bingo_a Got bored of the WMM so lemme just do this lol. Starting with...
Daybreaker - for some reason it took me forever to get through the last three episodes. Some of that was being distracted by FMA, but also, the show really got convoluted towards the end and every time you thought it was tryna climax, something else twisted would happen. At least half the main cast eventually died too. Some for seemingly no reason just to add to the body count. Idk i mean overall i thought it was solid and the main bulk of the show was really great. I would generally give it a positive score.
Young Babylon by Lu Nei - Just finished this last night and tbh i really fucking enjoyed it. I started reading it on a total whim when I saw a casting melon of Hou Minghao as the ML Lu Xiaolu. It was not at all what I expected, but somehow really entertaining at the same time. It was also very explicit at times so i'm honestly super curious at what a drama version will look like. All it does is follow in the first person a young factory worker in Daicheng. But the POV character is so colorful and hilarious that it just makes the whole book. The only downside is now i'm prolly gonna have some high expectations for the drama lol.
Tomorrow - Started watching this when it was airing but only just finished it. EH. I had a strong love/hate with this show. The first idk ten or so episodes were very gripping and i thought it tackled some difficult subject matter, some of it fairly unique to Korea, but most of it pretty relevant no matter where you are. However, it got very strongly preachy later on and i felt like there was a lot of idk hand waving that the death gods got away with. Things I liked...the guy who played Ryunggoo who has like no major roles before this drama. He was really good and i'd like to see him get more lead roles. Kim Sohee was very hot. The reversal of Park Junggil's character was also good. Things I didn't like...the Seventeen guy was highkey annoying most of the time. I didn't like that there was nothing between Ryeon and Junggil at the end despite the fact that he obviously still had feelings for her. They could have broken up the preachy message stuff with a bit of romance, just saying.
Anyway I'm down to i think six dramas on my CW list now ROFL. I am also intent on finishing FMA. I'm not overly excited about anything left on that list either, which is annoying, but idk if there's anything i've been waiting for out yet. I really wanted to watch the Kunlun Mountain thing but...oh and Big Mouth is airing end of July so that's something. Otherwise Idk lol.
