The Eighth Sense Ep 9 aka...

Joon pyo is a better person than I am. I would have just told them to make out....

3 am thoughts when it’s not even 3..... it’s not even midnight

I don’t know why but these days, all I want to do is to lie on grass and spend my day under the shade of a tree just eating sweets, talk about my thoughts and feelings and compliment each other without the burden of work or thinking that all this won’t last too long.....

I'm always kinda shocked and amazed when ppl say they share interests with their parent/s especially on things like watching a drama or listening to a song you like

MLN missing hours

I know, it’s been a while since I posted anything but I have just been swamped with college work. It’s been super stressful these days and it makes me miss MLN more than ever. I guess I just miss the sense of community that was formed when we were all watching the episodes together. It was as if I had something to look forward to other than the insane amount of work that awaited me. It wasn’t just about theorizing what would happen next (I will say that post 2521, I was super anxious about how it would end since the characters didn’t just feel like some people acting on a scene. It was as if they were all reflections of me in some form or another). It was that feeling that Mi-jeong talked about in the last 2 episodes about finding those 5 minutes everyday. Once the show was over, I realized that watching MLN was my moment of comfort and respite and I guess I am just trying to look for that feeling all over again.

Bloody Heart Ep 1

Jinxed at First Ep 1-2 Review (Spoiler free)

To be honest, I have been pretty excited about this drama ever since I got to know about it. Na In Woo (the male lead) was fantastic in the River Where the Moon Rises (another great drama to check out) and in Mr. Queen. I fell in love with Seohyun after watching Love and Leashes (one of my favorite k-movies). However, the source material for the show (the webtoon) isn’t all that fantastic so I was interested to see how the show would go about it.

I was pleasantly surprised by the first episode. While it does seem a little bit rushed and a little disjointed in its part, just hang on as the story starts to flesh out little by little. 

The leads so far are doing a really good job. Seohyun is fantastic as Seul-bi and she’s really able to capture the innocence of her character while also embodying the sense of responsibility that comes with the fact that she possesses powers that can change lives. Na In Woo also does a good job of portraying a down on his luck individual who wants nothing more than to never meet the woman who ruined changed his life. The tonal shift that is accompanied as he dive into the mystery around the family that Seul-bi lived with makes the show worth a watch.

Also, how can you not love them? They’re so cute!!!(❁´◡`❁)

Is anyone watching Why her? Because if you aren’t please do! It has just been 3 episodes so far, but it’s so good. The storyline is interesting and the female lead is just *chef’s kiss*

I ended up watching the finale of Love all Play today and I have to say while I loved the show in the beginning, I was pretty disappointed with how the arcs of the characters developed mainly Taeyang’s. In the beginning, she was this resilient individual who wanted nothing more than get back to doing the thing she loved (play badminton) and her relationship with Taejun was cute and inspiring as well. However, by the end, she somehow managed to become a one-dimensional character, who while I understood was going through some serious issues, was willing to give up the most important things in her life without even a fight and that’s what makes me mad.

This show had the potential to be brilliant and I am disappointed to know that the ratings were so low since the actors did a fantastic job and I hope that they are able to get the recognition they deserve.

A character arc where the character who did terrible things and regrets them is forced to live, to put one foot in front of the other and find healing, who chooses to pour goodness into the world and make the world a better place

Is more satisfying to me than a character arc where the character who did terrible things and regrets them is redeemed through death

99.9% of the time.

There was a tumblr post about this where basically it was "redemption isn't about people forgiving you because you do better now, it's about you doing better even if no one forgives you."

And honestly this post changed my view on redemption arcs and on the "Redeemed Through Death" arc.
