Things that I missed but now evident with the show and some questions that always pop up in my mind and I wish to know more!

I am watching “My ID is Gangnam Beauty” for the fifth time I think and now as a second screen watch.

Here are a few things that I am curious about:

A few things I’m still curious about:

1. Why is Hyeon Soo-a so bent on breaking every other relationship? I understand her insecurities around Kang Mi-rae, but why did she interfere with Kim Tae-hee and Tae-young too?

And every time I watch the show, I still feel so angry at her character lol. Which also means the actress performed really well. 🤣

2. They’re all in the Chemistry Department, so why were they suddenly given a movie-watching assignment? 🤨

3. I wish the show had given Hyeon Soo-a a stronger character arc. Apart from cutting her hair, what actually changed? How did she deal with her eating disorder? We also see her mistreating her grandmother, but why? She is shown as almost entirely awful, and then we suddenly get a backstory that explains so little

Another thing I really detest in shows like this is how they try to make a point about women being pitted against each other over looks, and how looks are not everything — but the main characters still look gorgeous. Or, if the story starts with the main character looking a certain way, like in She Was Pretty or True Beauty, they eventually look completely different in later episodes.

It feels like such a hypocritical way to drive the point home.

I got to know about Sarbajeet and Pooja through TRP - podcast run by Beer Bicepts. I was curious about who this guy is and then the moment I got to know about them I have been following their journey ever since.

They have given Indian paranormal a breath of fresh air with their approach, methods, belief and resilience. Resilience because the world of spirits, entities, energies is difficult to navigate to prove plus there are sceptics who keep questioning everything they do and try nothing they offer.

They have also opened the doors for us as audience to participate and experience the paranormal. Yes, before the fees were nominal but now the fees have been quite high so they have introduced mini tours.

However I hardly see any discussions, topics around these creators on Reddit and I was surprised. They recently touched the 300k mark on YT. They post their investigations and dissect it also in the forthcoming episodes.

I myself have been pondering to take part in GET by them! Also, love it when hardworking people make it happen. I just feel happy they are getting the fruits of their time and work after 10+ years of being in the domain.

They also investigated some places outside Indian - again really cool stuff! No jump scare no adha adhura gyan! They way they do things itself is very interesting but calm and respectful.

I am not one of those who call them bhaiya and didi - just admire their work!

Have you ever watched any episode or video? Are you a believer or not?

My last post in this community was about how my husband had started introducing me to board games.

That journey has been continuing ever since, and I’ve gotten to try quite a few games now. Some I understood quickly, some completely confused me, and some honestly made me question my own intelligence for a moment 😅

One of those games was Scythe.

I lost miserably. Like spectacularly badly. And strangely enough, it genuinely sank my mood. It made me feel like maybe I had become “slower” than I used to be. Too much doomscrolling, too little mental stimulation, not enough focus anymore… all those thoughts started creeping in. For a brief moment, I even thought maybe complex board games just weren’t for me.

But the same day, we played Bomb Busters afterwards, which is a much lighter cooperative game, and it completely changed my mood. It reminded me that games are also supposed to be fun, shared experiences, not just intellectual competitions.

Then life happened for a bit. Family situations, responsibilities, and I naturally took a small break from gaming.

Recently though, we finally played Great Western Trail.

While watching the tutorial, I’ll be honest, I understood maybe 40% of it 😭 But thanks to the group we play with, especially my husband and our friends, they explained things so patiently and clearly that the game slowly started opening up for me. And somewhere during the session, I realized I was genuinely enjoying myself.

I’m still nowhere near the “I play to win” stage yet. Right now, understanding the mechanics, making decent decisions, and feeling confident enough to participate properly already feels rewarding.

And honestly, that feels like progress.

Now it’s slowly becoming a weekend ritual, gaming sessions with my partner and our friend group. And our friend owns an absurd number of board games, so every week feels like being introduced to an entirely new world.

Maybe someday I’ll become competitive enough to really chase wins.

But for now, I’m just happy that I didn’t give up after Scythe.

Edit: I am not trying to win right now. Most comments saying “oh i play to enjoy”. As a beginner I am of course not trying to win but trying to understand the game fully. Scythe was something I didn’t understand and hence I realised too late how I had to play for my faction. I didn’t win the Great Western Trail but I was quick to know what mistakes I was making and didn’t do the same for the next turns but by then I had accumulated -9 and still made 61 points which made me happy. So yes, please don’t misread it as I am playing to win. I am a beginner!

So the oranges of both icons are so similar that this ends up happening at least 3-4 times a day! 😛

So this happened while watching Matka King. I love to watch Vijay Verma but I had started resenting him following the news of his breakup with Tammanah.

Several articles and blinds indicated that he was unwilling to settle down and tie the knots which led the couple to split - could be true and could be not.

But that’s their lives! Who am I or anyone who doesn’t know them personally and not affected by these decisions anyhow to judge them and dissociate from their craft because of this.

I am damn sure there would be many who unfollow artistes because of who they marry or split from!

We idolise them too much! They are humans and make bad decisions as much as we do. They feel and suffer as much as we do. But we can’t treat them like “adarsh purush” or “aadarsh naari” all the time.

This is also one of the reasons that entertainment and artistes are hyped over people wwho are involved in the process. Writers, storytellers, so many directors, cinematographers do not enjoy the same attention, privilege and financial status even.

So let artistes be artistes and let their personal lives be not the yardstick of measuring their performance.
