K-drama recommendation (part 1?)

Hey there!

oh my god.. How I miss writing in tumblr!

Right now I want to share my favorite K-drama that I’ve watched until now.

Start-up (2020)

yes. this is an old drama. But I am insisting in writing it now because I watched it for the third/fourth time.

I don’t want to write the summary of the drama, because you guys can look for it in wiki. But I want to share what I love about that drama!

the casts! I always love Suzy and Nam joohyuk, and so when I knew they played together in this drama I just couldn’t wait. Their chemistry, their acting, their visual. just wow

the story! You can find anything you want there: comedy, drama, family, romance, career, friendship..

the script! If you read my fanfic that I’ve written in this account, you must know that I love angsty-fluff, with poetic-metaphor- and full of hidden meanings. The words Istg... It’s simple and yet it portrays and adds the emotion to the scene. if I may say, I think it’s the most perfect script I’ve ever watched

Knowledge! just the continuation from the script, i love how this drama also gives us knowledge about start up, business, and AI. It’s fresh

I just love Dosan! many ppl will hate me for this, but I ship dosan and dalmi, not ji pyeong. I love how he decides to help Dalmi, how he falls in love with her immediately, how he feels inferior and not entitled to be with her and yet he wants to (isn’t it the most humane thing?), how he tries his best to be the best for her and makes her dream come true, how he shows his admiration and love in little things he does for her, how heartbroken he looks when he come back to seoul, ARRGH it’s just how it’s not love?

“follow your dream: and my dream is you”. okay, when I write this I just feel dejavu. I think I wrote almost the same thing when I reviewed Go go squid: DT.Appledog’s time. LMAO, maybe I am that hopeless romantic and a love story like this is my favorite. DOSAN’S LOVE IS THAT PURE Y”ALL (cries)

I watched many titles for more than 1 time, and I usually laughs whenever I watched them, even though I know the story. But this drama, that angsty-fluff feeling always hurt my little heart, and not all those drama capable to do it, and I even watched this drama with 1.5 to 2.0 speed. Still tugging my heartstrings

Overall it’s a perfect drama. with realistic topic, pure love, greaaattt script, great chemistry.

9.95/10 - definitely will watch again for the nth times

*p.s. 0.05 point is deducted because how can a coding technician be as buff and handsome as Dosan LOL

okay SO. Just FYI i have an insider contact and i asked him about this new google drive nsfw scare.

backing up is never a bad idea.

99% of people will be unaffected, and this is NOT a crackdown on having nsfw content on gdrive

"What I think has happened is that drive has made several updates to its spam/abuse filtering and one of the focuses is trying to catch spammers who share explicit things in docs with random emails. Which is good in theory, but has the potential to hit false positives."

his recommendation is to keep NSFW words out of your doc titles and instead of sharing the "open link", share directly with you beta's email addresses.

It is also more likely to flag up explicit images, though that is less likely to be a fic problem.

I love how everyone can agree on Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. It's a rare piece of media enjoyed by teenagers, middle aged people, and old folks, loved by cishets and the gayest/transest people you'll ever meet alike, men and women and everything else. What's the target demographic? Who the hell knows. If a demographic exists, it's a player in the brba fanbase. It's really one of those things that *truly* has something for everyone.

You like gritty crime dramas? Goofy character-driven comedy? Character studies? Tragic, soul-crushing sobfests? Uplifting stories of hope and growth and resilience? Cute romances? Tumblr sexymen? Blorbos? Gory gruesome murders? Metaphors and allegories to be dissected? Complex mysteries? Atmospheric vibefests? Awesome action? The brba cinematic universe has *all* of that and I am not exaggerating.

So I found this amazing story, it's called 'In the margins' by aFewMissingPieces on FF. It explores Jess's perspective on everything that has happened to him from being shipped off to live with Luke in SH to Rory, to his relationship with Liz to his thoughts and feelings, to his school work and everything in between. The story follows the plot of the show with minor changes for the first few chapters, and then the deviations become more noticeable, but it's a very interesting take on Jess and on everything else. The writing style is really good, the descriptions of Jess are really beautiful, and everything else is written so realistically, it makes you feel like you're actually in the story, not just reading it. It's really good. It's still in progress, but it's already 18 chapters long, so there is some cool stuff to read.

