i saw a reel on instagram with a clip from this performance and the caption was something like, "imagine showing this to someone and then telling them that they're actually rappers" and... they're right. if i got into stray kids from this video, i would've never guessed that they were rappers.

I'm currently watching 6 anime and I've only watched one episode of a kdrama this year.

I've watched 2 kdramas thru the clock app, and people were posting every single moment from Marry My Husband so I feel like I watched the entire show. I wonder if I can count that. I know the entire plot of the show, what happened to every bad guy, and how the show ended. I'm counting it.

People were also posting everything about Welcome to Samdalri on tiktok, too. So, I'm counting that one, too.

I'm currently watching 6 anime and I've watched 2 kdramas and 1 episode of a kdrama this year so far.

I'm waiting for a drama to really spark for me. Until then, anime it is.

#i really am counting dramas I watched thru tiktok from now on

I keep looking at videos of Hyunjin and he looks great with his natural skin tone. And then I see some picture from some fansite and they whitewash him so badly it makes him look bad.

The day people stop whitewashing idols will be a day to celebrate.

Felix is my bias and every single time this man has a magazine photoshoot I have to remind myself that Chris is also my bias. I always say I can't choose between them and then Felix gets his ass on the cover of a magazine and I'm like maybe I can choose.

Mind you, Chan's also on the cover of a magazine. Can't wait to see those pictures.

All this is to say that that black and white picture of Felix on the cover of Harper's Bazaar has me in a chokehold.

And I will continue to live the very hard life of a woman who biases the Aussie Line.

I do a review of the kdramas I watched for that year (mostly so I can keep track of what I watch) and since I'm actively watching anime now, I figure I should do a review of that, too.

Here is all the anime I completed in 2023 along with what I rated them.

Trigun Stampede (5/5): I really liked this anime. The animation was great. I love Vash, he's adorable. I can't wait for season 2.

Buddy Daddies (4/5): This was a cute little show about two assassin BFFs who adopt a kid after they kill her father. The kid was a mess, but the dads were an even bigger mess. But it was so cute, they were so cute. I don't know how assassins raising a kid was so wholesome, but it was. I kinda miss it.

Jujutsu Kaisen (5/5): This will always be my favorite anime. Six straight months of just pain. I'm anime only (and don't care about manga spoilers), and I was so indifferent to Geto in s1, but those first five episodes of s2 changed me. I'm going to have to rewatch JJK0 with my newfound love of Geto so the hurt can really seep in with what happened to him. That first Thursday without hurt me a little bit. I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the Culling Games Arc (although I know it will be a while) but I should probably prepare for more pain. This show is nothing but heartache (and some really good fighting).

Hell's Paradise (4/5): Really like this one. Waiting for s2 to flesh the story out more, but it was a good introduction.

Undead Murder Farce (4.5/5): Who knew an anime about a headless 1000-year-old girl and her demon killer (and her really violent maid) would be so fun.

Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions (5/5): This was a surprise. I got this rec off a Tiktok video and the girl who recced it was worried it wouldn't get a s2, but they announced it at the end of s1 and I've never been happier (I hope she is, too). I adored the hell out of this show. I love it. I could watch Ron and Toto solve crimes and be best friends forever.

My New Boss is Goofy (5/5): This was also a surprise. This show is just so cute and funny and a little silly, but it makes me smile so much when I watch it.

Akudama Drive (2020) (5/5): This is one of the best anime I've seen. So, so good. The ending bummed me out a bit, not because it was a bad ending, but just because it was the end.

SpyxFamily (4/5): This season felt more filler than anything, but those 5 or 6 episodes that focused on Yor were amazing. They definitely elevated this season. I still love this show, tho.

I keep a list of all the kdramas I watch every year. I do this thing at the end of the year where I recap the kdramas I finished for that year. I think I forgot last year, so this year you get 2022 and 2023.

What I watched in 2022 (in the order I liked them and what I rated them out of 5):

Alchemy of Souls pt. 2 (5/5) - this was by far my favorite drama of 2022. I watched the first couple of episodes from the first part, but as I am not the biggest fan of Jung Somin, I couldn't get into the first part. I did, however, really like GYJ as Naksu and since she was coming back in part 2, I read as much about what happened in the first season (and watched the last episode of part 1) to prepare for part 2.

Loved the show. YJ and JW's chemistry was so good. My only complaint was that it was only 10 episodes. I wish it was longer.

May I Help You (4.5/5) - I really enjoyed this drama. The male lead in this, LJY, was the same lead from Love and Leashes, which I really enjoyed. He and LHR had such good chemistry. This drama had the perfect amount of angst and comedy and a lead couple that were just really perfect together.

