Jang Geum, Oh My Grandma / Dae Jang Geum Is Watching. 7

Story: 6-7

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10❤️

Comparable to: Let’s Eat (kdrama); Drinking Solo (kdrama)

What could’ve been a cute cheesy romcom became a hot mess romcom at the end. One word of advice, do not watch this drama before eating or if you’re trying to diet, cause oof this show makes you want to eat. The storyline at first is your typical cheese fest bordering on a toothache filled of cliches. It’s weirdly unique where they break out in songs sometimes, why? who knows but it’s funny. There’s multiple couples in this, main leads, then another couple which were pretty cute. When it comes to the mid to last way mark is where it all falls apart with the mains storyline. (Some mild spoilers) I guess the writers decided the wanted more angst and thought it would be fun to set the main female lead up in a fun love triangle with both brothers. It just gets weird, the writing felt off the way they wrote it, I don’t know, most of it i fast forward through then. It’s not he worst but wish it had a better last half since both main leads Shin Dong Wook and YuRi had excellent chemistry together. The other couple Lee Yeol Eum and Lee Min Hyuk were great together too.

Author Han Kang won this year’s Nobel Prize in literature, becoming the first Asian woman to do so and the second Nobel laureate from South Korea. A woman being the first Korean author to win the prize is a breath of fresh air, especially as the poet Ko Un, long considered the most likely South Korean to win the prize, was exposed as a serial sexual harasser in 2018 by South Korea’s own Me Too movement.

Han’s win is also a triumph of South Korea’s fierce and resilient democracy. South Korea’s first Nobel laureate was Kim Dae-jung, an activist-turned-president who won the peace prize in 2000 for his efforts to restore democracy in the country and improve relations with North Korea. Han’s win echoes Kim’s path. Although Han initially gained international fame through her 2007 novel The Vegetarian, which won the 2016 International Booker Prize, her profile reached new heights with subsequent novels that delved into South Korea’s tortuous modern history: Human Acts was about the 1980 Gwangju Uprising, where hundreds of protesters were murdered by the dictatorship, and We Do Not Part was about the Jeju Massacre of the late 1940s by then-President Syngman Rhee, South Korea’s first autocrat.

Han’s Nobel Prize is a nod of recognition for the South Korean people’s struggle for freedom and democracy against the dictatorship that ruled the country for nearly five decades and still casts a shadow on Korean politics to this day.

Both Kim and Han are from South Joella province, the region that suffered the most under South Korea’s military dictators. Both gained renown through their connection to the 1980 Gwangju Uprising—Kim as a leader of the democracy movement that called attention to the massacre, and Han as the author of Human Acts, which examines the massacre from various perspectives, including an amateur mortician cleaning the bodies of the dead, a censored author, a survivor with post-traumatic stress disorder, and the dead themselves.

Han is part of a transformative generation of both political heroism and artistic talent. Han enrolled in Yonsei University in 1989, just two years after the death of Yonsei student activist Lee Han-yeol—the event that led to the fall of the Chun Doo-hwan dictatorship and South Korea’s transition to democracy. One year ahead of Han at Yonsei was Bong Joon-ho, a student activist who would go on to become an Oscar-winning director with movies such as Parasite and Snowpiercer, both sharp criticisms of capitalism. One year after Han at Seoul National University across town was Hwang Dong-hyuk, who would later win an Emmy Award as the director of Squid Game, a global hit TV series that also highlighted inequality in South Korea.

Though working in different mediums, Han, Bong, and Hwang were all forged in the crucible of South Korea’s tumultuous 1980s and ’90s. In those two decades, the country saw a brutal massacre and an authoritarian government that reveled in witch-hunting communists and the use of torture. Then the dictatorship fell, leading to electoral democracy, the Olympics, and a flowering of youth culture that sowed the seeds for the global popularity of K-pop and Korean dramas. But greater wealth and freedom soon gave way to hyper-competitive capitalism, inequality, and new uncertainties, causing some to pine for the simpler days of the past.

