[anotherfanaccount]

Some genuinely good kdramas this year. I have so many left to watch but amongst the ones I did finish here's a review no one asked for.

MARRY MY HUSBAND.....great acting good pacing the thriller aspect done right and a cute ending

DOCTOR SLUMP.......love love lived it. It was funny and heartwarming and the thriller part didn't annoy me. Cutest grownups. A warm cozy drama for your lonely days.

LOVELY RUNNER.....10/10. They really ate with the storyline and the actors and everything. Had me waiting for the episodes and in a hangover for a month.

QUEEN OF TEARS......had me frustrated as hell. But I did enjoy it till the end. A rare drama where the ending is really far better than the whole of the drama. The actors saved this wreck of a story honestly.

THE JUDGE FROM HELL.....10/10. Loved everything. Psh as the demon judge perfect. Kjy as Han Da On perfect. Them serving enemies to lovers perfect. Her killing those ruthless criminals perfect. Would love a sequel and spinoffs whenever they decide to do it.

BREWING LOVE.....cute cute cute. Shipped the mls so hard actually. The cutest one of this year for me.

KNIGHT FLOWER.....discovered ljw here actually. And a genuinely underrated drama. It's funny actually is deep and has a satisfying narrative. Would love a sequel here too.

MR. PLANKTON.......you will laugh so hard and then you'll cry so hard. A lovely drama but I ain't watching it again.

Romance in the house.....have a couple episodes left but this is a good one too. Middle aged romance plus young love. Fun stuff overall.

Atypical Family....super interesting and dope actors. Leaves you sorta hanging but hopeful.

Miss Night and Day......Really really loved the three main leads. And it had a fascinating premise. Fun one.

And WHEN THE PHONE RINGS....Topping the drama lists this late comer. But we'll be ending this in the next year. So more about this next year.

[randomingoftherandomness]

The way Jihyuk's confession is tinged with such sweet sorrow... Let me explain.

I'm probably off base and just. Reading into the acting choices that Na Inwoo is making right now, but like. It's so sad. Like, he's saying it and you as the audience knows he means it, but there's this sense of "ah, but i know she won't actually say yes even if i bare my all to her". And he's doing just that. He's laying it down on the table for her to see that he's absolutely sincere about her and he is 100% sure and serious about her.

But what thrills me to no end about his confession is how he also lays out the boundaries for her without disrespecting himself. He tells her to take her time to think about it but not to reject him outright, and how he won't pressure her or push the issue, and in the next moment actively SHOWS her and articulates to her that he won't be jumping into the same taxi as she is and will be taking the next one.

Jihyuk continuously walks the talk when he tells her she can rely on him. He fulfils his promise to teach her martial arts and gives actionable advice. He is quick to notice (something Jiwon picks up on) that her proposal is getting hijacked and tacitly plays along. Of course, you could argue that him being from the future has already given him insight that the Manager in charge is gonna land himself in hot water, BUT STILL :D

Is it any wonder how he is the greenest green of flags? ;A; Also sidenote, the way Na Inwoo was acting out the confession scene reminded me a lot of this very beloved cinematic moment of mine

And to a slighter degree, it reminded me of the moment where Hua Cheng tells Xie Lian "... I am your most ardent devotee"

i'm gonna go scream into a bed of moss rn

MARRY MY HUSBAND. SEASON 01: CHAPTER 10.

[starcrossed591]

KDrama Year in Review 2024

Only a few KDramas took up residence in my unconscious (looking at you, When the Phone Rings) this year, but looking back, there were a good number that I found pretty solid overall and looked forward to watching every week! I’ve been pretty flexible about genre this year, but since I was getting most of my angst from CDramaland (CDrama Year in Review forthcoming), I tended towards KDramas on the lighter and/or otherwise more restrained side. There’s some flotsam and jetsam to wade through first, but here we go:

Disclaimer: Rankings based on my personal preference, not objective quality

15) Romance in the House (dnf)—Did not even remember I watched this. The premise was meh, the deadbeat dad was unlikeable, and it seemed like they wanted me to root for him to win the mom back (no thank you). Some of the actors were doing their darndest to push through, but it did not work for me at all. Dropped.

