Currently Watching - November

aka The Masterlist

Because I love a good little list - in alphabetical order! 😊

Regularly updated during the month, latest update 27.11.2024

A little link to my favorite bl-tropes-collection 💙

gif-requests are open, but you'll need to have some patience🌼

Here you can find all of my gifs.

At the end you can have a look at what we can expect in November with a MDL link and a link for a trailer (if avaible).

This is guaranteed to contain spoilers!

1. Blue Canvas of Youthful Days 🇨🇳 (10/12)

@bengiyo made me watch it. I wanted to wait until I could binge it, but he made me curious and now I am heartbroken and anxious! And in love with it. Well, at least the main story. The side couple didn't grew on me. There is a little bit too much obsession between them and I can't get a right feeling for them. They are a little bit off for me. But the main story? Oh so good! So much melancholy and pain and young, shakespearean love! So much trauma on both sides. I hate Qi Lu's father with all my heart. I hope someone will hurt him. And I hope Qi Lu can get away from him. But this is a chinese production. I don't know what to hope for in the final? A happy ending? Would that be too much too ask? Both of them happy, but separated? Well, that could work for me. A sad ending? Possible. I would be devastated. Thank you Ben for making me start it!

2. Love In The Air: Koi no Yokan 🇯🇵 (4/10)

As expected like the OG I don't like that one that much... The only reason I still watch this one is because of Nagumo Shoma. Guess this will be dropped next week... And instead I just watch Kiss x Kiss x Kiss: Love ii Shower...

3. Miseinen: Mijukuna Oretachi wa Bukiyo ni Shinkochu 🇯🇵 (4/11)

Those two are the bluest boys out there right now. They long for each other, and it is coming to the surface, slowly but steady. And sure Hirukawa, you're not going to fall in love with him. Who do you want to fool? You are already in love! I really like this series so much and I know I am not ready for the heartbreak.

4. The Heart Killers 🇹🇭 (2/12)

This whole scene? Gorgeous! Perfect! Incredible! Hot! Wow! The rest of the show? Meh... I enjoy the StyleFadel dynamic, but the rest of the show? Not so much, for now. Perhaps it will get interesting in the future, right now it is kinda boring.

5. Word of Honor 🇨🇳 (20/36)

Perhaps November will be the month I finally keep watching this series. Who knows.

6. Your Sky 🇹🇭 (2/12)

I am in love with them! Is this a bit cringe? Sure. Is the story flat and kinda predictable? Also yes. Do I get butterflies in my stomach whenever they look at each other? Yes, yes, yes! It is so obvious that Fah already likes Teerak. He is so smitten and happy that they can play couple. I can't wait for the feelings to grow on both sides and for them to become real boyfriends and not just fake ones. I guess there will be some heartbreak, because to fill 12 episodes with fake boyfriends is a bit too much. But oh, this series feels so good! I am enchanted!

Finished in November

Series

Let Free The Curse Of Taekwondo 🇰🇷

This series broke my heart, healed it only to break it again. I am very happy we got this domestic, happy ending. It has such a hopeful touch in it. Not everything is damned, just because you took a wrong path in the past. There is always hope for you to find love, to change the path, to get to a state of happiness you dreamed of as a kid. Trauma and abuse shape our lifes, but it doesn't have to dictate it. Tough topic that hits hard. A really good series with a great story and good acting. A good 9 out of 10 for me.

Every You, Every Me 🇹🇭

I was so in love with the first episodes. The concept of a series consisting of multiple episodes showing soulmates falling in love with each other over and over again was all I ever wanted and dreamed of. And then came the two last episodes and we got robbed of this sweet illusion and everything was just fake and acting. It took the magic away. It took the romance away, especially because I couldn't understand the conflict between Inn and Pun. And the time jumps were wild and confusing. I really wish they just have made two episodes more of them being soulmates in love. For episodes 1-8 I give this one a 10 out of 10, but because of the last episodes I can only give an 8 out of 10.

