Things I watched in 2024-25 that aren't Thai
Wish I'd started this earlier when I was watching some of the highly-rated J- and K-BLs because they've mostly run together in my memory.

This won't blend into anything else in my memory. Third time through but over a year since the last I saw it, so I knew its beats and rhythms but was still delighted to revisit details which I only remembered as I saw them again.
Everyone involved did such a lovely job with keeping it light and moving whilst still giving it real substance.

![Love My Life]()
7. Love My Life
Japanese Movie - 2006
Japanese (slightly older) coming of age, unhurried slice of life, low angst, and LGBT+ affirmative. It's fantastic.

![Fragrance of the First Flower]()
8. Fragrance of the First Flower
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Excellent drama about the dissolution of a marriage, wrapped in a story of love between women. i can't find fault with it, but it is sad and often painful.
