Queen of Tears really just took a sharp nosedive off a very steep cliff these past 3 episodes. I didn't post anything about the last two episodes since there was nothing to say. I've had issues with some aspects of the drama that I could overlook because Hae In and Hyun Woo were top tier stuff. The break down of a marriage of two people who loved one another finding their way back to each other through medical crisis was so good. It didn't even need the Eun Sung or the family business stuff (it would have made a tighter, more coherent drama but I digress). But the last 3 or so episodes I've lost all patience. We've had:

Hae In's miraculous brain surgery which required no shaving of the hair, which I can overlook because it is a drama. Her memory loss too, as again, it's a drama and it's been hinted at since the beginning. I'm not necessarily thrilled with it but it's fine.

There is no way that Eun Sung would have suddenly become her legal guardian just because Hyun Woo left. It makes NO SENSE. Hae In was clearly there with Hyun Woo. They met with her doctors. There would have been forms and documents signed, with appropriate translators for any language barriers. Eun Sung would not have been able to waltz in and say I am her guardian now. I'm fairly confident of this even without knowing German law.

Hae In's family had people in Germany following her for...reasons??? They did nothing to protect her from Eun Sung? They didn't go to her when Hyun Woo was carted off? To be fair I was kinda fast forwarding part so maybe I missed something.

Hyun Woo's arrest, extradition back to South Korea, finding the evidence to break his case, trail, release and then arrest of the real perpetrator all took place within a month. Which seems absurdly fast. Also they found and arrested the hired hit man but not who hired him??

Hae In is following Hyun Woo, taking notes to figure stuff out for herself yet does not think to look herself up on the internet? Pretty sure there would have been articles about her saying Eun Sung threatened her?

I generally forgive the burned notebook finding its way back to her.

Also, Hyun Woo's sister is married? With a kid? Living overseas?? and we find this out in ep 13 or 14? No pictures of her kid anywhere?? No phone call?

Hyun Woon has been hit by car, by Eun Sung because of course that happened. At least he won't get amnesia, right? RIGHT?

What a mess.

I still stand by the core story of Hyun Woo and Hae In being the strongest parts, even within the past 3 episodes.

How much do you want to bet they are not even going to address the miscarriage, which was catalyst for their whole marriage falling apart in the final episode. Despite the 1031 being used for pass codes. I've been wanting that from when we found out and it looks like it won't happen. Who knows if Hae In will even get her memory back.

The preview for the final episode doesn't give me much hope, even if we get a nearly 2 hr final episode like Crash Landing on You.

So much wasted potential in the drama. If only they had focused on Hae In and Hyun Woo, and not 20+ other plots.

50 Things to Know about the Disney-verse

1. Ursula and Maleficent are rivals so Uma and Mal being rivals also tracks.

2. The Evil Queen and Maleficent are rivals for Hades' affections and for the status of "The Evilest of Them All'.

3. The Evil Queen claims not to be Hades' girlfriend, but they just had "an interesting weekend" on Castaway Cay. And therefore, I headcanon that she is Hadie’s mom. Probably conceived sometime around Evie’s banishment.

4. In the Disney Villains: Top Secret Files, Maleficent is featured in her own section. According to the pieces of information provided, Maleficent's last name is Faery.

5. She was actually invited to Aurora's birth ceremony and that the invitation simply never got to her castle because she burnt the postman to death (believing him to be a trespasser) before he could deliver it.

6. Her dragon form also appeared in The Little Mermaid series episode "Heroes" as a sea dragon.

7. Captain Hook tried to charm her, only to be zapped away leaving behind his hook. Jafar also tried to woo her while they sat together, only to end up being literally burnt.

8. It was revealed in "A Christmas Cruella" that she did want a puppy before becoming her villainous self.

9. Cruella has a brother named Cecil and a niece named Ivy. However, Cecil is not Ivy's father, meaning that Cruella and Cecil must have another sibling (most likely a brother) who is Ivy's parent.

10. In 102 Dalmatians: Puppies to the Rescue, Cruella has set up a toy factory next to DeVil Manor. She seems to have tried online dating, where she has supposedly wed herself to Professor Farzboom, a meek professor who helps her make her toys. So there’s Carlos’ dad.

11. In "Max's Embarrassing Date", she went on a date with the Beast and asked if he came in a medium, which the Beast became annoyed of. After the Beast gets soaked with soup he was eating, Cruella is unhappy as she would have to get him dry-cleaned.

12. Walt Disney's early vision for The Rescuers revolved around the kidnapping of a polar bear from a city zoo; writers considered reusing Cruella as the main antagonist (presumably driven by her desire for the bear's fur).

