Foxy lady

To make this as an analogy to WDTFS, all three main characters' choices were influenced by their perceptions.

Nice way of tying that together. :D

Thus, to me, happiness then depends not on what we have such as wealth or talent but on the quality of choices we make. (inspired by Dumbledore)

True, perception can be added to that as well. :)

Orange and Foxy lady

Anyway, jpeg fun is whatever you think is fun.. If clubbing isn't fun for you then why club XDDD

Precisely. Our choices must always conform to what we are made of. That is the beauty of us all individuals... unique in every way..

Agreed with both statements. Is that what you meant by "little" though, Foxy lady?

Orange

Hahaha then jpeg, go and have fun! Stop staring at pictures XDDD

Haha, people keep telling me to go clubbing. But this is fun too. :D

Es0teric

Wonder who the oldest commenter on here is.

Good question... I wonder who is the youngest here too. If they are any teenagers, then I'll feel old.

Foxy lady

Life is too short to be little..

Sometimes I wonder what you really mean, Foxy lady. XD Little as in... unassuming, not strongly opinionated?

I thought you are older as well. You're always very polite and respectful here. That is I guess both a compliment and me stereotyping younger people XDDDD

Thanks, Orange. I will take that as a compliment. :) And stereotyping is inevitable.

Although, sometimes I feel too "mature" for my age. Like, I could probably have more fun. XD

Nora89

I had this feeling that you were older than me somehow..

I'm actually like half a decade younger than you, but I feel we're about the same age. Both in our 20s. :D

Yeah, smoking is not the best... Learning a lot of disease states and it is associated with most, but I'm sure you knew that. XD

you have this idea.. but I don't know why or how.
But in reality I am not as cool as I appear to be..

I guess I could be just comparing it to my boring life, but you've seem to have gone many places and experienced many things. So seems exciting to me. :)

Nora89

hahaha when your name is mpgpeg that applies.. but when your name has your year birth as well.. it's not so much anonymity
or were you sarcastic just now XDD

Haha, it does apply with my username. But no, I wasn't being sarcastic. XD

I was actually going to ask at one point if 89 was your birth year. You keep saying you're old, but you're not old at all. Not much older than me.

You've lived a much more exciting than me though. XD

more of a thought.. and I feel comfortable writing here

I see. This is a good place to let things out, with the anonymity and all.

Nora89

well, it does.. like all well crafted items, the older they get the more valuable they become. But I won't ever tell you.. that I still kept them, and they've always belonged to you.

I wonder who you are referring to. Sounds very personal.

True Evil

I am just messing around. Don't take me seriously :3

I know, but still... Your flirting is on a whole other level. I couldn't come up with that stuff.

Orange

I like how this thread seems to have a life of its own XDDDD

Yes it does. XD When I first joined, I noticed that too.

I gotta say, True Evil...

You are pretty talented at this. XD Very creative.

Nora89

I say, why does the U.S need to spend and expand the military expenditure to reach over 611.2 $ Bn in 2016 ALONE ..of course they won''t have money for education, health AND LIFE if killing someone in Iraq and Afghanistan is more important to them!

Yeah........... Yeah.... Yup. XD At least that's mainly the older generation's opinion, who have the most influence right now... (hoping at least)

Nora89

.. everything is cost- benefit analysis for politicians , for businessmen and even among individuals on a social level
I hope this way of looking at things would also collapse.. by any means necessary

Very true. That has hindered healthcare as well (in the US at least). Economics is not my speciality, I definitely have a lot to learn about that. XD

Nora89

If sacrificing world peace for a while would achieve this, so be it.

Interesting...

I am not a fan of violence, so I was never a fan of wars. But apparently, it is necessary for some countries to be convinced and the only way for them to back down in certain situations. Too bad.

But it also shows Sumin's tendency to blame Seju for everything wrong happening.. so even Nammi's trials would be Seju's mistake in Sumin's eyes.

That's probably the reason right there. XD

What will it take for Sumin to finally "wake up" and realize Seju doesn't deserve the blame? I know of one thing (the ring), hoping it is enough. On the other hand, if the bartender theory were true, that would do it.

Vacation. Love Japan <3.

Been wanting to go for a while now, definitely one of the first places I will vacation if I get the chance.

Nora89

Things don't work out this way everywhere nor that it is the best way.. sometimes maintaining the harmony is more important than one person selfish need specially if this need can be met in silence.

I am a fan of harmony as well. Hoping for world peace one day... But that's not looking so good right now.

