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?

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. 😅

Okay KBS you have my attention.....

Slice-of-life K-dramas...

I don't need K-dramas with pyrotechnics, gore or car chases (although I enjoy those, too). Sometimes, all I want is a good slice-of-life show, where all the characters are busybodies who are in each others' business — for better or worse.

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

A Wonderful Day to Be a Dog Review: Cha Eun Woo and Park Gyu Young star in this comedy about the furries and furies of a cursed person.

Park Gyu Young, Cha Eun Woo, and Lee Hyun Woo feature in the fantasy romcom A Good Day To Be A Dog. A Good Day to be a Dog is a fantasy romcom based on author Lee Hye's webtoon of the same name. It stars Park Gyu Young, Cha Eun Woo, and Lee Hyun Woo. The drama premiered on October 11, 2023, and will run until the first week of January 2024. For overseas audiences, the drama is available on Viki and Viu.

Physical intimacy is an important component of dating, but what if it is the source of conflict in your relationship? Park Hae Na has been afflicted by it her entire life. So much so that she is being chastised by her friends and colleagues for never kissing her boyfriends. However, she is unable to explain why. What is she going to say? "Oh, I turn into a dog when I kiss because of an ancestral curse." People will think she's insane. Hae Na is in a bad way. She is now a homeroom teacher at a high school known as the BUKC, or Breaking Up Kissing Couples. She has a crush on fellow history teacher Mr Lee Bo Gyeon and kisses him one fateful night. Except it's Mr Jin Seon Woo, another teacher at the school who is cold and aloof to Hae Na. Hae Na's curse can be broken only if she kisses the same person again, but this time in her dog form. She tries to kiss Mr Jin in her dog form, but as luck would have it, Mr Jin is terrified of dogs. His apprehension derives from a bullying experience when he was younger. All of this is revealed in the two episodes that have already broadcast. We also witness where Hae Na's family curse began. There were flashbacks to the past, specifically to 1592, when the entire incident occurred. Mr Lee also mentions in one of his seminars that he wishes he could go back to that year and change history. In keeping with the show's lighthearted tone, we see Hae Na in awkward circumstances that are sure to make you laugh. Park Hae Na, Par Gyu Young's character, is like any other 20-something lady attempting to make her own way in life by dating and meeting new people. But that dreadful curse! She is bubbly and cheery, yet she is also determined. We watch Hae Na, like every female star in a romcom, getting herself into hilariously awkward situations all the time. Lee Hyun Woo's character Lee Bo Gyeom is the sort that you will like right away. The audience, like the students in the play, is bound to develop a crush on him soon (if they haven't already!) Jin Seo Woo, played by Cha Eun Woo, is a typical tsundere character. Why? Let's see what happens - 1. He is aloof. 2. He rarely expresses emotion. 3. Among all of his coworkers, he is only close to Bo Gyeom. 4. He never smiles. Hae Na even commented that Seo Woo's only smile was a small upturn of his lips. Such fantasy tales with a curse and a connection between the leads' ancestors are highly entertaining to see. It gives you much to ponder about, theorize about, and fawn over at the same time! The primary characters, supporting characters, and plot of the story are all introduced in the first two episodes. The new soundtrack and sound effects sprinkled throughout the drama contribute to the vitality of each moment. The one-hour length of each episode perfectly encapsulates the tale. A Good Day to Be a Dog is a fun approach to beat the mid-week blues.

(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.

It has occured to me that since I got into k-drama, my top favourites have all had one-word titles (well in English anyway):

Signal

Awaken

Trolley

Mine (I haven't finished this yet, but I am definitely at the point where I am confident it's amongst my favourites)

There are others I've enjoyed a great deal that don't have one-word titles (Extradorinary Attorney Woo, Move to Heaven and Witch's Court) but yeah, that list are all my favourites and they all have one-word titles. Whether that means something or not remains to be seen I guess

[cartoonfangirl1218]

So I was thinking, the Us/UK/AUS have soap operas, Latin America has telenovelas, Koreans have K-dramas, I was wondering are there any other culturally specific yet similar tv genre that has those deliciously dramatic tropes and crazy plots these genres have?
