Beanie level: Chaebol’s poor doppelganger

So I like stories.. Beanies, what are the stories behind ur usernames?!

Mine’s rainbow unicorn cuz they are pretty magical awesome.. & unreal.. just like the kdrama life! The irishrah is the output of a 10 year old’s imagination on reading watership down and about the Irish potato famine (don;t ask how they are related… I dont know anymore!)

    I have used this username on different forums since 2004. Before that, I went by the nickname “hundu”, which means something like a “harmless little wolf”, but I realized that it doesn´t fit my personality. For a strong-minded, outspoken and constantly nosy person who can´t stand routine a fox is more fitting, and I have red hair, so.

      Ooh! I love red hair! red hair.. red fox and a outspoken woman! That’s awesome & fitting 🙂
      Red foxes remind me of red pandas.. have u seen them? they are really foxy cute looking pandas.. way more than the regular b/w ones we see.

    Mine was inspired by Ok Da-jung, the female lead in drama “Ms Temper & Nam Jung-ki” because she was so awesome. I used to have only “Sera” but there are some viewers who also have the same username. I changed few times, i think first I had Sera In The Trap or something like that because of CITT.lol. Now I think I won’t change it anymore lol.

      Ooh that show has been on my to-watch list for a while now.. Ms Temper has a edge to it which Sera in the trap just doesnt capture! Ha! I like it.. I always imagine u with fiery flying red hair, disposing of comments & opinions on kdrama! *I have random imagination!

    my first name and my favorite year. So many things happened in the world during the turn of the century. Y2K. My senior high school graduation, and also the best time of my high school Life. Once my idol, Tiger woods, winning US Open in epic fashion at Pebble Beach. 2000 Olympics. Started my college year that fall. Went to Disney World for the first time that Christmas.

      Whoaa! Looks like u really had a Y2K-mania worthy year! I remember the crazy celebrations and random world-ending scares ushering the Y2K.. sure was super memorable!

        It was both high anticipation and hugh celebration too all over the world. The y2k ended up being a flop.

        I forgot to add. It’s my first name spelled backwards.

          Ooh Edward!! Nice! I thought drawde was an exotic Irish name or something similar to Dierde! Haha! We are trying to unscramble another beanie’s username (see comments below).. I’m no good at it.. maybe you wanna try?!

          I knew its Edward! I have twin friends who’s names were spelled backwards of each other (Shirley and Yelrihs) so I’m kinda on the look-out for those things 😂 Drawde sounds so cool and unique btw. So, you’re male?

    “Kudo Ran” it’s from my beloved manga : Detective Conan (aka Case Closed), it’s just my OTP = my username : male lead KUDO Shinichi & female lead MOURI Ran , basically my username screams what I wish for them : marriage and that Ran takes Shinichi’s family name, so here we go : KUDO Ran 🙂 . Sad story is that my drama addiction took me away from it, but I know that one day I’ll catch up with it (though it’s been published for more than 20 years, there are more than 90 volumes, and that the end is not going to happen soon, but do I want it to end ? No hahaha)

      Hahaha! What a true fan girl – hats off to you!! Det Conan has been on my radar to watch for soo long but the number of episodes to catch up on always intimidated me..!

    My name is pretty self- explanatory I guess! 😛

    It was sarcasm directed at myself- you see I was judging myself for being so in love with kdramas that I was even registering myself on a kdrama site just so I could discuss dramas! Actually, not even discuss- just add my comments! The year was 2015 and the drama that made me delurk and wish to participate on DB was I Remember You, and I have never looked back..

    Now the username is not just restricted to kdramas- it is my obsession with DB, kdramas, k-variety and increasingly, kpop too!

    6
    1

      Haha! i absolutely love ur username! Gotta love a self-aware beanie 😉

      My username started as something of self-satire at the whimsical-ness/ridiculousness of not just an unicorn but one which literally shits/barfs rainbows.. but it just sneakily grew on me and then i decided to own it! Lol

      IRY is actually not that long ago.. pretty cool! My discovery & lurking around on DB was sometime in 2016.. gosh it’s already been an year+ !

