LOLLLL, you guys made me feel sooooo much better of what I used to spend/collect stationaries! I used to collect pens (I also have the MUJI's gel pens!), letter pads (until I realised CRAP, what am I to do with them now people use emails and chat apps?!) and stickers. I also have a thing with those coloured Post-Its flags, tabs etc.

I still write daily because I use a notebook for my schedule and my work notes! But I stopped buying a lot of pens when I discovered the Frixion pens and their refills a few years ago. I just started buying a few more because I decided I want colours again 

@SilverMoonTea Those patterned post-it notes are so pretty! Totally know what you mean by sayang to use!

OMGGGGG Yessss....Thank you for starting this thread @Jane ...I'll post here soon. Not sure if you will be amazed or horrified by how much stationery I own. Be prepared to be shocked 

This is a very very very tiny portion of what I own...It was my last Japan trip haul

WOW JEN WOW!

I haven't been buying too much pens recently because I have been using the Pilot Frixion refillables. I have a couple of Sarasa Clip pens and they are really good!

As you can see I like everything with gold glitter on it. Haha... Thats why last time the hint for my profile is blinking earrings, cos I love everything that sparkling! 

Ahhhh now we know! The calendar pages are cute!

I will start! Here's my latest stationery haul from Shopee. I am loving the black washi tapes so much. It was my first time seeing it and I knew I had to add them to my collection! I also recently discovered all these cute stickers online (idk why I never bought them earlier) and bought a whole bunch to use in my bujo!

I finished two romantic comedies recently

Crazy Stupid Bromance - Lyssa Kay Adams

This is the third book in the Bromance Book Club series. The club is a group of guys who started reading romance novels as "manuals" to help them with their relationships. It's such a funny and unique premise, I recommend checking it out!

The Twelve Dates of Christmas - Jenny Bayliss

I picked this up on a whim from the library because it had a nice book cover! I really enjoyed the story of how the FL goes on all these dates as part of dating agency package, the small town she lives in and her relationship with her family and friends. Recommended too for a light, funny, warm read.

Rough trans of the title is "Shall we take a picture together?" 2021 version, a special selca of 99z has been released. And I'm also guessing since in the teaser we can see Song Hwa in her room and how they spending time together in that olace, I'm guessing that she's back from Sokcho. If I remember correctly she's going to spend one year over there. She went there on Dec 2019, so to make her back at Yulje again, it would be late 2020 to early 2021. Unless the hospital called her back faster than that. 

Good catch! Yes I supposed they could be moving through 2020 faster than they did for 2019 S1. But seeing Song Hwa in her room, she could also be visiting for her VIP patients? But I think it's more likely they will speed through 2020 quickly or like you said, she is recalled back or she decides to come back earlier.

As for new characters, Seok Hyung's ex-wife is definitely going to make an appearance since she's in the character chart at tvN! Her name is Kim Tae Yeon and she is 37 years old.

 

I wonder what this means for Mi Na's potential romance with SH. I really wanted MN to get SH since I think they could be a good match for each other. However, SH probably has to resolve his issues over his ex-wife first anyway since he feels apologetic to her for not being a good husband.

Is this for S2? Link please! 

It's Min-ha, not Mi Na :) Personally I think GomGom will have the longest journey. Besides the ex-wife, SH also has his mum. I am really looking forward to how they will develop this relationship! Wouldn't mind SH doing a little chasing himself when he realises that Min-ha is the one. Wouldn't it be interesting if it's his ex-wife that helps him realise it?

Don’t you like to wfh?

I like it when I am in the office and complaining about the commute, and then I don't like it again when I am at home and wish I can interact with my colleagues. I am Miss Contrary 

@mademoiselle@JenL I really loved this drama for the intricacies of its storytelling and how well thought out everything was. No action was left to chance, every gesture had a meaning, every  The thirteen episodes was constructed SO WELL, with its cliffhangers, quieter moments, the joy of youth and of course, romance - all with a tint of nostalgia. It brought you on this roller coaster of emotions and the many feelings that one experiences. Even with CYR / HYX, I was thinking about how complex one can be (even without two different souls) in putting our external face to the world and our inner selves.

At first we thought HYX would change CYR's life for the better so it came as a shock to me when it became a double-edged sword instead where CYR saw what it could be like and knew she would never live up to HYX. And then all those rejections, especially from the boy she liked. What I was upset with CYR was how she would think to implicate MJJ and try to use his feelings for her to get what she wanted. 

Her last words were really sad, I can't relate to it but I thought the writers conveyed the message really well and reflected the pain some people feel and enabled more understanding of them.

I believe the special ending was actually made as a Thank you for hitting a number of views? Or because of award nominations? It seemed like something positive as opposed to appeasing complaints from memory

Wasn't it also due to the ending being leaked? So the production had another ending filmed to make up for it?

I don't mind the original ending, I like it as an open ending because I believe LZW and HYX will find their way to each other in this universe and any other universe! I don't mind the 11 years age gap so much (see: my Wintergarden ship hahaha) but I would have preferred them meeting a little later as adults, maybe when she finished university. 

What a great show that was! Please if anyone hasn't watched it, please watch Someday or One Day!

Haha @Janethanks for bringing @JenLalong 😁😆 That time I was packing and go from S forum 🤣 , I only remember hand over some of my ship and oppas lols. 

 

I just realized I have a lot of ship (non of it materialized). Maybe I should change name to ShipperMoonTea lols. 

I hunted Jen down on twitter to bring her along too! Hahaha now that you realise you are the Shipper Queen? Look at your SGSM thread!

