~opening~
🐻: Welcome to 2/2/2022 Akdong Seoul! What an amazing date~ With the advanced technology of movie/drama apps these days, it has also increased our time spent watching tv at home. When you get to the boring/unpleasant scenes you don’t like, do you fast forward?
🐻: Although we can fast forward and rewind movies/dramas, we can’t rewind life so we need to cherish and live in the moment! For me, when I’m watching them I don’t normally fast fwd or rewind - at most I’ll watch on 1.25x speed! I think a lot of ppl these days like to watch+
+ at increased speeds. I particularly enjoy listening to the bgm in movies and dramas, so when you speed things up you can’t appreciate/enjoy them to the fullest - that’s why I don’t normally speed up when watching
Someone said they don’t usually fast forward on the first watch, only when it’s the 2-3rd watch and Kun said he does that too
Another person said when they see parts they’re not interested in, they’ll fast fwd. For parts they don’t understand they’ll watch at 2x speed and +
+ Kun noted that sometimes important plot happens while we’re fast forwarding through movies/dramas, so it would be a shame to miss out on those details!
~Today’s TMI~
OP said they passed their mandarin exam and have an interview this Saturday bc they want to fulfill their dream to become a doctor
🐻: ahh congrats to passing your exam! Your mandarin skills are pretty good looking at the letter you sent in~ Good luck in achieving +
+ your dreams to becoming a doctor! Stay healthy too~
Next OP said their mom was watching a Turkish drama on her phone w/ English subs even though she’s not fluent in either language and she said she can understand “hello goodbye” and just guesses the rest and OP found it cute+
+ and asked Kun what he’d do if there’s a movie he wants to watch but can’t understand
🐻: these days there are apps that come with CC subs that automatically translate and generate subs, so with those and my basic understanding, I can pretty much guess what’s going on haha
🐻: when I’m watching music producing/arrangement videos on yotube that are in English, my english isn’t that good but there are auto subs that I’ll look at to learn~
(T/N: oh no LOLL sometimes those subs are terrible 😂)
Now playing “Thank You” by JUNNY
(T/N: omfg I was literally just thinking about sending this song in as a listener recommendation the other day…🤯 it’s sooo good <3)
LOL when they were about to start Kun said he got a text that Zhuama hadn’t arrived yet - ZM said it wasn’t parking related bc she actually hailed a car here bc she wanted to show up earlier and the driver took forever driving around in circles 🥲
🐻: do u fast forward when u watch movies?
👩🏻: not typically, but when I’m watching those funny shows for entertainment I might watch in 2x hbu?
🐻: when I watch ur vids explaining movies/dramas I’ll go 2x 😂
👩🏻: hahah me too sometimes I believe I’ll speak that fast too
🐻: normally I don’t though haha unless I’ve already watched it once, then I’ll watch it at faster speeds
Zhuama said she chose this movie bc it’s starring Son Yejin and Hyun Bin (T/N: they recently got engaged 🥺)
🐻: shall we negotiate who to invite on akseo next Tuesday as a guest? 😆
👩🏻: hahaha noooo it’s okay 😂
They talked about the 2020 hit drama Crash Landing On You (also starring both of them)
👩🏻: I watched that drama and really loved their chemistry…who knew…I didn’t expect them to get engaged!
🐻: who knew they’d be getting married~
Per usual, I won’t go too deep into the details in case you want to watch it yourself (unless it’s needed for conversation context), but the basic premise is Hyunbin is the villain holding people hostage and Yejin is the main negotiator with the police
🐻: Knowing how to converse is a very good skill. Do you have any experience with negotiating to reach ur goal?
👩🏻: yes, for example to save my job 😂 I think speaking skills are very important
Now they’re talking about how negotiation is really important in life too like mitigating crises/issues. Kun asked Zhuama for examples and she was like “since I work at akseo, everyone here is great there are no issues 😀” LMAOO ZM needs to keep the bills paid and lights on 😂
🐻: Zhuama is always on the brink of getting fired LMAO only saved by her sweet talking 😂 (kidding)
Kun also noted how a lot of negotiations in movies always ask to meet the most important person/figure along with their list of demands
Haha brief intermission for a short Chinese lesson 😂
The phrase they use for flattery/sweet talking is “拍马屁” which literally translates to “slap horse fart” so someone in the comments was like is the “ma” in Zhuama the same as the “ma” in 拍马屁 (pai ma pi) 😭 LMAOO
🐻: why did hyun bin insist that son yejin negotiate with him? Is it because he knew they were going to get married in real life? Haha kidding 😆
👩🏻: hahah maybe he predicted his future 😂
Zhuama said she rly likes movies like this and the highlight was hyunbin’s acting because he always had the “handsome guy” image in previous roles
Kun said we don’t often find ourselves in dangerous situations like these and ZM asked him what he’d do if he was every stuck in a hostage situation and Kun said he’d shout “Listen to baibai” (T/N: i think this is like a skit/meme or something like that lmao)
🐻: okay~ you worked hard today Zhuama! Don’t be late next time 😂
👩🏻: you worked hard~ haha
🐻: really because of Zhuama, I read soooo many comments at the beginning to stall for time so she had enough time to get here hahaha 😂
~reading listener comments from earlier~
Someone said sometimes when the actors are rly pretty/handsome they’ll turn off audio and just look at their faces
🐻: ?????? Eh??? What is this how can u do this 😂
Someone else said they watch at faster speeds to finish 20 episode dramas in a single day
🐻: LOLL I do this too sometimes that’s how I watched “Hellbound” in a night 😂 I started out at normal speed and then began to watch at faster speeds towards the end
Someone else said they won’t watch dramas on apps that don’t have 3x speed and Kun was like “why are u so in a hurry what’s the rush haha take it slow 😂”
Another listener said if it’s a boring part they’ll look at the live comments bc there will be interesting comments there
🐻: won’t ppl spoil in the comments? That’s one of my pet peeves I hate when ppl give spoilers haha that’s my small request - don’t spoil in the comments!
🐻: Our program is coming to an end today! Thank you everyone for participating~ Lastly, I want to recommend a song, which is Hyun Bin’s “The man”. See you tomorrow~ bye bye!
~broadcast end~
Now playing “The man” by HYUN BIN (Secret Garden OST)
~opening~
🐻: Trust is like a piece of paper - if it get’s wrinkled/creased it won’t be able to go back to it’s original state. So don’t kid around with your credibility! If you lost it, it will be hard to gain back
(T/N: again, this is generic advice in the script)
Now playing “The Only” by Raiden ft. IRENE of Red Velvet

~opening~
🐻: To complete a long journey in certain period of time, how much distance is suitable to cover each day? If you sprint full speed ahead everyday, u might run out of energy halfway through. To make it to the end on time, you need to plan out your daily pace to get far!
Now playing “Hold Me Close” by Sam Feldt ft. Ella Henderson
~opening~
🐻: life is like playing chess - u need to be composed to win the game. The more frantically u do things, the more chaotic ur mind is and the results will be too. Like they say, to be organized you need to eat your meal one bite at a time, do things one thing at a time
