tell me WHY the ending of ep 7 always has me WAILING with dong kyung's flashbacks of her beloveds calling her name during hard times which she finds comfort in and now it's myul mang getting added to that list <//3
it's such an emotional moment for both of them, her telling him that "did you think I wouldn't be able to find you if you hid like that?" "i told you that I know everything now, i know that you are nice." after he's been through devastation the entire episode, hiding & blaming himself for being all the bad that has happened to her.
and then him realising he can't hold his feelings back anymore giving up and embracing her. :,))
#this drama will forever have me in shambles ik it#sal watches: doom at your service 🚪#doom at your service#myul mang#tak dong kyung#seo in guk#park bo young#tvn doom at your service

ONE PIECE reading musings
Most importantly: buggy hairdo
(yes that's his real hair)
more under the cut
"I can't swim, but if this took me it would be a shame. Ah! In this situation it doesn't matter if I can swim or not!"
Luffy talking about the whirlpool taking him and him being so stoic??? Iconic, it sounds goofy coming from him but what else can he do lmao it actually makes so much sense
This panel with nami and buggy is just too good. Look at their faces lmao
"Nami: I can't fight with a group of men as big as that! I am weak!
Usopp: don't leave it up to me because I am a man! I am so scared my legs are shaking! Look!
Nami: Look at me, I am near tears!
Usopp: your eyes are completely dry!"
Usopp and Nami just having a crying off
Nami: why did you get mad earlier?
Luffy: I hate them, they do everything wrong
Nami: what are you saying? They were pirates, of course they were doing it wrong
Luffy knowing and kinda explaining how there is a good way of being a pirate but nami doesn't quite get it yet. Until she leaves the baratie and cries about it, wishing to go back with them again.... I think she gets it there. Also the first of many times nami just sits beside Luffy when he is down my beloved
Johnny just name dropping mihawk and telling zoro he MIGHT be there and zoro looks TERRIFIED? it's like he was expecting to die there and he knows he is too weak to face him and win so when this happens:
Sanji tells zoro they all are going towards their death and that they are idiots and zoro says:
"I threw my life away the moment I decided to become the best swordsman in the world, the only person that can call me dumb is me."
He is speaking like he knows he is going to die and he is scared when he hears about mihawk because he didn't expect to be so unprepared. Death is coming for him earlier that it should LIKE IT DID TO KUINA but spoiler... He gets to live because of his ambition GIVEN BY KUINA it's like a double edged sword. Kuina made you ambitious enough to die for your promise to her but that promise is going to make you live enough to see it.
This is actually so good and the fact this influences sanji to go after his dream like damn. Interlaced together since sanji was introduced
Zoro about to die for his dreams and what does sanji say? Give up your dreams if they will cost you your life. Because that's exactly the example he has since zeff stopped being a pirate to save sanji's life... But that's not the takeaway my boy.... Zeff wants you to go after your dream
Sanji saying he took everything zeff cared about away from him.... He gave it away FOR YOU!!!! And Luffy hitting him with the "death doesn't repay debts... He didn't save you for that!" And then the one two hit of shank's panel.... Damn
I don't even need to translate anything here but Luffy understood zeff since the beginning and he didn't hear one word from him. Luffy asking if he won't say goodbye and then looking at sanji like that..... There is not a bigger undesrtander than him. Just made that word up. And sanji's hard fucking head had to be told by like 15 different people to leave and still just left bc he thought he wasn't wanted anymore there. The guy who didn't understand what the story was about until his father told him. Christ don krieg is annoying but Baratie is so good. And extensive because sanji is so fucking stubborn about his debt to zeff. Incredible. Look at Luffy's happy face.
#and zeff seeing those purposeful idiots and going huh this is it for my little aubergine... lets kick him out#also nami leaves akdhaka the crew is in SHAMBLES!! no boat no treasure no cook and zoro is about to die ajdkajska#sanji knowing zoro by legend also..... yeahh.....#and nami cliffhanger.... hell yes it just gets better and better#talking tag#reading one piece#chapter 50#i think zoro fisrt meeting mihawk is them matcjing each others freak like zoro says no man slice me in the front and mihawk smiles and says#fascinating!!! like yeah.... i guess....#also luffy was truly suffering thru it all like damn... he was so scared.... but also hopeful like he was holding dong johnny and yasuke#sanji and zoro got married in wano but luffy and zoro got married right here when zoro made his promise to luffy actually#zeff treating sanji like a kid aka protecting him.... damn....#in retrospective is just much better... chefs kiss.....#SANJI JUST TAKING EVERY ATTACK FROM THE PEARL GUY BC ZEFF IS BEIGN HELD AT GUNPOINT.... GOD!!!!#the cooks from the ship sanji sailed with care so much about him.... thats so cute... one calls him my boy akdjsk#sanji's backstory but more fucked up: sanji passes out and zeff decides to feed him some meat.... sanji asks where did it came from bc he#saw his leg but zeff says he killed a seagull.... idk why not make it worse just because....#chapter 68#atp this is just for me bc nobody is reading this much bullshit but alas we continue#i ike keeping my thots in one place#i am gonna have so much shit to say with arlong park like damn#NAMI HOLD OOON#baratie arc#east blue arc

