I know I'm not the first person to ask this but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for so far because I'm soooooooooo picky lol

I also know that there is a major lack of Enemies to Lovers in kdramas but I'm still gonna ask because there might be some avid kdrama fans who are aware of dramas I've never heard of

(please this is a plea to all the og kdrama fans who have seen the niche stuff that doesn't get recommended often)

So yeah I'm looking for an enemies to lovers drama with good chemistry and good writing!

• enemies/rivals to lovers
• the animosity feels real and not performative
• there's chemistryyyyy
• They actually end up together
• romance doesn't have to be the main genre, they don't even have to be the main couple if the plot is good enough. I prefer a good non-romance with a small romance plot over a badly written romcom
• it could be adjacent to the concept of enemies to lovers, for example, it could be just one sided annoyance/hatred
• I need the plot to be actually good please haha
• I don't mind if it's really old and unpopular as long as it's good (I'd actually PREFER an unpopular one)
• I don't like hospital/doctor stuff but if you're still welcome to recommend one if you strongly believe it's good
• I don't like exes/second chance plotlines

shows I thought had a GOOD enemies to lovers arc

• It's Okay To Not Be Okay: I like how he absolutely could not stand her in the beginning. It's also just a really good show overall
• Mad for Each Other: they both really hated each other for a good amount of episodes. The drama is also really good and hilarious and genuinely made me laugh a lot
• Bon Appetit, Your Majesty: I really liked how they started, the chemistry in that first episode was the best
• Extraordinary Attorney Woo: there was a realllllyyyy good enemies/rivals to lovers with the two side characters here aka Kwon Min U and Choi Soo Yeon, I like how he had a really interesting redemption arc too. I know some viewers hated his character but I thought he was interesting and complex
• Head over Heels: it was for sure one sided here but I really liked how in the beginning the ML could not stand the fl at all lol, and it's a really entertaining drama too
• Call It Love: this one's a bit too melodramatic for me but I do think they executed a good E2L plot
• The Judge from Hell: just badass, really
• Filing for Love: Also one sided but both the characters were super lovable. and I hated the 2ML

dramas with "enemies to lovers" that I did NOT like:

• Sold Out on You: I found it boring and I don't like shows where a confident woman gets "humbled"
• Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha: I disliked this even more and I found both main characters obnoxious
• Her Private Life: my least favorite drama of all time. I disliked it so much that I believe I should keep those thoughts to myself..
• Touch your heart: it feels wrong to put this here because I didn't actually hate this, and I love both of the actors, but let's face it, it wasn't that good :/

dramas I've seen recommended around this subreddit that I'm not really interested in:

• Love Your Enemy: I'm actually SUPER interested in younger plotline and those actors but I heard they have a very small amount of screentime and I don't really care about the older plotline
• I love to hate you: All the clips I've seen of it seem so far from my vibe, I don't think it's bad or anything just not my type of show. it looks kinda similar to her private life and that's very off-putting to me
• Crazy Love: I swear I have nothing against Kim Jae-wook lmao I actually loved him in coffee prince but I really don't like the type of roles he's been playing lately
• Genie, make a wish: I saw some really weird stuff about this one... I really like the actors but the plot doesn't sit right with me

I might watch My Dearest Nemesis but I don't know much about the quality there, if you think it's good please tell me why, and if not, also tell me why 😂

Also My Royal Nemesis was not really enemies 2 lovers for me, but I still enjoyed it especially the male lead :)

my full watch history is right here https://mydramalist.com/dramalist/haloum please check it so you don't recommend something I've already seen, also if you want a clearer idea of my taste, it might help

thank you so much, I know I can be too specific and picky lol <3

So I'm writing a story set in a fantasy world that's vastly different from ours and there's a male character who's loosely based on a Korean background and I want to name him Narae which I think is a really beautiful word. I'm aware it's a girl's name and I'm wondering if it would be too ridiculous to do that?

tv time migrant here and I was wondering, if I select a certain poster for a show and then someone views my profile (who also has chosen a poster for that show) will they see mine or theirs?

my favorite dramione fics ever are Measure Of A Man, Manacled, Green Light, and Détraquée (omg emphasis on this one)

I also LOVEDDDDD the writing on Lionheart but I think I'd rather Hermione as the main pov

I was wondering if anyone knows some others that have a similar mature/eloquent writing style?