13. The concept art of the film shows Cruella wearing an outfit made out of crocodile leather. Because The Rescuers was set more than a decade after 101 Dalmatians, Cruella was given a period-appropriate update. Aside from her '70s alligator-chic outfit, Cruella is accessorized with Sly and the Family Stone-style sunglasses. In other sketches, De Vil is depicted in bell-bottom pants and a pair of platforms. Other concept art showed Cruella driving a water vehicle similar to the one Medusa uses in the final film.

14. The Prince is usually known as Prince Charming, though some source material shows that his name is Henri, or Henry. However, he was never referred to by name anywhere in the film. Not even mentioned as "Prince Charming".

15. The story takes place roughly in June. In the movie, the sun rises slightly before 6:00 AM (in France), as it would within a few weeks of the summer solstice. Also, by this time, a pumpkin would have grown to 20–40 pounds.

16. The debate of the setting of Cinderella has always been a problem, but most people can agree it is French; however, there is a small amount of people who think it is Spanish because the female names end in "A" but that does not really cut it so deeper research shows that the thing on Anastasia's head is a peineta or headdress used in Spain along with formal attire also the French furnishings and the Spanish furnishings within the same time period are very similar in style.

17. Cinderella is the “oldest” princess in the official franchise being 19 while Snow White is the youngest being 14. Also, Snow White’s prince was suppose to be 18 according to Disney’s records.

18. In the third movie, Cinderella’s shoe size is mentioned to be a size 4½ in women's. According to Disney's Villains' Revenge, Snow White has smaller feet than Cinderella.

19. Cinderella was actually rich at the beginning, even before she married the prince. This was exempted, however, as she was forced to work as a servant.

20. In some stories, Cinderella's real name was Ella (short for Eleanor), and because she would always lie in cinders, her stepfamily would call her CinderElla. However, in the Disney film, "Cinderella" is truly her name by birth.

21. Cinderella's last name would likely have been Tremaine since her stepmother's name was Lady Tremaine unless Lady Tremaine kept her maiden name.

22. According to Disneystrology, Cinderella’s birthday is September 6.

23. According to the Disneystrology book, Snow White’s birthday would be on March 6.

24. Cinderella is magical. She has a special ability to empathize with animals, perceive what they say and communicate with them.

25. Melody is the very first human-merperson hybrid in history, making her birth a significant historic moment in both human and Atlantican history.

26.She is also not considered a canon descendant’s character and considered to be from an AU, but apparently, Beauty & The Beast, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and The Little Mermaid are considered to be happening roughly around the same time in the disney timeline.

26. Melody's bedroom is Ariel's guest room when she first took human form and stayed with Prince Eric, albeit recolored with brighter colors.

27. Contrary to popular belief, Jasmine's age has never been confirmed or even referenced in any of the Aladdin movies, television series, or other spinoff projects. In the original film, the Sultan declares that Jasmine must be married "by her next birthday", but never specifies how old she will become on said birthday.

28. An early story concept for the original film had the Sultan saying, "Jasmine, the law says you must be married by your sixteenth birthday.", which would have made her fifteen years old. This concept was scrapped when Jeffrey Katzenberg became worried about sending the wrong message regarding the idea that fifteen year old girls can get married. Thus, the line was changed to "married to a prince by your next birthday.", leaving Jasmine's canonical age unknown.

29. One of the Disney Princess magazines has a story about two of Jasmine's cousins named Farah and Nadine. Whether they are considered canon is unknown.

30. Although the exact date is not clear, Jasmine's birthday is in late January or early February. This is because when Aladdin and Jasmine fly on the magic carpet, Chinese New Year is being celebrated over in China. This holiday can fall anywhere from January 21 to February 20.

31. She also has another cousin named Sharma who teaches at The Royal Academy.

32. Nasira is the better sorcerer between her and her twin brother, Jafar.

33. According to Disneystrology, Tiana’s birthday would be on December 25, Christmas Day.

34. The trailer implies that Gaston may have been aware of the Beast's curse, and had ulterior motives besides wanting Belle as his wife for attempting to kill the Beast, as the trailer described him as being "one man who wants to keep the spell alive," although it is unconfirmed whether this was the case in the film itself.

35. Despite various concept materials, as listed above, give Gaston the surname of LeGume, the Bimbettes during the song of "Belle" refer to Gaston as "Monsieur Gaston" and Belle in the reprise twice sarcastically refers to herself as "Madame Gaston" suggesting that Gaston is his surname in the final version.

36. The Bimbettes (individual names Claudette, Laurette, and Paulette) are blonde identical triplets who fawn over Gaston. They are inspired by Belle's sisters from the original Beauty and the Beast fairy tale.

