I wonder what kind of accent Flynn will pick up.

I'm sure a lot of people go through that in relationships, they just don't find their significant other as attractive anymore, and situations like these happen. But then each partner should be putting in some kind of effort to fix the marriage, through marriage counseling or whatever will make them rekindle their love, and in the end if it still doesn't work out, then they should split. No one should be unhappy and feeling like as if they're stuck with their significant other.
But as I said, I don't know much about marriage so it's just an opinion.
By the way, I also find it kind of ridiculous that people are actually telling the OP to get advice from kdramas.

I don't know anything about relationships or marriage, but what I do know is you shouldn't be taking problems like these to a website full of teenagers and asking for advice. Why not confide in a friend or family?

Mothers should keep their children out of this world of plastic surgery until they are old enough to do it themselves. It is possible for double eyelids to come in naturally as they get older, and if children do get surgery, they're going to keep having to go back and redo it because appearances change as they get older.

Budget (Camera body only or including kit lens): 500-600ish
Frequency of Usage: whenever I'm out
Purpose (What, where, when?): For personal use, activities, school. I'm studying abroad and taking a photography class on top of that so I will be using it quite frequently
Size/Weight: prefer small and light
Desired Functions: just want good quality photos
Preferred Brand: canon or nikon
I'm looking at the canon t2i and the xsi. I'm a beginner so I'm not sure which one to get.. They both sound good but I don't know anything about dslr's yet. I want to get my hands a bit dirty first and get more comfortable with a dslr by using it. Any suggestions?

For you dog try to make sure she's comfy, keep an eye on her and make sure she's not done any damage to herself (pulling stitches etc). Is there an emergency animal hospital near you? How does she seem to be in pain?
Shes gotten better, but she occasionally starts shivering and panting/breathing rapidly. When she was a puppy she used to hide in tight and enclosed spaces like the closet and stopped doing that once she got older, but now shes gone back to hiding in closets again. She used to follow everyone around, but now she usually stays in one place. We put an e-collar and wrap cloth on her at night but in the morning we always find them off and hidden and I'm sure she licks her incision while no one is watching. The incision looks fine, there is no swelling, redness or anything. There is an emergency hospital but should we wait it out? Her stitches are to come out in five days.

My dog got spayed two days ago and shes acting a bit strange. She is panting and shivering at the same time. It is pretty cool in my house right now because of the a/c. Is this normal?
Shes eating and drinking fine but it seems shes having a bit of trouble going to the bathroom because she doesn't go as often. Her incision looks fine without any swelling or redness.
Okay, now it seems like shes in a lot of pain. Shes breathing rapidly and from what I've researched online, the vet is supposed to give medication to alleviate pain but we only got antibiotics and a sheet on how to take care of dogs after, but nothing on it mentions anything about pain. She was fine the day she came back and the day after that. Its late now and the vet is closed until saturday. What should I do to help her feel better?

