Hierarchy

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Hierarchy (2024, South Korea)

Director: Bae Hyeon Jin

Writer: Chu Hye Mi

Mini-review:

Oof, what a disappointment. I feel like this wanted to be one of those transgressive teen shows we get in the West, but then it didn't have the guts to go all the way and ended up being like any other kdrama about the rich and the poor. And even then, it's just not good at that either. The writing leaves a lot to be desired, and it gets more boring with every episode. The acting is also all over the place; some of the actors do a solid job, but most of them are mediocre or downright terrible. Tbh, there are two things that save this drama from disaster: firstly, the director adds a lot of style and flair to the proceedings; secondly, sometimes it's fun to see a bunch of super pretty people all together in one place. But still, there are a lot of shows where you can find those things with much better quality. I wouldn't recommend Hierarchy, unless you really love someone in the cast...

HERE FOR THE BAIZHLUC 10,11,19,20,27?

hello ily/p so much dear mutual

alrighty *cracks knuckles*

10; Describe their first date.

-> okay this is a little tricky bc i have like three different views on how they met to begin with so lets take one im in the process of writing the fic for; diluc returns from his trip after his 18th and he is so incredibly sick but because he needs to enact his darknight hero stuff, he wants to get better as soon as possible and asks his staff to get a doctor not from mondstadt, he doesnt let anyone in mond know that hes super sick for a week. so After All Of That and diluc gets better; their first date would likely be baizhu showing diluc a restaurant in liyue and baizhu learns how bad at using chopsticks diluc is. so he spends a few days teaching diluc as best as he can :> another good idea , but less of a date would be diluc Really Fucking Struggling in Battle and Needs to be healed and luckily hes on the path near stone gate where baizhu was already going and baizhu helps him out with shields + healing bc good golly diluc is so fucking reckless

11; Do either try to hide their emotions if upset? Can the other still tell?

-> oh they both sure try !! in their early days, (bc i have like. a fucking timeline here in how they grow and slightly change alongside each other blah blah) only baizhu can tell if diluc is trying to hide his emotions mostly bc diluc is Bad at it (and that he doesnt see much of a point in hiding it too hard if he's in front of someone he trusts, or wants to trust) so if something is upsetting diluc, he will frown more (bc a lot of people think he always frowns when he just has resting bitch face sdfdsf) he will have a profound sadness in his eyes and baizhu can notice these things because paitents who dont want to admit they need help do this too, baizhu has practice in spotting these sorts of signs. then in their later days of being together for like . 4-7 years or so; diluc starts to spot baizhu's signs of hiding emotions too. in the first couple years he notices baizhus Customer Service Mode (think how he was in the archon quest with childe) which can /look/ like his Doctor Mode (baizhu's own story quest is most of him in Serious Doctor Mode) but they are two different things. diluc figures out how to notice when baizhu has something else on his mind, asks whats up and if baizhu doesnt tell him, than changsheng Will. so. lmao.

19; How do they feel about PDA?

-> depends where they are; if they are in mondstadt, diluc tries not to be super obvious with baizhu but he wont stop baizhu if he wants to be super affectionate towards him, and its a bit opposite if they are in liyue; baizhu doesnt try to be super obvious but he wont stop diluc if diluc wants to be super affectionate. but either of them being super affectionate like that towards each other is only possible about 2 or 3 years into the relationship, and not on year one or anything.

(the real answer is changsheng is the only one actually /against/ baizhluc pda; "Keep that too yourssselvess and away from the eyess of Qiqi..")

20; Choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship.

-> i will do you one better; i have a whole playlist !! some of these fit them characteristically and others are songs i think they would dance to or sing along to or just enjoy :> up to you to guess which ones are which

this is /technically/ the second playlist bc the link stopped working on the first even after i tried every trick in the book to get it to work again (it is NOT a priv playlist or anything it has no reason to be doing this) so i just copy-pasted that playlist here

but if i had to boil them down to just one song; itd probably be at my worst by pink sweat$, song number 84 if you sort it by my custom order. cherry blossoms by dream hotel is a close second option for a Pure Baizhluc Song :>

(i also have a fic where diluc sings one of these songs to baizhu check it out here; Link) (it will get a probably short second chapter soon hehe)

27; Who is the light weight that needs to be taken care of after a party?

-> neither of them would go to parties that often, let alone touch alcohol; baizhu for health reasons, and diluc for personal taste reasons. but that being said when they do allow themselves a small self care tactic of Having Fun, i think it'd be a bit of a competition... on who's the lighter-weight. bc i think they are both Very Very lightweight. baizhu sadly gets physically sick of the alcohol sooner, so if the question is who is by the other's side while they need to puke, its diluc at baizhu's side first,, but diluc does have worse hangovers so he's the one who ends up puking in the mornings instead of at the party itself. baizhu is only sometimes able to be by his side during those times, if hes not recovering also (if not recovering from alcohol, then some other problem he has, he often needs to spend more time in bed compared to diluc because of this and diluc doesnt mind that too much)

side note: i think diluc is a very talkative drunk and pushing aside his personal taste, he'd rather stay away from alcohol because he will accidentally spill some secrets, and baizhu has similar feelings since baizhu is a very Emotional drunk and he's not one to want to show his emotions in front of others, he will end the night crying about something probably minuscule, and diluc does his best to distract but if dilucs drunk too they are both helpless and others will need to step in (reluctantly hu tao if they are in liyue and kaeya + rosaria if they are in mond) ((on the off chance kaeya and rosaria didnt also get drunk yet, rosarias better at that but if she knows she cant handle drunk baizhluc she will find lisa or jean who Can))

Love and Redemption Rewatch: ep. 1

I genuinely love and adore this show but with how little content there is for L&R, I had to made some for myself.

