This did not end in Tonkla having his blood sucked in a vampire's embrace and I am sad about that but damn Neo cries well.

Logbook: Hidden Agenda (2023)

(Sorry if the grammer and/or spelling is fucked, it's not my strong suit. Also this is just a log for me to remember the media I have consumed and what I thought about it, if you don't want to see that block this tag> #ro's media logbook)

I finally finished Hidden Agenda! (I could have been done with it like a month ago but nooooo, I just had to take a ONE MONTH break between episode 11 and 12!! WHY?!?!) Anyway, I enjoyed it! I was a bit sceptical coming in because of the mixed reviews I saw on MyDramaList, but after this I think I've just learned not to trust reviews on there very much. Got to make my own judgement I guess.

Hidden Agenda was very sweet and I really liked Zo and Joke. Though I wish they would have given more time for Joke's family issues, I think it would have been nice to see Zo support Joke the same way Joke had supported him. Which he did! But only once. In the last episode. Cause that's all the space the show gave to Joke's problems. And because they chose to focus mostly on Zo's problems Zo came off as kinda selfish, which isn't a great look in these kind of sweet romances. Though it didn't bother me much, I have a tendencie to get frustrated with writers or production instead of the character in these cases. If it doesn't feel like a character trait was supposed to be there I have a hard time getting mad at the character for it.

I also liked the side characters. I'm glad Nita was just a good friend who got to have her own little success story with winning the scholarship to Finland. Though the stalker storyline was kinda wild but also sometime these type of dramas just want to intruduce crazy plot points for like an ep or two so it is what it is, I guess. Honestly brought some much needed tension and a character I was free to hate, so that's nice.

Jeng and Pok were really sweet and I honestly think their story could have been made into it's own little series. I've seen shows work with less.

My main 4 takeaways from Hidden Agenda:

It gave me the strangest representation I've ever gotten but I am thankful nonetheless. I have never seen a picky eater in a show have one dish they eat the same way every day, and their friends defend their eating habits. As someone who has that type of eating habit/problem it made me very happy to not see Zo get ganged up and berated for it.

If I had a nickle for everytime this man:

played the dad to a character named Joke in a bl, and he and his son have a strained relationship becuase of the dad's behaviour alone, I would have 2 nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. (No I don't care that Joke in Jack&Joker is a criminal, his dad was a fucking asshole)(it's deadass the same story again, Hidden Agenda just made it a speed run)

I am now a certfied pick up kisses enjoyer. The signs were obviously already there but this show really solidified it. Love a pick up kiss, any show that has them from this point forward get bonus points in my book.

I don't get the complaints about Dunk's acting. Just full stop. Yeah obviously you can nitpick but I haven't seen anything major in Hidden Agenda or The Heart Killers. So I'm just gonna chalk it up to personal taste and media diets. He doesn't even come close to the bad acting that I've seen tbh. I also have no intrest in arguing about this, if you don't like his acting, cool. No skin off my back.

I might just be a JoongDunk girlie at this point. They have great chemistry and I've enjoyed 2 shows so far. And I was gonna watch Dare You to Death anyway because I love a murder mysterie ql, one of my favorite genres. I will probably watch Star in My Mind at some point. (I don't love caring about branded pairs but sometimes I just end up here anyway, is what it is)

Next show (that is not currently airing) I'll be watching next is probably going to be either: Only Friends, Love Sea or Pluto. We'll see.

Just finished my Hidden agenda rewatch after about three months, and I am once again left with the empty feeling of finishing a show.

I never know what to do when I'm done, even though I have enough to do. I have what is probably ten pages worth of commentary and analysis on the show to spit through and sort by theme, but still, it feels weird not to watch it anymore.

[clemelntine]

Dare you to death has lived in my head for so long I have now started building plots and themes around the pilot and my wishes for the show.

I have gotten to the point where I am now analyzing my own delusions like they are actually pieces of media.

Isn't it interesting how Time doesn't really "pass"? Time simply is. It sits there, unmoving yet unyielding — like a landscape — while we stroll, sprint, and stumble through the vastness of it.

We often imagine Time as something that flows, something that slips through our fingers, but perhaps it's more like terrain: endless, constant, neutral and indifferent.

We chart our lives across it, measure change against it, and yet it remains untouched. We grow older, we move on, we leave things behind — but Time stays. It doesn't rush to outrun us or linger to comfort us.

And maybe that’s why it feels so elusive — because we expect it to move with us. But the truth is, we are the movement. Time doesn’t pass. We do.

