The Devil Judge

[kyomint]

Theory: Stolas' trial

I'm going to put my theories about what will happen in Mastermind/Sinsmas in order.

At the beginning of each episode, we have a content warning. In it, we can hear a "ticking", very similar to the noise of the hands of a clock. This ticking starts in the episode "Truth Seekers" and recently some people have pointed out how the sound has decreased over the episodes. In the beginning it played during the entire warning, in "The Full Moon", it stops halfway through the warning.

Another interesting detail that we can notice in the warning is the symbol that appears in the background. This symbol is known as "Devil's Trap" and originally appears in "Solomon's Clavicle" (no, it's not from Supernatural), a grimoire with a vast collection of ancient spells, with the Devil's Trap being a spell used to immobilize and control demons.

In the LVL UP trailer, we see scenes of what appears to be a meeting between the 7 Deadly Sins and the Ars Goetia. We can assume from Vassago's lines, "Where is Stolas, anyway? We have to summon him at once" that the meeting's agenda is something that Stolas is responsible for and given Vassago's stress and Andrealphus' interference, things are ugly for him.

From the trailer it is also possible to deduce that Stolas will lose his powers at some point since in the scenes below, we see that he is completely defenseless against Andrealphus, who theoretically should be less powerful, since in the hierarchy of Ars Goetia Stolas occupies position 36, while Andrealphus occupies position 65.

Okay, but what does the ticking have to do with the meeting and Stolas' powers? Simple, the ticking of the clock is marking the time until the trial of Stolas and the I.M.P.

I believe the meeting will aim to discuss Stolas' actions and whether or not he should be tried for allowing I.M.P. to use his grimoire to gain illegal access to the human world.

Thanks to the group's carelessness in episode 6, the D.H.O.R.K.S. were able to obtain irrefutable proof of the existence of demons, which led the human government to finance the activities of the organization, which in a short time was able to discover a way to access hell.

Even if the D.H.O.R.K.S. aren't a threat at the moment, it's only a matter of time before they figure out a way to actually open a portal and then, yes, hell will have something to worry about.

Andrealphus and Stella, knowing about the affair between Stolas and Blitz, will take advantage of the situation to formally accuse him, convincing the Ars Goetia that he and I.M.P. must be judged and held accountable for their actions.

As punishment for breaking the laws of Hell, Stolas loses his titles and has his powers temporarily sealed by the Devil's Trap while he awaits official trial. Meanwhile, Stella and Andrealphus take possession of Stolas' possessions, which now rightfully belong to Stella, as the divorce has not yet been made official.

In the midst of all this, Octavia's custody will also be officially passed on to Stella, who, knowing how much Stolas cares for his daughter, will prevent them from meeting, further damaging their relationship, as we see in the speech "You don't love your mother, and you don't love me, you love HIM".

Anyway, this is what I think will happen in the next episodes, I hope the text wasn't confusing, as English is not my first language. I'm looking forward to seeing how this plot unfolds, and whether or not I got anything right!

[bylightofdawn]

So I finally broke down and started to watch the Devil Judge because I kept seeing these amazing gif sets on my timeline.

And uh, I'm loving it. I dunno why K-drama and especially crime drama just HITS SO DIFFERENT than American crime drama. I think it's because we tended to talk down to our audiences and keep things basic because god forbid they cannot follow the plot.

Meanwhile K-drama is gonna throw 6 different plot threads at you and a Gordian knot you have to untangle. I'm on episode 5 now and yes, I 1000% see where the Yo-han/Ga-On nation is coming from. I see you and am definitely one of you.

And it's so easy to fall into the trope of older, more experienced and cynical rich man and his younger, less experienced and less worldly man who gets dragged home and NEVER LEAVES. Like a stray cat who decides he's going to adopt Yo-Han and Elijah. (Which is a tangent I could go off on entirely) But yeah, prime sugar daddy/sugar baby troperific territory.

