I think I have to go check twitter and Insta to see if Teacher or Siwon have posted any new cute pictures with children or animals. *goes off in search of consolation*

Tell him it's the last time you're helping him and if he does it again he can just ask someone else.

School didn't start smoothly where I live. There's less employees in pre-school so some schools are not open and in those who are open the teachers struggle to keep an eye on kids. My classes (I'm in college) started this week but since I'm going to study abroad my classes will start in October.

Agh you better find a job in an other museum.

I think it's important to establish boundaries with people when you begin the relationship. You should never make excuses for someone and think after they've inconvenienced you 3, 5, 7 times they'll snap out of it. You need to tell them they "did wrong and should reflect" as soon as they start flaking. Like the first time they space you should demand an apology but let it go when they do. If they go into "It's not really my fault and I'm sorry if for some reason you're upset, drama queen" then DROP THEM. If it's just an honest mistake and they own it then it's fine. But if they do it again then it shows there's a pattern there and if they're not capable of changing well, you have to live with it or cut them loose.

I think in this particular case since it's gone on a while I'd take the tack of saying something like, "This is not the first time I've had to bail you out. And I'm sorry I haven't made it clear before but this REALLY is a problem for me. So this is absolutely the last time I do a bail out, I am done after this. Now, if you'd like some help getting better about not having it all go kaplooey at the last minute as your friend I am here for you. But no more last minute saves."

hi superfox
is the job you interviewed for a better paying job (if it's in the same museum, gotta go for the cash)?

Is this Mars the Taiwanese drama or something else? I love that show! I haven't watched a lot of TW dramas but it was one of the few that left a lasting impression on me.

I also came from tropical country and when I studied abroad before, I was a bit lost like you as well. I don't really know the kind of materials or textiles for Fall and Winter because most of the time, I just felt the materials and tried on if it's comfortable when I bought a Fall or Winter coat. It's more like I just went with what they offered at stores. But I remember wearing wool jacket for Fall and I wore North Face and Superdry winter jackets. Both brands' jackets kept me warm. At home, when you wanna keep your electricity/gas cost from heater during winter, it's advisable to wear hoodie or sweater to sleep.

If you're asking about fall/winter in northern climates like the US? It's important to LAYER. Layering clothes lets you adjust based on how cold it is. Especially in the northern US where we get snow in winter, you do not wear a t-shirt and then just 1 heavy jacket over that. I frequently wear a t-shirt, dress shirt, sweater or sweatshirt, and then finally my actual winter jacket during the coldest parts of winter. Part of this is about creating layers of insulation, part is about wicking the moisture of your sweat away from, part of it is about actually needing multiple layers to block piercing freezing wind when it's well below freezing. For pants you can wear leggings or sweatpants with regular pants over (or during a commute maybe put sweatpants or ski pants over regular pants). Please keep in mind that if cotton fabric gets wet it has NO thermal blocking properties so you're basically wearing nothing.

For fall a nice light jacket over a hoodie over a soft shirt is often good. Bluejeans are enough, or a skirt + leggings is often enough depending on how sensitive you are.

I had a friend move here from Australia and she was confident her sheepskin jacket would be enough and she was completely overwhelmed by the winters.

Just don't do what I do when I first moved to a cold climate and only wore a blue jean jack, a sweater, and a mini skirt with tights and decided to walk three miles to a grocery store in below freezing weather...
Layers are your friends, undershirt, shirt, sweater and heavy jacket is my norm in the winter, and with THICK tights (they are the best) or leggings you can still wear the mini skirt ;)
But heels are awful on ice, so invest in good boots that are appropriate in multiple situations, or that are easy to swap out when you get to your destination.

Mars the one Vic Chou in?

I vote for scarves as among your new best friends! Keeping my neck warm with a nice big, usually wool fabric or knit, scarf enables me to run around in winter wearing layers and a cute sweater (and gloves) rather than a coat except on the coldest days. You can use the scarf as a hood as well. Silk or Rayon/blend scarves work almost as well and can also be worn before it gets cold.
A lot of people use silk thermal underwear.

wool is one of the best materials for colder weather to keep warm :)
also, get a good fleece sweater, have a thick one in basic color and i always layer it under my fall/spring jacket for the inbetween weather where its too warm to wear your thick winter jacket but too cold to not wear a sweater
and layers! (including good wool/nylon/fleece thights), layering helps to stop the chill pretty well
most wintershoes have a lining of wool/fleece inside to kepe your feet warm, if not, invest in good thick socks :)
hope this helps!

