Watched Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein. It felt like cinematic poetry. Simply sublime.

These are "Kani Konna" flowers (Indian Laburnum). They bloom around April, and are a key element in the traditional solar new year celebrations (around April 14 or 15) for the south Indian state of Kerala.

How I feel inside compared to how I actually look. The former is a picture of an adorable panda from the Kung fu panda movies, and the latter is a picture of the villainous pirate Blackbeard Teach from the anime, One Piece.

I love watching this #Netflix show, especially around mealtimes.

"K-Foodie Meets J-Foodie"

Starring the wonderful duo, Sung Si-kyung and Matsushige Yutaka.

Watched the Korean war epic, The Admiral: Roaring Currents (2014), starring Choi Min-sik as the legendary general Yi Sun-sin. Great film. Highly recommend it.

I hear it's the first in a trilogy. So, might watch the other two as well.

Aviyal or avial, for me. It's a south Indian mixed vegetables dish. Usually has raw plantain, yam, melon, snake gourd, drumsticks, carrots, and beans, in a coconut and chilli paste. It's quite healthy, and supposedly a favourite at traditional feasts. Not a fan.

The Korean sports reality show, A Clean Sweep, about a team of retired pro baseball players going up against top amateur teams in the country is a lot of fun. And I'm usually not into sports at all.

On #Netflix. Long episodes make for a relaxing and enjoyable watch.

Highly recommend it.

Watching the Korean series, Mercy for None, on Netflix.

A gangster revenge drama with some good hand to hand fighting. Two episodes in. Fun so far.

Another Murim based #manhua I enjoyed.

-Nanomachine-

A somewhat novel premise, mixing some sci-fi into the fantasy martial arts world. The rest of the story itself is pretty straightforward action and drama. A good OP protagonist-revenge plot.

Poster for the manhwa, Nanomachine. Shows a dashing young man with long hair, clad in flowing ancient garb, wielding two swords - one white, and the other, black. There are three characters in the background partly hidden in the shadows.

3. Return of the Crazy Demon

Outrageously funny. This one feels more like a spoof of the Murim tropes than anything else. Irreverent and OP protagonist. Great writing. Made me laugh out loud more than once.

2. Return of the Mount Hua Sect

Great humor in its writing and illustration. The reincarnation premise is pretty standard, but what sets it apart is the comedic touch. The MC is an OP, yet hilarious, asshole. A lovable ensemble of supporting characters adds to the fun.

1. Legend of the Northern Blade

Beautiful art style, well drawn action scenes, good writing and layered characters. One of the best ones in this genre.
