  1. I'm totally loving Dr Slump (Netflix)-- it has been a fun week! Last episode tomorrow!
  2. Just finished Captivating the King (Netflix)I personally loved this one-- similar premise as The Kings Affection-- but even though I love Rowoon-- this one is better! Ending was rushed (typical) but satisfying. It stars Jo Jung-suk (my favorite from Hospital Playlist).
  3. It may be possible to 'tea' stain it-- put in tub and soak-- add in brewed tea a bit at a time-- Other option is to soak and add tiny sprinkes/drops of RIT dye-- go with an 'ivory/beige' and maybe a tiny bit of grey or black.
  4. Hey -- why don't we go back to having this a K-Drama thread-- it has so many good recommendations I would hate to have to make a new one! Someone else can start a K-Pop/idol/sexuality thread if you want... I've started watching "Marry My Husband"-- really liking it so far-- I would also note that this is probably NOT for teens...
  5. All of the above. This happens to K-Drama idols as well-- at least until you are close to 40-- then it is OK if you get married... Many K-Drama and K-Pop fans are delusional! This is not just in Korea-- but world-wide. Some of the idols have been physically attacked (or verbally attacked on social media)... As far as K-pop goes-- these groups spend 90% or more of their time exclusively together and have for YEARS. They are FAMILY.
  6. Ateez fans are called Atiny means Ateez plus destiny I just started 'Mary my Husband'-- first episode was intense and heartbreaking-- but it looks like it will be fun (lightens up after first episode). It is on PRIME-- HATE HATE their subtitles and what is up with the commercials! I'm joining the class action...
  7. Ateez songs follow a storyline! Like Stray Kids they dance/sing but Ateez is more of a K-pop musical theater. There are many websites that will teach/review the storyline/lore. Every new song has a tiny bit of a hint of what will come next! Here is link to Crazy Form and lead singer Jongho's Everything-- this is a mini-Kdrama --such an emotional ballad! For more insight on these groups check out Kingdom: Legendary War context (SKZ wins but close with Ateez). These 2 groups are FRIENDS.
  8. I actually have my Stray Kids shirt on today... I really like Stray Kids and Felix's deep DEEP voice-- but Ateez has stolen my heart. LOVE LOVE LOVE the B-side unit songs (with 1-3 members) they recently released-- especially Its You, Everything (awesome!!) and Youth... Love the A-side "Crazy Form"-- it has over 100 MILLION views in just a few weeks-- such a FUN nonsense song about dancing.
  9. Trip to Hawaii-- thankfully it perfectly coincided with an award (trip to Hawaii all expense paid) that DH won at work! We did go a few days early and spent a few days at a cool BnB on the Hilo side of the Big Island-- then work-award part of trip was at the Four Seasons on the Kona side... We got to watch the volcano go off at night--lava flowing into ocean-- VERY COOL!
  10. You can change your 'bundle' at any time! This is cheaper than getting a separate Hulu account if you already have a Disney + one. I'll only keep my Hulu for another month unless DH sees something on it he wants to watch.
  11. These are advertised to be on Disney+ but here in the USA they are on HULU (a Disney sub-unit). It is not 'false advertising' as these are international ads and in many countries they are actually on 'Disney +' . I do not use dubbing-- but I can agree that the subtitle translations are not great-- and this is coming from my very limited understanding of Korean. I think I like K-dramas (other than story lines and aesthetics) because I'm very ADD/ADHD and I get to SEE, READ and HEAR at the same time. When subtitles throw a poor translation it is like a note being out of tune in my brain!
  12. All of the one I've seen advertised for Disney+ have been on HULU instead (in USA). I just added HULU to our Disney+ account so I could watch a few dramas that were not on other platforms-- I did a free trial this past summer to watch Dr Romantic 2 and 3! I will probably keep HULU for a month or two as Viki and Netflix have more of what I watch. -- I've started First Responders (Hulu)-- it is good but pretty intense (crime scenes and crimes in progress...). After a few episodes I switched to watch something on the lighter side-- this time I'm re-re-watching My Roomate is a Gumhio (Viki).
  13. I have had LOTS of medical tests this past year or so-- some of my last tests were at a hospital-- ZERO appointment reminders for those-- just told to enter near the ER and let them know I was there...
  14. What part of the expression is tripping her up? Can she factor trinomials easily/accurately? Does she know the difference between terms and factors? (this is a big stumbling block for students).
  15. If your heart rate is currently back to normal I would still put a call into your Dr/Cardiologist since you mentioned tachycardia--you may have developed something like 'sick-sinus-rhythm' or Brady-tachycardia. While this is considered rare, I developed this last year... when my heart rate dropped into the 30-40 I was OUT OF IT-- like slurred speak, headache, and trouble concentrating... actually any heart rate below 60 makes me fee off... My heart rate drops more at night-- but really anytime I'm sitting relatively still for more than a few minutes it drops. It is also concerning since you mentioned being on medication to lower your heart rate... I ended up with a pacemaker a few months ago-- I still have the tachycardia and some minor chest pains daily, but I'm much better off since I cannot drop below 60. Currently my pacemaker is 'firing' about 50% of the time... I also have psoriatic arthritis and 'sick sinus rhythm' is not uncommon with this or rheumatory arthritis. Unfortunately there are not meds available to raise your heart rate (except for in extreme emergencies)-- but my pacemaker gave me my life back.