But nope. Ga-On is just straight calling Yo-Han on his bullshit and rocking his world constantly with his sometimes super vicious but completely accurate reads on him and his behavior. I love he's a mean little shit at times and doesn't let Yo-Han completely bulldoze over him which would be super easy considering Yo-Han....well let's say he gets a little hands on at time. LOL He definitely uses physicality to intimidate and goad Ga-On on at times. (and teases at times to the point of that ain't even remotely how two heterosexual men act around one another. pffft)

So yeah it's refreshing that Ga-On is the one who has his shit SLIGHTLY more together and meanwhile Yo-Han is one bad mental health day away from snapping and having a total mental breakdown. And Ga-On is going to befriend him and force him into a place of healing even if he has to drag Yo-Han kicking and screaming along the way.

And yet they are both disasters just in different ways. Suffice it to say I'm really enjoying this show.

2024 vs 2019-21

I really did design this a few months after I actually got into star trek for the first time. I don't know if the difference is as big but I feel much more comfortable with my style now. Rant under the cut.

Star trek was one of the first big fandoms I consciously started looking into. It had a special connection to me.

The first star trek thing I ever watched was the 2009 movie, although I didn't watch it in 2009 and I was far too young either way, I was too bored to read subtitles (English is not my native language). A few years passed and in 2017 I watched star trek beyond. I loved the characters but something was missing? Then I started digging into the fandom. I watched the other 2 aos movies, started looking up fanart. In 2018 I started watching tos for the first time. I never actually finished that watch, some episodes from seasons 1 and 2 and the majority of season 3 left without me touching them at all (I was watching on Netflix and like, I love(d) Spock so I usually just skipped episodes without him in them, don't judge me). In 2019, summer, I started watching the old movies (while watching the 4th one I has a very bad toothache but the movie made me feel better until I inevitably went to the dentist). I also didn't get to watch all the movies, the 5th half watched and the 6th not at all (but I do want to watch all 6 this year, let's see how that goes). Then the pandemic happened, I started rewatching my favorite episodes (the naked time, the devil in the darkness, amok time etc). I don't remember exactly when but I did watch some tas episodes too (don't remember much, only the vibes). Last year (2023) I did a full actual rewatch of tos.

If course I was reading fanfiction too at the time, the first big fanfic I've ever read was a star trek fic. I was looking at fanart and I wanted to draw too but the problem was, I couldn't figure out how to draw these characters. I was copying other styles hoping I'll find mine (it didn't work but it helped me improve I think). I have some of these early Spock drawings from 2019 but I don't know if they'll ever see the light of day. Making Spock as a pony was the only logical solution at the time. It was easy, I was familiar with mlp enough to make sense of it and also I love drawing animals. So this design was born. Over the years I just stopped drawing the gloss on his hair but the overall design didn't change.

If you couldn't guess I love drawing wings so I think this is where the most improvement lies. But I do think the anatomy is better as well.

I'm not reading all that, so let's hope I didn't make any mistakes while writing it (I'm not good at writing so there're definitely mistakes in here :| ).

[thegreymoon]

Doing an end-of-the-year ranking of the dramas I watched this year and the last purely on how much I enjoyed them. I am including 2023 because I only managed to finish two (!!!) dramas that year. I'm not including the ones I dropped, at least one of which was such pure garbage that it nearly ended my enjoyment of dramas as a whole.

1. Connection

Excellent drama, 100/10, no notes. Ji Sung is perfection and so is this entire show. I enjoyed it immensely.

2. Black Wedding

This one was an unexpected hit for me because I typically don't enjoy ex-Yu productions nearly so much. Great cinematography, excellent acting, horror right up my alley. I loved everything!

3. Beyond Evil

Flawless! Showstopping! Ranked no. 3 just because I have to have a ranking but it may as well have been no. 1 too. Excellent drama, 10/10, would absolutely recommend.

4. The Devil Judge

I adored Ji Sung as Kang Yohan but loathed Kim Gaon, so this drama cannot go higher. With that said, it bears repeating that Ji Sung is absolutely perfect.

5. The Story of Minglan

This one fell a bit short of expectations, but admittedly, the expectations were soaring sky-high and might have been impossible to meet. The fantastic parts of this drama were really mind-blowingly good, but I did also spend long stretches bored out of my mind and was left unsatisfied by many of the choices that were made when filming this. Unpopular opinion incoming: while I loved Minglan, I hated Gu Tingye. I gave him chance after chance and made countless excuses, but eventually gave up and by the end of the drama, I loathed him so much that my skin was crawling whenever he showed his face. In addition, I feel like Feng Shaofeng was grossly miscast here and was not at all impressed by his acting skills.