The works of South Korea’s democracy generation are resonating globally because, in the rhymes of history, today’s world resembles the South Korea that Han, Bong, and Hwang saw in their formative years. War and mass murder rage on, with their horrors felt more intimately than ever. Liberal democracy is barely holding on, with the masses willingly submitting to clownish authoritarianism. The world might be wealthier than before, but the small improvement in material conditions is cold comfort to those who lose out in the economic rat race. By looking back on their experiences, Han, Bong, and Hwang created works of art that ask painfully relevant questions for today’s world.

Han’s relentless focus on the violation of bodily integrity is what sets her apart from her predecessors and peers. Other giants of South Korean literature also dealt with the country’s tumultuous modern history, with authors like Jo Jeong-rae and Park Kyong-ni producing epic novels that vividly recount the decades of colonialism, war, and dictatorship. But Han distinguishes herself by drawing the connection of those decades to the effect on one’s body—something extremely personal.

The protagonist for The Vegetarian, for example, is an ordinary woman named Young-hye who suddenly finds meat disgusting, repelled by the implied violence in the food. In the face of subtle and overt violence committed by her husband’s family who cannot understand her decision, she slowly transforms herself into a tree. The Vegetarian gained popularity in South Korea with the rise of toxic misogyny among young men that fueled South Korean politics’ rightward turn—a trend that is now emerging in many parts of the world.

Han’s subsequent works widen the circle of violence from patriarchy to state violence, but her focus on bodily integrity remains the same. Human Acts opens with a stark image of massacred bodies piled on like meat at a butcher shop and one of the protagonists desperately trying to hold back the intestines from spilling out of them. The image is brutal, but not gratuitous—it is an image that must be confronted as reality, just like the horrific images of destruction in Ukraine or dead children in Gaza.

Softly but meticulously, Han’s works examine how social structures—as intimate as an oppressive family, or as distant as the dictatorship government across the sea—can cause such raw and exquisite pain. In doing so, Han asks the thorny but necessary questions for today. What must be done about all this pain? How can the world remain so cold and unmoved in the sight of such suffering? Having seen such suffering, how do we live with ourselves while maintaining human dignity, without drowning in self-hate and survivors’ guilt? Through masterful presentation of these questions, Han elevated the challenges that South Korea’s democracy generation has confronted for decades to issues for the whole world.

Han Kang’s books sell out as South Korea celebrates her Nobel prize in literature

Nine of the Top 10 bestsellers in Korea’s largest bookstore chain are works by Han with her win being honoured by politicians, authors, readers and the entire country

Queues of customers spilled out of South Korea’s bookshops yesterday and online stores crashed as readers tried to get their hands on the work of the new Nobel prize winner, Han Kang.

The country’s largest book chain, Kyobo Book Centre, said sales of Han’s books boomed on Friday, with stocks selling out almost straight away, reported Reuters.

South Korean politicians, authors and readers celebrated her win. President Yoon Suk Yeol congratulated her in a Facebook post, and in parliament multiple government hearings were paused as officials cheered the news.

“I was very surprised when I was first told the news of the award. When the phone call ended, I slowly regained my sense of reality and started to feel emotional,” Han said. “Thank you very much for selecting me as the winner. The huge waves of warm congratulations that were delivered to me throughout the day were also surprising. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

“Han Kang is a brilliant novelist who reflects our modern condition with courage, imagination, and intelligence,” said the Korean-American author of Pachinko, Min Jin Lee. “She is most worthy of this global recognition.”

Han became the first South Korean to win the Nobel prize in literature yesterday. “If one Korean novelist must win the Nobel prize in literature, it would have to be Han Kang,” said South Korean author Sung-il Kim.

Nine of the Top 10 bestsellers listed on the Kyobo site are Han’s works. The top seller, The Vegetarian – her 2007 novel which was translated into English in 2015 by Deborah Smith and subsequently won the International Booker – has climbed more than 350 places.

“We cheer and rejoice,” said South Korean author Kim Bo-young. “I am even prouder and happier that this winning of the prize directly refutes the foolishness of trying to hide and distort Korea’s past history.”

Han’s works often address historical traumas. Her 2014 novel, Human Acts, is about the May 1980 Gwangju uprising, while her 2021 novel – to be published in English with the title We Do Not Part in February next year – looks at the 1948-49 Jeju uprising.

