Applied over tonnes of jobs since 18 as I was on a gap year.
I'm almost 19 now, and still no green light.
I wonder if it's going to get bad and even worse in the future.
I've spent almost 200 days out of my 300 days consisted of the gap year before starting uni. So doomed.
I genuinely think kdramas can influence people more than we realize 😭
I recently finished Strong Girl Nam-soon and I got SO attached to Ryu Shi-O’s character that I didn’t even want to watch Byeon Woo-seok in another drama afterwards. Like my brain just said “nope, this man IS Ryu Shi-O now.” 💀
But what’s crazy is how that attachment slowly starts affecting real-life choices too. For example, I saw that Byeon Woo-seok uses a Casetify case for his white iPhone 17 Pro Max model, and suddenly I was there thinking:
“Wait… should I get the same one?”
Then I opened the website and saw the case was like £57 😭
And that’s when reality hit me because £57 for ONE phone case is insane when I could literally get dozens of cheaper ones elsewhere. But celebrities either:
1.get these things sponsored for free, or
2.are rich enough that spending £57 on a phone case means nothing financially.
Meanwhile regular people see the aesthetic and emotional connection behind it and suddenly expensive things start feeling “normal.”
It made me realize that sometimes we don’t actually want the object itself — we want the feeling attached to it. The vibe. The emotional connection. The character. The fantasy.
Kdramas really have us out here emotionally attached to fictional mafia villains and reconsidering our phone case budgets 😭
Does anyone else feel the same way or not?
I'm literally regretting why I came across the kdrama Strong Girl Namsoon after 3 years bc it is so GOOD.
Gawwd the villain and the main concept abt the substance in the drama is just mind blowing like sir?!
😭❤️🩹
On episode 4 right now.