6. The Double

This is hardly a masterpiece but I was superbly entertained for the entire duration of the show. Princess Wanning was an unexpected favourite! They really lucked out with the casting here.

7. Judge Dee's Mystery

Overall, this drama is just not great, but it has Zhou Yiwei in the main role, who, as always, is perfection. I would 100% watch again just for him, but if it had been anyone else in the main role, I would have found it hard to sit through more than a few episodes.

8. Eternal Brotherhood

I enjoyed this drama just fine when I was watching it but I just did not find it particularly memorable. The main draw for me was the older cast which was killed off halfway through and then we were left with the younger generation which barely held my interest. Will still watch season 2 when it airs, though.

9. Lighter and Princess

Overall, I think this is probably a good drama, it just wasn't my cup of tea in any way, shape or form. I spent a good 80% of it bored out of my skull. With that said, I kept watching because I love Chen Feiyu, who, let's be honest, was the only reason I picked this up in the first place. Do I regret watching this? No. Would I have watched a single second of it if they had cast someone else as the ML? Not in a million years.

[profiterole-reads]

2023 Favourites

In no particular order. This is content I've read and watched in 2023, not necessarily content released in 2023.

Books

1. Notorious Sorcerer by Davinia Evans: fantasy with some m/m. The protagonist travels to other planes for alchemical ingredients and ends up having to learn greater workings. I love the Byzantine vibe of the worldbuilding.

2. The Daughters of Izdihar by Hadeer Elsbai: fantasy with some f/f. Two women, a waterweaver and an earthweaver, join a women's rights movement. I love the Egyptian-inspired worldbuilding.

3. Reforged by Seth Haddon: m/m fantasy. This King/Paladin novel has a surprising plot. The magic system is very original as well, I especially like the music part of it.

4. The Buried and the Bound by Rochelle Hassan: urban fantasy with some m/m (YA). The hedgewitch protecting the town teams up with a boy cursed to forget his true love and another one trapped as a bondservant.

5. [Spanish] Lazos de Sangre by LR Jeffers: m/m urban fantasy (erotica). This is a series about werewolves and big cat shifters, usually angsty and hot.

6. [French] Meute by Karine Rennberg: urban fantasy with some m/m + another protagonist is aroace and uses sign language. This is a novel about building your own werewolf pack. I think this is my first time encountering 2nd-person narration in French and it works surprisingly well.

7. Cascade by Rachel A. Rosen: science fantasy with mlm and wlw protagonists + no romance. An ecological disaster has freed magic. In Canada, the Party works with a wizard in order to try and save humanity. I love the intricacies of the plot, which skilfully mixes politics, science and magic.

8. Ocean's Echo by Everina Maxwell: m/m science fiction. Telepathy, my favourite trope, done by one of my fave authors! It was even better than I expected.

9. The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei: science fiction/murder mystery with several non-binary major characters. 80 people from all around the world embark on a one-way interstellar voyage. As they're all required to get pregnant, they're obviously afab, but several are non-binary, with mentions of a trans man.

10. Forget Me Not by Alyson Derrick: f/f romance (YA). This is a very romantic novel about two girls dating in secret until one gets amnesia. I enjoy this trope a lot.

TV shows

1. Good Omens: fantasy with queer protagonists + some f/f. I love the book and I love the adaptation. Season 2 is original content, but it's faithful to the spirit of the novel.

2. Shadow and Bone: fantasy with some m/m (YA). This successfully mixes the Shadow and Bone trilogy (that I haven't read) and the Six of Crows duology (that I have read and enjoyed).

3. Warrior Nun: fantasy with some f/f. Nuns literally fight against demons.

4. The Power: superpower fiction with some f/f + a trans woman and an intersex man. Teenage girls start developing an electrical superpower, which makes them safer from men.

5. Nü Er Hong: GL wuxia. This c-drama is a quick watch, with 27 episodes of 2 minutes. I love that these short webdramas always have more or less the same actresses.

