/너무 좋았던 장면. 찐 사랑.

What I’m Watching April 2021

A quick review of what I’m watching right now. 

SPACE SWEEPERS From: Korea Airing On: Netflix Description: After losing his daughter a former Not-A-Stormtrooper-Please-Don’t-Sue-Us-Disney winds up collecting space trash with a misfit crew of angry, damaged people (and a robot)... and then a kid who is being hunted by an angry white man shows up and teaches them the meaning Ohana. 

My Thoughts: Wait... that wasn’t the plot? There was something about white male privilege and corporations destroying the planet and unions = good? I vaguely remember that. 

The storyline is very basic and simple because they were aiming for a large, international audience and I respect that. It has pretty colors, the underdog wins, and lots of things explode. 

I liked it. 

THE LONG BALLAD From: China Airing On: Viki  Description: Princess of a murdered family dresses as a man and commits treason against her evil uncle to get revenge (not to be confused with RIVER WHERE THE MOON RISES where the princess of a murdered family becomes an assassin and plots revenge). Also... young hot dude with braids and good soccer skills. This is plot relevant. 

My Thoughts: Love it! 

I’m a fan of Dilraba and have been planning to watch it. I binged all the episodes that were out and I will binge again. I would have cast someone slightly older for Dilraba’s love interest, but it’s fine. No one asked me (If someone at Tencent Video wants to involve me in the hiring process I would do that for cheap. Please call me). 

There’s fight scenes, palace intrigue, buildings burning down, and a ball game that involves flying braids and significant glances around masks. I haven’t read the manhua so I have no opinions going into this, if you’ve read the manhua I’ve gathered from the comments that you need to brace for adaptation. 

Overall... I don’t know if I’ll get any of my ships to sail but I will enjoy this while it airs. 

RIVER WHERE THE MOON RISES From: Korea Airing On: Viki Description: Princess of murdered family finds a new life as an assassin and plots to take revenge (not to be confused with THE LONG BALLAD where the princess of a murdered family finds a new life as a general and plot to take revenge). 

My Thoughts: I love Kim So Hyun and the opening was great. Then there was a whole scandal and I put the drama down and now I need to go back. It looks promising (and stressful... and I’m avoiding stressful just right now). 

I expect this will be great. 

GO GO SQUID 2: Dt. Appledog’s Time  From: China Airing On: Viki Description: The romance between DT (Wu Bai played by Hu Yi Tian) and Appledog (Li Yi Tong) is explored. 

My Thoughts: Proof that Hu Yi Tian was not hired to just show up and smile longingly at Appledog during GO GO SQUID... it’s fine. I didn’t find Go Go Squid as engaging as some of the other computer-competition themed dramas and I was confused when GGS2 jumped back in time. 

I thought I wanted low stakes, and this is low stakes, but it turns out I really just wanted to see Wu Bai kiss someone and IT IS TAKING FOREVER!!! I already watched one show of him being madly in love with this woman. Can we just skip to the cute domestic fluff and passionate kisses? Or, you know, some what boring kisses since there are censors? 

I will eventually finish this. 

VINCENZO From: Korea Airing On: Netflix Description: Adopted by an Italian family Vincenzo is a mafia lawyer and fixer whose Korean heritage means he doesn’t get the respect he deserves. After his adopted father dies he heads back to Korea to take back a fortune of hidden gold... and runs into trouble.

My Thoughts: <insert screaming here> I have fewer thoughts and more just... screaming. Lots of screaming. My gosh, I need this to finish so I can make sure the ending is okay, because this show is making me TENSE. 

The cast is fantastic. The pacing is great. The writing is good. The fights scene might win awards but I. AM. SO. STRESSED.  Just let this poor man have his gold and his beautiful work-wife and stop trying to kill him! AHHH!!! AHHHH!!!

I will finish this once I know there isn’t a tragic ending. 