14) Marriage Impossible (dnf)—I like the two lead actors, especially Moon Sang Min (I really liked him in Under the Queen’s Umbrella), and they had pretty good chemistry, but they were underserved by the weakness of the script. Dropped before they even got together (alas, the gifs of their first kiss looked like great fun).

13) Cinderella at 2am (dnf)—Interesting first two episodes in which the FL takes the money of chaebol boyfriend’s rich mother in order to break up with him, but then lost all momentum from there. Another miss from Moon Sang Min. Pick better scripts, buddy! Dropped.

12) Love Your Enemy—This rom com is fine I guess? I dropped after about six episodes because there’s too much else on my watch list. The actors playing the two leads in the high school flashbacks were unfortunately much more compelling than the ML and FL as adults, which leaves the whole thing feeling unbalanced. I don’t know if it’s the actors or the script, but this one just did not land for me. Dropped.

11) Serendipity’s Embrace—Finished this mostly inoffensive rom com mostly out of fondness for Kim So Hyun and because nothing else was airing that I wanted to watch. Did not actually like that much, do not recommend unless you don’t have much else to do.

10) Captivating the King—Was very obsessed with this sageuk for the first half. Cross dressing FL out for revenge? Vengeful, unhinged (bisexual) king? Yes please! However, they lost me when the FL who was supposed to be Very Smart kept acting Very Dumb, so I got distracted and never came back to it. I do still adore Cho Jung Seok and it was fun seeing him play a darker role after most recently seeing him in Hospital Playlist, but come on! If you want me to believe your FL is a strategic genius, she has to act like one or have a very good reason why she’s not! Dropped.

9) Love Next Door—Hyped up way too much; totally understand why so many people dropped. Mostly finished out of goodwill for Jung Hae In and Jung So Min, both of whom I adore, and a much more magnetic secondary couple. Was ultimately a mid-tier rom com/family drama, though I probably would have liked it better if my expectations hadn’t been so high. Would still recommend if you have fondness for any of the actors, though.  

OKAY now time for dramas I actually (mostly) liked!

8) Marry My Husband—Very much enjoyed Park Min Young, the rom com queen, in her transmigration revenge era. I liked it more when the SFL and SML were a sort of everyday awful that still managed to be soul sucking before it all took a hard turn into makjang territory, but still really enjoyable overall. I'm also still struck by the scene in which the FL breaks down after her (fake) bestie betrays her for a second time by sleeping with her husband. The feeling of betrayal she felt, even when she basically knew it was coming, was not actually lessened by that foreknowledge, perhaps because of the forlorn hope that maybe her friend *wouldn't* betray her this time around.

7) Queen of Tears—Kim Ji-won and Kim So Hyun were both fantastic in this much anticipated drama, and watching their relationship develop from married couple fully at odds with each other to ride or die partners was excellent. The ensemble cast also featured many of my favorite secondary characters of the year, including himbo brother and devoted daddy played to perfection by Kwak Dong Yeon and unhinged, excon, serial divorcee aunt played by Kim Jung Nan! Unfortunately, there was a little too much plot bloat and some unearned plot twists (amnesia, anyone?) and the episodes were all just too long (Writer Park Ji Eun really, really needs an editor, but I expect no one could tell her No after the success of CLOY). Still a fun ride overall, though!  

6) Tell Me that You Love Me—(Started airing in 2023 but ended in 2024 and wasn’t available to stream in my area until 2024, so I’m counting it!) This quiet, slice of life romance was a very comforting watch for me. I found Mo Eun (Shin Hyun Been) a restful character to watch as she tried to figure out her life while trying to make it as a working actress while also falling in love with Cha Jin Woo, an artist who is also deaf. YMMV re: the ending (and I hear the JDrama it’s based on may be a bit better), but if you want a drama that’s soothing while still grounded, I recommend this one.     

5) My Sweet Mobster—Had no expectations for this drama—in fact, I saw the descriptions and promo material and thought it would be a hard pass for me—but then ended up completely charmed by this goofy rom com that nonetheless took recidivism and the real challenges faced by excons to integrate into society after serving their time very seriously. Honestly, worth checking out just for Uhm Tae Goo as swoon worthy, deep-voiced, former mob boss Seo Ji Hwan—easily my favorite new-to-me actor of the year.   

