[kdramahunter]

crash course in romance

This kdrama was a bit of a let down in my opinion. I think the story starts as something focused on the girls life and that's what you expect it to play out, but as the plot moves forward she just gets forgotten and it honestly feels weird.

I must say they do mention some important or relevant topics in it, but it just did not translate to me. I think the focus switching to the mom was not a correct move, in my opinion both stories could've shined, but more so her daughters environment / story line was way more interesting.

I got really frustrated at times and one of the factors was the lack of chemistry and there was no real build up, it ended up just trailing off and losing its essence.

I, however, know there is a target audience of people who would enjoy this kdrama, that's why I set it as maybe if you're interested in watching it I would say it is a cute watch and definitely give it a try (maybe read someone else's review as well because I know mine was a bit negative).

Plot: 50

Acting: 70

Ending: 60

TOTAL: 60/100

recommend? maybe

promo cycles for a show about a group of friends where the actors are also genuine friends who hang out outside of work kind of hit different

[somedayillbepeterpan]

I don't understand what was written on the article.

But...it's peppered with so many bts photos of Jung Kyungho most especially, this

Ahhh, this is killing me. I miss Choi Chiyeol so much already.

[fyeahfandomtrash]

This happens in the span of three seconds and at the end of that confession scene and I am obsessed with how much is being left unsaid with these expressions. The way he goes from confronting the heckler to staring off into space for a second being like “yeah I just did that oh my god” and then looking back at the person he’s falling for as if to communicate “and I’m not shying away from how I feel”. Choi chiyeol the man that you are 😭😭 an absolute loser in love (the music cue is also 11/10)

4 Types Of Food Korean Actor Jung KyungHo Brings When Traveling Abroad

Celebrities have all sorts of schedules that bring them all over the globe. Whether it’s to the other side of the Korean peninsula or to the streets of a foreign country, they must be ready for any occasion. And when packing, there’s a few items that they deem absolutely necessary and must bring on their travels. Recently, actor Jung KyungHo had a photoshoot with “Vogue Korea”. He looked…

Cheritz's changes in staff over the lifetime of The Ssum

I wanted to write a post about this because it was the nail in the coffin convincing me that The Ssum won't get better. I really want to be optimistic, I was for the first year of the game's release. But with how hard they're fumbling June's route, and having some context by seeing the dramatic changes that happen behind the scenes, I don't have any hope for the game's future in its original concept.

So here's a big fat list of credits, comparison of them, and my own stupid commentary.

Credits from 2019

These are in the lyric booklet included in the Teo Love Bundle. Strangely enough, I'm already seeing differences between the 2018 credits and 2019. Uh oh?

As of release + a few months

These screenshots don't feature all the credits, unfortunately. I'm relying on screenshots someone else took because I'm not proactive but hindsight is 20/20.

Changes: Project is no longer managed by Heinrich Dortmann, instead by Juho Woo. Scenario team cut down to 2 people, one of which is a new name (Jooyoung Lim). Art team also cut down to 2 people. Sound is no longer resourced by Songhee Kim, but Jaeryeon Park and ROGIA. All new team of directing assistants as well, it expanded to 4 people but they're all new names. 2 fewer programmers, only one of the listed names was already working.

October 2023 (June's release)

Here's where it somehow gets worse lol.

Changes: A lot. Directing assisted by 1 person. They were not a part of the team credited in the OP. Down to 3 programmers, only 1 being in the OP. Entirely new art team! It's up to 4 people, but all of them are new, even compared to only a few months prior. Down to 1 scenario writer pobrecita (but we're coming back to that). Since I don't have screenshots of the project assistant credits from launch, can't say anything for that, except that Gui Zhenghao is new compared to the OP but the number of staff there remained the same. Flaming Heart is gone for the BGM! He's been working with Cheritz for forever but is gone now. One person from the communication team left, so they're down to 2. That would explain why emails have been slower since October. Only 1 translator, though Cheritz is now looking to recruit new ones.

Important note:

According to Cheritz's post acknowledging their use of gAI, Sujin Ri was not involved in writing season 1 of the game, but IS the main writer for season 2. I won't make a rant about how much I hate what she's writing cuz this isn't the post for that, but it explains why season 2 is so vastly different.

