My favorite panels from each of the Soul Edge/Blade comics, presented with zero context.

But if you're so inclined, that’s what the masterpost is for.

Alquimia das Almas: Segunda temporada - Teorias, conspirações e obsessões e novo Teaser

Alquimia das Almas: Segunda temporada – Teorias, conspirações e obsessões e novo Teaser

Se você terminou a primeira temporada de Alquimia das Almas provavelmente entende meu sentimento. Depois que terminei fiquei obcecada, lendo várias teorias pela internet e vendo alguns vídeos. Algumas teorias fazem sentido outras nem tanto, mas vou colocando aqui mesmo assim e no fim a gente vê o quanto foi certo e o quanto passou muito longe. Então, vamos lá, você termina a primeira temporada,…

AL'S DRAMA RECS VOL.1: these recs will solely focus on the writing of the shows, which to me comes down to two things: how well does the plot accomplish what it set out to do in the beginning? and how compelling are the characters written, no matter if their character arc means they become better or worse through the story or even remain who they are? my favourite dramas usually succeed in giving us a satisfying answer to both questions and these are the ones you will see on this list!

★★★★★ dramas (aka the greatest hits):

SECRET FOREST / STRANGER (2017-2021): the pinnacle of all dramas. follows the duo of no-nonsense prosecutor hwang si-mok (the acting star turn of he century by cho seung-woo) and police detective han yeo-jin (the ever-exceptional bae doo-na) investigating a murder case that blows open several scandals in the prosecution. season 2 follows several cases leading to an internal investigation on police bribery. it just does not get better than this and i fear it won't ever will. this drama has the understated styling of nordic noir, the classic shenanigans of an unlikely leading kdrama duo, and one of the tightest scripts ever seen in any tv show ever. | genre: thriller, melodrama, crime procedural

MY LIBERATION NOTES (2022): following the yeom family's three siblings living in the small town of sanpo on the outskirts of seoul, and the stranger moving into the house next door to theirs, this story navigates questions of sibling-hood and family, the purpose of life, as well as the sacrifices we make for the relationships in our life as well as our own happiness. this show earned its hype from the central love story between mr. gu and yeom mi-jeong (son seok-ku and kim ji-won acting the house down) but every one of the three main storylines is well-paced, gives the main actors moments to shine and grow, and ties neatly into the overarching plot to render you either moved or comforted, or even both. | genre: slice of life, melodrama

VINCENZO (2020): at this point are there still followers on this blog who haven't at least seen me talk about vincenzo? the writing of this show is maybe the peak of genre-blending done in kdrama, a culmination of years refining this skill to sharp perfection in a biting black comedy. vincenzo cassano (song joong-ki), consiglieri of a mafia clan he got adopted into, goes back to south korea to recover a frankly unholy amount of gold and fights a gigantic conglomerate (babel) to get there. if you watch past episode four, you will finish this drama, because everything ensuing from then on is just one iconic story beat after another. | genre: black comedy / satire, crime, romance

HOSPITAL PLAYLIST (2020-2022): a medical drama beyond reproach. this show is on this list for the way it wrote its characters and achieved the most satisfying character arcs in any kdrama, maybe, ever. a group of five friends in their fourties all working at the same hospital and navigating their professional and private lives, this drama doesn't shy away from eclectic backstories (and the leads all playing music together in a band) as well as truly heart-tearing moments of friendship and romance. never have i seen character growth done as well as i have seen it in the characters of yang seok-hyeong and kim-jun-wan. | genre: medical, slice of life, rom-com

D.P. / DESERTER PURSUIT (2021-2023): d.p. to me is a no-notes kind of show. it depicts the work of the military police pursuing army deserters through freshly enlisted ahn jun-ho (jung hae-in playing years below his age and leagues above many his actual age) who ends up empathizing and working to help and save the deserters he and his team partner han ho-yeol (an exceptional koo kyo-hwan) are meant to bring back to the army instead of incriminating them further. d.p. is much better for its tone, its writing and the risks it takes in its no-nonsense approach than some of the drivel revered solely for being more flashy and showy in this genre. | genre: military drama, action

