TOP 9 DRAMAS I WATCHED IN 2023

inspector koo (2021) - everyone here is a different flavor of fruit, crime show exclusively made for girls and gays and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me

when i fly towards you (2023) - this is what happiness is all about

doom at your service (2021) - “love me to the point that you want to destroy the world for me” that’s it that’s the line

love all play (2022) - wfkbj for people who aren’t annoying

little women (2022) - second half felt like a makjang damn the writers were spiraling and i couldn’t stop watching (gay little women i love you)

twinkling watermelon (2023) - worth the hype

bloodhounds (2023) - i remember my letterboxd post for this saying you can almost smell the testosterones through the screen but it was absolutely binge worthy, kinda homo if you ask me!

daily dose of sunshine (2023) - park boyoung is the loveliest human being

law school (2021) - is it insane to beg for a season 2 the chance is low but nonzero… right?

HONORABLE MENTIONS

hidden love (2023) - im tired of people saying the word chemistry about the main couple but it’s true they invented it

designated survivor: 60 days (2019) - maybe political dramas aren’t always badly written, also han nakyung please give me a chance

celebrity (2023) - user joanyio stop finding invisible gay subtext in every show you watch challenge failed

the good bad mother (2023) - such a gem *continues to ignore mommy issues*

time and him are just right (2022) - cute and perfect for mindless watching in the background while you do other work

the worst of evil (2023) - instead of forcing the love triangle turned love square the writers should have made all four hot main characters make out with each other it would have been perfect

and because of love all play (2022), see also:

castaway diva (2023), witch’s diner (2021), and unlock my boss (2022) (although i haven’t finished this one yet) chae jonghyeop is my new lee dohyun (read: male actor i enjoy watching multiple projects of simply because he doesn’t give me the ick). i also rewatched hot stove league (2020) for park eunbin and jonghyeop after castaway diva, still one of the all time best dramas i remember it used to be my twitter handle years ago baseball is so cool i wish it was real

DRAMAS I STARTED LATE DECEMBER 2023 AND FINISHED EARLY JANUARY 2024

shining for one thing (2022) - please don’t watch this show it was made only for me and i’d like to gatekeep it forever

reset (2022) - never watched a drama execute time loop plot device as perfectly as this did

UNFINISHED BUT PLANNING TO CONTINUE SOON

derailment (2023) - i was baited by a tiktok i thought it’d be a cute silly little high school drama but boy was i surprised

one day off (2023) - she’s living the dream

(Photo grabbed from Goog)

Ah yes.. My very first tumblr post. I really did not expect to be here, pero I saw a couple of tips na journaling is really a good way to keep yourself productive. So here's my very genuine attempt to productivity! <3 Big yay, right?

Well anyway, I really do not know what to write much. As I type this, I'm currently rewatching Business Proposal- also the best drama ever?? (I say that for WFKBJ and FFMW too). Currently moody as I'm on my period, and also because I stayed up to wake TJ up to review, pero ayaw niya. :)) Yeah, there's that. He kinda went back to sleep. I really wanted to go sleep din and be really, really productive today, pero I really can't sleep (how many times should i say 'really'?). To be honest, I'm really looking forward to doing a lot of things today. I messaged papa if I can paint my table and my wall, and mukhang nag-agree naman siya. I also saw A REALLY CUTE WALL PAINTING IDEA, pero I haven't sent him yet kaya 'di ko alam if I have the materials for that. I really want to turn my room into a CUTE CUTE PINK PARADISE A PINK PINK SANCTUARY YOU GET ME

Anyway, this is just a trial, so I don't think I'd be writing much. I'll still try to sleep, pero I guess 'di na talaga possible. I look forward to maintaining this for days to come.

Love,

Feow <3

#kdramawomensweek Day 8: Favorite Ending

Kim Bok Joo from Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

Everyone has youth. A time that’s more beautiful because it’s awkward and clumsy, a time that shines brilliantly. A time when you’re not afraid of losing anything because you have nothing to lose and a time when you’re excited because you can have anything, everything. That’s now, age 24, my youth. Although I’m still uneasy and nervous, I’m perfect without needing anything else.

