which korean drama character is perfect embodiment of a deadly sin? Basically I wanna see who you think of when I mention Pride? Gluttony? Envy? and so on. Of course, cdrama characters are acceptable too. Tis just a game. I love the way your replies never disappoint so... :p

Omg anon this is such a great question! It’s been a while since I’ve last watched a drama so these might not be the best answers.

Wrath/pride/lust - Jang Hyuk as Yi Bang Won in My Country - I think wrath and pride are pretty obvious and lust is really only there for me because I feel nothing but lust for this character ahahahaha.

Wrath - Wang So from Moon Lovers - if this isn’t wrath then you can revoke my Catholic card (actually, you can revoke it either way lol)

Envy - all crazy secondary leads ever. One of the first ones that comes to mind is Jung Joon Ho’s character in Iris. SHE DON’T WANT YOU BRO AND SHE NEVER HAS. The older brother in Cain and Abel as well. I remember cackling like a terrible person during one of the scenes where he was having a seizure on the ground because I loathed his character so much. Shunji from Gaksital fits as well. You can also put him under wrath.

Lust - Eric Moon’s character from Que Sera Sera. I haven’t actually watched this drama but based off of all the reviews and recaps I read way back when, I think this fits. Actually, that whole drama seems to embody a lot of the deadly sins 😂. If we’re talking jdrama, Kimura Takuya’s character from Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi is your boy. Ooh also Kim Nam Gil’s not-older sister in Bad Guy. Talk about lust!

Greed - hmm definitely any character striving to inherit the company/throne or poor person scheming to get rich. Ha Ji Won’s character from what happened in bali maybe?

I can’t really think of anything for sloth and gluttony right now. Anybody got suggestions?

MVP of Sin - what happened in Bali - if you’re looking for a deadly sin, you’ll probably find it here lol.

Runner up for MVP of Sin - The Rise of Phoenixes - there’s a whole lot of wrath, pride, envy, and greed going on in here.

EDITED TO ADD

Omg how could I leave out Daddy Wang from Monarch Industry for pride and greed? Also, Seagull, ahem, I mean Su Jin’er and Zitan for envy (is immense stupidity a deadly sin?). Greed and envy for General Song too.

Biblical Names We Pronounce Incorrectly

            On Facebook I am a part of several nerd related grounds. Many of them are not Christian. One group in particular, “Galactic Hitchhikers” is almost anti-Christian. This group formed out of a community love for a fantastic novel and its sequels: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Many memes on this page include anything related to sci-fi, space, movie adaptations, quotations, evolution and even Christian shaming. One thing I have noticed, besides the lack of Christian content, was one reason why several of the group’s members find Christianity “bogus”. When I read about it, I thought, “This is a relatively easy problem to solve, if we can get Christians on board.”  Some people are put-off by the Anglican/American pronunciations of Hebrew and Greek names in the Bible. They ask, “How can a dark haired middle-eastern man be named David? Or Joseph? Or fill-in-the blank.” They believe that if we are authentic (and we absolutely should be authentic), how could our English pronunciations infiltrate? To them, they think our pronunciations of Biblical names, were the actual names of everyone we read about, and they can’t stand it.

           As Christians, and especially the preachers of the Gospel, we do not want our actions to deter anyone from coming to the saving power of Jesus Christ. Every decision we make has a cause and effect. So, if people aren’t coming to Christ because of our “simple” pronunciations, then we should change, or at the very least, learn that our pronunciations are actually wrong.

           If we want to be as authentic as possible, we should learn the proper names of all of our favorite Biblical characters, especially when the salvation of others is at stake. To you, it might seen like a silly, insignificant thing, but to those who recognize it, it is significant. I am not suggesting that we learn the proper names and then use them only—we just need to be aware that we, as English/Anglican speakers, are not doing it justice.

           This multi-part series investigates the correct pronunciations of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek names in the Bible. The source I am going to be using is “The New Strong’s Complete Dictionary of Bible Words (1996) by James Strong. (This is not a complete list of all Biblical names.)

