NEW MIRACULOUS OC ALERT

disclaimer: i have not watched s6 and probably won't anytime soon.

Kim Tae-Yong (김 태용), originally from Seoul in South Korea. Came to Paris with her parents at the end of S3. Kind of obsessed with superheroes, followed all kinds of blogs about them back in Korea. She's probably going to end up with a miraculous, I'm just not sure which one, and she loves indie horror movies and trashy romance books. Uhhhh, a bio for her is coming soon, but that's all I have for now.

I will draw her soon, I swear, I just kind of ended up making her on picrew, oops. Anyways, it's called Rkane Picrew, and I don't currently have the link. I have other ocs in the works, don't worry.

She a really long one

Gravity (2013) *6 - took me long enough to get to this. Would have been better in the cinema.

She Said (2022) *6.5 - I love a true story journalistic pacy movie - and Carey Mulligan. Thought Keira Knightley was in this, she's not.

Wonderland / 원더랜드 (2024) *6 - plane watch. This was cute, and emotional.

Okja (2017) *7.3 - I LOVE STEVEN YEUN and a lot of other things about this movie that I will not elaborate on.

The Wailing / 곡성 (2016) *8.5 - I wish I had the words right now, but I don't. This movie is superb, nothing like anything I've seen before. Korean cinema continues to amaze and delight.

Quiz Lady (2023) *6 - new comfort movie alert. This was fun!

The Client (1994) *5 - I don't remember too much of this, just that I thought I'd like it more than I did, and that Susan Sarandon is a delight, as always.

True Romance (1993) *7 - some of it is uncomfortable but yeah, I get it, I get why people are obsessed.

Blink Twice (2024) *7 - this was loud, fun, cool, distressing; just not life-changing.

Cocaine Bear (2023) *7 - SO MUCH FUN, great stuff, absurd.

His House (2020) *5 - I didn't really like this, I didn't think it worked, had a bit of promise with the concept.

Spinning Man (2018) *5 - what? Like a dream, any memory of this is gone. Could watch again; it's not great, whatever really.

Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) *7.9 - (rewatch) what to say, it's great.

When Life Gives You Tangerines

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2025

When Life Gives You Tangerines (2025, South Korea)

Director: Kim Won Seok

Writer: Lim Sang Choon

Mini-review:

With a dream team like this one, expectations were understandably sky-high. And yet, the show has somehow managed to surpass them. Throughout the past four weeks, it has given us a soaring story about love, loss, growing up and life in general, all of it centered around the incredible women of one specific family. That allows for a deeply insightful exploration of gender roles in South Korea, which writer Lim Sang Choon handles with both sensitivity and bite. The entire cast gives it their all too; I'm not exaggerating when I say this is career-best work from IU, Park Bo Gum, Moon So Ri and Park Hae Joon, and the supporting performers are equally brilliant. Also, kudos must be given to the art teams for the beautiful sets, costumes, make-up, CGI and cinematography. And of course, director Kim Won Seok shepherded the whole project towards brilliancy. All in all, When Life Gives You Tangerines is an unforgettable drama that will stay with you for a long time.

never thought i would see with my own two eyes daddy cop Heon holding Ji Yong by the hood of his black sweatshirt like a rabid dog after the two of them almost died together in that tank. never thought i would see that glorious vision of Heon having his boyfriend on a leash when they're both drenched and covered in blood we are never getting over the comparisons!!!!!! never ever gays this is our year!!!!!!

I love the way this drama is shot!

Also, it's pretty awesome that this is a drama starring Joo Won and yet it's Kim Tae Hee's character who is the unhinged, vengeful mess.

I can't wait for them to actually interact properly. She's def intrigued.

Also, this was made in 2015, long before netflix and other western cos got interested in kdramas and it's made with no influence from that source (in terms of either being financed by them or being made with an eye for eg American market) and oh, you can tell the difference and I love it so much that it feels like a proper kdrama, type of kdrama I fell for, not an American show with Korean actors, and not even a hybrid of kdrama with those types of influences. (I have no idea how to put the difference in vibe, story, everything into words, I guess it's like p0rn in the famous words of Justice Potter Stewart: "I know it when I see it.")

Final week of When Life Gives You Tangerines: that was pretty much perfect. The show stayed both life-affirming and heart-wrenching until the very end. I feel like I spent the entirety of these last four hours crying tears of joy, sadness and everything in between. I'd go into more detail, but I think I need some time to take it all in properly. I'll try to post a review tomorrow.