      1

        Lol yes! One has to at least know how bad their condition is! If you know Hindi- “apni haisiyat pata honi chahiye” 😛

        Ha! I always think of the origins of Powerpuff Girls when i see your icon for some reason- sugar, spice and everything nice! Also a HP fan can’t not think of Harry Potter when unicorns are mentioned! 😀

        Yup, I am not a very old beanie… But I guess because I am so active, I would be considered a long time beanie..

          Haha! That quote is appropriate but a tad-bit mean! I would prefer something along the lines of falling-down-a-rabbit-hole-with-eyes-wide-open! That way you can imagine urself having a grand adventure like Alice 😉

          Oooh yess! Powerpuff girls was the earliest lesson in feminism for me (can be a awesomely self-sufficient feminist & still be girly & nice)! The dp reminds me of them & DeeDee too! I think it’s their big pretty unicorn eyes.. or maybe their multicoloured rainbow clothes? or bubble/DeeDee’s obsession with unicorns?!

          2
          1

            Yeah it sure is mean! I was thinking of another but couldn’t recall it right- something about “kitne paani mein ho” but well yes… what you said is quite bang on! 🙂

            Bubble was so adorable! I sometimes found DeeDee quite irritating tbh but she was quite an energetic person. Speaking of, for like my whole childhood I believed that her name was Didi cuz she IS the didi and how even Americans call sisters Didi! 😛

            1
            0

          Omg! I was the SAME !! Duh she was Didi.. I’m still convinced that the Americans just mispelt the word cuz ask the NRI ABCDs mispronounced Didi with their accents! Lol

      🙂 rainbows & unicorns have that effect.. and is pretty much the reason for me to watch kdrama.. I’m a happily-ever-after monster!

      Oh thats a lovely name.. would this be in Malay? Your name along with the pretty & innocent dp.. always reminded me of a character out of the Winnie-the-pooh world.

      Ooooh! I am gonna have to try this anagram (i always sucked at them but since ur name just has 5 letters.. il try!): hafit? hifah? ahift? fatiha?
      Ok obviously I suck even with just 5 letters… Fatiha sounds closest if it were fatima.. hmm

      I have great fondness for such names.. simply because that’s what we all did with our first email id’s before gmail came to rescue! but I never figured the zgs to be initials.. wondered if it was an acronym for zeitgeist !

Not saying my heart won’t change, but for now it’s her. 😊 (My username was orginally deedeenoona – because Dexter’s Deedee is also one of my favorite characters of all time! Read your story about how Deedee inspired your username, love you already for that! 😊😊😊)

    Mine is my dog’s name and an obsession with Ally McBeal. I loved that show. She was tiny like I was (key word: WAS) but so spunky and tenacious AND a respected professional AND the guys swooned over her. She was my alter ego. My husband likes to think it was his idea to name my dog that, little does he know!

      Haha! I’m sure your still tiny compared to everyone else.. just maybe not compared to your skinny old self!
      I have heard so much heart stuff about AllyMcbeal.. never for around to watching it though. You sure are your alterego! Successful Medico.. golfer.. wife.. mom.. blogger.. baker (or was that one of ur fellow kdrama watchers?) ! 🙂

      When it was airing.. I was still pretty young and watching American shows back then was considered a very grown up thing and possibly corruptible! We were only allowed to watch anime and small wonder ! ?

          Ooh wow.. not only do you have fellow kdrama watchers.. they are active on DB too plus can bake plus a hubby who can cook!! Gosh. I’m totally green with envy now!
          The one thing I wanted in my partner was the ability to cool since i can’t cook either.. but does life ever go the way you want it to?! He is worse at cooking than me..i didn’t think that could be possible!

            Ah–you were talking about my blogging friends being the baker! It’s actually my friend Amy, and she’s not active on this site. @michykdrama is a doctor as well, but we don’t live anywhere near each other and I just talk to her here on DB, although, if she lived near me, I’m sure we would be besties!