★★★★☆ dramas (aka near-perfection):

PRISON PLAYBOOK (2017): the perfect prototype of the bromance as romance formula and one of the best found family dramas that really focuses on that. star baseball player kim je-hyuk (park hae-soo in his career-defining role) loses his career and lands in prison after he assaults the ex-boyfriend of his younger sister to protect her. the show centers on je-hyuk's time in prison, where he reunites with his childhood best-friend-now-prison-guard lee jun-ho (a supreme jung kyung-ho) and assimilates himself with the people he meets in his cell. this show hits all the beats so well from a stellar supporting cast to a great comeback kid narrative for je-hyuk from his time in prison to being released. glaring flaw: the age-gap / childhood friends romance, the conclusion of hanyang's story arc, who gets the short end of the stick while being the one out gay character in the show. | genre: black comedy, found family, slice of life

GOBLIN: THE LONELY AND GREAT GOD (2017): the defining kdrama for many. it may be the one drama that really delivers in answering its plot's defining question twice over and then some. goblin kim shin (gong yoo), cursed to immortality, gets his life upended once a grim reaper (lee dong-wook as wang yeo, a performance never to be seen or repeated again since) and the young woman (kim go-eun as ji eun-tak) who turns out to be his fated bride enter his life. an immortal man resigned on life finds purpose while knowing he will fatally die once the woman he falls in love with cures him of his curse. glaring flaw: the age gap romance between eun-tak and kim shin. could she have not been in college at least? | genre: melodrama, romance, fantasy

CRASH LANDING ON YOU (2019): the romance drama that could, and did. based on a real life incident, ceo yoon se-ri (son ye-jin, an acting veteran near beyond reproach imo) accidentally crash lands in north korea after a paragliding flight gone wrong. there she meets active duty soldier captain ri jeong-hyeok (hyun bin, thank you for your service) and has to stay with him and his military company. the fated love story starts there, but neither of them know they have met before, and already changed the courses of each other's lives before doing so again. minor flaw: is this drama romanticising the military? or is depicting of that on screen just that and nothing more? that is up to you to decide. | genre: melodrama, romance

HOMETOWN CHA CHA CHA (2021): the series remake of a korean rom-com film of the early aughts, this remains my favourite romance drama over all. dentist yoon hye-jin (shin min-a blessing our screens) moves to rural gongjin, a seaside village where nothing happens at all, after her professional life in seoul goes up in flames. it's not all sunshine in gongjin either as ye-jin meets hong du-sik (kim seon-ho),a handyman who is called chief hong by everyone and fixes all the big and small fires in the village. the two start as enemies that eventually fall in love. the romance is well-handled and paced and the second lead (lee sang-yi) is the best i have ever seen in a show, especially because of the arc written for him. minor flaw: the plot is not as tight as the respective character arcs, so sometimes sacrifices are made for the sake of a more emotional scenes. | genre: rom-com, slice of life

THE GLORY (2022): when you put the revenge in revenge drama, this is what you can get. song hye-ko returns to small screen brilliance in an incomparable performance as moon dong-eun, a woman who decides to infiltrate the lives of her school bullies and take them down one by one. this show delivers on plot even more than on characters, following through on every step of moon dong-eun's revenge without shying away from how gruesome or painful that path of vengeance can be. dong-eun gets help from plastic surgeon joo yeo-jeong (a delightful lee do-hyun), and the main cast is rounded out by lim ji-yeon and jung sung-il as dong-eun's grown up tormentor and her reluctant husband respectively. minor flaw: the show does spend a big chunk of its time on the group of school bullies and their interpersonal relations, which sometimes takes time away from the main plot. | genre: psychological thriller, revenge drama

♡ more specific genre watches (beware: usually crime):