37. They are the first Disney characters to possess green eyes without being villains

38. These girls worked their asses off in the comics to get Gaston to notice them. 😩

39. Its implied in one comic that Belle and Gaston were friends when they were children.

40. Ironically, despite Belle being considered by the village to be the most beautiful woman in the village, Laurette once disguised herself as Belle flawlessly enough to fool Gaston initially, which conflicted with the claim that Belle's looks had no parallel.

41. Even though he is referred to as a prince in the opening, none of the characters directly refer to him by that title. In addition, the first draft for Woolverton's take of the film indicated that the Beast was intended to be a duke instead of a prince.

42. According to the first stained-glass window featured in the film's opening sequence, Adam’s family motto is "vincit qui se vincit" (meaning "The winner is who wins himself").

42. Though the Beast's official age is not mentioned in the movie, it is strongly indicated by the narrator's statement that the rose "would bloom until his 21st year." As the rose has already begun to wilt by the time Belle arrives at the castle, it is very likely that the Beast is 20 years (i.e. on their 21st year) of age by this point.

43. In authorized supplementary comics, most notably The New Adventures of Beauty and the Beast, the Prince is never shown as being older than a preteen when he's shown as a human; moreover, the palace staff all refer to his pre-curse self as "a young boy" or "child". Two individual comics show that the Prince was originally a few years older than Chip, who didn't age during the curse, and shows him as being a couple of years older than Belle herself. The comics also show that the Prince has had a few run-ins with the disguised Enchantress, meaning that he'd still be a preteen when he was cursed.

44. Despite her slim figure, Belle seems to have considerable strength. She may have lifted the Beast, as evidenced by the Beast being placed onto Philippe's back, although this was never shown on-screen. Later on, she was able to pull the Beast up onto a balcony.

45. Belle is currently the only official Disney Princess to have hazel eyes.

46. In the beginning of the original 1989 storyline, found on the Diamond Edition DVD, Belle's birthday is celebrated, and the cake reads "Happy 17th Birthday Belle", providing evidence that she is 17 in the movie, or at least that she was originally planned to be 17.

47. Contrary to popular belief, it's not made clear whether Belle was actually born a peasant, as she implies that she wasn't born in her home village in the opening song, but rather moved there. In addition, her owning books at her cottage implied that she is, or at least was, considerably wealthy (as back in the time period of the film, books were considerably expensive).

48. In the musical, specifically the song "No Matter What" one of the lyrics had Maurice stating "You are your mother's daughter; therefore you are class ... crème de la crème", implying that Belle was part of the social upper class. This was also supported by Belle having a portrait of her and her mom in the Enchanted Tales of Belle attraction.

49. In earlier drafts, Aladdin had three human friends named Babkak, Omar, and Kassim.

50. In the episode "Two to Tangle", it's revealed that Aladdin has unexplored magic powers hidden within his soul. This may possibly be a link to him being "The Diamond In The Rough".

Unmasked - Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2 Trailer

In the first four episodes, over 2.3 billion minutes were viewed.  The highest debut weekend in history for any Netflix show, the historical drama was filled with romance, action, and comedic endeavors. The first part focuses on the romantic story of Colin and Penelope, while the second part will explore the mystery and unmasking of all the personas introduced in the first part.  To say we are ravenous for the final episodes is an understatement.

"What is concealed, shall be revealed"

A New Betrothal

Everyone in the Bridgerton family is excited about Colin and Penelope's upcoming wedding, except for one member. Let's be honest, Violet had already practically picked out the stationery. In like manner, during season 2 when Anthony calls on the Bridgerton family to help him "woo" Edwina, Penelope is in the drawing room. Undoubtedly, she is like another sister, and the brothers joking that Anthony may need to fight a duel for her speaks to her connection to the family.

The fact that the Featheringtons found out about the betrothal through Lady Whistledown speaks volumes. Albion Finch, always the supportive brother-in-law, clearly deserves the Brother-in-law of the Year award. I must admit, I enjoyed seeing the sisters' surprise and his smile. On the contrary, Portia didn't seem pleased. Undoubtedly, a lot was going on after the, ahem, carriage. Finding out that your youngest is marrying the best out of the three, and you didn't know about it, is likely to cause conflict.  Portia also appears unhappy after two seasons of trying to finally get her connection with the Bridgerton family -- and she isn't happy about it.  On the bright side, this means she's the next Catherine the Great, right?

The Reward

 "Whistledown is power."

As Penelope is finally making progress towards marital bliss, the issue of the Queen and Lady Whistledown remains unresolved. Over the past three seasons, the Queen has been trying to find Lady Whistledown but has been unsuccessful. She has even offered a reward of five thousand pounds to anyone who can uncover Lady Whistledown's identity. The clock shown multiple times in the new clip suggests that time may be running out. The question remains: what will the Queen do with the information once she finds Lady Whistledown?

