AU where the entire Sung family are hunters:

- Sung Il-hwan as an S-Rank.

- Sung Jin-woo, formerly an E-Rank, but now an S-Rank because of the system.

- Park Kyung-hye as an A-Rank healer (awakened after she woke up from eternal sleep).

- Sung Jin-ah as a B-Rank ranger/support.

Chapter 15 when MC called Jinwoo is hilarious. I imagine that when the two get to the point in the story where they're in a relationship He would be so so scared whenever MC would be angry and go "Hunter Sung Jinwoo" bshsusjshhhhshw

EXACTLY! Just imagine:

_____

At a casual family gathering at the Sung household, the atmosphere is light-hearted, filled with chatter and laughter. The living room was always bustling this time around.

"Hunter Sung Jinwoo."

The moment your voice cut through the air; everyone froze. The temperature seemed to drop, and even the shadows lurking nearby tensed.

You stood in the center, arms crossed, eyes narrowed.

Your husband, Sung Jinwoo—the strongest being alive, Shadow Monarch, defeater of countless enemies—gulped audibly.

"Y-yes, my love?"

The rest of the family quickly made their exit.

---

From a safe distance, the Sung family members observe the scene.

Park Kyung-Hye folded her arms, nodding approvingly. "That's my daughter-in-law."

Sung Il-Hwan sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Dear, do you think we should...?"

Jinho scratched his head in confusion. "By the way, why does Noona call Hyung ‘Hunter’ when she’s mad?"

Kyung-Hye shook her head knowingly, smiling. "She’s got it under control."

"Beats me," Jinah replied. "Been that way since forever. Guess it's their thing.” She looked down and cooed, “Isn’t that right?”

“Baba!”

“Mm-Mama…”

---

Meanwhile, deep in the shadow realm, the shadow soldiers exchanged nervous glances, silently praying for their master. Silence reigned.

Munch. Munch.

All heads turned toward a certain silver butterfly, lounging in the air in her human form.

The shadows blinked.

Trick raised an eyebrow, mouth full of popcorn, like a chipmunk. "What?"

Beside her, her siblings continue the tea party, albeit their attention never left the system’s broadcasting screen. Red hummed, "The drama this time is rich."

---

You leveled Jinwoo with a final glare and deliver the verdict. "No cuddles for a week."

His face crumpled in horror. "Nae sarang! Anything but that!"

You spin on your heel and walked off, your pleading husband following right behind. "Next time, think before you leave the laundry undone, again."

---

Like a film reel snapping to a halt, you woke up with a start. The gentle flutter of your butterflies circling above, their soft hums a soothing melody.

"A dream...?" you murmured groggily, blinking at the sunlight filtering through the curtains. A lingering scent of roses in the air.

Red landed on your nose, silent greetings brushing against your mind.

"Good morning,"

What was I dreaming about again?

May you enjoy this small treat :)

Happy reading, everyone! <3

Random TCF Thought - Betting Pool

Whenever I'm reading a fic about the whole transmigration reveal and Heni!KRS and the rest of Team 1 are in the room (now that I think about it, most has Heni!KRS giving the explanation first which makes sense since KRS!Cale needs to be handheld into explaining himself), I imagine Jang Sejong raising both hands in the air and screaming loud enough for Earth 2 and maybe a few worlds next over to hear, "FUCK YEAH, I WON THE POOL!!! KOREAN BBQ ON ME, FAM!!!"

Why?

Cuz ever since Heni!KRS came back from his week-long personal leave, it's like he's become another person altogether, and almost everyone noticed the change and is hella curious as to why.

As a result, people got to theorizing. Some say that it's because of all the assassins sent to eliminate him. Others say it's an elaborate April Fool's prank, even though April 1st is a long way's off. Many more are saying that it's because he's actually seriously thinking about retiring.

Eventually, the debates as to the reason why got so heated that a betting pool was made.

Jung So Hoon offered up that he might have had a head injury that went unnoticed.

Park Kyung Ho thinks that he's going through a mid-life crisis.

Agent Cha just thinks he's finally snapped after all the bullshit he went through.

Kim Min Ah wants to be optimistic and say that he's become more open with his feelings because of his niece.

Even Director Ma got in on the pool and offered up that he's only being a little shit now because Heni!KRS has always aimed for his position in the Company and has finally set off his decade long plan to usurp his status.

Then there are troll entries in the pool. A drunken bet gone wrong. Aliens had probed him. The Unseen Gods have chosen him as our messiah to our world. Purposefully getting fired so he can be a farmer. The Illuminati replaced him with a clone. The ghost of Lee Soo Hyuk has possessed him. The deceased spirits of his niece's parents transmigrated into Heni!KRS in order to take care of her. The Giant Spaghetti Monster got bored and wanted to sew chaos. They're all starring in a hidden camera show.

Meanwhile, Jang Sejong picked the most outlandish reason that came off the top of his head. Bodysnatcher.

Who knew the newbie was right?

[eru-vande]

My bestie and I just made a list of people we want to see as Suchwita's guests 😭

G-Dragon (I know almost nonexistent chances but fangil's heart is fangirling and I thought if GD is going down the show path with Kim Tae Ho maybe Suchwita????? Taeyang please talk to him if needed 🙏🏻)

Psy, obviously! Why and how he still wasn't a guest????