LIFE (2018): written by the writers of secret forest, life is another thriller with understated direction and a more sombre tone. i would have put it in the greatest hits category, but watching it with other people made me realise how niche it actually is in genre. a corporate hospital thriller, the show revolves around the newly-minted ceo of sangkook university hospital, gu seung-hyo (a once again flawless cho seung-woo) and a dedicated ER doctor (lee dong-wook, stellar as ever) who depict the two sides of the patient care vs. profit conflict in the hospital. i can't even say more about the show because every other plot point is basically a spoiler. sharply directed and written, this is one of the best genre pieces i have ever watched, and is mildly reminiscent of hbo prestige television of the decade before. | genre: medical drama, corporate thriller

THE WORST OF EVIL (2023): are you even surprised? this was the drama of 2023 for me, one of the most stellar scripts i have seen. the worst of evil is very firmly a noir show and you have to treat what you are watching as such. it is heavily entrenched into its genre tropes and arcs, even more than most crime shows i have seen, and that can be off-putting for people unfamiliar with the genre, but if you are up for it, you will not be disappointed. opportune violent crime detective park jun-mo (ji chang wook, korea's finest new gen action actor) infiltrates a drug ring lead by jung gi-cheol ( fantastic and emotional tour de force by wi ha joon) and the lines begin to blur when neither of them knows if what they bargained for is actually what they want. the show lets its main plot dictate the pace, focusing on park jun-mo's descent into crime, and it is all the more better for it. | genre: noir, crime thriller, action

BEYOND EVIL (2020): the story about dejected and grieving small-town detective lee dong-sik (baeksang-awarded veteran actor shin ha-kyun) being partnered with elite detective and spinster seoulite han joo-won (child actor prodigy turned actor to watch du jour) has made its waves online for its very apparent gay subtext, but to reduce beyond evil to this would be a crime in itself. following lee dong-sik and han joo-won as they are tasked to solve a reoccurring serial killer case, the framing plot then fans open the age-old wound of dong-sik losing his twin sister and being blamed for her disappearance with joo-won having taken an obsessive fascination with the case. the two crime cases are exceptionally interwoven and the stories of the people in the small town of manyang, and how they all somehow tie back to dong-sik, is the perfect example of turning the small centrepiece of a plot into the binding force of every thread. | genre: procedural, psychological thriller

OUR BELOVED SUMMER (2021): i put this into the genre-piece category because obl is majorly focused on its main trope. romantic dramas can easily be trite to me, as this obvious list of crime shows doesn't tell you, but our beloved summer is one of the few that did everything right. it plays out the best trope ever done - exes to lovers - and does not back down from embracing the whole shebang to the nth degree. high school / college sweethearts choi woong (known beloved actor on ye-xiu tumblr dot com, choi woo-shik) and kook yeun-soo (the ever great kim da-mi) have to unite to replicate, or rather continue, the viral high school documentary they filmed years ago. the show shimmies its way from one moment of reconnection to another, culminating in the best kdrama kiss to ever be put to screen, and concludes in one of the most satisfying and, yes, romantic endings ever. the things a show can do when it just sticks to its main narrative, huh. | genre: rom-com, coming of age

#AHHHHHH HERE WE GO #i don't really know what to tag this ...#al's drama recs #drama recommendation #beware: i mainly watch crime / action and this is what is majorly featured on this list #i do want to make one for best acted shows too bc the list would ..... differ a lot juzghujiko #so if anybody is up for it just lmk (or i will subject my followers to it for the hell of it anyway)

Bez przerwy czułam się ociężała. Mam wrażenie, że przez pewien czas po narodzinach Min-cheola żyłam jak ktoś niedomagający. Cóż, tak naprawdę faktycznie niedomagałam. Cały mój organizm był taki obolały. Rozumiałam, skąd bierze się ten dyskomfort w ciele, ale nie miałam pojęcia, dlaczego jest mi tak ciężko również na sercu. Jak teraz o tym myślę, wydaje mi się, że to była depresja.

