Here’s a new ship I made, and it’s another SFL one, Billie x Kidd (aka Lonely Warrior). What do you all think?:

People complaining about the Argan plot on my TL. I'm indifferent to it because it does follow the novel and it's not one of those novel things that don't adapt well for TV.

But I can see the complaints about it being in the last episode. I'd rather it be in the penultimate episode and then have the last episode dedicated to them rebuilding their new life. Like choosing the Yu-yeon name.

Overall, I didn't hate the last episode. The leads carried the episodes. I think the ending with the SLs was pointless. I get that anything happens in a time jump, but we've seen no progression really of their relationship. It's like a quick way to wrap up their storylines. But SFL literally had no storyline or purpose. SML at least had a storyline, and he had a purpose in the first half (to indirectly help our couple be a couple).

That's the only choice I question, the need for the SFL (and SML). The SFL was especially a mess that even the writers clearly didn't know what to do. One minute she's fangirling over ML and gets excited and acts like she has a date with the married ML (which she knows he's married), then after that, nothing. She suddenly stops fangirling and acts normal and this is before she learns about HJ as his wife.

People like to complain, it’s human nature.

I liked the Argan thing because it was in the novel and also because I was already a kdrama fan 15 years ago when so many dramas liked to send their OTPs to exotic war torn locations for make outs and torture (see Swallow the Sun, IRIS and Lobbyist among others. Side note - STS had a secondary OTP of a mercenary and suicidal stripper that was very matter of fact and they got a happy ending to boot; when people say nowadays kdramas are so more frank about things - well no they are not.) So that was yet another delicious throwback about this drama.

Anyone who complains (as I saw) about this being unbelievable or too OTT has clearly not been paying attention to the genre - this was a crack melo from ep 1. It stayed in genre until the end. I totally get if it’s not someone’s thing but it didn’t really pull a genre rug on anyone.

I was quite happy with the amount of post-plot fluff we got. We got half an ep and seeing that dramas have a long tradition of giving us 1 minute before the end in terms of happy stuff, that felt downright luxurious (even in the novel, the bulk of post-plot fluff is in the extras not the novel proper.) To be fair though, I am not really a fluff person and don’t have much interest in watching fluffy happy dating moments of even my favorite OTPs unless it’s narratively done in the middle as we we watch in knowledge the hammer of doom is coming. So this take is informed by that. (Shen Li remains close to unique for me in loving the fact that the entire last ep is dedicated to their cottagecore bliss post the plot resolution. But Shen Li is an outlier for me in many respects - when something hits well enough even my normal preferences melt away. I mean I love Suppli and that’s an office drama.)

As to second ML and second FL agree they weren’t as developed as they could have been (esp SFL) but I am just happy they weren’t ship interlopers. I rarely care much for SML/SFL unless they have their own interesting narrative not revolving a love a square so my expectations are usually low.

Ultimate while I did have some niggles (where is my naming scene, where?!?), Phone ended up my favorite kdrama of 2024 by a large margin, over even Lovely Runner, Black Out and Goryeo Khitan War.

I hope its success makes kdramas make more of those type of old school, intense, romance melos but I have my doubts.

2024 Cdrama Year in Review

Overall Favorite Show:

Love Game in Eastern Fantasy

Funny, charming, sweet, warmhearted, tender, touching, clever, and just all around a delight. Was it perfect? No. Did it make me happier and give me more brain worms (of the good kind, not the RFK kind) than any other drama this year? Yes.

Favorite Character:

Mu Sheng/Ziqi from Love Game in Eastern Fantasy

This man is crack to me. Put a bunch of tropes Haro loves in a pot and stir them up, then add Ding Yuxi's sad baby boy yes and you get Ziqi aka 'this character was made for me.'

Runner up would be Miaomiao:

But since I want to use another series for the runner up...

Favorite character runner up:

Zhao Yuanzhou from Fangs of Fortune

Zhao Yuanzhou my beautiful tragic demon boy who deserves the world. The epitome of ‘Do you understand the violence it took to become this gentle?’