Jackson Wang, cause they're low-key friends and I love him (I mean he's Joon's friend so yeah!)

Jessy, cause JESSY

Hwasa, the same reason

Zico, cause he's badass and block-b is about to comeback next year! (And they definitely will talk about that bts vs block b performance)

Bang Chan cause fanboy™️ and generally is a great guy

Someone from BP? Cause imagine the fandoms having a panic attack???

Cha Eun Woo, cause JK's friend and overall a fucking mega star

Someone from TWICE, cause duh??? TWICE

Lee Jung Jae or Gong Yoo (again, almost nonexistent chances but let us dream)

Lee Yi Kyung, cause we love him and they'll talk about Run Seokjin!

The Rose, cause I think it's a badass idea to have a k-rock band as a guest and they have a feat already!

Park Hyo Shin, cause he's a musical theatre legend? And also a Tae's friend 👉🏻👈🏻

Kdramas I have watched

126. The Judge from Hell

I saw the trailer for this show and immediately knew I would like it. I watched this show as it aired and found myself impatiently waiting for new episodes.

I loved the fantasy aspect of this show, the romance, not so much. It felt very rushed but I guess it was needed for Justitia's character development.

The comedy was on point, I loved the dark humour and Justitia's scenes with Man-do and Mi-ja were perfection.

But my absolute favourite thing in this show was when Justitia punished the criminals, it was extremely satisfying ♥️ The way she made the criminals go through everything they had done to their victims 👏👏👏 Being sentenced to prison can not compare. Now this is how revenge should be done!

Special mention for Yang Kyung-won, his performance was incredible!

I have to admit, I was not a fan of Park Shin-hye based on the other shows I have seen her in but she changed my mind now. I absolutely loved her in this show, she was SO good!

Another thing that impressed me in this show was the last episode, it was not rushed at all. And even better, I was not expecting them to show us what happened to all the victims so that was an excellent surprise. The show did have an open ending but we can just leave it to our imaginations. I don't think a second season is needed.

Highly recommending this show!

Songs for Solo Leveling Ships Pt. 1

(Because I can guarantee I'm making another part)

Inspired by @manawari's post about ships and songs

Choibaek:

(I have an endless amount of songs for this ship, but we'll start with two here for now)

I promise it's not just because of the title- "You burnt that bridge A million times, a million tries You play with fire" I headcanon that Choi Jong-In is more open about his feelings than Baek Yoon-ho (though both still pine for each other without officially confessing). So every time Jong-In tries to get closer to Yoon-Ho, Yoon-Ho distances himself ("burns that bridge") because he's lost (or almost lost if we're being delusional here) Eun-Seok and Min Byung-Gyu and doesn't want to be close to anyone else only to lose them. "Every time we touch, my fingers burn I just want that love, don't leave me hurt " I can feel the rush when we ignite 'Cause every time we touch Every time we touch, I feel that fire"

Both of them don't want to get hurt yet can't deny that they have feelings for the other. I do like how the song is on the calmer side, which is how I see their love for each other, despite their arguing (it's probably a coping mechanism to be honest)

"You asked me how I feel, I say nothin' But lately colors seem so bright and the stars light up the night My feet they feel so light I'm ignoring all the signs I keep on frontin', yeah, I stay bluffin' I keep you wonderin', keep you huntin' for my lovin' But I crave us huggin', yeah, I stay stubborn Cause I can't admit that you got all the strings and know just how to tug 'em"

This song could be from either perspective though I personally see from Yoon-Ho's perspective, with Jong-In being able to read Yoon-Ho very well (as seen when Jong-In knew why Yoon-Ho came to the place where Sung Jin-Woo was retesting) while Yoon-Ho's in denial about liking Jong-In.

"I say "f**k you" while I'm thinking of you as my husband"

This line doesn't need an explanation. We all know it's their relationship in one sentence.

Heeseok:

Gotta have at least one Stray Kids song here (it's in English though, so it's okay)

"Got so many questions You seek information No need to be desperate"

Based on the brain rot I had with @manawari, this song is from Eun-seok's perspective. Park Hee-Jin's curious about Eun-Seok and the secrets he's hiding, despite not liking him, and Eun-Seok likes to tease her about it, making her dislike him even more.

"All that I want is you Even if I'm a fool Why do I fall for you? No turning back once we're connected"

Eun-Seok questions the feelings he has for Hee-Jin when he first realizes them, wondering why he likes her and why he wants to be with her. After spending a lot of time overthinking though, he eventually accepts his feelings for her.

Taenoru:

"Boy, you got me hooked onto something Who could say that they saw us coming?"

I see this song from Lim Tae-Gyu's perspective soon after he sparred with Hoshino Minoru during the Jeju arc. His feelings for Minoru probably came out of nowhere (like this ship). I don't think many people expected this ship to be a thing let alone the hunters.

"Spend a summer or a lifetime with me Let me take you to the place of your dreams"

This is mostly referring to their long-distance relationship since despite being in a relationship, they have their responsibilities in their respective guilds and are only able to see each other for part of the year. When they meet up though, that's when they're able to catch up on the things they weren't able to do while apart.