I'm not saying you should go and feel sorry for yourself now that your case falls into the category but I'm trying to point out that if you felt gross or pathetic or sad or embarassed or feel scarred even to this day, that it's entirely appropriate and normal because it was indeed an act of molestation. rubbing a non-consenting CHILD on the arm is very much an improper sexual advance. I know someone who suffered psychologically.... who SUFFERS psychologically TO THIS DAY from being rubbed on the hand by a stranger when she was 5 years old, and she's 25 now. personally, I think any rub on your body without your consent is enough to give the toucher a friggin "CREEPY FUKER" stamped on their forehead. ARGH. it just pisses me off so much how there's so many sh*tfaces out there doing this kind of crap to young innocent people. FUK. It pisses me off.
Although I agree you shouldn't take a rub or touch too lightly, because you don't know what that person might be thinking, but I think some people might be going overboard on this. I know a lot of people--like my dad's side of the family-- who are mostly in the 45 and older age group who are the over friendly, social, people loving type person and they love to smile, give handshakes, pats on the back, rub on the arm as a sign of affection to a lot of people they meet (obviously avoiding touching any private parts).They are they types who will linger for a bit to absorb information and comment on how I grew taller, fatter/thinner, prettier or whatever. Obviously when you meet a person you can't say, "hey, can i rub your arm/pat your back" or "hey can i smile at you like this?" because that will make the situation awkward.
I'm not entirely disagreeing with what you said because I do agree that molestation and voicing out experiences is a serious matter, but for someone traumatized by something as a rub on the hand is, in my opinion, being too dramatic.
-
i think you got a point there
but i still think han ga in's performance isnt as strong as it should be, be it weak script or notI agree with you here though. Her acting wasn't very strong in this drama. I don't remember her performance being this weak either. Maybe because she was gone for so long, idk. Now that Bad Guy is over, I'm anticipating Lee seunggi/Shin minah's new drama lol
-
and yes, i think someone here posted how she/he doesnt "feel anything for jae in"?? i have to say i cant agree more. her char has lots of loopholes. one think i dont like about her is the fact that she's soooo indecisive. her char has lots of indecisivenesss!! hell, i dont even think she's even sure if she's a golddigger herself!
personal opinion: jae in's char is just flat confusing... if she were a golddiger, she should stay true to tae sung. not swaying off here and there once in a while, swinging between two men easily like that. i'd prefer it if she honestly admitted she's a golddiger in the very start and focuses her way into joining haeshin family... she hates it when ppl call her golddiger, but when gun wook gives her the opportunity to get close to tae sung, she jumps right in! when madame shin scorns her for dating tae sung, etc; i was like "go for it!" (very unusual case for me since i always root for kdrama leads)
I think her character is somewhat realistic. I think you've described a lot of (Korean) girls. Girls who want to marry into a wealthy family, become financially stable and buy whatever they want but they want love as well. They won't admit it or won't realize it, but ultimately, most do--whether unintentionally or intentionally--seek money. People are indecisive and imperfect. Jaein wasn't exactly swaying back and forth. She initially considered Gunwook as a friend only, but later grew to like him albeit in jealous ways. in the end finally chose Gunwook after learning about the truth and no matter what, she rejected Taesung because that was the growth of her character. In the beginning she chose money but now she chose love over wealth.
Not the best drama, probably because of the cliche plot and scenes, but not one of the bad ones I've seen.. some characters are quite interesting.
-
i fastforwarded when watching the finale since it has no subs. im confused. so does that mean mo nae doesnt know that
gun wook is his brother
, after all????
Actually I'm not too sure on this. I assumed she didn't. But
She did refer to Gunwook as Gunwook and Taesung as her older brother Taesung
-
I totally agree!!The series started very well, but ended so.................childish!!!! All the hardships that GW been through to revenge, in the end was useless....because he was , after all the real TS. So nobody knows if he's dead, everybody got back to their life........come on....but does anyone thinks about the suffering that GW has been through??The writers should, at least show a more optimistic ending...at least show some hope there......Anyway, this is one of the best dramas so far.......but the ending...a bit dissapointing....Good work guys!!
I disagree. Although I would've liked Gunwook alive, receive the love he needs, and everything all happy, I could understand why Gunwook had to die like that.. Gunwook lived his entire life for revenge and although things turned out unexpected, he served his purpose. An evil woman went to jail, the father learned the entire truth, Taera has a mind of her own, and Taesung learned he too has people who care for him and he wants to care for others as well. Taesung is on his way to do everything by his own power and not depend on name to get power or love. And Monet.. it was Monet's turn to cast revenge on the man who ruined her perfect image of a happy family. She was the most innocent and did nothing wrong. She didn't deserve everything to happen to her. Although Gunwook is her actual brother, it was perfect to have her ignorant of this fact and shoot him. While I was watching I wondered if he could actually live because I honestly think situations will turn out weird if Gunwook kept living. Although it did richard simmons me off in the end when Monet did yoga and her nails as if nothing happened, I'm not too upset about this ending.

My dog is about seven years and we finally decided to get her spayed. I know you're supposed to get dogs spayed when they're young, but we waited too long. Are there any health risks or dangers in getting her spayed at this age?

Is 조성모 your distant cousin? Hehe just curious.
Does anyone know 정종철? He's the guy on Gag Concert.. KBS 개그콘서트.
He's my 3rd/4th/5th cousin or some sort.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, he is. But that doesn't mean I've met him or know him in person. 조원희, one of 23 players picked for Korean national team in 2006 World Cup is the 27th generation from my family. That generation shares 희 as their common name.
There are 400,000+ of us that share same ancestry according to the census. Which 60-70% of them adopted our surname during Japanese rule in early 1900s. It's a huge mess.
Also, there are other 2 Cho/Jo's that I'm not allowed to marry since our very ancestors are brothers. They are recorded as the three of the seven princes from Song Dynasty that escaped Mongol invasion. Very fascinating stuff.
That sounds so interesting.. I wish I knew more about my ancestry... unfortunately my family don't know much about it either.

