My Youth keeps making me feel anxious!! I wish that there wasn't so much angst!

On a theological level, I think that a work like John Peckham's "Divine Attributes" has made some helpful corrections/ adjustments to the overstatements of classical theology!

This post makes me so incredibly hopeful. Hopeful that this assclown will continue to alienate his supporters so that we can move on from the most embarrassing & reprehensible elected leader ever. Hopefully there will be a Nuremberg-type trial after this. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I was glad that your post started me checking for this--it looks like a great combo! Grim Reaper meets Weightlifting Fairy!

I think this is going to be one of my favorites of 2025 from just one episode. Cast is on point with fast character development; script is insightful, hilarious, and intriguing; and the filmmaking feels top notch. What a comeback for Lee Jong suk!!

Looking forward to receiving his latest, Lake of Darkness, tomorrow (on MY birthday!!)

Went to see K-film "Hi.5" tonight with my wife and our K-drama buddies!! It was a blast and we had so much fun pointing out actors from various shows (3 of whom are currently in "Our Unwritten Seoul" even though this was filmed 4 years ago!!). Also kind of sad to see our fallen star Yoo In-ah...

I just hate the concept of anyone punching that handsome face!! 😝

I feel like the logistics of pulling off a fatal T-Bone car crash at high speed would be pretty difficult to pull off. This is not one of my favorite tropes...

Update: it's good

I'm sorry, makers of "Goodboy" but who in the world would put a face as handsome as Park Bo-gum's into a boxing ring? There's a limit to my ability to suspend disbelief.

Man, that kid's smile lights up the screen!! Hope this show turns out well. Amazon doesn't have the best record at picking shows

Yes Goodboy is May 31 on Amazon Prime!! Also, Oh My Ghost Clients starts in 3 days on Viki with Jung Kyung-ho (from Prison Playbook and Hospital Playlist) and Seol In-ah (Twinkling Watermelon and Business Proposal). Looks really fun!!

Watched the first half of Nine Puzzles, still intrigued (mysteries are not my favorite but it's got a strong cast & creative storytelling/filming). I'm loving Second Shot at Love. Continuing a sweet C-drama called Always Home. Loved first 2 eps of Our Unwritten Seoul. Ready for Goodboy to start!!

Two actresses that I always feel like I'm rooting for but seem perpetually stuck in supporting roles are Shin Do-hyun (who was so great in Doom at Your Service) and Jang Hee-ryung (who was recently in The Witch but sticks in my mind the most from Sh**ting Stars).

Excited for many generations of students to learn from your wisdom and insights!! Long live Dr. Imes!!

Quite a moving & vivid recollection. I can see why it stuck with AJ over time.

It was, incidentally, one of his posts that first pointed me to your works--grateful for that introduction, 23 novels later (with my 24th arriving on July 1) along with various novellas and short stories!!

This post got me thinking about my favorite K-drama writers...

I'm visiting one of my oldest/dearest childhood friends in Austin & he's prepared a double-feature film fest for my visit consisting of movies our parents wouldn't let us watch when we were kids!!

We're starting out w Conan/Highlander (I never did see Conan but did watch Highlander many times!)

His voice is what I can't get over. So one of a kind. His acting was amazing--so subtle and yet powerful

My problem with the ending was that it seemed framed as a comfort drama during Covid, like we can get thru hard times w the help of love & friends. So my wife & I were both backing on the idea they were fooling us to set us up for a happy ending (in hopes we could get thru Covid happy too). Let down

Same. My Mister...once I finished it I couldn't believe what I watched. The same writer did My Liberation Notes & Another Miss Oh. Such a genius!

I only got to ep. 3. I love the writer, the cast is great--I just couldn't get into it for some reason

Wow, my world just got a lot bigger after reading your list!! Thanks for broadening my viewing horizons!!

I feel like this show is criminally under appreciated!! It had some flaws (like the early focus on the band) but it's really incredibly well made!!
