It kind off spoiled the second half of the series.
1. The only reason it's hard for the FL to get married is because they are all weaklings. 🤣 2. The ML, even though he got scared to death, it was not enough to make him run away from her.
If there's a husband for the FL, it's the ML. He stayed with her even before he fell started to develop feeling for her. Logically speaking, it will be fine for the two of them. Even though he's scared, he's fine seeing ghosts again. Where else can you find someone like the ML? Rare types.
The rest of the side plots are just plot devices to make their romantic journey fun and exciting. How else can you make their relationship stronger other than throwing them into the fire and coming out stronger together, as a unit?
Guys, just because AI is used doesn't automatically mean it's a bad thing. Unless you've actually recognized a…
> Do you know the main reason people should boycott AI regardless of how people use it? Because all the data centers are destroying our planet much faster than any other factory did in the past 100 years or so. Not to mention the people who live close to these data centers.
Do you also know that datacenters has been around since the early 2000s? There's one close where I live and has been around since 2003. Did it destroy the planet much faster? Did it make us mutate into some monster?
Oh wait! For a few months, I've worked inside datacenters too. I'm still an entity with a pure human DNA. If what you're saying is true, I wonder why I haven't developed mutant powers yet, or any one living around datacenters.
> And let's not forget the other important thing. Because AI is much cheaper, VFX artists, graphic designers, and other artists are either losing their jobs or earning much less money.
All jobs are like that. If you can't keep up, you'll be definitely left behind. That is the reality of life, with or without AI.
I used to own a lot of websites and services. I developed them myself. I wrote the articles myself. I've been earning good money for years.
Then came syndication feeds, then Google Reader, and similar syndication feed readers/software. Since I was only relying on the ads on my website, I immediately felt the effect.
Did I blame the new tool for my unfortunate situation? Hell NO. I knew I shouldn't rely on ads alone but I kept postponing my plans until boom, it's no longer sustainable.
There are developers who kept on telling people "RTFM" (Read The Fucking Manuali and "if you don't like it, fork it". These people are not developers and are asking for support or giving suggestions how to improve things, but they're told to RTFM and fork and create their own.
Who should be blamed if these people are now turning to AI to do exactly what they were told? To fork it and create their own software or version?
We all have roles and expertise. Does an engineer or architect or carpenter or plumber tell a CEO or President to RTFM? And you don't like it, do it yourself?
When people asks for support and provides suggestions, it is because they understand AND acknowledge your expertise. But if you're going to be an arse, don't be surprise if these people starts using AI to create their own software.
How about unfortunate people who can't pay for services? "Stop using AI because human artists are losing jobs!" Umm, these people can't pay for anything, so even without AI, they still can't pay human artists.
So why blame the tool? Why don't you blame those capable of paying human artists but instead choose to use AI? Maybe because it's easier to deal with with AI than humans? Or it's cheaper as you've said?
How do you solve it then? Improve your craft. Consider AI a competitor. What do you do when there's a new name in town? Do you whine and campaign against them, "Stop doing whatever because I'm long clients!"
Like it or not, AI is a tool that is here to stay. Either you adapt and coexist with it, or not and get left behind.
I am NOT pro-AI but I am also not anti-AI. AI isn't perfect, and yes, I am also affected by it. But you won't see me whining about it. I study it so I know how I can compete with it. So I know where I can improve so that my work/results are far better than an AI.
I also study it so I know it's weaknesses so that I can exploit that gap while I still can. And, also to use it for my advantage. To learn new knowledge and improve myself.
Being a "purist pro/anti-AI" is not helping anyone. What YOU people should do is sit down, meet halfway with AI, and start writing rules and regulations, laws, and guidelines.
Being a "purist pro/anti-AI" won't do anything good for anyone. It is nothing but a distraction so we don't write down laws and create regulations. Thus these capitalists can exploit the industry and market as much as they possibly can. And for the rest of us? It'll be too late because people focused on the wrong things.
Guys, just because AI is used doesn't automatically mean it's a bad thing. Unless you've actually recognized a…
There are two types of AI, generative and assistive.
The East Palace also used AI but it was assistive. They fixed the lighng on dark scenes mainly. Some hard to film fight scenes also received assistive + generative AI to make it smoother but an actual scene was used.
Is that evil then?
The problem with "purist anti-AI" people is they don't really understand the technology. AI is a tool, no more and no less. How it is used by humans is how it is defined. In fact, strictly speaking, it is not the tool that is defined, it's the way a human uses the tool.