The fact that only a few people (like, in the lower single digits) remain even from 2019/early 2022, let alone who's still around from 2018, is really frustrating for the game. The game started with one vision, but now it's being turned into something completely different. Even the app's functions are inconsistant between season 1 and 2 (and a little so between Harry and Teo). According to an email I got from Cheritz, season 2 takes place a few years before season 1. Just sit with that knowledge for a bit :P. It's like the current people in charge of The Ssum (*cough Sujiin Ri*) couldn't be bothered to keep the original concept in mind, let alone how the timeline would work.

This post was a long time coming, I was caught up in just how bizarre this all is and finding tons of stuff that I haven't even included in the post. Writing this has taken about 3 hours (including the time I spent on a post ONLY FOR TUMBLR TO NOT WANNA WORK PROPERLY WHEN I TRIED TO POST IT SO IT GOT DELETED) and uhhh yeah. Now I gotta wait a few years to ask former staff if their NDAs are expired yet LOL

Dramas I would like to force people to watch with me (but can't since kidnapping is illegal) part 4

Found family, precious friendships and fighting against injustice. And also finding your way back to self love.

Prison Playbook (2017)

comedy/drama/korean

This absolute gem of a show follows the loveable Kim Jehyeok, a famous baseball player who is sent to prison for beating up the man who sexually assaulted his sister. He's endearingly dumb and kind hearted, but hides a lot of anger and frustration inside. His childhood friend (played by the best actor in the world, Jung Kyungho) works as a prison guard and keeps a close eye on the person he admires most in the world.

What has stuck with me the most with this drama is the interactions between the characters. The warmth and the friendships. In their tiny cell the inmates become a family that fight but look after each other no matter what. The most lovable and grumpy of prison guards care just as deeply for the inmates he watches over. Found family is my favourite trope, and this has it in abundance. It's also a story that talks about not giving up when it gets hard and fighting for what is right in a world that is chaotic and sometimes quite dark.

It's funny, silly, warm, thought provoking and abundantly filled with love. The ensemble of actors do a fantastic job and the story is both heart wrenching and full of hope. It's one of my comfort shows that gets a rewatch whenever I need a dose of love and hope.

BEFORE AND AFTER COLOURING CHALLENGE i was tagged by @sophsun1, thank you for tagging me!! i've been wanting to do another one of these for a while so this was perfect timing.

these are some unused gifs that didn't make it into my recent gifsets.

my colouring style has always been pretty basic/realistic, i've been giffing for over a decade and i just learned what channel mixer does LMAO so i really just stick to simple colouring. lately i've been working hard on balancing yellow/blue tones while still keeping the colours true to life or as close to the original scene as possible, but i also like experimenting occasionally and messing around with complete colour changes, like in the last gif. am i good at it? not really. but it's fun!

no pressure tagging: @celine-song @hellboys @jung-kyungho and anyone else who would like to do this :D

late night adventure

summary: in which eve forgets the code for her dorm and gets taken out

set: late april 2022

word count: 1.8k

warnings: mention of food and i think that's it

an: another mediocre scenario from me. i've been working on this one for some time so i'm glad for it to finally be out. i dont know anything about seoul's geography so bare with me. feedback and reblogs are much appreciated 💘

eve’s masterlist

“Unnie, do you remember the code to my door?”

“What?” Sooyoung asked.

Eve shifted from her position on the floor against her apartment door. She finished a practice for glassy and just got home, but forgot the code to the door. After trying to guess it, she succumbed to her fate and just called Sooyoung.

“My door. The code. I’m locked out,” she explained.

“Why didn’t you ask your members?”

“When I left the company building, they arrived for their dance practice and they’re not going to be checking their phones.”

Sooyoung hummed. “Okay. I’ll come fetch you.”

Eve blinked. “I didn’t ask you to fe–” cutting herself off, she shook her head. “I just need the code. I know you know it because I know I told you.”

There was shuffling on Sooyoung’s end of the call. “Don’t worry, I’ll come fetch you.” She pulled the phone away from her ear and started speaking to someone near her, her voice muffled. “It should take about twenty minutes to get there.”

“Ahjumma, is your hearing okay? I just need the code, you don’t need to fetch me.”

“Do you have a change of clothes in your bag?”

“Wha– yes, I do, but that’s not what I need. I nee–”

“I'll call you again when I’m five minutes away,” Sooyoung said.

