8 Shows To Get To Know Me
Dearest Krish (@i-got-the-feels) thank you so much for tagging me in this. I've seen this going around and it looks like fun. This was also more difficult than I thought.
This was my first full introduction to KDrama's and it sunk me heart and soul into the world. I love all the characters so much (and it got me into a new band in the process - go check out FT Island their lead singer is in this). Plus it started my love for Lee Seung Gi!
I cannot say where or why I started loving this show, but it's been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. It seems weird to have a favourite show that's about a war - but I truly love this show and it's been with me most of my life.
Is it a surprise this show is on here? Nah I don't think so. This is a show that came out of no where and grabbed me by the throat and I have spent so much time with this show. I love it so much - so much that I'm still unable to watch the second season for fear of ruining the beauty of it. This was the show I did a deep dive and have watched every moment a thousand times. I love this show!
แปลรักฉันด้วยใจเธอ 1 & 2 (I Told Sunset About You/I Promised You The Moon)
Yeah these can't be separated. They tell a whole complicated beautiful story. This is art start to finish. The story isn't always pretty and is complicated in parts, but it's still wonderful.
美しい彼 シーズン 1 & 2 (Utsukushii Kare/My Beautiful Man)
Another show that came out of nowhere and just took over my life. The complexities and nuances of the characters continue to fascinate me and give me all the feels. Someday I may be able to move on, but I hope it won't be for a very long time.
Star Trek (Voyager & Deep Space 9)
While I've watched most of the older Star Trek stuff Voyager and DS9 were big parts of my teenage years. They will always have soft spots in my heart, and settled me wholly into Trekkie life.
너의시선이머무는곳에 (Where Your Eyes Linger)
This was my first introduction to BL - and especially Korean BL - so it was the tipping point of the rabbit hole that has consumed my life. Because of this Korean BL will always be special to me, and I'm happy to see it gaining traction. I personally love the short format and love the sweetness that is just intrinsically Korean within their stories.
永遠的第一名 / 第二名的逆襲 (We Best Love: No. 1 for You & Fighting Mr. 2nd)
Probably one of my favourite iterations of enemies to lovers. Shu Yi and Shi De are just so wonderful and the chemistry between Sam and Yu just elevated this story to a special level for me. I just really love this story and all the characters.
A few runners up that are special - HIStory 3: Trapped (comfort show), Love Sick (sweet nostalgia), SOTUS (my intro to Singto), My Engineer (got me my first ghost ship), 3 Will Be Free (my OG kids)
Thanks for this my lovely! 🌻💜
