Thank you, jewel. Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone!
That's right. The killer cop is about to escape his crime murdering a teenager since the jury passes the verdict claiming he's innocent. People in Ferguson and neighboring cities violently oppose this obnoxious injustice. They don't really have mood to celebrate holiday anymore...

I'm going to respectfully ask that we not get into all of that Ferguson craziness here. Unless someone here was there that day and knows exactly what happened, or else has definitive video or other evidence, it's all just speculation.
So a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving to everybody.

NY Times said the violence in the cities are probably caused by thugs who exploit the situation. Citizens still take their time celebrating holidays, and salving the mess they caused by putting up a strike. People take part in social works as fixing the broken and decorating churches and walls. The National Guard is on duty to prevent any conflicts arise.
I apologize for bringing this up. Again, I wish everyone a warm and cozy Thanksgiving meals with your families and friends!

I'm watching "Tree with Deep Roots" and really enjoying it. Very exciting. I have a question tho (for those of you who saw the drama obviously) but didn't wanna start a whole new thread on it so I decided I'll just ask here. Hope that's okay. No spoilers, I don't think.
So in the beginning of the drama there's the king. But then there's also the king's father. Why is that? Why is the son already a king when the father is still alive? I can understand the father stepping down early because he's desirous of his son taking the throne sooner but then why does the father still want to rule? And if he still wants to rule, why did he step down?? You see my confusion here??

Jewel, to answer your question about TWDR (why the son is a king when the father is still alive) is very, very complicated. I think you'd better wait a bit so someone can get their thoughts together.
However, I will say that the reason I understand the thing is BECAUSE of TWDR. When I watched that show, I figured out what was going on with them. However, I also received a LOT of help because of this thread:
TWDR Thread in Other Shows
Toward the end of the thread, I posted my thoughts on the show, which contains a lot of spoilers for you at this point, but if you start at the beginning and look for people's thoughts on the historical context, you might get some illumination.

Huh. Happy New Year? LOL...
I'm better now, thanks. I am writing a review of Jang Hui Bin, a movie from 1961, and it's been a revelation researching about her (the movie is not very historically accurate, but really good anyway). So scary, it makes one wonder, what bozo came up with the idea of making this woman a perky fashion designer? Really odd.
But now I'm thinking I really have to watch Dong Yi after all, because of course she and the Hui Bin were contemporaries and both Suk-jong's special special ladies...

In fairness to JOJ LIL, it was based on a book meant to be a different take on Jang Hee Bin. Both the author (who was the writer for the series) and producers of the drama openly admitted historical accuracy wasn't high on the priority list. Probably Kim Tae Hee's best performance so far but still not a series I would recommend to anyone looking for something relevant on Jang Hee Bin. I liked Dong Yi but would recommend the KBS series Jang Hee Bin from 2002-03 starring Kim Hye Soo over DY. asianwiki.com/Jang_Hee-bin

Yeah, knov1, that's the one I'd really like to see, but haven't got a clue where to watch it. DF apparently doesn't have the rights to show it "in my country," which implies they do have it in some other country, which is annoying. But I asked for notifications. Occasionally, something shows up.
