RE: The Search for Snow (Part 1 of 9)

I was getting so confused til i got to the bit where they greeted each other and thought okay let's try reversing and suddenly that made more sense. Okay well fine then! XD And jumping to the bottom confirmed my suspicions. Are you going all Pulp Fiction on us then? :)

I love the bit where they both agreed fate was dumb. Fate's gonna get 'em for that I reckon.

Ha! I should've known I couldn't fool you, mate! The whole reversal thing is a commentary about things not being as cut and dry as it seems, and that there are more ways than one way to look at situations. Even though we could dismiss that one thing (or one side) is wrong right away, it doesn't mean that it doesn't have its own side. This was inspired by the conflict between North Korea and South Korea, but when I was replying to @dreemit I found out that there's an ancient Joseon (old Korean dynasty) folktale that involves.... two brothers!! With one wealthier than the other. Crazy coincidence, huh? For all my intentional experiments here, I did not intend for that. I guess conflict between "brothers" is ingrained in Korean culture.

Yes, I'm going all Pulp Fiction on everyone hahaha! Will Fate get 'em? We'll see. Better them than us, right?

Thisone wasn't too bad, I sense I'm going to get stuffed by the next one or perhaps one of the other future ones though XD

That is pretty coincidental :D Though not terribly surprising, it seems to be a fairly common trope. The real question is, did you subconsciously tap into the collective Korean subconscious to somehow independently come up with a modern version of the same story without knowing of the existence of the ancient folktale? That would be trippy XD

Probably better them than us yes, if this thing goes the way of Pulp Fiction XD

I don't want to give anything away, but this isn't like the collection I made for Singapore. I wouldn't want to be predictable now, do I? Do I!?

I do agree with you that I may have inadvertently tapped into their collective consciousness. I feel like my daily intake of kimchi helped. I have even started speaking common phrases without any guide when I was there!

I don't know about you, but I feel like being on the standing side of a trunk shot if this does go Tarantino.