Beware of SPOILERS for the whole story! Seriously...

I'm so excited!!! The opening song is still so good and still so full of spoilers. Like really, Si Feng with the wings??? The creators were not afraid... it was a choice.

Who do we have here? Yep, they have shown our bird and our monkey right off the bat.

The whole opening monologue is such a great misdirection! They even say it - one comes after the other! But the viewer expects two players, so this very suspicious setup is completely disregarded.

Wow, they really show everyone, don't they? :)

The concept of soul AND primordial spirit was very hard for me to grasp the first time, but rewatch makes it quite clear.

I swear I have seen this guy somewhere...

Yep, it's this guy from The Journey of Chong Zi.

This is ANOTHER great misdirect because we know that God of War and Star of Mosha are going to be reincarnated at the same time and OF COURSE Si Feng is here... so who could he possibly be, am I right? :)

And another great thing? The demons genuinely don't have the most important information either. :D

I almost forgot that they need Rahu Ketu's weapon to unseal the cup... all these macguffins to keep track of.

And this ist how the story tells us that Xuan Ji and Ling Long are twins... pretty easy to miss.

Ten months?? That's quite post-term!

Ling Long is amazing from the start. Protective older sister is something I need more of... and Ling Long is fierce!

The introduction of Min Yan is also on point: the only one who can keep up with Ling Long and never leaves her, but at the same time is always backed into some corner by her.

He is regretting it already... :D

Ling Long is talking about all these "handsome men" she gets to meet and Min Yan is not amused...

I have questions! Are all of these golden winged birds?? If so, do they really cast out so many potential warriors? To fend for themselves in hostile world without their powers?? That's rough AND wasteful...

I can't decide which picture sums up the Master of Li Ze Palace (does he have a name???) better, but I love him and his terrifying claws.

The bird lantern! There truly is foreshadowing for everything, if you know what to look for!

Yuan Lang's and Wu Zhi Qi's "friendship" is so interesting to me, because sometimes Yuan Lang almost looks like he means it... but the powerplay always comes first.

Wu Tong goes from awestruck to smirking in 0,2 seconds and then proceeds to bully the sister of the girl he likes... it's actually quite realistic.

I honestly can't remember when Si Feng stops stammering... I will have to look out for that.

Ling Long isn't afraid to say it. :D

Min Yan still isn't enjoying the whole "let's look for handsome mysterious guys" vibe, but Ling Long has him figured out.

The relationship between these two is extremely enjoyable right from the start. :)

I think this is the scene that made me definitely fall in love with Ling Long. She is determined, driven, protective and smart, and she is not afraid to use tactics like this - the crying and evocation of their mother is extremely well done and the way she immediately cuts her crying once she gets what she wants is hilarious. No one can mess with her sister, not even their own father!

This is a very specific morning routine. It can't be easy to make your tea from dewdrops fallen from a plum tree... just saying.

This relationship is off to a very bad start.

I already forgot how hostile Si Feng was at the beginning. I would feel bad for Xuan Ji, but she doesn't mind...

Si Feng is repressed and Chuan Ji is absolutely clueless about everything and it's very entertaining to watch. :)

The candle dragon sounds are genuinely scary.

This is a very impulsive decision on Chuan Ji's part and one she should have thought out better. She knows the rules, knows that the mask is important. What is she hoping to achieve by taking it off? It frustrates me a little, this lack of forethought, but the story needs it to get moving.

And here is another clue... wow, that's quite a lot for episode 1.

One episode was enough to rekindle my love for most of these characters... this rewatch could get quite annoying unfortunately . :)

Day 8 in NY: The Play That Goes Wrong!!! aka our last show

[peachblossomdream]

I was angry when I married you, but I never expected I would meet a demon that is more like a human. I was treated as a spy, but I never expected I would meet a general that is righteous and faithful. I was desperate, but I never expected I would fall in love with the general. Chu Xiuming.....I fell in love with you.

Jiang Yuelou, don’t scare him, he’s just a baby

Jiang Yuelou, you really don’t know the concept of personal space around Chen Yuzhi, do you? 

You can’t say no to him at all, Jiang Yuelou.  He has you wrapped around his little finger.  What Chen Yuzhi wants, Chen Yuzhi gets

They are such dads right here, I fucking swear

Put them away!  Put your god damn heart eyes away!