Sungpark:

"I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more"

This song could be from either perspective, but I imagine it from Park Kyung-Hye's, especially with how she was waiting for Sung Il-Hwan. If they had reunited before, I imagine her saying something very similar to these lines to her husband.

"Time stands still Beauty in all she is"

Basically, what happened when Kyung-Hye succumbed to Eternal Sleep. Years passed for her as the world moved on, including her husband being stuck in the gate.

Minlee:

This actually used to be one of my favorite songs a while ago, and I only rediscovered it recently

"Those nights when shadows start to fall And the angels don't answer your call I'll help you chase the dark out Until your doubts begin to fade And your heart sings like a serenade Don't have to be afraid Now"

This song could be from either perspective too, especially with how I imagine Min Byung-Gyu and Lee Ju-hee helping each other with their traumas. For these lines in particular, I imagine one of them comforting the other when something triggered their trauma.

"If lightning ever strikes If tears burn out your flame I'll be your burning light I'll hold your candle in the rain"

Another line referring to how I see the two reassuring each other that they're safe now and how they're there for them. A cute song for a cute ship

[danmeigirl]

Currently Watched :

"Gyeongseong Creature"

I tried to put this off from watching till all the episodes were released but damn, it was too tempting not to!

A little info, Gyeongseong was occasionally used to refer to now Seoul throughout the Joseon period

during the Japanese rule.

Written by Kang Eun-kyung, directed by Chung Dong-yoon and Roh Young-sub.

If you love thriller and horror genre this is for you! Its so well made that the suspense will keep you on your toes, never a dull moment and whats more they have jump scare scenes too 😄.

Cant imagine a more perfect cast 👇🏼

Park Seo Joo and Han So-hee were such a visual treat and their chemistry in this drama was superb even though there's hardly any close love scenes. I thought this was going to be another historical serious drama without any supernatural stuff but they didn't disappoint and there's a well balance of humour and comedy.

Not him falling for her in every episode 🤭

Overall the cinematography, sound, cast, makeup, CGI and the plot gets a 9/10 from me, now waiting for the other half to get released.

Extraordinery attorney Woo

Genre: Legal drama/comedy, feel-good romance

Episodes: 16

Starring: Park Eun-Bin, Kang Tae-Oh, Kang Ki-Young, Joo Jong-Hyuk, Ha Yoon-Kyung

Synopsis: Woo Young-Woo is extremely smart and she also has autism spectrum disorder. She never forgets what she sees, but she lacks in social skills and empathy. Woo Young-Woo begins to work as a trainee lawyer at a large law firm. While working there, she faces prejudice and irrationality against her, but she solves cases with her own unique perspective and grows as a lawyer.

Positives: It's really interesting idea to make this kind of show with an autistic lawyer and show how strong Woo Young-Woo have to be to overcome things that we can't imagine could be a brobkem for someone. I really like the support she gets from (almost) everyone. Also the whales are really a fun element.

Negatives: Not much, maybe just tha fact that the side characters don't have much screentime to develop interesting side plots, but it's probably just me. I like when the side characters have more action.

Conclusion: It's for everyone who enjoys those heartwarming shows that makes you smile. Especially, if you like shows foccused od law and judiciary. Park Eun-Bin is absolutelly killimg it as the autistic attorney Woo. I love her, she is great :)

10 Park Bo Young K-Dramas and K-Movies to Watch Because It’s Her Birthday

The clock marks 12:00 am KST, so now it’s time we celebrate the birthday of the one and only, Park Bo Young! From her infectious smile to her powerhouse performances, Bo Young has captured hearts and imaginations worldwide. So, let’s raise a toast (or a glass of banana milk!) to this incredible actress on her special day.

To celebrate the queen’s birthday to the fullest, why don’t we watch 10 K-Dramas and K-Movies she has gifted us? 

So, without any further delay, let’s get into the list!

5 K-Dramas of Park Bo Young

1. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon

One moment, Bong Soon is tripping over her own feet, a blur of wide eyes and flailing limbs. The next, she’s effortlessly sending grown men flying with a flick of her wrist. Park Bo Young navigates this hilarious contrast with masterful timing, her every pratfall and superhero landing landing with perfect humor. But beneath the laughs lies a vulnerability. We see Bong Soon grapple with the burden of her power, the uncertainty of her future, and the strained relationship with her mother. Park Bo Young portrays these moments with raw emotion, drawing us into Bong Soon’s inner turmoil and making her struggles all the more relatable.

The show’s success hinges on the crackling chemistry between Bong Soon and Ahn Min Hyuk (played by Park Hyun Shik), the CEO she becomes bodyguard for. Park Bo Young’s interactions with her co-star are pure magic, a delightful mix of playful banter and unspoken longing. Their relationship evolves organically, from hesitant trust to unwavering support, and Park Bo Young guides us through every step with a charming sincerity.

Finally, Park Bo Young throws herself into the physical demands of the role. She executes impressive stunts, mastering Bong Soon’s signature throws and takedowns with a believability that elevates the action sequences. Watching her navigate this world of superhuman feats is simply thrilling.

Park Bo Young’s portrayal of Do Bong Soon is a true tour de force. She makes her a character we laugh with, cry with, and ultimately cheer for. With her impeccable comedic timing, emotional depth, and captivating screen presence, Park Bo Young cements her status as one of the most talented actresses of her generation. “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon” is a testament to her brilliance, a must-watch for anyone looking for a laugh, a tear, and a whole lot of heart.