“As soon as I heard the news of Han Kang’s Nobel prize win, I thought of her dedication to writing novels that address marginalised and discriminated groups,” said South Korean author Jeon Heyjin. “The next thought was that Han Kang is from the Honam region, like Kim Dae-jung.” Kim was the president of South Korea between 1998 and 2003, and received the Nobel peace prize in 2000.

“The Honam region and Gwangju have both suffered from discrimination and prejudice, endured the atrocities of dictatorship, and played an important historical role in sustaining democracy in Korea during harsh times,” she added. “I believe that, like Kim Dae-jung, Han Kang also represents the pain and discrimination of modern Korean history through her work while demonstrating the courage for all of us to move toward a better future.”

Han’s father said that the new laureate may decide to avoid the limelight, according to Reuters. “She said given the fierce Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Palestine wars and people dying every day, how could she celebrate and hold a joyous press conference?”

He said that Han received the news of her win about 10 to 15 minutes before the rest of the world found out. She was so surprised by it that she at one point thought it might be a scam.

A SHOULDER TO CRY ON

Finale

Korean BLs really excel.

Sadly, A Shoulder to Cry On was much too short, but for excellence in depicting a beautiful love story—kudos!

My only criticism would be that I would have appreciated being let in, a little more, on the characters motivations and the other characters could have been fleshed out a bit more.

If Korean BLs were only as long as their regular KDramas, that would really be a wondrous thing.

********************

THE ENDING…

…And they eventually consummated their relationship, when we weren’t watching, and lived happily ever after…THERE—I FIXED IT!

PS I WAS KINDA HOPING THERE WERE SEX TOYS IN TAE HYUN’S BLACK BAG!

South Korea’s opposition wants to impeach acting president Han

The opposition Democratic Party said it would introduce a bill to impeach South Korean acting president Han Duck-soo, Reuters reported.

Friday’s vote could worsen the country’s constitutional crisis caused by the brief martial law imposed by President Yoon Suk Yeol on 3 December.

The opposition also threatened to impeach Han unless he immediately appointed three judges to fill vacancies on the Constitutional Court. Parliament voted in favour of the three nominees on Thursday, but Han had yet to formally appoint them. Democratic Party leader Park Chan-dae stated:

It has become clear that Prime Minister and acting President Han Duck-soo does not have the qualification or the will to safeguard the Constitution.

If Han is impeached, the finance minister would take over his position. The Democratic Party enjoys control of parliament, but there is disagreement among the parties and some constitutional law experts over whether a simple majority or two-thirds vote is required to impeach the acting president.

Earlier on Thursday, Han said he would not appoint judges until the political parties reached an agreement on the appointments. Two of the proposed candidates for the Constitutional Court nominated for Thursday’s vote were proposed by the Democratic Party and one by Han’s ruling People Power Party.

The court is due to hold its first hearing on Friday to decide whether to suspend Yoon or reinstate him. Under the constitution, six justices must agree to remove an impeached president. This means the current justices must unanimously vote in favour of ousting Yoon.

Yoon, who was impeached by parliament in a 14 December vote, had not submitted legal documents requested by the court as of Thursday, court spokesman Lee Jean said at a news conference.

The president also failed to respond to another summons for questioning in a separate criminal investigation on Wednesday. Yoon’s repeated defiance sparked criticism and opposition calls for his arrest.

Tagged by @eriquin, thank you as always!

Been a rough week for writing, being out of town with friends for several days, but let's jam tonight (and maybe a little tomorrow). Same-ish files as always, aiming to finish Emergence by EOY, with some flavor from my new blorbos:

1 - Emergence

Steddie Witches AU

0 - Tales of the Outer Planes (Descent prequel)

Til I Lose My Breath (Ronance)

Pinocchio K (B&C)

Snippet below the cut!

From Pinocchio K (B&C):

“K, hey,” he muttered after the third round of deliberate motions and furrowed brows. Soo Yeol stepped over, gesturing at K like that explained it all. “What, did you get hurt? Why are you doing all this?” K only glanced up at him for a second, then resumed his stretches, bending in half with his palms flat on the floor. It was distractingly impressive. Soo Yeol wondered if he should look up whether this new identity, this Lee Kang Dae, was a former gymnast or something, because he certainly didn't learn that skill in Soo Yeol's body.

Tagging @gleek4twd @serpentinegraphite @poemsingreenink @thefreakandthehair and whoever else sees this - make me write!