decided to re-watch "parasite" this morning, and it finally dawned on me that the class dynamics portrayed in the film are misread by everyone who watches it. not leaving myself out of this indictment, btw. it took multiple watches for the other shoe to drop.
the kim & park parents were both born middle class. the difference is that one family was downwardly mobile, while the other was upwardly mobile. you see this with the kim parents being a former small business owner, and a formerly celebrated athelete who's college educated. you see this with the park parents, with how the film emphasizes how dong-ik/nathan's wealth was self-made, and the general cluelessness the family has about high culture.
i feel like it's forgivable to not see this until you've watched something multiple times, but i'm still annoyed this flew by my head.

doom at your service
this show wrecked me and healed me then wrecked me and healed me again. send help.
one of the most beautiful shows I've seen, made me giddy and happy at 2 am. there's something abt the trope of 'guy who hates everyone but her' that makes us all weak in the knees.
i. the concept of the series. seriously. chef's kiss. doom falls in love with a human? spectacular. stupendous. amazing. the storyline was executed so well, the cast was great, the twists and turns. everything, top tier.
ii. the acting was amazing, seeing park bo young cry made me want to cry as well. when doom turned from expressionless-humanity-is-shit asshole to i-will-become-human-for-her boyfriend was one of the best arcs ive seen. tak dong kyung was the perfect protag, not "im not like other girls" or "kind to a fault". she was kind, an incredible human being, but not at her own expense. loved that for her.
iii. the! second! couple! they had me more invested than most love triangle shows. cha joo ik was so fucking iconic, bad boy supreme but not an asshole somehow. i never thought someone would be able to toe this line so well tbh. na ji na, perfect example of girl stuck in the past, and a perfect arc as well. the third guy, lee hyun kyu, sort of annoyed me a bit but then he redeemed himself. good on you, hyun kyu, for growing up.
iv. i do think the whole forgetting thing was a bit unnecessary, but ig some might depict it in terms of "they tried everything but it still didn't work". also, the scene where they remember was so worth it.
v. special thanks to korea for giving me beautiful words for doom (멸망, myul mang) and fate (운명, unmyeong).
i always love it when tragic themes/ideas which are inherently seen as bad are portrayed in a positive way. doom at your service gave me that and more. love u guys.

Remembering Lee Sun-kyun 1975-2023
Sad news that South Korean actor Lee Sun-kyun has died at 48 of an apparent suicide.
International audiences knew him for the excellent Oscar-winning 2019 film Parasite, in which he played Park Dong-ik, the husband/father of the wealthy Park family. The film was the rare time the Academy got it right by rewarding a foreign film that is bonkers, makes a strong statement about class warfare, and was completely original! I included it in my Best Movies of the 2010s list.