4) No Gain No Love—Again, I had no expectations for this rom com, but then ended up totally sucked in by Shin Min-A’s performance as Son Hae-Young, a successful career woman who has reached her ceiling promotion-wise at work solely because she is unmarried. Her insistence on not suffering losses even in relationships and her resulting conviction that that insistence made her unlikely to find a partner also struck a chord. My mileage varies with Kim Young Dae, but his turn as the convenience store clerk she convinces to fake-marry her was charming. Rom com tropes follow, some with more success than other, but the pointed critique of the gendered double standard many of the characters face made this one really land for me. Bonus points for Hae-young’s relationship with her two foster sisters, the only two of the many children her mom fostered to stick around.

3) The Midnight Romance at Hagwon—I know a lot of people had high expectations for this one and then dropped it when it wasn’t what they expected, but it ended up being a highlight of the year for me. I came for Wi Ha Joon in a romance, and stayed for the unexpectedly earnest commentary on what education is actually for, especially when it has turned into teaching children how best to win at taking a test. When the first big fight between the FL and ML was a yelling match about a pedagogical disagreement on the best way to teach literature, I was a goner. The thought of a former student showing back up in my life to seduce me at my place of work irl gives me hives, but I honestly loved this drama so much. Highly, highly recommend.

2) When the Phone Rings—I know I’m being premature by putting this drama so high on my list when it hasn’t yet concluded, but I CAN’T HELP IT, SUE ME. I’m so obsessed with this drama, it has taken over my dreams. Hong Hee Joo and Baek Sa-eon’s messy relationship is so, so fun, and I’m rooting for them so much. I do sometimes see the twists coming in this makjang thriller romance, but am still surprised often enough to keep me on my toes. Also, more red flag heroes please, Baek Sa-eon is so so fun when he’s being little extra unhinged.

1) Lovely Runner—Im Sol and Ryu Sun Jae had my whole heart for the entirety of this drama’s run. This is another one where the premise did not originally appeal to me—Im Sol going back in time to save her idol from dying is not at all sexy to me—but it’s another one where it took so many twists and turns that a non-spoiler description just can’t do it justice. Sol and Sun Jae had such good chemistry and were so ride or die for each other. I honestly loved that (spoiler) you go in thinking that Im Sol’s love for Sun Jae, just to learn that Sun Jae fell for her both first and much, much harder. Im Sol’s time travel shenanigans were never totally explained, but I’m just fine leaving it all a little timey wimey because I loved the journey so much.

Favorite Female Character: Look, I love a KDrama Lost Girl (tm), so it’s gotta be Hong Hee Joo (Chae Soo Bin) from When the Phone Rings for me. I love the balance between (spoilers) how adrift she feels in her personal life with how unhinged she can get when making calls with the mask of 406. I also love her artful use of sign language, especially when she deploys it specifically because she knows the person she’s talking to won’t understand her.

Favorite Male Character: If I was in my green flag era it would be Sun Jae, but since I’m in my red flag era, it’s absolutely Baek Sa-eon (Yoo Yeon Seok) from When the Phone Rings. He’s been unhealthily obsessed with Hee Joo for 20 years, and I love that for him. Also, I adored YYS in both Mr. Sunshine and Hospital Playlist, so seeing him play a character here somehow halfway between his polar opposite roles in those dramas is a real treat.

Favorite Secondary Female Character: I adored Nam Cheong Mi (So Joo Yeon) as the SFL in Midnight Romance in Hagwon. She started out *totally* out there in her quest to be hired as a lecturer at the elite hagwon for which the drama is named, and I empathized her total dedication to being a fantastic teacher that became more and more apparent as the drama went on. I also appreciated her growing friendship with FL Hye Jin. She refused to let herself be used by others as Hye Jin’s rival, even when it would have been really easy to do so for her own gain.

Favorite Secondary Male Character: A tie here for Baek In Hyuk (Lee Seung Hyub) as Sun Jae’s bestie and eternal wingman and SML Kim Tae Seong (Song Geon Hee), both from Lovely Runner. The delightful ensemble cast is part of what made this drama so strong, and the scene where these two were on screen with Sun Jae were some of the funniest. I also really, really liked Tae Seong’s unexpected friendship/relationship with Im Sol in each variation of the timeline, especially since he was the first person to consistently recognize future Sol as distinct from past Sol.

