Teresa Agnes - Maze Runner Trilogy

Teresa Agnes in the maze trilogy is probably one of the best character in the book that underappreciated and treated unfairly.

Here is my opinion about Teresa Agnes and let's be real, it doesn't even a romance novel that i dont even want to give a damn about whole Thomas-Teresa or Thomas-Brenda, and if i should say something about the romance part, i just wanna say that Teresa deserved better, period.

As all of you can read on other site, the problem is always lead back to Teresa betrayed Thomas for the sake of protecting his lives, and what is wrong with that?

Let's get to my "Teresa's point of view" that (i hope) will at some point make you think twice on hating her.

Teresa betrayed him for the sake of protecting his life, she do it her own way, that (all of us including me) think that it is too exaggerated in the sake of "betraying him". Imagine you, as Teresa, who is at this point of TST, still didnt have her memories back yet, the girl with only a part of her memories (that she only know that Thomas is her best friend), and think that "WICKED is good" because she did write it on her arm (and don't even know why the hell she wrote that out of everything), and threatened with "betray Thomas or WICKED will kill him", What do you expect to do in your version of Teresa??! My opinion still, although i almost hate her too for this, she couldn't have done it better.

Most of the reader blame her for going to the extend of hitting Thomas and even kissing Aris in front of Thomas, but, most of the reader forget that WICKED analyzed brain-pattern of everyone (and i think she is clever enough to guess it because at some point, her mind get controlled too), not only the brain pattern of Teresa who betrayed him, but also the brain pattern of Thomas who got betrayed. Teresa come in on the maze, i supposed, both as subject and as the variable, the betrayer variable. She did tell him beforehand that something bad will happen and to trust him, and this is where, i think, the unnecessary part of hitting and kissing play the role of betrayal. Do you think after warning Thomas and tell him to trust her, he will fell betrayed without hitting him? NO. Why the kiss necessary? because she kissed Thomas too, and she need to kiss someone else to make it believable to Thomas. Why she didn't tell anyone, go to the extend of the only one hate Thomas and want to kill him even in front of B group? because IT IS BETRAYAL (she know her role), not only for Thomas, but FOR EVERYONE.

She risk everything, and she said it is worth it to risk whatever they had had for the sake of Thomas' life and how can you hate her for it. She asked just for one, to trust her, that no matter what happened, she is on his side. if i want to even compare, Thomas trust Gally back after he killed Chuck (which make him sad for two books), even when he never trusted him before, even he hated him, why he can't just trust Teresa too, who had been her friend since they even lost their memories? ah okay, i know, you guys'd probably say that got betrayed by friends is harder than by enemies. i am so done. but that is not the point, i probably hate that she just have to died 6-7 pages before the ending, like about 15 minutes away from freedom, i expected her to death since book 2 but not like that, no with even a person mourning her, even Thomas haven't forgiven her yet, it is just so unfair. If only Aris is also there with them, he probably save her i think, at least drag her to freedom before her death.. not only Thomas, but most reader hate her too for freaking save Thomas life, like what is wrong with that. I don't mind Thomas hate her, he is there, as a character, that doesn't know her background, and even refuse to remember her, but let's not talk about him, after all, i am just trying to understand Teresa, from my understanding of Teresa's pov. 

Yong Pal

I am thinking so much about what to write in this blog since it has been forever that i am writing again. Life is busy as always, but not with college, just helping in my parent's business here and there, and learning korean from many sources that i got confused by my self.

What finally makes me write again is, of course, as the title goes by, and as you all can guess, it is a drama titled, Yong Pal (용팔이). This drama starred by Joo Won, and (again) his role is a doctor, and genius one at that. Although it is the same doctor role, the personality is different, so i guess, this is yet another challenge for him. It has been two episodes i watched so far (last night, the 3rd one just aired), and it already makes me craving more.

The plot goes by Asianwiki.com :

"Kim Tae-Hyun (Joo Won) is an excellent surgeon, but he is constantly harassed by debt collectors due to his younger sister. His younger sister requires expensive kidney dialysis. To make more money, he goes to see patients privately for a high fee. He doesn't care whether these patients are criminals as long as they can pay him.

Kim Tae-Hyun then meets Yeo-Jin (Kim Tae-Hee) who is in deep sleep in the hospital."

It is too hard to guess where the story will lead us because we still have to meet the female lead who will finally appear at the end of 2nd episode and meet the male lead at third episode. I am thinking to make a recap from this drama, though, but let's see how the story goes first.

The first two episodes gave me a similar vibe of action story drama like healer and it is intriguing to make the avid fans of K-Drama stay longer to expect what to come in the next episodes. This drama has a good rating in Korea too, so i have nothing to say except you must watch it and that is it. Let's enjoy the story first!

The Good News and The "You must know" news

The first post in 2015 and i can't help it when i am reminded of the phrase from Pinocchio. It's a good drama and i love the chemistry of PSY and LJS so much that i'll love to watch it all over again. You can definitely search about it from wikipedia about the drama and what i want to share here is just a bit from that drama.

This phrase came out when they must choose between two news they must report at the time. One is a good one, while the other is a "must know" one. in that drama, a good one is a news for covering the bad guys in the "must know" news, so of course, a good news will make everyone eventually forget about the bad one but the pains remain.

the conversations is just like this

"sir, i have a good news and a bad news for you, which one do you want first?"
"of course, i want to hear the good news"
"the good news is that you got a VIP ticket to watch the big concert at xx (which i know you love it very much)"
"and what is the bad news?"
"i got the result of your health test and it says you have less than 6 months to live."

so, it's like you just got the plot-twist in your live and the happy news will just gave you euphoria for a while before the bad news, that is also a you must know news, comes. The question is for the viewer and the reporter at the same time. the message is that a must know news comes first and the reporter should report it first and no need to go along with the flow with happy news despite the rating. it is what it means in pinochhio.

and why i'm writing this?
yeah, i'm not reporter, and of course, not a good viewer too, i'm writing this just because.
let's see from the different point of view this time.

when the news isn't necessarily about you, how should you react? i mean, if you just got two contradictory news about other person you care about, which one should comes first? will the must know news becomes your very own secret or you will still tell it? you're not reporter, the news doesn't concern everyone but this person, it's the news for the one you care about whose life may changes because this one news, will this phrase from pinocchio be applied here?
