Is everyone out of energy today?

 

This is me right now:

 

Btw, I tried to watch Ripley on Netflix but gave up after one episode. Not sure why everyone is raving about it. Me:

i don’t fancy the regular laksa - not a fan of coconut milk but I do love the other version mentioned by @sadthe1st

 

assam laksa has lots of veggies but has a strong taste of mackerel/tuna, part tangy part spicy. Think spicy bouillabaisse with noodles and herbs with a dash of Tabasco. If you can take kimchi, this should be okay.

Getting sick with diseases is terrible much less overseas at work or attending key events or travelling. Some of my friends think I am paranoid about taking precautions and being particular about cleanliness, but it’s better to be safe. 

I always spray the bathroom with alcohol-based sanitizer and hot-water flush the room cups before first use  Hubs think I have borderline OCD. Kekeke.

 

Do you all have any strange habits while travelling?

Chingu, it's the fish sauce taste I can't deal with. It's....

Wow! That's dedication!

 

Then again I don't EVER use a cup, spoon, glass or even an electric kettle in a hotel room. After I found out how people wash their socks and underwear in hotel room electric kettles AND apparently also in Nespresso machines, I was like, nah, not touching one ever again.

Not really strange I would say, more like practical.

 

1) I always check for bed bugs before settling in the room. I always keep my suitcase off the bed and floor - always shut. Just don't want any critters home.

2) Like I said, I never use any glassware or electric kettles in hotel rooms. For longer trips I will actually bring my own mini kettle, tea bags, coffee and mug with me when traveling.

3) I always carry a small bottle of hand soap or liquid soap in my purse when traveling in developing countries. It's not a given that a public bathroom will offer soap, and using hand sanitizer is not enough.

4) I never walk barefoot or in socks in hotel rooms. I will always have with me some slippers (since a lot of hotels don't offer them anymore - especially outside of Asia).

5) I never drink nor brush my teeth using tap water from the bathroom ANYWHERE outside of my own home (or relatives' or friends' homes).

6) Hygiene is key when traveling - so wash hands with soap and water often.

No, and not planning to. I just really don't like the theme of the documentary. Did you watch it?

 

Hide ep 5 was good. Have you watched it yet?

 

These two characters intrigue me the most.

 

Read an article about the original drama that <SPOILER>

Spoiler

The FL has an affair with her client. Pretty sure that a kdrama wouldn't be as bold as to do that, even though I would find it interesting (because I have a feeling her husband is rotten to the core). But I think Lee Bo Young has good chemistry with the younger guy playing Do Jin Woo.

 

I would ship them!

 

 

Btw, read somewhere that this Thai lakorn from 2021 is being subbed at the moment:

https://mydramalist.com/68727-reuan-rom-ngiw

 

I find the synopsis quite interesting:

A tragic love story unfolds when Malaai agrees to marry the owner of Rom Ngiew House, Luang Wisarn, unaware that he is gay.

 

 

Apparently it's based on a novel. Golf plays the ML and I'm guessing he might be the brother of the gay guy the FL marries?

 

Switching to Team Sub.

[joccu]

@partyon  not yet. It is on my watchlist.  The theme is really awful and disturbing.  but still somehow I end up watching also these kind of documentaries. 
 

oh. That lakorn actually sounds interesting.

Will let you know if I see subs for it. It's a 27 episode drama. It also seems to have some supernatural elements and a lot of barf characters

 

492

 

EDIT: Oh, apparently Golf is playing the gay hubby's lover.

 

 

So am guessing he wants to get rid of the FL. Why is Golf always playing evil characters?

[joccu]

@partyon  no idea. Type casted.

@joccu This also looks like an interesting drama:

 

 

It's a Taiwanese drama that premiered today (am waiting for the subs; will only be 8 episodes). Synopsis:

The story begins with an outfit clash. Two women who were born on the same month and the same day not only fell in love with the same man but also often bought the same clothes. They were rivals in love when they were young, and for 10 years, they have been using clues on Facebook to fantasize about each other's better life and feel jealous. Unexpectedly, they meet again.

 

Apparently this is partially a mystery drama as well. And the cast is stellar: Tiffany Hsu and Ariel Lin star as the FLs.

 

 

 

Will be available on Viu.

Morning sweeties!

 

Do you guys like noona romances?

 

I was just thinking about which dramas had couples with "amazing chemistry" and where the couple had very large age gaps.

 

Secret Love Affair - 20 years

 

Witch's Romance - 20 years

(Park Seo Joon and Uhm Jung Hwa had some great makeout scenes)

 

Hyena, K2, I Hear Your Voice, Tomorrow, Search WWW, Romance is a Bonus Book, When the Camellia Blooms, etc had noona romances with 10+ years age gaps and some explosive chemistry. I've noticed that some actors / actresses consistently have better chemistry with someone who is older / younger than them.

 

Which dramas had good noona romances in your opinion?

Depends on the story. I don't think there would be many dramas of that dynamic? I'd feel bad watching though if the elder ML or FL isn't acting well. 😅

 

@rocher22 It's the first time I've seen a full footage for Takizawa Kabuki's Fukkin Daiko portion posted online, and this one was done live while many of their senpais and the previous Johnny's (now Starto/Smile Up!) bigwigs were watching.

Wait a second, are you also watching Hide?

 

Everyone on the drama thread is fangirling the motorcycle guy playing Do Jin Woo. He's only 24 IRL and she's 20 years older. Oops. LBY does have good chemistry with younger guys though.

 

I still think they should give them a love line - especially after the big reveal in ep 6.
