Not that that this hyperfocus/obsessive thing works a whole lot either but it's the one that brings me the most joy, lmao

absolutely same here! I mean I'm currently trying to build a habit by watching just a few eps a day but let's see how long I can keep up xD

Arclei:
Alrighty! I'm good this weekend onwards! How should we arrange it? We agree on a day or we agree to watch it in a given time frame (say a week or so) then discuss?

I'll be free from Sunday! and I think a day shall be enough if we can settle on one :)

Arclei:
Get her to watch Exhuma with you, hehehe >:) Just a quirly lil movie

Haha I wish :D (unfortunately we have a looong list of western stuff we plan to watch so)

Filipino remake of the kdrama It's Okay to Not Be Okay is announced to air on July 21st

I haven't watched the original too but I think that one didn't have the age gap? Also the 50 eps kinda scare me a bit o.O might wait until we know the duration of episodes

Arclei:
Unveil: Jadewind

I will be seated! I love historical mysteries with cold cases and investigation hehe! 2026 though :(

Also these early posters of C-historical always look so beautiful

Eyyy, that's pretty good! Hoping it works out for you

Alrighty, sounds good to me. We can check back in after the weekend and settle on a day.

Alex:
Haha I wish :D

Aw unfortunate :(

Alex:

Yeah, the comments mentioned this too. I don't remember hearing about any age gap in the OG. Have yet to find a contemporary story that needs that many eps. Hopefully the eps won't be too long

Alex:

Yesss, me too! Very excited! Looks like it's gonna be an interesting one!

Alex:
2026 though :(

Tell me about it... T_T That just means we have more to look forward to next year :D

Alex:
Please keep them coming, I love the updates! <3

Ahhh oke, I will then! <3

Learning to Love

Ooh, looks like it could be up my ally (from description at least)! rr aside, I also enjoy the plot element of a host in jdramas sometimes so I look forward to it :) though I'll prob never get to it/ finish it when it airs lol.

Same here! The idea of hosts/hostesses really intrigues me and taking the angle of a host instead of the more common hostess is even more interesting to me. I'll probably give this one a watch if good subs come out but likely after it airs since I have a bad habit of dropping dramas that are currently airing, haha XD

Even more updates because I'm on a roll xD

Night of Heaven
	Heiress FL and a down on his luck host ML? Goodness that sounds like the perfect premise! I'm seeing some potential for this not to reach peak RR goodness but I'm hoping for the best! Quite a promising director too, lol No cast, trailer, nor release date.
Men of the Harem
	Historical romance with an empress FL and her various male concubines. Adapted from a manwha by the same name which though I hear has some RR elements, is also not the best RR rep. In any case, I'm very curious about this one. Korea does precious little historical RR UwU No cast, trailer, nor release date.

I also added a bunch of titles that I found that aired this year so go have a look at the index! ^-^

lol same(ᵕ—ᗜ—) something about the wait for eps can either lead to excessive interest that fades by the end or a loss of interest by the second ep lol

Yes, totally!! I usually try not to get too hooked because then I'll wanna binge and well, that usually means I lost interest for (at the very least) several months

so true xD, only problem is if I'm not too hooked, than I forget about it/ loose interest the same lol, the balance is lowkey impossible sometimes ;-;. So unless the show is crazy-unforgettable-good like a once every (insert time frame) or I'm watching with others (and even than), it happens and you'll find it in my on hold section lol.