The Nipple Talk 🇹🇼

Oh man, this was so good. We have a small group of friends, a lesbian who likes changing sex-partners and doesn't believe in relationships, a sex-positive straight woman, who likes to have a relationship, but didn't meet the right person so far and has sex with as much men she wants on the way and our gay man, who believes in love and monogamy and who is now on the search for exactly that after the break up with his long term partner. This series was surprisingly good, very sex positive and everyone's guru MAMA has not just an interesting story in stock, but is our mirror and the voice in the back to not judge other people's lifestyles, just because it is not to your liking. It is a mature queer series, no bl. And in the end people can change, love can happen when you least expect it and you are continuously learning and growing. I am happy Leslie finally saw Jie for the perfect partner he would be. HIV was discussed and became an important part in the last part of the story and I love how Leslie understood that this is not a reason to not date a man, especially when you have planned your whole life together already. It is something you can live and love with. But it was great to see him learning, because this can be difficult in the beginning. This series is really just so good! A clear 10 out of 10 for me.

Kidnap 🇹🇭

Okay. This might sound a little bit harsh, but overall I think this was not the best series. It was boring and misleading. Yes, it did not meet my expectations. I thought about some more action and drama. Yes, Ohm and Leng were cute together. Yes, Leng is a rookie, but he did a good job. Yes, Ohm has incredible pretty puppy-eyes. And yet it was not to my liking. What I liked was the fact, that trauma was not healed with love, but got better with a therapist. What I liked was the relationship between Ming and his brother and later between Q and Mhen. It had enough good parts to keep me watching. But overall it was just a 6 out of 10.

Heartstopper Season 3 🇬🇧

I finally watched it! I looooove the comics and I loved the first season. And then there was season two and three and I couldn't bring myself to watch it, because then it would be over and Charlie and Nick would be back in their world and I must let them go again. But it was worth the heartbreak. Nick is the greenest flag on fictional earth and watching them growing together and taking next steps with each other and standing side by side through rough times, really let me believe in love for a short moment. They are perfect and I love this universe! Totally 10 out of 10.

Jack & Joker: U steal my heart! 🇹🇭

Was this series perfect? Nope. Do I care? Also nope. I just have a very soft spot for YinWar. I can't help it. Yes, the plot was kinda weak in the end. The idea of the ring of power was ridiculous, the resolution was just as ridiculous. But still, do I care? Nope, really not. I just love YinWar. They could remake Dinosaur Love and they would get a 10/10 from me. Perhaps one day I can rate this one with a clear mind, but until then this will be a 10 out of 10 for me, and if it is just because of YinWar's chemistry and onscreen kisses and stares and just every fucking interaction.

Movie

Short Film

Dropped in November

Bad Guy My Boss 🇹🇭 (8/12)

I can't deal with this anymore. I have no clue what is going on anymore. And the relationship between Elyes and Pat is so annoying. I have no wish to continue this show anymore. So I dropped it, finally. And made room for something else...

Looking forward to in November

[sunskate]

i love how you can get phone service everywhere in the Montreal subway. not true in nyc

maple lattes!!

Guillaume was at the practice behind the boards for IAM yesterday with an official lanyard though i didn’t see him working with a team

the last group of men practicing at Verdun this morning before the short: Kao, Adam, Jun, Ilia, Shoma, Yuma. Unbelievable group. Yuma feels like a very focused, hard working, very talented puppy. it's like he never learned anything the wrong way so there's an ease to him

i had never seen Adam live before - didn't totally get it watching on a screen, but i get it now - he's dynamic and has this extra gear where he can be explosive on the ice - he feels spontaneous and a little bit impulsive but kind of riveting to watch when he's on, which he kind of was at practice. so it was sad to see the short not go anything like it did just a few hours before

Ilia is looking more polished all the time. i thought he was being a little conservative in practice to save energy for the event, but then i read he was injured and it wasn't a sure thing that he was going to skate this event

amazing group of coaches at the boards for these skaters too

Shoma is always beautiful. this clair de lune program has these big silences which would be scary and a little empty for a less commanding skater

Jun - that white shirt is some magical thing, it ripples so beautifully in the wind when he skates lol and whatever fabric it's made from, it's gorgeous. i love the Masquerade Waltz, and he's looking good but maybe not quite back to peak form yet