HELLO ME From: Korea Airing On: Netflix Description: A slice of life with a twist... after a run in with an actor and a kid with bad allergies Ha-Ni finds herself in jail and about to be fired. After a traffic accident similar to the one that killed her father twenty years ago he 17yo-self appears in the hospital with her and she’s stuck trying to navigate life as she lives up to her old expectations.

My Thoughts: I picked this up because I wanted something low stakes and this is suiting my need for low stakes. I find myself fast-forwarding through it a lot but there are genuinely funny moments that made me laugh out loud and a good story. Ha-Ni is the former popular girl whose life fell apart when one poor choice at 17 left her blaming herself for her father’s death (her mother and sister blame her too). She lost her confidence, friends, and drive and this is about picking up the pieces. 

Everyone in the show has regrets about past choices. That’s the theme. There’s a light romance, a corporate takeover, and supernatural silliness but really the question is: What would your child-self think of your life now and what would you do if you could change your past? 

There’s two episodes left to air and I’m hoping for a happy ending. We’ll see. 

[mel-loves-kdramas]

At this moment, I sincerely wish that this sunny and happy young man can continue to hack through brambles and thorns and not encounter any setbacks until … he fills the dreams that my generation could not.

You know what? I will watch a messy plotted out romantic drama if the leads are nice to each other.

#CoupleTypeOfHangout – Drama Couples Only💞

This post will highlight some of my favourite recent couple shoots from both Korean and Chinese drama leads. (Please Note: none of these images are mine. I got them from official magazine websites and social media sites.) First on this list is Kim Rae-won and Lee Da-hee for 1st Look Korea. Both actors recently starred in L.U.C.A: The Beginning – a 2021 science fiction series. I’ve heard many…

[dramatrashh]

the difference between what they’re living in this scene is so big and so heart-aching for some reason. she just got defeated by a rookie, while he is finally standing at the same level as the person he’s liked for 7 years, he is finally standing next to her after 7 long years. and i can’t even begin to imagine how his heart must be beating so fast from excitement and maybe aching a little just from the sight of her so close to him; while hers must be beating from disappointment and bitterness.

and right then the song went “if you could see it with my eyes”  and my heart went AAAHH

Has anybody watched Go Go Squid 2: DT AppleDog’s time?

I want to watch it for HYT but the first few eps were so slow paced and AppleDog and her personality have changed. My issue is that a lot of cdramas nowadays are all fluff, with lots of fillers and no plot

Go Go Squid 2 - DT. Appledog’s Time is a spin-off of the 2019 Chinese drama Go Go Squid. DT. Appledog’s time is the story of two esports professionals Wu Bai and Ai Qing who fall in love. Wu Bai fell in love at first sight with Ai Qing when he watched her competing in a robot combat competition. He followed her into the industry and became famous as well. Years later Ai Qing met Wu Bai at a robot combat competition and became interested in him after he helped her and defeated her. They later separated and when they met again three years later Wu Bai confessed his feelings for Ai Qing. Ai Qing experienced a bad breakup in the past and feels that a relationship with Wu Bai will affect her career. She rejects him but Wu Bai is determined to be in her life and for them to rise together to the top of the robot combat competition world. They each have the dream of winning the world championship for China and developing the robotics industry. DT. Appledog’s Time has a happy ending and stars Hu Yi Tian as Wu Bai (DT) and Li Yi Tong as Ai Qing (Appledog).

영화 보고 화딱지 나서 아까 보던 드라마를 캡쳐. 현생 살기도 힘든데 문화생활 하면서까지 스트레스를 받아야 한다니. 요건 ‘사랑할 자격을 얻기 위해서’라는 대사가 너무 찡해서. 맞다고요. 사랑하는 데도 자격이 있어야 함.

얼마 전에 핀터레스트 눈팅 하다 그런 짤이 있더라. 어떤 여자 유튜버 분이 방송 중에 말한 걸 캡쳐한 것. ‘남자분들. 여자들 꼬시는 거 진짜 쉽다. 자기한테 잘 해주는 사람? 평생 못 잊는다. 잘생긴 거 다 필요 없다.’

