I really need to get this out. The homophobic world in general and filmmakers and actors in particular need to take a lesson or two from Korean actors and filmmakers about portraying transgenders.

@luvthvgguk very true.. actually it's not just in the movies, some of the real life transgenders I've come across are also repulsive and loud. These Korean films and shows really make it clear that it's not the norm to be that way. ♡

@Tae_Candy_1996 i totally agree with you on this. especially since i have seen the misrepresentation of the queer community in the films of my country and it's really a huge turn off. the korean film industry is very flawless

@Tae_Candy_1996 thank you, love. 
            
            That's so nice and relaxing. I'll have to watch that show. I can never forget Dr. Kim from Sinners ♡
            
            There is a movie that just came out on Netflix called parasite that I want to watch

@SamanthaMoore226 aww that's such a nice way to spend Valentine's.
            
            I did nothing much that day except for obsessively watching the old korean drama, good doctor. It's really good, and they're all pediatric surgeons, which keeps reminding me of Dr. Kim from Sinners ❤❤

@Tae_Candy_1996 it's okay, love. My Valentine's Day was nice. We went and saw Love hurts in the theater. It was a good movie and than we just cooked at home. 
            
            How was your Valentine's Day? ❤️

Hi love, 
          
          Did Taehyung's photo book come out already? I thought it said February 3rd but not sure

SamanthaMoore226

@Tae_Candy_1996 thank you for letting me know, love.  I see photos on Instagram but I know they also post on weverse sometimes so I was confused.

@SamanthaMoore226 hi Samantha
            
            Yes, I think it has come out. I came across an unboxing video on Instagram a while ago.

Binged both the seasons of Squid Games and I'm not at all satisfied with the last episode! T^T I wanted moreee!<3
          
          Thank you so much for the recommendation both seasons were so so so thrilling! 
          
          Really looking forward for Taehyung's presence in the series. And I really hope that we'll get some sort of closure in the next season! :") ❤️‍

@Tae_Candy_1996 I think your theory is somewhat relevant. I mean if Gi-hun is being manipulated into taking up the role, it could mean the cycle of the games continues in an unexpected way. Whether he resists or gives in would be a major turning point in the series.
            
            Either way we just have to wait to know what will happen :")

@gracefully_elegant exactly! He deserved to be there because he made the games so much more fun!! I'll forever be sad he died T_T
            
            I think it must have been to make money for his wife's liver transplant. But unfortunately she died, and that too with a child. He's also said to be a foster son, and the mom is guilty for not making any efforts to save frontman's wife. So I guess he lost his belief in humanity and decided to join the games and be ruthless. I also believe only winners are allowed to take up respectable positions. So her befriended 456 to probably coax him to quit trying to stop it and become the next frontman or smth? Idk it's just my theory T_T

@Tae_Candy_1996 Yes, the way Thanos died was so abrupt! I thought he would last longer and even expected his friend to die first. But unexpectedly, he died, which felt really unsatisfying. :") I thought we’d see him progress further in the game, but that didn’t happen. T^T
            
            I agree—the Frontman's story is still a mystery. I really wanted to know why he joined the game in the first place. Also, why did he befriend 456 out of everyone? There's so much more to uncover, and I can't wait for Season 3! :'D

Hi love, 
          
          Are you reading anything at the moment on wattpad? I was asking because I haven't been getting book updates (chapter updates) when authors post new chapters to their story since yesterday morning. I was curious if it's happening to you as well or it's just something on my end?

Finally found the time to binge watch Squid Game 2... oh man! I thought it would be a little easier since I knew the games from season 1, but boy oh boy! It had me hanging on to the edge of my seat at all times. I'm so so eager for sesson 3 now, and I hate it that they left us hanging like this. 7 episodes was just too little.
          
          P.S.: My hopes of Taehyung making an appearance in season 3 is at an all time high, and I'm looking forward to it more than anything now!!!!

gracefully_elegant

@Tae_Candy_1996 of course I will, we will have a great discussion on that later ^o^/*
            
            I know right (t-t)
            
            Wowowo you were a super human! I'll keep your advice in mind and sleep as much as I can T^T! 
            
            Lol...whenever you get time! We're here!<3

@gracefully_elegant happy watching (: let me know how you liked it!! I'm currently on my fourth rewatch of season 1. Lol.
            
            Not having bookshelves sounds terrible T_T
            
            Idk.. I never once had anyone wake me up, and I never missed the bus either. Lol. Sleep all you can while you still CAN because these days, I'm the lightest sleeper there could be, and weekends mean chores chores and more chores. No more sleeping in on weekends T_T
            
            Thank you for looking forward! I'll work on them once this squid game frenzy of mine passes. ㅋㅋㅋ
