Happy New Year! I think I'll start posting here this year. Will post about shows and films I've watched and maybe books I've read. I watch mostly kdramas but I do watch varied types/ genres, including animes, other Asian dramas, and the typical Hollywood fare/ UK/ Canadian shows.
Book#54. #IronFlame by Rebecca Yarros (2023)
So the wait for this one on Libby was much shorter than for the first book, and I got the ebook this time rather than the audiobook. Very exciting follow up, with another jaw-dropping ending. This author seems to like cliffhanger endings! #Booksky

TV#123. #MyLadyJane (2024)
Witty, darkly comic, very sexy – this series is set in an alternate version of 16th century England where people who can turn into animals are persecuted. The sardonic narrator and the modern soundtrack adds to the charm. Wish it wasn’t cancelled. 8.5/10 #TVSky

Film#97. #WakeUpDeadMan - A #KnivesOut Mystery (2025)
Another excellent whodunit, with thematic layers and great character work. The dark humour is still there and I was enthralled with following the unraveling of the mystery; I didn’t even notice that the film was 2.5 hours long. 8/10 #Filmsky

TV#122. #ITWelcomeToDerry S1 (2025)
Season 1 is called Chapter 1 and I hope we get Chapters 2 and 3 as planned. This horror series pulls no punches and I love it so much, with the Easter eggs and the callbacks to other Stephen King places/characters. The child actors are excellent! 9.5/10 #TVSky

Book#53. #FourthWing by Rebecca Yaros (2023) | Read by Rebecca Soler and Teddy Hamilton
The first of five novels, I picked this up because the 3rd book was released this year and seems to be loved by many. I quite enjoyed the worldbuilding and mythology around the dragons and their riders. #Booksky

TV#121. Creepshow S1 (2019)
I watched the first film, and I had the 1982 graphic novella too; didn’t realize there was a TV series (a Shudder original). I watched these 6 episodes on Hoopla. Enjoyably creepy, love them. 8.5/10 #TVSky

Film#96. Cart (2014)
This Korean film is not an easy watch as we see workers struggle against unfair dismissal and job conditions, sometimes actual physical violence. The fight is the point though, and we see one person in particular find her voice. 7/10 #Filmsky

TV#120. #MrSunshine (2018)
I resisted watching this #kdrama because it happened at such a desperately sad time in Joseon’s history, but I'm glad I watched it. It's a love story: for a person, for a cause, for a country. We see yearning and loss, but the series ends on a hopeful note. 9.5/10 #TVSky

Book#52. A Conspiracy of Faith by Jussi Adler-Olsen (2009) | Translated by Martin Aitken
In this 3rd Dept Q novel, our villain is a suave guy who has been committing the same crime for years. We learn something new about both Rose and Assad this time, too. I really liked this one. #Booksky

Nice workplace #kdrama set in the late 90s with some romance on the side. I found the weekly setbacks stressful though, but I love the side characters. I want to know what this song's title is! 8/10 #TVSky www.youtube.com/shorts/ODh7f...

I actually like this sequel to the series more than the original; the characters are much more interesting to me, especially Percival. I do wonder why Arthur changed so much though. 7.5/10 #TVSky #Anime

TV#117. Dear Edward (2023)
This show centers on Edward, a young boy who is the sole survivor of a plane crash that took the lives of everyone else on it, including his family. We also watch how a disparate group of people, loved ones of the victims, cope with the grief. 8/10 #TVSky

There’s some really bad acting from some parties here, but it’s so bad, it’s actually funny. Also, who can believe Han Ga In is ugly with glasses on? The women in this #kdrama are all gorgeous, and Jae Hee is very charming. Starts out ok, but loses steam. 6/10 #TVSky

TV#115. #TheMorningShow S4 (2025)