This new feature is cute. Especially because people often reply with a "+1". Now you can literally +1/-1 somebody.
-
The whole situation doesn't make sense to me - their biggest barrier as a couple would have been the social pressure - the whole family background thing. No way in hell would a family as rich/successful as EY's let their only daughter marry a man who has been married before AND divorced AND her best friend's ex-husband. And the guy that ruined her other wedding - it's just a beacon for gossip and slandering. That's just the truth in Korean society...yea it can happen but there would be a hell of a lot more drama before that.
lol You can tell from when Eunyoung got engaged a second time to Jiwon that her family really doesn't care who she marries.
I'm glad that Eunyoung and Jinsoo are together. I really like their chemistry... its very romantic even though I do admit sometimes shes too good for him.
This is very disappointing, esp when it comes from a SY fan/shipper (?) If you don't know what her role/importance is in CH then to me you haven't watched the drama at all. Don't you see SY is happy in the end? she is following her dream and will fulfill it. Since certain people complain how EunSoo is full of angst, I guess SY, her family, JW and others are there to balance the things out. But I believe every character has a specific role. SY has taught JS many things and vice-versa. It's not because they don't do what you want means they have no significance whatever. (Not because she didn't make him fall in love with her that makes her character fails!
)I always think it'd be hard (or impossible) for those who are used to Cinderella or stereotype stories to accept anything beyond that. CH could be one, where a mundane girl with dream and strong character meets a cool guy who doesn't show any interest in her at first, cause he has already someone he loves. But then later he realizes that the 'new' girl is special and different. And so he's automatically drawn to her and (quickly) forgets his old love. CH could have gone that way, and be a hit in kdrama land.
Well said. Every relationship in this drama isn't a romantic one lol
Seungyeon's character is quite special because of her relationship to Jinsoo as a secretary/student/subordinate/younger sister. Although she is infatuated with Jinsoo, I like how they didn't go any further than that relationship. Jinsoo and Seungyeon teaches and learns from each other. She was someone who wasn't even very interested in becoming a writer at first, but through growth and learning, she becomes recognized by a top, experienced writer and fulfilling her dream to becoming a professional.
I've said this before... this drama explores different relationships.
-
I think SY has been one of the more realistic characters (in term of writing... the acting can be improved). She's grown and we see it but the core of her being is still there. She still has an air of foolishness... which is essentially who she is... her unique quality and her development has stayed true to it. She doesn't need to be an EY replica to be sophisticated or mature. Not everyone in this world is witty or as cool as EY comes off and that's perfectly fine... because SY adds diversity.
In my opinion, I think personality comes to play when the viewer chooses which female leads he/she likes. I like Eunyoung more and find her more realistic because I can relate to her more in terms of actions, behavior and personality. Seungyeon is quite the opposite and I can not understand why she would do things and why she would do whatever she wants. Which is why I had a hard time watching the scenes in episode 15 when she acted overly cute. I love her character but I just think sometimes it goes too overboard. Just my two cents. I want to see both leads happy but I prefer EY/JS's cool yet heated relationship.
-
I can't hate JW, he's an idiot but a funny one. I mean he is so slicky and slimy, and that smiley winky thing he does makes me rofl like crazy. He's a loser, but an unhateable one, and yeah he doesn' deserve EY but neither does JS. Yes, I did just say that.
I agree. I wasn't upset when they revealed that EY and JW got back together. I thought those weird winks and the way he's so happy when he's with EY was very cute. -
LMAO. So the drama is now ridiculous because it's not going the JS/SY way? We all have different tastes but to me, this is even better than episodes 11 and 12.
If this drama was about Jin Soo and Seung Young getting together, it would still have angst with characters hiding their feelings and all that.
I don't see how this is more typical than having an arrogant rich man's heart softened by a clueless, poor girl. Just because the drama isn't going the way you wished doesn't make it bad/ridiculous/silly/whatever.
We all were worried because this drama isn't the usual Cinderella story and expected it to be, but this storyline is just as valid as any other drama out there. If you don't like it because your precious JS and SY aren't a couple and Jin Soo will never ever ever ever ever ever in a billion years be attracted to SY, that's fine. But that doesn't mean that this isn't a good drama.
And since before the hiatus, SY/JS shippers have been welcome to this thread but excuse some of us if we don't want to stay talking about a storyline you wish were happening versus the one that actually was. Sure, EunSoo shippers were coming up with crazy richard simmons theories - but it was based on canon.
lol exactly. I think I'd rather have this angst drama than the way overdone "arrogant rich man's heart being softened by a clueless poor girl" theme. And I think this drama is going at a perfect pace. Also, it has to "drag" because they're unraveling a complicated relationship. How can you fix a complex relationship in a couple of episodes?
Viewers say that dramas are slow and draggy because the story isn't going the way they wanted, but then if it's any shorter they will say that it ended too fast and resolved everything too quickly. Very much a catch-22 when it comes to dramas.
I don't like the JS/SY couple because I really see no romantic chemistry between them. It even seems like Seungyeon doesn't even see Jinsoo in that way. She probably has a slight crush on him but they never directly had her openly like Jinsoo.
I like the Seungyeon and Dongwook couple because they have more potential of blossoming a good romance.
-
My interpretation is that JS is comfortable with SY, they have a Employee/Employer relationship... No complicated history, no complicated relationship, no complicated thinking involved... A bit of black and white and grey... She's there because he paid her to be there, mostly for his amusement, but also to take care of him. When he worried about her, it was because he finally grown a conscience and was thinking about others, not just himself.
Whereas with EY, they have a history with each other. 10yrs of history involving each other, HS, JW, work, death personal issues. She's someone who's been there thru the good, the bad, and the ugly times with him, pushing him to live, giving him a reason to live. He owes her a lot, and the best he can do to pay her back for being there for him is to be well, that's why he doesn't want to show her is vulnerable side, or when he's hurting (no more pity)... He doesn't want her to do anymore for him, he's a man and has pride (was that why he was so mad at the end of eps 10?)...
I agree with this. Eunyoung gives Jinsoo a reason to live through writing. She knows what he has been through and she supports him in the best way she can, knowing where he came from and what his personality is like. I don't think Seungyun has helped Jinsoo much at all. She gives him cute little scenes, amusement and temporary happiness but it doesn't give the story any movement or dynamic at all. I don't know what the writers will do next, but the Eunyoung/Jinsoo pairing gives the story more meaning by developing different shades of a relationship between a man and a woman such as friendship, business partners, possible lovers, enemies, etc.
I agree with babiiphatt too. I really, really can not see any type of romance between Seungyun and Jinsoo. If anything he looks at her if he's a proud older brother or employer.
I really, really like Jinsoo's character. His quirkiness is entertaining and lovable yet he is so complex and unpredictable, and could be interpreted in so many ways.