Doom at your service
Year : 2021 | Country : KR | Nb of episodes: 16
My rate: 5/10
Synopsis :
Tak Dong Kyung has been working hard ever since her parents passed away. Her life seemed more stable after working as a web novel editor for 6 years, but then she gets diagnosed with glioblastoma (brain cancer). She blames her unlucky life and wishes to curse everything to disappear, which unintentionally calls Myeol Mang, Doom himself - neither human nor god - to appear.
Myeol Mang says that he can grant Dong Kyung's wishes. As her last hope, she makes a contract with Myeol Mang for a hundred days to live how she wants, risking her everything.
Main cast :
Park Bo Young as Tak Dong Kyung
Seo In Guk as Kim Sa Ram/ Myeol Mang
Lee Soo Hyuk as Cha Joo Ik
Kang Tae Ho as Lee Hyun Gyu
Shin Do Hyun as Na Ji Na
My thoughts on this drama :
I don't know what I was expecting when I started this one. Certainly not what I got. I wasn't expecting to laugh with such a title. The end is also anticlimatic. No spoiler here but I would have prefered it to end is a not so happy ending. No rewatch value whatsoever for that one.
A Favorite ?
NO

Opinion
This is a very good series, I binge watched it in a few days. I loved the queen! How strong, resourceful, and independent she was. I loved all the characters, especially the queen and prince Seongnam. I also loved how the king was very supportive of her. The series had a lot of different topics, from motherhood to sexuality. It's a drama series. There are no gore or sex scenes. I recommend this series to anyone who likes history dramas.
You can watch on Netflix

Parasite Film Review
Bong Joon-Ho's 2019 film Parasite is a bold exploration of poverty, classism, and the human condition, deftly blending dark comedy, thriller, and social commentary. The film is an intricate portrayal of two families on opposite ends of the socioeconomic spectrum: the wealthy Parks and the impoverished Kim's. What begins as a sly infiltration by the Kim family into the Parks’ home quickly spirals into a tale of deception, exploitation, and tragedy.
At its core, Parasite examines class inequality through layered metaphors and sharp storytelling. The Kim's’ ascent into the Park household is a calculated performance of wit and trickery. By presenting themselves as unrelated, highly qualified professionals, they gradually displace the Parks’ existing staff. Their initial triumph highlights their resourcefulness but also the lengths they must go to simply survive in a society that systematically excludes them.
The film takes a chilling turn when the Kim's discover they are not the only ones exploiting the Parks. The former housekeeper, Moon-gwang, has been secretly sheltering her husband, Geun-se, in the Parks’ basement for years. This shocking revelation intensifies the narrative, exposing the desperate and dehumanizing measures poverty forces upon people. The Parks remain blissfully unaware of the chaos brewing beneath their lavish home, an ironic testament to their detachment from the struggles of the less fortunate.
Classism is vividly portrayed through small yet significant details, particularly the theme of smell. Park Dong-Ik, the patriarch of the wealthy family, frequently comments on the unpleasant odor of Mr. Kim, the Kim family’s father. This recurring observation is not just about personal hygiene but a symbolic manifestation of the invisible divide between the classes. In one scene, Yeon-Kyo, Mrs. Park, lounges in the backseat of the car driven by Mr. Kim, casually lifting her feet and covering her nose—a subtle yet cutting display of disregard and superiority.
The motif of smell becomes pivotal during the film’s climax. Amid a chaotic sequence at a party, Geun-se emerges from the basement to wreak havoc, stabbing Ki-Jung, the Kim daughter, and attacking Ki-Woo, the son. In the ensuing chaos, Park Dong-Ik demands his car keys from Mr. Kim. However, his reaction to Geun-se’s odor—a reflexive expression of disgust—becomes the breaking point for Mr. Kim. The moment encapsulates years of pent-up resentment and humiliation, culminating in Mr. Kim fatally stabbing Park Dong-Ik.
By the end, the Kim's quest for a better life ends in devastation. Ki-Jung is dead, Ki-Woo is left brain-damaged, and Mr. Kim is forced into hiding in the same basement that once imprisoned Geun-se. This cyclical irony underscores the futility of their efforts and the entrenched nature of societal hierarchies.
Parasite is a poignant reminder of the systemic barriers that perpetuate inequality. Bong Joon-Ho crafts a narrative that is both deeply specific to Korean society and universally resonant. I think the film also illustrates how a lot of people in low-income situations don’t look at the big picture, not because they’re dumb but rather lack the financial understanding to want more out of life than the big house. In the case of the Kim family, they use deceit and trickery to get their way but didn’t think about the long term, only short-term satisfaction.

