#THE NORTH KOREANS JUST WANT IT TO END 😭😭😭😭

[what-if-nct]

As a fanfic writer and also Korean (but not North Korean lol) as well as Japanese too, I could try to continue the story in my own words! Also, it kinda reminds me of this one anime where there was only 3 or 5 guys on earth and they needed to sleep with as much girls as possible to repopulate and there was this one guy who at first didn’t care about sleeping with the girls and just wanted to be with his crush. Yeah, his Jonghyun reminds me of him. I don’t remember the name so let me know if you know-

So I would assume he would be going home into his mansion where he would be greeted by multiple women offering themselves to him since he seemed very stressed out and clueless. One day, he was walking outside during a ceremony he was a part of with crowds literally cheering like fangirls when he saw Miyeon from a distance. Although there were police officers everywhere, he did try to talk to her in hopes they could try to turn into a thing. He told her to meet him at a cafe after few hours in which she came. Eventually, they went to his place where they would sleep with each other and give birth to Kibum, making him next in line when he dies. Also they got married because they can.

Also, I’d assume Jonghyun would hit the nuke button thinking that it would bring the country food that the previous leaders has been hiding from everyone.

The end. 😭

Wait we’re allowed to talk about Jonghyun now or am I just slow?

I think it's fine as long as it doesnt go too far and is sparingly like every few days. Cause its still a NCT and Stray Kids blog. (Skz is a this year addition but give NCT a year they'll absorb every kpop group)

Hello everyone! My name is Hana and I’ve been watching kdramas for…many years lmao. Due to covid, I’ve had more time to watch some of the newer ones and wow. I was blown away. Anyways, here is the list for some of the memorable ones I’ve seen between 2020-2021. If you end up watching any of these or have already seen them, please lmk. I could discuss them all day!!!

Vincenzo - 2021

A Korean-Italian mafia lawyer heads back to Korea to serve justice in his own way.

Thoughts: Watch this. Drop everything and watch this. I’m not exaggerating when I say I was on the edge of my seat every episode. It’s so refreshing to watch a show where the protagonist isn’t afraid of getting his hands dirty to serve justice 100/10

World of the Married - 2020

A woman is given the shock of her life when she finds out her husband and friends have been deceiving her.

Thoughts: This story been overdone but it was still enjoyable to watch. So many characters made my stress level insane but that only means they did a good job portraying them, right? If you like angst, cheating etc then this is the drama for you! 7/10

Silent Sea - 2021

A 24 hour mission to an abandoned base on the moon, what could go wrong?

Thoughts: Oh. My. God. You must watch this. I ain’t even giving you the option not to. It’s insanely good and I was left shocked after each episode. The ending though 😭 you’ve been warned. 100/10

My Name - 2021

After the loss of her father, a woman is driven by revenge to find the person responsible

Thoughts: We love a badass female lead, don’t we? This satisfied my love for the revenge trope and left me wanting more. Was kinda sad though so prepare yourself. 9/10

Devil Judge - 2021

Dystopian South Korea where a live court show is aired for the citizens to watch and participate, hosted by a heartless judge

Thoughts: Okay so this judge had me questioning him from the START. I was like ain’t no way he’s a judge. Turns out every thing he did had a really good reason behind it. It’s nice to see justice ACTUALLY being served. 9/10

Squid Game - 2021

Many contestants compete in a series of children’s games to win a huge prize but they should’ve read the fine print…

Thoughts: This just made me paranoid in reading contracts ALSO it really showcased the greed of humanity and how far humans really will go for money. I enjoyed it but I definitely feel it might’ve been overhyped just a bit. 7/10

Itaewon Class - 2020

A wrongly convicted ex-con fights to make his dream of a street bar a reality

Thoughts: Ugh the way my heart broke for the main boy. He really went through it so that’s why it was so satisfying to watch, seeing him grow into a man and try to make his dream come true. 9/10

The King: Eternal Monarch - 2020

An emperor fights to close the doors to a parallel universe but he unexpectedly falls in love with a detective.

Thoughts: A fantasy romance with crime? Sign me up. I loved this. I’m a fan of Lee Min Ho so my eyeballs were happy to see him on my screen. It was kinda sad though so prepare the tissues. 8/10

Crash Landing On You - 2019

Paragliding gone wrong lands a South Korean heiress in North Korea, running into an officer that helps her back home.

