His character is the depiction of a Hwarang from the Silla dynasty.
A bit dumb but still likable.

The Hong’s sisters simply surpassed themselves with AOS.
And myself, can’t simply wait 7 long days…
Oh! The Horror!

Actually really good!
I totally enjoyed watching Triage.
Light years ahead of that hot-mess that was Manner of Death.

Is it the stereotypical formula for ALL OF THEM…?

Korean BLs have been improving and evolving stupendously in the last year or so…
I can assure you that “Blueming” and “Semantic Error” have more than just some stale kissing scenes…
And with some well-manicured productions.

IKR 😅
But 15min of some well-produced episodes.

It was not good…
It was not bad…
For me, the entire production was daring.
In terms of the usual Thai BL productions, it was most definitely progressive.
In terms of explicitness, it was very much provocative.

*I can’t stop wondering how this Thai BL production would have turned out if it was made by the Koreans, instead🤔.

Thanks.

Yes. It was very well made.

Being always busy with work during the week; I can’t hardly call myself an otaku😅
But on the weekends, I guess that I am partially one…
Anyway, Japanese animes that I just finished and loved…
- Bubble
- Yasuke
- The Irregular at Magic High School
- Spriggan
- Blue Period
- High-Rise Invasion
- Darwin’s Game
- Kotaro Lives Alone
- Vampire in the Garden
- Sirius the Jaeger
- GANTZ:O

Because I had watched the original Japanese version before the Korean remake.
I didn’t enjoy it at all. It felt very tamed and very much catered to the mainstream.

I am not sure about EAW…
It feels like a recycled storyline of the “Good Doctor” in a judicial format.
Even, we made a copy of it in the States. And it is not as good as the original Korean version.
For now, I placed EAW on hold.

Me too. I place it on hold. Is it just me… I feel that Seo In Guk has not been lucky at all with his selection of televised dramas’ projects?
The only film that I fully enjoyed from him recently was “Pipeline.”
They should have made it into a drama instead of a movie.

I am happy that I am not the only one. All the currently airing Kdramas seem so lethargic compared to AOS.
So much so that I am watching animes to pass the time while waiting for my thrilling weekend dose of AOS.

In a nutshell…
Everything jazzed in Alchemy of Souls…
🤣😅😂

I used to say that the Chinese film industry is great at making Wuxia, Xianxia, Xuanhuan and historical period dramas…
While the Korean film industry excels at contemporary and modern productions (Because in the recent years, their Sageuk productions have been very much subpar, to say the least)…
Alchemy of Souls is making me rethink my whole perception.

I never thought that they could create again, a Sageuk as exciting as Jumong.
I don’t want to jinx anything; however so far, the entire production is a joy to watch.

Very.
You can feel the intense electricity in the air… Even when they are bickering like children🤣

Ahhhh…
That’s right. I knew that I felt some Hotel Del Luna’s vibes in the writing.
Quirky funny and intelligent like, Joy of Life's smart comedy…
Good to know.
