Enjoying this goofy unserious show! It’s like someone took all my fave tropes and put them in a blender. A demonic FL (complimentary) a terrible person of a ML (complimentary) a loving grandma & everyone just a soupçon insane #GenieMakeAWish

With each author getting $3000 all this does is teach A.I. companies it’s far cheaper to steal and settle than to individually license these works bc no way is an author’s life works worth $3k. THIS is what JK Rowling should be focusing on as the world’s richest author 😮💨
Anthropic Agrees to Pay $1.5 Billion to Settle Lawsuit With Book Authors
The settlement is the largest payout in the history of U.S. copyright cases and could lead more A.I. companies to pay rights holders for use of their works.

BTW when I pointed this out on The Bad Place, Yoona stans and a bunch of well *women I do not support* jumped me talking about ‘they changed the name in the drama so it’s fictional now’. When I pointed out that the issue is why on earth the terrible novel got adapted in the first place?! Crickets.
Hold. Up. The ML in Bon Appetit is based on King Yeonsangun????? It's like making a rom-com hero out of Vlad the Impaler 😱🔪🩸💀 #kdrama

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeonsan...
![In 1504, Im Sa-hong revealed to Yeonsangun the details of his mother's death and showed him a blood-stained piece of clothing that was obtained from Lady Yun's mother, the blood allegedly vomited by her after taking poison. [2]
Subsequently, Yeonsangun beat to death two of his father's concubines, Lady Jeong and Lady Eom, for their part in his mother's death. His grandmother, Grand Royal Queen Dowager Insu, also passed away soon after he pushed her during an altercation. He sentenced to death many government officials who had supported the execution of his mother, now posthumously honored as "Queen Jeheon" (제헌왕후; 齊獻王后), and ordered the grave of Han Myonghoe to be opened and the head to be cut off the corpse.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ntwvzw54lkwsym3hy4hjs3fo/bafkreifl3sif5lkqjewrggs5qlpb74h6tqtotjddpkqdisxfpsvk7aabt4@jpeg)
![Yeonsangun closed Sungkyunkwan, the royal university, as well as the temple Wongaksa, and converted them into personal pleasure grounds, for which young girls were gathered from the eight provinces. [3] He also demolished a large residential area in the capital and evicted 20,000 residents to build hunting grounds. [4] People were forced into involuntary labor to work on these projects. Many commoners mocked and insulted him with posters written in hangul, and in retaliation, Yeonsangun banned the use of the script. Furthermore, Yeonsangun was the only monarch of the Joseon dynasty who tried to dismantle Buddhism in Joseon, he attempted to abolish the system of head monasteries and examinations during his reign. [5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ntwvzw54lkwsym3hy4hjs3fo/bafkreiery2e6bm7pqdl4uzkqctn6oyh3y7y5lzokckhzetuutl3iynngze@jpeg)
![When court officials protested against his actions, he abolished the Office of Censors (whose function was to criticize any inappropriate actions or policies of the king) and the Office of Special Advisors (a library and research institute that advised the king with Confucian teachings). [6] He ordered his ministers to wear a sign that read: "A mouth is a door that brings in disaster; a tongue is a sword that cuts off a head. A body will be in peace as long as its mouth is closed and its tongue is deep within" (口是禍之門 舌是斬身刀 閉口深藏舌 安身處處牢).[7]
Chief Eunuch Kim Cheo-sun, who had served three kings, tried to convince him to change his ways, but Yeonsangun killed him by shooting arrows and personally cutting off his limbs. In addition, he also punished the eunuch's relatives down to the 7th degree, and when he asked the royal secretaries whether such punishment was appropriate, they did not dare to say otherwise. [8]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ntwvzw54lkwsym3hy4hjs3fo/bafkreibqkq2egqz5gwodsmla5jxofqnwo6uzzytf3w2x4qex3wbw6laq6q@jpeg)
![On July 19, 1504, the 10th year of his reign, three Hangul 'tuseo's [a] (투서; 投書), with the contents mocking and insulting him for his tyranny was discovered. The tuseos criticized him of his violence to his ministers, and his lust for women, and the author was unidentifiable. Enraged, Yeonsan ordered a total ban of the learning, teaching, or using of Hangul, and ordered the five Hansung administrative districts to identify and report of the individuals who know to use it, and to punish people who knowingly didn't report of their neighbors. He also ordered for the comparisons of handwriting of people who have been reported. In addition, he hung up high-ranking titles and lots of money as bounty for the author. [9]
On July 22, he ordered the beheadings of people who use Hangul, and a hundred beatings (곤장; 棍杖) for persons who knowingly did not report others. He ordered his court's ministers to burn all books at their homes with Hangul Gugyeol footnotes, however allowed Hangul books translated from Hanja.

