dunno. i finished it like a few moments ago. the show was excellent throughout but i didn't find the wrap up thrilling at all. there were a few positive aspects that had some closure but ... yeah i'll have to brood over it for a bit.

The show is not available in all regions. like it's not in EU neither on iq nor wetv.

oh dear. you see. the moment you step out of the closet, not only crackhead jimmy will turn up. but his disabled buddy timmy ( timm-ah) will turn up as well to console you. i feel your your luck is starting to turn. 2 thumbs up. see being brave and in tune with your sexuality really pays off (of course butt-plug training helps). just a word of caution though, knowing your luck he could be Armin Meiwes follower, in which case when he says he is "going to eat your penis" he might actually mean exactly that. but again, your luck is on the up.and of course you're going to clutch on to any explanation that doesn't imply that you're an idiot but under an attack by ccp suicide death machine ... and you're right. you're that important. obviously because your argument was so solid, concise and clear that now you're repeatedly being called a cunt. anyway i don't want to jinx your relationship with jimmy and i'm routing for you. timmy i'd be cautious with. unless suicide by being eaten is your thing. actually yeah i wonder where does that obsession with suicide death machine comes from. too many sexy korean boys were lost? shucks. what a shame. used to be a time when men were men and just died naturally of a heart attack at 50.

... i got a notification that you replied but don't see it. are you trying to filter your reply like an adult would or am i going to get another masterclass in stupidity.

oh so that's the language you speak. oh-shucks instead of ignoring the abuse you were hurling at me for 2 days and subtly dropping hints that your behavior doesn't match what's expected of an educated adult. i should've went ahead and called you a cunt outright? oh i'm sorry that it took me too long. of course you are uneducated, and of course you're not an adult. i wonder what miracle happened? i know.... that was toothless crackhead jimmy! well done you. i hope you make a wonderful couple.see the moment you step out of your comfort zone (in your case the closet) - things start to happen. although, do stash your valuables. even though he seemed gentle, it was mostly due to your experience with butt-plugs. can't trust druggies. even though you dont have much. but that $100 quid you got left after your paid your bills rent etc out of your $60K disposable income. he'll definitely take it all for himself. hang ona second did you already spend that 100 quid on jimmy. ah shit. dont worry about it. ask jimmy if you can earn 10 back, i'm sure he'll have change left and something for you to do. you'll love it.

to anyone else reading this -again, i unreservedly apologize. that man is a gift that keeps on giving. ... just like his a.... oh no i'm doing it again. sorry sorry.

oh right, of course. is it my fault that your brain has no capacity to keep 2 paragraphs in short term memory or that you can't afford to get a massage from some ladyboy. you're so tense and picky. make do with what you can afford. your neighbor crackhead jimmy might not be as handsome as Yoo Hyuk Jae but he kinda likes ya. who knows behind that toothless grin could be a warm ... mouth. moist toothless (almost human) mouth. now yeah even if he turns you down, jesus is your answer. jesus loves you even though everyone else thinks that you're a cunt :D

to anyone else reading this - i unreservedly apologize. it was an accident. i was having too much fun.

oh jezuz. it really is complicated for you to read a few words in one go.
you replied to me.i was the one who brought up the market for luxury goods in the reply to original op. you joined in and i gave you an example where your random link to irrelevant stats breaks. per capita can be pretty much meaningless. you're the one who posted per capita stats, so i assumed you know its limitations. but yeah you just posted a link to oecd stats looked at it "oh those ranking look good.job done"

are you in the same thread or should i treat your current state of confusion as normal?
all my posts are about the market of luxury goods and how it affects the brands when people they are trying to sell it to are unhappy with the people who supposed to promote those products.

that's why i said, if you have stroke. or recovering from accident which involved some heavy damage to your brain. relax, don't force yourself to join grown up conversation whenever you hear a familiar word. it'll be ok without your input. don't get agitated, take a puff of hmm i have to assume you have an inhaler because well, i'm sorry just stereotypes and your obsession with korean boys. nevermind

lol israel is doing alright. one might say punching above way above their weight. if you recall a time they let anything like this slide let me know. in any case they would be crybabies if they couldn't do anything about it. of course i will be sad if brands will start to dissociate from people involved, but i can understand their financial predicament.

sorry i forgot you have attention span of a gold fish.
but in fairness i had a good laugh.

simpler terms, a lot of chinese people have a lot of money which they are prepared to spend on luxury and premium goods. thereby creating the largest market for those premium and luxury goods in the world.
Numbers vary between 33 & 46 % of global market, but it's bigger than any other country and probably quite a few countries combined.

