might be losses! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bo might be a little self centered and lacking in empathy and imagination. His first, second and third thoughts are food, after that it’s hunting (things that scurry along the ground, cats and birds). Then it’s frens, so Coconut Milk comes after hunting, but I’m sure he’d be charmed if he met her (after much sniffing, ofc).
And here I am, a mess in tears while reading your post.
You are such a brave and loving person.
The way you described your struggle about your condition… you put in words how I am feeling right now.
I’m so glad we got to cross paths in this big world. You make it a happier and brighter place and I love being your friend.
Thank you, Eaz, for always being there for me. I cried so much every time I reread my post, too! 😅 I guess some wound needs exposure in order to properly heal. I learnt to be braver from people around me, many of them are here or on Discord. And I LOVE being your friend, too. 🙂
Because I went in Cha Junhwan’s rabbit hole, I came across Yuna Kim’s skatings. I can’t be more in love with her than what I’m feeling right now. She is called a queen for a reason.
Yes, and the moves are also precise and delicate. I couldn’t get enough reading all the comments thinking of her still as the Queen even she retired years ago!
Yes, I can see similarities between the two. But after watching some of the best performances of Yuna, I can see that Cha Junhwan has yet to learn a lot more in order to reach her level. Their moves are delicate, and I can see that he is one talented person who has a lot of potential, but I still see room for improvement on his part. Yuna’s programs are very precise and clean, I hope Junhwan can reach or even better, exceed that level.
It feels like it has been a very long time since I watched Bossam with Beanies. If anyone knows me, they know how little interest I have for sageuks in general. But the thing is that so many Beanies whom I liked interacting with seemed to be interested in this one, that was why I gave it a try. I must say that I’m still burnt by the fact that TWO of my most beloved characters got killed off near the end; one of them is the Best Assistant in my opinion.
Yes, I’m talking about the King’s most loyal guard. I can’t even find any pics of this character in my internet search just now. However, I remembered being extremely sad when he died defending his master, the King. He is the King’s true friend. Talking about the end of this character still makes me a bit mad: why do you have to fight with your swords again the enemies that use guns? WAEEEEEE
Why? Haraboji 🥺 isn’t Dr Ye cute and kind? Min ho always ends his sentence with “just kidddingg” and I thought I would have smacked him so many times already if I were the FL.
Apologies. I like to drag this out every now and then.
“Lily Magnolia” by Do Jong Hwan in episode 14 was my favorite poem in the drama and I loved Jang Dong-yoon’s narration.
I give the director and production staff of APAD a high marks for the care taken in presenting the poems in the drama. This video is just one example of the quality of the presentations.
@mmmmm, @ndlessjoie,
If Dr. Ye and Bo-young have a parting of the ways I don’t think you would see Dr. Ye sitting on a step crying his eyes out like Min-ho.
And yes Mugs I too have to let it go!
From Bo, ” Cookie, you are so pretty. I like your frendly smile. Come to NZ soon, so we can run and play and sniff. I’ll keep some fresh rabbits for you. Stay off the wurmz, so your breath is fresh.”
From me: Btw is Cookie a Staffy? Bo has some Staffy and Labrador genes. That’s why he is hungry all the time. @mmmmm I can’t imagine how you could not cuddle up to this bundle of love.
Hi Bo. I eat everything. I tried worms, yes, but they don’t taste good anymore. Now I want to try something new. Rabbits sound good, but I don’t think I can go to NZ because I’m overweight. My owner is afraid I will have obesity or diabetes soon if I continue eating everything like this, and no I won’t go on diet.
I love cuddling her! In fact, my sister thinks she is the best for cuddling. That’s why she keeps giving her food because cuddling a chubby dog is more “satisfying” than the leaner ones.

I am hoping that the clean up we are seeing in episode 11 will be completed in the early part of episode 12 so we can relax back into focusing on the couple and the cameos. I loved the way he reassured her that this was not a fling. I also love that they made his make up and hair much more natural to show it was the real him sitting with her. ❤️

One thing I do like about the show is that the ML and FL have been friends since college. It makes sense if both of them have genuine romantic feelings towards one another as they really know who the other is. I think it is also more believable this way.