Kao- please learn to fall less hard, omg. it's so scary. he launches himself fearlessly and almost recklessly- when it's clean it's impressive, but ow. it feels high risk high reward

then dance practice right after that - i saw a few groups before heading to the men's short - CPom were practicing last today, so i missed Madi's return to the boards. but Madi and Adrian were there with their little one in a stroller earlier too. all the IAM coaches plus Steffany Hanlen were there. Patrice came in balancing 2 coffees without lids and put one in front of MF at the boards. LaLa ran through Thriller - it looked like they weren't going full out on the twizzles or the RoLi - was wondering if spinning is one of the things that takes longer to be fine when you're recovering 😢 but they look sharp and polished

what was most memorable in dance practice today was watching Guignard and Fabbri - Marco at one point in the warmup traveled the long axis of the rink with 2 crossovers and one more stroke, going blazingly fast but really carving big curves. a lot of skaters go fast in the warmup, but beautiful stroking is just so satisfying. power and speed created organically using the blade masterfully on the ice is mesmerizing all by itself

and then they ran their free, and omg, live it's a different thing. sometimes on a screen i feel like they're not relating to the music enough, but the quality of the skating adds this extra 3 dimensional element that made it more moving

[an-odd-idea]

Men’s free skate, a totally-normal recap

Adam with the most Benoit program I’ve ever seen, good job making that shirt choreo work. He held on to that quad Lutz a la Yuzuru with the Axel that time, amazing. And that side flip thingy he does, crazy. He’s so good. It’s a shame the short program had him so far behind

Kevin no, Kevin (watch the light dude, he didn’t) The only good Bolero program there is, he sells it so hard and does such cool, interesting things, and then that choreo sequence where everybody just starts screaming. Unfortunately the program didn’t go too well, really badly, actually, so I will be erasing it from my mind and thinking about the short program instead because I could watch that one move that’s like knee slide and then magical swoop to spread eagle all day

Kao was so nervous, I could actually see the tension in him. He wasn’t able to give the amazing performance that made me suddenly crazy for him, and the jumps were all a lil scary, and that last spin was uhhhhh… but he didn’t fall and that is nice. There will be other competitions and he’ll be more secure at those hopefully

Yuma popped his gorgeous amazing showstopping make you catch your breath Salchow, but all the other jumps were perfection, and ah, HIM, Yuma’s back, baby! I’m so happy to see him on the podium at the final in his first season back, that’s crazy

Shoma nooooo, I really hoped he’d win, but alas. He was still beautiful, though, nailing that quad loop and flip that was I was so nervous for, and then argh! popped Axel jumpscare! But everybody shut up, his step sequence. It hardly registers as “oh, now it’s step sequence time” it’s just so beautiful and smooth and perfect that you don’t even think and then you realize later what difficult stuff he was doing with perfect posture and glide and all his movements measured and placed exactly. And he really did fight, went for the triple Axel again and got it and did an unplanned combination with a triple flip on the end, he’s just amazing. I think he does different arms on the choreo sequence every time. Is he still tweaking it to find exactly what he wants it to look like, or does he just improvise whatever he’s feeling? I was watching that last spin go on like “pleeeaaaase don’t get a time deduction” and he did, but it’s okay. Beautiful ice guy, he always looks a little bit self-conscious when he’s done like he just woke up from a trance, which to be fair is what his skating does to a person, and he’s like “oh, whoa, there are people watching me?”

Ilia won, and it was well earned. He makes quads look so easy I always think they’re triples, and he’s working so hard on the component score, you gotta love him. That twisty jump he invented was perfect to the music and I’m glad the people liked it so much. Good job Ilia!

[vilyae]

Is shoma that good-looking in real life?

100%!! He is just gorgeous irl 🤯

[sirenthatmakesyouwantcake]

this is what i think of some of the 2023-24 figure skating worlds winners programs

SHORT PROGRAMS

Shoma Uno was so beautiful and graceful. it was a very beautiful program that he did so well with almost no mistakes. I've never really watched his programs but he has become one of my favorites just form this program. One of the things I love seeing is when they look like they are floating as they jump and he really did that.

Yuma Kagiyama was good, I really liked his song choice and costume. the commentators are so right, he really has marshmallow legs and is really stable. Overall, this program had some really good chorography that he executed well.

Ilia Malinin is definitely a prodigy, there is nothing that could be said against this. He could be more artistic, if that makes, from what I could tell, that's what set Shoma Uno and Yuma Kagiyam apart from him. His program had so much personality to it especially in the last half. He has come such a far way and did so well for being a little injured. His raspberry twist is so cool and I really love the way he just... well, I really don't know what to say about it, its just looks so cool. He seems like he really does love skating. I hope he does well on Saturday, he could even win.