Business Proposal (4.5/5)- this was just so funny. Not too heavy on the angst. Great leads and second leads. Just a really fun watch.

2521 (4.5/5)- this was such a good show. I was not as upset about the ending as other people were. I could see realistically how the two leads would not be together in the end. First love doesn't always last. But KTR is just such an amazing actor.

Movies I watched in 2022:

Love and Leashes (4/5) - cute little movie about a girl and her sub. This was adorable. I need to watch it again. And LJY's performance in this made me check out May I Help You and I wasn't disappointed. He's a great actor.

Yaksha: Ruthless Operations (4/5) - I'm an action movie girlie at heart, so I really loved it. I watched it for Jinyoung, but I thought everyone was great.

Shows I watched in 2023 (not in the order I liked them, but with what I rated them out of 5):

Island pt. 1 (2.5/5): I tried to get into this show. My favorite part of it was Cha Eunwoo, which is saying something since he's not an actor I'm particularly fond of (this is probably the only project of his that he had a major part I've actually enjoyed him in). It had potential for me, but I just wasn't engaged enough to watch part 2.

Joseon Attorney (4/5): I'm a Woo Do Hwan girly all the way and this did not disappoint. A great blend of humor and angst, the romance wasn't overdone, and the whole cast had a really great dynamic. This was not my favorite WDH drama this year tho.

Bloodhounds (5/5): My favorite WDH project this year was definitely Bloodhounds. This show was great from start to finish. Best bromance I've seen all year, those two were ride or die for each other. Great fights, it tested me emotionally, it made me laugh, it made me angry. I binged all 8 episodes in one night because I had to know what happened next. One of my favorite dramas of 2023. I recommend it to everybody.

Black Knight (5/5): Another one of my favorite dramas of 2023. It had an interesting premise that I enjoyed. As I said before, I'm an action girly so if you give me good story and great fights, I'm in there. I think I also binged this in one night. I highly recommend this one, too.

Revenant (5/5): Kim Taeri deserved awards for this show and if she didn't get any, I'd be mad (I just checked she won a Daesang for this role as she should, she was amazing). This show was creepy, dark, and so well acted (by everybody, this cast was good), that I was waiting impatiently every single week for new episodes. Excellent show, one of my top 3 favorite shows of the year.

King the Land (3/5): I liked this. It was cute, it didn't reinvent the romcom, but the leads had excellent chemistry (so good people were convinced they were dating irl) and it was funny. It was a pretty easy watch. And they made sure they made their two idol leads make out anytime they could, so props to the director for that.

The Killing Vote (4/5): Kim Kwon played evil in two shows I watched this year, and he was great at being horrible in both. Considering the first thing I ever watched him in he was a good guy, it was nice to see him in a completely different role. Anyway, I really liked this show. The premise, a guy who asks the people to vote on whether or not criminals deserve to die and then killing them if over 50% of the public votes yes, was interesting. Good show, questioning whether or not everyone, not just the criminals, but the cops and lawyers and judges, and even the so-called innocent civilians who were so invested in the murder of criminals are all as bad as each other. They left the ending open for another season and if they made it, I'd probably watch.

Destined with You (4/5): I had some problems with this initially (I was judging the female lead HARD), but eventually it won me over. The leads did some really good acting and that scene in the closet was hot.

The Story of Park's Marriage Contract (3.5/5): This was okay. The fashion was great. I think one of the best things about Yeon-woo being in the present is how great her outfit choices were. You could tell that fashion design was really her thing and being in the future really highlighted how important that was to her. So many shitty people in this drama. It sucks when you can't even trust your own family. Yeon-woo and Tae-ha had a cute relationship and I'm glad they got their happy ending.

And there we have it, my recap of all the dramas I completed in 2022 and 2023.

I look forward to seeing what 2024 brings.

My only prediction for SKZ this year is that the special album will be another SKZ-Replay album. They released 9 original SKZ-Records in 2023 and are doing another 8 in 2024. That's enough for an album. And the fact that they added the SKZ-Records to the Step Out 2024 video, which they don't usually do, they'll probably add the solo songs from the tour, and we get another 25 song SKZ-Replay album.

And that's all the predicting I'm doing.

#stray kids #skz #either that #or the solo songs from tour #which haven't been officially released yet #are the skz-record songs in the step out 2024 video #either way #I'm sure we're getting a skz-replay 2 album #i hate predicting things but this seems the most logical thing i for from the video #just remembered hug me and limbo have already been released #but you get the general idea