I recommend it to everyone who loves literati and Jess in particular. I'm obsessed with it 😍

Jesse would probably have the same reaction to Saga’s profiling as Tor or Odin, being able to directly communicate, which would lead to the best situation of both of them just staring into space while they’re silently and psychically communicating at random times

hey! what are you favorite ttrpgs?

Dice tumble

Pen scratch

A held breath

A promised climax

We sit around our table/

At our desk/in a circle on the floor

And together we laugh

And smile and more

We love these creations in our heads

As they dance and fight and flee

And as the night draws close to us

We hold them warm and tightly

These people we conjure are dear to me

For they are the crystal through which I look

To see the life I share with you

And the love we have for each other

Okay so my favourite ttrpg changes as I play them but right now it's A.N.I.M's EURKEA!

I have always been a fan of murder mysteries from Agatha Christie, to pie in the sky, Midsomer Murders, Rosemary and Thyme and everything in between.

I had run several murder mysteries in different ttrpgs and even a couple of murder mystery larps (including a spectacular zombie one) but I'd never found a system that truely captured what murder mysteries feel like.

Then I discovered Eureka and the Eureka mechanic and it all clicked. You could say it was a eureka moment.

I'm going to discuss in some detail the mechanic and give an example but before that everyone should go and

a. Follow A.N.I.M. on tumblr

@anim-ttrpgs

b. Join their patreon so we can get the gorgan playable investigator. Go look at all the cool stuff!

https://www.patreon.com/TheAgencyofNarrativeIntrigueandMysteryPatreon/posts

Essentially A.N.I.M have separated dice rolls into two categories

1. Investigation rolls

2. Non-investigation rolls

Investigation rolls are when an investigator is trying to uncover information or clues to progress the investigation. (Pretty clear definition) non-investigation rolls are all other rolls (combat, hiding secrets, getting out of dodge etc.)

Whenever an investigator makes an investigation roll there are 3 possible outcomes

1 Failure - they do not success and/or complications arise - they gain 3 Eureka points

2 partial success/mixed success - they get part of a clue or a clue and a complication - they gain 2 Eureka points

3 full success - they gain the clue without issue - they gain one Eureka point

When the investigators have a full eureka bar they can use a EUREKA!

This allows them to roll a check with 3d6 and take the highest instead of 2d6 or (my favourite option) gain clues from previous failed rolls.

So to take the most iconic episode of Midsomer Murders as an example - "The Killings At Badgers Drift"

Spoilers and CW for references to incest.

DCI Barnerby arrests the foppish artist on suspicion of murder, during the arrest the artist's sister arrives and the artist crys out "I've been framed" and makes a sign of a square with his fingers.

The DCI Makes an investigation roll but biffs it, snake eyes, complete failure, no hope of discovering that clue.

Later on The DCI is talking to a woman at a call centre who was the last known person to speak to the victim. Apparently the victim said "just like poor annabella" before hanging up. Again the DCI makes an investigation roll this time getting a partial success, there is someone related who has a name similar to annabella who died from an "accident" and the DCI decides to investigate this accident as well now, thinking (correctly) that it might not be so accidental.

But now the DCI has a full eureka bar and so the player shouts out eureka to gain the clue from the failed check earlier. And so, that night, the DCI has a dream of all the relevant clues and realises the clue missed when the artist made the symbol and said "I've been framed" it was a code, to tell his sister that the evidence of their affair (the nude painting he did of her) was in the attic and could prove that they were working together to keep their affair secret. This new vital clue allows the DCI to search for, and find, the painting helping to solve the mystery.

And so that is one reason I love eureka, along with the approach to disability and monster characters. It's currently got a free demo and stuff, go support them they're great.

Fic of the week

I'll be recommending one of my favorite fanfics once or twice a week. This week's is;

Super specific audience? Yes. Do I care? No, yall get what you get. Anygay, this fic is sadly unfinished, but it's at a good stopping point. A bit of a slow burn, and a process for the to physically get together. Like location wise. Super cute, bit of angst but lots of fluff to make up for it.

Remember to read the tags yourself. Enjoy!