Byłam chora, ale nie wolno mi było się zachowywać, jakbym była chora, przez co czułam się jeszcze gorzej. Fakt, że nie mogłam wyrazić na głos tego, jak jest mi źle, wydawał mi się tak niesprawiedliwy, że co noc płakałam. Naprawdę przez długi czas regularnie płakałam. Ryczałam, gdy tylko nachodziła mnie ochota. Gdy w końcu udaje się pohamować łzy, człowiek za zaczyna powoli dochodzić do siebie.

Jeez, go easy on her, man! Seong Mi-na and her dad duke it out in the penultimate Soul Edge comic. (It’s the very last one in the Soul Edge Fanbook, but details details.) This was one I was itching to finish for the second half of it alone, which will be explained at the end of this post. As always, click for less blur and my dumb captions.

Title: Seong Mi-na: As the Family Quarrel Goes On...? Volume

Page 1

Vertical panel: Seong Mi-na. Born November 3. Age: 16. Blood type: A.

She’s looking for “Soul Edge, the Sword of Salvation” in order to protect her homeland.

Panel 1

Today she’s going to search for Soul Edge for sure...

Panel 2

Han-myeong: “Hey, Mi-na. Where’re you going?”

Mi-na: (GULP)

Panel 3

Mi-na: “Ah, Father... I thought I’d go look for Soul Edge for the sake of our country.”

Han-myeong: “Oh, right, right!”

Panel 4

Han-myeong: “I’ve told you, you can’t make such a dangerous journey!”

SFX: (Fuming)

Panel 5

Han-myeong (off-panel): “First of all...”

Mi-na: (Sigh)

Page 2

Panel 1

Han-myeong: “Your skills still leave a lot to be desired.”

SFX: (Gami gami: scowling.) (Kudo kudo kudo kudo: rant rant rant rant.)

Arrow: Having her ears talked off.*

Panel 2

Han-myeong: “Seriously, will you listen?!”

SFX: (THWACK)

Mi-na: (Groan)

Panel 3

Mi-na: “That hurt!”

SFX: (BAM)

Panel 4

Han-myeong: “How dare you defy your father!”

SFX: (WHAM)

Panel 5

This family quarrel went on for three days straight...

Mi-na: “What?! You stubborn old man!”

Han-myeong: “That’s enough out of you!”

Panel 6

Han-myeong: “You’ve defeated me. Go on.”

SFX: (Wheeze, wheeze)

Mi-na: “Thank you, Father.”

SFX: (Pant, pant)

Hwang: “Hey! I found Soul Edge!”

*Untranslatable pun. By itself, the line can be literally read as: “Her ears are completely callused”; i.e. she’s been told this so many times that’s she’s sick of it. The octopodes are there because the words for “callus” (胼胝) and “octopus” (蛸) are homophones: tako (タコ). The ears are octopi-ed, if you will.

One reason that I screenshot these comics is that the logo and vertical panels at the start are almost always separate images, which doesn’t work well with the Tumblr picture format. The first half of this one is technically two images (see source) which, if downloaded and posted, would appear split vertically in two. It looks seamless on the webpage, but here you’d see a gutter cutting off the end of Mi-na’s ponytail on the left. (The first part of the Taki comic is also formatted this way.) Also, the title is typically just text on the webpage itself, but that, too, is part of the image proper. Though the way I put these together here makes this distinction moot.

You made it this far! Get ye to the Masterpost for the rest! This is will be wrapped up with the Li Long comic, hopefully by next weekend.

#soul calibur #soul edge #soul blade #seong mi-na #seong han-myeong #hwang seong-gyeong #my translation #fan translation #it's a great start when the title stymies me #how often do i get to say octopodes? there i said it again #there's a massive au right there where hwang finds soul edge i'm just saying #seriously go watch his bad ending in soul blade #can't believe i had more to say about him than i did in the previous comic
