LEE JONGHYUK & LEE SEUNGGYU For GLEAM.

Instead of apologizing for liking "trashy" media, consider: what is it doing well? If you like it, if it's making you feel pleasure and interest, then it must be succeeding at something. Is it shaping a set of emotional beats that you find satisfying to watch play out? Did it craft a character you find really compelling? Is something in the styling and aesthetics speaking to you? Did it unexpectedly resonate with a mood or experience you needed to see reflected right then?

However shallow or flawed a piece of media is, if you like it, it's because of something it did well - at least well enough to affect you, on the day that you encountered it.

There are a lot of good reasons to acknowledge this. One is about gratitude and manners: someone worked hard on that thing, and if they provided something that gave you happiness and pleasure, it's nice to honor that. Another is about breaking down the insidious habit of sorting everything into simple good/bad boxes. A piece of media, like a person, can do a lot of things wrong and a lot of things right, and the things on one side do not magically erase the other.

But the most important reason, I believe, is to get in the habit of celebrating what brings you pleasure and happiness. All your life there have been and there will be people telling you that you find joy in the wrong things, that if a particular thing makes you feel good it shows that there's something wrong with you. I reject that utterly. If a particular thing makes you feel good then there's something right, about you and about that thing. I'm not saying that pleasure is the only important thing or that every pleasure should be indulged indiscriminately. All I'm saying is that pleasure is in and of itself a good thing, and deserves notice.

the foreshadowing here is exquisite, because pete is going to break vegas down so efficiently that all he will have is his honest feelings about pete to rely on to get him back. vegas you’re going to be honest for the first time in your life with this man

The fact that Seojoon has folders upon folders saved and named: (1) Seojoon, (2) Do not open, (3) Are you sure? (4) You may regret it (5) Hanjiwoo… in order to access Jiwoo’s pictures he didn’t come around to delete, kills me. Also, the fact that he finds it difficult to fake cry onset during filming, but cries deeply upon viewing these photos, kills me even more.

It was so nice to meet the real pete this episode! Take that punishment pete, you love it anyway....

The phone password.. and he presses twice :P

Excerpt for the busy:

There are 375,680 deaf individuals in Thailand according to the 2018 report by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security. On average, 94.79 percent of differently-abled people in Thailand had completed primary education, while only 2 percent further go on to complete secondary education. Undergraduate education amongst differently-abled people plummeted to a mere 0.35 percent, while those with postgraduate education dropped to an alarmingly low 0.26 percent. Needless to say, differently-abled individuals face a different set of barriers in the education system, making entry into the workplace a challenging one.