A lot of people answered already, but I'm just curious (since I live in Europe): To which country are you going and when?

I would say Merino- a super fine wool from a specific breed of sheep, famous because it's light and fine so that it can be worn in layers and under things, and doesn't scratch- but I don't know if it's made it to Europe yet, or if it's still just a New Zealand thing. You could search for it though I guess.
Otherwise, wool is your best friend.
Hats- 80% of your head comes off your head, so keep that warm, and woolen singlets- wool next to your skin will keep you warmer than any number of cotton or poly layers you can heap on.

Awl : temporary employees fighting for their right, emotional speeches
Dear My Friends : long-time female friends, talk about life and death, parents-children relationship
Joseon X-Files : its name explains it. X-Files set in Joseon area.
Duel : clone, what makes someone human, Yang Se Jong
Solomon's Perjury : mystery in highschool about a suicide
Last : underworld, gangster, a homeless hero

I'd recommend Triangle. It's about three brothers who got separated when they were kids. Lee Bum Soo, Jaejoong and Siwan played the three brothers.

Psychological thriller : White Christmas, The Devil

Crime: Lookout

I recommend Memory (2016). It's about a man around 50 who gets diagnosed with alzheimer's. This drama is a little bit different compared to most of the korean dramas, but definitely in a good way.

It's not science fiction. I have no leg hair too. Okay, I do have like 10 very very fine ones. Yeah, it's that negligible.

I just knew from u JYJ's song was already used as OST in SSK.
And I'm big fan of JYJ either SSK haha

This was my first Soong Joong Ki drama, and I loved his character so much (it was the highlight for me) that I've watched all his dramas since :P

i feel i am an adopted kid.. my mom..

no eyebrow, no upperlip, no arms/legs hair..
it sucks. n i have hair everywhere.. like everywhere!

on the bright side, maybe then you'll experience the perks of being able to rewatch dramas yiu forgot you already watched without being bored hehe

White Christmas is love. Kim Woo Bin's character is one of my favorite in dramaland. The green cast did a good job and the reason why I'm lenient with their not-as-good performances in other dramas is because of this drama.

I love White Christmas! I watched it recently for the first time and was impressed with the whole cast. The King Loves has the most gorgeous costumes and cinematography (and actors!).

Hail White Christmas!!!
Which character is your favorite so far?

Congrats! The starting pay is not the most important. Sounds cliche but really, there's a lot more other things.

Congrats :D I hope you will have it better than Jang Geu Rae tho.

Congratulations on the new job!

AWE!!!! YAY!!! You're so so so so welcome! I told you I was pretty good at praying! I'll pray you enjoy your job now! *Hugs*

have fun at your new job!!!! hopefully you meet nice & fun (&good looking) colleagues!!

Yay! Glad the job search didn't drag on for months, it would've been stressful. Go catch up on all your dramas and all the stuff you won't be able to do as much when you start work!

After reading your comment, I've only realized that I don't really have any upcoming drama that I dearly want to watch. I have While You Were Sleeping on my list too but it's not really my priority

You know.. when you were waiting for a drama premiere excitedly, you feel happy even when you only read the drama title somewhere in the internet.. I don't get those exciting feelings for any upcoming drama

OMG, what should I do? I think I'll have a drama slump moment for the next few months T.T

Congratulations! Nothing beats the feeling of landing your first real job after a hellish hunt. You'll come at a point where you can negotiate your salary. Good luck!

Congratulations! :) I hope you got a job that interests you?
Wish me luck with job hunting now. ^^ I'm on the last week of my notice period and only just beginning to apply to other firms.

No-kiss policy ? That's too cruel. I mean why are they teasing us when it's going to happen ? Tae Swoon must become Tae Kiss !

Wait, there's a no kiss policy? Oh, maybe because they are portraying teenagers? I want a Tae Kiss too! Maybe they can do a time skip at the end, show us them in college or at a high school reunion, and we can have our Tae Kiss to Tae Swoon over ~

I am the type who don't hanker for kisses in a drama. Possibly because there are more misses than hits.

