My 2024 in Kdramas

I'll try to be coherent. Try being the operative word.

A Shop for Killers - the premise definitely didn't let me down. Honestly it's kind of nice to see older actors kind of branching out of the regular romance/melo kind of shows and LDW was a great choice to play (spoiler!) the samchon who runs the titular shop for killers. Really do hope they announce a season 2 for this!

Goblin: The Lonely and the Great God - the man, the myth, the legend. How could I call myself a kdrama fan without having watched Goblin? The bromance really sucked me in. And the second leads deserved more screen time! That brings me to my next watch -

Touch Your Heart - what can I say? This show was a pure fanfic for the fans wanting more of the second couple from Goblin. And boy, did they deliver. Sometimes it's good to watch shows that don't take themselves too seriously.

Be Melodramatic - if you don't like character driven shows, this probably isn't for you. This is one of those shows that you just need to take in slowly and immerse yourself in the world of the leads to truly appreciate the joys and the struggles that they go through. There aren't enough women-centric shows in kdrama land and this is one of those shows that treat its FLs with respect and give them agency and character that most shows can't muster up. I'll definitely say Thirty Nine was guilty of trauma porn, but Be Melodramatic is a shining example of what you shouldn't do with women centric plotlines.

Mr. Queen - LAUGHING RIOT. Went into the show knowing nothing more than the bare minimum of the isekai plot and it was worth it. SHS is a master of physical comedy and I couldn't think of anyone else who could've done justice to the character of a 21st century man (who is also a womaniser) who finds himself trapped in the body of a 19th century Joseon era queen.

Marry My Husband - Finally, Park Min-young in a role that's different from her usual pony tail wearing, cutely dressed FL! But the true scene stealers were the SFL and SML and their crazy antics. If it weren't for the post ep 10 slump with the crazy ex girlfriend, this show would've figured among my top shows for this year. Which brings me to -

PERFECT MARRIAGE REVENGE - they say every masterpiece has its own cheap copy. But which one is the real masterpiece here? PMR is pure makjang deliciousness without a single dull moment (something MMH couldn't say). This show does what the title says without digressing from the topic at hand. It also subverted the classic trope of evil MIL, which I loved! All in all, a WILD ride.

Queen of Tears - Getting into the "big" shows of the year, QoT promised everything but did it deliver? I caught this show as it was airing and this blog features multiple rant posts as the show progressed solely for its digression from the promised plotline of the resolution of the Baekhong marriage, instead focusing on the succession drama and the mommy issues of the villain. This show devolved into a makjang that neither delivered on the soap operaness nor gave us proper closure on the main couple. Never have I ever felt so cheated by a show that I had such high hopes for 🥲

Lovely Runner - THE dark horse show of the year, the post QoT sleeper hit. I don't like high school dramas as a rule, and the initial GIFs were kind of offputting to me because of the high school setting - but I admit I fell into peer pressure because everyone was raving about it everywhere. And i simply had to check it out. And then I was glued to the show. Bonus: SUN-JAE YAA and a killer soundtrack!

Revenant - Horror isn't my thing but Kim Tae-ri very much is so I came for her, stayed for the plot. Loved the Korean folklore and mythology in this one, and the tightly woven plot. The few sleepless nights after watching the show were worth it xD

The Story of Park's Marriage Contract - boo, I just remembered I watched the show at the beginning of the year yet it wasn't memorable enough. Lee Se-young is wonderful as always, although the ML was kind of meh. Don't think I cared too much about the show for it to leave any kind of impression. Ambivalent.

When The Phone Rings - object of my affection and obsession currently. My Tumblr right now says everything i want to about this show 😂

Fated To Love You/You are My Destiny - extremely questionable premise that leads to the most delicious melodrama + romance + comedy + angst. I think this show has a whole lot of over the top moments, nevertheless it doesn't miss a beat with the emotional ones. Sometimes you need good old soapy angst in life and the leads did a great job of switching to some truly heartbreaking scenes after bizarre comedy. The ML's laugh deserves a starring role in this show, lmao

DNFs of the Year (watched more than episode and dropped)

Bad and Crazy - what was the point after the villain storyline was resolved? It was really good for the first 8-ish episodes but kind of lost momentum after that.

Strong Girl Do Bong-soon - This show has some loyal fans but I somehow didn't feel compelled to go back.

The Judge from Hell - I might go back to this show when the time is right. I never really liked Park Shin-hye but this show changed my opinion of her! The blood and the gore was getting a bit much for me, but I could be persuaded to watch the remaining when the time is right.

Because This is My First Life - I watched the original jdrama that this show is based off on this year and wanted to watch the kdrama too. I preferred the faster pacing and the economy of the We Got Married as a Job as compared to the long drawn out scenes of the kdrama. Got bored, hence DNF.

