#OH i should finish extraordinary attorney woo

[llycaons]

ironically I've only seen one kdrama and its modern day with no magic or anything but it IS insane the relationships are so interesting and the fashion is stunning

[survivalistghost]

Top 10 kdrama friendships that had me bawling

#10 - alchemy of souls : mu deok/bo yeon + the boys

the only reason this doesnt get a higher rating is because they just didnt have enough scenes together. it was always pretty secondhanded, like the boys helping her with her servant exam in s1, or scenes between seo yul and mu deok/bo yeon. however, their friendship was amazing, and just adore this show in itself.

#9 - doom at your service : tak dong kyung, na ji na and cha joo ik

okay, they weren't a trio, necessarily, but they had such a great friendship through indirect interaction. joo ik and dong kyung had such a wholesome excited little sister and passive older brother relationship. and dont even get me started on the cuteness that was the friendship between na ji na and tak dong kyung.

#8 - strong girl do bong soon : do bong soon and gyeong shim

i wrote about this in my review of strong girl dbs as well, and the friendship between gyeong shim and dbs was so cool because both women were willing to go to such lengths for each other. one of the lesser-highlighted friendships of kdramas.

#7 - crash course in romance : nam haeng son and kim young joo

it takes a lot to sacrifice your national sports for your friend, and young joo made that sacrifice like a pro. their friendship was so cute, a bit annoying at times, but cute nonetheless. they were there for each through the goods and the bads, and that's all we really ask for.

#6 - lovestruck in the city : lee eun oh, suh rin i and kang geon

why! are! they! not! talked! about! ultimate peak best friendship, no romantic subplots to this gang, absolute delights. everyone should give lovestruck in the city a try.

#5 - twenty five twenty one : the gang

how could i say friendship and not have these people. this gang singlehandedly and platonically had enemies to besties, childhood besties, sunbae besties and just everything. right in the feels.

#4 - weightlifting fairy kim bok joo : the trio + the boys

the 'swag' trio. every time they did the swag thing it made me cringe so bad but they were very cute. the rooftop scene was legit so cute and the addition of the boys was even better. nothing beats these weightlifting girls and we stan.

#3 - extraordinary attorney woo : woo young woo and choi su yeon

this was sosososososo cute. the way su yeon was literally always there for young woo. she couldve easily been a villain, young woo took the guy she had a crush on, was higher in grades and well known. had an influential background. such telltale signs of bad women in kdramas. BUT this amazing person really was so good with young woo and totally spring sunshine su yeon.

#2 - the fabulous - the gang

everyone seems to hate the fabulous. genuinely, come at me. i dont give a shit about cinematic art or marketing strategies or whatever, this is my opinion gonna stick to it. i ADORED the fabulous. their gang was so amazing, the definition of supportive, cute and somehow maintaining that joke around stuff. they had their little pairs in the middle as well, but that didnt take away the overall love. go watch it.

#1 - hospital playlist - the band

im a recent to hosplay bandwagon, but. i fell in love. finished the (almost) entire show in nearly a week, an achievement considering it's my finals rn. we've got the piggies, buddha who is catholic, the guy who knows everybody and his dad. it was the little things with them for me, really. when they called jeong won andrea like that was so cute. when jun wan called seok hyeong ik jun's dad it made me laugh so much. and the fact that they're really not that close when u think about it but they still are? like that is adult friendships and we love.

[gyuworm]

I'm up early bc I started a new exercise routine 😖 I'm still sleepyyyy but gotta get into it this year!

You'll have to lmk which one's are good and which are meh. I think there are 3 actual Conjuring movies. The rest is just the Conjuring universe. Which includes all the Annabelle movies and the nun and such. Any movie that tells the stories of Ed and Lorraines investigations.

That's so crazy!! Not many ppl have heard of it. I love writing but I never map out how i want it to turn out so i lose focus of the end or any plot twists. I love ur writing sm I wanna make a request but ik ur backed up rn. So imma wait and think of a good one. I think I'm gonna start Extraordinary Attorney Woo. It has one of my favorite actors Tae Oh. (He was also in Run On which like i said is my faveeee) So I'm excited ✨️

I also use spotify! I was hoping you'd say that. Maybe sometime I'll have to share my kpop playlist ✨️✨️✨️

~ 🍓

yesss you should share it when you are comfortable doing so!! <33

Hot Stove League (2019)

I started my journey down the Korean Drama rabbit hole with Extraordinary Attorney Woo a very good drama led by the talented actress Park Eun-bin. When I finished with that, I was left to wonder, what should I watch next? Netflix decided that this was one of the options.

It's kind of about sports, but not really. Maybe I should explain...

