howdy lol
I just randomly come back here for no good reason lol. Mainly to post a weekly media meme thing. Hell, I'd make this thing only for that if only i could remember to come back every week and post it fffffffffffffffff.
What are you currently watching/reading/listening?
Currently I'm extremely obsessed with Under The Power, and to a lesser extent, The Lost Tomb 2. UTP is such a strange egg. It's set up almost right away to be a romance, bc you know immediately that the cold and ruthless Lu Yi of the Brocade Guard is somehow gonna end up with feisty girl constable Yuan Jinxia. It also quickly shows signs of being a wuxia, but all the clan wars and tragic cursed heroes or whatever are more of a sideshow than anything, so then it becomes a slightly historical end of the Ming Dynasty kinda thing with a side of cold cases and mysteries. ALl of this is mainly just provide backdrop for how Jinxia and Lu Yi end up together. But it either avoids or does differently most of the worst romance tropes. Pearl clutchers will probably be offended at the power gap between the two and the fact that Lu Yi very often exercises his power over her, but not meanly so whatever it's still hot.
Reading, I've been off and on reading If on a winter's night a traveler lmao which is the weirdest fucking book but whatever it's kinda absorbing anyway. Music-wise this week I was all about catching up on Kim Hyun Joong's releases, new albums by Tai Yi and AKLO, and then some random Ren Jialun and Hou Minghao stuff. Oh yeah, I also caught up on BTOB's last two EPs, and found myself surprised that they still sound pretty good to me. I'm mostly out of Kpop at this point, especially boy groups.
What did you recently finish?
I most recently finished Kill It and The Game Towards Zero in dramaland. TGTZ was such a stupid drama. Other than the first maybe 10 eps, it was just a ridiculous farce, but i had to know what happened at the end so i slogged through it with much eye rolling. Kill It was great right up until the ending and the stupid cop girl outing the assassin. I was just starting to like her too. Eww. Haven't finished any books or manga recently so that's that. In terms of music I recently finished, I checked out Ailee finally, caught up on all Junno's releases, and also DinDin.
What will you watch/read/listen to next?
Well, I'm burning through UTP pretty hardcore, and not far behind in The Lost Tomb 2, so my guess is that I will start some combination of Autumn Cicada, also with Ren Jialun, Psych Hunter with Hou Minghao, and whatever the next Lost Tomb series is. I'm pretty into watching all the Lost Tomb thingers right now. I also have some mild interest in starting Miss Hammurabi sometime soon. No plans to start any new books for now. Music-wise....not sure. Not much on the new release list yesterday. There was a new Butterfly in the Stomach album i saw. I really need to check out Ice Paper too.