I really want 2521 to win awards in this year\’s Baeksang, but I became less confident seeing the nominees (esp. for The Best TV Show). I haven\’t watched Squid Game or The Red Sleeves but heard they were also very good.
At least, please give an award to Kim Tae-ri for her portrayal of Na Hee-do. She was magnificent there. I was so impressed.

Kim Tae-ri in 25 21 is a clear case of her being the best actress in her generation. No context!
mmmmm
April 12, 2022 at 6:00 AM
Tbh, I think I’ll have a hard time watching her in other projects. It was like she wasn’t acting there but she really is NHD. Her acting is a class of its own.

I also love Park Se Wan who becomes her character. She deserves more drama leads in dramas the quality of Just Dance.

SG or TRS winning over 25-21 would be the saddest thing ever. SG’s finale destroyed any meaning ir message they tried to build the previous episodes, and TRS is Deok Im not being able to scape from a creep who destroyed her dreams.
I think SG is gonna win tho. That show is way too important for them. It gave them massive international recognition.
mmmmm
April 12, 2022 at 11:53 AM
Yes, in terms of world recognition it has to be SG. If there wasn’t SG this year, 2521 might have a chance at winning. But again, I wouldn’t be sure if it would win given the public sentiment was not that great re its ending though I loved it to pieces.
tabong
April 12, 2022 at 9:11 PM
You’re right. If there wasn’t SG maybe TRS would win. It even had ratings of 17% and people were pleased with the ending. It even was extended for 2 episodes.
Let’s hope Tae Ri wins tho.
mmmmm
April 12, 2022 at 9:14 PM
And I just remembered there is the daesang award! If SG wins that award, the rest may compete for The Best Show. TRS still has a chance at winning I think.

Squid isn’t even that good. It was predictable. I already saw the last episode in my brain while watching the first two episodes. Honestly, Netflix should promote shows like Signal. I know it’s not a Netflix original but can’t we get a season 2 for that instead?

I’m rooting for Kim Taeri as best actress. There is not a single actress that was better than her. Period.

April 12, 2022 at 11:50 AM
A very talented actress indeed. I can’t believe what I just read -she was born in 1990? So she is 31 this year and she looks and acts just like a 18 yo girl in 2521 I can’t believe this.

April 12, 2022 at 12:16 PM
I think KTR definitely has a shot at winning. But I doubt anuthing would win big against Squid Game. Baeksang may value quality but they do not overlook popularity. Also have you seen Mr Sunshine? KTR was great there too. Though I never completed the drama, KTR, YYS and KMJ were the highlight of that show.
mmmmm
April 12, 2022 at 12:58 PM
I’m sure SQ will get at the highest award: Daesang. If that’s the case, other nominees might still have a shot at winning The Best Drama. And no, I haven’t watched Mr Sunshine. I hate history so I avoid period dramas as much as I possibly can. Might give in one day basically because of KTR. 🥺😅
May I ask why you never finished the drama?
wapz
April 12, 2022 at 4:32 PM
Classic issues with the writer. Mr Sunshine was actually a better written Kim Eun Sook drama. However, my main gripe for the writer has always been the middle part. She usually has content for 6 to 8 episodes divided equally in the beginning and end but doesn’t know what to do in the middle. The same happened with this show too, I kept waiting for sth to happen and when it finally did, I was exhausted and dropped. But by any means the show wasn’t bad. But you know when you’re live watching, the wait becomes even more exhausting. If you binge watch, these would just be 4 to 6 episodes in the middle that you can simply fast forward. Also honestly not a fan of the lead actor so I couldn’t buy that pairing.

2521 is a masterpiece. Kudos to the cast and crew. I now put it on par with Forest of Secrets 1.
These are my three favorite scenes from the show:
The scene when YJ suddenly told the camera crew that the left side of HD’s face was the most beautiful angle;
the scene when YJ suddenly tol the broadcasting crew that HD wouldn’t like question no.5 so cross that one out;
The scene when HD read what YJ wrote in her diary, and mentally decided to let the crying YJ in her mind go.
These two have become part of the other’s life is a profound way. I’m glad that YJ knew what HD wanted to tell him before they parted way, and I’m glad that finally after all these years, HD got her so deserved closure. She and He did take part in that farewell. YJ knew, understood, and didn’t blame her for ending their romantic relationship alone.
Finally, some of the questions were answered. I’m happy for HD.