Harry Potter all the way. It has such a creative plot with wonderful character developments. And it kept me up late at night when I was younger. Even though I'm getting older, I still find myself going back and reading all the books again. I've read Twilight and I dislike using this word but it's extremely overrated. The story line is decent but the characters richard simmons me off and I think Soompi fanfic writers can write a lot better than Stephanie Meyer can. Twilight is terribly static and 2D.
JAMIESHOCK compared the two beautifully.
-
I have to say that the LOST mysteries were a huge reason why it interested me at first, but as seasons went on, I absolutely loved the characters and that's what kept me from giving up on the show.
Well except for Kate. Should have died in the first season.
I found it really interesting because from the beginning, I've noticed I hated every person on that island at one point. They were so flawed and hateable, but as the series went on, the characters started to redeem themselves and as the characters grew, I grew to like them as well.

Everything these days are considered "fobby" now aint it.
This is true but eyebrows are an exception. Koreans are well known for having these full-ish eyebrows with no arch.
-
I don't like the word overrated because its thrown around way too much in Soompi but this book/movie is actually overrated
but i still think han ga in's performance isnt as strong as it should be, be it weak script or not

I agree. I wasn't upset when they revealed that EY and JW got back together. I thought those weird winks and the way he's so happy when he's with EY was very cute.
How I Met Your Mother
in Others
Posted
I agree. It's certain that the bride is not robin. It's quite annoying how they build up the Barney/Robin line with countless cat and mouse chases for three seasons only to pull this off. They clearly haven't even properly ended things, and now I gave up on caring about them and just want to see the mother introduced.