My Personal Reflection of “Do You Like Brahms?” (with specific reference to the leads)

✨ spoilers below ✨

It’s been a while since I’ve shed tears for a drama. I tried to pinpoint the reason why I was so addicted to every scene while I was watching it; even as I watched the end credits for episode 16, I still had no idea why. But as I made my way downstairs to fill my glass with water, I saw the upright piano. I saw the scores stacked neatly, a dust cover on the ivory keys, and the many many tattered repertoire books from years of commute to the academy and teaching studios, stuffing them in backpacks, and flipping the pages back and forth until the phrase is memorized. And I was reminded of the violin stuffed under my bed and the calluses that became a part of me in grade 4, and how my piano teacher didn’t like the way it sounded on the piano keys.

I remember crying through learning Bach, Bartok, and Liszt. I remember loving Kabalevsky and Chopin. I remember detesting Brahms and Schumann (Robert and Clara) because I didn’t have the emotion to do their pieces justice. I remember the hours committed to perfecting every single bar with precision and emotion.

“Do You Like Brahms?” unearthed a part of me buried with the hopes and dreams of the 10th grader who made the decision to quit music. I didn’t believe I had enough talent--scratch that--I knew I had no talent. I had nothing compared to all the other kids that played before me and after me during lessons and recitals. I picked up every single instrument in hopes that I would have a natural ease with one of them: piano, violin, guitar, flute, ukulele, percussion, and even the banjo. I so desperately wanted to be good at one instrument to play the music I wanted to and I even put in the extra hours to attempt to achieve a sliver of it.

Seeing Chae Song Ah struggle with the same issue had my heart strings tangled. The struggle that I thought was a me problem is being represented! On television! Is this what empathy feels like?

Seeing Park Joon Young lose his passion for the music because of the weight every performance meant made my heart break. And when he said “I’m not happy playing the piano” to his mother in tears, it reminded me how I said those exact same words to my mother in grade 10, asking her if I could quit, with the same heartbreak as Chae Song Ah knowing no matter how hard she tried, she could not compete with those who were born with the ‘musical sense’.

When Song Ah and Joon Young made their decision to quit music, my heart twisted into aches of despair and sadness for them. I feel like I lost it when Song Ah started asking around about the prospects after graduation for those who do not (or cannot) perform.

I see so much of myself in her.

I stopped pursuing music in high school knowing I would only let myself down during the university admission auditions, but seeing Song Ah let her dream carry her to major in music after a business degree sparked a small firework of envy in me. How far can passion take you when “natural talent” is a roadblock? When Joon Young said one should have natural talent to succeed in music, my heart broke more for Song Ah than myself. And when she made the decision to walk away from the relationship giving her anxiety, the chamber position that took advantage of her eagerness to pursue what comes easily to others, and the careful but hard stance she took when it came to matters of the heart and herself...my heart kept breaking knowing hers was already shattered.

I know exactly what she feels.

The whole conversation about finding that conviction to the piece set me back in 2012 when I cried on the cushioned leather piano stool in the practice room for 15 minutes because I couldn’t find that conviction.

It’s your music, so you should take control of it.

I found comfort in these words and in the characters as I watched them each tackle a part of their identity they had lost and are trying to regain control of.

I love every single character in this drama (though I feel the double love triangle is exhausting at times). I really like how the story maintains the Schumann’s and Brahms-inspired story, circling back to it at the end and with a different ending. I thought I would be disappointed knowing the title can be misleading, but I wasn’t.

Without blabbering too long, I guess what I’m trying to say, is that this drama impacted me in ways I will never forget (and it has me learning to love piano again). Maybe one day, I will find the emotion to commit to the pieces by Brahms and Schumann. And maybe one day, I will grasp the conviction to own “Revolution” by Chopin--the one piece I’ve always loved but felt like it could never be mine.

The smallest moment in your life is when your crescendo begins.

Thanks to this drama, I’m playing the piano again. My passion for music is still a little callused (and I’m still hesitant to play some notes for fear that my lack of “natural talent” will seep through the fingers), but I’m regaining that confidence to try again thanks to all the characters in this drama.

I can’t believe this drama also had me rooting for the development of the relationship of the main leads (though I always knew they would end up together). I had the chance to see a really pure love with a mature approach to the way they handle their relationship, which stays really true to the fact that they are in their late twenties. And my heart absolutely broke for the second leads, not completely shattering until Jung Kyung’s flashbacks of her time in love with Hyun Ho.

I’m sad I didn’t watch this sooner, but maybe I put it off knowing I would be a hot mess once I did.

I am not really one to critique dramas heavily and I was tearing up too often to find an outwardly flaw anyways. I am not certain I will have the courage to watch certain scenes again because of the power they have against me.