Zugzwang || Kaz || Trial 6-3 || Re: Everything / Attn: e.ve

He knows what’s on the piece of paper. Even before the trial, he was already acutely aware of what his teammate thought, and part of him was also certain that he shared Koharu’s thoughts on the matter. Was it friendship? Was it the need to not lose another friend? Was it just internal bias working its magic? Certainly, Kaz had a lot to consider as the baton was passed onto him, and he knew that in order to tackle this fairly… certain adjustments would be needed.

(he still has the time to give Koharu’s hand a squeeze before she departs for Atsuko and leaves him alone on the Cute Team’s side)

“Before I begin, I do want to address something. Red- no, Huang Yi Chen-san, while I appreciate your honesty in all matters, including being forthcoming about the existence of your twin brother, I ask that you please not drop any more last-minute truth bombs on the rest of the class. Especially because I doubt you are the accomplice, and in fact, I believe the entire game has been trying to make us distrust you over and over based on what we would end up finding about you. Sharing a last name with Huang Xiaozhu, your kitsune mask and now your twin brother after I suggested the possibility of my progenitor being Petbe is…” An odd, introspective look flits across Kaz’s face. Nevertheless, he continues. “Thank you for summarizing most of what we’ve all uncovered about Petbe’s physical traits and habits nonetheless. I hope I’m not wrong in trusting you, because if there’s anyone else I’d like for it not to be, you’re on that list as well.”

Inputting a series of commands, he takes a deep breath before acknowledging and executing the necessary changes. As the light starts to fade from his eyes, Kaz’s expression disappears into a blank stare, and his body language is muted. “To be as unbiased as possible in what I am about to state next, I have disabled my emotional protocols for fifteen minutes. Know that I dislike having to do this, but if we are going to have to make accusations, I cannot allow my personal feelings regarding the three of you to distract me. Let us begin this countdown.”

Withdrawing his notebook, Kaz flips across the pages. “The reason I brought up and narrowed down all three of our current main suspects is due to the need to connect what physical and circumstantial evidence we have to a face or faces. For example, the aforementioned hannya mask: while Red-san is not wrong, extrapolating the original mask shows it represents a jealous female demon. Evidence against Atsuko-san due to her being the only female suspect? Or is it a red herring precisely because she is being framed? And before we narrowed down the pool of suspects, would anyone have pointed the mask at Atsuko-san if she was not placed in the spotlight?” He looks up. “It was rhetorical, please do not expend any time answering that. The point is that reducing the number of possible avenues allows one to draw conclusions leading towards a suspect, instead of attempting to cross-hatch that information and hoping they align and point towards someone in particular. In this case, because of the allegations Atsuko-san has brought up, I will share what information I have gleaned about e.ve as well.”

“While it may be just coincidence, I would like to point out that e.ve’s real name is Ichiro Morimoto. While I'm aware it is spelled with different kanji than the normal interpretation, Ichiro can also mean ‘first son’, which incidentally ties back neatly to the firstborn Cain mentioned in the hint Fukumoto-san mentioned. While I do not know whether or not he has a brother, consider the implications of the following: Petbe takes a picture of a younger male who appears to be having more friends, more things to celebrate and thus more success than he does. Does that ring true to the fable of Cain and Abel? There is also the mention of Kai Midori-san, who while not present, does have ties to Mazawa-san’s class as he was in the Talent Course program that year. If we take the Rejection Letter at face value, there is the possibility that Petbe has been at Hope’s Peak Academy for longer and is thus about as old as Mazawa-san is. True, that does not point to any of our three nineteen-year old suspects,” he grudgingly admits. “But it still stands to reason that it does not preclude any of the three from possibly knowing them. That aside, does something else not seem quite odd to all of you?”

