From now on, showtime! is legitimately the most underrated show I've seen so far on my kdrama journeys. Despite being a fan of fantasy shows and looking out for genre recommendations of all types, I'd never have even heard of it if I weren't determined to watch everything PHJ was in, and he's not even the best thing about it. He's barely in the top three best parts about this show. It's a fabulous ensemble comedy, it's a meaningful but not overblown past-life second-chance love story (it's what TOTNT was doing between Yeon and Jiah but more realistic), it's about forgiveness and trying again and true personal growth and sassy ghosts and letting the intrusive thoughts win sometimes, all with a very passable script, good direction (the lighting director deserved an award), and a kind of like...classic feel to it? It reminds me of older dramas somehow, in its sly and humorous approach to recognizable tropes. Anyway, if you have any interest at all in speculative kdramas (especially if you want something less epic than the Love from the Star/Goblin/Tale of the Nine Tailed/My Demon brand) i really recommend it.

This is a joke but I feel like I’ll have to carry this particular fandom’s back. Do any of you still exist?

We’ve got a grand total of three fics, two of which are mine, and the other is an author who I’ve not seen trace of in a while. I’m writing the fourth and will continue but uh, did anyone ever watch a K-Drama called From Now On, Showtime?

Like, did we just never get a fandom? Please. I’m on my hands and knees. Look at my state right now lmao. I’m fixating again on K-Dramas and seemingly this series has all but two people in its fandom.

I will still yap about it but I’m curious.

The Frog

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

The Frog (2024, South Korea)

Director: Mo Wan Il

Writer: Son Ho Young

Mini-review:

Wow, I didn't think I would enjoy The Frog so much. I guess I was in the mood for a dark, propulsive thriller. I've seen some people say it's 'slow', but like... where? This kept me glued to the screen from the very first episode, and it got more and more intense throughout the next ones. It even ventures into psychological horror territory from time to time, which made it even more fun to me. The writing isn't perfect (some of the characters aren't as well developed as they should), but the directing and the acting more than make up for it. Go Min Si turns in a particularly strong performance, and it's clear she gave it her all. I'm not gonna say this is the best thriller k-drama I've seen, but it was definitely enjoyable as hell.