This shit is still so fucking funny from Tong's pov man, Imagine you are Tong & it's your 2nd day outside like ever, and after stalking you for 20 years, kidnapping you, forcing you to go live with him, and weirdly smelling you during dinner, your vampire bodyguard tells u to run cuz the guitar he gave u fucking cut u and he about to go hannibal lecter on you, only for you to run directly into a vampire cop and then your vampire bodyguard comes and takes care of that but he gets shot and apparently vampires aren't invincible to bullets (?) and he is fucking dying and won't drink you special blood but then your sweat or whatever falls on his face and he start glowing, like that time he taste ur blood & immediately came in his pants back when you first met, and now he is healed apparently and the first thing he says after coming back from the death is "how you doing lil mama what's your bodylotion cuz you smell bodylicious", and you are like bitch what the fuck did Edward Cullen cum in his pants again cuz of my sweat or was this strictly healing based, how the fuck does any of this work and then he ask you to still move in with him and it's like what the hell, sure

ok I haven’t slept but someone pls remind me to go nuts again about the sandray smoke kiss and talk about every single little detail even though nobody gives af bc I will wake up and forget this even happened

I need to ANALYZE

[clemelntine]

Khao is such a big fan of Gun’s, and they would be such a great match acting-wise that I can’t help but imagine a KhaoGun show—and it needs to be dark, it needs to be gritty, it needs to feel cursed and painful.

So hear me out: KhaoGun Zombie/Virus show

(Khao’s character as K, Gun’s as G)

To start, we need Khao as a truly morally-gray character.

He grew up poor, living on the streets with his mother when he saw her beat nearly senseless by a gang of people—he was 10. She died from brain damage that night. He didn’t know what to do with the body.

Gun is a lonely chemist working overtime in a large corporate lab/hospital when all of a sudden he is thrust into a project that is top secret—a mutation of a virus that has the potential to cause uncontrolled violence in humans, or something of the sort, etc. etc. needs a cure as soon as possible

G has worked for over a year developing a cure when all of a sudden the lab he is working in falls under attack just as he has finished developing it

K works for a shady group that wants to steal the cure to sell it to the highest bidder for money. They have a mole inside that has alerted them so now the building is on lockdown with G trapped inside with all of them.

The whole show following the exposition should be set inside of the lab, where the audience feels claustrophobic

I don’t think K is a character that doesn’t want to do what he’s doing like Bison in THK. I want him to feel like he’s making the right judgment call but his sense of morality is completely threatened while he’s stuck in the lab/hospital. He becomes terrified of the consequences of what he’s done. Something about G touching him on the face undoes him completely and he grips him so hard that it nearly leaves bruises.

Some things to consider:

K always has a knife holster on his thigh and keeps a coin in his boot that his mother had in her pocket when she died

Maybe G has a brother that they’ve also captured to force his hand

G has a tattoo of a needle across his finger. Idk why

“Can your fucking science explain why people are treated the way they are in this world?” -K

An intro to my blog

Firstly the gif on my header is from this gifset by @namtan

And my profile pic is 'Putto che suona' (cherub playing the lute) by Rosso Fiorentino

I mostly post about ql (sometimes I watch other things tho).

I also like kpop/krock, but I keep that mostly on my twitter (same @).

I am currently watching Thamepo, Us, Boys in Love and 1000 stars (which is my main focus rn).

I am also an art history student and try to use that knowledge by applying it in my posts.

Most importantly, I am nothing if not obsessively organized with a strong need to store/remember everything. So under the cut are links to some of my post that compiled my larger scale projects and posts about e.g. one specific show

My Heartkillers meta masterpost. Ranging from analyses to just stray thoughts, pretty much everything I thought of while watching the show.

The masterpost of all of my art analyses. Where I look at different art pieces or screenshots from shows (so far just bl) and look at what the visual components, subject and themes can tell us about the context it's in.

All of my notes and analyses from rewatching Hidden agenda, cuz that show deserves more love and yall are just mean. (I'm currently compiling all of my thoughts, so I can post it al in a more cohesive manner. But stuff is coming, for now i only have this lil review)

[clemelntine]

it disturbs me that a significant number of people think that the issue with sexual violence, gendered violence, and misogyny is sexual desire rather than dehumanization, so they are relentlessly suspicious of others' (and their own) desires while simultaneously never at all interrogating others' (and their own) dehumanizing beliefs about other people, both within and outside of sexual contexts

[clemelntine]

Name a character a st[i/y]le(s).

Make him a certified yapper who jokes around to deal with The Horrors

and who needs to get laid.

Throw in a grump with Eyebrows who did not sign up for this

and who has a penchant for making threats in a Jeep that is one breath away from breaking down.

(But it's all fine if you feel some type of way about being roughed up)

They both have mothers who passed away a long time ago, and protective fathers who are well aware that their sons are handfuls -- and yet are continually bewildered by the out-of-pocket shit their sons say. Despite the fact that both sons take after their fathers.

The biggest difference between Stiles and Style is that Style considers himself a pacifist and Stiles' go-to solution for most inconveniences is murder.

Ok, I haven't been so taken with the manga since Our Dining Table. Both versions are so wholesome and deserve all the praise. My favourite comfort watch/read for the time being.