He closes his notebook, and finally stares directly at e.ve. “All of this time you’ve been focusing on pointing fingers at Atsuko-san. Granted, with very good reason to do so given the circumstances, but if there was anyone I would have thought you would accuse, it would be Ng-san. He is the only other one who fits within the biblical allegories due to his upbringing, and one can argue that, and with my sincerest apologies as I reveal it, his relationship with his sister Charmayne could point towards the hint about Cain and Abel. With regards to a possible rejection to Hope’s Peak Academy, there’s enough circumstantial evidence to support the possibility that he was rejected at the same time he had applied with her three years ago, and especially because his cologne was found on Petbe’s coat… and yet the most obvious and therewithin one of our suspects is the one you bring the least attention to. Consider me curious as to why that i-”

It’s right in the middle of his summation that the timer expires, and you witness the exact moment he freezes as his internal regulation of both virtual serotonin and adrenaline restarts itself. The gravity of the words he has uttered in the last fifteen minutes sinks in as the colour returns to his eyes, causing Kaz to stumble over his words as he hunches over the podium, gripping it for support. After he takes a few moments to process the bevy of repressed frustration and loss that assaults his senses, he looks up with a solemn expression on his face.

“Because I don’t want to keep doing this. To keep pointing fingers at each other and have to bank on chances and circumstance to find the truth of the matter.” Recomposing himself, Kaz straightens up in all of his 5′3″ glory to finish what he’s started. “I can say that I’m holding onto one last connection, one last piece of evidence that doesn’t indict any of the three outright, but I’m keeping this last ace close to the chest until we get confirmation of who the accomplice could be as well. Because I have faith it’ll either make or break their case. Now please, e.ve-san… address what Atsuko-san has to say. Please.”

And then he falls silent, waiting for the crucible to drop headlong into the fire.

GALLIM

Dancers of Gallim in Andrea Miller’s TO CREATE A WORLD. photo by Yi-Chun Wu

The Brooklyn-based dance company founded and directed by Andera Miller shows her newest work “To Create a World” to the Joyce Theater, February 12-17. The hour-long dance, set to a high-decibel noise-sound score by Will Epstein has already begun, as we enter the theater. Body parts press into the stretchy, 8-foot high white scrim, which spans the proscenium, making it look panoramic. As the house lights go down, a naked man (Gary Reagan) rolls from beneath the scrim, and stage lights rise behind the scrim on faux-nude dancers running and leaping wildly around the space.

From the chaos emerges a solo woman (Allysen Hooks) upstage, as Reagan lies prone downstage. Gradually, he begins to move, and the two become a duet. Is it Adam and Eve? The other five dancers enter slowly in a line that puts you in mind of the human evolution chart. Miller’s movement vocabulary is purposely ungainly, raw, awkward, yet physically expansive and athletic. Her dancers, though not encouraged to be “graceful,” are gifted with surprising flexibility, pulling their legs overhead or dropping suddenly into splits. And their stamina is constantly challenged by extremes of speed – sustained slow motion or manic jumping – and of weight-bearing – partners lugging each other from place to place in convoluted carries.

Burke Brown’s intriguing lighting and stage mist create a shadowy environment, from which bodies slowly emerge into light; you start checking the edges of the stage for new appearances. Group entrances dissolve into solos that exploit each dancer’s idiosyncrasy, or duets that  pair up complementary or contrasting physicalities.

In one duet, Solid, muscular David Maurice lumbers, sway-backed, as he partners ethereal Sung. When Maurice, who’s black, pairs with sturdy Dan Walczak – white – male energy reigns in benign conflict. Cain and Abel? Hooks and Reagan, who are featured in the dance, have additional encounters as well where her sturdy muscularity contrasts his gangly flexibility.

Around one of Hooks’s solos – serene, in a single spot – the rest of the company swirl, dragging bodies on the ground, lurching into the air, creating a physical loudness that matches the insistent nearly excessive volume of Epstein’s score. Inconspicuously, Reagan and Hooks canoodle alongside a martial stepping phrase by the others. During another group passage, Reagan leans against the sky cloth, sinks into its elasticity, and gets devoured, upside down, by it.

This would have been an effective ending, but…

Allysen Hooks in TO CREATE A WORLD. photo by Justin Chao

During another of Hooks’s solos, dancers rush in with a plastic tarpaulin that fills the stage; they waft it, front to back, alternately obscuring and revealing the dancers. When the dust settles, Reagan, now in orange boxing shorts has replaced Hooks, as the plastic glides offstage like lava, ebbing after a volcanic eruption. Finally, in an epilog, Sung enters, whipping yards of rust-colored fabric around herself, as the curtain falls. It could be the dying ember of a world destroyed or the embryo of a new one.
