I wanted to watch the movie until she spit in my face with her stupid dog-whistling ad campaign. Thanks but no thanks.

PS: in case people missed it the 1st time, I recommend giving The Fire Inside a chance.

2. The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague

It took me a while to finish this one as the pace was a bit slow toward the end of the season. BUT I had a good time. The characters are adorable and so are their powers!

SUMMER WRAP UP

1. Apothecary Diaries (season 2)

Im so glad, this season kept the momentum going from season 1. The strengths of the show are still the interconnected mysteries and Maomao's gremlin personality. Special mention to Lady Loulan!

2. Off Stage Love Side

A BL love story btw a celebrity and his bodyguard, do I actually need to say more? The story was very wholesome as the love interest is a total green flag. Plus, the art is fantastic. I totally want to read the sequel!

WRAP UP (2025)

1. I Tamed my Ex-Husband Mad Dog

I was really enjoying this manwha UNTIL the last season. The 3rd-act breakup lasted for far too long imo and the way both protagonists mistreated their children ruined the reading experience for me.

3. Windbreaker (season 1)

I didnt expect to love this underrated delinquant anime so much but I did! The art is easy on the eye, the story is so wholesome/full of "heart" and all the characters, "villains" included are very likeable. Had a great time.

2. Yona and the Dawn (season 1)

This is a shoujo classic for good reasons. I'm a huge fan of the worldbuilding and characters. Yona's growth in particular was very satisfying. I'm frustrated, the anime doesnt adapt the entirety of the manga.

SPRING WRAP UP

1. Solo Leveling (season 2)

I read a lot of (justified) criticisms on this anime but I cant help it, if I love it unconditionally. I was already a big fan of the manwha and it's being ALMOST faithfully adapted. I cant wait for season 3.