6. The Devil Judge: dystopia/thriller with BL vibes. This k-drama has a tight plot and fascinating characters. There's a girl in a wheelchair and the rep is well done.

7. Naughty Babe: BL romance/murder (attempt) mystery. This Thai drama is the sequel to Cutie Pie, except that they switched up the main pairing and the secondary pairing. I think it's possible to watch it on its own.

8. Wedding Plan: BL + GL romcom. This Thai drama has mlm-wlw solidarity, which I hope to see more of in the future. There are also cameos from the BL couples from Love in the Air.

9. Oh! My Assistant: BL romcom. This hilarious k-drama is about a het porn webtoon creator and his assistant. Despite this topic, the drama is not explicit.

10. Welcome to the Lesbian Bar: GL contemporary fiction. This k-drama is a quick watch, with 5 episodes of 6 minutes. In each episode, 2 customers come have a drink and chat with the owner.

Movies

1. Barbie: fantasy that is so gender! This was such a big surprise coming from Hollywood.

2. Nimona: fantasy with a protagonist who is a trans/enby allegory + some m/m (YA). I haven't read the graphic novel, so this was more depressing than I expected (it deals a lot with discrimination), but still an excellent movie.

3. Wingwomen (Voleuses in the original French): action movie with a sapphic protagonist + f/f vibes between the other two. I love heist movies all about women.

4. Kill Bok-soon: action movie with some f/f. This Korean movie has interesting cinematography. Note that it's very violent, though.

5. Red, White & Royal Blue: m/m romcom. I love the book and I love the adaptation.

6. Anything's Possible: m/f romance with a trans female protagonist (YA). This is a very positive movie, about love, art and nature.

7. Fanfic: m/m romance with a trans male protagonist (YA). This Polish movie is sometimes dark, sometimes fun.

The Red Devil's Chronicles - Feb. 2025 Devil May Cry News Updates: Netflix, Hints, etc.

Hey, how's it going? Here are the latest Devil May Cry news updates I've gathered:

1. New Dante statue made by a couple artists. b) NabeHands has been busy with their crafting. c) And a group called 3DCG is making a life-sized Dante statue that will be showcased in Japan somewhere.

2. A Morphicon event took place in either August, September, or October of 2024. Vergil’s voice Dan Southworth hints at another voice acting role he’s gonna star in. b) This caused a bunch of rumours of a new Devil May Cry game to surface. c) Along with Nero's voice Johnny Bosch plausibly hinting at something in the making. d) And Dante's voice Reuben Langdon also plausibly hinting something.

3. More Dante merch available at the Capcom store.

4. Former Devil May Cry director Hideki Kamiya shares something interesting, which is about where the Devil May Cry world fits in with the games he directed.

5. Johnny Long (aka Johnny Vincent) has finished their fan video.

6. The first episode clip of the Netflix series has been shown publicly, along with a fun bit from Johnny Bosch and Adi Shankar (skip to 1:39:10 of the video).

My Thoughts On These Updates:

1. Glad we're getting more awesome figures being made. Too bad I still don't have the room for them (yet).

2. I'm surprised that I missed that Morphicon info last year. Then again, hardly anybody's talked about it until recently, and I'm not too big into Power Rangers which made me assume that it was gonna be just Power Rangers talk there. With these hints surfacing, I'm just gonna sit back, and try not to get my hopes up too much. In other words, I'm just gonna wait and see what we eventually get.

3. 2nd time recently now where it shows Capcom still cares about Devil May Cry and wants to do more with it.

4. I'm surprised Kamiya's still talking Devil May Cry since he doesn't own the rights to it anymore, and how he wants more Bayonetta talk since Bayonetta's his property. Maybe him collaborating with Capcom on some things have inspired him.

5. Not bad of a fan project. Not sure what else to say, but not bad.

6. All I can say about the Netflix clip shown is that I like what's happening so far, and still looking forward to its release. The only criticisms I have are how it's gonna take some accustoming to with Johnny's voice, and the animation is a bit choppy. Then again it's understandable that when you're on a timer and making action sequences like that, you gotta make some quality sacrifices. Every video game, TV show, project, anime, etc. does this. And Johnny does great with what he does, it's just the mix of Nero/Vash voices that's gonna take some getting used to.

