• the way Peterpan carries himself btw, he was BORN for this role

• notes:
  • Sea is so ridiculously attractive in this BYE
  • INSANE casting to have Nut play Jimmy's younger brother
  • something DEFINITELY wasn't sitting right with me about this series, it was somehow all over the place with the whole Kant plot idk, the idea was there but it was lacking any kind of execution, it felt weirdly shallow and unimportant
  • the whole drama felt rather shallow imo
  • the post credit was cute, idk what the purpose was, but it was cute funny and definitely jimmysea not thapin ;)

  • RIVALS TO LOVERS LET'S GO

ending : happy

• notes:
  • IT WAS SO CUTE OH MY GOD
  • the vampires plotting to eat the human living with them was funny XD
  • the vampires were funny and interestingly created
  • joowon being a half-vampire was refreshing
  • joowon sucking the rusty blood from dongha's wound was giving STRONG twilight vibes that i was waiting for YAS
  • i want to give joowon a hug
  • dongha being super understanding of joowon's character like wow he understood him so well
  • joowon understanding his mistakes and correcting them RIGHT AWAY?????? man
  • seonjae T-T he was such a nice friend having a crush on joowon bruh don't touch me
  • the kid in ep5 was the real MVP
  • good kisses, good chemistry, fabulous acting, nice easy story, everything was so good about this drama I'm honestly surprised, went blindly into this and ended up loving every character T-T
• complaints

• notes:
  • NAMPING'S ACTING, he kept surprising me, he's so good??? especially in EP10&11
  • Green (Rampheung woman) is the real MVP of this show tho, she's acting her ass off in literally every single scene
  • THE CHEMISTRY, THE ACTING, THE STORY, THE EXECUTION
  • ENEMIES TO LOVERS WITH A SOFT SPOT DISGUISED AS HATRED IS SO TASTY, THANKS
  • we love good slow-burn jhsbdcjsbhvjhdf
  • I love how bold Charn is in love, I thought he'd be the shy one
• Keng:
  • how hot can Keng really be
  • his acting in the intimate scenes was just, a bit too natural like woah it really felt like something we shouldn't be allowed to watch
  • he's soo good at playing losers trapped in a hot body (based solely on this role lmao)
  • HIS EYES
  • him holding his tears back during the funeral in ep9 broke something in me
• EP8 oh my GOD
  • the love scene was something else oh my god it felt like something we shouldn't be watching jesus it was SO INTIMATE SHDBHF I still can't wrap my head around the way THE Master just climbed onto Khem's lap like that jesus christ
  • THE PENT UP EMOTIONS BEING LET OUT
  • KENG'S HANDS PLACEMENT ON NAMPING'S FACE KSHBDCHJDF
  • KENG LITERALLY CUPPING NAMPING'S FACE that was the DEFINITION of face cupping
  • Keng whimpering >>
  • Peem experiencing so much pleasure that he looks like he's in pain oh this was so satisfying to watch
• EP11
  • it was so satisfyingly confusing, the thing they did with copying Khem's spirit into other things like how cool was that and also they showcased it in such a cool way to the audience
  • THE OPENING SCENE WHEN THEY REVEALED IT WAS JET ACTING AS KHEM TOGETHER IN THE CAR WITH CHARN THO
  • possessed Jet's "together" when he dragged Charn with himself off the bridge was something fucking else wow
• complaints
  • the bald cap in EP12 was WAY TOO OBVIOUS XD
  • WE'VE BEEN THAMEPO-ed bruh what about my fluffly Peem putting CharnJet to sleep to "get something sweet" WHAT ABOUT IT???

• notes:
  • how come it works better as a japanese drama?
  • it's kinda crazy how the main cast actually kind of does look like FortPeat if you look for similarities hard enough
  • finally the lesbian couple is watchable
  • let me say this, Ai > Rak but Mut > Kaishin

watched : oct 30

ending : happy

• i'm kinda sad the lesbians were too shy to give us a bolder kiss XD

watched : nov 1

ending : ?????? i'll just close my eyes and pretend the last scene didn't happen and everyone's happy

• it was the way odajima was ordered to kill kataoka and he wanted to in order to avenge his friend who sacrificed his life for kataoka, and yet he ended up doing the same (protecting kataoka's life with his own) but this time kataoka was the one who took the bullet hahaha BYE

watched : nov 9

ending : happy cliffhanger?