Favorite Ship (runner up): Look, I know I should just choose one couple, but it’s my list so I make the rules, and I’m so obsessed with Hee Joo and Sa-eon right now that I have to give them their own slot.

Favorite Ship: Sun Jae and Im Sol’s (in Lovely Runner) determination to protect the other even at the cost of their own lives takes the cake here for me. I also loved seeing Sun Jae recognize Im Sol’s feelings for him multiple times across different possible timelines, and always, always choose her. I was rooting for them so hard and they made my heart flutter so many times across so many timelines that it has to be them.

Favorite Secondary Ship: I ended up really loving the romance between spicy romance  web novelist Nam Ja Yeon (Han Ji Hyun) and chaebol/her internet troll Bok Gyu-heon (Lee Sang Yi) in No Gain No Love. Seeing how these two went from true enemies to lovers was such a treat. I do some research on Webtoons in my professional life, so seeing this drama take seriously the toll that internet hate can take on creatives felt really profound (and pointed) to me, and seeing Gyu Heon realize how much harm he caused in trolling her so hard and figure out how to legitimately make restitution really resonated for me. Plus, the bonus episodes in their spin off, Spice Up Our Love, were a nice treat! These two are totally ready to carry their own dramas as leads, if they want to.

Favorite Platonic Relationship: I’m a sucker for friendships between women, especially for some reason when there are three of them, so the friendship/sisterhood between Son Hae Young, Nam Ja Yeon, and Cha Hui Seong  in No Gain No Love was catnip for me. The way they always showed up for each other even if they didn’t agree with the other’s choices really, really worked for me. Ja Yeon and Hui Seong’s roles as Hae Young’s only foster siblings to stick around long term was really touching, though also bittersweet.  

Dramas I Missed: I meant to watch A Virtuous Business, because who doesn’t love middle aged women selling sex toys? I still might, but that one will likely stay on the back burner for a while. I might also pick up Atypical Familyat some point, since enough people liked that one well enough for me to be at least a little intrigued. Anything else I ought to check out?

Non-2024 Drama Spotlight: I watched Link: Eat, Love, Kill at the end of last winter break, and it was such a fun little drama! It had that unexpected mixing of genres-- the perfect balance of romance, thriller, murder mystery, and magical realism���that made me love KDramas in the first place. I adored Moon Ga Yong as the ne’er-do-well FL forced to move back in with her mother and grandmother by her lackluster career, and her romance with the chef starting a restaurant across the street (played hilariously by Yeo Jin Goo) who, for reasons unknown, shares a psychic connection and can sometimes feel her emotions! Throw in a murder (maybe?) that the mom and grandmother help the FL cover up; a cold case; a fridge that somehow keeps ending up with a body in it; and unexpectedly sharp commentary on domestic violence, and you have yourself a winner, at least in my book. I highly, highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t yet!

Dramas I'm looking forward to: Idk I live under a rock and am happily surprised when fun dramas show up on my dash. I do like the Webtoon for The Remarried Empress, so hopefully the drama for that will be good? Not over all the articles describing this story as a "historical" when the plot depends on the ML being able to *turn into a bird*, so we'll see I guess

🍁🍁Comfy-vember 🍁🍁

Day 8: Thunder shower/Fresh fruit

Grant Ward & Gramsy & Phil Coulson, Agents of SHIELD, Saving Grant Ward AU

--------

The storm rolled in faster than Grant had expected, its flash and growl catching them just as they turned in at the lane up to Oakstone.

"Come on, Lady!"

Grant bolted, sprinting fast enough his tennis shoes barely seemed to touch the paving stones. Lady caught him at the turn by the rose hedge, and passed him, her chestnut ears streaming behind her head.

The rain came slow at first, big fat drops that warned of a torrent, but by the time he reached the walk up to the kitchen door, the heavens had truly opened.

He fetched up on the veranda soaked through, dripping as he took off his baseball cap and walked to where Coulson and Gramsy sat in lawnchairs, sipping sweet tea and smiling over at him.

"Did you take a swim?" Coulson kidded.

"Don't stay wet too long, honey," Gramsy said, squinting a little in the dim storm light.