2. Doom at Your service

Park Bo Young dives headfirst into the whirlwind of emotions that is Tak Dong Kyung in “Doom At Your Service.” Her performance is a poignant tapestry woven with threads of quiet despair, desperate hope, and unexpected joy.

But Tak is not one to simply surrender. Park Bo Young masterfully shifts gears as Tak embraces a defiant spirit. Her drunken wish for doom, delivered with a bitter laugh and tear-streaked cheeks, marks a turning point. She throws herself into living, savoring every stolen moment with a newfound appreciation. We see this in the playful glint in her eyes as she embarks on spontaneous adventures, the bittersweet smile as she cherishes fleeting moments with loved ones.

As Myul Mang (played by Seo In Guk), the embodiment of doom, enters Tak’s life, Park Bo Young navigates the complex dance of their relationship with nuanced brilliance. Their interactions are charged with a mix of fear and fascination, vulnerability and defiance. Park Bo Young’s delicate touches, hesitant smiles, and bursts of playful rebellion beautifully counterpoint Myul Mang’s stoic presence. She makes their growing attachment palpable, the unspoken fear of loss adding a poignant layer to their moments of joy.

Park Bo Young’s performance in “Doom At Your Service” is a masterful portrayal of a woman facing the abyss with both despair and defiance. She makes Tak a character we empathize with, cheer for, and ultimately mourn. Her ability to navigate the emotional spectrum of hope and despair within 200 words is a testament to her talent and leaves a lasting impact on the viewers.

Mouse (2021) Ep. 1 Recap

Mouse (Korean: 마우스; RR: Mauseu) is a South Korean drama television series starring Lee Hee-Joon, Lee Seung-Gi, Park Ju-Hyun, and Kyung Soo-Jin. It premiered on tvN on March 3, 2021 and aired every Wednesday and Thursday at 22:30 KST until May 20, 2021.

Mouse imagines a scenerio where psychopaths could feel remorse and guilt for their actions. The story follows Go Moo-Chi as he tries to catch a psychopathic killer. He witnessed a horrific incident as a child and is dealing with the trauma. Together with his younger partner Jeong Ba-Reum, he tries to uncover the truth behind psychopathic behaviour and to answer the question of whether there is a genetic predisposition to psychopathy - and how to act on this knowledge if it could be detected.

EP. 1 The country is struck with terror as news of an unsolved serial killing case spreads. A family of four visits a campsite and tragically falls victim to the serial killer known as Head Hunter. A boy surives the attack and identifies the prime suspect as the killer. Meanwhile, Head Hunter's baby undergoes a gene test to determine potential psychopathic characteristics, and the mother is faced with a difficult decision.

If you want to watch the series for yourself, stop reading! This post contains spoilers to the storyline.

During a visit to the zoo, a classroom of children observed a large black snake in a glass enclosure. One child, who appeared emotionless, secretly released a small rat into the enclosure. The snake immediately attacked the rat, causing the other children to flee in terror. The child who released the rat remained to watch as the snake attempted to catch the rat, but was ultimately bitten in self-defense. The snake shakes off the rat. The rat turns and launches itself at the snake again, its eyes shining red.

Five years later, the same boy enters an empty church to ask an important question of the stained-glass Jesus. He asks, "Do I seem different to you, too? They say it's how I was born. They say I was born different." But no answer comes.

Ten years earlier, a young woman is dropped off by a taxi at the bottom of a steep hill in the middle of a snowstorm. She uses a phone booth to call home and explains that the road was too icy for the taxi, so she will be walking the rest of the way. As she hangs up, she hears a plaintive voice calling out for her. There is a small girl in the road who cries that there was an accident and her father is still in the nearby car. The young woman approached the car. When she opened the door, the driver attacked her. She begged for her life in vain. Nearby, the little girl sobbed at the violent scene.

A week later, a diver discovers the headless body of a young woman in the ocean. The victim has a series of letters and numbers marked on her hand and is identified as the latest victim of the Head Hunter, a serial killer.

In England, a year later, scientist Daniel Lee gave a lecture where he identified a gene present in the DNA of psychopaths, a personality disorder characterized by a lack of empathy for others. Daniel predicted that we will soon be able to predict whether an unborn child might be a murderer based on the presence of this gene.

The president calls Daniel back to Korea to stop the Head Hunter's killing spree. During his speech, Daniel presents his DNA findings, revealing that one percent of people with the psychopath gene become murderers. However, his test has a 99% success rate, with the remaining 1% indicating that the person will be a genius. The genes for genius and psychopath are so similar that it is difficult for Daniel to differentiate between them. Eliminating psychopaths could also mean killing potential geniuses. The question at hand is whether the government can require a mother to have an abortion if the psychopath gene is detected. Ultimately, the proposal is rejected.

