[rotblut]

Whenever I see you recommend a kdrama, I watch it. Thank you for introducing me to Temperature of Language!!! I’m in love already and Yuri is my fave

.

omg OMG OMGGGGGGG I LOVE TO READ THAT 🤍 AND I LOVE THAT YURI IS YOUR FAVE BECAUSE SAME!!!!!!!!! SHE’S EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love her so much!!!!!!!!   🤍🤍🤍 her character is so well-written i love her so so so so soooooooooo much and she deserved to be the lead. and the actress is so gorgeous and talented ughhhh my heart! came for nam yoon soo but stayed for her!!!!!!!!! I already made so many gifs they are all waiting in the queue! this little drama was soooooooo good like I wasn’t expecting much because I wanted to get distracted and i wanted to see more of nam yoon soo  😭 but I got totally surprised because it’s so cute. 

(the only thing i don’t like is the FML. the way I like everything about this drama but her. she isn’t doing it for me at all, and i hate that because my boy nam yoon soo is in a love line with her but he has more chemistry with everyone else but that annoying girl lmao. and yoon soo’s character with yuri!!!! or him with the silent and poor smart girl!!!!!!!!!!)

ANd YURI WITH KANG WOOK!!!!!!!! OMGGGGGG SCREAMING THEY ARE EVERYTHING I LOVE THEM SO MUCH HE LOOKS LIKE A BAD BOY BUT HE’S SOOOOOOOOOOO SOFT FOR HER AND WHEN THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER I AM A MESS!!!!!

them:  👀 👀

me: 

them looking at each other with soooooo much longing and yearning 😭 and her being hurt by him in the beginning and her getting all teary-eyed whenever she sees him 😭 that is some good writing and acting and chemistry right there! it’s simple but it works! i love it when characters don’t have to say much but all their feelings for each other are conveyed with a look! the eyes are doing it for me! and that’s for every otp of mine! 

sending you lots of love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHINESE DRAMAS MUST WATCH

[Part 2]

💧NOVOLAND: PEARL OF THE ECLIPSE

Genre: Fantasy Romance Wuxia Historical

Rating: 100/10

Another drama that left a huge mark in my heart!!! This drama is everything! T.T

Lead by again the ever so talented lead actress from the Eternal Love and her so amazing lead actor--my gahd, I cannot express how touched I was with their chemistry! I was giddy and dying inside while watching.. i just cannot! The entire casts too, OMG, they are so perfect for the roles! There were lots of fighting scenes too, the bloods and wars, mygad. The martial arts were insane!

Aside from the characters, the cast, the production, costumes (which is superb btw).. I was captured the most by the strong and fresh plot--the mermaids and luminous pearls, the concept of Baixi who is the one who endures the pain, sickness and injuries inflicted on the King. The King and the male lead's friendship was like that of the leads of 'The Untamed'--it reminded me so much of that. It was unbreakable and so ughhhh. The King and his woman too OMG it was heart-breaking. I love the King! My heart ached and rejoiced.. it was a total roller coaster ride of emotions. It was crazy!! But we got our happy ending (kinda.. huhu) so yeah, it was a satisfying drama to watch--no pun intended. Must watch it, I am dead serious!!! GOOOO!!!

Finally a historical drama where the heroine doesn't do martial arts! She's a badass strategist / very clever woman though. You cannot dare mess with her! And she is a princess! Shhh! Haha! Story behind me finding this drama is actually because of the heroine herself who starred the previous drama I just watched--Goodbye My Princess--which I will be (sadly) posting here next even though I really don't want to (sad ending that's why, hmp!). She is super pretty in that drama and super good in acting too that's why I wasn't able to help myself and looked for her other dramas which lead me (thank gahd) to this. Horrah!

Anyways, this drama is also so good! It piqued my interest at first since (spoiler alert) the princess who were thought was dead actually had a plastic surgery (LOL I know, this was the funny questionable part in this story haha) and woke up with the face of her mentor's daughter who sacrificed her life for her. Now using that face, she will seek for revenge. Crazy, I know! Anyways, I love the female lead's character and how she was a genius doctor who plotted revenge sooo smoothly for her and her father's death. She is sooo witty despite all the schemings and was able to outwit the perpetrators, girl ikaw na! It was really refreshing to have a non-martial artist female lead. She has her hero though. Of course! And their love story was also to dote on. It is always so satisfying having a lover who never gives up on his lover. (Sana all.. haha) Btw, she has four admirers here.. Sana all talaga, haha! So go and watch this drama now!