"Yes, ma'am," he nodded, suddenly self-conscious under their combined scrutiny. Of course, he thought, they must have been talking about him, Coulson getting the scoop on all the skeletons in the Ward family closets.

The man looked away, out over the lawn, and Grant quickly stole the drink out of his grandmother's hand, drained it in three gulps. He ignored her exclamation and it's fondness, rattling the left-over ice cubes as he pushed the glass back into her fingers.

"Thanks, Gramsy!" he called as he bolted back to the edge of the porch, hopping a few steps on one foot then the other as he tugged his shoes and socks off, before running back out into the rain.

Soft grass, cool and wet under his bare feet, as he ran down the lawn to the pond, divebombed in, came up laughing like a crazy person. Lightning flashed, thunder close on its heels, and the rain fell thick enough he felt like he still had his head underwater. He swam to the little dock, hoisted himself out in a single easy motion, and jogged back up the hill a little ways.

Again a flash, the crack of thunder almost on top of it, and he straightened sharply out of his flinch, almost glaring up into the sky, daring it to frighten him again.

He had to close his eyes against the rain, and as he stood there, he became aware of the warmth in the water covering his face, the sticky sweat washed clean away, his quick breathing, his rapid heartbeat. His skin seemed to tingle, and then he saw the burst of light through his eyelids, heard the sound of the sky tearing, an enormous sound, followed by a boom that shook the ground under him.

Grant did not move.

Let the storm rage, let the lightning burn, he'd survive.

When he opened his eyes, he was less startled by the lightning, than he was to discover Coulson standing beside him.

The man had taken his suit jacket off, and his own socks and shoes, and now he was as drenched as Grant, head tilted back, eyes closed. When light and sound split the sky, Coulson laughed, opened his eyes to grin over at Grant.

"When I was a kid," he called, loud in the abruptly slackening rain, "I was terrified of thunderstorms." His voice dropped, smile softening. "Until my dad carried me out in a storm, danced me around in it. Once I stopped screaming, I realized it was actually beautiful."

Grant had to turn away from that direct look.

"We'll have to strip in the mudroom," he said over his shoulder. "Gramsy doesn't like anyone tracking mud on her carpets."

"True southern woman," Coulson chuckled, sloshing after him back up the lawn to the house.

Simply slipping into dry clothes made Grant feel like he'd turned on a heater, and he found himself whistling softly as he followed Lady back down the main stairs to the kitchen, where Gramsy was slicing fresh peaches into three bowls.

"You're in Georgia, child," she said, when he raised his eyebrows at her.

"In the summer," he smiled, filling in the old thing she'd always said to him and Rosie. Outside, the rain had slowed to a drizzle, and the thunder's growl was faint.

Glancing down at Lady, Grant snuck two slices from under the knife, dropping one on the white tile, where the little spaniel gobbled it up.

"Grant!"

He couldn't help grinning at her shocked indignation, and the backhand across his bicep was more of a pat.

Gramsey was so small and fair, so open and carefree, Grant had often had trouble believing she was his father's mother. But then he'd catch the heavy hints of sadness when she looked at him sometimes, and he knew she was reminded of the boy she once loved.

"Dropping fruit on my floor." Gramsy tsked her tongue, wagged her small knife at him. "What kind of manners is that Mr. Coulson teaching you out there in the Wild West?"

"Oregon isn't the Wild West, that's Texas." He leaned on the counter, stuck his hands in the pockets of his jeans.

"Well, he says you're the best marksman he's ever seen, so I don't see much of a difference." Gramsy's grey curls bobbed around her face as she shook her head.

Grant felt a sudden heat in his cheeks, and he stared off out the half-open windows.

"But I like him. He's good for you, I can tell. And to think he turned his life upside down for you, left the job he loved, moved to the other side of the country to give you a fresh start... well. If that doesn't tell me he cares deeply about you, I don't know what does."

Grant bit his lip, wanting to shake his head. He didn't understand it. Coulson had agreed to that within 48 hours of meeting Grant—how could he care about a nutcase teenager that much that fast?

Maybe he'd ask Ms. Trina in their next session, after he and Coulson got back to Oregon. Or maybe not. After all it wasn't like he trusted her.

But after stealing Lola, Grant thought he might be starting to trust Coulson.