That evening, Daniel visits his old friend Han Seo-Joon, whose wife Ji-Eun is heavily pregnant with their first child. Seo-Joon and Ji-Eun are clearly in love, with Seo-Joon doting on Ji-Eun and Ji-Eun returning his affections. However, Daniel feels a bit sad when he sees their wedding photos. This is because Seo-Joon's first love was Daniel's sister, Jennifer, who died seven years ago in a random mugging. When the subject comes up, Seo-Joon appears sad, but Daniel insists that he is thrilled to see Seo-Joon married and happy. Seo-Joon drives Daniel to his hotel and promises to visit him in England soon.

A family of four is traveling through the area. They get briefly lost and ask another driver for directions. They stop at a campground for the night, but unfortunately, the ceiling in the kitchen caved in from the snow, so the campground is closed. Despite this, the family decides to stay and rough it. The father is searching for the mother who is away getting water. He hears his wife crying out. An ominous figure with a knife looms over her as she pleads for her life. Her husband jumps at the attacker and yells for her to run. She races back to their van with their boys, Moo-Won and Moo-Chi, but the van won't start.

The attacker approaches, so she pushes the boys down to hide. She instructs Moo-Won to protect his little brother and hide with him in a cupboard. After uttering a small prayer, she goes out into the night.

The boys hid, but the attacker soon reached the van and attempted to break in. The mother distracted him and led him away from the van, but unfortunately, she was caught and stabbed multiple times. Despite her best efforts, the attacker quickly overpowered her and returned to the van, where the boys were now out of hiding and screaming for their mother. Moo-Won then locked little Moo-Chin into a suitcase and shoved it under a bench before attempting to hide himself. The attacker found Moo-Chi's suitcase first and began breaking it open. Moo-Won remembered his promise to protect his little brother and came out of hiding to lead the attacker out of the van. However, the attacker caught him and repeatedly hit him.

Later that night, Detective Park Doo-Seok was called to the hospital to speak with young Moo-Chi, who was in deep shock. Moo-Won is undergoing surgery due to severe injuries. His parents were murdered, but their bodies have disappeared. Detective Park, whose daughter was also abducted by the Head Hunter years ago, pressures Moo-Chi to identify the killer's face. When Moo-Chi is unable to speak, Detective Park becomes frustrated and scares the little boy even more. As he is being taken away, Moo-Chi sees something that causes him to scream. He points at a picture on the wall and yells, "It's him!"

Ji-Eun wakes up late and finds herself alone in bed. She goes out to search for Seo-Joon. He enters with an armful of firewood. Ji-Eun smiles at the family of snowmen he built in the front yard. Earlier, Seo-Joon had told Daniel that he would terminate the pregnancy if their baby had the psychopathy gene. However, Ji-Eun is uncertain about what she would do. Several police cars suddenly arrive at the driveway. Detective Park orders Seo-Joon's house to be searched and arrests him at gunpoint, growling that he is the Head Hunter. It turns out that the photo that Moo-Chi pointed out as his family's attacker was one of Seo-Joon, who is a neurosurgeon at the hospital.

While Detective Park was obtaining the search warrant, Moo-Chi took a scalpel from a discarded surgical tray and sneaked into the patrol car. In the ensuing confusion, he lunged out of the car and slashed Seo-Joon's face. He attempted to stab Seo-Joon again, but Detective Park intervened, accidentally knocking the head off one of the snowmen. The snowman's head shattered on the ground, revealing a black plastic bag inside. One of the officers peered inside, then dropped it in horror. Moo-Chi sees blood in the snow. He also sees the barrette his mother was wearing, still clipped around a lock of her hair. Ji-Eun witnesses this scene from inside, and the truth hits her like a ton of bricks.

The bodies of Moo-Chi's parents are eventually found in Ji-Eun's greenhouse, furthering the theory that Seo-Joon is the Head Hunter. Despite Detective Park and the families of the deceased being dismayed, Seo-Joon continues to protest his innocence and wish for the real killer to be found. Daniel assures Ji-Eun that Seo-Joon cannot be guilty because he loves her. According to Daniel, psychopaths cannot have love anyone but themselves. However, Ji-Eun confronts Seo-Joon in front of reporters, claiming that she knows he is guilty. She saw him putting the head on the snowman that contained his victim's head, and she even has a picture of proof. Seo-Joon's drops the innocent act, and a flashback reveals that he is the one who killed Moo-Chi's parents. Ji-Eun tearfully asks why he even married her if he can't love her. Seo-Joon sneers and replies, "I guess you could call it my will to reproduce. I needed an offspring. Han Seo-Joon Junior."

Floored, Daniel ran into the police station, grabbed Seo-Joon and flinging him into an interrogation room. He asked Seo-Joon if he killed his sister. Seo-Joon responded emotionlessly that she still hid from him after being stabbed twenty times. He threatened to kill her mother and Daniel if she didn't come out. Seo-Joon laughed at the memory of how she looked when she crawled to him. He snarls that she killed his baby and brags about keeping his promise not to hurt her family. He finishes his story by saying, "The pleading look in her eyes couldn't have been sexier," leaving Daniel sobbing on his knees.