Eve blinked her eyes really fast. “Okay. Bye, I love you.”

“I love you too, bye.”

They hung up, Eve standing in the hallway, wondering how life turned into this.

“Were you guys having a date?” Eve asked from the backseat of Sooyoung’s car.

In the front was Sooyoung, who was driving, and Jung Kyungho, Sooyoung’s boyfriend. She was quite surprised to also see him in the car when Sooyoung picked her up.

“It wasn’t a date,” Kyungho answered. “We were just spending time together.”

“Was it a romantic time?”

He nodded. “Yes.”

“Then it was a date,” Eve said.

Sooyoung shook her head. “No, it wasn’t a date.”

“Date or no date, I’m sorry for interrupting your night. I don’t really know why I’m even in the car right now, all I wanted was the code to my dorm.”

Kyungho waved her off. “No, no, no. It’s okay. Sooyoung can be stubborn.” He checked something on his phone. “Have you had dinner yet?”

Eve squinted her eyes as she thought, trying to remember. “Would a chocolate bar count as dinner? Because if so, then yes,” she said with a smile.

He shook his head. “That won’t do.” He placed his hand over Sooyoung’s on the gear shift. “Jagi, let’s go get dinner. She only ate a chocolate bar, which is not a meal,” he directed that part to Eve, who raised her hands in surrender. He looked back at Sooyoung, continuing, “And she ate lunch at… what time?”

“Two thirty,” Eve answered, causing Kyungho to groan.

“At two thirty! We need to get her food!” He insisted.

“Okay, okay,” Sooyoung conceded. “I was going to agree earlier, but you just kept talking. What makes you think I’d let her starve? Her brother would kill me.” She turned to face Eve as they approached a red light. “What do you want to eat?”

“Um…” Eve thought. “Oh! There’s a restaurant I’ve been wanting to try, let me just find it.” She pulled out her phone, scrolling through her open tabs on Google. “Rolling Rice Kitchen Hongdae.”

“What do they sell?”

“Rice, I think.”

Kyungho started laughing. “How can you want to go to a restaurant when you don’t know what they sell?”

“I saw a photo of the food and it looked nice!” She defended herself. “I’m sorry I didn’t cross analyse the menu. Next time, I’ll know what to do. Is there anything else I should make sure to check?”

“Do they have meat?” Kyungho responded, playing along with Eve, who rolled her eyes and groaned.

“I don’t know,” she answered. “We can find out if the driver takes us there.”

They both looked to Sooyoung, who had been ignoring them ever since Eve said the restaurant name.

“Driver-nim,” Kyungho started, “please take us to the restaurant. My curiosity has been piqued.”

“Please, driver-nim,” Eve added. “It would mean so much to us if you took us there.”

“Alright, alright!” Sooyoung said. “I thought there was only one child in this car, but there appears to be two.”

“So are we going?” He asked.

She rolled her eyes. “What’s the address?”

Eve rattled off the address as Kyungho put it in the GPS. When they arrived at the restaurant, they were seated at a table and a menu was given to them shortly. They all ordered similar dishes and a plate of bulgogi kimbap to share.

“Didn’t you already eat dinner?” Eve asked, taking a bite of her food.

Sooyoung nodded. “It’s rude to make someone eat by themself.”

Kyungho made an agreeing noise as he reached for another kimbap. “That’s true. We’re eating for your benefit.”

Eve squinted her eyes at them. “I’m not going to say anything because I’m enjoying my food too much.”

They continued to eat in silence, only talking to decide who would eat the last kimbap (Eve ended up getting it because she was the reason they even went there.) When they were done, Kyungho paid after having to fight Eve’s hand away from offering her card to the waiter. They gathered their things and soon left after that.

“Are you colourblind?” Sooyoung asked. She was in the backseat with Kyunho as Eve offered to drive home after eating. The traffic light had turned green and she found fault with the fact that Eve took more than half a second to start driving again.

“The light just turned green,” Eve argued. “Just for that, I’m not moving. Hopefully, you’ll have learnt your lesson by the next green light.” She pulled the key out the ignition, crossing her arms over her chest.

There weren’t that many cars on the street, otherwise she’d have no choice but to drive. Sooyoung started kicking Eve’s chair in protest, Kyungho trying his best to get her to stop. The light soon turned yellow, then red, meaning Eve couldn’t drive.

