Life As A “Comfort Woman”: Story of Kim Bok-Dong | ASIAN BOSS

History is past, however, pain is never forgotten if the perpetrator pretends to be deaf. This courageous woman will leave this world in 2019. Please do not silence her or discredit her. Her story is not written in history. She doesn’t want money, she wants sincerity, just like the thousands of “comfort women” in China.

Which is more pitiful? Not being able to feel emotion, or not even being able to honestly tell how you feel? I think the latter, so I'd prefer not to feel anything at all.

Best dialogues from My ID is Gangnam Beauty final ep

KS: “Why is my name saved as ‘DKS from Science class’? //peeking at phone// MR: “What did you save me as then?” KS: “Hmph...KMR from Science class” //turns head away//

Taehee: “I don’t blame you, sometimes you have to follow your heart (choosing Soo Ah and dumping me)” Boyfriend: “That’s true, these days my heart can’t stop thinking of you...” Taehee: “Oh that’s a shame, because I don’t think about you at all. You know some people get less attractive the more you get to know them? Yeah sorry I hope you don’t feel hurt by my words.”

KS dad: “Do you want to get together as a family on KS’s birthday?” KS mum: “Is that all you wanted to say?” //unimpressed// KS dad: “No...I just wanted to tell you...I’ve only loved 2 women in my life. One was you at 26 years old, the other is you at 46 years old.” KS mum: “............I’m 47 though”

Victims are not interested in winning the war, they only fight back in order to stop being victimized.

My ID is Gangnam Beauty.

[favekdramas]

I’m living for all the tropes and cliches in this drama.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” *he looks at her* “Yes, it is.”

the accidental, then purposeful hand-holding

a freaking power-outage

intense eye-contact

ALL THE TIE SCENES (obvs gonna be the first kiss)

the first-aid for his lip scene

basically the entire drama is a cliche and I’M HERE FOR IT

Honorary mention for trope subversion:

Parents like the female lead!

Once upon a time we were like Romeo and Juliet; we loved each other madly and we got married despite our families being against our union. At some point while living together we started thinking about separating, but when I had just about made up my mind to file for divorce, I suddenly remembered the days when we dated. With those memories in my heart, I decided to just put up with him for the rest of my life. It's probably true that every person lives quite similarly to the next; it is difficult to have an exciting and great life. However, we must all treasure our 'star pocket'. When an opportunity to store good things in the star pocket arise, we must not let it slip by our fingers. That way, when things get tough, we can pull out those stars we stored in the pocket and push through any hardships.

Did you know the part of the human brain in charge of managing this concept called 'time' and 'age' is the neocortex? Unlike humans, cats don't have a neocortex, and that is why they won't get bored or depressed even if they repeat the same routines at the same place and eat the same foods every single day. Cats have neither a future, nor a past. They live in the present. The only species in the world who lock themselves up in time is humankind. It's what we got in exchange for evolution.

“It was strange...the nonsense he spoke somehow comforted me more than anything else could.” --Ji Ho, Because This is my First Life.

This drama’s aesthetics *drools*

[kdrama-life-lessons]

Maybe because we like someone too much, we hate them for being so like-able. Maybe because the person we like doesn't like us back, we hate them for not returning our feelings. Maybe because someone possesses more than us, we hate them for making us jealous. Maybe because we feel guilty towards someone for hating them, we hate them even more for making us hate ourselves.

Approximately based on Yoon Jin Myung’s voiceover in ep 10, Age of Youth 2. “Maybe that (hate) letter simply came earlier than I expected”...

Afterall, who can live without ever being loved and hated by another?

[kdrama-life-lessons]

People with empathy often blame themselves when they see others suffer and become abusive. People who are selfish, on the other hand, never look inwards to see the problem.

We only see what we wish to see, hear what we wish to hear, and remember what we wish to remember.
