#반짝이는

[thefoamofthedays]

There’s no scale to compare who’s hurting more. There’s no judge to determine that, either. No one has the right to judge someone else’s pain. You’re not obligated to be acknowledged, either. Just… If you’re hurting, you’re hurting. And only you know how much you’re hurting. I won’t force you to be happy. I won’t measure who’s unhappier with you, either. […] And if you’re able to shine on your own again, I want you to shine with all your might.

so, stay alive | By Nevi Ayu E.

다들 그냥 살아. 의미를 붙여가면서, 의미를 찾아가면서, 정신 승리 오지게 하면서. 대단해지려고 너무 용쓸 필요 없어 살아내는 것만으로도 이미 대단한거니까. 근데 혹시 모르잖아, 그리고 궁금 하잖아 아직 긁지 않은 복권 뒤에 어떤 행운이 숨어 이쓸지. 또 어떤 이야기들이 남아 이쓸지.

Dialogue from Korean drama Twinkling Watermelon (2023) episode 10, written by Jin Soowan.

This dialogue aligns with a repeated dialogue I liked in Tomorrow (2022) where they go: There will come a time when you will realise "It was all for today."

My favorite dramas of 2023

Honorable mention: Death Games which is still in release, so I won't include it here yet.

Alchemy of Souls Light and Shadow: As it ended this year I will include one of the biggest obsessions for me in recent years, it was a sublime experience following this drama and despite some unnecessary complaints regarding Go Younjung (who was not to blame for anything and that the hate and misogyny towards a new actress was very unfair) part 2 was a good conclusion to the story, perhaps if there had been more episodes and less insistence on the memory loss plot, and more screen time for the main couple who were the more charismatic characters that supported the plot alone, could have been even better.

Moving: The best drama released this year.

Moving is a story that is not just about the power of a superhero saving the homeland, but about family ties, friendship and companionship.

The story manages to make you relate to the characters with all their anguish, joys and despite them having unusual powers, they are believable and identifiable characters.

Everything in this drama was perfect, from the script, cast, photography, CGI, soundtrack, etc.

Twinkling Watermelon: I love watching stories that focus on family relationships, and one where we have a son going back to the past and meeting his own parents in his youth would definitely be a hit.

I liked how they approached music, art and sign language in this story and how relationships built from these shared experiences between people can change someone's destiny to live life better and enjoy it even with difficulties along the way.

Some things bothered me but nothing that took away the shine of the story for me.  It was exciting to follow the journey of such charismatic characters.

Daily Dose of Sunshine: This drama deserved more recognition.  The way he portrayed mental health was very sensitive and human.  The actors were incredible, especially Park Bo Young who delivered a believable and emotional character.

My Journey to You: The most anticipated drama for me this year did not disappoint despite the open ending.

I believe that the entire story was so incredible and well executed that the ending didn't interfere with the watching experience.

The highlight of this cdrama was the female characters, I thought that even though most of them were spies/assassins they were very diverse, each one with a motivation and past that made them neither good or bad but rather human and complex.

Till The End Of The Moon: I confess that I expected to love this one more.  I don't know if I created many expectations that were broken by the dream part, which I found exhausting and broke the rhythm of the drama for me.  But it was still very striking, an iconic and well-executed enemies to lovers.  The main couple had a lot of chemistry and both as solo characters supported the story itself.  Tantai Jin was incredible and complex👉🏻 simply the most suffering demon I've ever seen

The Glory: I had high expectations regarding this drama, which were met and I believe that waiting to watch it after releasing all the episodes was the best option, because this way it didn't end up breaking the rhythm of the story and I could appreciate the way it was conducted revenge unlike some.

It's the first time I've watched something by Song Hye Kyo and I was positively surprised, she's a great actress.

The Good Bad Mother: I love stories focused on the relationship between mother and child, because even though it is different from my reality because I live on another continent, I can still relate to some issues that are universal.

The highlight of this drama was the performances and the cast's great rapport.  If the ending hadn't been so rushed and there had been about 2 more episodes, it would have closed the story perfectly.

King the Land: This was the best romcom of the year for me.  I looked forward to the weekends so I could be graced by the smiling couple.  It was the cliché and comfort I needed after a stressful week of work.

I loved the vibe and lightness of old dramas that King the Land brought back.

And thankfully they avoided the murder plot in the middle of the story haha

I loved seeing Yoona doing an unpretentious romcom after a heavier drama like her previous one.

Doona: I confess that I was very involved in this drama, I don't think it was perfect but there was a lot of dedication and envolviment from the main couple, they had a lot of chemistry and the melancholy and uncertainty that the story brought really impacted me.

六星燈蛾 (Zygaena filipendulae) by ©skondal

雌蛾及雄蛾的外觀相似，展翅為3-4厘米。前翅是深金屬綠色，其上有6個很明顯的紅點。有一些的斑點會是黃色或甚至是黑色的。後翅是紅色的，邊緣黑色。成蟲會於6月至8月炎熱及陽光普照的日子飛行，多種的花朵也可以吸引它們，如矢車菊及山蘿蔔。百脈根及三葉草是幼蟲的食物。它們會在幼蟲階段過冬。

六星燈蛾的幼蟲略胖及有毛，一般為淡綠色及有黑色斑點。它們會在葉子上結蛹。

@skondal ♫ ◠‿◠ In fact, I love this one your photography since the day you posted it, but I didn't feel the right feeling of mine, so I was waiting for and I do listen this song last night when I was coloring leather works, the song name : "반짝이는 그대여 閃耀的你" ~ just this feeling for your 六星燈蛾 (Zygaena filipendulae).

Why?

我愛蛾它的色彩融於大自然裡，但仍舊閃耀，並且和諧的與花兒同駐，她靜靜地，不想飛，很沉穩的色彩和構圖，平衡之美!

I love moths whose colors blend into nature, but still shine, and stay harmoniously with the flowers, she is quiet and does not want to fly, very calm colors and composition, the beauty of balance! Beautiful!!! Thank you! Lan~*

기나 긴 하루 겨우 지나 왔나요

무슨 일 있나요 안쓰러보여

어떤 말로도 그댈 위로 할 순 없겠지만

안아주고 싶어

그대여 괜찮아요

울고 싶어 질 때면

내게 기대어서 울어요

애써 참기만 하다가 깨지지 말아요

반짝이는 그대여

어쩌다 잔잔한 하루를 만난대도

편안한 마음도 가질 수 없겠죠

그대 발 걸음 조금은 가볍게 내 딛어봐요

걱정 하지마요

그대여 괜찮아요

울고 싶어 질 때면

내게 기대어서 울어요

애써 참기만 하다가 깨지지 말아요

반짝이는 그대여

이 세상에 그대 보다 소중한 건 없어

상상했던 모든 순간 보다 더

그대가 더 빛나요

무너지고 아팠었던

그대 모든 날들을

내가 감싸주고 지킬게요

어두운 길을 지나도 겁먹지 말아요

반짝이는 그대여

이젠 웃어도 돼요

the individual posters of Twinkling Watermelon are so refreshing and bring us the feeling of youth and bonds that are the greatest virtue of the drama.