A refreshing drama with a (for me) weak female lead. I mean she's naive and so childish. Oh yeah, she doesn't know martial arts too so that's really new (Oh yes, she also doesn't do martial arts in her other drama!). But then again, the love story here is super exhausting and dragging. Everytime something good happens between them, a hindrance will totally ruin it. And it is always so annoying! Like I was already having my hopes up but then boom! Goodbye princess. Lol. I'll give credits to the production though--costumes/makeup, cinematography, the casts.. all is superb actually except their ill-fated love and the deal-breaker ending. It was a doom waiting to take place and I hated to partake in it. Huhu. I hated the ending so so much.

So should I recommend this? I don't know, you be the judge :D

Another genius masterpiece! Wow, 66 episodes?! How many days did I patiently finished watching this? Lol! It was an insane journey! Well, journey to the five kingdoms that is! I can't believe all if that happened, just wow. I was so speechless. I mean the plot is everything. It was a hell of a hella crazy plot. Amazing!

She has done it again! Ms. Heroine once again showed people how versatile of an actress she really is. Martial artist and being a wise woman who (always) disguise herself as a man for a reason or a mission. Seriously though, I just realized she really did disguised as a guy in all the 3 dramas of hers that I watched. Lol! She's really a tough one to defeat, a super talented actress. I love the male lead's character too.. super faithful to her to even risk his own life or justbdie with her. (Sana all talaga!) Anyways, great castings too! I couldn't think of a better male lead than the one here. I mean it's actually my first time to watch or even know him as an actor and yet I was hooked by how good he is and how fitted he is for the role. All of them are. Not to mention Zhan Bei Ye and Zong Yue! Just wow.. So what are you waiting for? ;)

6 minute review of:

SAVE ME

oK BITCH THIS DRAMA FUCKING DESTROYED MEEE 

the entire plot was fucking fantastic it was something i have never ever seen in a kdrama wow and the way they executed this show was phenomenal. props to all the actors and actresses because everyone was amazing

i started watching it solely because taecyeon was gonna enlist and said that this is “””goodbye””” present for hottests (2pm’s fandom name) and me being the crying bitch that i am, decided to watch it because i know i will miss taec once he enlists. goddamn this show was good. the first episode was scary as fuck ((in my opinion, bc im a scaredy cat and only used to watch teen romcoms)) the religious cult was not something was ever touched upon in kdramas and this show took it to a whole other level. the people in that cult, whatever it’s called guseowon???, spooked me so much. they were so dedicated to the spiritual father and can i saY I HATE HIM SO OOOOO MUCH HE’S FUCKING DISGUSTING AKSJDFLKASJ thank god he died in that fire. i was getting riled up when sanghwan prevented sangmi from just setting him on fire but luckily, the spiritual father did that himself heh 

sangmi is an angel. i love her. a lot of people were pissed that she didn’t really do much to get herself out of there??? but lowkey she was traumatized asf so her willpower wasn’t that great to begin with. i mean, her brother committed suicide, her mom is drugged to insanity and her father is brainwashed by the spiritual father. so ofc, she’s shaken up. she had no one to rely on. the cult fucking trapped her. okkk but moooooving on,,,, even tho this show had like -0.003% romance, i still shipped sangmi with dongcheol, THEY WERE CUTE TOGETHER THEY HAD THEIR MOMENTS but you know, there’s nothing. no kiss. nothing.ugh jdskfjsl;dkf maybe next time

sPEAKING OF DONGCHEOL, MY BEAUTIFUL SON AND RAY OF SUNSHINE he’s great. i felt so much pain for him when his grandmother died and when he found out his dad was basically a prisoner in that cult shnnnn but what hurt me the most was when he was released from prison and he saw his friends hanging out together from afar. so when he went to eat a bowl of noodles, he deadass starTED CRYING THAT WAS SO SAD dongcheol was fucked over so many times. and throughout the entire show, i was begging that he doesn’t die in the end bc that would suck ass. but im soooooo glad that he has a sorta happy ending :’))) and he’s back with his friends!!!! ((also btw woo dohwan is hot as fuck damn he looked good in glasses and i cant’ wait to see him in mad dog)) 

ok oK for the “”””real””””” male lead : sanghwan lol. i like him but he did fucking frustrate me to no end sometimes,, he kept going back to the police thinking that they will help but he hasn’t learned that you shouldn’t trust the system??? he needs to take matters into his own hands smh. he should know better that the muji gov is not something you should rely on,, damn. also i know so many hottests were pissed that taec didn’t get enough screentime which i understand because this is LAST DRAMA before he enlisted on the 4th (((another note, i crIED when i found out he enlisted on their fucking anniversary)))) so ofc, taec should have a role that is fit for a male lead!!! but in reality,,, dongcheol sorta was the male lead in this drama and sanghwan was portrayed as the second lead as the show went on,, rip. i really hope that taec gets to film another drama after his enlistment!! i’ll be waiting for him to come back safely :’)) 