Last season, when Eloise was discovered by the Queen and pulled into the carriage, we got an idea of just what she might do with the power that Whistledown may bring. Whistledown, with influence, was able to bring down Nigel Burbrook in Season 1. She has released some pretty risky stuff. If that power was in the wrong hands, it could be troublesome.  On the other hand, just the knowledge of who the penned author is, the Queen may respect Penelope. Only time will tell, and that is 9 days to be exact.

What are you looking forward to most in Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2?

EAH Glee AU

I do not have time right now to work on my actual writing- midterms are done so now we're just jumping right into final papers- but have an AU outline post.

Professor Pied Piper, taking inspiration from some of his best high school memories, gets Headmaster Grimm to reinstate the school glee club.

Meanwhile, Madame Baba Yaga fears the new activity will steal away talent from her prize cheer-hexing team, the Ever After High Cheerios (I can’t think of a good fairytale-ification for this, I will accept suggestions). To rectify this situation, she sends in three of her girls undercover with the goal of sabotaging the glee club.

Basically, Pied Piper is Will Schuester, Baba Yaga is Sue Sylvester, and chaos ensues.

Glee Club Members:

Apple White: She joined because 1) she's good at singing 2) she genuinely enjoys singing 3) her mom was in the Glee Club and led them to winning Nationals. I'd say she's the Rachel Berry or the Quinn Fabray, but I'm not gonna do that thing where I entirely change a character's personality to make them fit into the role of another character...for the students anyway. Look, Apple's got enough drama in her life, she doesn't need me making her crazy enough to send someone to a crack house out of jealousy.

Raven: Uh, in the books Headmaster Grimm won't let her take Muse-ic because it's not an evil class. Luckily, because of a bizarre loophole in the school guidelines for competitive teams, Headmaster Grimm can't ban her from Glee Club. Everyone say thank you Giles.

Daring: He joined because he was told it would give him extra credit for the serenading skills portion of Advanced Wooing. Also, Apple asked him to join because they didn't have enough boys in the club and Daring's been trained to never ignore a request from a damsel.

Dexter: He’s there cause Raven’s there? And also cause he is a genuinely great singer and unlike Daring needs the Advanced Wooing extra credit? Also, I just kinda want him there.

Darling: Her mom made her join. Queen Charming really said “I’m gonna take a page from Snow White’s book and live vicariously through you, offspring of mine”.

Briar: She really likes the idea of a team competition where she won’t put her teammates in danger if she falls asleep. Also, she checked the competition rulebook, as long as they don’t all leave the stage when she has a narcoleptic episode they won’t be disqualified.

Humphrey: Every Glee AU needs a white-boy-who raps and Ever After High has one already built-in in the form of Humphrey Dumpty.

Maddie: She’s there cause Raven’s there. It’s utterly hattastic!

Kitty: She’s there because she remembered her mom talking about how some of her fondest memories of high school revolves around messing with the glee club, and Kitty wants dearly to be like her mother.

Lizzie: We’re completing the Wonderland ensemble. Lizzie joins because she needs an extra curricular and the Invisible Tree Situation has gotten so out of hand they had to disband the croquet team. Great voice, ngl.

Justine: Not the strongest singer in the room, but she’s capable of choreographing numbers like nobody’s business.

Meeshell: Listen, canon’s pretending her singing in that webisode was something amazing. So like, we’re pretending now too.

Duchess: I picture her as a Sugar Motta-type character. Cannot sing, massive diva, but they gotta put up with her cause her family’s donating to the club budget.

Melody: Listen, it’s her dad’s club. She can’t just not join. She’s banking those supportive daughter points for a rainy day.

Lawrence Bonecrusher III: Listen, I just it'd be funny if Professor Piper says the ever-insane "You're all minorities, you're in the glee club" line and there's the one orc student in the school just sitting there with his eyebrow raised. He's also the Matt of this AU. For some reason never speaks when in a scene.

Faybelle: Captain of the Cheerios, totally not here as part of a scheme by Madame Yaga to DESTROY THE GLEE CLUB!!!!

Nah, but seriously, this whole AU was born of me going "What EAH character would say the iconic 'I'm a closeted lesbian and a judgemental bitch' line?" and her face popped into my mind.

[rosyfingered-moon]

Sejak episode 9

Wow okay so a lot to unpack.

"How come I never realized you're a woman? I only had eyes for you and wanted you from the outset." Meaning that Yi In acknowledges at least to himself that he's been gay for Mong-woo all this time. ALL THIS TIME. Like he 100% believed this was a man and he meant to have him anyway. I just want to state this for the record because it's UNHEARD OF here in sageuk city.