WIP Wednesday Game

It’s WIP Wednesday, time for a little accountability, sharing your work, and getting a kick in the pants.

Here’s how it works:

In a reblog of this post (so people can find you in the notes) or new thread (w/ rules attached) if you want to play on your own, post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to play!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can't share from (for example, an event or gift fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.

That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post. I’ll be searching the reblogs to find people to send asks to!

If you’re reading this, you’re invited!

If you see someone posting a WIP Wednesday Game snippet, send them an ask! Make them write.

Requested/Friend event mentions under the cut! If you'd like to be pinged next week, let me know!

 2020 (56th) BaekSang Arts Awards - June 5, 2020

Best New Actress (Kim Da-Mi)

   Aynı adı taşıyan bir webtoon uyarlaması olan Itaewon Class, benim listelerimde ilk beşe girmeyi başaran bir dizi oldu. Gerek oyuncular/ oyunculuklar olsun gerek senaryo olsun tek kelime ile muazzamdı. Farklı konusu, alışılmadık bir kimyası olması beni daha ilk bölümden içine geçti. Konusu tek cümle ile özetlersem tam bir intikam hikayesi diyebilirim. Yer yer aşk serpiştirilmiş, arkadaşlık ile tatlandırılmış, zekice kurgulanmış bir yapımdı.

Park Sae-Ro-Yi (Park Seo-Joon), babası ile yaşayan asosyal bir çocuktur. Babası Park Sung-Yeol (Son Hyun-Joo) yıllar önce küçük bir cafe olarak başlayıp, günümüzde Kore’nin en büyük yemek/cafe zinciri halini almış bir firmada çalışmaktadır. Firmanın başkanı/sahibi Jang Dae-Hee  ( Yoo Jae-Myung) , Park Sae-Ro-Yi’i de oğlu ile aynı okula burslu olarak yazdırır. Babası, başkanın oğlu ile yakın arkadaş olmasını insanlarla iyi geçinmesini tembihler. Ancak okulun ilk günü Sae-Ro-Yi sınıfta zorbalık yapıldığına şahit olur ve öğretmen dahil kimsenin müdahale etmemesine anlam veremez. Yetiştirilme tarzı ve karakteri sessiz kalmasına müsaade etmez. Zorbalık yapan çocuğa attığı yumruk ile bütün dizinin ve hikayenin gidişatını şekillendirir. Zorbalık yapan çocuk ise başkanın oğludur.

Okul müdürünün odasında başkan, oğlu, Saeroyi ve babası toplanırlar. Başkan diz çöküp oğlundan özür dilemesini ister. Saeroyi ise asıl özür dilemesi gerekenin zorbalık yapan oğlu olduğunu söyler ve dimdik karşısında durur. Bunun üzerine okuldan uzaklaştırma alırken babası da işten kovulur. Konu başlangıçta biraz ağırmış gibi gelebilir ama kesinlikle dizi dram ağırlıklı değil. Hatta yer yer komedi, azıcık romantizm var. Dram ise intikam ile harmanlandığı için içinizi buruşturmuyor. İzlerken yorulmuyorsunuz, heyecanla akıyor bölümler. Aslında bir bakıma yeni nesil kore dizilerini temsil ediyor bile diyebilirsiniz. Kdrama klişelerinden kopuk, bambaşka bir konsepti var.

İntikam hikayesi dedim ama gözü dönmüş, kendine ve çevresine zarar veren bir intikamdan bahsetmiyorum. Burada işlenen intikam, zekice kurgulanmış ve başrol karakterin hayatına ince ince işlenmiş.  Park Sae-Ro-Yi, intikam almaya çalışırken aynı zamanda hayatı nasıl yaşamak istediğinin bilmecesini çözüyor. Aynı zamanda hedefi intikam almaya çalıştığı kişiyi mahvetmek değil, ondan daha iyi olmak.