    Oh, I like this thread — I’ll add my story to this. The first part is pretty self-explanatory (I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, there’s a reason :snark” is in my username). But I’ll add this — I never want to be mean with my snark, but I’m always going to poke fun a things I find silly even when I enjoy them.

    As for the Jellyfish – I’ve always said that when I start a band, our first album will be called “Why Do Jellyfish Rule the World” after an article I read in a decade ago. Also, because jellyfish are awesome and I’m obsessed with deep sea creatures, especially jellyfish and cephalopods. I’ve also seen pretty much any Giant Squid documentary or special I can get my hands on, but snarkysquid didn’t have the same ring to it.

      Haha! SnarkySquid sure doesn’t sound the same!

        For sure. I love all the insane jellyfish pics in National Geographic, probably where I got obsessed with that stuff when I was a kid.

    My handle is from this water fairy who is one of Tinkerbell’s friends. I loved Peter Pan as kid but always thought Tinker was a bit of a brat. Water fairy Silvermists was pretty chill though and had long black hair like me and loved water (I had a bit of a mermaid phase when all things water was super cool). And I also thought the name Silvermists was the coolest thing eva! So yeh. That’s the embarrassing story behind my name. I’m still fond of that time so I decided to keep using it.

    The avatar is Hipster Little Mermaid though. I swear I’m not such a fan of Disney cartoons but again see above mention of mermaid phase. I guess I never grew out of it? I have dark redish/black hair now and wear the exact same glasses as the picture so I guess that’s me.

      Dreamy stuff is always awesome! And who didn’t go through a mermaid phase?! I even have one of those mermaid blankets in homage to that phase! 😀

      Always wondered.. did you draw your avatar yourself?!

        No I didn’t actually. Although I do draw but its usually large murals on walls and not much on paper for some reason. And mostly a lot of animal stuff and very little people. I’m terrible at drawing faces.

    Dayum girl I missed this.
    Okay hold up. *cracks neck*

    Sicae is Latin for dagger, Sicarius meaning literally ‘dagger-man’, although usually translated to ‘hitman’ or ‘assassin’ (so if you see me saying I’m an assassin that will be why)
    Why Sicarius though?
    Once upon a time I wrote a poem, then a short story, then a screen play, and one day hopefully it will be a novel, about an assassin and I had to give it a title. Thus, Sicarius it was.
    Then I became an admin on a facebook page and I had to pick a tag name. Thus, Sicarius it was…
    Now it’s like one of my main online monikers, and also a nickname. 😛
    Sometimes gets shortened to Sic which also means “thus” in Latin haha.

    It is also:
    A genus of six eyed sand spiders native to southern Africa
    A Spacemarine Captain in the Warhammer RTS game Dawn of War
    A character in the Emperor’s Edge series by Lindsey Buroker
    Sicarii were “a self-defense splinter group of Hebrew zealots who opposed the Roman occupation of Judea in the decades preceding the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE.”
    AND Apparently! The name of several saints! (Which is hilarious)

    But those are all just bonuses 😛

      My story is pretty simple: 10 years ago or so, I wanted to create a Livejournal after moving on from Blogger. Purple is my favourite colour, I wanted something quirky to add to it, and teapot sprang to mind (and I happen like tea). I’ve stuck with this handle since!

Simran to the cute guy: “Are you tired?

I must have a latent sadistic streak! It was wrong on so many levels but I thoroughly enjoyed watching JY torment Jin-Kyu ! We really need a spin off on their happily..err.. tormented ever after!

In light of discovering the existence of boy beanies (guy beanies? male beanies? manly beanies? What do u prefer?) I thought I would restrict my squealing over kdrama cuties today to provide a slightly less oestrogen filled fan wall… then figured who am I kidding?! The squealing is a major part of what makes the kdrama fandom so enjoyable!

And for all I know boy beanies squeal at their fav parts too.. although I\’m sure in a sexy manly way! 😉

Woke up to an explosion on my fan wall thanks to TLAHL & guy beanie questions.. have to say it\’s a new experience!