“Well, I can’t go anywhere now,” she commented, scratching her head.

Sooyoung groaned. “You’re a headache.”

“I love you too.”

When the light turned green, Eve waited five seconds before driving off. Kyungho gave her directions to Sooyoung’s apartment. Upon arrival, they all excited the car and rode the elevator up to her level, soon entering her apartment unit.

“Go to my room and sleep there,” Sooyoung told Eve when they arrived, speaking quietly to not wake her dogs. Kyungho slipped past the two to find blankets.

“Why?” Eve asked.

“You’re a guest,” Sooyoung explained.

Eve looked from Sooyoung to the hallway leading to her room. “I don’t want to.”

Sooyoung groaned as Kyungho brought out blankets for the couch. “It’s too late for me to debate with you, just go.”

“Where are you two going to sleep?”

“On the couch.”

Eve gasped, nearly falling over. “How could you do that? You can’t do that! Maybe you might survive, but Kyungho oppa is too old to be sleeping on your couch.”

Kyungho looked up from laying the blankets on the couch. “I almost swore at you,” he said.

“Oppa, how old are you?”

“Thirty-eight.”

“Wow, he’s basically a senior citizen. Your boyfriend is a senior citizen and you want to force him to sleep on the couch? That’s so cold.”

“Nabi, just go sleep in my room.”

“You’re not even couch heighted,” Eve argued, sitting on the couch. “Your legs will dangle off the edge. I mean, the entire reason you brought me here is because you wanted me to sleep nicely, right?” She waited for Sooyoung to nod before continuing, “And it would make me sleep nicely knowing you’re sleeping nicely. In your bed.”

“You really want to sleep on the couch?”

Eve nodded.

“You’re not going to complain about any back pain in the morning?”

“I most definitely am and we both know that.”

“You’re going to be comfortable here?”

“Totally.”

Sooyoung sighed. “Fine. I’m letting you sleep on the couch.”

“We both know I was gonna sleep here anyway.”

Kyungho watched in confusion as Sooyoung helped Eve put the blankets nicely on the couch and set up the pillows. When Eve went to the bathroom to change into comfier clothes, he tapped Sooyoung’s arm.

“Why did you let it go so easily?” He asked. “She should sleep in the bed.”

“Nabi is more stubborn than me,” she explained. “When she says she doesn’t want to do something, that means she’s thought about it probably a thousand times before coming to her decision. And convincing her to change her mind is a hassle. It takes three hours to get her to keep quiet and stop arguing, then another hour to say your piece. And what you say in that hour is very important because she will stop listening the second she hears something she doesn’t like.” Sooyoung sighed. “If it weren’t so annoying, I’d be in awe of her.”

“Wow.”

“Yeah. And it’s already going to twelve, I don’t have it in me to debate with her.” She pointed at the watch on her wrist as she spoke.

Eve soon reappeared in sweatpants and a baggy shirt. She put her bag against the couch and got in the covers.

“Are you going to watch me until I fall asleep?” She asked the couple watching over her from in front of the TV stand.

Kyungho cleared his throat, slowly beginning to walk away. “No, I’ll get ready for bed now. Goodnight, Nabi.”

“Goodnight, oppa. I love you.”

He stopped in his tracks, shocked. A heartwarming smile crept onto his face as he replied, “I love you too.” He walked down the hallway, disappearing behind the door to Sooyoung’s room.

“And you ahjumma?”

“I’m just making sure you don’t end up rolling off the couch,” Sooyoung answered.

Eve chuckled. “I’ll be fine. I promise. You must go to sleep. I’ve already bothered you enough.”

“I wouldn’t say you bothered me,” Sooyoung joked. “What time do you need to leave tomorrow?”

“Seven in the morning. I told my manager to pick me up at a convenience store nearby, don’t worry. You can sleep and be with your boyfriend.”

Sooyoung groaned. “Oh, you’re so annoying.”

“Only for you.” Eve blew her a kiss.

Sooyoung chuckled, shaking her head. “Goodnight, Nabi.”

“Goodnight, unnie,” Eve replied. “Oh! But before you go to sleep, I have to ask you something. You brought me over because you forgot the pin to my dorm, right.”

Sooyoung rolled her eyes as she walked away. “I love you.”

Eve laughed as she responded, “I love you too, ahjumma!”
