do you have any cute jeong guwon headcanons?

(i'm dying over the little smile he makes when he gets to eat cake)

❝ 👹 — lady l: It's very short, but I hope you like it! And yes, that smile... 👀😧

❝tw: none, just fluff.

❝👹pairing: soft yandere!jeong gu-won x gender neutral!reader.

Jeong Gu-Won may seem like a cold and insensitive guy/demon and that's true, but only to people he doesn't like or know because to you he's a big softie and totally clingy.

He's completely clingy. He hates it when you have to get out of bed and leave him because he wants to cling to you and never leave your embrace. He definitely tries to convince you not to work/study. He has enough money to support you, so why not cuddle with him?

He loves going out with you, taking you on dates and just being close to you. His smile convinces you easily because of how adorable he looks when he's like that for you.

Gu-Won is always keeping an eye on you, in a friendly way of course. His hard gaze softens and there could even be hearts in his eyes, like an emoji, of how in love he is with you.

He loves to hug you! Lots of hugs, from behind, side and front! Any opportunity he gets to hold you in his arms, he will do so immediately. He also likes to put his head in the crook of your neck and smell you.

Gu-Won is always spoiling you and if you like sweets, especially cake, as much as he does, you can be sure that you will never miss them at home. His smile when he eats cake or when he sees you happy are absolutely adorable.

It may seem controversial, but I think he would want to wear couples' clothes. Maybe something not so in-your-face, but a matching blouse or even matching accessories. Maybe even tattoos. Everything to feel closer to you.

He will definitely give you nicknames, some strange and others more loving. Maybe jagiya or something more sappy, but he likes it, one more way to show his immeasurable affection for you.

Gu-Won gets jealous very easily and will make faces, act like a child. In addition to using his powers against those who made him jealous. It could be something harmless or something more... Definite, but he gets clingier than ever when he's jealous.

He loves you, very much. Jeong Gu-Won never thought that he could love someone so much, that he could let himself be carried away by human feelings, but he did it and he couldn't be happier. Because he met you. You are his and he is yours. Plus, he's adorable, isn't he?

Hi, how are you?

I want to ask you about T.O.P if you don’t mind.

Out of curiosity, I know that not knowing him personally is a plus, but What makes him a complex person that his relationships fail?

Trauma from childhood, lacking close relationship with his father, heavy drinking (alcohol ofc) his personality's type, being a scorpio (tee hee, jk yall ) his leaning towards men over women, and overall his maturity.

Idk if you're new or an OG VIP / fan but its always been said repeatedly by the other bigbang members that he is very youthful, young, and childlike maturity wise depsite being the oldest. Also fame. There are many factors. He likes younger girls too like 18+ so the age gaps will always cause his relaitonships to fail.

Before you make recommendations: Note that I only watch completed series or ones that will finish within a few days (by the time I get to the end...) I don't enjoy tons of procedural episodes, but workplace romance is OK.

I've recently enjoyed Love Next Door, Fight For My Way, My Holo Love, Castaway Diva, King Eternal Monarch, Queen of Tears, My Sweet Mobster, Lovely Runner, Twinkling Watermelon, Business Proposal, The Secret Life of My Secretary, Because This Is My First Life, and The Midnight Studio.

Some of my all-time favorites include Crash Landing On You, Extra-ordinary You, W: Two Worlds, Doom At Your Service, WWWSK, and Destined With You.

Does anyone know this drama? 🐍

I am briefly breaking my Tumblr hiatus to ask if anyone can help my friend track down an Asian drama they were watching but never got to see the end of. It's... a bit of a challenge.

They watched it in the late '00s, probably around 2008 (give or take a couple years). It had a married couple where the wife can turn into a snake (possibly on contact with water?) and her husband doesn't know, and is suspicious that she's cheating on him because she keeps disappearing. At one point, he boops her nose and it's cute. At one point they are on a houseboat (or something comparable) and she has to hide from him by sliding over the side into the water. Also, Snake Girl and husband might have been the B romance, not the main characters.

This is everything they could tell me about the show's content.

I have Googled furiously. I have been through every drama on mydramalist with "snake" as a tag. I have sent them the popular Legend of the White Snake derivatives from that era (2001, 2006), and they have watched and said it's not those.

Also, they don't remember what language it was in. It might have been Chinese, South Korean, or something else, as they watched dramas from a variety of sources.

Does anyone have ANY guess as to what this show might have been, or suggestions for where/how else to search for it? I'm completely out of ideas. 😅

히어로는 아닙니다만: The atypical family (2024).

— dir. Jo Hyun-taek.

Okay KBS you have my attention.....

[goawaywithjae]

As the 2024 Olympics continue in Paris, it’s the perfect time to delve into K-dramas with Olympics-related storylines — and there are many, including some that explore Korea’s fascinating history with the Olympic Games.

In 1988, Seoul hosted its first ever Olympics. In the K-drama Reply 1988, high school student Deok-seon (portrayed by Lee Hye-ri) is selected to be a picket girl — one of the pretty young women carrying the banners of the participating countries — for Madagascar. A middle child overshadowed by her siblings, Deok-seon’s hopes are dashed when Madagascar pulls out of the Games. But the first episode finishes with a satisfying ending: Deok-seon gets her moment in the spotlight after Olympic organizers have her lead the Ugandan team instead.

Maybe this will make me sound like and ungrateful loser, but sometimes subtext hits different than canon relationships I type this with Passing (2021 and book, 1929) and Glitch (2022) in mind

(L/N) (Y/N),

It's strange for me, a being of darkness, to dive into this ocean of feelings that I didn't know about until I felt the flame of your presence. Mortals say demons have no hearts, but your existence defied everything I thought I knew. How can I explain the inexplicable? Your light penetrated the shadows that inhabited my essence, awakening a heat that I believed was extinct.

In my endless days, I wandered through the darkness, not knowing what it was like to long for something that would transcend the eternal pain that is inherent in us. However, since your delicate steps crossed my path, something in me awakened. It was not a gentle awakening like the sunrise, but a violent explosion of long-dormant emotions.

Your eyes, reflections of paradise, penetrated my soul and made me question centuries of convictions. Your every smile is like a heavenly melody that echoes in the darkness of my being, awakening a symphony of previously unknown sensations.

Despite my dark nature, I long to be close to you, to feel your presence, even if it means burning myself in the burning flames of your love. With every beat of my demonic heart, I whisper your name, trying to understand what this overwhelming feeling that consumes me means.

Accept this paradox of a demon who dares to love a human soul, because, as strange as it may seem, you are the light in my darkness, the hope in my world of shadows.

Yours sincerely,

Jeong Gu-Won.

The way it has been taking me ALL DAY to watch Ep. 5 of Kokdu: Season of Deity because of my acute second-hand embarrassment for every single character in this show

[topconfessions]

/that/ 2020 ig live popped up on my youtube recommendations yesterday and it has a few recent comments on it and 😵‍💫 that honestly seems like a nightmare for new gen top stans. roman empire if you will. i can't believe some people weren't there to experience his drunken, mess looking self ramble gibberish for 15 straight minutes on real time......#traumatizing how did no one force him to turn the live off i wonder

EXACTLY! CHILE.....

But thats the thing. He isolated a lot and when he wasnt isolating, he didn't have those type of "hey man you should stop" kinda friends around him. This is why I cant bring myself to watch squid game cause while I'm so happy he is getting new fans, they wont have the experience of being there when he was at his lowest then at his most embarassing then out for a while, the whole rollercoaster.

I can't put it into words but its unnerving to say the least.
