#all the actors/actresses are amazing

[teafiend]

Am happily surprised to find that this latest drama adaptation has my favourite portrayal of Guo Jing (although the actor is not really my cup of tea visuals wise but am more concerned about portrayal and characterization than looks when it comes to my favourite male fictional characters. Aesthetics wise, though, I think Ci Sha is a perfect GJ as is described in the books. And the actor is very compelling and attractive in his own ways).

Ci Sha brought out the Guo Jing of my ideals and I am enamored with his portrayal, an especially steady and composed version of GJ, yet still wonderfully kind and gentle, earnest, chivalrous and generous. And he is so expressively devoted and loving *squee and swoon* towards HR 😍🤩✨🫡 Also a super-dogged bodyguard extraordinaire who can take instructions well ✨🫡☺️🥰 And his Wuxia moves are exceedingly magnificent and cool 👏🏽

This version is also particularly amazing at highlighting the relationship dynamics between my favourite OTP. So many little details in the pairing to make me squee in shipper-fangirl delight ✨🫡🥰☺️

(To be fair, I think all the versions of JingRong - and individual GJ and HR - did the pair justice, and simply a matter of preference which who one prefers. I love all the JingRong I have ever watched, and each brings a different flavour of fabulous to this evergreen pairing/and characters).

I just LOVE, LOVE them to bits ✨🤩🥰☺️🥹 They are literally the perfect canon OTP (JingRong forever✨)

the actress who played lamina did an excellent job with literally no lines and limited screentime bc whenever she was on screen you felt her anguish of just being there and having to participate in the games. when she cut down marcus you can tell she had a gentle soul and empathized with his suffering

What the fuck did I just watch? That was a freaking masterpiece. Like??? I cried? And I felt elated? And I still don't know whether what they did was right or not? But idfc anymore? THE CINEMATOGRAPHY!!! THE MUSIC!!! JISUNG'S ACTING!!! Take a bow. The last time I was this invested and scared for the entire time was when I was watching Beyond Evil.

Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie as Heathcliff and Cathy seems like out of The Onion

twitter kdrama stans would rather take a recycled romance drama over a well-written, well-executed, fascinating genre piece, and it never fails to annoy the fuck out of me. they would rather have a boring y/n fantasy than allow an actor to expand their career and do something fundamentally more interesting than just kissing their co-star in three slow-mo scenes. they behave like it's a failure if actors don't choose romcoms/romance dramas, and i wonder when this obsession will end, and we can finally make room for more interesting career trajectories.

i'm sorry for my mutuals but i promise i will be really annoying and spamming the devon illu the sacred day i get it because!!!!!!!!!! also wanted to add, the man's wearing my favorite color like hello!!!!!!! ALSO also, i was thinking the other day about mcl ng + barbenheimer and in my head i thought "between those two, devon would absolutely go watch barbie (in his profile it says that he dislikes science and the movie is about making a fucking aTOMIC BOMB) and Thomas would go watch Oppenheimer" AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT THEY ARE WEARING BARBENHEIMER COLORS come on noww, the story tells itself (i'm of course joking, just 'cause someone wears pink and someone wears black it's not automatically barbenheimer but you know what i mean lol) think about roy + i'm just ken, i'm so like SOLD on the idea of him saying "can you feeeeel the kenergy" OR or, her asking him for something at work really serious and Roy hasn't finished yet, but doesn't want to make her mad, so he would say "well idk what you want me to do, I'm just ken" (roy's my third route can u tell lol)

OMG I JUST WATCHED THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “Love Wins All” AND I’M FLOORED

Both IU and V’s acting was top tier, I’m trying not to cry rn because of how beautiful it was 😭

[dribs-and-drabbles]

Crying. Screaming. Throwing up.

If you want thriller and cool, watch Midnight Motel. If you want to laugh out loud, watch Dirty Laundry. If you want to cry and be dramatic, watch Moonlight Chicken.

the gatsby musical was.. good, nothing fantastic but overall enjoyable. i thought the second act was better than the first, but in general the majority songs were a bit pop-y for what I was hoping to get from a great gatsby musical and not super memorable. I thought the book & lyrics were a bit on the nose at times, a bit heavy handed on what they intended for the major take-aways, especially coming from a source material that if I recall correctly had a lot of subtlety and metaphor.. and there was a little too much straightforward exposition. gatsby's big showstopping number came a bit too early in the show imo, but it definitely showcased jeremy jordan's voice, and he was, of course, fantastic btw. And eva noblezada has such a beautiful beautiful voice I really loved hearing everything she sang, even if I didn't love the songs themselves. I thought the best number though was myrtle wilson's big song in the second act, though I probably would change the staging up a bit for that one.. the set pieces were cool, it was overall very beautiful to look at, if a little too much projection. I think there were a bit more practical set pieces in the second act which I liked.. but yeah overall not bad I'm curious to see if it will go to broadway, but i would hope they would tweak some things

Me: *watching Most Dangerous Game: New York Flavored* This one is leagues better than Littlest Cancer Patient Liam Hemsworth.

Also me: Why is Victor's sister so goddamn stupid and why does that make me so mad??

watching the spirited away stage play over and over just for the background spirits (and the songs)

So, I decided to rewatch "How To Get Away With Murder" after a LONG long time of not watching it or anything related to it, and it was my idea to give a very brief review of each season as I did it. I forgot to do it for season 1, so now that I finished season 2, you get two at the same time:

Season 1: I remembered almost everything, I had completely forgotten about Kan tho. I still hated the relationship between Laurel and Frank :) I really really really don't like him, so sorry if you do. Viola is so amazing in the role of Annalise, I geniunly can not imagine anyone else. Everyone else is great too.

Season 2: I think this is the case (Hapstall) that I remembered the least about, don't really know why. Frank and Laurel still going...gross. Asher begins to be less anoying and more considerate with everyone around him, I like that. EVE, oh I love Eve, marry me please. Also, and the most important thing here, I has fully forgotten that the whole storyline about Wes/Christopher backstory happenned this season; in my mind it was a season 3 thing, but I still remembered the story itself. And also, do we ever find out anything else about Caleb?? Because right now I can't remember and I'm minutes into season 3 and it doesn't seem to be something important so is he just...dead? Idk

That's it so far, stay tuned for the rest if you are interested :)