Daniel offers to run a genetic test on Ji-Eun's unborn baby, and she accepts. The results reveal that the baby has the psychopath gene, causing Ji-Eun to panic and demand an abortion. However, Daniel reminds her that she is too far along for that option and suggests they discuss other alternatives. In the hallway, a pregnant woman approaches Ji-Eun. She explains that her husband worked with Daniel in England. To help, she volunteered to have her baby tested. Her husband had told her that their baby was normal, but she found out that he had lied to her because he didn't want to scare her. Sadly, her husband died recently in an accident, and she is now faced with the decision of whether or not to end the pregnancy. The woman informs Ji-Eun that her baby is the only thing she has left of the father, who she believes was a good man. Therefore, she does not think her baby is a psychopath. However, Ji-Eun does not have the same assurance about her baby's father.

Seo-Joon was sentenced to death and spent his time in prison waiting for his sentence to be carried out. Five years later, he read a news article that Daniel had returned to Korea. Seo-Joon mailed two live rats to his former friend. Meanwhile, a little boy name Jae-Hoon also caught a rat to set it free in the snake enclosure at the zoo.

Jae-Hoon's teacher becomes concerned about his mental health when he kills the class rabbit as he wanted to check if it had gained weight or was pregnant. He scratches his arm to shreds, explaining that he is annoyed with the other kids but cannot take it out on them, so he takes it out on himself. Jae-Hoon's teacher mentions that the other kids are absent. Jae-Hoon becomes annoyed by the way she looks at him, as if he's weird. The teacher calls in Jae-Hoon's stepfather and informs him that a recent IQ test shows that Jae-Hoon is well above genius level. However, she expresses concern about his mental state and recommends therapy. Unfortunately, stepdad takes offense and reacts by dragging Jae-Hoon into an alley after school and slapping him hard. He then calls Jae-Hoon's mother to complain that Jae-Hoon humiliated him.

Jae-Hoon has two younger siblings (Jae-Min and Jae-Hee). Jae-Hee appears to have a mental disability. One day, Jae-Min catches Jae-Hoon pouring ammonia into his stepfather's fish tank. He pleads with Jae-Hoon not to kill his dad's favourite fish, but Jae-Hoon ignores him and continues. Afterward, Jae-Hoon takes his stepfather's dog, Choco, warns Jae-Min not to tell anyone. Upn stepdad's arrival home, he discovers his fish has passed away and Jae-Min is hesitant to speak. However, Jae-Hee repeats her brothers' conversation verbatim. Stepdad proceeds to search for Jae-Hoon and upon arriving at the park, he discovers his dog, Choco, floating lifeless in the pond. After finding Jae-Hoon, he drags him home and physically assaults him while calling him and "evil bastard".

Later, a bruised Jae-Hoon invites Jae-Min to visit Choco's grave in a nearby wooded area. Jae-Min was praying when Jae-Hoon pushed him into a hole that he had dug. Jae-Hoon accused Jae-Min of tattling, but Jae-Min denied it. Despite this, Jae-Hoon insisted that Jae-Min needed to be punished and began shoveling dirt into the hole. Fortunately, their mother arrives just in time. She pushes Jae-Hoon to the ground, helps Jae-Min out of the hole, and then begins to choke Jae-Hoon while telling him to die. Jae-Hoon looks up at his mother.

Jae-Hoon manages to escape and goes to the church where we first saw him. He asks Jesus if he's truly different and if he was genuinely born a monster. In the voiceover, he expresses his prayer to not become a monster.

However, fifteen years later, Jesus had never answered his prayer, and he ended up becoming a killer. In the flashback, Jae-Hoon stands over his stepfather's body while Jae-Min and Jae-Hee hide. He calmly removes the knife from the man's chest and slowly walks up the stairs where his mother waits.

BUT the husband is lee yi kyung😭 i love him in waikiki and the one with infinite's L drama... (omg i forgot, but the historical one!) and in my mind he's the icon for total comedy, so to see him cheating on park min young... i really can't imagine anything🥹 oooh the husband is na in woo!! i know him from mr queen before! i think i'll give it a try! thank you for the recs cat anon!!🥹

HAHAHAHHA omg that's a thought but i don't have the kind of bravery to publish books🥹 but it's sooo sweet that you will AAAAAA cat anon🫶🏻

OOOSMAOD that's so freaking cute!!!😭 that's sooo him alright, to give a hat for his cat ughhhh and what would i do to keep a cat as well, alas my parents are strict people who don't permit pets🥲

and of course! if i were gojo's cat, i'll scratch him to shreds too just because😈

Park Hee-jin strikes me so much of a big sister type. Yes, she's pretty and cute and kind, but once she gets serious, her mind/instincts is her ultimate weapon and will protect someone with all her might. To her, survival must come first and fight when there are no other options.

Han Song-yi? Considering that the anime gave Song-yi green eyes, I will be losing my mind once she and Hee-jin are onscreen together. They'd look very alike! Hee-jin will definitely guide Song-yi on being a hunter and no one can tell me otherwise.

Sung Jin-woo? I live for the friendship and sisterly bond! Sure, he's stronger than her, but will that stop Hee-jin? Nope — I imagine Jin-woo seeing his mom in Hee-jin, especially when she resembles Kyung-hye a little, and it makes him want to see her as a sister. Hee-jin checking on him every time and reminding him to be careful, which Jin-woo often responds in a playful way.

Sung Jin-ah? Well, if Song-yi and Jin-woo can be close with Hee-jin, Jin-ah can too!