Thoughts: Okay, this made me laugh and cry and then laugh and cry. No in between. Also made me angry. It was nice to see Hyun Bin in a drama again. I’ve loved him ever since Secret Garden. 8/10

It’s Okay Not To Be Okay -2020

A book author that is anti social and an employee in a psychiatric hospital fall in love during their journey of healing

Thoughts: y’all are not ready for the PLOT TWIST. I promise you’re not. It had my jaw on the FLOOR. Also the characters were refreshing. 8/10

Kairos - 2020

A fantasy thriller about time travel and crime solving. Two people connected by a phone for mere minutes a day.

Thoughts: If you haven’t figured it out by now, I really like crime dramas. It’s just so interesting to me and I always end up learning lots but also add in time travel? We stan. The way they solved crimes was so unique because the past, present, and future were tied together and it made me shake with anticipation. 7/10

Squid Game (There’s No Squids)

I binged watched Netflix’s Original Series Squid Game because I seen so many people talking about it online and because my sister kept on telling me to watch. I’m honestly still in the high of soaking up everything about the show, so instead of doing a review like I want to, this is just all of my texts I sent to my sister, edited for spelling typos and other stuff.

Episode One: Red Light, Green Light

Me: Hey there’s cursing in the subs 👀

Sister: I’m (going to) eat right now but I’ll read your stuff later

Me: Dad was the kid in the opening right

Me: [What’s with Korean dad being losers] and having (a) daughter less than 13.

Me: GUN?

Me: I DON’T BELIEVE IN JESUS

Me: I think the only one would be the first episode meme of the creepy ass doll and old man walking 

Me: [That old man wtf] This

Sister: Lol

Episode 5: A Fair World 

AND

Intermission

Me:  [Thank you police detective for worrying over your probably dead brother.] Okay so since episode 5 reveals not only his brother is alive but the sole survivor of the 2015 games...

Me: It is someone already present in show?

Sister: Lol why you’re asking?

Me: So you can laugh at my guesses 

Me: I think it’s either goblin salesman dude or the main mask man

Sister: Ah 😂

Me: Unless they’re all the same character

Me: God is this is legit I’ll lose it.

Me: This is Liar Game only deadly

Me: We never did finish the Korean Version of Liar Game

Sister: No I never finished Japanese one either lol

Me: Jkjk nice

Me: I can’t wait to read the TV Tropes Page lol

Me: And ao3

Me: Who the fuck can you ship in squid game anyway

Sister: Oh you’ll see

Sister: You just finish 5?

Me: Ye

Me: [Sister: Oh you’ll see] This is ominous

Sister: Have fun with 6 🥳

Sister: Watch by yourself I suggest

Sister: And like, at least that no one to bother you so you can fully take it all in

Me: Like so far the closet I got is Gi-hun and Sang-woo due to the whole “childhood friend” aspect but even then I’m not board on it because Sang Woo is a shady MF

Me: [Sister: Have fun with 6 🥳] What is this implying this is even more ominous

Me: Actually you know the grunts remind me of the Among Us guys lol

Me: Detective dude playing Among Us

Me: Do you think you can survive the Squid Game?

Me: I don’t think I can lol

Me: I’ll chicken out at the signing and leave

Sister: [Detective dude playing Among Us] Lol that’s the meme for him

Sister: [Do you think you can survive the Squid Game?] Hell no

Sister: [I’ll chicken out at the signing and leave] I wouldn’t go back

Episode 6: Gganbu

Me: I was going to say Sang-woo is a jerk for not picking his best friend

Me: But HEY SANG-WOO IS PROBABLY GONNA SCREW ALI OVER

Me: Don’t trust the bitch

Me:  [I was going to say Sang-woo is a jerk for not picking his best friend] Gi-hun picked old man tho 😢 he so nice

Me: too bad he’s loser dad lol

Me:  [But HEY SANG-WOO IS PROBABLY GONNA SCREW ALI OVER] OH MY GOD SANG-WOO DON’T DO WHAT I THINK YOU’RE GONNA DO

Me: [Sister: Oh you’ll see] Lesbian vibes going on

Me:  [OH MY GOD SANG-WOO DON’T DO WHAT I THINK YOU’RE GONNA DO] HE DID THAT WH*RE

Me: Also I am looking respectfully at him 👀👀👀

Me: [Brother is someone I swear] He is the Front Man this is my final guess

Me: Oh god

Me: Half an hour?!?!