- Is it evil to use assistive AI to check your draft for typos and grammatical errors? - Is it evil to use assistive AI for search knowing how much garbage you'll find with traditional search? - Is it evil to use AI to help you code accessibility features in your software? - Is it evil to use AI to help an autistic person? - Is it evil to use AI to program a new software even though you can do it yourself because you have 20 years experience? - Is it evil for a writer to use AI to check their drafts, even though they have 40 years of experience in writing and worldbuilding, and have corporate editors at their beck and call?
The answer is a resounding NO. It is not evil. It is not bad.
AI used for assistive and accessibility purposes is a legitimate and valid use of the tool. However, "purist anti-AI" won't have anything to do with it because they're ableists and trolls. They claim they care, but in reality they do NOT. They claim they are very knowledgeable about AI but the truth is they aren't. They only hear themselves, they won't acknowledge the positive uses of AI.
Well, here's the thing. A lot of customer service teams today use AI. Agents use it to help them analyze the issuef the customer. Agents use it to help them find the most appropriate response from their huge internal wiki or guidebook. Agents also use it to fix their English.
It helps low-performing agents do a better job and quality than being in line for termination. It improved the SLA for customer inquiries.
There are also veteran programmers or developers who use AI to speed things up. They understand the AI tool far better than these "purist anti-AI" that's why they have no issues with using it. They know its limitations. They know how to use it responsibly.
So, what now? Are "purist anti-AI" people going to stop watching, using customer support, using any software, reading anything, because they used assistive AI?
Besides, what's the difference between a veteran writer using AI when before AI these veteran writers were already hiring ghostwriters? If these "purist anti-AI" are going to argue that writers who use AI for whatever purpose are "stealing" or "lying". Then they should say the same against writers who hired ghostwriters.
How about researchers who use AI to research and write their papers? Are they thieves and liars? Are these "purist anti-AI" even aware that researchers do hire people to do their research for them and write their papers? It's actually a very lucrative job, but it's not easy to get into.
The most stupid thing about all of these is the fact that most, if not all, "purist anti-AI" use AI to detect AI. ROFLMAO. And those who claim they can tell an AI from non-AI? Majority of them actually have a very high false positive, especially when it comes to art and writing.
Take for example writing. These "purist anti-AI" people claim that an article is AI simpli because it sounded like AI or used words and punctuations that is often seen in AI results. Have they forgotten that these AI tools learned from HUMANS?! Of course it will look like AI because AI is simply using what it learned from human writers! Duh!
Do you know who are the number 1 victims of these "purist anti-AI" when it comes to writing? The AUTISTIC people. That is we consider these "purist anti-AI" as ableists. Not to mention, they repeatedly said to not use AI to autistics who need it, and has the audacity to tell them to "learn to live" or whatever ableist garbage they can think of.
Anyway, it is fine to be pro or anti anything, just don't be a "purist". The "purists" are arses. Trolls. The world is not black-and-white, it is colorful. There is always something in the middle that can't be categorized as good or evil.
This applies to "purist pro-AI" too. I know some who are "purist pro-AI" but they still use non-AI processes and tools. /facepalm
its ok, honestly its just a cliche story but thta doesnt mean it cant be good, only thing that was really annoying…
The first two episodes is reserved for setting the story. They actually perfected it here. They knew the viewers will expect it so they kept on teasing everyone. But again, these are intro episodes. Setting the background and the world.
In the next episode, that's when the craziness begins.
No i don't like that drop all eps at once style.It's much better to have that Weekly Anticipation...Also this…
You missed the point. It was a mock (I can't remember the proper term) on Netflix's decision making on which shows to drop all at once. To make it clearer, I was pointing out what type of shows Netflix should and shouldn't.
For the past few years, they've been dropping all episodes for series that don't deserve it. It doesn't matter if it was a Netflix produced show or not because Spooky in Love was simply used as an example or reference.
And for the record, I for one am not a fan of dropping all episodes simply because I don't have the time to do marathons. But since it's a Netflix tradition, I was pointing out an example of the type of shows that they should since they'll do it anyway.
Spooky in Love was simply used as an example or reference. That's why I said "this is the type of show", and NOT "you should've drop all episodes of Spooky in Love". Two totally different things. I hope it's clearer.
Eunbin reinvented her acting here. She really knows when to create a new acting, and when to mix in her previous characters. So far I haven't seen any of her previous acting from her previous characters. Then there's Sejong, they're complementing each other.
You can't imagine if someone else took the role, it'll be very different. I guess being at the same age made it easy for them to mashup their characters. Same generation, similar experiences and jokes. It's like being friends since kids, they both understood each other and what they want to portray.
