385. Law School

“The law is imperfect justice. But when you teach the law, the law must be perfect. And when you study law, it must be synonymous with justice. Because unjust law is the most cruel violence.”

FLOWER OF EVIL 악의 꽃 [2020] Dir. Kim Chul Gyu, Yoon Jong Ho

[hawberries]

i think this might be the entire novel

[valtsv]

"came back wrong" but it's more explicitly + intentionally about medical and/or caregiver abuse

[valtsv]

came back wrong in the sense that the person who revived you subtly or even obviously changed aspects of your appearance to conform better to their concept of beauty, but no one else notices, or thinks that you look better like this anyway so they don't care and are even jealous of you. came back wrong in the sense that you never consented to be brought back; don't know who dressed you like this and arranged your body in the position that you woke up in; it feels like a violation that no-one will admit to. came back wrong in that everyone is so smotheringly protective of you now; won't let you take even minor risks or "abuse" your newly-revived body with substances and poor lifestyle choices.

extraordinary attorney woo - so fun so interesting i laughed i cried it def lives up to the hype . plus kang taeoh and kang kiyoung my BELOVEDS <;33

he is psychometric - we all know i had to put my AWARD WINNING main mans in here and this is the first of his that i watched and undoubtedly my fav so far . he’s cute he’s a lil goofy he’s VERY traumatized he solves crimes whats not to love 🖤 also jus2 has a song on the ost and she slaps

twenty-five twenty-one - NAM JOOHYUK 😭😭 okay while i do have some ✨opinions✨ overall i really enjoyed this one it’s fun it’s sporty it’s partially set in the 90s so the fashion slays . but also the story between the two female leads 🥲🥲🥲

true beauty - love triangle for the times i’ll say it ! cha eunwoo and hwang in youp my BELOVEDS <33 i had suuuuper bad second male lead syndrome for this one but it was fun to watch!

strong woman do bongsoon - UGH HER!!! idk if this is a hot take or not but i feel like this has everything u would want in a kdrama . we have love we have family we have ✨drama✨ we have comedic absurdity we have PARK HYUNSIK <33 and we have just a lil magic too like it’s all here . this show is p silly and like not that deep but she holds a special place in my heart

the fabulous - super fun (short!) one about a group of friends trying to make their way through life and love in the seoul fashion industry. ft choi minho 😍😍

rookie historian goo haeryung - super cool period drama about female historians in the joseon royal court . a love story with just the right amount of royal drama and mystery . also ft. cha eunwoo my beloved

business proposal - big fake dating we know her we love her she's a hoot and a half ! i also loved the second couple the bi panic was so real also ahn hyo seop <;33

abyss - a kinda sci-fi kinda murder mystery type deal , again with ahn hyo seop 🥰🥰

honorable mentions: hwarang: warrior poets society, hotel del luna, bring it on ghost, bride of habaek, alchemy of souls, nevertheless

he's forty years old. he's babygirl. he's unhinged. he's creating problems for himself and everyone else. he's god's favorite punching bag. he's a whore. he's pathetic. he's my poor little meow meow
