Doing this for the Kmusical Frankenstein pt 2: tumblr deleted the original electric boogaloo

gonna say why I did/didn't circle certain things under cut if people are interested

This is gonna be in whatever order I think is most fun :3c

The names of characters have been changed because of reasons -> Victor is still Victor Frankenstein, but Henry is Henry Dupre and Elizabeth is Julia. Victor also has a sister named Ellen and a butler named Runge, and Julia's father is named Stephan. Also Julia's family is the one who takes in Victor.

Set in the Victorian or Regency era instead of late 1700s -> it's set in 1815 during and post the Napoleonic Wars

Victor is a doctor -> Well, we don't know exactly, but he is the head of R&D in the military, so presumably?

Adam is not brought to life in a college dorm room -> He's brought to life in Victor's family laboratory (Victor's father was a doctor)

Adam has the memories/personality of a person that his body parts came from -> the Creature's head is Henry's (he was beheaded after being accused of murder long story lol also each of the main character actors play 2 roles in the musical it's really fun) and some actors choose to have the Creature remember bits and pieces of his past as Henry.

Adam's movements are neurodivergent coded to make him "scarier" or more "childlike" -> Definitely to make him more "childlike", but as such he ends up "growing out" of it

Adam never mentions or references Paradise Lost -> He might, but if he does it's lost on me since I haven't read it lol. But also he doesn't have any time to read it because instead of living with the DeLacey's, he's captured and forced to fight in an illegal fight ring.

We are expected to actually like Victor and Elizabeth as a couple -> I put this as "???" because I think so, but also Henry and the Creature get in the way of those two's relationship so often, and their relationship hinges on one promise they made as children so idk compared to Henry and Victor's relationship it really doesn't hold any ground LOL

No Walton -> The ending doesn't involve a boat so for all we know maybe Victor did meet a Walton on his way there, but he sure has left him behind by that point.

Victor is buff for some reason -> I put this as "depends" because it depends on which actor is playing Victor lol. You have everything from "Used to be a baseball player but shifted to musical acting post career" Min Woohyuk Victor to "My friends and I call him a flamingo for a reason" Jeon Dongsuk Victor to "Super Junior Idol" Kyuhyun Victor so, every flavor of Victor exists LOL

Some things I didn't circle I want to talk about cause why not

What do you mean Frankenstein had more themes than "don't play god" -> While that's definitely one of the major themes of the musical, there's definitely some themes of "What undiagnosed trauma does to a motherfucker" and "behold the consequences of your actions"

Adam doesn't like fire -> The Creature's big number involves him setting fire to the fight ring that captured him so, I mean, I rather think he likes fire lol

Heterosexual Clerval -> Henry in this is gay, he is so gay, he is unbelievably gay. More people have to listen to "In Your Dreams" and tell me that Henry is so gay for Victor and people have to listen to "Life in a Glass of Liquor" and tell me those two are so gay for each other fr fr

Anyway, while this definitely isn't the best Frankenstein adaptation, it's definitely one of my favorites XD

#frankenstein #Korean Musical Frankenstein #i spent an hour on this and then another redoing it 👍👍

MY DEAR VICTOR

“My dear Victor,” cried he, “what, for God’s sake, is the matter? Do not laugh in that manner. How ill you are! What is the cause of all this?”

“Do not ask me,” cried I, putting my hands before my eyes, for I thought I saw the dreaded spectre glide into the room; “he can tell. Oh, save me! Save me!” I imagined that the monster seized me; I struggled furiously and fell down in a fit.

Poor Clerval! What must have been his feelings? A meeting, which he anticipated with such joy, so strangely turned to bitterness. But I was not the witness of his grief, for I was lifeless and did not recover my senses for a long, long time.

This was the commencement of a nervous fever which confined me for several months. During all that time Henry was my only nurse. I afterwards learned that, knowing my father’s advanced age and unfitness for so long a journey, and how wretched my sickness would make Elizabeth, he spared them this grief by concealing the extent of my disorder. He knew that I could not have a more kind and attentive nurse than himself; and, firm in the hope he felt of my recovery, he did not doubt that, instead of doing harm, he performed the kindest action that he could towards them.

Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus, Mary Shelley (CHAPTER 5)

ah, to be cared for! the unconditional depth and gentleness of it. also have you guys ever listen to the ost for the korean frankenstein musical. sometimes I think about how musical!victor uses his henry's (dupre in the musical, not clerval, but henry all the same) head for his creation. that's also an unconditional something!!

ngl I considered attempting a full bernie wrightson homage for this, but then I thought about how I like having fun and that would totally ruin my hands for the week and settled for drawing a bunch of lines until I got tired of drawing lines lmao

ko-fi⭐ bsky ⭐ pixiv ⭐ pillowfort ⭐ cohost ⭐ cara.app

#mary shelley's frankenstein #victor frankenstein #henry clerval #komiks tag #for context. i usually enjoy drawing a lot of line heavy illustrations #i do most cross hatching by hand and just. really love drawing lines #however. bernie wrightson's frankenstein illustrations are operating on a whole different level of Goddamn #i did a master copy of one of them once and couldn't draw for two days after i finished #which is an extremely unrecommended condition to find yourself in which is why i gave up on trying to achieve a similar art aesthetic #i do find myself going back to edward gorey a lot tho

Do you have a link to the Frankenstein musical? I wasn't able to find it on vimeo. I have the 2003 demo on CD which I listened to very recently for the first time, so I'm on a complete binge of Frankenstein adaptations!

Glad you managed to find it!

I’ll still list the ones I know of just in case:

1. The vimeo musical, its €7,39 to rent and fully captioned

vimeo

2. Frankenstein A New Musical, this one is probably the most well known among fans of the book, there’s some video recordings on youtube but not of the original premiere cast 😞

youtube

(Act 2 is uploaded on the same channel)

The original demo was different in many ways

youtube

3. There’s Young Frankenstein musical of which there’s many recordings online, but it’s based on the pop culture idea of the story popularized by the black and white films, and has nothing to do with the novel so I’ll move on

4. Korean Frankenstein musical, there’s a couple songs translated to English and @klqrambles kindly wrote a detailed summary of the entire thing:

5. Frankenstein The Puppet Opera, it’s one-actor theatre, it’s pretty cool

youtube

6. Frankenstein The Metal Opera, I haven’t watched it yet but it seems interesting

youtube

7. Not a musical but in a similar vein, there’s the incredible Frankenstein ballet, which was actually released on a dvd

youtube

(This is just a trailer)

Also, I know there’s been many many non-musical theatrical adaptations of Frankenstein, but they seem to me more difficult to find, other than the National Theatre’s one 😞

Blackeyed Theatre’s adaptation with the Creature performed by a puppet was streamed a couple years back but it’s not available anymore

youtube

#i think there was also an opera?? I remember stumbling across one #frankenstein

Please give me a Jin x reader where he teases her for getting easily flustered at anything he does!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼😫🤞🏼

Of course!

Title: Too Easy

Pairing: Y/N X Jin

Rating: PG-13

Warning(s): Slight *Teasing*, Mostly Fluff, bf!Jin, shy!Y/N, Some Groping, and grey sweatpants....

Author's Note: Hope you enjoy!

*********************************

The soft sound of breathing is the first thing you hear in the morning as the golden rays of sunlight washes in through the sheer curtains. Jin's choice obviously. If you had it your way, you'd never be bothered by the bright sun so early in the morning. But the strong chest you're pressed against helps balance out the thoughts of complaining.

With a slight stretch, you yawn and grip on to your boyfriend's shirt some more, as if not ready to let him go before it sinks in. Today's Sunday. You can't help but gasp in pure delight, causing the body basically under you to shift at the noise. You cover your mouth bashfully and smile to yourself. Sunday. A day off. 'Finally!' You think to yourself.

It'd been awhile since your boyfriend of 2 years had a day off. After coming back from the military, Jin went right back to working and doing interviewers. You understood why though. ARMY needed to see he was still okay, still the same old Jin, still THEIR same old Jin.

Sharing your boyfriend with a global fanbase definitely had its downfalls, but also, it's perks. For one, those fans sure knew how to edit him...

You're pulled from your thoughts by a soft and low groan rumbling from the chest under your head. "Mm.." Jin murmurs, still half asleep.

"Arise, Frankenstein..." You tease soft and he lets out an airy chuckle.

"You're so... weird..." He mutters as he rubs his face, eyes still closed. His morning voice is a bit rough and deep. You ignore the flutter in your stomach and giggle a bit. "You like it." You state confidently as you sit up some more and look down at the 5-foot 10, Korean man in your bed.

He stretches and sighs happily as his eyes wonder to the clock on your nightstand. "It's Sunday." You say, a humorously look on your face as you watch him expectingly.

Just as you figured, the 30-year-old's face breaks into an excited smile and bright eyes full of joy. In one quick motion, he snakes his arms around your waist and pulls you back on top of him. You laugh in surprise and swat at his chest lightly.

"No! No, no more sleep!" You laugh as you fight playfully against his grip.