Diziyi o kadar beğendim ki, fazla üzerine konuşup tadını kaçırmak istemiyorum. Karakterler renkliydi, konu zekiceydi, oyunculuklar şahaneydi. Ve OST’ler inanılmazdı. Müziklere bayıldım. Mekan seçimleri, çekimler, dizinin kurgusu kaliteliydi. Sinirlendim, güldüm, eğlendim, ağladım. Bütün duyguları bana yaşattılar. Uzun zamandır bu kadar kaliteli bir dizi izlememiştim. Keza oyuncudan da bahsetmek lazım. Park Seo-Joon!!! Sanırım ilk defa birinin görünüşünden ziyade oyunculuğunu beğendim. Birçok oyuncu oynadığı dizilerde hemen hemen aynı mimikler, ses tonu ve tavırlar ile rol yapıyor. Park Seo-Joon ise role o kadar girmiş ki, sonrasında onu başka yerlerde izlediğimde inanamadım. Karakter ile bütünleşmiş, dersine iyi çalışmış. Hatta daha önce bazı yerlerde izlemişim ama dikkatimi burada çekti diyebilirim. Dizinin yanı sıra oyuncuda favorim oldu diyebilirim.

Yan rollerden de ufak bahsedeyim. Park Sae-Ro-Yi’nin küçük bir grubu bir araya getirmesi ile ortaya çıkan farklı karakter ve kişilikler dizinin kalbini oluşturuyor. Ma Hyun-Yi (Lee Joo-Young) grubun aşçısı olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. Trans bir bireyi oynuyor olmasından dolayı dizi yayınlanırken baya destek ve takdir toplamış. Dizi içindeki karakteri de çok başarılıydı. Oyuncuyu daha önce Weightlifting fairy kim book joo dizisinde, Book Joo’nun yakın arkadaşı rolünde izlemiştik. Bir diğeri, Choi Seung-Kwon (Ryoo Kyung-Soo), grubun hem garsonu hem koruması olarak düşünebilirsiniz. Mafyadan ayrıldıktan sonra Sae-Ro-Yi ile çalışmaya başlayan bu karakterde oldukça renkli.  Öfke problemleri yaşayan ama her zaman arkadaşlarını korumak için ne gerekiyorsa yapan bir karakter. Ve grubun gerçek beyni olan Jo Yi-Seo(Kim Da-Mi). Kore kızlarının standart güzelliğine inat, özgün görünüşüyle grubun hem yöneticisi hem en küçüğüydü. Yüksek IQ sahibi bu genç kız, bütün satış stratejilerini ve reklam çözümlerini üsleniyor. Bir miktar sosyopat olması nedeni ile insan tepkileri ve duyguları konusunda zayıf olsa da, grup içerisinde kendine yer bulup insanları anlama yolculuğuna çıkıyor.

Bir kaç yan rol daha var tabi ki ama hepsinin üzerinden tek tek geçmek istemedim. Özellikle Park Sae-Ro-Yi’nin okula ilk başladığı zaman tanıştığı bir kızımız Oh Soo-A (Kwon Na-Ra ) var. Saeroyi ne anladı ne kadar tanıdı bilmiyorum bu kıza aşık oluyor. Dizinin uzunca bir bölümünde sadece ona aşık olduğunu söylese de gözle görülür bir aşk izlemiyorsunuz. Nefret bir karakter. Her bölüm ayrı ayrı söverek izledim. Dizinin başlarında söylediği ve yaptığı şeylere rağmen, kendisine ve karakterine zıt bir hayat yaşamayı seçiyor. Ah bir de kötü adamımız, yumruk yiyerek dizinin başlangıcına vesile olan başkanın zorba oğlu Jang Geun-Won(Ahn Bo-Hyun) var. Kendisini Her Private Life dizisinde ikinci adam rolüyle izlemiştim. Oyunculuğuna başarılı demeliyim ki hem kendisinden oldukça nefret ettirtti hem de onun adına üzüldük. Asıl kötü adam ise daha önce bir çok yerde izlediğim ve genelde komik, sevimli rollerde oynayan Yoo Jae-Myung’dı. Kötü adam rolü inanılmaz yakışmıştı. Hatta oyunculuğu o kadar iyiydi ki, kötü adam rolü üstüne yapışmadan son derece profesyonellikle oynamıştı.

Ve final, diziyi sevdiğim kadar finalini de sevdim. Yani özetle, on numara beş yıldız diziydi. İlle vıcık vıcık aşk izlemek istiyorum diyen varsa önermem ama onun dışında herkese gözüm kapalı öneririm.