Parasite - A Divide In Class
Title – Parasite (2019)
Director – Bong Joon-Ho
Cast – Choi Woo-shik, Park So-dam, Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Jang Hye-jin
Plot – Parasite revolves around the Kim family of four living below the poverty line, struggling to make ends meet. But then (!!) the son of the family, Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik), gets a business venture from his friend, Min (Park Seo-joon), to work as a tutor for the daughter of the rich, well-off Park family. This is the initial catapult into this story… Slowly (but surely), the Kims worm their way into the lives of the Parks like parasites…
At its core, this film is a social commentary on the deep-rooted societal issues of class division and economic inequality present in South Korea. It gives insight into the divide between the two classes and serves as a device to portray the grim contrast of the ever-growing gap between the rich and the poor. Parasite is a story that doesn’t necessarily have villains or heroes, just people who are products of their environments. This thriller-comedy explores the lengths people will go to support their families.
Before I delve into these influential characters that were created for this film, I want to address the recent passing of Lee Sun-kyun. Lee played the role of Park Dong-ik, the patriarch of the Park family, and he did an exceptional job of portraying a pompous businessman. Sadly, the actor took his own life on the 27th of December, 2023. This came as quite a shock, not only in South Korea but to the rest of the world. Lee Sun-kyun was a well-known K-drama actor known for his notable role in Coffee Prince (Lee Yoon-jung, 2007). The circumstance revolving around his death is one that I hope gives South Koreans an awakening to the worrisome problem of famous Korean stars feeling pressure into committing suicide as the only option for their personal issues. Lee Sun-kyun will be remembered as an outstanding actor.
The cast of this film worked insanely well together, which is reflected in how the characters interacted with one another. Each character brings a different aspect and perspective to the story.
Park Yeon-kyo (Cho Yeo-jeong), the mother of the affluent family, fell for the scheme of the Kim family, thinking that she was making the best choices for her family. While this can be seen as wrongdoing by the Kims, they were left in a dire situation where this seemed like the best option. The system they are living in South Korea does not favour them, so why should they oblige to it?
From a technical standpoint, Parasite exceeds all expectations for a successful film. Places where this film truly excels are in the use of sets and props. One prop detail that stands out to me is the waste bin in the Park household. It can be a detail that is easily overlooked, but the waste bin is completely silent and only for $2300! This is obviously quite a hefty price for a bin, and Bong Joon-ho thought so as well, stating that he “and my (his) crew members were like: ‘What the f**k? What kind of idiot would buy a trash can that’s going to smell anyway?” The absurdity of the price of the bin is funnily enough fitting to something that would definitely be in the Park’s house.
Bong Joon-Ho is able to convey his message in the division of class between the Kims and Parks through the different sets for their houses. The Kim family live in a basement flat at the bottom of a hill, symbolising how they are at the lowest, not only literally but also financially. They are crammed into a filthy apartment that is regularly mentioned as being pungent, to the point where it leaves a smell on them. Meanwhile, the Park family lives near the top of a hill, representing their financial prospects. This house is depicted as a grand architectural masterpiece that is always clean and tidy, thanks to the domestic housekeeper.
Bong Joon-Ho truly created a cinematic masterpiece with this film, and I am not saying this to be biased; he literally did. Parasite received the Palme d’Or from the Cannes Film Festival and four Academy Awards from the Oscars, including the ones for Best Picture and Best Directing. Bong achieved an incredibly difficult feat by receiving the most prestigious awards, and all for the same film. This mass international recognition from a South Korean film to a Western audience was a challenge, considering the language barrier, but despite that, in a historical moment, Parasite was the first non-English film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. All these awards only further prove how Bong Joon-Ho is one the most credible and decorated directors of this age in cinema.
Concluding Thoughts – In the end, Parasite is a film that was deserving of all the awards and praise it received. I’m embarrassed to say it took me four years after its initial release to view the film; I feel that I missed out on its original hype, but regardless of that, I am very glad I thoroughly enjoyed it. This film captivates through brilliantly thought-through dark humour in a way that many other films strive to. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has yet to watch it!
My final rating – ★★★★★

