I am so not OK 😫 *Clicks "Next episode"
Liz O'Connor⁷ (@drmicrochem.bsky.social)
So, I'm trying to watch #Kingdom again. Six minutes to go in Episode 1 & I'm not OK. I've never done well with the horror or zombie apocalypse genres, but I feel like this #kdrama merits my attention & courage. Please tell me that it's worth me being brave. 😰😱

It's so frustrating when they lose the momentum & muddy up a good story in service to a set number of episodes. Or when they damage a phenomenonal story at the end with a rushed or ambiguous ending. After you put your viewers through all that, don't phone it in.

My mom, my brother & I were very close. We had to be because of dad. I'm so proud of how she got free & bloomed
Liz O'Connor⁷ (@drmicrochem.bsky.social) reply parent
It was a real strategy for Silent Generation men. My dad suggested it when my mom when back to nursing school & started getting socially & financially independent of him. I was in college, for God's sake. I had a very stern talk with her. She became a phenomenonal nurse & kicked him to the curb.

I'm finally watching #DrCha. The @netflix.com description didn't do it justice, so I put it off. I love it. I love Cha Jung Sook & Roy Kim's pettiness. It's SO satisfying. Seo In Ho & Choi Sung Hee are a match made in narcissistic, scheming Hell—especially Seo In Ho. Can't wait for his comeuppance.

But it comes down to this: 2015 Duo was joyful, addictive & empowering. I still retain that 10 yr old Swedish.

I'm a former user of early Duo (2015) & current Duo. I also teach chemistry in a hybrid format. So I know a little about being both an online student & teacher. I could write a long thread about how they've removed everything that made OG Duo great & violated every tenet of a good online course. +

The free version of the Memrise app was the best for me. After months of trying, it taught me the alphabet in 3 hrs, including 와, 왜, 외 워, 웨, 위 & 의. Still working on batchim & reading in syllable blocks, instead of letters. It's not going to make you fluent, but it's good for basics, vocab & drills