I wouldn't be surprised if the director didn't do much with these two.
Hahaha. I love the subtle message in the finale episode: a capitalist company owned by a workers' cooperative. The true goal of SocDems.and DemSocs, which has been working for decades in Spain and other companies.
As the FL said, something never seen in Korea, yet.
Episode 10 and the rest of Season 1:That was good editing. They focused on the human aspect and familyness. The…
Here's what's next. These are suggestions.
1. Consider actually launching Kumusta as a real restaurant Filipino brand in Korea. 2. For that original branch, it can remain the show's main branch. 3. In Season 02 they can visit a new branch somewhere.
4. Show us more Koreans who reacted negatively.
Let's be honest, not everyone will like Filipino food just like not every Filipino likes every Filipino food just because it's Filipino; or Koreans liking every Korean food just because it's Korean. It tells the audience that the customers were genuine random customers and were not filtered thriugh some online application process and told to give positive feedbacks as much as possible.
5. In S02, time to bring in additional Filipino food.
Since they got Rebisco as a sponsor, why not convince Lucky Me to sponsor them? Many Koreans like the spiciest flavor (but NOT calamansi flavors) of Lucky Me Pancit Canton.
6. Dishwasher please. 🤣🤣 The dishwasher doesn't have to be a celebrity. Could be BTS. Dishwashers are always BTS after all. 😆
7. Taho! Introduce Taho! Halo-halo is overrated! They didn't even feature hali-halo at all even though there seemed to be a few orders.
Taho is a must. The Koreans need to learn there's more to soya / tofu than getting out of prison. 😝
8. Sell lambanog! Okay, just kidding, don't do this one.
That was good editing. They focused on the human aspect and familyness. The core values of both Filipino and Korean cultures.
In the entire S01, it was clear they didn't show a lot scenes. I wish they did because some of those scenes could've changed the narrative for the better and made the theme even more profoundly "Introducing Filipino culture to Koreans".
For example, we are not sure if JCW was told what the lechon session is called, you know, eating together from one large table with banana leaves. Usually eating with hands, but using utensils is not forbidden. Even though he volunteered and wasn't part of the plan, he did show genuine curiosity. That's prime cultural exchange right there and then! But they missed to capitalized on JCW.
Talent fee? That's not a valid excuse, for one, he said so himself, he saw it online and rushed to volunteer and help. He likely asked to be given the same salary as everyone else, and the way he worked? That was genuine too. I saw no acting there.
If anything, he was gave everyone a lot of cultural exchange content but it seems that they didn't include those scenes. He obviously asked a lot of questions and shared his own too! Really missed opportunity there.
Unless of course they reserved those scenes for special episodes and we're being to impatient. 😆
I submitted a correct but because they often give me the silliest reasons to not correct incorrect information, I'll post my reason here why it should be "co-production with Korea" and not "co-production with Philippines".
---
It's wrong English to say "co-production with the Philippines" when: 1. It was a Philippine production 2. It was a Philippine-led production 3. It was originally and first aired in the Philippines
You don't see Korean productions filmed in the Philippines "co-production with Korea" because: 1. It was a Korean production 2. It was a Korean-led production 3. It was originally and first aired in Korea
---
Partnering with a local production company is SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) because they know their own countri better. It doesn't make the shor suddenly their own. Kirean production companies also partner with Philippine production companies when filming in the country, and you will never see a Kdrama or any Korean show suddenly labeled as "co-production with Korea".
The original description was already correct "co-production with Korea", but as of this post, it changed to "co-production with the Philippines". 😆 That's no different from exporting Philippine Ube, then importing it in the Philippines as Foreign-brand Ube shake. 🤣🤣🤣
The movie that divided the Philippines more deeply. To this very day, there is no clear evidence if General Emilio Aguinaldo did order the assassination of General Antonio Luna and Gat Andres Bonifacio, which is a thorn to all the Aguinaldo clan. At the same time, it is not clear if former President Manuel L. Quezon was indeed guilty of the accusations thrown at him.
Both clans, Aguinaldo and Quezon, are denying the accusations about their forefathers, leaving the Filipino people divided to this day. Were the accusations against Aguinaldo just a smear campaign by Quezon? Were the accusations against Quezon simply an attempt to blame him for the current political situation in the Philippines?

P.s. Classic romcom. I miss this type of shows.
We just knew him as Kim the entire series, so there's no reason for the audience to know his new identity/name.
Do you also know that datacenters has been around since the early 2000s? There's one close where I live and has been around since 2003. Did it destroy the planet much faster? Did it make us mutate into some monster?