Me: [Like so far the closet I got is Gi-hun and Sang-woo due to the whole “childhood friend” aspect but even then I’m not board on it because Sang Woo is a shady MF] Childhood friends to strangers to enemies Gi-hun is not tolerating Sang-woo anymore

Me: SAE-BYEOK

Me: GIRL NOOO

Me: Detective has 12% battery left???

Me: Damn he must not have fun apps

Me: Bruh these two men are just eating fighting

Me: WAS HE TRYING TO GET GI-HUN INSTEAD?

Me: SHOE SAND ATTACK

Me: Gi-hun was actually cool in that moment lol

Me: THAT FUCKING DOLL

Me: 😭😭😭 Sang-woo wtf

Me: He really gave it all up in the end

Me: He still values their friendship in the end

Me: YOU ARE ALL I LONG FOR

Me: ALL I WORDSHIP AND ADORE

Me: IN OTHER WORDS, PLEASE BE TRUE

Me: IN OTHER WORDS

Me: 😭😭😭

Me: This song is just for fuck up shows huh

Sister: Which other???

Me: Neon Genesis Evangelion

Sister: Oh 😂

Me: [Childhood friends to strangers to enemies Gi-hun is not tolerating Sang-woo anymore] Childhood friends to strangers to enemies to maybe in another life

Me: MOM DIED WTF 😭😭

Me: Damn Gi-hun got depression and I don’t blame him

Me: HEY WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK JUST HAPPENED

Me: [😭 AND THE OLD MAN HE KEW AND DIDN’T CARE AT THE END] OKAY F*CK I WASN’T EXPECTING SOME EDEN OF THE EAST BULLSHIT WITH THE TAXI DRIVER

Me: SO THE OLD MAN JUST WANTED TO HAVE FUN I GUESS HE RETHINK HIS CHOICE HUH

Me: Little brother is taken care of and uh, something with Sang-woo’s Mom

Me: Almost doneeee

Sister: I’m going to nap for a bit, I’ll read when I wake up

Me: HEY WHAT WITH THE ENDING

Me: DID GI-HUN DECIDE TO NOT SEE HIS DAUGHTER TO TAKE DOWN THE SQUID GAME PEOPLE

Me: Also goblin cameo again

Trying to Make Sense Of It All/Fun Miscellaneous

Me: [😶What the fuck players are killing each other and the game people aren’t doing shit] 😶 Oh considering the old man I think he wasn’t expecting this at all and him wanting to stop is him legitimately wanting it to stop

Me: Him wanting fun like his childhood make sense given his age he lived through the Japanese occupation and that era was hell

Me: https://www.reddit.com/r/squidgame/comments/py705x/il_nam_player_001_grew_up_surrounded_by_dead/

Me: TV Tropes has lots to say about Sang Woo diverse character lol

Me: And the old man of course

Me: Ao3 Time!!!

Me: Sae-byeok and Ji-yeong 🥰 I totally get it

Me: Sang woo and Ali? Whatever float your boat

Me: Of course

Me: [Childhood friends to strangers to enemies to maybe in another life] .

Me: Okay so why is Gi-hun and the detective ship together? 

Me: I would personally ship Gi-hun and Front Man

Me: Trauma dudes

Me: Ah, the Salesman and Gi-hun

Me: I was not expecting the protagonist, a 40 something man, to be ship with so many different people

Sister: [Me: DID GI-HUN DECIDE TO NOT SEE HIS DAUGHTER TO TAKE DOWN THE SQUID GAME PEOPLE] Ye

Sister: [Me: 😶 Oh considering the old man I think he wasn’t expecting this at all and him wanting to stop is him legitimately wanting it to stop] I fucking called it in the first episode he was part of it lol

Me: Ooh why? This only?

Sister: [Me: I was not expecting the protagonist, a 40 something man, to be ship with so many different people] Lol

Sister: Okay so main character actor was in The Thieves

Me: BRUH

Sister: And Sang-woo’s actor was in the Mermaid K-Drama

Me: Has to be someone I don’t remember or met lol

Sister: So there’s a thing on reddit, someone said the way the characters die is foreshadowed.

Sister: Like Ali stole something in episode 2 and he dies by having something stolen (from him)

Me: Oh

Sister: Sang-woo tried to commit suicide in episode 2

Me: And he kills himself in episode 9

Sister: Sae-byeok said she was gonna cut the dude’s throat in episode 2

Sister: 101 with the bridge

Sister: Police Detective threw a squid game person off the boat to hide in the game

Me: Wow!

