Part 247 of  “A Tale of Two Rulers” (Jan 24, 2024)

I managed to finish something!!! ᕙ(⊙ᴗ⊙')ᕗ

Thank yo all so much for your usual patience and kindness! Next update will be in about two months. Hopefully sooner.

I won't be able to go do conventions for a while since getting sick right now would be very very very bad timing with my medical situation, so I took on a big commission and a kickstarter to supplement my income a bit, so that will slow me down. If you happen to like Mothman or/or ita bags, you may like the upcoming KS. I will make a post when it's ready, but I promise I won't spam about it.

(Also, comic will be looking a little different like this from now on because my old set up broke and i had to switch to another one. ^_^')

for those that wonder how the medical stuff is going, I'll put that below the cut so anyone who doesn't want to see it can skip it easier:

Yay for not having cancer! A nice relief there! I'm now taking the various medications required to start my first embryo transfer. I'm really excited but also nervous. It will happen in just a few weeks and i'm really praying that the lil' guy lives and gets to be born. lol, now to enjoy the impossible task of trying to NOT be STRESSED as HARD AS I CAN.

I didn't like killing stalking not because it was problematic but because it was dumb and tbh i'm still salty about how popular it was. it just wasn't that interesting and the art wasn't that good and for problematic porn webtoons about dubious men who fuck serial killers interview with a murderer is right there /end rant

I mean, I’m old and I’m used to completely amateur made webcomics, idk what’s up with webtoons or whatever, but i consider ks a good webcomic. Not exactly my type of couple but I could see how it’s compelling. I’ve never read the other thing so can’t say

Doona! / Lee Doo-na! (2023)

The silent, hangry, chain-smoking, giving-no-f-ks version of Bae Suzy that I didn't know I needed.

This series felt like a lighter version of Something in the Rain with a much better soundtrack, which is how I found myself spending most of my weekend watching it.

The show is an extremely no plot, just vibes, slice of life type of thing. I liked that, but I know it'll be slow going for some people. I haven't read the webtoon this is (allegedly) based on, but I can already tell writers for the show took more than a few liberties with the material.

What Worked

Bae Suzy's performance as a sad, jaded, burned out, misunderstood idol worked. This feels like something Hollywood has already done to death. Kind of a cable TV version of a pop star (male or female) who's slumming it with ordinary people and ends up finding their voice again. Along with true love.

The reason why this never felt cliche is because Suzy made you believe in it, and because the directors and cinematographers were so good at their job that you just had to believe in it too. I was willing to suspend disbelief, because I wanted to just live in the moment with them in that beautiful fantasy.

What Didn't Work

Look, Yang Se-jong had great chemistry with Suzy, and with most of the cast, but it is a complete fantasy that an ordinary, decent, hardworking guy would have that many women chasing after him. It works in a webtoon because you know what kind of story you're in for. It kind of worked here, but there were moments when I had to just actively accept the premise and move on with it. It was okay since there were only 9 episodes, but if we'd had 20, I think it would have been too much.

The Performances

Bae Suzy as "smoking idol" Lee Doo-na. Whatever they paid Suzy, it wasn't enough. She was willing to put her dignity on the line to get a good performance. There are like three other idol / actors that maybe could have made this script work, and I still think she would have beaten them out if they had open casting. I know there are people who loved her in Start-up, but this is the performance from Suzy that I'll remember most.

Yang Se-jong as "Gary Stu" Lee Won-jun. I really want to read the webtoon just to figure out how many liberties the TV show took with this character. I liked this actor in Still 17, and I enjoyed his performance here. I liked how this was (in some ways) a gender-flipped version of the sweet caretaker love interest girlfriend that you'll find in so many other forms of media. I just had trouble believing that guy could grab as much attention as he did in the real world.