The main thing I'm having a problem with it though is the foolish discourse that's happening between the fans. People just can't keep their heads straight and do their research can they? Instead they'd rather judge books by their covers, label people with slurs and other offensive things, are afraid to be in the wrong, and would rather stick with whatever happens in a game or 2, their own head-canons, fanfics, memes, and/or fan arts. It's funny...They want a Devil May Cry 6 to happen so bad, but who's to say we're ever gonna get one now that they're acting like this.

I admit that there were times where I got petty and harsh towards those that were acting idiotic, and I feel ashamed and am sorry for giving off that behaviour. Glad things are toning down a bit for now, and that Johnny and Adi are taking the harshness of the rabid fans really well. Looking forward to April.

Polygon recommends TV

www.polygon.com

Release date: March 25 for season 1, Q2 for season 2

Episode count: 8 in season 1, TBA for season 2

Recommended for fans of: The Glory, D.P., Skins

Weak Hero Class 1 follows Yeon Si-eun (idol turned actor Park Ji-hoon), a top student who only cares about his studies. When classroom bully Jeon Yeong-bin (Kim Su-gyeom) targets Si-eun, he is unwillingly pulled into the ruthless culture of school violence and must decide what to do about it. With the unlikely help of slacker boxer Ahn Su-ho (Twinkling Watermelon’s Choi Hyun-wook) and timid nerd Oh Beom-seok (Revenant’s Hong Kyung), Si-eun fights back.

I saw the first three episodes of Weak Hero Class 1 on the big screen at the Busan International Film Festival in 2022, and the execution of the fight scenes blew me away. Based on a webcomic, the violent coming-of-age drama has some of the most visceral action scenes I had seen in a long time. That they mostly take place between teenage boys, and often the context of classroom bullying only adds to their well-executed intensity. Weak Hero Class 1 was released in 2022, on Viki in the U.S., and found a passionate audience. However, its upcoming release on Netflix ahead of a second season will make it much more accessible to K-drama fans and others.

I am an Army! I’ve been a fan almost since their debut😍 hbu? Are you into other groups or is it mostly BTS? Also, what are your top favorite shows?😅🫣

WOOAAAHHH You're like a veteran ARMY and that's so cool!! You got to see them grow over the years as individuals and artists. So on that note, what do you think of the progress from the stickers censoring any display of skin to the insanity we have now?💀(I'm sorry for being unserious) oh and who's your bias and bias wrecker?

I became a fan in 2020. I'm into ATEEZ too, they are pretty awesomeee. Since I like to explore in terms of music, I know the Rose, Seventeen, Stray Kids(they were actually my first ever kpop group), Enhypen and NCT, RIIZE and CIX.

But it's mostly BTS for me :D In this Bangtan shit for lifeee🙂‍↕️💜💜

My top favorite shows, in no particular order:-

●Beyond Evil (a show I will always keep coming back to, always. It feels like home )

●Killer and Healer (the last episode did not happen. That's it.)

● The Devil Judge (I kind of wanted Gaon to elope with Yohan T_T)

● Lucifer (my beloved, I have so many memories and feelings; season 6 was sort of unnecessary)

● Evil (we NEED season 4)

● The Exorcist (WHY DO MY FAVORITE SHOWS GET CANCELLED WHYYY)

● Prodigal Son (same as above)

● Legends of Tomorrow (even though I haven't watched all the seasons, I am (very) attached to the characters)

● Hannibal (this show is serious to the point that it reaches the territory of hilarity. Very aesthetic and visually stunning)

● Strangers from Hell (fun show, keeps you guessing)

● Supernatural (again, I haven't been able to watch all seasons, but I am attached to the characters and I would fight for them)

● Guardian (I absolutely ADORE thiss)

● Psychopath Diary (severely underrated, this is a gem! It's not overly dark, is funny and sticks to the point)

● Good Manager (OOOO THIS IS PEAK COMEDY and so so heartwarming)

What are your top favorite showss👀👀 and I'm sorry if this got too long😭 I tend to get carried away.

[amethystina]

I'm finally watching The Devil Judge again, just finished watching episode 6.

