@USERDRAMAS: 2023 secret santa ⇢ for @angelus2hot from your secret santa 🎁  @USERDRAMAS: GET TO KNOW ME BINGO: FANTASY/MYTHOLOGY ⇢ Hades & Persephone ↳ Dongfang Qingcang & Xiao Lanhua in LOVE BETWEEN FAIRY AND DEVIL (2022)

I saw in you myself A wound of longing. From cold hands, I took the bloodied fruit and painted the earth in its color.

Will you not miss the sun and the warmth? The green and the petals? Will you not miss the life of the world above? And I said, is this not life what we have created? A last breath of orange and rust. This tenderness I will never grow tired of. And for each flower that withers on earth, A flower blooms in hell.

Reading your response about the angsty moments are so great! It made me realize that angst + yearning is the one thing I will never say no to! I always think back to the CLOY separation scene when they’re at the border. I don’t think I’ve ever cried harder than seeing that for the first time! It lives rent free in my mind. I haven’t seen OBS, but I’ve heard SOOO many good things about it. Maybe it’s time to sit down and watch it Similarly to Soundtrack #2, I attempted to watch the 1st one but just never got around to finishing it, but the gifs I’m seeing of #2 has me going 👀. So I might just add those to my very long list of dramas that I say I will watch! Any particular plans you’re exciting for during the holidays?

Lol i could talk about angsty moments forever. Pining/yearning is always soooo good. Omg yes that scene in CLOY i burst into tears when he stepped over the line, so good! I can't recommend OBS enough, it's in my top 5 shows ever. It's got everything i love with enemies to lovers to exes to enemies again (lmao) to friends to lovers. The pacing is really great and I love the way they portray both character's POV so you can see how they both interpreted certain things in different ways and that's part of why they broke up and learning to come together again. The side characters are also fun and has my fave bestie actress (park jinjoo)

Soundtrack #1 was so lovely. I love pining so much and Hyungsik does it so well xDD it's such a short show and I wish it was longer but Kim Hee-won is the director and cinematography is so beautiful. It's actually really well paced for only 4 eps. Same with Soundtrack #2 it's a really pretty show so far and I'm obsessed with exes to lovers trope. You don't have to watch #1 before #2 as they're separate stories but I definitely recommend both. (#2 will have 6 eps so a bit longer, which I'm thankful for.)

I'm visiting my parents and seeing family/friends over the holidays. I'm excited to be home and relax for a bit. What are your plans for the holidays?

hi, 🎅🏼 here! i hope you're having the best weekend 🤍

today's question is: if you could travel the world, any place and any time, where would you like to go? (both alone or with a blorbo or two).

hi my dear 🎅!! sorry, was away and busy for most of the weekend, but in a good and fun way. spent lots of quality time with family, and my sis and cute little nephew in particular. thank you very much, hope you had the loveliest weekend too 💙

this was a bit hard for me to answer since i hadn’t really thought about this before?? i don’t travel a lot either dfhjk. i guess if it was only for a day, i’d like to go to joseon to spend a happy day with nam seon-ho where i would try to make him smile and laugh in various ways bc he didn’t smile/laugh enough. he needs more friends and people who are on his side in general; people who understand and love him for who he is and would listen to him. i’m sure seon-ho is fun to hang around with as long as you (1) don’t mock his mother or (2) don’t mock him for being a bastard. if it was modern times, i’d like to visit vietnam again, or go to korea or japan, or see the beautiful buildings/architecture/art in florence in italy. lots of other amazing countries and cities and places to visit in the world too. right now i would also like to take my blorbos nam seon-ho & kim gun-woo (or, well, all of my favorite woo do-hwan characters) to various xmas markets in germany to drink hot chocolate or mead or feuerzangenbowle or hippocras or other spiced hot drinks/wine (glühwein isn’t my favorite since it’s often too watery and not strong enough) and eat 1/2m bratwurst or reibekuchen or roasted almonds or waffles since that’s what i’ve been doing a lot of lately haha.