"Mm... But... Day off..." He complains and you laugh. "Yes, caveman, day off. But we still have things to do today. I wanna go to the store today. I found this new dish on TikTok-" Jin cuts you off with a playful groan.

"This is gonna be like that sushi-" You cut him off this time around. "It won't be like the sushi!" You say fast, practically whining at the memory of the 'sushi-incident' that took place over two months ago. Of course, a foodie like Jin would never let you live it down. Let's just say there's a reason he's the cook of the house.

"Here. I'm gonna brush my teeth, and you're gonna check out the video." You say as you reach for your phone and hand it over without a second thought. You and Jin were always open when it came to switching phones. Neither of you had anything to hide.

You hop off the bed and practically skip to the bathroom, pleased with the mental plans of today. Breakfast, shopping, coming home to cook together. Today would be perfect.

Little did you know, giving Jin access to your phone meant giving him access to your little TikTok stash of... well... him. As Jin lays in bed, he scrolls through edit after edit of himself, that you had liked and saved. Some of those edits even had comments from you. Unapologetic comments that is. This was your personal account after all, so you had no real filter on here. On this page, you were just one of the many ARMY members.

He smirks to himself as he sees firsthand, what exactly you find so attractive about him. He begins making his own mental list of the day.

****************************

During breakfast, Jin makes a point of tapping his slender fingers along the tabletop. At first, you pay it no mind, but at a certain point, you begin to take notice of the way he bites his lower lip lightly or how he strokes his fingers along the tabletop as he softly speaks in his low voice about the dish you were planning to make today.

You take notice of the, now grown out, jet black hair that was a bit shaggy and slightly covering his eyes, the way he rubbed his chin as he eyes you. His deep, dark eyes only focused on you, but when they trail to your lips, you stammer a bit, and that damn smirk comes out. He chuckles softly.

"What?" He whispers innocently, tilting his head slightly to the side as he squints at you, but that damn smirk shows he knows what he's doing. "Uh... Nothing. Nothing." You try as you shake your head. He hums softly and licks his lips again, slowly this time around.

"I was just saying..." You try speaking again as Jin reaches over to scoop up some of the whip cream you had on your waffles. He brings it to his lips and softly sucks it off, keeping eye contact with you the entire time. You hum softly and Jin laughs gently. "Too easy..." He smiles at you, and you huff. You avert your eyes as you grab your glass of water to drink, knowing one thing for sure: You were in for it...

*****************************

You stand in front of the shelves of pasta, trying to remember which one the TikToker said to use when you feel an arm wrap around you from behind. Jin stands next to you. "Decided which one?" He asks as you sigh deeply. "Uh... Let's just go with that one." You say as you go to grab it only to be stopped by Jin.

"I got it." He says and moves his arm slowly down your body before gripping your hip to hold you closer to his tall and strong frame, using his other hand to grab the pasta box. You feel so small pressed against him like this, and the slight... *ache* is only made worse when he slowly leans in towards your ear and whispers: "Mm... Too easy..."

You huff playfully and lightly push him away. "Not funny!" You fuss as he starts laughing at you, extremely proud of himself and the power he had over you.

He gives your butt a quick swat and it makes you jump, hitting him more as he laughs happily. "Come on, come on..." He snickers as you huff and walk off to the next aisle.

***********************************

"And next, you throw in the cheese, and you stir till it melts." You say as Jin follows your words with slight hesitation on his face.

"Baby... I don't know if it should look like that..." Jin laughs and you pout. "I mean... Maybe it needs more time, ya know." You defend and he chuckles quietly and agrees, always one to encourage you.

As you take over the stirring, Jin stretches a bit and his t-shirt rises only slightly, but it's enough to show off his v-line that dips into those damn grey sweatpants he'd changed into.

You focus hard on the pot in front of you only to feel trapped by him placing his hands on either side of you. He grips the countertop slowly so you can see the veins in his hands as he tightens his grip.

He nuzzles into your neck slightly and you feel his breath as his lips graze over your pulse point. "You're cute when you focus..." He teases and you blush hard. He moves closer and places his hands firmly on your hips.

"Jin..." You mutter as his fingers start to slide into your front pockets before digging into your thighs to pull you back on to him. "What? You don't... want me to hold you in my 'big, strong' arms?" He taunts in your ear and you feel your face heat up at the question.

"W-What... Do you-" He cuts you off with a chuckle. "Playing dumb? You just commented that on an edit of my arms yesterday." He taunts and you stop stirring and gasp as you cover your face instantly. Jin bursts out laughing at your reaction, and you turn to him.

"Not funny!" You try as he holds you tight to him by your waist. "I don't know. It's a little funny..." He laughs before kissing along your cheek as you cover your face with your hands once again.