Man, you do not want to mess with Judge Kang. Minister Cha clearly thought she had the upper hand but then BOOM!

Also, I can't get over the fact how different Judge Kang looks with his hair not styled up. I swear he almost looks like a totally different person!

Welcome back ;)

Yeah, trying to outsmart Yo Han is just... generally a very bad idea. I mean, it's not IMPOSSIBLE but it sure as hell isn't easy. And, tbh, even if you manage to win a battle here or there, he'll still find a way to win the war. That man just does not give up. Ever.

And tell me about it! Despite how famous he is, I think a lot of people wouldn't even recognise him if he passed them on the street with his hair down. It's truly baffling and I love it so much. He looks so soft and boyish with his hair down? What's not to love?

[yohangaontdj]

The Devil Judge Rewatch Ep 6 (Part 4)

Continuation of Part 3 which can be found here.

The next bit, we have the family eating together for the first time. And look at the spread Gaon had prepared, which was more like a feast than just breakfast.

And here we have Yohan puffing his cheeks out at Elijah. And Elijah refusing to look at him, obviously still pissed at how Yohan had teased her.

And that wasn't the only silliness Yohan had exhibited. Look at him, jealous of his own AI butler for calling Gaon master.

Now we have Elijah saying that she hated Korean cusine. And going on to spout some ridiculous reason for being llke this.

And now that I'm rewatching this with the knowledge that it was her way of keeping Miss Ji's terrible cooking a secret. It's so endearing and love her so much for doing this.

And look at Yohan trying to keep a straight face when he obviously knew that Elijah was lying.

Next, we have Yohan doing exactly what Elijah had done. Protecting Miss Ji by saying he couldn't taste anything.

And here is Elijah giving him a dirty look. Cause she knew it's a big fat lie too.

And I love how they can read each other so well. They do have a closeness that goes beyond words - even though they will deny it vehemently, should anyone point that out to them.

The next bit, I really dunno what to say except... Why must Yohan eat kimchi in such a way?

And looking at Gaon as he did so. 🤣

Makes me wonder if he had read some lousy book about how to seduce your love interest.

Even though this might not be much, but I love it a lot.

And it's when Gaon had faltered when Elijah had asked if his parents had stopped running a restaurant. And Yohan, he could have tried to steer the conversation away from what was definitely a sensitive topic.

But he didn't. And had kept quiet, letting Gaon decide how he wanted to handle the situation.

And how can we ever forget this! Miss Ji stumbling on the happy scene.

And Yohan! Gosh, he really's so cute - mouth stuffed with Gaon's cooking and looking like a guilty child caught in a naughty act.

Then attempting to escape Miss Ji and nearly choking himself

And Elijah! Keeping quiet and unobtrusive throughout the whole incident. Probably trying to escape from being questioned by Miss Ji as well.

And then we have Gaon, oblivious to all that was happening and telling Miss Ji he had left food for her.

I'll never tire of watching this.

And now, we have Gaon and how cool he was riding the motorcycle.

But he had to learn how to fight better.

And last but not least.

How can someone look so... just by drinking water.

If Yohan had seen this, might make him thirsty for something else more than just water.

And then there's this when Yohan had stumbled out of his car after getting kidnapped.

He's just so... And it had my imagination thinking of Gaon on his knees and... (You can refer to him drinking water to get an idea.)

I'll stop here for now, even though there's more I'll love to say about this episode. And see u in the rewatch for Ep 7.

[spaceymarz]

I'm on The Devil Judge episode 6

and this show is so fun and interesting, but also so fucking corny and confusing. Sometimes I think it's intricate and there's a bigger picture that I'm not seeing, but I can't help but assume it's actually super predictable. Why the fuck are we (Gaon) still in that man's (Yohan's) house?? Is Gaon supposed to be stupid? Whenever they mention his "immature past" I'm like lol, what has changed? He's playing little baby games with his little audio recorder bug thing and showing his hand to all of his enemies every time he has an unproven assumption. I'm not understanding why he doesn't at least have the agency to make allies. He keeps picking fights with Yohan, doesn't care at all to befriend Judge Oh or Sunah, and his only friends are absolutely useless. Suhyeon is not smart. She has no leverage as a police officer and she just goes around expecting to dig shit up with no warrant or subpoena or anything? The way they questioned Elijah, too, was so tactless. Am I supposed to be rooting for these fools??