Nora89

hahahah.. I remember talking about encrypted tattoos in the off topics.. this one would make a great one XDD

Yeah, I agree! The writer probably chose that number with that purpose.

In this whole Nammi Seju thing, I have the same question that Nammi had.. how come Sumin didn't blow off on her but on Seju! XD

Because Sumin loves Seju romantically and is more possessive of her as a result, I think.

I see Nammi as someone who was necessary for the plot to move forward. She did bring out Sumin's jealousy and inner feelings, because Seju was not planning on sleeping with anyone else and Nammi is one of her closest friends. So it was like being stabbed twice, once by your close friend (who you also slept with) and another by the one you have been in love with.

Also, she has arguably seen most of Sumin and Seju's history, that's why she doesn't think Sumin "knows a thing a two" about love, from chapter 85. I guess that's just my perspective.

The lyrics of 17711771 though. It is a good song.

I agree. Also, according to this blog:

"It means "I Love You." Actually it's like a code-breaking. So see how it becomes the words.

Let's turn the numbers "17171771" a 180-degree, and then it becomes like this "ILLILILI"
and here, make some blanks between some words. It goes like this. "I L LI LI LI"
Now, it becomes. "I LUV U" Got it?!

Briefly, This is how "17171771" turns into "I LUV U"
17171771 -> ILLILILI -> I LLILI LI -> "I LUV U""

Pretty cool.

Nora89

really? Sumin used the pager ?.. I mean she pretty much had a Motorola razr XD

I guess the writer likes to have fun. XD

I personally don't like the constant pressure on gay individuals to come out and advertising so.. I mean, telling teenagers to do so without any consideration to their circumstances is utterly irresponsible and narrow minded.

I agree, some internet personalities like YouTubers have been pressured, based on stereotypes, to come out. Personally, I would hesitate to share my relationship even if it was with a person of the opposite gender. But that is probably because I'm not a fan of social media in the first place. To each their own though. :) People can do what they want, as long as they are not forced to.

You need to go to a bathhouse in Japan.

Do you live in Japan? Or just vacation there?

yoonie0104

Haha, okay. Thank you! Really wish I understood Korean... XD

Nice little trivia for the manhwa... if they didn't already have cell phones... Definitely a troll tweet.

So the writer tweeted this very recently:

수민이랑 세주 풋풋연애할 때면 1990년대인데 삐삐로 연락했을까 데이트하고 헤어지면서 수줍게 삐삐칠게 하는 수민이... 17171771 이런거 보내고...

With Google translate:

When I was in the 1990s, when I was in love with Su-min and Se-Ju, I was in a picnic with a picnic girl.

Or if you separate the sentences from those numbers (which is apparently a Korean song):

When I was in the 1990s, when I was in love with Su-min and Se-ju, I contacted Pipi. 17171771 I'm sending these ...

Can someone properly translate this, because Google translate can only do so much... Do you think it's significant in any way?

depends, I mean this person is telling you this information probably because you are close to them

True... In that case, a chill reaction would come naturally.

I mean if you are friends who used to change cloths in front of each other .. this will be AWKWARD later.. and if she decided to be out one day, it's harder to hang out with her and have the same level of skinship without worrying about your mom suspecting you too XD

Haha that is also a good point. Which is kind of unfortunate, right? It's not like, if you're gay, you're attracted to every girl (your number 6). But that comes with it, I guess.

A good number of people are out on social media these days, so that makes it easier.

best reaction will be: "I knew you are gay :P" or "so?"

Nice words of advice. :) So you don't take offense when someone says they "knew" that you were gay? I guess that mainly applies to straight people when people assume that... But again, hoping for a time where there is no negative connotation to the word.

My reaction will probably be, "Oh, cool!" (probably not the best, but due to the fact that the percentage of gay people is very small compared to straight people). And I'll try not to do number 7 on your list.

YUP.. she says that Libra is so not like her.. but helloooo XD

I remember when you asked her what she wants Seju to do. XD Wondering the same thing myself.

Speaking of which, I was being interrogated by a friend who had no idea that I am gay: "so, you have a crush on that dude .. no maybe the other one, or maybe you like that professor"

Haha, how do people react when they find out you're gay? Is there a "politically correct" reaction?

yoonie who thinks she is straight

yoonie0104 is funny to me. She seems to contradict herself sometimes, nothing wrong with that though. XD

Then.. you forget how to be by your ownanymore.. and the cracks in your false independence.
So maybe forgetting how to flirt is a good thing after all.. so you won't do the same mistake again.. even though you would still do it.

That's deep, Nora89. You've lived a substantial life.