How do the sunbae ubercool beanies.. many busy being rooftop dwellers or errand boys now.. keep up so many notifications on a regular basis?! My admiration for you all had grown even more!

    I don’t know how @yuelie et al do it!! Hahahaha. For me it was a slow accumulation so I’ve never really been inundated with notifications.

    Get ready for the class!😎

    Prepare a battle cry and scream it out loud- something like aja aja fighting!

    Open the notification page in a new window

    Open ALL the notifications in separate tabs so that you ring miss anything scrolling up and down

    And then reply/upvote as needed

    (JK… I don’t have a battle cry but the idea sounds nice..
    I have once or twice woken up to 30 notifications but that is rare- usually after @kaybee or @sicarius come back on DB after a long time…
    I usually just have 5 +/- 2 everyday…. @yuelie and @chingu and @azzo1 might have better plans)

      What’s the highest I ever got from you guys… was it 40 something? I can’t remember.
      I get between 5-10 every day, but at LEAST 10-20 throughout the day if I’m talking lots. More so if TLAHL is involved.

      As for plans- that’s pretty much what I do as well!

        Psst.. . Since we are on topic.. why do you think this post got so many likes? Is it the admiration for the sunbae beanies that all other beanies have.. or cuz it hastened to mention TLAHL?!! I love this endless spiral!! 😂😁😆

        3

          Sunbae beanies don’t get that much admiration! (I speak from experience heee)… it’s all TLAHL!

          I call us Liar beanies- yes I am one of them.. @chingu coined the term Liar Ninjas which is more apt.. she kept being surprised as to why she was getting so much love for her Moorim School posts… turns out it was all TLAHL magic

          (also sorry for the mannnny notifications you will be getting from me)

            Hahaha! Liar ninjas couldn’t be more apt! I did wonder about the moorim school posts myself.. I was like when in the world & why did that show get so popular?! Lol

            And don’t be sorry at all.. this is my new high since I’m indisposed and in bed today anyway!

        40?? Are we that crazy? I mean yeah if Kaylee and I got talking on your post- that might have led to 10-12 comments from both… and then add replies from other posts and maybe 1-2 from other beanies (yeah just 1-2 because that is usually the norm) it could all add up to 40+

    There are boys amongst us! Some of them have even said hello.

    It’s always great to hear from the guys ….. but I think we don’t hear from them too often unfortunately.

    Guys! Where are you? *looking around*

    Definitely some boys.. They come out sometimes.. There were some on TLAHL recaps too- ajhussi and Pianoman come to mind..

    I hope you like TLAHL when you watch it! The TLAHL craze is not just because of the show though.. For us, it was the show plus recap threads..

      Oh yes I remember the recap thereads esp the last one witch was sustained for close to 2 weeks with insane enthusiasm and ended with over 2500+ posts and all the comparisons and statistics with previous dramas.. it was brilliant! (Yes I admit I’m a lurker.. don’t judge me ok!)

        Hahahha… it was brilliant indeed! Everyone went a lil crazy! (Being a lurker on recap threads is like a rite of passage for every beanie! I can say it with 99.9% surety- every beanie has done it!)

        lol. Being around so many ladies hasn’t been an issue really. I think its because we pretty much have a lot in common with dramas and such. 😉

          Ooh! Hi @hades !! This is a good surprise.. but now that i think of it.. your posts have always been drama related and frustrations with the lame storylines than oppa mania! So glad you aren’t put off by the estrogen on the fan wall!

          Oh btw I love ur display pic but it doesn’t show up in comments.. only on ur page. I think re-uploading it might fix that if u want to.. though three no pic combined with the name hades does have a poetic feel to it! Lol

            Thx for the tip on the display pic. For some reason I thought it didn’t show up for users on their own posts kinda thing. Do you know Yuri btw?