진짜 난 이 말이 무슨 의민지 알 것 같다. 그런 의미에서 제 남자친구가 최고죠. 승자는 정해져 있었다!

아무리 잘난 조건인 사람들이 나 좋다고 해도 나 힘들 때 멀뚱히 있었다는 사실만큼이나 시간 지나고 나니 배신감 들고 회의감 느끼는 게 없다. 너흰 대체 나 좋다면서 뭘 위해줬냐. 아오, 그런 의미에서 날 싫어했던 사람들이 난 이해가 안 간다. 버릴 것들이 아깝고 감당하기 힘들 것 같다는 이유로 좋아하는 사람한테 제대로 된 고백도 못 해본 사람들이 넘쳐나 혼자 외로워한 게 기쁘고 우쭐할 만한 일인가요? 나한테 다가올 기회가 충분히 있었고 잡을 수도 있었으면서. 지난 세월 돌아보면 현타만 겁나 옵니다. 내 젊은 날을 흘려보낼 가치가 있던 사람은 대체 누가 있었나(=_=) 그렇다고 나 같이 개썅 마이웨이인 사람한테 드러내놓고 고백하거나 무작정 좋아해 주는 건 역효과 나고요? 좋아하는 사람 성향 봐가면서 탈 나지 않게. 언제라도 자기 위해서 뒤에 있어 준 사람을 무시할 수 있는 사람이 어디 있겠나. 아무리 마음에 없던 사람이라도 마음이 생기지. (덧. 앗, 써보니까 뭔가 뉘앙스가 이상하다. 남자친구가 조건이 별로인데 날 위하는 마음 때문에 사귄다, 뭐 이렇게 쓴 것 같잖아?! 전혀 그런 의미로 쓴 거 아닙니다. 똑같이 다 갖춘 조건이라도! 성공할 수 있는 것, 없는 것엔 분명한 기준이 존재한다는 말을 하고 싶었던 것)

이 드라마에서 공감 가는 건 사실 많이 없습니다. 일단 제 남자친구가 순애보 가운데 순애보인 탓에 저밖에 몰라 여자 주인공이 부럽지 않고요. 그리고 내가 남한테 큰 관심이 없어서 누구한테 잘 보이고 싶었던 적이 별로 없고. 꿈이 있는데도 그걸 현실과 타협하는 성격도 아니고. 그냥 어떤 감정 이입 없이, 짝사랑하는 남자 주인공 모습이 풋풋하고 순수해서 보는 듯하다. 아직까진 꽤 재밌네요 :) 저 코드 하나만으로도 설레는 드라마.

[dramabiscuit]

I need me a Zhou Yi/One who cooks for me whenever I ask. But then again I need a Wu Bai too because someone has to pay for the ingredients and I'm broke. And then 97 and Shen Zhe have to be there because they make it fun. I just want to be friends with K&K team ok (also I want the big comfy K&K shirts)

[mel-loves-kdramas]

I always feel like music is the most powerful medium for memories. It defies all the constraints of time and space bringing us back to the past in a flash.

[ezhilmozhi]

Thank you for the recs. I love Noona Romances because the FL's usually have more agency over their lives. And ML also usually isn't a hateful d*ck. They may be bratty but most of the ML's in Noona romances are mature, level-headed and LOVEABLE.

Favorite Noona Romance Recs!

For @fandomwithjoy​

Branching out from BL with some older woman + younger men het romance trash for y’all since this the the third time I’ve been asked. 

From Viki unless otherwise noted. 

You’re My Pet AKA Kimi Wa Petto (Japan) 

You want the 16 ep series version from Japan (not Korea and not the movie). 

Lonely corporate goddess adopts young dancer as her pet. No. Really. Actual pet. And it’s GREAT.