Favorite Ship:

Miaomiao and Ziqi from Love Game in Eastern Fantasy

Such a tender, quiet love that develops from a strong friendship into something more. I love that they never stop being cute, teasing BFFs once they hook up. The story that ties it all together in the last episode is so beautiful. I'm content knowing that even though they might not have cool powers any longer, they are going to live happily ever after. Everything that happened to them was real. 💖

favorite ship runner up:

Zhuo Yichen/Zhao Yuanzhou from Fangs of Fortune

In a word, gorgeous. The way pure hatred can transform into uncompromising love, two people who couldn't seem more different on the surface can find a singular understanding, and the way that love is sacrifice, but it's also taking on a burden for someone who has spent his whole life doing so for others (choosing someone who has never been chosen, and when the time comes, his soul sings and comes back to you).

Other runner up would be Xiaoyao/Tushan Jing from Lost You Forever, but they were on last year's list for the first season so.

(Skipped fave canon since Miaoqi is canon)

favorite supporting female:

A'Nian from Lost You Forever S2

This princess has some of the strongest character growth in the series, and definitely the best arc in season two. Just delightful to watch. Strong subversion of the evil SFL trope.

favorite supporting male:

Nitian Erxing from Burning Flames

In a generally kind of overstuffed and simplistic cast, this devoted demon king stood out to me. Not just his cunty styling, but his nobility and surprising level of complexity.

If you bring in 2023 dramas that I watched in 2024, add in Wang Ye from I am Nobody to the above. He's such a mood, and he's very pretty. He was by far my favorite part of season one. Can't wait to see him again. .💖

favorite antagonist:

Princess Wanning from The Double

Not sure about favorite because I wasn't that invested in her specifically, but as far as 'best' antagonist, it was probably her. Legend says that Li Meng is still chewing the scenery to this day.

2024 wrapped: kdrama edition!

i continue to take a page from @dangermousie's book and present an overall ranking of the kdramas i watched that came out this year. cdrama version upcoming!

honestly, didnt finish a lot of kdramas this year :/

11 marry my husband. makjang fun for the first few eps. soooo boring about midway through. SFL stole the show. did not finish/dropped

10 death's game. honestly just didnt feel this one. did not finish/dropped

9 love song for illusion. look i love batshittery but sometimes it's just too batshit and that's this one. did not finish/dropped

8 lovely runner. lol im gonna hide from the world after posting this, but i really disliked this one. too many contrived shipping tropes, and not in a fun way. felt weirdly hollow to me. dropped around ep 12

7 family by choice. A+ casting (especially the dads!). fell really short of the original cdrama for me, and i couldn't help comparing. did not finish/dropped around ep 10

6 queen of tears. was a ton of makjang fun until about halfway through and then lost all momentum for me. epic vincenzo cameo, however, so points there. finished, but didn't like it by the end

5 squid game 2. some good notes, but overall kind of a slog for me

4 no gain no love. fun kind of old school modern romcom! the second male lead was so annoying to me, but i'd watch shin min ah in anything and she's her usual charming self in this one.

3 love your enemy. not caught up on this one yet, but so far im liking the old school comedy feel of the current day storyline and im loving seeing the ML in a more light hearted role (i've only seen him in darker dramas). jung yumi is also one of my favorite actresses

2 light shop. from the same screenwriter/original content author as my #1 drama last year moving. heartfelt horror is kind of my favorite genre and this is a great addition to that collection

1 when the phone rings. im not caught up on this either, but it's just pure makjang unhinged fuckery and it's so so much fun.

havent watched yet (but want to)

love next door

15 Day BL Challenge! Part 3!

Day 33: It’s toxic and I know it. Favourite toxic trope? (we don’t judge here)

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

As many people who follow me will know, I am a big fan of toxic ship, for better or for worse. I often times just find the dynamic more interesting, the way the character’s interactions more fascinating. I also enjoy trying to see if the show can make a justification that is even approaching believable. Bonus points if the show knows it’s toxic and never tries to justify it, I eat that shit for breakfast.