          Excuse a moment of pettiness & girlishness here but Gosh I’m so jealous u get to call them Hyung! Oppa is just so annoying sounding.. this random rants are probably due to my days as a crazy fan of all cross-dressing manga/drama/anime! 😀

          Yes! I know Yuri – loved the anime.. saw bits of it when I was going through a figure skating craze post winter Olympics… plus who doesnt love a story about hard work conquers all and a well done yaoi?! but never got around to finishing it… I should probably go back and watch the whole thing.. considering it’s ur display pic – must be good?!

    I probably shouldn’t admit that I like wrist grabs in dramas, probably because I know it means “Twoo Wuv”. But I would NEVER tolerate that in real life. Come to think of it, there are lots of things I’ll accept in dramas that I wouldn’t let go IRL.

      Tell me about it! I would die of embarrassment/ get mad if many of the cheesy lines/ actions I go gooey over in kdrama ever happened to me in real life! We are a strange breed who live vicariously without actually wanting those things.. I’m sure psychologists would enjoy dissecting us!

      Minhyuk is super cute in this drama!! And the romance at least so far has been very low key and in a slow burn.. so the tension us sorta enjoyable without becoming cringe y yet!

          Haha! Yeah it does have it’s weak points.. plus I treat the medical aspect of it as fantasy so I’m not as bothered by the inaccuracies.. but the rest of the plot is still much stronger than a lot of other popular dramas I feel. There is slow but good character growth and the struggles are real and painful.. I like it.. but that’s not the general opinion.. but I’ll also admit its not a riveting be glued to the screen kind either

I’m enjoying Hospital Ship.. It’s a light drama (as fluffy as medical dramas can be) with beautiful sunsets, interesting character arcs/ dilemma’s.. and of course the gorgeous Ha ji-won and Kang Min Hyuk (Maaan… he is soo cute!!)

          Actually – just saw last night’s episode, and I totally take it back. the show is beautiful.. the internal struggles and they way the story plays out is just so touching.. in fact the slow moments in the show in between the emergencies are (for lack of better vocabulary) simply beautiful.. watch it!

          Plus I’m terrible at the screenshot thingy.. and this show is so much more about the story and it’s buildup to a moment… hardly any witty one-dialogue that a quick screenshot can capture…

Shin Hye-sun is doing such a fantastic job in MyGoldenLife! I just wish the rest of the characters & plots can catch up soon!
Also need to have a mini-rant.. how in world can the chaebols take mum\’s word at face value about which twin is theirs?!
Considering how suspicious the chaebol was about all clues leading upto her daughter.. wouldn\’t she be suspicious about which twin too? The mum can obviously lie to let her real daughter live a luxurious life.. I mean they did commit a major crime in not even reporting an abandoned child. Just feels like it\’s not consistent with the chaebol mum\’s character not to be more suspicious & get another DNA test done to confirm which is her actual daughter! After all her first thought after meeting Ji-an was how she has so much to learn about manners/dressing rather than how happy she was to see her…

2
2

    Yes she is doing a great job and she is the main reason why I decided to continue watching My Golden Life.😀😀
    Agree about why they did not do another DNA test just to be sure that it is their daughter.
    They cannot just believe the mom without making sure she is telling the truth.
    Yes, hopefully the other stories get better or else I am going to fast forward a lot of scenes. Mainly the sister’s since I am pretty much not finding myself caring for her story.

    1
    1

      IKR!! The other twin is such annoying feather headed twat.. and we all knew that she is gonna end up being the real mixed daughter (cuz of the story premise/ the obvious love line between ji-an and the park shi-hoo)… which makes it worse.. or maybe better? Since the chaebols will be smacked in their head before ji soo ever learns proper manners or dressing!

ManWhoSetsTheTable has really creepy villains – The evil mother who let her son & DIL die.. then the super abusive father (they tried to make him redeemable by showing how he have up music for his love but…)
I get that they are showing the really rampant male chauvenism & entitlement still rampant in society.. and I do want to see them (both father & son) learn their lesson in the way they treat their wives/mother..
but the show is so overly simplistic in it\’s black & white characters.. dont think I\’m gonna stick around to watch this.

I hope these screenshots arent too spoilery & can convey they expression bonaza in these scenes w/o giving the story away!