lollloll the side characters. i was surprised when i found out that one of the main cast guys was actually from let’s fight ghost! lol so he and taec have worked previously in another horror drama,, 

and the guys who dongcheol was friends with in prison are hot,,, just sayin

alSO can i just say,, this drama had the worst antagonists ever. i actually DESPISED the spiritual father and sangmi’s dad ((i feel no mercy for him, i hope he chokes)) and apostle jo can get run over by a truck for all i care damn. there were so many scenes in which i wanted to punch sangmi’s dad because he’s so fucking dense and doesn’t see how much his own daughter is suffering???? and apostle kang,,, sweetie, uhhh she is a complicated character and i’m not really sure how i feel about her tbh,,, i mean, her daughter committed suicide and i feel like she was also brainwashed by the spiritual father too,, but she sorta figured out that the spiritual father is a #fake but still went along with all his antics.. and in the end, she decides to recreate a guseowon 2.0?? yikes 

BUT DO YOU KNOW WHO I HATE THE MOST???!?!? IT’S THOSE FUCKING SNOBBY ASS KIDS WHO CAUSED SANGMI’S BROTHER TO DIE AND MADE DONGCHEOL GO TO PRISON DKLFJ;SDJF UGHHHH 

N E ways,,, this was one of the best shows in 2017 okk this was a great horror action mystery drama and it was a nice break from all of the romcoms. i’m gonna miss this show and i hope to see the actors and actresses in future dramas!!!! also the FUKCING OSTS WERE SOOO GOOD thank u

In regards to my views of female characters in fiction and games, I have to say that I’m really, really fussy. I’m going to use the Final Fantasy games as examples. Let’s take my all time favourite ff game, ff7. Now, everyone and their mother (get it? Ha.) adores Aerith but in all honesty I actually dislike her. Not because she’s poorly written, on the contrary, I think she plays an essential part in the game and generally she’s ok. I dislike her in battle. I absolutely will do my damnedest not to use her in my party because I hate her fighting style. So, I only use her when I have no choice or am facing off against an enemy where her healing abilities come in use, as I have played the game so many times that I lost track I know the story and so have no real reason to use her anyway. I feel exactly the same about Cait Sith, I HATE that f-ing cat! Ugh. I would much rather have had Reeve himself, at least he would be less annoying. It just stands there and bounces, looking stupid and distracting. No. Cait Sith is my enemy. Kill all Cait Sith’s.  Many people on Tumblr will probably get all weird and try and say that I have internalised Misogyny when I know that’s utter BS. When it comes to battle I have a certain style I use so I tend to pick those with the appropriate abilities and I refuse to deviate because I don’t want to.  My fave female character in ff7? Tifa. I love her so much. So yeah, not so misogynistic.  I attempted to play ff8 and really disliked Squall and never really got to know the female characters in that so I can’t comment. Squall annoyed me for reasons I can’t seem to put my finger on but there we are. Final Fantasy 10 is probably at the top of my list for ‘Games I Did Not Enjoy’. Tidus was a pain in the backside, and I hated Yuna. She irritated me, again, for unknown reasons I just can’t stand her. Also, way too many bloody puzzles. If you want to put me off a game, put puzzles in it. Noooooo. However, I played it as far as I did mostly because of Lulu. Now SHE was a cool character, I liked the way she dressed and the fact that she took a Moogle into battle which is just adorable.  Now, I have missed many ff games as I have not played them and they have never really appealed to me. The last one I played before 15 was 13 and I thought ‘cool, a female lead!’ and was severely disappointed. Lightning is just so angry and miserable all the damn time, to me she didn’t seem to have any real personality except for being angry and miserable. Maybe she improves the further you get into the game but I literally couldn’t play for long enough to find out. She was THAT off putting. Also, another way to put me off a game; put a pointless child in! God knows what that kids name was but ughhhh, I dislike most kids unless they’re related to me so having a kid in a game just irritates me. (eg, Denzel from ff7 AC. I hate him. So much. Oh my god.) Basically, I’m a parent IRL, I have no wish to be one in a frigging game, thanks.  Now, on to ff15. The female’s in this game don’t really have enough personality or screen time for me to judge tbh. I mean, Luna dies after 0.5 seconds in so we never really see much of her except in brief scenes from the past. Gentiana again, not much to go on. Cindy is cool, I like her voice actress but her outfit is so totally impractical I want to enter the game and give her some proper f-ing overalls because one day her boobs are gunna over-spill and she’ll end up with a nipple trapped in a place no nipple should ever be trapped. It pains me to watch the scenes where she’s working on the Regalia because I’m just waiting for it to happen.  So yeah, basically, just because a woman dislikes a certain female character does NOT mean that she’s internalising some misogynistic bullshit. Maybe she doesn’t like that character because...I dunno...they simply don’t appeal to her? I know, radical concept! :O
