Day late and a dollar short but we begin!
The time has come to change my pfp (tired of being mistaken for a Stan account). From now on it’ll be Jodie from Daria, who really had it figured out 😮‍💨

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

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 🥹

EVERYBODY WAKE UP!! THE PRISONER OF BEAUTY HAS BEEN RELEASED!!

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
May 12, 2025 at 9:22 PM
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 😮‍💨
May 11, 2025 at 2:46 AM
Cdrama land so dry am trying to pick up Love Like the Galaxy again after dropping it the first time round and now I’m suffering even more this time around 😮‍💨
May 6, 2025 at 6:37 PM
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
May 4, 2025 at 12:47 AM
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
May 3, 2025 at 10:16 AM
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!!
The nominations for the 61st #BaeksangAwards are out!

We open thread! 🧵✨

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.

I like Tangerines

I hated Reply 1988

I dropped My Liberation Notes

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

What are the sweetest/most romantic BL kdramas? Thai BLs are the ones that I hear about the most so I feel like I haven’t watched any?