"I... I just... liked seeing my boyfriend!" You defend and Jin lifts your chin. "And I like flustering my girlfriend." He says back before softly kissing you.

You act uninterested in the kiss at first and he laughs at you pouting and refusing to kiss him. He starts kissing all over your face and that's enough to break you. You give in and kiss back, holding him close.

He picks you up in his arms and places you on the countertop, deepening the kiss which makes your stomach heat up only a bit as you play with his hair at the nape of his neck. As he moves to kiss along your neck, the smell of burnt cheese begins to fill the air.

"Jin..." You gasp in surprise. "Mm... I love when you say my nam-" You cut him off. "No! Jin! The food!" You squeal as you push him away. He gasps in alarm and turns off the stove as you groan at the lumpy mess of cheese and pasta.

Jin stiffens his laugh as you groan. "It's... like the sushi-" You cut Jin off. "It's not like the sushi incident!" You fuss fast and Jin chuckles, moving to hold you. You pout and nuzzle into his chest.

"Want me to order some Jeyuk Bokkeum?" He asks to try and cheer you up, knowing it's your favorite. You grumble slightly. "Hm? That a yes?" He chuckles softly. You nod as you grumble some more. He laughs and tilts your chin to look at him. "Will do." He nods certainly and pecks your lips. "So easy..." He taunts before moving away.

"You little..." You hop off the countertop as he laughs loudly and runs off from you as you chase after him. "Get back here!" You laugh.

7 Korean Dramas that Faced Netizens’ Backlash

Korean Dramas are not only a purpose of entertainment to us fans but those are a mode of escapism from daily life blues. Most of the time Korean dramas are fun and fulfilling, sometimes, though, they are disappointing, and sometimes they face some kind of complicated and mixed reactions. On rare occasions Korean dramas face huge backlash from the netizens.

In Korean Drama history there are more than one drama to be canceled or cut short due to the unbound backlash that those faced. And today I am going to offer you 7 of those Korean dramas, which were either canceled or cut short due to netizen’s backlash.

So, without wasting any more time, let’s get into the list!

10 Korean Dramas that were cut short or canceled

1. Wolf (2006)

In the 2006 Korean drama Wolf, Eric Mun, a beloved figure in the Korean entertainment scene, was originally cast to portray Bae Dae-chul. The storyline revolved around a romantic rivalry between Bae Dae-chul and Han Ji-soo, played by Han Ji Min, both vying for the affection of Yoon Sung-mo, portrayed by Uhm Tae Woong.

The production of Wolf was progressing smoothly until an unfortunate incident occurred during filming. Both lead actors, Mun and Uhm, suffered injuries when they were accidentally struck by a stunt car. This unforeseen setback forced an immediate halt in production.

Initially, there was optimism that filming would resume once Mun and Uhm recovered from their injuries. However, as time passed, a series of postponements ensued, eventually leading to the regrettable decision to cancel the entire project.

The incident not only impacted the physical well-being of the two actors but also dealt a significant blow to the momentum and continuity of the production. The cancellation left fans disappointed, as they were eagerly anticipating the resolution of the complex love triangle that had been unfolding.

Despite the setback, the legacy of Wolf endures as a testament to the unpredictable challenges that can arise in the world of television production, where even the most carefully planned projects can be derailed by unforeseen circumstances.

2. A Beautiful Mind (2016)

A modern reinterpretation of the timeless Frankenstein narrative, 2016 Korean drama Beautiful Mind centered around Lee Young-oh, impeccably portrayed by Jang Hyuk, a neurosurgeon renowned for his technical prowess but severely lacking in empathy. The plot unfolded within the confines of a hospital, where Lee Young-oh found himself entangled in the perplexing enigma of unexplained deaths.

Originally slated for a 16-episode run, the fantastical Korean drama faced an abrupt truncation, concluding prematurely at the 14th episode mark. The decision to curtail its run was prompted by subpar viewership ratings that failed to meet expectations.

Despite its initial promise, the show grappled with dwindling audience engagement, reflected in its highest Nielsen Korea rating of 4.7% during the third episode. Unfortunately, this peak was short-lived, as subsequent episodes witnessed a gradual decline in viewership, culminating in a modest 2.8% rating for its penultimate showing.

The untimely demise of the series left its narrative threads dangling, and the abbreviated episode count disappointed both fans and critics who had anticipated a more extensive exploration of the intriguing storyline.

In the fickle landscape of television, where audience reception plays a pivotal role, the fate of this modern Frankenstein adaptation serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictable nature of viewer preferences and the challenging terrain that TV productions navigate.
