Not Today

 I'm almost done with YAMH and Lost in 49 at 12 and 14 eps left respectively. I keep switching between which one I'm addicted to at any given time lol. YAMH is dragging a little bit, unfortunately. I'm hoping they have another good arc or whatever yet before it's over. I don't really find giving Kelei a medical problem to be all that gripping lol. I'll probably avoid modern dramas for awhile again after this one. Unless I decide to watch that other one with Jingting set in the old folks home lmao.  Lost in 49 was getting super interesting where I last left off but then I started bingeing on YAMH.

BUT as it's a boring chill Saturday, I want to watch something less intense so I decided to go back to watch the Four.  Gives you the feeling of like, Saturday matinee nonsense as a kid lol.  I'm watching on Viki and I see that Mojin the Lost Legend is there.  I've been wanting to watch that movie for awhile. I mean, Shu Qi and Chen Kun and tomb robbing?  HOw come i haven't watched it yet?  QIGUAI.    

My drama moods are weird and I try to police them unnecessarily lmao.   I'm still thinking about starting Psych Hunter but I want to finish at least one other drama first.  I've also lowkey been thinking about trying  Confession with Junho and/or Secret Royal Inspector with L.  I've been wanting to see him in something else since I tried that stupid mask drama but he's only been in annoying romcoms. SRI sounds kinda funny. In that One More Time drama i remember being surprised by his comedic skill bc he always struck me as super serial. 

Anyway...omg The Four has a bunch of super boring talking scenes about fate and deep love lmao. Too much wuxia is bad for the brain.  Like het versions are bad enough, imagine tryna watch heteronormative BL.  Gad the cringe.   I wish there was some wuxia like The Four with either a group of guys and no girls or a group of girls and no guys. No romance, just action. 

Oh special, Viki has decided to fuck up and i haven't gotten through one episode yet. Feihua. 

 So it turns out that both of the new dramas are going to be airing two 30 minute eps per day.  I can't decide if I like this or not.  Logically, it shouldn't make any difference, but the new 40 episode total makes it seem daunting lol.  Again, it's not logical at all, bc as long as I watch two hours of each show every week, it's the same difference, it will still finish at the same time.  But somehow the perception of it bugs me lol.  

Anyway, so I watched the two new Mask eps today and I'm still not entirely sure what I think of it.  The Crown Prince (CP) is annoying and Idk what the point of that girl from One More Time is.  On the other hand, L is great and I love Sohyun.  It's so hard to believe that she's only 17, she seems more mature than actresses much older.  So yeah, I'm not in love with the show yet...but obviously I'm going to keep watching for L and Sohyun at the very least.

Also watched the first ep, or two eps whatever, of Suspicious Partner, called Love in Trouble on DramaFever.  Ji Chang Wook is flawfree, as usual.  He didn't start out being a jerk so I was disappointed at first, but then he got jerkier later and it turns out that everyone in his field hates him so I guess that's something lol.  He looked even jerkier in the next two eps though.  The girl I kinda immediately didn't like, but I hated her less as it went along.  I just really hate the trope of girls accusing guys of sexual harassment and then nobody believes the guy, like guys are just naturally perverts or something.  They did that in Chief Kim too.  REALLY rubs me the wrong way.  And I was especially mad bc it's JCW and c'mon, look at his face.

Regardless, I have a feeling I'm going to like this one more than the Mask one.  Or either that, I will at first, and then they'll flip halfway through lol.  I'm trying to be good and have finishing on my mind here.  Found out the other one I'm interested in, Lookout, will be airing the 22nd instead of the 15th, but that's bc it's on the same network as Tunnel and Tunnel got delayed.  I'm on ep.13 of Wu Xin, so maybe I can finish that and restart Mystic Nine soon.

You: mooses
Me, an intellectual: meese


That has nothing to do with anything really lol, except I started watching L's drama, One More Time on Netflix.  I guess it's a Netflix original like waaaat. I didn't know they were into making Kdrams.  I even signed up for a free trial bc I hate Netflix and super do not intend to pay for it ever again lol.  The drama though, at least the first two episodes I've watched, is gooooood.  L has improved a TON since Shut UP Flower Boy Band.  He actually seems to have a range of normal emotions lol.  Also, he's so fucking attractive, good grief.  I basically JUST noticed that he doesn't have pierced ears.  I mean, I have no problem with earrings on guys at all, in fact it can be super hot depending on what they wear, but it's SO COMMON that it's just not edgy anymore so I somehow now think it's hotter when they don't have pierced ears at all.  Like, they're consciously refusing to be trendy and refusal to be in the herd is ALWAYS super attractive to me lmao.

So anyway, the plot is basically that L has a band (does he lowkey want to be a musician or what?) and he's been toiling in mediocrity for years and debts are piling up and he's super frustrated.  Some idol company scouts him, but they only want him, not the rest of his band (bc they all be ugly amirite).  He finally loses it, breaks up his band, breaks up with his keyboardist girlfriend and then falls in a lake.  He wakes up the next day and it's....the same day.  What follows is basically Groundhog's Day hijinks lmao.  The second episode had me rolling actually, because he starts to take advantage of the whole new day thing.  Like he goes to gamble and folds every time and the guys are like, if you don't want to play, just leave.  And he's all, don't worry, I'll win tomorrow.

Then, later, he's trying to hook up with some chick from the idol company and at first he shows up in a hot ride, but she's all, I only like intellectual men.  So the next (same) day he's reading Spanish and listening to Mozart and at one point tells her, I'll be even more intellectual tomorrow.  I LOST IT LMAO.

His expressions are hilarious and like, he never seems to smile when he's with Infinite, so it's like woah, he CAN smile.  Plus, there's lots of kissing, which is apparently what his "fans" were mad about on Insta.  I don't gettttt that omg.  Have NEVER gotten that.  Like, you will never, so why live in some dumb delusion?