Baek Seung-soo (played by Namkoong Min) is the new manager for a mediocre baseball team in Korea. He was hired to make the team just good enough that the owners can shut it down completely without having any backlash from the fans (and their potential customers).

Lee Se-young (played by Park Eun-bin) is the operations manager. She doesn't want to shut the team down. She doesn't want to work for this crazy guy who is now her boss. But she's going to try and do her job anyway.

Kwon Kyeong-min (played by the amazing Oh Jung-se from It's Okay to Not Be Okay) is the grumpy president of the team who hates baseball, hates his job, and wants to run the much more challenging and prestigious industrial part of the parent company. His job is to be a Plot Obstacle.

So it's not really about sports, it's about office politics, and a bit of a competency fantasy for people who like math and business and only kind of like sports.

But the acting is good, and the plot keeps churning along nicely and by the end of the series, you end up wanting this whole crazy thing to work out for everyone. It sort of does work out, which is satisfying.

choi suyeon and dong guerami should date btw

Spoiler Alert : Finishing Little Women

Proceed at your own risk - you have been warned.

Last night I finally got to see the last episode of Little Women and boy oh boy my first impression was correct. This series is dark and unrelenting from start to finish. The sisters, especially the oldest two, don't catch a breather until right at the end of the last episode.

I guess not unexpectedly given the title and the supposed homage, the series is satisfyingly female centric. All of the actresses are given space to establish and develop their characters from the sisters themselves to the formidable great aunt with a hidden past to the mysterious, mostly presumed dead, Jin Hwa Young.

Kim Go-Eun as Oh In-joo provides the beating heart of the series. A character whose every emotion, however fleeting, is reflected in her expression. She wants to provide for her family and is tempted by the "easy" money that comes so unexpectedly into her hands. Her goal is to raise them from poverty. Poverty here, meaning not only a lack of wealth but a brand of relative worth which the rich have promoted and is now fully accepted by society. It's a tactic not exclusive to the elites of South Korea. Sometimes the social comment in kdramas only serves to bring the reasons for growing inequality elsewhere in the world into sharper focus.

Nam Ji-Hyun as Oh In-Kyung is the tireless fighter for truth and justice who will take on typhoons but who is swept away by the tears of broken families. She is self accusing and fragile which leads her to numb her senses at the bottom of a vodka bottle. However, once she gets her teeth into the story, she is relentless and agile. So many obstacles and threats had to be faced and overcome in order for the truth to be finally revealed.

Park Ji-Hu as Oh In-hye and Jeon Chae-eun as Park Hyo-rin wonderfully express that love, care and fierce loyalty that comes with an adolescent best friend relationship. How fitting that they should escape the madness of the blue orchid together. Their closing scene on the ship in Episode 10 when they know they are finally free was beautiful and uplifting.

Finally, Uhm Ji Won was an eye opener as the gleefully manipulative and malicious Won Sang-ah. To the last her murderous tendencies are flamboyant and theatrical so much so that her James Bond villain ending seemed only fitting.

Overall this series was unexpected and ultimately very satisfying and a nice counterpoint to Extraordinary Attorney Woo which I saw earlier in the year. What shall I watch next?

Reveal your watch and to watch drama list!

No one tagged me in this and I’m late to the trend or whatever, but I enjoy talking to myself on tumblr dot com so I am going to do it.

Currently Watching:

Vice Versa - It was so good! I had so much fun watching it, and it kept me on my toes so far and nothing went quite how I expected it to. I adore Jimmy to pieces and I am excited to have him play a role I won’t starting hating partway through (cough Wai cough cough). That being said thus far him and Sea are overshadowed by my excitement to see Ohm and Nanon acting together again, and I am already extremely attached to their characters. They are just really fun to watch onscreen together. And Lay is adorable, I love him and wish him nothing but the best already. Also Forcebook!!!!!

Sky in Your Heart - I want it to be better than it is. I don’t dislike it per se, but it isn’t leaving a lasting impression for the most part - and that is saying something as I am quite easy to please. The last episode was really good though, so I am hopeful the finale will deliver.

Mama Gogo - This show is just fun, and I love seeing Earth get to play a different role than usual. Toptap is excellent, though I have a bit of a bias and really the whole cast is doing a great job.

Senpai This Can’t Be Love! - Japan continues to produce excellent content. I love how caring of each others feelings the leads are, and the humour is excellent, as per usual with Japan.

