Could you kindly explain the "deeply rooted Confucianism" remark, to those of us less familiar?

I watched this pretty much when it first came out but I came across it on my mate's Watch List, so I left a rating here.

A fantastic film!

A great film... just a shame the ending was a bit naff.

Made you look (LOL).

Dude, I was agreeing with you and replying to the poster beneath you.

Happy New Year, btw.

My apologies - perhaps you are correct?

When I was going to learn SL, I read how it was created by one particular person and then spread by a group... but, looking it up, this is not 100% verifiable (hence, I cannot, in good faith, claim it to be true).

To use an analogy: just because freemasons (supposedly) wrote the first book of rules for football, does not mean that they created football (or even that someone else had written rules before them).
When I was going to learn SL, I (foolishly) took it at face value when the website gave the historical background article, claiming SL was created by one man.

I'm glad you don't have enough things to organise that you need sub-folders.
According to your logic, everything on your computer should be neatly muddled up under the C-Drive main folder.

If you go to your profile, you'll see a Watchlist; from there, you can essentially bookmark titles you Plan to Watch.
How is this massively different from bookmarking articles?

Do you up-vote yourself after every comment too?

Have a nice 2025.

I'm putting this in a spoiler because, frankly, it is! And I'd hate to ruin it for anyone.

Firstly, I'm really glad you got more out of this than I did - I was so disappointed in the ending that, for someone not to have been, it means the high I felt at the end of the first instalment stayed with you. I'm actually pretty envious.

But the MC (Main Character) struggled the entire plot to bring down the serial killer and, by reincarnating, it meant that the scum bag was still out there... and would probably still kill the love of his life!
I get that the whole point of the programme was to show life is a gift to be treasured - and MC finally discovered that, despite the hardships - but, for me, it just kind of feel flat.

Still, going by the rating, I'm sure more people felt the way you did than how I did, so I'm grateful you countered my opinion, lest I turn anyone off of an otherwise great series.

I'm always on the look-out for Best of (Year) articles, but it was really annoying to see "K-movie" in almost every description!
Call it a pet peeve, but aside from strongly disliking the ridiculous term, it's completely defunct in an article about Korean films.

Otherwise, it's a pretty good list (even if it seems that Korea had a bit of a slow year for crime-thrillers).

Oh, even a pissy little dig at the end to add the the one at the beginning. I'm soooo impressed by having to argue with teenager mentalities online.

But, to nutshell: GRAMMAR IS GRAMMAR.
So, if somebody taught you otherwise, you need a refund.

I think that you purposely read things between the lines that were never there to begin with, but I'll humour you, in case I'm wrong.

Let's look at Ireland - or even Wales, for that matter: they have their own languages but, due to English, they're gradually losing them, as kids wonder what's the point to learn a dying language?
Heritage and a sense of identity should be enough to encourage kids to learn the basics... but is there the literature, the historical records written in these languages that gives them an additional benefit?
Do people speak these languages only to exclude outsiders from a conversation, or do some people genuinely express themselves better by using the tongue?

I'm from neither of those nations, so I cannot comment, but SL was never about a national identity!
SL was created to help the deaf communicate... it then spread and - as these things do - warped to match its surroundings.

Now, I'm not saying it's wrong that certain regions have slightly different ways of gesticulating certain concepts - especially when those signs were not a part of SL when it was taken to the region - but, if SL was created by a group of people in one specific area, with the grand idea of granting all deaf people the gift of communication, WHY SHOULD IT NOT BE THE SAME SL THE WORLD OVER, but with minor differences?

Your argument is akin to saying: Latin shouldn't be Latin when it's used in Japan, yet you somehow twisted things to appear as if I wrote: Why should Japanese speak Latin instead of Japanese?
It's the classic strawman.

Since trannies demanded the world to kneel before them (yuck), a dude can't use an elf chick with a bow in a game and a girl can't have a random username without people reading too much into it all.

Kindly cite your (erroneous) sources. Grammar is grammar.

You should also know that tabloid journalism is NOT a good example of English grammar.

Aaaaannyway...

It's probably been altered since your comment, but the correct heading SHOULD have punctuation:

Dylan Wang's, *Guardians of the Defeng,* announces premiere date.

The asterisks represent the proper italics that should be used instead of the apostrophes.

EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it: Korean dude dresses up as Austin Powers!

Disheartening... but there's a reason dudes call them feminazis.

Luckily, such people are still the minority, so politeness can prevail.

Ihanko tosi? Näin sanoo suomalainen...

Okay, the different alphabets I understand, but supposing, say, 5% of a population relies on SL... now spread that tiny number across the world.
So you can see how it would only make sense for there to be just ONE SL, and that being a universal SL (inve ted by someone and spread worldwide to help the deaf in each nation).
With 150 different SLs, it plain doesn't make sense for anyone to botjer learning it, unless being in direct daily contact with someone who communicates with it exclusively.

And that's the real shame.

I'll always open the door, don't worry.

Have a good one.

Well, in a world where young women spitefully ask if they look disabled when a door's held open for them, perhaps I was overly optimistic about the feeling bad bit...?