(The usual disclaimer that while I enjoy toxic tropes in fiction, their real life behavioural counterparts should be avoided.)

So with that in mind:

Possessiveness to the point of insanity.

While it’s one of my favourites, it has to come with certain conditions. I only want it if it’s the actual couple of show. If it’s the SML/SFL who is the possessive one, I tend to find it more pathetic than interesting. I mean where is the fun of being possessive of someone who isn’t into you. It’s only interesting for me if the LI is at least kind of into it.

I can’t not use MingJoe as an example for this. This is what I mean for this trope, at it’s finest. Ming is a possessive asshole. The narrative and Joe knows it and Joe is actually pretty into it. At least he is once he realizes that it’s actually him Ming is into and not Tong. Ming is kind of insane and maladjusted on the best of days, but do anything to threaten his Joe and he will completely give up the ghost and go full possessive insanely rich asshole on you. No one is safe, not even if his own family, if they threaten Joe.

The stalker extremely pushy love interest

It is cute in real life? No it really isn’t, but in fiction it’s a bit of a different story. This type of trope that can used a couple of different ways and I love them all.

Prapai is a stalker. I love him to death, I love his and Sky’s love story but he is a stalker and there is no two ways about it. Still I love their love story because in at least in fiction, you can try to justify it as is something the other party may need. Sky needs Prapai’s persistence (mostly because therapy doesn’t exist in the MCU but I digress). Sky need it because he clearly likes Pai almost from the beginning but his very understandable hang ups when it comes to relationships is getting in his way of expressing that and developing a normal relationship and since Sky won’t go to therapy, Pai will just stalk him in order to wear him down enough that Sky is willing to admit that he also likes Pai. Especially when you factor in how successful their relationship is once it gets past this stage and they are essentially equal partners.

Toh and Nuea are another version of the trope that I love, especially because it flips the trope in it’s head. Toh is the definition of benevolent stalker (if such a thing exists) because he is literally just happy to watch just afar and collect weird keepsakes. He doesn’t harbour any kind of belief that he even can take it any further much less that he should. Nuea is aware of Toh’s stalking way before he and Toh ever even have a conversation and, unlike with Sky, it is very obvious from the beginning that Nuea is unequivocally into it. He matches Toh’s freak perfectly and is in fact that one to push their relationship until Toh is finally able to take the last few needed steps for them to be equals in their relationship.

I gotta say, I really enjoyed these episodes. The editing is much better and it doesn't feel like something is missing.

These two and their little acts of kindness towards each other also really won me over. they've both started to see each other in a romantic light (well, I think more unconsciously on Yong-joo's part). Min-joo showing up with the snacks & hair tie was oddly adorable. I also liked how Yong-joo always jumps in when she sees Min-joo being overwhelmed with social interaction (relatable king).

I don't like quite like the SFL (she seems really underhanded, pressure or no) or the villagers (tossing salt on Yong-joo is wild) but the SML is growing on me! (That toast looks really good BTW, can he pull up with his food truck near my workplace?) I even liked the matchmaking ajummas and their antics!

All in all, will definitely be sticking with this drama. Also, JooJoo is an amazing ship name.

Darnit, you win drama, I ship this SO HARDDDDDD

Love that shortly after this he learns who she actually is but also he says this:

But he does stick his neck out for her!

PS I am incredibly amused that the big bad needs three specific children for his weird plan but so far he's got 66.7% failure rate on identifying the correct children - he grabbed this lady instead of her sister, and he grabbed ML's cousin instead of him. And the only reason it's not 100% failure it because he got CZ in his lair by accident - he almost had him murdered a couple of times earlier to boot.

PS I guessed he was the lost cousin a long time ago but nice for it to be confirmed:

He's also super evil. Every family has one.

Also, unlike SFL who is evil because she forgot the past and love she had, this dude has all the memory and still decides to be evil. Respect. And a spear through the throat eventually, hopefully.