My Sweet Mobster - idk why I never felt like finishing this show, I watched 14 episodes in one go, came to the 15th episode and realised I just didn't want to watch it then, didn't watch it ever since. lol

Behind Your Touch - this show has one of the most bizarre plots ever thought of and it kept me hooked for a few episodes, I don't know why I never went back. Maybe I'll pick it up again someday.

Red Swan - Rain was truly doing all the hard work in this kdrama plot from 2014. The FL couldn't act her way out of a ditch and it was really offputting.

Healer - Look, I get it. Everyone's obsessed with this show and what's not to love about PMY as a plucky young journalist? One of those shows I could go back to one day, but not this year 😂

Love Next Door - Again a show with much potential but threw it out of the window with terminal illness. Maybe people just can get burnt out because of work and not a life threatening illness. Didn't want to relive QoT trauma again so DNFed.

Nevertheless - too much mess.

The World of the Married - too much makjang. This doctor be violating the Hippocratic oath on the regular.

Sky Castle - hits too close to home with academic pressure.

#kdrama #too many shows to tag #sure do hope i remembered them all #pretty sure there are more in the DNF list lol #queen of tears #lovely runner #when the phone rings

A Rose by any other name…

I’m so thrilled to receive admin’s choice this week! I do recommend voting this Thursday @ 10am est to Friday at 10pm est for next week’s prompt! If you’d like to read the first story I wrote for this prompt which included Neville and the Hogwarts Greenhouses I’ve added it to the AO3 link. Here’s the one I submitted -

The clink of the cells at the DMLE snicked into the air as Draco stepped forward. There was Harry, his red auror robes wearing him in the way they always seemed to be and leaning every ounce of his weight on the bars.

“Potter.”

“Malfoy.”

Harry swept his hand towards the back, falling into step as Draco’s footfalls took the echoey corridor towards the witch that awaited them. There she sat, knees drawn up to her chest. The mane of her mother displaying the colour of her father’s but all her. Blue eyes that welled with tears lifted to meet Draco’s own and his lips twitched, throttling a smile.

“Rose.”

“Draco.” The eyes sliced over and narrowed slightly. “Uncle Harry.”

Harry rucked his hand through his hair and sighed. “Your stepfather has paid your bail and you’re allowed to go now. I do suggest telling your mother before she ferrets it out.”

Draco snorted, rolling his eyes and sighing into the silence.

“Shall we go?”

****

At seven Draco found Rose with an erkling in her bedroom.

“You realise it has to go back to the forest around the manor, don’t you?”

Rose grabbed the two-foot creature with bright yellow eyes and a taste for child-flesh and pushed it behind herself. She squared herself against him just as her mother had so often.

“You can’t tell mum.”

“We can find a way to tell her together.”

And it became a thing.

****

At twelve Draco found Rose riding a broomstick around the neighbour’s house down the lane.

He’d moved in by then and when he’d found his broomstick gone he’d gone looking and found her hurling rotten eggs at the window of a boy who’d been teasing her earlier that day.

“Do we have to tell mum?”

“We can find a way to tell her together.” He’d paused a moment. “We’d never stop her from finding out about the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad anyway.”

****

At fifteen Draco found Rose in the loo and sat on the floor, arranging himself as comfortably as he could on his side of the door before lifting knuckles gracefully to rap against the cedar.

“I’m not coming out.”

“I’m not asking you to.”

The comfortable and familiar silence climbed between them and cuddled before Rose was ready.

“They’re arguing again.”

“I know.”

“My parents need to grow up.”

“At least they both love you to pieces.”

A snicker of a knob before a sad blue eye peered out.

“Are you ready to talk to them? I’m here until you are.” And he waited for her. Patiently.

****

When Rose was nineteen, Draco brought her home from jail.

“I think you’ll find your mother sympathetic.”

Rose snorted and rolled her eyes.

“They love you.”

Rose didn’t respond and shifted her weight uneasily, staring up at a cottage where shadows played against the curtains and her parents waited for an explanation.

“Have I told you that they took turns breaking my nose at Hogwarts? They do agree on some things.”

The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the Additive Manufacturing (AM) market. While disruptions in global supply chains initially posed challenges for material sourcing, the flexibility of AM processes proved beneficial in addressing urgent needs for medical equipment and components. The demand for 3D printing surged during the pandemic, with AM technologies being utilized for the rapid production of ventilator parts, face shields, and other critical supplies. The crisis highlighted the agility of AM in responding to unforeseen challenges and increased awareness of its potential across various industries.

Inquiry Before Buying :

The situation in Ukraine had indirect effects on the Additive Manufacturing (AM) market, primarily through broader geopolitical and economic repercussions. Disruptions in supply chains, especially for metals and other raw materials used in AM processes, were potential concerns. Additionally, uncertainties in global markets may have influenced investment decisions and R&D activities in the AM sector. However, the impact varied depending on the resilience of individual companies and their exposure to the geopolitical developments.