Anyway! It's back to WFH for the next four weeks 

@mademoiselle What's your SOOD progress? I feel like you might have finished it already.

@Jane @im0202 Have you seen this moving poster? I took a quick look at twitter during lunch period and got a surprise like this huhuhu

 

The transition from 1999 to 2021

I think season 2 will have timeline from 2020 and 2021

Yup I saw it, had to start work so I couldn't spazz about it too much  How did you know that it goes to 2021? I haven't watched with subs.

1 hour ago, JenL said:

I don't mind a remake maybe as much as other fans who were devastated...but I have no idea how they would include the song? It's such a central part of the drama contributing to its mood...it'd be weird to replace it. Also casting any inexperienced idols would ruin it, so I really hope they don't!

Maybe they will find a Korean song for the KR audience to identify with? Ahhh I hope they don't cast an idol, HYX and LZW are such meaty roles. If they really had to cast an idol, I think it would be the MJJ role.

1 hour ago, JenL said:

The Taiwanese apparently want to do a movie version of this drama with the same actors, which is also weird, but has been more accepted by the fandom. I'd watch it, but I do feel it would be weirdly condensed!

Oh yes I saw this news. Patrick stated they will be filming soon with all cast and crew returning. I don't think it would be a condensation, that's just not possible!

There's a writer's symposium with the script writers of the series and they talk about how they came up with the series...I don't think they put it up on Youtube but it's on the Someday or One Day official Facebook page  (Fox Studios/ Disney own all the rights to Someday or One Day so lots of content including the BTS videos are not put on Youtube and only hosted on their official Faebook page)

I will go check it out after I finish the series! It will be interesting to understand their process.

@Jane @JenL Waaaa this is one sad love story. I've read some spoiler coz I can't wait LOL

Darn I should have told you not to google for spoilers! But never mind, there is still enough surprises that will keep you on the edge of your seat! It's also funny and very sweet in several episodes. Have you started?

50 minutes ago, JenL said:

YESSSSS!!!! I'm so happy you're watching this masterpiece!!!

Do you love it? Are you in love with the main characters? And the music and the nostalgia?!

You got through this soooo quickly! I'm impressed!!! 

I LOVE IT! I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS. LZW is the most perfect male lead ever! HYX is so spunky (Alice is amazing here)! And MJJ deserves the world!

I am moving really fast because I am watching with a friend and we have a watch schedule, that's how. I just got done with Ep 10 and 11 (miscalc ystd) and it scared the bejeezus out of me. Like I had to hide behind a pillow at some parts. Ep 12 and 13 will be tomorrow night!

I see you have experienced the full SOODs experience. I caught it a month after it aired and I regretted not knowing about the series earlier so I could have been trying to solve the mystery...butttt I'm glad I watched as it was doing the festival/ award rounds - they had so many interviews that it felt like it was still airing!

I am thinking so hard after each episode about how the writers are conceptualising this! Even though my friend asked me not to because all will be explained. But I can't help it. I don't think I could have lasted during the live airing! I want answers!

ut yeah, I was like this for years....I don't think I made any friends till lockdown when I met @Jane and @SilverMoonTea while watching Twogther and spazzing over Jasper/ LSG

@SilverMoonTea was the matchmaker here! And then I made sure to pull Jen over to JangHaven after it got started. Haha!

By the way @JenL loophole?? MJJ hasn't been wearing his hearing aid but he has no trouble listening after he told her his situation xDDDDD

I thought about this loophole too. But it seems like he can hear in one ear and he doesn't always need the hearing aid. I am not surprised you are up to Ep 5 already! You just want to keep going to find out!

Oooo you reminded me. This could be another drama I can binge today.

YES! It's very binge-able, only 13 eps and about one hour each. I did 4 eps on Thursday and then 6 eps yesterday! It's a drama that will put you through the wringer of feelings - pain, squeals and confusion!

Who else haven't watch it? GO WATCH IT PLEASE!

@JenLI thought you would like to know I am currently watching Someday or One Day! Currently at Ep 9 since starting on Thursday, I am blazing through it!

Curious. Even if the art is the kind you don't know how to appreciate, would you still get the same anxiety?

Absolutely. Our personal tastes doesn't play into the equation of protecting it.

Basically there's a pretentious painter who takes credit for some poor artists' works and steals all his paintings (including a self portrait which he covers with his own portrait) after he murders the poor artist. The ghost of the poor artist haunts the painting and the main character (who is an exorcist) cuts off the fake artist's painting to real the true artists' self portrait hidden below....

 

So destroying art all for a good cause, but....my art-appreciating self nearly died when that happened!!!  The anxiety was so deep!

Noooo, they should have gotten a conservator to strip off the top layer of paint!

@JaneAre you interested to watch this? Haha...

Yes, very possibly! I have always been interested in this drama's premise but the K-drama leads' visual compatibility didn't pull me in. This one has Jasper so  And it's on Netflix so that helps. Hahaha!

Anyone interested in a Hospital Playlist Season 1 re-watch later this month since Season 2 will start on June 21? @Jane@LaLa? I know we already had a re-watch on Discord, but that was awhile ago. If interested, we could do it on the HP Season 2 thread, or build a new event thread to host the re-watch. Let me know.

It's a no for me too, sorry Stropp! I have been really busy. I can't wait to watch S2 with everyone though!

I don't know where is this conversation at at this point but are you really meeting? And obviously yes your grand meeting has to be at Macs or at least a stop on your foodie tour!