And I'd like to add Lee Ju-hee here as well. I've brainstormed a lot between her and Hee-jin, which made me realize how great their dynamic could've been. They're both B-Ranks and Hee-jin will do anything to keep Ju-hee safe; she'll help her get through her demons and give her the encouragement she needs.

Hwarang Post Ending Thoughts

So after rewatching Hwarang, I've been having these post-ending thoughts. What happens after King Jinheung’s rise to power? Apart from the finale episode scenes, I can’t help but think of extended possibilities. So here it goes in my imagination.

Prince Hwi-kyung is re-acknowledged as a member of the royal family, and his name has been added to the historical memoirs, along with his son Dog-Bird (Moo-Myung). They crown him an official prince as well, making Ah-ro a princess by marriage later on.

That scene where Park Ban-ryu and Kim Soo-yeon were caught by her father needs an extension. I imagine him saying that it’s alright; he’s not expecting anything from her (marriage-wise) because her brother Soo-ho will soon become a prince, and despite what happened to Ban-ryu’s clan, he will eventually become an officer because of his service to the king as a hwarang, so she'll retain her lifestyle as a noble.

Despite the fact that the character who played Soo-yeon (Lee Da-in) is problematic now, I really liked this couple's story on the series, much more than the main leads (because the sibling troupe is eww).

Soo-ho kept brushing off Princess Suk-myung (the king’s sister) before saying she’s nothing like her mother, whom he loved secretly. He used to be such a flirt because his eyes were set on someone he would never reach. His loyalty to the royal family and his overall cool personality earn the princess’ attention. He in turn realizes how the princess is like her mother in many ways and gets attracted to her that way.

But since her personality hasn't changed, she'll always be competing with Ah-ro on life event progress such as engagement, wedding, honeymoon, pregnancy, raising kids, and so on.

I could include the other characters, but these are the only ones I imagined with post-ending scenarios.

The Impact of Green Spaces on Wellbeing: Integrating Natural Environments for Enhanced Health

With the increasing prevalence of urban living, a significant number of individuals are finding themselves encompassed by brick and steel, rather than the presence of forests and flora. Nevertheless, within the busy and noisy urban environment, green areas provide a refreshing and symbolic respite. These natural habitats not only offer a break from city life but also offer several health advantages. This blog article explores the substantial influence of green spaces on our overall well-being and promotes community gardening as a potent approach to enhance both mental and physical health.

The Importance of Green Spaces for Wellbeing:

Reducing anxiety:

Exposure to natural environments has been shown to have a substantial impact on reducing stress levels by decreasing the production of cortisol, a key hormone associated with stress (Ewert & Chang, 2018).

2. Improves reasoning abilities:

Engaging in activities in natural environments can enhance cognitive functions such as focus, recall, and imagination. Nature possesses rejuvenating properties that aid in revitalising the cognitive system (Rhee et al., 2023).

3. Facilitates the growth and progress of children's development:

Children that engage in play within natural environments undergo heightened levels of physical activity, acquire improved interpersonal abilities, and enjoy higher mental growth. The presence of nature fosters the development of creative thinking and the ability to solve challenges (Brown, 2023).

4. Promotes physical exercise:

Green spaces offer natural environments for engaging in exercise including strolling, running, and cycling, which are crucial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle (Loureiro & Veloso, 2017).

Wellbeing Intervention: Community Gardening:

A highly efficient and captivating approach of maximising the advantages of green places is by means of community gardening. Community gardening is the practice of cultivating and managing a garden alongside with fellow people of your community.

Advantages of Community Gardening:

Facilitates interpersonal relationships:

Community gardens serve as communal areas where individuals from various age groups and cultures gather, promoting a feeling of fellowship and inclusion (BUILDING a COMMUNITY GARDEN in YOUR PARK: Opportunities for Health, Community, and Recreation Grow Your Park Initiative, n.d.).

2. Promotes psychological well-being:

Study conducted by the I. Panțiru et al., 2024 has demonstrated that engaging in gardening activities can alleviate symptoms associated with depression and enhance one's mental well-being. This is attributed to the cultivation of a feeling of purpose and the establishment of a consistent habit.

Initiating a Community Gardening Initiative:

Locate an appropriate parcel of land that is suited for cultivating plants. It could refer to an empty plot of land, a specific area within a park, or a facility used by the community. Assemble a collective of persons who are interested and engaged in your neighbourhood. Determine the specific plant species you wish to cultivate. Consider the fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers that flourish in the specific climatic conditions of your area. Acquire basic supplies such as equipment, seeds, soil, and means of accessing water. Seek out local organisations that could help or funding for community gardens. Create a gardening timetable that is suitable for all individuals. Consistent upkeep is crucial for a thriving garden. Gardening encompasses both the process and the end result. Take pleasure in the moments you spend outside, the new connections you make, and the sense of fulfilment that comes from cultivating your own food.

A woman loses her phone on her way back to her countryside childhood home. Once there, she connects an old landline in hopes of finding her lost mobile, only to start receiving weird calls that seem to be from 20 years ago.

On the other side of the receiver is a girl who seems to be in danger. The Call is thrilling, sometimes scary, but also brilliantly shot, and its plot is so expertly woven. It’s a proper movie-night movie.

Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood (2022)

Genre: Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Drama, Family, History, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Science Fiction

Actor: Bill Wise, Brian Villalobos, Buzz Aldrin, David DeLao, Glen Powell, Holt Boggs, Jack Black, Janis Joplin, Jennifer Griffin, Jessica Brynn Cohen, John F. Kennedy, Josh Wiggins, Keslee Blalock, Larry Jack Dotson, Lee Eddy, Milo Coy, Mona Lee Fultz, Neil Armstrong, Nick Stevenson, Richard Nixon, Samuel Davis, Walter Cronkite, Zachary Levi

Director: Richard Linklater

Rating: PG-13

Narrated by the familiar voice of Jack Black, Apollo 10 ½ is a throwback story told with admirable specificity and imagination. Black plays a grown-up Stan, who looks back on his younger years with a mix of fondness and wonder: how did they get away with the things they did then? American suburbia in the 1960s was both loose and conservative, caught between a generation holding on to the reins of the earlier century and one eager to launch into the next.

Stan, as the youngest child of a big, rowdy family, gives us a charming look into the times, as well as a projection of his own fascination: Apollo 11 and the space age. He inserts himself in this monumental narrative and generously brings us along in his fantasy. Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether Stan’s recruitment by NASA is actually fact or fiction, but that’s part of the fun, especially since Stan himself doesn’t seem to mind at all.

They Cloned Tyrone (2023)

Genre: Action, Comedy, Mystery, Science Fiction

Actor: Adam Cronan, Al-Teron, Austin Freeman, Charity Jordan, David Alan Grier, David Shae, J. Alphonse Nicholson, Jamie Foxx, Jason Burkey, Jason Louder, John Boyega, Joshua Mikel, Kiefer Sutherland, Leon Lamar, Megan Sousa, Ryan Dinning, Shariff Earp, Swift Rice, Tamberla Perry, Teyonah Parris, Trayce Malachi

They Cloned Tyrone is a genre-bending gem. It combines Deep State conspiracy theories with sci-fi and social commentary, all while looking like a futuristic 1970s Blaxploitation film. It’s outrageous good fun and pleasing to look at (here is a film that knows how to properly light Black actors), but there are times when it feels too far fetched. The science can get wonky and its commentary on gentrification lacking, but all is forgiven when you have such a strong trio of leads. One of the smartest things They Cloned Tyrone does is pair Boyega with Teyonah Parris, who plays the call girl Yo-yo, and Jamie Foxx, who plays the pimp Slick Charles. They have a fun-loving no-nonsense chemistry about them that makes them easy to attach to and root for. They’re also just very funny, which might be expected of Foxx but it comes as a pleasant surprise for Parris, whose popular turns in Mad Men and WandaVision prove that she’s been severely underutilized as a comic.

Snowpiercer (2014)

Genre: Action, Drama, Mystery, Science Fiction

Actor: Adnan Haskovic, Alison Pill, Chris Evans, Clark Middleton, Dana Green, Ed Harris, Emma Levie, Ewen Bremner, Go Ah-sung, Griffin Seymour, Jamie Bell, Jim High, John Hurt, Joseph Bertót, Kendrick Roger Ong, Kenny Doughty, Ko A-sung, Ko Asung, Luke Pasqualino, Luna Sophia Bar-Cohen, Magda Weigertová, Marcanthonee Reis, Octavia Spencer, Parry Shen, Paul Lazar, Peter Hallin, Robert Russell, Sean Connor Renwick, Song Kang-ho, Stephen Park, Steve Park, Tilda Swinton, Tomáš Dianiška, Tómas Lemarquis, Tyler John Williams, Vlad Ivanov

Snowpiercer is an under-the-rader post-apocalyptic thriller that offers the grittiness that many times only Asian cinema may achieve. South Korean director Joon-ho Bong forces audiences to forget that Chris Evans was ever a Marvel superhero, as he leads a revolt of his fellow “low-class” citizens against the self-appointed gentry in a train that contains all remaining members of the planet. With immersive environments and a layered script, this film melds together social commentary and moral discourse in a visually arresting and vastly entertaining package.

Okja (2017)

Actor: Ahn Seo-hyun, Ahn Seong-bong, Amber Snow, An Seo Hyun, Andreas Fronk, Ann Evans, Barbara Wallace, Bettina Skye, Boyd Ferguson, Byun Hee-bong, Byun Heebong, Carl Montoya, Cho Wan-ki, Choi Hee-seo, Choi Woo-shik, Colm Hill, Cory Gruter-Andrew, Daniel Henshall, David Bloom, Devon Bostick, Eha Urbsalu, Erik De Boer, Faith Logan, Giancarlo Esposito, Han Yi-jin, J.

Director Bong Joon-ho (Snowpiercer) does something quite amazing with the $50 million budget Netflix gave him: he makes a simplistic movie. But man, is it good. Okja tells the story of a “super pig” experiment that sends genetically modified pigs to top farmers around the world. In Korea, a farmer’s granddaughter forms a special relationship with one of these super pigs (Okja). When the company who originally ran the experiment want their pig back (performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and Tilda Swinton) – the two find an ally in an animal advocacy group led by Jay (Paul Dano). This is a straightforward movie, but nevertheless it is entertaining and full of thought-provoking themes and performances from an excellent cast.