14 Feb, 2022
3 Years ago, I was diagnosed with a strange mental condition called Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood, and my life crumbled. Depression was an alien thing where I lived, and was regarded as the “inability to cope with their own mind” kind of flaw. Nobody really knew what it was, my parents included.
Just a couple of days before I saw my first (and my only) psychiatrist, I developed sudden claustrophobia. I was in a meeting at my office, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe and was fainting. My automatic thought was to call my close friend who was a doctor. She was very worried and told me to go to her. However, I went home. I couldn’t really sleep, and I sweat a lot. Everyday suddenly felt like a never-ending night, and we came to the conclusion that we needed professional help. That was when I was allowed get professional help.
My psychiatrist was a very kind woman. She looked like she was about 15 years older than me, and I felt calmer talking to her. She told me and my mother I was shocked, and told me to take some medication and came back to meet her again in a week. It felt like the world crumbled twice – I, now, was a mental illness patient, and my life would never be the same. I felt like a human flaw, a flawed human being, an incompetent child, and ultimately, a child that let their parents and herself down. I felt like a robot, unable to feel happy – a broken toy of some sort. A person unworthy of love, and ofc incapable of loving. All love evaporated from me. Even when I was prescribed an antidepressant, though the dosage was very small, according to my psychiatrist, I could not cope with the fact that I was depressed.
To cut the long story short, I got better bits by bits. With the professional, medical, mental help and support from people around me (though many of them didn’t know about my condition), irl and on DB, I became better ..and better.. and finally felt more alive again. I had more fun with people and felt like the same ol’ me was back bits by bits. However, nobody, even my psychiatrist dared said I had depression. I associated depression with .. bad things I saw on the media. I suffered not only from the condition itself, but more so from me being unable to accept the fact that I had it. Everyone around me was walking on eggshells, never mentioned anything about it.. I could not accept myself.
While I suffered, I did everything that could help me. I quitted being a lawyer to become something I really liked doing -teaching English. I got my first teaching job at a private institute for IELTS preparation after a 4-month job search and more than 30 copies of resume handed to teaching institutions, and a month or two after that I got my first lecturer position at a university albeit it being a part-time job. I became more and more happy. I regained some of my self-esteem back. Because of my condition, I became much better at cutting toxic things out of my life -be it people, societal values, Kdramas with no prospect of getting better (lol), etc. I could finally see whom I should spend time with, and how I should tend and care for my relationships with them. I cut back on my SNS, and spent time on DB more -the place which I felt like a safe haven and I gained much mental support without revealing who I was, what I was going through. Though we, most of the time, talked about dramas, I gained much wisdom and perspectives from all the comments from Beanies and lurkers all over the world. I began to feel like the world was a much bigger place, and even with this tiny flaw in me, I was still lovable and had the ability to receive and give love. Beans were very kind, and sometimes I did get a lot of support when asked for from them (thanks again to Wishfultoki, Mugy, Jo, Eazal, Lakes, Ms Spazmo, Haraboji, and so many other Beans who have provided me with much support and insight intentionally and unintentionally). I was invited to join the Love, Feb event by Mugy, and I am eternally grateful for it.
After that, I was much more active on Discord. We talked a lot about things. Sometimes, I did agree with them, sometimes I didn’t. But nobody took it as a big deal. There is this sub-channal called The Void, the channel which anyone could post anything on their mind and nobody should reply to it. I learnt to accept all my feelings without labelling them right or wrong. I became more able and able to accept who I was, and by being able to do so I began to love myself again. Being able to love myself despite anything was so empowering. (I have to thank many Beans also who are more open about their mental struggles. Because of their bravery, I learnt to be braver, too, and I can’t thank them any less for it). At present, I still see my psychiatrist every few months. She is a good listener, and she always gives me fresh perspectives which, many times, are different from my own but also insightful.
The first part of my life, I always thought being independent meant not depending on anyone, and that that was considered strength. However, my experiences (and some comments here, though those comments were directed at certain show) taught me that as a human, we have strengths and weaknesses and we rely on other people who are better than us on each specific front. I don’t feel lonely anymore. All my recent accomplishments, I felt like they could have been accomplished because I had so many people with me -cheering me on, being there with me in every step I took. I attribute those accomplishments to me and to every one of them. I am a more grateful human being, and I feel like I am always surrounded with love. Moreover, people here taught me it is ok to love myself regardless of everything. I had no idea how to do that before, but I gradually learnt how to do it – to love and be kind(er) to myself, the concept I never understood how to do it in real life.
This is the longest Love, Feb post from me. I feel like I haven’t really contributed as much as I had wanted to in this year’s Love, Feb tradition due to many responsibilities. I have always wanted to reveal the most vulnerable part of me here for so long, and I’m glad I decided to do so now.
Happy Valentine’s to you all, Beanies, with a forever grateful heart,