But in any case back to the original point that the op made saying that chinese are hypersensitive and they should "just get over it"
My answer was : "no they don't".
because brands which pay 100s of millions in endorsements and advertisements can't afford to do so, and yeah celebrities who make most of their money from endorsement and adds need to mind "their business well".

btw just advertisement market is 201 billion dollars, that excludes direct brand endorsements: https://www.campaignasia.com/article/power-shift-in-chinas-ad-market-local-agencies-lose-ground-ebiquity/503733

i got to admit i had a good laugh, at the stats you sent.
first of all it covers only oecd so obviously purchasing power isn't considered.
i'm in ireland, disposable income shows ~$32K pa, alright ~$2.7K per month,
that's a price of a Gucci Beatrix large tote bag (2.6K euro)
i can bitch about prices in ireland for fucking ages.
but, i do know that house maintenance prices in US are 3 times higher for house maintenance.
and that's where even i go like ... how much.

gucci sales in ireland: 5.46 million euro (https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2023/1204/1420106-sales-at-gucci-ireland-soar-by-33-to-5-46m-last-year/)

gucci sales in shanghai: 7.7 billion euro ( https://chinaretailwatch.com/p/gucci-shutters-two-shanghai-stores)
lol it's closing stores there, hang on wasn't there some controversy a little while ago...

...no wayyy...

Alright, next " how silly it is that China continues to refer to itself as Communist"
I honestly don't care how or what that system is called.
Taxes in germany hover around 60% what's that? capitalism?

Finally, you keep deliberately misgendering me isn't it illegal where you are? But wahtever, so far your only verifiable expertise is butt-plugs and lube.
I really hope that you're just another ... wait nah not yet.. i really hope you're not recovering from a stroke or some serious accident in which case i sincerely apologize.

it's Li Lian Hua from https://mydramalist.com/713331-the-lotus-casebook
there's an aquarel image shown in the intro.i didn't have ava at the time so i thought eh it's nice, bland and unassuming - i'll use that.kinda forgot i had it anyway, see you around. i'm pretty sure there will be plenty of laughs ahead.

Somehow I doubt it 😆 anyway, for now his only opinion I'll consider taking seriously woul be brands of butt-plugs or lube.

lol sry it was supposed to be masters. in any case the man can read individual words but when they are put together his mind goes blank and starts to make up whatever he think it means. so he doesn't know what a fact is and i doubt that he graduated from anywhere. but then again he could be recovering from a stroke or some other brain damage. which could also explain his obsessive/aggressive behaviour.

i guess it's too peaceful there for western liking. i wonder who pitched this theme.

Well according to him he has degree in journalism from top US university and 30 years of experience. Even if he will out it in his profile I'm unlikely to believe it. But all lists dedicated to good looking Korean boys and watchlist to match is a dead giveaway.

Pun was unintended, but now I'll say it was 😂

well gender listed as male, by the look of it he is big time into korean boys. which is fair enough, different strokes and all that jazz, although when i asked about something that should be in his area of expertise he kinda got defensive. dunno if he is trapped in a closet or identifies as something else. anyway i'll play along with whatever.

etok1 in a different thread. below,
"celebrating imaginary wins over imaginary opponents ... long-term mental health no favors"
he seems to be dwelling in his imaginary world for quite a long time now.

eh, let me correct that: largest market for luxury & premium goods:

https://www.statista.com/forecasts/1255183/leading-markets-for-luxury-goods-industry-worldwide-based-on-revenue

although you will see videos of people eating rats.

well tough call. her line was sketchy at best and it was something tha she could have influence over. if the backlash is primarily over portraying china now as it was 40 years ago then she''s coul dbe collateral damage. anyway im pretty sure it'll be alright.

if she was younger & inexperienced it would be too much of an ask to show some cop-on. like if it's a disney production there's no way they were going to show china even in a neutral light. so she is in her 40s, has her own studio, she did some high profile work so .. she could've easily influenced for her lines to be rephrased.dunno.

well they dont. it is the largest market (for luxury and premium goods) on our planet (at least as far as spendable income is concerned). so yeah cultural-sensitivity is definitely something to keep in mind. i hope disney paid her enough to not have to work again.