Melancholia (Korea) 

Suspense revenge chassis for a sweet very subtle noona romance between a teacher and her mathematical genius student. He has a crush, she does not. They’re accused of having an affair (to cover up a corruption scandal) and it destroys her life. He sets himself on a path of revenge from that moment on. Grows up, returns to exact it. But he also wants her. It’s really good. I love this one. More suspense than romance, tho.

A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love (Japan) 

Hot tutor takes on a pink-haired high school bad-boy, and oof does he want WAY more than teaching.

Meet Me After School (Japan) 

Ho boy, so if you managed the last one, this one pushes the limits. Amazing sunshine middle school teacher (yes, middle school) sort of rescues an introverted troubled kid. He falls madly in love with her. A familiar face from Cherry Magic plays her boyfriend. But she doesn’t end up with him. Don’t worry there’s an separation while while the middle schooler grows up (and the actor is OLDER), but still… Japan will always push your limits.

Japan also has another one that’s like this only x-rated, but I didn’t like it much so I don’t remember what it’s called. 

Thumping Spike (Korea) 

He is a cocky kid on the high school volleyball team, she is the pro player who’s injured and bumped back to coaching. It’s a battle of wills and jocks. He’s a sarcastic shit but boy does he like her a lot. 

Make a Bow and Kiss (Japan movie) 

If you want manga-style edgy high school creepy sports in your noona wellp, Japan will provide. Younger boy excels at archery is obsessed with older girl in the club… very very obsessed.

Go Go Squid 2: Dt, Appledog’s Time (Mainland China) 

So this is the 2nd installment of China’s epic series (two full runs of 38 episode EACH!) set in the exciting world of… robot fighting. Yep, like those little ones you control with joysticks. Don’t ask. The first series is NOT good. But this one is good. 

She’s the retired star of China’s first major robot warrior team. They broke new ground but her breakup with team captain caused everything to fall apart. He is a brilliant roboticist who has been in love with her from the beginning as a goddess of the field and has been trying to win gold to earn her attention for 10 years. EPIC PINING. FOR MANY EPISODES. He’s very taciturn and super shy and sees only her. She has self worth issues but their age gap isn’t one of them. They just both awkward geeks bad at love. It’s kinda adorable.

Love is Science (Taiwan) 

He’s been in love with her since she rescued him from bullies as a child. When they meet again as adults she doesn’t recognize him and then defaults to older sister mode. He’s a shy sweet hairdresser who struggles to make her understand. 

Bonus! One of the THE BEST BL side plots EVER. And it’s Taiwan so the gay boys got to bring the high heat. 

My Dear Lady (Mainland China) 

He = chairman of a board at a VERY young age. She = returning to work after a terrible break up and years as a housewife. He hires her as his secretary. She = clumsy bunny too pure too good for this world. He = difficult billionaire. This show = total trash. Sometimes, we all need some trash.

My Fated Boy (Mainland China) 

29 episodes of serious angst over the fact that she is 4-6 years (?) older than him. Like literally that’s it. That’s the WHOLE plot. Oh she’s a career girl and he’s an idol, or something but really it’s just the *gasp* age gap! Oh… China.

Something in the Rain (Korea) Netflix 

Okay this is probubly my favorite but man is it rough going in the second half (it ends happily but.. only just). So I tend to rewatch it only up to a point. Still it’s really GREAT. 

He is her best friend’s younger brother. She has a terrible family living situation and little independence apart from her job. Also she’s a good girl who tries to do what’s best for everyone. She has an abusive ex, and is too much of a pushover people-pleaser, and that keeps ruining their relationship and keeping it secret is driving him crazy. But also he grew up with her and he knows what she’s like and he absolutely adores her. The chemistry is fantastic.

OTHERS OF NOTE

Encounter

Rookie Historian

Eternal Love

Oh! My Lady 

Rampant benevolent sexism warning on all these suckers. Except maybe the stuff from Japan and those just *hand wavy* triggers all ‘round.