Key Takeaways:

North America Dominated the Market

Geographically, in the Additive Manufacturing market share, the North America region has held a dominant market share of 41% in 2023, Rising government investments and projects in the United States for additive manufacturing have also raised the growth of the market. For instance, to address the challenges in single laser melting (SLM), America Makes awarded GE Global $2.6 million to build an open-source, multi-laser production machine and AM platform. Additionally, in Canada, the rising partnership between research universities in the field of additive manufacturing is also influencing the growth of the market. U.S. is anticipated to lead the global additive manufacturing market with the largest installed base for 3d printer in the world. With such a dominant presence of the 3d printers in the country U.S. is likely to contribute more than one third in the revenue generated by additive manufacturing worldwide.

Metal is the Fastest Growing Segment

In the Additive Manufacturing Market forecast, the Metal segment is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 23.5% during the forecast period. Metals are a better option for 3D printing compared to plastics, as they have more industrial usage. Often the 3D metal printing shows itself to be unique as the new technologies can readily surpass what was offered by traditional processes. In AM of metals a powder feedstock or more rarely a wire is fully melted by the energy input of a laser or electron beam and transformed layer by layer into a solid part of nearly any geometry. The most popular processes for AM of metals are Laser Beam Melting (LBM), Electron Beam Melting (EBM) and Laser Metal. In a survey conducted across the globe, about 23% of the 3D printing materials used are metals. The 3D printing metals segment is also poised to grow as it has a competitive edge over other plastic materials used in 3D Printing. Metal 3D printing is too expensive, furthermore other companies, like Desktop Metal and Markforged, are developing approaches to manufacture affordable metal 3D printers.

Schedule A Call :

Aerospace to Hold Largest Market Share

According to the Additive Manufacturing Market analysis, the Aerospace segment is estimated to hold the largest market share of 34% in 2023, the aerospace and defense industry is a perfect example of how to use additive manufacturing (AM) (commonly referred to as 3D Printing) to produce components that are heavier and lighter than parts manufactured using conventional manufacturing methods. Additive manufacturing or 3D printing has applications in the aerospace industry such as engine compartments, cabin accessories, air ducts among others. NASA researchers are looking into how electroplated SLA parts perform in space. Engineers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center designed brackets that were 3D printed on printers, electroplated, and sent to space aboard a summer 2022 SpaceX commercial resupply services (CRS-25) mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The results could inform how NASA and possibly other aerospace manufacturers may incorporate electroplating and additive manufacturing into potential future product plans.

Ease of Manufacturing Complex Design

he basic physical difference in how objects are made with the additive manufacturing process produces some major functional differences when compared with other traditional manufacturing processes. The most significant of these functional differences is the ability of additive manufacturing to produce complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve using conventional manufacturing methods. These intricate geometries are also stronger and lighter than their conventional counterparts. Additive manufacturing eliminates the additional costs normally associated with creating more complex objects. A highly complex component usually costs much more using conventional methods. This is primarily because conventional fabrication methods rely on the conversion of three-dimensional illustrations into two-dimensional drawings for fabrication, as well as the labor cost of assembling such components. However, regardless of the complexity of a component, the method in additive manufacturing is the same. Thus, no additional cost is incurred for manufacturing complex designs using additive manufacturing.

Buy Now :

Relatively Lower Production Cost for Rapid Manufacturing

The manufacturing companies experience various benefits while using additive manufacturing methods to produce objects. Since the complexity of the component has little or no impact on the manufacturing time and costs, additive manufacturing is ideal for low-cost production as well as small and (very) large series. Design changes can be implemented quickly at a low cost. Metal structures are made up of atom by atoms in additive manufacturing, as opposed to subtractive approaches like chemical etching. As a consequence, almost every piece of metal is utilized during the production process, with almost no waste of material and reducing material wastage. When using additive manufacturing, all of the extra features that are needed for the assembly, such as fasteners, brazing, or welding, can be omitted. Thus, additive manufacturing also reduces assembly costs.

Difficulty in Producing Large Single Parts

Even if additive manufacturing were to dramatically increase production speed and volume performance, it would still be unable to manufacture large single parts. This is yet another major challenge confronting additive manufacturing researchers as they pursue new applications for 3D printing technology. Arc-based wire feed metal AM was chosen as the best process to produce large metal parts. While metal powder bed printers are available commercially, they are not currently capable of producing large-scale metal parts. Therefore, arc-based wire feed technology provided the most cost-effective solution. The building envelope for current additive manufacturing technologies is limited, meaning even larger components that can be printed must still be assembled by mechanical joining or welding.