Whatever. I'm very entertained by this show and will continue to watch it. This isn't a hate post, I'm just yapping

Which is my favorite Kdrama network?

When I'm bored I like to list and categorize things. Today I've decided to discover, statistically, which Korean drama network is my favorite based on shows I've watched.

Including both shows I've completed and shows I've dropped bc in this case, the shows I don't like are relevant.

Using my ratings from MyDramaList :) which means however I felt the first time I finished watching a show, basically. Not including networks where I've only watched one show (e.g., Disney+, Wavve, Channel A).

JTBC:

Agency--Dropped

Beyond Evil--6

Itaewon Class--Dropped

My Country the New Age--10

Private Lives--Dropped

Reflection of You--Dropped

Sisyphus: The Myth--Dropped

I can't believe this network produced My Country the New Age when everything else I've watched by them has been a flop for me. Beyond Evil came the closest to breaking the curse but even then. Itaewon Class is one of my least favorite shows I've ever tried to watch; I've forgotten most of the details now but a bad taste lingers.

KBS:

White Christmas--10

Mad Dog--8

The King's Affection--10

River Where the Moon Rises--Dropped

Should I have given River Where the Moon Rises more of a chance? Bc apparently this network only makes bangers.

MBC:

Extraordinary You--7

Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung--9

The Veil--7

Idk what to say about this one. RHGH is pretty damn good but I think I would probs like it less watching it now than I did in 2019, newish to kdramas and ready to love anything. But it's a fave regardless, and Extraordinary You and The Veil are both fairly watchable. A serviceable network.

MBN:

Perfect Marriage Revenge--Dropped

Sponsor--Dropped

A network to watch a few episodes with the desire to see dogblood plots, and then leave.

Netflix:

Bloodhounds--8

My Holo Love--Dropped

Gyeongseong Creature--Dropped

Song of Bandits--8

The Silent Sea--7

It's Netflix. I don't know that they're ever going to make a real favorite for me but they're fairly competent.

OCN:

Save Me--8

Duel--Dropped

A Superior Day--Dropped

Apparently it takes Seo Ye-ji and Woo Do-hwan's powers combined to make me finish a show by this network. You'd think it would be easier bc they seem to enjoy angst and whump, but I think they pour it on a little too thick.

SBS:

Doctor Stranger--Dropped

Lovers of the Red Sky--8

Revenant--9

The King: Eternal Monarch--7

The Killing Vote--Dropped

Remember: War of the Son--Dropped

Honestly I might come back to at least one of these dropped shows. Their track record on plots is okay, but their actors are really good.

TVN:

100 Days My Prince--Dropped

Alchemy of Souls--9

Bad and Crazy--Dropped

Circle: Two Worlds Connected--9

Confession--6

Devil Judge--9

Eve--8

Flower of Evil--10

Hotel del Luna--Dropped

It's Okay to Not Be Okay--8

Mine--8

Mr. Sunshine--8

Our Blooming Youth--Dropped

Pandora: Beneath the Paradise--Dropped

Psychopath Diary--9

Tale of the Nine-Tailed--Dropped

Clearly I just start the most show by them. Do they make the most shows? I don't know. Good concepts and good cinematic quality on most of these shows, with just a few exceptions. Pretty solid network.

Viki:

Color Rush--8

I Picked Up a Star On the Road--6

Where Your Eyes Linger--8

You Make Me Dance--6

Mixed bag.

The takeaways:

I should probably watch more KBS. On my to-watch list, that translates to Youth of May, the Bridal Mask, Hwarang, the Bloody Heart, and Orange Marmalade. So mostly historical dramas, which is a pity bc apparently I also like their thrillers.

Really, though, my to-watch list at this point has a ton of SBS and MBC on it for some reason, at least with shows that have already come out. According to my stats so far, my odds are pretty mixed on liking them or not.

Somehow, one feels, I will actually end up watching more TVN instead... but that has yet to materialize. (except the one kdrama I'm currently watching is a TVN drama. so.)

Did I really learn anything? No. and on that note, good night.