Shin Ha-young as "Fake High School Girlfriend" Kim Jin-joo. The actor did a good job with what she was given, and I liked the fact that she's the same age as the two leads, but the character was just not given enough to do in the story. In a longer drama (with maybe a different actress like Roh Yoon-seo) they would have made her a viable option for Won-jun. As it is, we spent 1/3 of her time dealing with her backstory (which was mostly just to make Won-jun look good), and 1/3 of it having her pine after Won-jun and ultimately get dumped. It just felt like a waste.

Park Se-wan as "Fake Grade School Girlfriend" Choi I-ra. The actor was entertaining as heck in this show. I liked her love-line in the background and she brought some good moments of comedy to the show. But the character definitely felt like something from a webtoon (for good and bad).

Kim Sun-young as Doo-na's mother. I'm always happy to see her on my screen, but why didn't they have her do more? It's a waste of top notch talent. She could have been a menacing record executive, or the fun landlady who messes with (and secretly looks after) the young cast. If they were gonna cast her, they should have been given more than a few scenes where she yells at Doona and steals all her money (off screen). What a pity.

Everyone else. They managed to bring in alot of extras and fun little side characters that made the show feel bigger than it was, and I enjoyed that.

TL; DR:

This show is all mood and very little plot. If you like the first episode or so, then you'll probably like the rest of it. Otherwise, you might want to skip it.

Can't Get Caught! XXX is Kaisoo

I haven’t post in a year but now I have a Kaisoo related and fully delusional theory. 

I believe that Can't Get Caught! XXX a webtoon by author Lee (available on Lezhin) is based on Kaisoo. 

The main characters are Seo Jungwoo and Eun Saeun who are childhood friends. SaEun is from a small town but now he lives in Seoul and works as comic artist who writes erotic BL. The main character on his BL are him and Jungwoo, of course.

The evidence.

1. Height and skin tone contrast, also the short one is the hyung.

2. Peaches, we all know who Jongin was singing about. 

3.Jungwoo has a nephew who looks just like him

4. Jungwoo playing football with Ks shirt number

5. They have almost the same birthday

after having read the entirety of the webtoon, including the special episodes and even some interviews, i can say confidently that KS did /not/ warrant the rot that took over some ppl's brain. it is not a romance. yes, there are some romantic elements but there is not a single chapter in this story that will let you forget that there is smth inherently wrong with what's happening. and even when It get sweet it doesn't last bc, well, /it's not meant to./ at its core, it's a story abt abuse, the twisted relationships it breeds, the legacy it passes on and how differently victims can turn out. ofc that's my v generous, philosophical, good-faith interpretation bc the author is a straight woman and just like so many others of her kind she cannot be trusted to handle gay men and gay sex without fetishising it in the process. and that's ofc without mentioning the rape, the incest, and the name-dropping of bpd ("borderlines sweetie, i'm so sorry. i'm so sorry that a ugly ass bitch like this would even say that---") for no damn good reason only to just perpetuate negative stereotypes abt an already v stigmatised mental disorder :D we love making things worse.

it was entertaining to me, I'll give it that. would i recommend? absolutely not. i think we'd all be better off not knowing abt this toon.

am i being too negative? alright imma say smth nice... i liked the ending. not bc it ends ok i legit do like the ending. it was tragic but fitting. and the abuser dies a most painful death.

oh is that not positive enough? well here's another review no one's ever made before: foot fetishists will have a riot reading this thing!

My dad: Wow, you seem to be learning a lot about Japanese and Korean culture and the language. Why is that?

Me:*watches only sub anime, reads BL yaoi and regular manga, mostly learning from reading BJ Alex, Cherry Blossoms after Winter, killing stalking, painter of the night, and Walk on Water*

Me:...

Me: I've always wanted to go to Japan!

[braceletofteeth]

But do we make of the fact that we have a Min Ji Eun in "Killing Stalking" and "Strangers from Hell" and in both series she comes between the scrawny dude and his jacked psychopath boyfriend?😬

who is this min jieun chick that managed to piss off two manhwa authors
