Super impressed by everything except our FLās makeup - in certain frames, she looks ghostly D: I know they insist on everyone being very fair skinned but the blending in some scenes is terrible. Otherwise though, the storyline is actually quite fun and fast paced. The kissing is also š
It was actually quite good but it dragged a bit. Really liked the ending though! Already at 6 and theyāre still fairly young ššš didnāt expect anything less from Yi Beom lol šÆ
I really enjoy the fact that they changed the destiny animal from the webtoon and k-drama from a cat to a turtle:
1) turtles live longer so we donāt have to worry about the cat already being 10+ years old by the time our main couple are together. I honestly worried about this in the webtoon and kdrama - there was even a chapter in the webtoon from the catās perspective. It was super cute but made me very attached and worried about their eventual departure from the world. The turtle is going to be their kidsā eventual petā¦may even get to see their grandchildren! (I hope we do too)
2) I think a turtle is very reflective of both Misa and Wataru as well as their relationship. Slow, enduring, patient. At least thatās the vibe I get from turtles (and them).
*disclaimer (I did post about this before) - this is, no way, condoning the action of taking a wild animal as a pet. Turtles are not easy pets either and his enclosure, while aesthetic, is unfortunately not adequate. Please do research if thinking about getting a pet turtle and if committed, please try to see if there are any rescues or adoptions nearby.
Itās so funny watching Reina and Tomoya say itās all Misaās fault to manipulate them but they are missing the part where they decided to be terrible people (exploiting Misa, having an affair). She may have baited them but their awful personalities are what made them make their bad decisions!
I was so happy watching episode 7 to see them crash and burn but when things started going wrong again in episode 8, I clicked off so fast 𤣠I will wait till next week when I can see a happy ending; I donāt want to spend the next 7 days in suspense!
Ooh, the ending for ep 4 was super good! The vibe is so different from the Korean version, Iām really enjoying watching how everything is unfolding differently.
I really enjoyed the webtoon and the Korean version and I like this one as well. Itās less comedy vibe than the Korean version. Unfortunately her fashion upgrade isnāt really doing it for me but I hope it improves. Intrigued to see how this unfolds considering itās only ten episodes
No one probably cares but disclaimer for Kamekichi, the turtle: please do not take wild turtles to keep as pets! He should have been taken to a zoo or a rescue instead.
Also, his enclosure looks aesthetic but is not suitable for turtles - they need deeper water to swim in, a much larger enclosure, that lighting is probably not providing sufficient UVB or heating for him to bask and theyāre dumb enough to try to eat those decorative pebbles.
Turtles are typically not social pets and live a long life (30+ years) so if you are inspired to get one as a pet, please do your research and adopt if you can, rather than buy.
I say this as a dumb kid who got a turtle when I was 10 because they were cheap and popular pets. Donatello is now 20 and still going strong but the amount of poop and filter cleaning is ungodly.
Donāt know how many times I have rewatched this. Every story is so important (suicide, bullying (both school and online), sexual assault, veteran appreciation, body dysmorphia, the story of the comfort women, loss of a child) and the endings for the villains are very satisfying.
Also, I can never stop admiring all of Lee Soo Hyukās outfits in this. The gloves, the capes, all black - chefās kiss. The man was made to be a grim reaper.
I love Koo Ryeonās pink eyeshadow on her and its significance but I donāt think Iād ever be able to pull off that look.
Very much a nothing burger after all that build up, teasing the male doll, looking for the island etc. Iām just glad Gi Hun can be put to rest because if he knew the games were continuing in the US (where his daughter lives), heād lose his mind all over again. I wish there was something meaningful about Baby 222ās name and how she is the only innocent survivor in this history of the Squid Games but alas, I did not get that. Also, if they want to do an American version of Squid Games, continuing to use the Korean games really donāt make sense - one of the fun parts about learning the games in season 1 was the contestantsā childhood games were made into these bloody weapons to turn them into murderers. I dunno what is considered American games but I know the ddakji is probably not it.
Cannot get over him as Jinu in Kpop Demon Hunters on Netflix. For his first voice acting role, he was incredible! Iāve been obsessed since the movie came out on 20/06. Love that he got to sing a tiny bit too at the beginning! His voice is divine. Rewatching Business Proposal now because I miss himš