Pats and sniffs to Coconut Milk from Bo. He was a bit shocked when I told him but then he went back to sleep, dreaming of knock-em-down sheep. The swimming is good to do. Here’s a few cake, like the ones you make, delivered with a jingle.

Why did he go back to sleep and dreamt of sheep so soon? Coconut Milk might be losses! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bo might be a little self centered and lacking in empathy and imagination. His first, second and third thoughts are food, after that it’s hunting (things that scurry along the ground, cats and birds). Then it’s frens, so Coconut Milk comes after hunting, but I’m sure he’d be charmed if he met her (after much sniffing, ofc).

Yes, I can see similarities between the two. But after watching some of the best performances of Yuna, I can see that Cha Junhwan has yet to learn a lot more in order to reach her level. Their moves are delicate, and I can see that he is one talented person who has a lot of potential, but I still see room for improvement on his part. Yuna’s programs are very precise and clean, I hope Junhwan can reach or even better, exceed that level.

#2021 Roundup
Day 22: Best Secretary/ Assistant
It feels like it has been a very long time since I watched Bossam with Beanies. If anyone knows me, they know how little interest I have for sageuks in general. But the thing is that so many Beanies whom I liked interacting with seemed to be interested in this one, that was why I gave it a try. I must say that I’m still burnt by the fact that TWO of my most beloved characters got killed off near the end; one of them is the Best Assistant in my opinion.
Yes, I’m talking about the King’s most loyal guard. I can’t even find any pics of this character in my internet search just now. However, I remembered being extremely sad when he died defending his master, the King. He is the King’s true friend. Talking about the end of this character still makes me a bit mad: why do you have to fight with your swords again the enemies that use guns? WAEEEEEE

So much wasted potential. 😩 (I really will let this go some day. Mostly.)

Dr Ye is the better match! He is cute, and take good care of her. He is intelligent and doesn’t end each sentence with just kidding!
I know it hurts.. but you gotta let it go. *shoo shoo*

@mmmmm, this is why:

Apologies. I like to drag this out every now and then.
“Lily Magnolia” by Do Jong Hwan in episode 14 was my favorite poem in the drama and I loved Jang Dong-yoon’s narration.
I give the director and production staff of APAD a high marks for the care taken in presenting the poems in the drama. This video is just one example of the quality of the presentations.

@mmmmm, @ndlessjoie,
If Dr. Ye and Bo-young have a parting of the ways I don’t think you would see Dr. Ye sitting on a step crying his eyes out like Min-ho.
And yes Mugs I too have to let it go!

Hello Bo. Cookie speaking. Hope you have fun in NZ! @jorobertson

From Bo, ” Cookie, you are so pretty. I like your frendly smile. Come to NZ soon, so we can run and play and sniff. I’ll keep some fresh rabbits for you. Stay off the wurmz, so your breath is fresh.”
From me: Btw is Cookie a Staffy? Bo has some Staffy and Labrador genes. That’s why he is hungry all the time.
@mmmmm I can’t imagine how you could not cuddle up to this bundle of love.

Hi Bo. I eat everything. I tried worms, yes, but they don’t taste good anymore. Now I want to try something new. Rabbits sound good, but I don’t think I can go to NZ because I’m overweight. My owner is afraid I will have obesity or diabetes soon if I continue eating everything like this, and no I won’t go on diet.
I love cuddling her! In fact, my sister thinks she is the best for cuddling. That’s why she keeps giving her food because cuddling a chubby dog is more “satisfying” than the leaner ones.

We took her from an adoption center, so we basically have no idea who her parents are. But yes, she is hungry all the time.