There has indeed been the usual clamoring for a kiss in Swoon 2017 but I am a bit apprehensive seeing how Teacher Shim's kiss went. If it's like that, I rather have no kiss than a "chaste" kiss.

More than all these, Kim Jung Hyun has been knocking it out of the park in his role as Tae Swoon that I got more out of this OTP than any others, with or without a kiss.

I've also heard that teen dramas have a no kiss policy so I'm not expecting one though I'm happy if I'm wrong.

That and Strongest Deliveryman which has turned out to be SO GOOD even though it's not really about much more than the lives of these very interesting character.

That's what a 'slice of life drama' is about. There is a plot there though, at least it seems to be building, i.e. big money v little guy, and mom & pop stores struggling to survive in an age of big chains. I believe that they'll be building on this and more as they go on.

I heard the Korean audience is getting all worked up about the likely Rin/San pairing, but it seems like it's been building up to that from the beginning. I think they should have promoted it more that way, but I'm sad that people may leave the show because of it.

The actors did say there was a twist coming up, but I hope it's consistent with the characters and story so far!

That is why I am very reluctant to pick it up again. I am stuck at episode 8. I don't want to be heartbroken but I also do not want to miss another great show. ?

@outofthisworld as an outsider's opinion (who is not watching) I think at the end she won't end up with either one of these two. That is the twist lol! Or maybe there's more card yet to reveal, such as birth secret! hah.

Good Doctor aka my first exposure to Joo Won and medical dramas. I started to watch Gaksital at the same time and wondered why the lead and some characters looked so familiar haha.

Good doctor is really good!! i think its really heartwarming and really gives deeper insight to the lives of people with special needs. i think it really showed me how my actions could hurt them a lot, and how to better relate to them (like the girl with kidney problems who i forgot the name) haha, i guess this means it's time to rewatch GD!! (minus all the operation scenes i dont think i can live through that one more time)

I enjoyed watching Good Doctor. Joowon was fantastic in it. Probably my favourite role of his that I have seen so far.

I saw that they are remaking it USA and it is going to be broadcast in Canada as well at the end of September. I am very curious to see how they adapt it to the North American audience.
Plus Freddie Highmore is going to be the lead!! I am really excited to see his interpretation! I love him as Norman Bates and I think he is a perfect fit for the role (although it will always belong to Joowon).

May I know whr do live? I live everyday getting heat stroke alot too

I think I'm up to episode 3 or 4 of Falsify and haven't picked it back up yet. This is one drama where you really have to pay attention and life has not allowed me to sit still and focus.

Stay cool in this heat wave! I'm affected by it, too. And where I live, it's NEVER this hot! Enjoy your Labor Day!

Could try http://fastdrama.co/? That's what I resort to when nothing else works. It usually has subs up really early too.

not really sure but rapid pirating and dedicated subbers (thank you all) i guess?? the speed sometimes depends on the show though.

Thanks for the answers, but I guess the staff should know what the circuit is like. And if the series the same Koreans subtitled or will have some company?

And Poldark for me!!!

TWD is on the way

Outlander! When timeslip is done well.

If you like Kenneth Branagh. The Wallander series is a good one with pre-Loki Tom Hiddleston as a bonus.

I'm still behind on the last 2 episdoes of GoT! I've been running from all the spoilers. OooOo I've seen stills for Victoria. I'll add it to my list. <3
Outlander is amazing. I also saw a Poldark shout out too. That 1st season ahhh so good.
hahah yeah you're right we're going to need lots of luck.

I just finished marathoning through "Victoria" season 1, and it was so good! I look forward to season 2, and hopefully it will be good and I hope that the story will wrap up (just because I am afraid that if they make many seasons, the story will start to drag and lose that spark that makes it good).

I don't watch GOT because I'm not a fan of gratuitous violence and nudity. I just find the whole premise kind of ridiculous with dragons and all.

As for Outlander, I don't know I'm kind of hesitating with this show. I know it is R-rated, but if it is gory then I can't watch it.

I do want to checkout Poldark, and I've already watched a few eps of it. However I read some reviews for season 2 which are making me hesitate, because he will cheat.