A well-casted, well-written, inspiration piece for me. I am attached. Whole heartedly attached.

And as a post script: this is a very comforting drama for a rainy day.

Post post script: I thought this was going to be a “do you like Messi?” pt. 2 hahahahaha (don’t kill me, but wfkbj stans, wya?)

#it's literally a blog post y'all #don't open unless you're reading for boredom lmaooo #idk why i feel so compelled to write this #do you like brahms?#queue bc i know how to do that now

heyy how are you? soo i saw the asian drama asks thingy and i now im gonna ask lol (to be honest im new at the kdrama world so im curious)... 8,13,24,28,54 - wow thats a lot but if you want to answer just one is fine as well :)) thankss

Hiii omg thank you so much for asking these bcs I legit thought no one’s gonna ask me the questions from the drama ask? I feel so happy rn loll

8: First drama you considered your favorite?

Goblin, and it still is my favorite until now

13: Top five K-Dramas?

In order: Goblin, Fight For My Way, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon & Touch Your Heart

24: Jisoo or Nam Joo Hyuk?

I feel so bad for my sadboy Jisoo but I love Nam Joo Hyuk so much especially after Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, so I’ll choose NJH :)

28: Favorite K-Drama friendship?

Oooh when it comes to the best squads and friendships, kdrama has a lot of those, my favorites are: mido and falasol from Hospital Playlist (for me they are like the best!! freaking!! friendship!! in kdrama land, they don’t have as much funny moments as other kdramas do but they are literally so solid, I mean like, staying as friends for 20+ years? I could neverrrr), soldiers squad from CLOY, swag trio from WFKBJ, and fantastic four from FFMW (BONUS: hwarang squad from hwarang -Best irl kdrama friendship I’ve seen (especially PSJ, PHS, and V ^^))

54: Recommend 3 fluffy AF dramas

For me it’s gonna be: Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, Touch Your Heart, Shopping King Louis. These are 3 kdramas that you can watch when you’re feeling down, as they don’t have much conflict going on especially between the main leads. Just super duper adorable couples everywhere ^^ (I would also say Strong Woman Do Bong Soon cause the main couple is literally the definition of cute, but I wouldn’t say it’s as fluffy as the ones I mentioned above because there is this whole serial killer plot going on the whole series, but if we’re only going to talk about the cutest, fluffiest kdrama couple then I’d say it’s them lol)

That’s all from me, once again thanks for asking! :DD

#kdrama #kdrama asks #tumblr ask #goblin #weightlifting fairy kim bok joo #wfkbj #fight for my way #ffmw #strong woman do bong soon #swdbs #touch your heart #hospital playlist #hosplay #crash landing on you #cloy #hwarang #shopping king louie #shopping king louis #shopaholic louis

start up kdrama

ok, so i finished watching this kdrama within a week. and if for not hectic schedule, i would need only 2 days cause it’s my cup of tea

first of all, the plot. people with big dreams, ready to work hard to get what they want, trying to become a pro in the field they love - yep, that’s motivating. i like that we didn’t have a powerful villian in this drama (the stepfather didn’t try that hard, let’s be honest) and there painful past of characters were not the main theme of the plot. the thing that triggered me were romantizating violence: why would a girl kiss a boy after he smashed the nameplate of the powerful ceo who actually could end their whole career?

now to characters:

seo dal mi

this girl wanted to do something meaningful, something world changing from the beginning. she just needed to find her way and she did. she hesitated about big decisions but carried herself with a confidence even when she lost her job. dal mi knows where she needs to swallow her pride in order to create a brigher future (her decision to work for in jae after big downfall *applause*). and how persistent she is??? she really has a positive mindset and it doesn’t look fake.

seo in jae

to be honest, i didn’t like teen in jae, but i understood her. she is the definition of courage and self-awareness. in jae was a pro almost from the beginning but still she had dal mi accountable. maybe it’s because she’s a bit insecure about her skills but this woman is a boss boss. she was born to work on the highest floor. i wasn’t even surprized when she changed her name back to “seo” and thanked her stepfather for life lessons. in jae’s way to where she is now wasn’t easy too. she knows how important the skills of her fellow workers are and that’s why she put the job over personal feelings about people. truly a boss.