  16. I just watched a cute K-drama on Viki: Casting a Spell to You (title explained in the last scene of show...). Sure-- it was fairly predictable-- but it kept my interest.
  17. Just thinking-- did 'airplane mode' get turned on?
  18. I finished Perfect Marriage Revenge (Viki). Overall I liked it-- it had lots of twists (almost too many!). There were a few slow points and I'm very glad they did not try to draw this out and stopped at 12 episodes. I almost didn't make it through the first episode. There are a few triggers-- child abuse/memories of child abuse... Also being blinded by revenge OK for some characters but not for others.
  19. Reporting back about Welcome to Samdal-ri Ending was fine-- I guess it was satisfying (they did not totally ruin it). I still liked the show-- but what is it about this type of ending that is so common-- I call it a selfish ending... but I'm open for discussion-- again the ending was fine and you could say that it was a HAPPY ENDING.... I'm trying to finish the last 2 episodes of My Demon-- I just keep falling asleep... (but I watch this one after the little guy is in bed).
  20. I would go with a pediatric gyn (specialist). I would also test for Ehlers Danlos too. My middle dd has Ehlers Danlos and has had problems with ovarian cysts most of her life (PCOS)... she was 'ignored' as a pre-teen and not taken seriously until she was over 18 and started seeing an adult gyn.
  21. YEA! I'll finish it tomorrow (Sunday). I'm almost finished with Welcome to Samdal-ri. It has a Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha vibe but different storyline twists...I like Ji Chang-wook -- it was nice to see him so comfortable in a rom-com (he does mostly action dramas)...so this one is a KEEPER (as long as they do not trash the ending!).
  22. Our experience...it may be a bit different because there were injuries... DH, along with 7 teenage girl passengers, were rear-ended at high speed. Our Suburban was totaled-- one girl broke her back (life-time pain but has mobility) and 2 girls had very serious concussions (one of them my middle dd). DH and our oldest daughter had neck problems for a few months-- one other girl had extensive bruising due to lap belt (middle seat) while other 2 girls had no injuries. Driver of car that hit him was texting at the time. Her insurance started hounding us that day to settle (Texas is a no-fault state). Most of their "settling" was claiming 50% liability-- agent said if we did not take it they would string things out for years (State Farm). We had USAA at the time. USAA gave us a few thousand right away --not enough to cover the actual value of our Suburban--but it was enough to help us get a used car ASAP. Our health insurance paid for the hospital bills minus deductible. (Other girls also used their family's health insurance). We ended up needing to get a lawyer. FIL had a good buddy who was a famous trial lawyer-- he took our case only because of that friendship. Just using the lawyer's name had State Farm leaving us alone! Sure-- USAA would have 'helped' but only to get their money back and it still would have taken years because State Farm and USAA were not on great terms at the time... BTW each girl had to sue separately. All in all it took 2 years to get settled after a few court dates... payout was 1 year after that! We were told that this was normal... Our health insurance was reimbursed during the settlement (they had to sue State Farm). It was a MESS. Hopefully OP will have better luck getting the insurance companies to cooperate...personally, I would not wait too much longer before hiring a lawyer.
  23. I was also impressed with Song Kang-- ignoring Neverthelss--I've liked his acting (not bad looking either!) He lost 10-20 pounds for this role so he looks quite different (more sculpted). The premise-- for Good Day to be a Dog was actually fine-- there were lots of 'cute moments'-- but just not enough developed story to carry drama for 16 episodes-- even 8 would be too many-- would have been better as movie (and even that could have contained the side story lines fully!). Cha Eun-woo is more involved in MODELING-- he is one of the top (if not the top) male models in the world right now... Astro (his K-pop group) really has not done anything since the death of Moonbin last year. He is loosing his 'boy next door' looks (at almost 27 yrs old)-- especially if he slicks his hair back-- so he is (hopefully) destined for more mature roles based on natural aging.. Alchemy is what my friends and family consider to be the 'Lord of the Rings' of K-dramas-- it is fantasy (not a period piece but costumes are period-like)... While it is LONG-- it is so worth it!!
  24. I'm watching this one too! Parts of it creeps me out a bit-- but I know some of that is stuff lost in translation and me not being versed in Korean mythology (demon/devil/god). I've heard it is supposed to have a good ending (or at least satisfying instead of frustrating or sad). I totally enjoyed going back and re-re-watching Alchemy of Souls... LOVE that one-- it is EPIC! -- I tried to enjoy Good Day to be a Dog -- but it would have been better off as a movie-- Episode 0 pretty much does that-- it covers ALL of the major scenes and story lines in 1 hour (do not watch if you are planning on watching the whole series). Every episode started with a 5-10 minute REVIEW of previous episodes-- Every episode ended with a 5-10 minute REVIEW AND SPOILERS for upcoming episodes. Every episode had multiple 'reflection' scenes that replayed previous scenes already covered in the intro review... so LOTS of fast-forwarding to eek my way through... I'd love to see Cha Eun-woo in a meatier role-- he seems to be stuck playing the same clueless clean-cut guy (Island was a bit different but I lost interest in that Drama and never finished it).