• notes
  • very nice chemistry
  • it was lowkey funny XD
  • the story was okay
  • first ep felt VERY confusing
  • honestly the last ep felt all over the place, rushed and lowkey ruined the whole drama

started : nov 2 | finished : nov 16

ending : awfully happy

• notes
  • the chemistry oh wow okay
  • forbidden romance in a historical drama is always hot, let's GO

BRING THIS ON I CANT FUCKING WAIT

it's kinda crazy that the whole thing was filmed with just one camera tho like bruh why would you do that, doesn't that take way much longer to film everything?

started : oct 3 | finished : nov 29

ending : happy (PanRisa dead, ParkChet dead, Pheem is now Damgeung and is alive after staging his death)

someone said it's more like "The Weak Game" and no truer words have ever been spoken

for grammatical purposes I'm renaming Than to Tan :)

• negative:
  • sound quality kinda pisses me off
  • wish it was produced by dmd
  • the fake punch sound effects
  • what about my slowburn T-T (kissed mutually in ep3 lol that's too damn early ㅠ^ㅠ) + got roasted in the comments for wanting this to be a slow-burn lmao god forbid I had personal expectations pft
  • with every episode there's more things that piss me off about the writing of Tan
  • Tan is inconsistent and i don't like this
  • at one point I started rooting for step-brother enemies to lovers romance between pheem and chet, seriously would've delivered more than whatever pheem and tan were trying to give
  • wished Tan just stayed dead
  • they forgot Tan's whole reason for being Pheem's bodyguard was to clear his own name lmao
  • A LOT of things made no sense, but Tan's character takes the pedestal anyway like he's probably the worst-written bodyguard character EVER wow
  • ParkChet really gave us nothing but a hug wow and they're both dead in the end xd
• positive:
  • OFFROAD IN THIS ROLE AGSVGSDVFK
  • it's finally over

• notes:
  • WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN IT'S THE SAME PERSON idk how Yasunari did it but AE and Enaga were really so different bruhhhh
  • it's been a while since a reveal had me shocked to the CORE like that, even tho I could've figured it out from the intro XD
  • Enaga was TOO FUCKING HOT as AE broooooooo
  • safety pins
  • THE FAMOUS FALLING FOR THE ORDINARYYYYYY
  • the was Chiyaki was pretending not to know AE in front of Enaga was cute XD and Enaga finding it cute was DOUBLE CUTE
  • nah AE was just too fucking hot I lowkey couldn't focus on anything else
  • AE's long hair, piercings, rings, physique, mannerism, way of walking and carrying himself, way of speaking, tenderness, the way he lookes at Chiaki I WANNA GO CRY IN THE CORNER
  • where do I find myself a 1:1 copy of AE haha he's too damn hot
  • did I mention that Yasunari was so hot as AE hahahah :)
  • btw this was too short, I need 20 more seasons
  • this show made me want to pierce my lips :)

ending: well, the real Alan is dead and he reunited with Win in the after-life

• notes
  • ugh I don't know
  • I'm just confused, the idea was there but the execution?
  • my theory is that the old man is actually Alan < I was right lol
  • the actual plot twist of this series was that Nil and Alex had a thing going on and RIP to them as well
  • I started watching it for the story, I would've quit after ep1 if it wasn't for the side couple of Sugus and Tenon because I hoped they'd redeem themselves after the mess that the Golden Blood was, but their story was boring, their acting was veeery weak so in the end I just dragged myself through this for the sake of it
  • Tou's acting was okay
  • the chemistry between Tou and Pentor was weak idk

watched: dec 18

ending: open on a good note, hopefully they give us a sequel :) 

• notes

  • jeong ri-u finally getting cast in a bigger budget project YES
  • I love how all the cast is in their 30s YES
  • jeonghan sleeping in iljo's bed when iljo left >>>>