He did plan to rescue her!! Not Hongjang or the others so still top 10 anime betrayals but he did intend for Mong-woo to escape Gulag. It's not much but it's something.

There’s obviously no reason to strip out of all outer garments and let one's long luscious hair out just for a night of modest cuddling, but at the same time there's no reason to be completely covered if they just fucked nasty. So what is the truth?? 😤

Still obsessed with the decision to set this in her natal home. The first thing she does after their night of passion is to revisit all the reasons she has to destroy him emotionally and politically. Good luck jeonha

Really insane levels of misogyny when a man's four wives have to apologize for his homosexuality

Haha no commentary, I was just very delighted by how fucking speechless she was in this scene.

I like that he protects Dong sanggung (admittedly after inflicting upon her the worst humiliation of the century). I don't know what she's up to or what she's done but I honestly don't care, I just want her to have a good life bossing the other court ladies around <3

Speaking of, this queen is so precious and I want her to always smile like this and never cry and tremble and break her teacups again :( Her relationship to Munseong is really sweet, and I love that her dad got to witness how much she adores these kids that she's supposed to hate. Maybe he'll think twice about ousting and/or killing Munseong now!!

All his eyepatches are so Fashion

This is such a stupid plan because even if Yi In could safely assume the envoy would insist on playing against Mong-woo, there is a 100% guarantee that she'll be brought to Qing as a baduk prodigy if she wins. Like even without the bet that's a given. So she'll be safe from Evil Minister Uncle, yes, but only until the envoy discovers she's a woman. (I don't think this is going to happen but wouldn't it be neat if she did go to Qing in a brief subplot adventure and found her dad?)

Episode 11 Queen of Tears BaekHong recap

Scene: Gwaenchana? Saranghae…

“This can’t happen, I haven’t told you yet…

That it’s okay, that I never resent you. I haven’t thanked you for being by my side all these years despite all the harsh words I uttered that I didn’t mean. I love you. You were the reason I wanted to live even more.

I thought I had more time…

I haven’t apologised to everyone yet… I’m sorry, I’m sorry for everything...”

Does she know how many people cried when she had this monologue? I had to pause this episode and bawl my eyes out when I saw Hyun Woo break down crying while watching Hae In enter the emergency ward. And how was it possible for a man to cry so beautifully like Kim Soo Hyun? I’m impressed again and again every time I see those eyes accumulating tears before it slowly flows down his cheek.

First, her confession; she did not just said that she loves him, she said that she loves him from the very first time they met until now. Second, she apologised and I think it was the first time Hae In ever apologised to Hyun Woo. We have been focusing on Hyun Woo’s betrayal to her that at certain point we forgot that Hyun Woo had his reason for the divorce. We were disappointed and angry at his behaviour after Hae In told him that she only had 3 months to leave, but without considering that he has a right to want a divorce. She had never apologised to him for all those years she left him alone with her family, for saying the harsh words that she didn’t mean. She admits that she had a feeling about him wanting to file for a divorce; she is smart of course she would have a hunch about it. Hyun Woo is a bit dumbfounded after hearing her confession. He knew his wife more than anyone in this world, and she is acting weird. There is a reason for her sudden emotional confession and he doesn’t like to hear it. He was slightly angry at her for having the thought of dying, because he is not ready for it and he won’t let her succumbs to her illness. He is making sure that she knows what will happen to him if she dies, he will give up on his life. He wouldn’t hear anything that involves her dying and he wouldn’t let her die.

Scene: Honey dripping eyes by Mr. Baek Hyun Woo

Hae In is definitely taking the opportunity to make Hyun Woo being exceptionally a dotted husband; honey dripping eyes and holding her close while walking together and also having the satisfaction of doing it in front of YES. Talking about that shibalsaekki, while Hyun Woo and Hae In’s family were worrying about her and losing sleep because of Hae In, that shibalsaekki didn’t even care and only focusing to handle the aftermath of Hae In’s statement. It doesn’t seem like he even worried for her, his words means nothing and had no sincerity. It’s like discussing weather for him. How can he said that he loves her when nothing he did was ever based off love. All he wanted was Hae In and not her love, he just loves the idea of having Hae In to himself.

While Hyun Woo and Hae In were discussing their next step to take back the Queens Group, Hae In was shocked to find out that Queens employees are helping them to save the company. But Hyun Woo told her that the employees are doing it for the company, because they love their company and don’t want to see it crumble at the hands of MSH and YES. The people’s leader, Baek Hyun Woo everyone! We have seen how ruthless Hae In and her family handled their business but they weren’t able to see the foundation of their company; the employees. Hyun Woo is showing her that his method works without having to do things the same way as what her grandfather had taught her, and she saw it from his point of view now. She also got her answer as to why he is doing all of these and still stay with the Queens Group, just like the other employees, he is doing it for the sake of their company but it’s not because he loves the company; it was because he knew how much she loves this company (and he loves her).

