Cats, cooking, and kdrama. 아주마. Oxford comma on my page, N95 on my face. 아이구...
Everything about #Hadestown was incredible but may I just say: Amber Gray absolutely took the biscuit. Brilliant, glorious performance in every way. #persephone
OK, so I randomly started #FiftiesProfessionals #kdrama - guys, it's a riot! I mean, #OhJungSe can do ANYTHING and be brilliant. But #ShinHaKyun has my full attention. First time I've seen him--wow.
Did I mention I'm watching #kdrama #MadForEachOther? I LOVE it! CANNOT believe #JungWoo is same actor who played Trash in #Reply1994 etc...yet I can. What a cast, plus the sheer quirkiness=pure delight. Ladle Man!
I'm #kdrama -less for the first time in, um, years? Nothing's clicking. Remembering how the start of it all for me was actually #jdrama #TheMakanai so do you have any jdrama recs for me in that vein (slice of life I guess?). Yes I have watched #MidnightDiner already :)
#kdrama friends, yr thoughts about #LawAndTheCity which I am JUST starting so no spoilers pls.
OK kids, I finished #Jirisan #kdrama. I liked it! I liked the ending! I liked the cast! It gives me even deeper love for #OhJungSe & I super enjoyed #ChoHanChul in this kind of role (liked him in #Healer & tired of seeing him play weak/shady dudes a lot recently).
Just started the final episode of #Jirisan. Lordy I'm exhausted. No spoilers, guys. I expect to finish it tonight.
My #cat is my muse these days (no one is surprised) & I've been doing lots of pen & ink sketches. She's a tuxedo tortie so mostly black = hard to draw. But I persist. Here's today's, it's 8" x 8".
#dramaSupportChallenge Day25: All Time Favorite. GAH. #SungDongIl takes it. Lots of other choices (including #JoJaeYoon who is a joy even in tiny roles). But Sung Dong Il is the GOAT IMHO. #kdrama This was such a fun challenge! Thanks @devotedtodrama.bsky.social !
I went looking for an image of someone covered in woad to put here, but then this popped up and really, I can't resist it. Erm, weally.
#dramaSupportChallenge Day24: Scene Stealer. This kid was everywhere for a couple of years; wonder how he'll grow up? I give you: #JungSiYul as Kim Soo Oh (Blackie) in #TaleOfTheNineTailed, as child Jo Yeong in #TheKingEternalMonarch, as the friend's son in #HerPrivateLife, where else? #kdrama
#dramaSupportChallenge Day23: Better romantic choice than the lead. The most obvious choice is also IMHO the best, so here goes: #HwangInYeop as Han Seo Jun in #TrueBeauty was ALWAYS the better choice than #ChaEunWoo as Lee Su Ho. Always. Always always.
#dramaSupportChallenge Day22: Ride or die friend. #WooDoHwan as Capt. Jo Yeong in #TheKingEternalMonarch #TKEM EVERY DAMN TIME. The Unbreakable Sword 4Evah!
#dramaSupportChallenge Day21: villain. WOW so hard. I say: #LeeTaeRi as Imoogi in #TaleOfTheNineTailed. Fabulous creepy-ass villain with bonus points for gig as creepy-ass Terry the Intern. Also I love Lee Tae Ri; he will be forever #DriedSquidFairy to me.
#dramaSupportChallenge Day20: Supernatural Being. OK this was really hard since I'm a huge paranormals watcher. I choose: the mighty #KimHaeSook as the Jade Emperor/King of Heaven in #Tomorrow #kdrama
#dramaSupportChallenge Day19: sign of a quality drama. This was a tough one. I'm going with: #KimMiKyung, #KimYoungOK, and/or #OhJungSe in the cast.
#dramaSupportChallenge Day18: Military Professional. I know everyone's going to say the #CLOY band of brothers (I love them, you know I do), so I feel the need to shout out instead #KwakSunYoung as Lee Ik-Sun in #HospitalPlaylist. Loved her character & her arc.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but just give us an #AlchemyOfSouls sequel. The set-up exists, and I want a lot more from that superstar costume designer. I have watched kajillion kdramas and AoS remains my #1. Let #MinHyun & #YooInSoo run Songrim already.
Can we please have #LeeJaeWook in another paranormal sageuk/fantasy please? Because of all his roles, his finest was #JangUk in #AlchemyOfSouls & we all know it. #kdrama creators are you listening? I want magic for this man. And serious costume stuff. Not zombies, either.
#dramaSupportChallenge Day17: Inanimate Object. Tie: #Vincenzo 's gold lighter, and #TaxiDriver 's deluxe taxi. Perhaps they gain some luster from proximity to #SongJoongKi and #LeeJeHoon but still.
#dramaSupportChallenge Day16: Supportive parent. Give me #ChoiWonYoung (every time but in this case) as Yoon Jung Jae in #FamilyByChoice. This gentle man can cook for me any time.
Oh HECK yeah! Special shout out to #WoHyeon who always brings it. He cracks me up, whether he's being hilarious/shady in #Healer, or an asshole mage in #AlchemyOfSouls, or odious in #LikeFlowersInSand, and I'm trying to remember where he played a silly Joseon dude. Such a long career!
#dramaSupportChallenge Day15: Boss. Look no further than my beloved #KangKiYoung as Jung Myeong Seok in #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo. I loved his sweetness and the complex vulnerability he showed as the show evolved. (Watch this, then watch #UncannyCounter2 just to fuck you up. Dude is FIT.)
#dramaSupportChallenge Day14: toxic parent. I'm going a little wild here with #ChoHanChul as Sunwoo Chan in #MyYouth. There are many ways to be toxic. Also really appreciate his range of roles since first seeing him in #Healer.
#dramaSupportChallenge Day13: member of found family. Calling #AhnSukHwan as Choi Jang Mul in #UncannyCounter #kdrama
Tell us your fave actor speaking voices in #kdrama. Mine: 1. LeeSooHyuk (duh) 2. Hwang In Yeop (also duh) 3. Lee Jae Wook 4. Woo Do Hwan What's your list?