Me: I hope this show doesn’t get a season 2 lol

Me: I like the ending

Me: Like you could interpret it as Gi-hun taking a boat lol

Sister: [Me: I hope this show doesn’t get a season 2 lol] Right it was good for a season

Sister: I don’t really want to see more of the VIPS

Me: God I wished Front Man just went in and killed the VIP close to assaulting his brother

Me: I’M SO PISSED AT THAT TWIST LIKE WHY

Me: If we get a season two I want to see the 2015 game and the present intersplice together

Me: So Front Man and Gi-hun can have a real heart to heart chat

Me: Twitter compares Sang-woo and Gi-hun to Hannibal and Will

Me:  🌚 Taking this as a sign I need to sleep

The Next Day (Spoilers for the video game 999, movie The Cabin in the Woods, and tv show Hannibal)

Sister: I knew the old man was bad because of 999

Sister: There’s always one playing the game 😅

Sister: And that belko experiment movie

Me: ?

Me: ACE

Sister: June??

Me: Oh

Sister: 😂

Sister: https://www.reddit.com/r/ZeroEscape/comments/pva15x/anyone_seen_squid_game_new_korean_netflix_series/

Sister: [Image of Reddit User No-Asparagus-9507 saying “The only thing they have in common is that they both make you distrust old people.”] Lol

Me: They’re not wrong 😅

Sister: I really wish they made the VIPS Korean

Me: Yeah to emphasize

Sister: Like higher ups in the political world or something

Me: Ye

Sister: It ruined them being foreigners and that English 💀💀💀

Me: I never thought I would hear bad English from western actors

Sister: Like Cabin in the Woods, make it so every country has their own watchers

Me: Ye!!!

Sometime later

Sister: Oh! So did you expect Gi-hun to help the dude that was on the street in that last episode?

Me: I did at first but then I realize he’s so pissed off with the old man and at games and his depression he didn’t do it due to his state of mind

Me: So him at end going after the Salesman and stopping the poor sap who was going to risk his life is him going back to normal, sort of

Me: Doesn’t excuse not visiting his daughter but hell I can see why

Sister: There was another analysis thing that said no one really grew much compared to when we first saw them. Like he’s still the same “dad”.

Me: I mean in Gi-hun’s case his daughter did move to the US

Me: Still

Me:  https://mobile.twitter.com/02png/status/1449111995987283972?s=20

Me: Front Man Art

Me: [If we get a season two I want to see the 2015 game and the present intersplice together]  I WANT 2015 GAMES

Me: [So Front Man and Gi-hun can have a real heart to heart chat] I wished Front Man revealed he was in the games so Gi-hun could just get more pissed off

Sister: [Me:  https://mobile.twitter.com/02png/status/1449111995987283972?s=20] Ooh

Me: I WANT TO SEE HIS GAME MAN

Me: Like you think he enter for his brother

Me: WHO HE LATER KILLS WITH GUILT HAUNTING HIM FOREVER

Sister: People who watch Korean stuff said they were surprised to see the actor 

Sister: Because he’s like one of the highest paid actor

Me: Really? Damn

Sister: Someone said he looks like Korean Mads (Mikkelsen)

Me: Yeah I got that vibe

Me: [Twitter compares Sang-woo and Gi-hun to Hannibal and Will] Wrong comparison then

Me: Honestly speaking if there is a season two it should be the reversal

Me: In Hannibal, Will joined the dark side

Me: So have Gi-hun managing to get Front Man to (help) take down the games

Me: Keep it intersplice with 2015 games to show how Front Man eventually became the same bastard who put him through hell

Me: How you like my concept of season two being (the) reversal of Hannibal

Me: [Sister: Because he’s like one of the highest paid actor] BRUH HE WAS IN THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN REMAKE????

Sister: Oh yeah!

Sister: [Me: How you like my concept of season two being (the) reversal of Hannibal) Wait huh?

Me: Basically instead of protag becoming evil antagonist becomes good

Me: So Gi-hun convinces Front Man to end the Squid Game

Sister: Ohh

Me: Granted this is me wanting more content of these two the potential is strong here.

Sister: 😅

Final/Just Yesterday

Me: https://mobile.twitter.com/jajayes_/status/1452249286402580487?s=20

Me: LOL FUCK THIS IS TOO ACCURATE

Sister: 😂

(Honestly speaking, Squid Game is a very captivating show with its themes and criticism and characters but there’s no way I could ever watch it again I won’t be able to handle it a second time.)