Scene: Broken hair dryer

I liked this scene because Hae In is taking the initiative and actively seeking Hyun Woo to help her do mundane things without beating around the bush. She asks for his help to dry her hair because she couldn’t figure out the correct way to handle the broken hair dryer. It’s like they went back to their office romance era where Hyun Woo is helping her to fix the photocopier. Hyun Woo is ecstatic when she compliments him for his work and when she said that he can do it every day for her as a promise that he will be by her side just to dry her hair as an excuse. The atmosphere turns gloomy when Hae In shares about her new symptom to Hyun Woo; on top of her short term memory loss, she also has some sort of prosopagnosia where she failed to recognise face for a few seconds. She doesn’t want him to be by her side when her conditions worsen. It’s like she has prepared herself to expect the worst; dying. She knew the 3 months that the doctor gave her is almost over and her WBC count is only increasing slowly. On top of that, there is no guarantee that the lab in Germany will be able to cure her from the illness. Hyun Woo also knew that they were out of options, so it left him speechless and unable to promise her anything.

Scene: Hae In-ah!!!

The worst of the worse has come. She failed to recognise Hyun Woo, she mistakenly took shibalsaekki YES as Baek Hyun Woo (the love of her life). She wasn’t just unable to recognise faces, she actually has a problem with her perception overall. Hyun Woo and YES wear different clothes and cars, she failed to recognise that. It was probably because she cannot differentiate the details because this is the first time she ever experienced it alone and she didn’t expect it.

I know I’m just repeating the same thing that everyone already agreed; Kim Soo Hyun acting just bone-chilling, nerve-wracking and giving us goosebumps. The very slightly different gaze of fake Hyun Woo and his voice tone was especially more apparent during the chasing car scene with the real Hyun Woo. The lack of expression and cold expression was delicately crafted so that the viewers would slowly realise that this is fake Hyun Woo.

The moment when Hae In realised that the man beside her is YES through the reflection from the car window was just brilliant. We saw her expression shift each seconds connecting the dots and disbelief that she really just mistook YES as Baek Hyun Woo.

Queen of Tears - 10/10

10/10, no notes.

While this was airing, looking forward to new Queen of Tears episodes was basically the only thing getting me through the work week. I can see this drama becoming a comfort watch for me. The leads had insane chemistry. There were moments that made me literally laugh out loud but also moments that brought a tear to my eye. The pacing was excellent. Stories didn't drag but also didn't feel like we were moving from one phase of the story to the next without allowing plots to breathe.

Hae-in is from a chaebol family who married a lawyer, Hyun-woo, 3 years ago. When the show opens though, their marriage is in shambles. They stopped communicating and resentment has festered between them. Hyun-woo is planning to divorce Hae-in, but before he gets a chance to tell her, she tells him that she's been diagnosed with a brain cancer- and it's terminal. And like that is just the beginning of all the drama.

So much happens that it's hard to even know where to start. Hae-in pursues a potential cure. There is a man from Hae-in's past who is obsessed with her and schemes to take over her family's company and then reign with her. Hyun-woo remembers why he fell in love with Hae-in in the first place. Revelations galore. Secrets that are coming to light after decades. Memory loss. Just... SO MUCH. And yet it never feels like too much.

One of the things that really elevated this drama for me was how invested I found myself in the B and C plots. Hae-in's younger brother, Soo-cheol is... well he's kinda a mess and not the brightest. But he matures throughout the show and is doing his best, ok?! I really was rooting for him and his wife and was a lot more emotionally attached to them than I thought I would be. I also loved Hae-in's aunt so much. The entire section of the show where Hae-in's rich family has to go seek refuge by living in the countryside with Hyun-woo's family was PURE GOLD. I love that fish out of water stuff!

Which DuckTales (2017) Characters Would The Yautja Deem To Be Worthy Prey?

Ok. Here I’ll be going over which DuckTales (2017) characters the Predators would consider to be worthy prey. For those of you that don’t know, the Predators, also known as the Yautja, are an alien species of hunters that choose to hunt what they deem to be dangerous game. And the Predators also live by a Code Of Honor. For example, as shown in the Predator (1987) movie, a Predator called the Jungle Hunter spared a woman named Anna Gonsalves since she was unarmed. And as shown in the Alien VS Predator movie, also have a ranking system that is partly determined by their performance against another alien species called the Xenomorphs. This post is also partly inspired by AcidGlow’s Predator: Rank System Explained - Yautja Society And Hierarchy YouTube video. Also, Spoiler Alert for the DuckTales (2017) TV series and the Predator franchise. With all that out of the way, let’s dive right in.