han ji pyeong

all he needed was a family. it was clear from the beginning. but was he thinking he doesn’t deserve it? why did it take him so long to understand that he was loved? i don’t know. maybe he thought that being successful is his reward for painful childhood? i like him being honest about chances and opportunities of others. he knows he job. he’s so professional in his opinions. he was that person who put concrete under the swing but if not for concrete how the swing would stand?

nam do san

i admit i have a weak heart for nam joo hyuk since wfkbj. maybe that’s why i liked his character from the first episode. i also read a lot of comments on his character and not all of them were good. i was really waiting for him to be the bad guy but... he wasn’t. all i saw is a person emotionally vulnerable, having no confidence in his skills but choosing his own way again and again. he isn’t in control of his emotions, and yeah he is irrational and impulsive, but a person can’t be perfect. i blame the writer for not showing his growth in late episodes cause that’s actually what we needed. after three years in la he became more confident though i would like them to show us how his life there was. do san is kind. when his close one goes through hardships, he’s the first to solve the problem. he has a long way to understand how amazing he is and i hope he gains a lot of self love. i like him a lot cause i feel relatable to him. he’s like me just 2 years ago. i’m still going through it and nam do san showed me why.

love triangle

ok, people, the hell ji pyeong waited for 3 years? 3 years is a long time? if his feelings to dal mi were that strong why he didn’t do anything. i mean clearly he didn’t cause he even hesitated to give her that necklace (or what? i don’t remember). if you love someone, fight for them. 3 years, no nam do san, seeing dal mi almost every day, even being a part of her family - still no attempts? yes, she knew about his feelings, but didn’t use him (remember she wasn’t unsure to call him when they were attacked). it’s him who helped because of his feelings. she didn’t use him for personal issues.

for me, dal mi and do san are more compatible. while ji pyeong was her sand, don san was on the swing next to her. he was clear about his feelings from the start and that’s why i understand his jealousy.as for flower, he asked to give it back AFTER ji pyeong asked for the letter. and the letter was the beginning of dal mi in his life. totally understandable.

i can get it why dal mi chose him after 3 years just because he is himself. people say “but ji pyeong was there for her for 3 years”. and what about it? she clearly had no romantic feelings for him. she was in love with the boy from the letters for so long but was it truly ji pyeong? he created a whole person that time. nam do san didn’t give up even after everything were revealed. maybe if not nam do san in the picture, dal mi would fell for ji pyeong. i think she had already have the feeling for do san so that’s why she didn’t give the story with the letters go on.

anyway i liked the drama. 8/10. will i rewatch it? maybe if i suddenly miss this cute tall fluffy ball nam do san.

Done watching 16 episodes of “Start-Up”

Yes! It is my first time to watch an on-going Korean series. And I admit it definitely haunts me every week.

Starring Suzy Bae, Nam Joo Hyuk, Kim Seon Ho, Kang Ha Na

At this moment I am still reminiscing my favorite scenes.. I like Nam Joo Hyuk since WFKBJ days but in this series I am rooting for Kim Seon Ho. My heart belongs to the Team Han Ji Pyeong. #TeamGoodBoy

His character is truly the Good boy we all wished to have.. as a Mentor who gives us the honest advice that we needed to hear whether it is good or bad for us to be strong and improve ourselves, as a friend whose always there to back us up, as a loving son (to his beloved Halmonie), as a partner in life. Though he didn’t ended up with Seo Dal Mi, he continues to smile, supports the team and accepts his fate.

These two scenes in Episode 16 made me cry and cry all over again..

(Halmonie and Ji Pyeong; Halmonie and In Jae)

Gonna miss you, Ji Pyeong.. Thank you for once again setting up our mind and our standards very high as to what characteristics our ideal man should have. 😂🤣😂

Thank you, Start-Up for making my weekends very happy and exciting.

Truly one of the best Korean drama I’ve ever seen.

#Startup #kdrama #netflix #korean drama #Suzy Bae #Nam Joo Hyuk #Kim Seon Ho #Kang Ha Na #Yeongshil #Follow your dream #Seo Dal mi #Nam do san #Han Ji Pyeong #Seo In Jae #Team Ji Pyeong #Team Good Boy #Halmonie

one of my favorite scenes in wfkbj is still when bokjoo is protesting with the other weightlifters, and joonhyung comes out (even though they had just fought) and brings her hot pads for her feet, a warm jacket, and a scarf. like, he may not fully agree with everything, because it could end badly for her, but he still supports bokjoo and is there for her.

#* shut up kaja. / ooc.#that scene has such a special place in my heart