"Speak of the devil," Gramsy said, as Coulson appeared, now in jeans and a t-shirt himself.

"Uh-oh." Coulson raised his eyebrows. "Am I really that bad?"

Gramsy laughed, a light sound that lifted Grant's heart.

"Not at all, honey."

"Well, you have your faults." He bit back the 'sir' as Coulson's gaze slid to him.

"Such as?" The man spread his hands in a gesture of innocent confusion.

"You are a traitor to your state, cheering for the White Sox like that."

Coulson cracked into an honest chuckle. "Yes, my parents would be absolutely ashamed of me."

"And Grant grew up in Massachusetts but cheers for the Yankees." Gramsy raised her eyebrows at his glare. "Honey, it's nothing to be ashamed of, everyone cheers for the Yankees."

"Except you," Grant pointed out.

"You know very well I don't cheer for any baseball team but the Swainsboro Tigers," Gramsy said primly. "Now, let's take these peaches outside. The humidity makes them taste better, I promise."

Grant sat on the steps, Lady lying beside him, and mostly just listened to the adults talk. He hadn't actually visited Gramsy in several years, not since he'd been sent off to Lyman Ward.

As kids, he and Rosie had been sent here for two weeks out of the summer, while Mother and Father took Chistian and Thomas off to Europe or wherever. Rosie had declared Oakstone to be fairyland, or maybe Heaven. It was understood that they would never tell Gramsy about the things that happened back home. Oakstone was a safe place, and they wouldn't even think about Mother or any of that while they were there.

Now... Grant was looking forward to going home tomorrow. He liked his job at the pizzeria, and Coulson said he had enough money to start browsing the junkyards and dealers for something good. Grant wanted a truck, Ford, something classy, but not an antique. Maybe something like what Rory Jefferson had had, not that he'd deserved it. Grant twitched, shaking off the memories of Christian's gang, tuned back into Coulson and Gramsy's conversation.

"The yard needs some work," Coulson was saying. "Not much in the way of grass."

"Oh, you should take some cuttings back with you for some roses. Maybe some Teasing Georgia, or a Tahitian Sunset?"

"I've never tried growing roses before. But Grant's been a big help tilling, and putting in a bit of a vegetable garden. We've got more tomatoes than we know what to do with."

Grant smiled a little to himself. Putting in the garden had been fun. And Sal at the pizzeria had promised to show Grant how to make a good sauce.

Lady huffed a sigh, sprawled on her side so her head pressed against his thigh, and he ran a hand over her soft belly fur.

"Good girl," he whispered.

The sweetness of peaches and brown sugar syrup still lingered on his tongue, when the clouds broke, and a shaft of afternoon sunlight spilled through.

[lesbianlenas]

so many young women recently desiring to be stay at home mothers….the ironic part of it is that all of those women that do become stay at home moms will one day understand why the women before them fought so hard for them to not have to fulfill that role at the point at which they realize that their personhood has been entirely sacrificed in the name of motherhood & there is no going back on that. all women who are stay at home moms are forced to put themselves aside to take care of their children and husband & are forced to make that their entire identity & that is exhausting and dehumanizing. that is how betty friedan started second wave feminism w the feminine mystique. bc women finally realized that all women hated being housewives & there wasn’t smth wrong w each of them individually as they had all believed. but those that do not learn history etc etc……

Huiyeon telling grandpa about how she first met Jiwon is LOVE and I LOVEEEE because I too am very in love with that first meeting. I would be so enamoured if someone did that for me too.

Their non-verbal communication through the cctv 🥰🥰🥰

SIDE NOTE I AM NOT USED TO NA IN WOO MAKING OUT WITH SOMEONE

also, if anyone had to take Jihyuk’s fate, I’m glad it is Yura

What’s with the cherry blossoms? Is it to symbolise how they all came back?

Juran saying that she wants to spend her first day as a single woman with her friends and then turning back to tell Mr Lee that she will buy him a meal? Girl yes.

Na in woo in another fluffy sweater is a win for my eyes fr fr

Na in woo hoisting Park Minyoung up? Superb 👌🏼

I guess crazy won’t ever stop being crazy…

I love how they’re ending with them looking at cherry blossoms. I think that’s just right.