When you are the best boxer because you say shit like it is

Remember i actually tried peace y'all just never realized it.. i said i was different but still some of us are mixed.. that ain't their culture because things are similar or they have gypsy or egyptian influence doesn't even belong to half the latrashtinos there... but they were the ones continuing to want it all for themselves
. This is recorded here.
They are stupid enough to think that i wasn't doing that with a purpose which is to fluentemente pass a message from asia and africa to all of them
So two thinks
Our stars always dead
Randy used to hightlight jews and their page if full of natives or jews... totally trying to already replace us
Asia is reading
Jewish kids behaving black, gypsy and russian hip hopers with bloodline and stars
Two natives , 1 jewish that can never fix his hair and face, a wannabe me dull af
Want to see his ufc match? I just need to say that and the fact mcmahon never forgav him it was the jews of course. Also i don believe in people that dress witha native shirt like he did before when he is in fact atheist and from an ashkanazi fam
instagram
We are even more united bitch no equality programs that end up with us ded

So that check person never killedd anyone, hanas don exist as hostages they aree running away coz that"s what you would do if someone framed you as tserrorists (there's no videos of hostages ahahb and those children from that video looking happy and safe as hell wasn't even hostages, people of gaza have been purposly left out of israel on purpose most of them have disabilities, israel only exists as a old ass kingdom long gone and most recently from a colonization from 75 years ago when the holocaust happened and hitler actually never diedd just moved to palestine which was a country since idk ancient rome for example it was like that for centuries, the holocaust victims wasn't the jews but almost half of europe that is why you havs shitloads of land destroyed to this day and poor people that don exist as much in israel unless you are arabic andd suffer from racism, ukraine was a base for concentration camps, russia fought directly with nazi germany so they know wtf they are talking about, almost all the world realized this, if you search for the holocaust fotos they ar dressed romany and arabic as in turkish Muslim etc, even cogi children are being explored and suffered a holocasut there done by the jews again and they aree more black than the rock, the entire world knows about this except the usa, y'all literally started this multiple times... and what else? You beat off people at every part of the world oh and portugal payed a debt that was never theirs to israel for the armory they have now to kill people.
Well the last part unfortunately he was wrong
We was on our own lane... after years and years of abuse, and you still came after us again and i ain't supposed to say this? They go rape congo citizens and then send their missionaries to guilt trip the men like if it was even dem!!
Wwe's entire issue with wut i had to say is a saulty comment about germany that was started by them and yah they are teammates because they've togetherly put me on lithium and killed my kind if you think that is a joke maybe you better reavaluate your priorities specially because the entire world is watching and you're gonna lose deals like that coz you don play with this sort of shit...want an holocaust in the usa and then i say it was the germans?
Ps. Lez also not forget germans like to com here and ask why we have specific color... they say wow i was expecting for lighter skinned people... yah that happens when they don point to your skin and ask why wee have this color since we are european.. being asian pale like me which is in fact different skintone of black person
They literally don know anything about this side of europe and then be stupid af...
instagram
Japan might be dumb again because they hate russia but last time that happened they didn't end up well... and it wasn't the entire world againts them like this time around