C-drama recommendation (part 2)

Helloo! I’m back with another post about how Chinese drama stole my heart. I randomly watched my favorite c-drama of all time: falling into your smile for the nth time. followed by reading fanfics in Ao3 because I just couldn’t get enough of it. I just feel I want more, more fluff and love.

soo I looked for another title I can binge watch (whilst I’m depressed because of my thesis lmao, procrastinating FTW)

1. Go Go Squid! (2019)

the story is about a girl, Tong nian, (genius, written in the official synopsis, but not really portrayed well in the drama) who fell in love with cool, hot-looking, older guy, Han, who happened to be famous. (It’s so lame how the girl just blindly followed the guy and not do her research first. I almost died from second embarrassment in the earlier episodes.) they started fake dating, and date for real.

what I love

the guy is hot, the K&K members also hot. (WUBAI my love)

the topic CTF looks fun and anti-mainstream

how tsundere Han is

the friendship portrayed nicely

how the drama literally focuses on the hugs, pats, (kisses in the latter episode), first kiss done abruptly which is so cute and real

10-year difference - kinda hot

the other characters are impactful

the misunderstandings in the earlier episodes are so funny

THE KISSES ARE SUPER HOT (cdrama classics)

What I hate

CTF looks fun, it’s shame that the competition just so fast, suddenly winning.

the flashbacks are so damn long

How Han is just so childish and mad all of the time

I just hope the awkward Han shown longer than the loving Han, because I felt it would portray Han’s character more (I know love can change people, but I hope for some dramatic and gradual changes)

I would rate 7,5/10.

I’d recommend but I don’t think I will watch it again when I’m bored

2. Go Go Squid 2: Dt. Appledog’s time (2021)

it’s like a spinoff of the first season, maybe you can say it’s in different universe. The story tells about the man, Wubai, who fell in love with Aiqing and joined robotics because of her (as she’s like goddess in robotics). she eventually fell in love when she met him for a competition. but suddenly Wubai gone missing.

this story is like Fluff, mutual pining, slow burn in one. 

What I love

the main characters Wu bai and Ai qing are so damn beautiful

robotics looks fun, they showed the robotic combat very nicely

THE FLUFF oh my god. my heart was beating so fast, I screamed silently everytime they interact. SO FLUFFY I WANNA DIE

mutual pining and slowburn, it’s just like I want to push both of them together.

I love how he respect and care about her, his dedication to love and pursue her, portrayed beautifully in the drama.

just LOVE how he announce his love, especially the one when he changed the name of the competition for her, and how he showed everyone who were against of their relationship that he fell deeply in love with her and inspired him for 10 years by telling people what DT stands for

THEIR LOVING GAZES for each other like the world in only theirs

The pre-ending scenes in most of the episode, are so beautiful. they show how the progress of their love

It’s funnier than the first season.

how mature the couple is. no major misunderstanding.

IT REALLY SHOWS HOW PURE THEIR LOVE

THE KISSES OMG

it didn’t focus on the friendship, just their love, second couple’s love, with a some of robotics

What I hate

some of the other characters are not impactful. the face, and the acting are just meh

the head count for the K&K team is annoying (because they want to include Han, but he rarely showed up in the drama)

the settings look like studio

I would rate 9/10 because of the beautiful love story. nice plot. although cliche love story (but I just love it). (I’m just hopeless romantic)

This drama made me questioned myself, “where can I find someone like Wu bai?” he’s so pretty and unreal, and how he loves her so deeply made me drool in envy.

definitely recommend, and definitely watch it again whenever I want to watch some lovey dovey, fluffy, romance

That’s all for now. I must stop watching because I have to study lmao. C-dramas are so underrated while they have interesting plots and hot kisses. But I also hate how they have like 30++ episodes. it’s tiring and addicting to watch at the same time.

Bye for now!!

SEBASTIAN GIRLS LISTEN TO ME

ARE YOU PICKIN UP WHAT IM PUTTIN DOWN HERE

LOOK

LISTEN!!

I used to think Rain by Sleep Token was the most Sebastian-coded song but this one is 🤌🤌🤌

I told him I liked his style he said “Thanks its avoidant” Scuffs on his shoes and the stains on his shirt Tells me that he gets involved With all the wrong people And all the wrong things They cut off his fingers And stole all his rings A cigarette hangs from his mouth But he wont breathe at all If he fell between the bed frame And the wall I’d find him down there But I know he’d shut down my compliments Oh so abruptly The only thing he knows how to take is the blame Its always the ones with the unique Or biblical names God I want to tell him He is so lovely

Im not gonna list the whole lyrics but BRO the end of it

He hates the taste of his words He’ll get on his knees Just to beg you for silence Human connection is a... form of violence He is so lovely But loving him hurts

also support small artists yo shoutout to Jess Humphries, banger song