I couldn't find Leona Hendrixx or Lee hea-in because they aren't available in my country.

Isabeau Levito was the first one I watched this year. She's so young and has done so well this year and last. She also looked like she was floating in her jumps. For her program, I don't know what is was about her spins but they were so beautiful and done well especially with the biellmann at the end. If she does well in her free skate, she could also win.

I think I've seen Jason Brown's name before but I'm not sure where, he did good and I especially liked the way he moved. Through I don't know what the song was about, I feel like the movement matched the song nicely.

FREE SKATE PROGRAMS

Sakamoto Kaori's contrast with the dress she wore was nice and I loved how it sort of matched the energy of the song she chose. It's so nice how they are moving away from classical music. Towards the end of her program, when it picked up, it looked like a very fun program and the crowd sounded so happy. For this one, I couldn't find the official video so its a little harder to see what was going on. Lastly, the spin sequence at the end was gorgeous and I thought that the stuff at the very end (I don't know what to call it) was also cool.

Isabeau Levito is so young and preforms so well, it's wonderful to see someone like that. I really liked the little hops that she did and how made them look so effort less. She looked so happy at the end. I guess the take away from her performance was to just believe in your self. To get a podium at such a young age for both short and free is so cool.

I couldn't find Kim Chae-yeon, but I did see a picture of her wining bronze and her dress was nice, I wish I could have more to say about her because I'm sure it was a beautiful program.

I loved the opening of ilia Malinin's program, I remember watching nationals (I think), it's so fun to watch he's arm movements in it. The program was beautiful earlier this season and he had only improved. He is the quad god. The way he amazed everyone and made his triple jump sequence EVEN HARDER, I don't have words for this guy. After all of that, he's legs must have felt like jelly, I don't blame him for taking a moment to lay on the ice. There was something missing in his short program, but this one had it all. He is truly a prodigy, up there with Yuzuru Hanyu and Nathen Chen, the people who use consider God's on ice. He's only 19 and already the highest score. It's unbelievable to have seen this. I'm so glad that I hadn't gone to bed a few minutes earlier and missed watching this tonight although, I might have some trouble sleeping after watching such an amazing performance (but editing this the next day was not as fun).

Adam Siao Him Fa was good. I didn't find the official videos for him to. From what I could tell, he didn't land all of his jumps perfectly but he was still good. I really liked the step sequence he did in the later half the end. And to top it off, he went from 19th to 2nd, that also really cool. I almost forgot this but he did a back flip and I thought that was brave since it kind of dangerous but then again the whole sport can be (I actually did a school project that included why the skaters are 'risk-takers')

Yuma Kagiyama (another one I couldn't get an official one of) had a great choose of song, a very dramatic one that he added so much to with his program. He was close to getting sliver but that fall wasn't so good for his score. The program was still as graceful as he always makes them and fun to watch.

I was seriously surprised to see Shoma Uno in 4th when I was looking at the scores, once I watched a video (I couldn't find an official one of this) it was clear. He is so talented and I really hope he's doing ok. Most of the performances was graceful and everything that he makes them but for this program, there must have been something wrong.

Edit (5/20/24): he just retired the other day, from what I've seen, he was lacking motivation since nathen chen and yuzuru hanyu leaving, apparently they had a friendly competitive relationship and he's been lonely. He said he would continue skating but now he will do the moves that he wants to do instead of being constrained by ISU rules. Im looking forward to seeing what will come from his professional career. (Link)

OTHER

Madison Chock and Evan Bates is one of the few ice dances I have ever watched (as well as anything with two people). The song they chose was a wonderful choice and their outfits really matched it. I have also just learned the different between ice dance and pair skating because of them.

This year, I really liked and payed attention to the catch foots and butterfly jumps.

This year the skaters I watched looked like they really liked it and we're genuinely happy, it's kind of sad when they are forced in to it like the Russians often are by the time they're adults (or at least that's what it seems like from their reactions).

Since starting to do some figure skating about a year ago, it has been interesting to see just how good these skaters are. Before, they looked like they were born on the ice but now I can see just how much work they put into every performance.

I said I would put this out today, and after not having a keyboarded with me all day, I have finally finished it. This has been an amazing season with someone doing what no one else could and then setting a record, than you for reading, I really enjoyed writing this this year. goodnight