I think that the Yautja would deem Scrooge McDuck as worthy prey. After all, as shown in the episode ‘Last Christmas!’, Scrooge outwitted the Ghost Of Christmas Past. Also, as shown in the episode ‘The Phantom And The Sorceress!’, Scrooge traveled to another realm. And, as shown in the episode ‘Shadow War Part 2: Day Of The Ducks!’, Scrooge helped defeat Magica De Spell. So, with all of that experience, I think that Scrooge might attract the attention of a Yautja Clan Leader who has hunted and killed 3 hives of Xenomorphs alone with their Xenomorph Queens. As stated in the Ancient Predator Description - NECA, these are revered Yaurja who lead their own hunting clans. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Scrooge has been around since before the Klondike Gold Rush all the way up to the Present due to being stuck in a timeless demon dimension somewhere along the way. So, Scrooge probably has more than a century of experience. Also, as shown and stated in the episodes ‘Woo-oo’ and ‘Escape To/From Atlantas!’, Scrooge is an adventure enthusiast. So, given that they live in a culture that strongly emphasizes hunting, the Yautja may find Scrooge’s type of enthusiasm admirable. Plus, since, as shown in the ‘Woo-oo!’, Scrooge got back to adventuring after years of retirement, a Yautja Retiree might see that and become inspired to come out of retirement themselves and challenge Scrooge McDuck in a hunt or duel.

I also think that the Yautja would deem Goldie O’Gilt as worthy prey. But I think it would be for different reasons. Whereas the Yautja would mainly consider Scrooge McDuck to be worthy prey because of his wits and various adventures, the Yautja would probably consider Goldie O’Gilt to be worthy prey mainly because of her sneakiness and trickery. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Goldie outwitted both Scrooge McDuck and Flintheart Glomgold. Goldie also caused a demon uprising in another realm as stated in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’. That probably required a lot of cleverness and sneakiness on her part. Given all that, I think that Goldie might also attract the attention of a Yautja Clan Leader. As I said earlier, they are revered Yautja who lead their own hunting clans. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, due to finding a Fountain Of Youth somewhere along the way, Goldie has been around from before the Klondike Gold Rush all the way up to the Present. So, Goldie probably also has a century of experience. Also, because of Goldie’s sneakiness and trickery, the Yautja may also see Goldie as more than suitable prey to put their own wits and cunning to the test.

I think that the Yautja would deem Bentina Beakley to be worthy prey. After all, as shown in the episode ‘From The Confidential Casefiles Of Agent 22!’, Beakley was a spy who worked for SHUSH. And in the episode ‘From The Confidential Casefiles Of Agent 22!’, Beakley was the one selected to go after Black Heron out of all the agents who worked for SHUSH. That probably means that Beakley is one of SHUSH’s senior agents which would also mean that she has a lot of experience under her belt. So, Beakley might attract the attention of an Elite Predator. After all, as shown in the Alien VS Predator Requiem movie, Elite Predators like Wolf are among the deadlier of the Yautja who are able to take on multiple Xenomorphs and even the Predalien. Also, given what I said earlier, I think that Beakley’s level of experience would probably be on par with an Elite Predator. And it’s fitting for one of SHUSH’s elites to attract the attention of an Elite among the Yautja.

I think that Webby Vanderquack would be deemed as worthy prey by the Yautja. After all, as shown in the episode ‘Escape From The ImpossiBin!’, Webby is a pretty good fighter for her age and was able to trick Huey and Dewey and make them mistake a dark colored paper shaped like her silhouette for her shadow. And I think that the honorable Yautja would admire that sort of dedication from a child especially since, as shown in the Alien VS Predator movie, they send Young Bloods who are mainly adolescent Yautja on their first real hunt in order for them to earn their plasma casters. However, I think it would be a Bad Blood (Yautja who defy the Yautja Honor Code) who would go after Webby. I think that the honorable Yautja would refrain from going after Webby. According to the AVP Wiki, the Yautja Honor Code states that it’s dishonorable to hunt a child. I haven’t exactly found any citations on that to back it up. But since the honorable Yautja wouldn’t kill an unarmed person as shown in the Predator (1987) movie where the Jungle Hunter didn’t go after an unarmed person named Anna Gonsalves who was part of a guerilla force and was a fully grown woman, I don’t think refraining from hunting and killing a child would be too much of a stretch. But that wouldn’t stop a Bad Blood. As shown in the Predators (2010) movie, while they do at least sometimes want to hunt worthy prey, Bad Bloods will use beasts and surveillance drones to try to find their prey. And as shown in the Predator (1987) and Predator 2 movies, honorable Yautja like the Jungle Hunter and the City Hunter respectively didn’t try using those types of tactics to locate their prey because of the Yautja Honor Code. And if Bad Bloods are willing to go against the Yautja Honor Code, they will probably go after children if they believe they’re worthy prey.