(I'd prefer ao3 but any site that allows downloading is okay)

ps:

I've already read disappearances of draco malfoy, the auction, draco malfoy and the mortifying ordeal of being in love, the right thing to do. I enjoyed all of them but they're not similar to what I'm looking for rn. I also tried reading Remain Nameless and Secrets and Masks and both weren't really for me

some context/history for my hair:

• I have 3A/3B curly hair (it changes between the two, depending on damage and styling, sometimes I have both patterns at the same time)
• high porosity, rarely gets greasy even when it's healthy
• pretty prominent layers, bordering on long mullet
• I never straighten it (maybe once or twice a year) although I have been blowdrying it (medium heat, no diffuser) for the past two to three years
• I used to bleach it from early 2022 to early 2025 (only from black to brown, using 20vol) maybe 3 times a year (before coloring it) I haven't bleached it for the past year+ but I still dye it a few times a year, also around 3 to 4 times

for the past few months it's been extremely dry, much drier than usual, even drier than when I used to bleach it, and what's interesting is that my upper layer (very short) is also dry despite not being around for the bleach era. And I doubt the hairdye is doing any crazy damage to it bc my hair never feels worse after I dye it, plus I don't do it extensively (I'm aware I could be wrong about this tho)

Another thing is knots, my hair has always been very prone to tangling, and it's been worse due to the extreme dryness, altho this issue became much better last month when I got my current haircut, bc now I have way less density (or more like the illusion of it) in the long layer and overall less hair on my head (I don't mean hair loss), which means less tangling, but it's still present. And the main issue with tangling is that I can physically feel the breakage happen when I'm detangling, and I think this is the biggest cause of damage for me at the moment

I only have split ends in the longest layer (which makes up around 30% to 40% of my hair) so I tried trimming around 3-4 cms last week and I can tell it wasn't enough, but I stubbornly want to keep some length. (The long layer is plain crispy at this point not just dry lol)

another thing I just started doing is airdrying, and the difference is super noticeable, my curls have been getting way more definition, as opposed to the super loose curl pattern I was recently getting from blowdrying. The overall dryness is also less when I airdry.

I also just got some coconut oil and tried it last wash day and I could tell it made a difference. Less tangles, slightly less dryness. But it wasn't really enough, the issues are still there just slightly less (I'm definitely planning to keep using it tho)

Overall, I think my longest layer is definitely damaged, ik I can't reverse that damage but I want to know how to reduce the dryness until I'm eventually ready to give it a drastic trim

The rest of my hair doesn't really feel damaged as much as just dry, so for that, I'd like to know what I can do to take care of it and actually fix the issue

so yeah what do u guys think I should do now?

[side note: I don't have access to a lot of brands where I live, so if anyone is recommending a product, I'd rather u recommend a general type of product not a specific brand name]

thanks guys <3

This might sound weird, but I'd love some recs for dramas that induced some sort of asmr response in you

an example of this is The Best Thing (a cdrama actually) where the entire thing felt like those medical RP asmr videos lol I felt so sleepy watching it especially at night

the short kdrama Azure Spring also made me feel slightly similar recently

so yeah if there are any dramas (this is a kdrama community but I enjoy cdramas too) that made you feel this way, I'd love to hear about them!!

my full watch history: https://mydramalist.com/dramalist/haloum

This is my first time training ai for a uni project and I'm running some training (it should take around 10-12 hours, with 20 snaps) and I was tracking progress from the stats file since expanding the code output always slows down my browser. When it got to the first snapshot, the general output size got stuck at the last number it was at before the snapshot, and whenever I try to refresh the ouput directory, clicking on the refresh button simply doesn't even work. It's been stuck like this for almost half an hour maybe

I also know the refresh button isn't doing anything because I tried saving the stats file twice, like 15 mins apart, and they were identical (AND it took a long time to save, both times)

so is this normal? if not, what do you recommend I do about it? (GPU and CPU bars are both fully red, if that changes anything)

Update: I think it's entirely the right panel not just the output directories, bc the quota is stuck at 1:16 but when I check it from the kaggle homepage, it says 28h07 left currently and it's actively changing. So training is running fine I guess??? should I just wait the 10-12 hours without being able to check progress?

hello

I'm trying to use the malimg dataset to train a gan model for a research, and I found multiple versions online and a few on kaggle but I'm not sure which is the original (or at least closest to the original since I saw somewhere that it isn't available anymore) does anyone know the answer/where to find the closest to the original?

does anyone know who did the artwork for the intro of A Splendid Match ?

I found it so beautiful and I really hope it's not AI

SO MANY CATS

hii so I've never really gotten into kpop but recently I've been trying to learn Korean and I think listening to kpop would be a fun way to get myself more acquainted with the language

which groups/artists would you recommend to someone who usually listens to this kinda sound:

• The Weeknd
• Lana Del Rey
• Mac Miller
• RAYE
• H.E.R.
• Jhenee Aiko

I don't mind if your recommendation is more fun/upbeat/sparkly than these listed artists, for example I do also enjoy taylor swift and overall mainstream pop
