Chemistry: 8

Comparable to: Twenty Five, Twenty One (kdrama); Thirty but Seventeen (kdrama)

Total mixed feelings about this. First half, loved. Second half, a huge disappointment dumpster fire. I hate to say the kids in the first two episodes were better then their counterparts/as the adults. Storyline was exciting at first. Loved the whole island bits. I actually wish they explored a tad more with the younger version of Mok Ha (Lee Re) when she was stuck on the island. Honestly even with 12 episodes the story just drag on. Most characters were in my opinion cliche. Didn’t really care for Park Eun Bin’s take (whoever directed her in doing so) on being stuck with emotions of a teenagers personality. It got old very quickly. It didn’t help that both main leads had zero chemistry together either. Overall the whole series started oh my gosh this is great to meh…..

On the 5th of November, nine years ago, Brown Eyed Girls released their sixth studio album, BASIC.

BASIC marks a return to Brown Eyed Girls' edgy, experimental roots. The album combines elements of synth-pop, retro, and electronic sounds, delivering a bold, provocative musical style. Known for pushing boundaries, Brown Eyed Girls explore themes of desire, identity, and empowerment with songs like “Brave New World” and “Warm Hole.” Lyrically and visually, BASIC challenges conventions, pairing complex, mature themes with unique, genre-blending production, solidifying Brown Eyed Girls’ reputation as one of K-pop’s most innovative and fearless groups.

You're still just as gorgeous! You're fine. Maybe in your eyes. I'm pitiful. And pathetic.

That man, Lee Seo-jun. In my eyes, he isn't someone who'd give others opportunities. He's extremely petty. An utter coward! What? You didn't know, did you? You probably didn't, because he always mistreated you. But I can see through him. That scumbag is terrified of you. You don't believe me? Then, see for yourself.

Korean GLs I'd Watch...

Let's try to manifest a world where some of the biggest Korean actresses were cast in major full-length GL kdramas.

COP + CRIMINAL

Esom (Because This Is My First Life) and Lee Da-hee (Search: WWW) play partners and besties, who both fall for their respective suspects for a crime spree against the patriarchy. (Think: Evening the pay gap at a major company; exposing scandals of sexist politicians; and chemically castrating sex offenders). Esom's love interest is Park Eun-bin (Extraordinary Attorney Woo), and Da-hee's love interest is Seo Yea-ji (It's Okay to Not Be Okay). It's a romantic crime thriller.

FRIENDS to LOVERS

Seol In-ah (Business Proposal) plays a new-money rich girl who hires a former old-money rich girl, played by Yoo In-na (Touch Your Heart), to be her personal assistant out of pity, but pretends she doesn't know her backstory. And Yoo helps Seol navigate rich society. Their conflict is that Seol's family bankrupted Yoo's family, and is getting the life Yoo was supposed to have, including the fiancee, the job, and the house. It's a sweet romantic comedy.

BOSS + EMPLOYEE

Kim Ji-won (Fight My Way) starts a job at a family law firm and works hard to get one of the partners, played by Son Ye-jin (Crash Landing on You), to be her mentor, but only because she wants her job. She starts off as a frenemie before Ye-Jin's hard edges rub off, and Ji-won develops a crush. Their obstacles are that Ye-Jin is married and in the closet, and Ji-won might be too ambitious to let go of her goals. It's a slow-burn romantic legal drama.

COOL GIRL + DORK

Park Shin-hye (Heirs & Pinocchio) plays a cold fashion house designer who hires an unlikely candidate to be her muse, played by Moon Ga-young (True Beauty). And what starts off as a toxic relationship blooms into a supportive one. Park Bo-young (Strong Girl Bong-soon) plays her head of design, who befriends Ga-young's bestie-turned-manager, played by Kim Seul-gi (Oh My Ghostess). They're the softer side couple. It's a romantic workplace dramedy.

FRIENDS to ENEMIES to LOVERS

Seo Hyun-jin (Why Her?) and Gong Hyo-jin (When the Camellia Blooms) were friends in college, but they had a falling out after a misunderstanding about a guy. They have a tense reunion as adults when Hyo-jin is setting up her nuptials at the wedding hall Hyun-jin manages. It's a slowburn romantic drama.

ONE-SIDED OBSESSION

Shin Min-a (Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha) plays the wife of a very powerful and abusive man and Hwang Jung-eum (She Was Pretty) plays the maid who is secretly in love with her and helps her escape. They go to Jung-eum's hometown where everyone assumes she's bringing her girlfriend home for the first time, because she didn't have the heart to tell them she got dumped after running away to be with her. Min-a decides to pretend to be the woman to pay her back, and they fall in love. The conflict being when Jung-eum's ex, played by Park Min-young (What's Wrong with Secretary Kim), returns to get her back.

💜 Your move Kdrama world! 💜

It’s an oldie, a humdinger of an oldie too. It’s one of those batsh*it crazy ones, where everyone is dialed up to hundred on melodramatic acid, but it’s so fun to watch. Of coarse you can’t take anything seriously, the storyline is your basic love triangle/marriage contract one. Both main leads have wonderful chemistry together. It does get awfully frustrating though in the middle half going back in forth in the love triangle. The music in this is beautiful I do have to say. It’s a major plus. Love love the ost. I did have a fun time watching this one. Yes there is glaring problems with it and yes it’s hella cliche, but it’s enjoyable especially if you fast forward through some scenes that do get draggy.
