Is it weird I find these videos therapeutic? I love hearing the sounds of everyday life in Korea, seeing the architect landscape of each area, and getting to know who’s house ima pull up at when I get off the plane when I visit one day lol jk. I’m not that crazy

Cook being in Sinners makes sense

I was so excited for this movie because I heard Marlon Wayans was starring in it and it had something to do with Jordan Peele. Turns out Jordan only produced it, but I’m still excited and definitely plan on seeing it! Marlon Wayans is one of my favorite comedians. Even though I’ve never watched anything with him outside of comedy, I just know this is going to be good. I’m going to binge some of his more serious roles/stuff outside of comedy; just to see more of his range.

y'all this whole time I thought it was Park Shin-hye in Age of Youth/Hello, My Twenties!, but it was really an actor named Ryu Hwa-Young. I loved her character in that drama. I'm going to check out some of her other work.

Dear Black Mirror, We Are Tired of the American Celebrities

So, I watched the trailer for Black Mirror and noticed Rashida Jones, Awkwafina, and Paul Giamatti and got annoyed. But then I saw Issa Rae, and my eyes lit up. I was so happy to see her! Then, almost immediately, I got annoyed once again when Tracee Ellis Ross pop up, along with everyone else.

I went to TikTok to see if people were as excited about Issa Rae as I was, but to my surprise, I saw others annoyed with all these celebrities, too. I’m not sure why everyone else found it annoying, but for me, it's because I’m too familiar with these actors. Living in America, you constantly hear about them…their stories, scandals, and connections. And since they’re the ones who actually have access to the kinds of technology and lifestyles Black Mirror critiques, it feels weird seeing them in a series that’s lowkey calling them out.

When they cast British actors, I don’t know their personal lives, who they hang out with, or what scandal they were in last week. It doesn’t have that hypocritical feel. Maybe that’s how British people feel when they see their own actors in the show, but even then again, their industry isn’t as messy as Hollywood.

Overall, the series was just better when it wasn’t packed with big-name stars. The topics they covered were amazing. But I’m still going to give Season 7 a try.

That being said, I do want to say that my favorite episode ever is Striking Vipers, and it’s literally with Captain America! I didn’t realize at the time that Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson/Falcon in the MCU, was in it. They did a great job acting, and the topic of the episode was amazing.

Nothing gets me more mad than a school drama

So the new kdrama Friendly Rivalry has premiered, it's the first episode and I'm already furious! I just hate when people are mean for no reason.. and honestly even if there's a reason what tabitha brown say "don’t go messing up nobody else’s day". This series has an eeriness to it. I'm excited to see what's that about. I like it so far. Should I review each episode?