My Secret Love - I look forward to this show every week. I wouldn’t say it is good all the time, sometimes the tropes they lean into are irritating and the chancellor can fuck right off, but when the show nails the assignment it really delivers. I am enjoying all 3 main couples, and love how they have very different relationships and struggles. It is easy for shows with this many couples to feel redundant but My Secret Love never does. The less said about Tim the better though. I really dislike him. I am liking Mek more as the series goes on, but he still fucks up majorly every episode. Why was your apology to Tim so insincere when given to Tim himself and not to Kim?  Also the sisters should be a GL couple just saying.

Love Mechanics - It is messy and dramatic and oh so entertaining. I really root for MarkVee despite everything, in no small part thanks to spectacular jobs by both actors.

Want to See You - The episodes have been getting better recently, and it was never bad, just more soap opera than I am accustomed to. Thach and Phuc are really sweet together now that they are actually communicating. I’m not sold on how hard they have angled Nu into a villain - it seems she is competing with Namning and  Amy (La Cuisine and What Zabb Man) for ‘most ridiculously over the top cardboard spurned lover’ villain ever.

Cafe Minamdang - I am behind on this. I started it to fill the From Now on Showtime shaped hole in my heart, and it is doing it’s job, even though I don’t think it is quite as good.

Alchemy of Souls - Fun, indulgent little fantasy drama where my second lead syndrome is luckily mostly offset by my multishipping tendency.

Even Sun - The premise and cast could have made this very good, but it is just ok due to a dud of a script. The actors do their best and manage to somewhat salvage it, but we are halfway through the the two mains have had the same conversation with almost no variation each episode.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - I love this! I adore her and she is so relatable, and even though our autism presents in some drastically different ways she makes me feel so seen.

46 Days - I still have to finish the last couple episodes of this. Pure crack and I cackle every episode. Though every time I watch I am struck by how much I would love Mild and Baifern to play a couple sometime, they play off each other really well.

Kanakana - I am having some trouble tracking down subbed eps which is frustrating. But this is one of my favourite dramas this year. It is so sweet, and I love the main character so much. I am also a sucker for tropes about misunderstood characters who look scary but are softies, so this gives me everything I want. It also gives me Yotsuba vibes.

I also just finished Kinnporsche, Triage, Kimi no Koto Dake Mite Itai, and TMS2. I enjoyed all of them, though the writing of Kinnporsche fell apart halfway through and the writing team made some highly questionable decisions, especially in the finale. I think they tried to do to much at once and ended up being satisfying with very little of it. Triage is so far not only the best show of 2022 so far, but one of my favourite shows ever. It was well plotted, with excellent gradual character reveals/development. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Kimi no Koto... was excellent, such a sweet coming of age story, albeit short. I liked TMS2 a lot, I waited till it was finished airing and binged it which helped with the pain. I also think I’m going to drop Check Out and just treat Ep 0 as a spin off, because I loved the pilot episode and the show is just... not good.

I do plan to start Colour Rush 2, Mystic Pop Up Bar, & Oh My Sunshine Night when I have time.

Rewatching:

I’m not really rewatching anything myself at the moment, but I am rewatching Bad Buddy with my cousin and I am going to start Triage with her soon, and then probably Not Me. And I convinced mom to watch ATOTS with me so that will be fun.

Looking Forward To:

Too many to list! But I am most excited for Moonlight Chicken, Art Adore En, The Uncanny Counter 2,  Never Let Me Go, The Eclipse, Gap, My Only 12%, Home School, She is Still Cute Today, Girlfriend Project Day 1, Cheese Sister, War of Y, and Six Characters

Also shout out to MOD2/Transplant, since that seems to be happening and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Sammon adaptation supremacy!

[jungwnies]

hello maeby baby! the sell went pretty well for it to be my first! ^^ this week i rested cause last week i was putting up all nighters everyday making sure everything was ready, i finally watched season 4 of stranger things ngl i hesitated a lot cause I can’t do horror and i heard that this season was pretty tough and i did not what to end up traumatized but thanks to the internet i was able to skip the bad parts haha

i also recently finished extraordinary attorney woo, (literally yesterday) it's definitely one of the best k-dramas i've watched and i believe there will be a season 2 which has me super hyped! i'm glad that you got to do your homework, and your teacher seems like a complete sweetheart hehe so cute.

recently i've been good but the upcoming school year has been stressing me out a little bit 😅 i have a few projects to complete already and school hasn't even fully began, but i'll get it done eventually LOL i'm going swimming in a few hours which has always been one of my favorite things, and i've been studying korean nonstop everyday for when i get to go there finally (hopefully it's soon!)

same goes for you my lovely anon <3 make sure to take care of yourself and i wish your small business the most success! make sure to enjoy your birthday to the fullest and thing about nothing but yourself because today is your day and no one should have the power to ruin it!
