Isn't the hippocampus where short-term memory is stored? Why did the #Kdrama#QueenOfTears#눈물의여왕 said it is for long-term #memory? It's also actually stored in parts of the brain, the hippocampus only acts as a catalyst to store, not access, right?
Based on what I've noted down, the hippocampus deals with all things explicit memory, but I think it is more related to the handling of long term memory, as short term memory is handled elsewhere I believe.
I didn't do great in psychology so don't take my word for it though 😂
A quick Google search does agree with what you've said, however it also agrees in saying that the hippocampus helps consolidate it into long term memory.
For those of you not aware, there is a whole genre of Korean historical fiction about the invention of Hangeul, the Korean alphabet, because the real-life story behind the invention of Hangeul is “an incredibly sophisticated and super-secret linguistics project carried out centuries before the field of linguistics was actually invented.”
It was also revolutionary in that it made literacy accessible to commoners who didn’t have the resources to learn Chinese.
This is a story that hardly needs dramatization, but there is nonetheless a lot of dramatization, and I am such a nerd I will watch any dramatized version of the invention of Hangeul.
So, that said, TREE WITH DEEP ROOTS is more hardcore about the invention of Hangeul than THE KING’S LETTERS although TREE WITH DEEP ROOTS is older.
THE KING’S LETTERS has King Sejong secretly teaming up with Buddhist monks.
In TREE WITH DEEP ROOTS his work is organized into cells of scholars who don’t know the whole scope of the project, and there is a scene involving a dissection (which would have been sacreligious in a Confucian country back then) so he can diagram the anatomy of the mouth and throat.
A common trope (if we can call it that) in #Kdrama is they always tell their plans/next step to their enemy/opposition, otherwise, there won't be friction and twists. ^_^;;
E.g. “I'll talk to B tomorrow, so forget your plans.” Which won't happen because of the tip. LOL
@youronlyone A common variant is when they unintentionally tell the enemy their plans by lengthy, detailed conversations carried on in public or near public spaces at significant volume
@youronlyone@kdrama@asiandrama@tv@kdrama I'm going to write a review later but the only issue with this #kdrama is that it's too fast-paced. I would have liked more scenes to better explain the plot.
They should have done 32 episodes to further develop the conspiracy.
Everything else is excellent and I agree with your review
Yes! Too fast! They have a good overall plot going, they shouldn't have been afraid to extend it. Also, it would be interesting to know more about the other characters as side stories, like the Underdog Team, they only gave us a very basic background, there's more to them!
Once again, the 33-year-old superstar #KimTaeRi (#김태리) displayed her acting versatility in #Alienoid2 (#외계인2부). No matter what genre, role, or gap between her projects, her acting is diamond level!
The new #Kdrama entitled, #PyramidGame (#피라미드게임) is far too similar to what I designed in the early‒mid 90s. And yes, I used it in school, too (but for a different purpose).
@youronlyone@kdrama@asiandrama@kdrama
Ha ha to No,5.
I was big on codes too - I grew up with a WWII film on tv every afternoon and a brother that was into Warlord comics. So spy stuff - obvs as covert resistence, was my thing. Graduated to Modesty Blaise found by chance on the shelves of our, frankly, amazing local one-horse-town library. It had Prefab Sprout, The Cramps and The The in the vinyl section. I can’t thank that person enough. #library
Exactly! Books and TV of our era influenced us. When you create a code system, or crack one, it feels "I'm a spy now!" 😂
Now that mentioned it, I think that's also where why I'm so much into hierarchy, and in that case, the pyramid model. (And then making sure ni one figures out who's calling the shots. 😅)
> I need more clarity about whether they've resigned themselves to adapting to the new bodies or what.
Yep! It also appears to me that they quickly accepted their new reality and no longer care much if and when they switch back. They did not even go through the trope/expected reaction: “don't touch my body!” or “where's my <anatomy_here>”.
They both act and live as a man and woman. I think the writer is also approaching it from a scientific perspective? Theoretically at least, a man and woman's body remains the same, so when there's consciousness/spirit transfer, they can only do as much as the body has been capable of doing since. The graceness, the endurance, and all that.
In addition to that, a consciousness will be affected by the body's hormones. And we know for a fact that the hormones of men and women are different. And since only their consciousness transferred, the way their brain is wired is also subject to the physical brain.
Thus, the ML in the FL's body, without his knowledge, is influenced by that body's female hormones and the way that body's brain is wired. And similarly with the FL in the ML's body. Sooner or later, their consciousness will adapt and accept that new reality and live as one.
I think that's why it appears that they've quickly accepted their body swap. The ML in FL's body is living as real woman, and the FL in ML's body as a real man.
UNLESS! They were swapped somehow when they were younger, and actually just returned to their own bodies. If so, then of course, they'll be “at home”.
I've always thought about it if I body swapped, and personally, I always end up with “reality”.
In my current body, I'm a straight guy. But if I get swapped into a woman's body? My reasoning is, “this is my new reality, so live it”.
I went further, what if there's a technology to extend our lives by moving to a new body? We retain our memories and experiences as well. Will I choose a man's body again? Or, will I select a woman's? My choice is always to pick a woman's body and live as one. And if it gives me a good experience, I'll pick it again in the next lifespan.
For me, my decision comes from accepting my reality. If I'm swapped in an extraterrestrial body, then live as one. If in a robot, then live as one.
Ahh! It's the “This is me” scenario. It's similar to LGBTQ, it is their reality so they live it.
So, I think that's what the writer is hoping for in the series. The two characters just accepted their new reality. Life as a woman and live as a man. They both identify as “straight” but the gender is detached from it. They are “straight” is relative to their present body.
I need a #kdrama or #cdrama recommendation where the romance has a happy ending, please? I cannot afford to have my heart shredded by fiction currently.
And my brain doesn’t seem to be able to deal with words currently so I’m not reading.
People complain a lot when #Kdrama pairs an older person (be it a man or a woman) with a younger person, with a 5-year gap. But the same people celebrated when Anakin Skywalker fell in love, and later married, Padmé Amidala (who was older than him). 🤷🏽
@youronlyone a lot depends on the actual age. A 20 year old with a 15 year old makes a bit of difference, but a 40 year old and a 35 year old is negligible.
From MyDramaList's 2023 year summary. This is actually a good reflection of my taste in dramas. (Note the lack of romance dramas lol and lots of wuxias & thrillers hehe.) And apparently 90% of my dramas are rated 7 or 8, and about 8% or so are 9.
@liztai You inspired me to have a look at my 2023 in dramas 🌸 Mine are quite different from yours 😄 Actually, almost the reverse. Except for Mysterious Lotus Casebook, my highest rated dramas are all romances.
So a Discord group I am part of asked - what 12 dramas will I recommend people?
So this is a list of my favourite #CDramas and #KDramas. Have you seen any of them?
@liztai@Sollenbum Just realized that Cheng Lei is the male lead in "A Familiar Stranger" but, of course, also the charismatic second lead in "My Journey to You" 🌸 Odd that I hadn't seen that before, because he is remarkable in both dramas.
