Not Today

 I think it's only been 3 days or smth since I last watched ToTC but it feels like for fucking ever lol. I'm so addicted ffffffffffffffff.  Anyway, yesterday though I finished Junichi and  picked up Reset again. The latter seems to be going in a different unexpected direction. I thought they were going to keep repeating the loop, but no, they're on the same page now and they even got off the bus but then got picked up by police who are now questioning them with lies to make them admit that their time loop story is a lie. So far it doesn't seem to be working, but yeah. Awfully spooky though how the police in China can just casually investigate their socials to find out if they were friends or lovers before this incident. 1984 is real in China. 

So anyway, Junichi...it doesn't really end, and actually, the eps in terms of timeline are all out of order. The last ep is more like the first episode kinda combined with the second to last ep where Junichi hurts his leg, which actually i think that happened in the episode where he steals the bike. The ending is naturally open-ended esp since it's more like the beginning. What to say though...lol. The premise is basically a young vagrant who apparently gives off super potent pheromones that make women turn into lusty piles of mush whenever they encounter him. Doesn't matter their age either. He's not particularly complicated, what makes up the bulk of the stories is these unsatisfied women that he runs into. 

I guess what i liked about it was the construction of each episode that somehow managed to give an entire backdrop of each gal's life and why she was in a unique position to be caught by Junichi lol. I've always personally sucked at short stories, so I was kinda in awe of the writing of each one. On the surface, you might think it's just a trashy soft-core thing, but honestly, it really wasn't, and I didn't even think the sex scenes were all that trashy tbh. MDL ppl just like to clutch pearls for no reason lmao.

Next up in Jdrama land will be Last Cinderella,] which I started almost ten years ago now but never watched p;ast 1 episode. However, it's the last unique title on my free trial of AsianCrush so. 

still into Cambrian Period LOL tho i'm tryna figure out how they manage 24 eps of this nonsense. Not sure what genre it's tryna fit into either, comedy? romance? crime?  Like i said somewhere else, it's not what i would call a good drama lol, but it's kinda exciting. The fights with Minghao's character especially are really coolly choreo'd, like some of the moves and stuff are whew. No idea if Minghao himself is involved in the actual fights or not. It's hard to say bc his character is dressed all in black with a mask usually. Ig he was an SM trainee once, he prob knows a few things lol. 

 I don't understand the hype over NCT 127 at ALL. I guess this is why SM antis hate SM stans so much bc they really are ridiculous.  I'm not so much an SM anti, I can't be since I like Taemin, SHINee and NCT 127 (yes I like them, but I also think they're overrated), but I definitely don't like the company either based on what they did to the Chinese Exo members for example, plus, other than giving most of their idols decent vocal training, what do they do that's so unique?  I don't hear/see anything.  But back to NCT 127.  I can't believe the constant splooge over this group when I see very little that sets them apart from any other group with three minis to their name.  The new one, Cherry Bomb, was probably their best so far, though the title track was boring af.  Video was also boring af.  Rn, they would get my vote as the top most overrated new Kpop group.

Anyway, Jongup finally started his promotions and amg that first stage was super hot.  Not much new from Pentagon yet.  I've watched I think two perfs of their new song, but it could have been the same one aired by different networks I'm not sure lol.  I need more bc I love that choreo sfm.  YesAsia finally has all my Pentagon stuff in too so hopefully it will ship soon ahahah.  Fingers super crossed that I get Edawn in any member specific crap. Was trying to figure out where this addiction lies on my Kpop addiction scale. I'm not sure, but I think it's trending towards pretty epic. Probably second only to GOT7.  

Dragged myself away from Kpop on YT last night to watch the new Lookout eps.  Show is flawfree.  Kim Young Kwang is so perfect in this role, his expressions are so sinister.  Plus I love how he goes from annoying ditz to ruthless guy bent on revenge.  I haven't caught up with Mask at all.  Who knows when/if I will.

Warriors won the Finals a few days ago.  People who think sports are rigged are really amusing. They are also, inevitably, people who do not actually watch sports or know much about them lol.  Short of some vast amazing conspiracy, it's a lot less possible than you think.  THere's a lot of freaking variables, especially in baseball, but honestly, in every sport.  To imagine that people are playacting it takes a mighty big stretch of the imagination.  And people who think this have no evidence except for what, coaches having military backgrounds?  Like, what?  You don't think that might help in managing large groups of alpha males and concocting strategies? Nah.

Now, do I think there's some attempt at fixing going on in certain games? Absolutely.  Nothing is ever as pure as you want it to be. Nothing.