Now that it’s finished I have to get something off my chest. #MarryMyHusbandJAPAN is NOT a remake. The kdrama is NOT the original work! Both shows are ADAPTATIONS!! One of a webtoon and the other of the original web novel.

I did not enjoy this week’s eps of #HeadOverHeels I’m so sick of Bong-su and he needed to get gone last week. I cannot believe the writer has sidelined the ML for so long. Everyone coddling Bong-su when they should be performing an exorcism!

Actually let me just pin this here bc the drama is advertised as a tragedy so I won’t blame the writer (whose work I don’t care for) if she goes w/ a sad ending bc it’s hardly a surprise.
I would add that I expect Feud to have a sad ending bc the writer often does sad or hated open endings ie Princess Agents, A Moment But Forever (sad ending even tho the novel has a happy one!) Demon Hunter’s Romance. Don’t get me started on the producer (only ever had 1 HE that cnetz demanded)

Absolutely adored #LegendofZangHai and am glad it stayed great all the way to the end. It did NOT pull its punches, with standout performances from Xiao Zhan, Zhang Jingyi and a solid supporting cast. Definitely one of my top cdramas of the year!

Nothing is appealing to me while I wait for my ongoings so am rewatching a classic: Lost Love in Times. Liu Shi Shi and William Chan did their big one with this drama 🥹

Am halfway through ep 1 of #SecondShotAtLove and I like that the FL is relatively unsympathetic, her drinking isn’t cutesy & she’s def using alcohol as a crutch for sth

Been passing time during this drama drought by watching dramas I missed when airing bc I (correctly) judged I wouldn’t much like them. Currently it’s Twinkling Watermelon. Am 13/16 eps in & the pacing is deeply flawed 😮💨

Am mainly in a drought while I await my anticipated cdramas so am finally getting around to watching Family By Choice. I know a lot of Go Ahead purists were split on this but honestly I think a 16 ep drama will clean up some of the flaws of Go Ahead, which I dropped at like ep 30

Am not watching this drama but I’ve seen this sentiment a lot from ppl who are and I honestly have no idea what the drama is doing. The ML/the actor playing him is not a hit with netizens at allll 😭
Definitely big time second lead syndrome with cdrama #Serendipity right now 😅😭

Have seen a few opinions viewing #PumpUpTheHealthyLove on a surface level. This is an absurdist comedy, absurdism takes a heightened approach to point out the fallacy of things society is often obsessed with. Step further than satire which is theme-focused, it questions our very reality

I am 2 minutes into #PumpUpTheHealthyLove and I cannot stop laughing. It starts off by (correctly) comparing ML Lee Jun Young to Michelangelo’s David and is an absurdist comedy (hiding real points about gym bros)! Haven’t laughed like this since Gaus Electronics

Happiness is an EXCELLENT thriller and romance and is exemplary of what the heart of the horror genre can achieve (thrillers are a sub-genre of horror) I would teach it in screenwriting classes if I could
Day 19 - zombies
Happiness
While I’ve heard great things about Kingdom, and it’s high on my list, I’m not big into horror. But green flag Park Hyung Sik was amazing.

Started watching the cdrama Wanna Be, with zero hopes and am pleasantly surprised to say it’s interesting! Too early to say if it’s good or not but the FL is complex and they haven’t tried to make her likeable, the world is interesting and the plot is somewhat intriguing

Glad Lovely Runner got nominations, romances are extraordinarily difficult to do well, including technically! Yet they’re oft-dismissed especially if they’re not historical. Multiple timelines, several versions of the leads & pitch perfect performances to sell the suspension of disbelief. AWARDS!!

I broadly put all creative works into 5 categories. 1: Executed well, had a clear voice and moved me, 2: executed well, had a clear voice & didn’t move me, 3: poor/mediocre execution, clear voice & moved me, 4: poor/mediocre execution, clear voice & didn’t move me. 5: poor execution & unclear voice.
I loved My Mister.

There's really no rhyme or reason to this stuff, sometimes you vibe with a drama and sometimes you don't. 🤷