I think that the Yautja would deem Donald Duck to be worthy prey. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The House Of The Lucky Gander!’, Donald was able to use his fury to make it through a Luck Vampire’s deadly obstacle course. I think the Yautja would believe that level of fury would make Donald worthy prey. Donald might attract the attention of an Elite Predator. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, Donald has been adventuring since he was a child. That probably means that Donald has quite a lot of experience that might be on par with the experience of an Elite Predator.

I think that the Yautja would deem Della Duck to be worthy prey. After all, as shown in the episode ‘What Ever Happened To Della Duck?!’, Della was able to survive for 10 years on the moon despite being all alone while also having to fend off a giant creature along the way and she also managed to make a prosthetic leg for herself after she lost one of her organic legs. I think that the Yautja would be very impressed by that kind of performance. Della might also attract the attention of an Elite Predator. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, Della has been adventuring since she was a child. That probably means that she has a lot of experience that might be on par with the experience of an Elite Predator.

I think that the Yautja would deem Drake Mallard AKA Darkwing Duck to be worthy prey. The Yautja might not think much of Drake Mallard as worthy prey at first. However, I think that the Yautja would still be impressed by how Drake always tries to persevere no matter what the obstacle. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Duck Knight Returns!’, Drake still tried to persevere against Jim Starling despite Drake being caught in a small explosion, a piano being dropped on top of him and being electrocuted. I think that the Young Bloods would take that as an excellent example for them to always persevere no matter what the obstacle during their hunts. I think it would be during or after the episode ‘Let’s Get Dangerous!’, Drake Mallard, despite being scared at first, managed to help take down a group of supervillains who had superpowers. And I think that will attract the attention of a Blooded Predator. As shown in the Alien VS Predator movie, Blooded Predators are Young Bloods who have successfully killed their first fully grown Xenomorph without the use of a plasma caster. Drake may not have as much experience as Scrooge McDuck, Goldie O’Gilt and the rest. But his performances in the episodes ‘The Duck Knight Returns!’ and ‘Let’s Get Dangerous!’ have shown that he would be deemed a worthy opponent by a Blooded Predator.

I think that the Yautja would deem Penumbra to be worthy prey. As stated in the episode ‘The Golden Spear!’, Penumbra was the Moon’s greatest warrior against the Mites. That probably means that Penumbra is a battle-hardened veteran with a lot of experience. So, Penumbra will probably attract the attention of an Elite Predator. After all, a battle-hardened veteran’s experience would probably be on par with the experience of an Elite Predator. Although, given their culture, the Yautja would probably find themselves bewildered seeing a battle-hardened veteran having a new-found enjoyment of Earth fun like roller skating that Penumbra displayed in the episode ‘They Put A Moonlander On The Earth!’.

Well, that’s all for this post.

See you all next time.

Finished Queen Woo. Second half did drag a bit for me.

I get that they were focusing on a very short time frame, but it felt like half a drama.

Honestly, I think it would have been better served as a 16 episode (minimum) drama with 3 arcs:

1 - Their childhood to marriage.

2- the surprise crowning of the king and the aftermath, the Queen holding the court and the king off fighting wars to his death.

3- basically what the show is, but extend to how the Queen won.

I just would like everything fleshed out more. This way we can really get to know them, their motivations and actually care about them. What was the relationship with the king and his brothers? What about the Queen and her sister, with sister's history of coveting what the queen had? Was the 3rd prince always crazy? Was the 4th prince always so spineless? Did he always love/lust after the queen? Did the king know his brother was hot for his wife? Why was the youngest prince so loyal to the King?

I have so many unanswered questions that I would have like to have been explored more fully outside a couple lines explaining it.

It's a time period that is almost never shown in saeguks. The only other one I've seen in this general era was Moon in the Day. It would have been nice to see a longer drama about this, and to help explain some of the customs more.

Basically, Queen Woo was not exactly good but it was entertaining, it has great performances, lots of WTF moments and the sex and nudity was not needed but I am glad I watched it though I would never watch it again.

Been rewatching some of my favorite series lately instead of movies. The very first time I saw Queen of Tears and the scene in episode 3 where the family heads out to their land I was screaming at the television:

"No! No, Han-seo Soo-cheol, what are you doing? Stay away from the woods! You know these family hunting trips never end well!"

The part where Soo-cheol (played by the talented Kwak Dong-yeon) is teasing Baek Hyun-woo (played by the also talented Kim Soo-hyun) about his shooting skills was a nice touch by director Kim Hee-won.

I had forgotten how much fun some of the scenes were.
