Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae are too cute for words in My Girl. I rewatched it and think it will be one of those dramas I go back to regularly for a great OTP and some really good laughs. I also loved the OST - it was so fun or so melo in all the appropriate places and I never got tired of it. I started Hotel King, but didn't get very far. Doesn't seem like it will be worth it and don't want to spoil the pair dynamics.

Well my heart just went through the whole spectrum of squeeee to eeeeekk from Resident Playbook. It made me rewatch Alchemy part 2 but i just remembered part 1 has more funny bits so I’m going back to that.

too cautious to squee. middle aged problems temporarily taking a break? never say it!!! its jinx
what else. Taemin concert stream was so fun. you don´t really get to converse with strangers on actual concert but the comment section was hilarious.

I'm watching It is Always Midnight in Hagwon and I have a confession squee to make: This people are making me curl my toes under the duvet in excitement whilst in a fetal position. If this is what love is, I'm willing to put myself in Cupid's arrow's path.

I'm going to give this drama a bonus for romance. I didn't expect to be swept away by it and it is just 4 episodes of romance.

My squee for the week is the OST #6 from Resident Playbook... The song Forever by D.O.... playing on loop currently. I had no idea of this singer, but what an extraordinary vocal range he showcases in this one. Even the instrumental version (piano) is so good. Also, the fact that it's YoungWon-i in Korean adds to the squee factor, because their ship is almost sailing 🤞 That last scene in the playground is just lovely, closing with that gorgeous overhead shot.

Not much to squee about at this particular moment.
However- I am looking forward to Netflix space Kdramas redeeming themselves with Lost in Starlight with Kim Tae Ri’s voice. The teaser looked amazing. Please don’t disappoint.
A first of its kind- an animated Netflix k movie. Please please please be good.

Not much entertainment related things to squee at this moment, but personally there’s something 😊

Yesterday was my birthday, and I had initially told my friend—who’d asked me a week ago how I wanted to celebrate— that I didn’t really want to do anything since I had a pretty hectic weekend pre-birthday with family prepping for an upcoming family wedding and was going to be tired and required time to recharge— #lifeofanintrovert 😅😅. Still, my friend—and 2 others—went out of their way and planned something for me 🥹 Nothing big —just hanging out doing things we collectively like (baking and board games) and then going out for a nice dinner (Japanese).

Sometimes— many a times— life’s simple moments are worth squeezing over, too 💖💕

My weekly sqeeeeeeee goes to Yoon Kye-sang starring as Cha Min-hoo in Kiss Sixth Sense, which I just started watching.

*fan myself*

Who is this 46 (!) year-old romantic god who can sweep all themz young strapping idol-actors under his sexy belt like nothing??!!

Have now seen Bai Jingting in two dramas and they were both fantastic. Finished Reset this afternoon, and it was a blast. The story was fantastic and I loved the way it ended. Had me on the edge of my seat countless times. I'm fine with the supernatural element and not knowing how it works -- just so long as it's consistent and the rules don't change. Some wonderful supporting characters -- Staunch Police Captain, Cat Guy and Lord of Asthma! Lots of ordinary people caught up in this scary story. Will be recommending.

The other was The First Frost, and it was a romance like no other I've watched and refreshingly free of some of the irritating cliches of k-drama. Sang Yan was the Lord of Sarcasm, while being the Lord of Lovers as well. Have also read the book in an online translation.

Though he's clearly better known, in both shows his female co-stars were absolutely his equal. Zhang Ruonan in The First Frost was so fine, all the subtleties of her damage and her strength, not a false foot. The portrayal of her broken relationship with her mother just dug holes in me. In the end, I felt sorry for her mother. Another kind of writer or show would have gone down the forgiveness route, but it made sense that Wen Yifan did not forgive. Her mother's weakness and neglect were a betrayal too far. And Yifan was actually quite tough underneath that gentle exterior.

And Zhao Jinmai, in Rerun, was just the spunkiest heroine without ever making that a cliche.
