#A Korean Odyssey

[ultrabrite-dl]

There's only 4 ways to represent Sun Wukong:

1) "Huh, yeah, that's a monkey alright"

2) Cute Gremlin

3) Furry Bait

4) "Wait a minute! That's not a monkey! That's a hot dude!"

We should make a diagram about it

What is the best romance trope, and why is it a girl who could be his death and a guy who thinks that acceptable collateral damage?

I’m finally reading Journey to the west and remembering all the films, shows, kdramas, cdramas, anime, manga and manhwa that I love that were inspired by it and I’m just giggling annd kicking my feet cause Sun Wukong is just as funny, witty and charismatic as the characters that were styled after him. Like no wonder that in 99% of the adaptations the writers NEED to pair him up with someone (mainly the character styled after Tang Sanzang who has frequently been a woman to fit all the het fantasies the authors might have).

Also, I’m hell of surprised that something written over five centuries ago can be so relevantly funny and feel like a contemporary fantasy (I’m reading the Julia Lovell translation)

Could I steal some book recs? For books, loved The Locked Tomb, Murderbot Diaries (so far! Waiting on Book 2 from the library!) and Terry Pratchett. For tv shows, I've gotten into some C-dramas, especially The Untamed, Word of Honor, Guardian, Heaven Official's Blessing and liked the k-drama "A Korean Odyssey". I think I'm looking for relationships between character and slow burn if there is romance. Thanks!

Blue eyes of Miho from My Girlfriend is Gumiho;

Soul shifting of evil priestess Asanyeo from Hwayugi / A Korean Odyssey;

And swords from Hotel Del Luna.

Hong Sisters' previous works slowly built Alchemy of Souls.

I wonder which elements they will use from Alchemy of Souls for their next project.

kdrama ive watched and the score i would give but the reasons are explained badly

Black - 4/5: the first kdrama i ever watched....it gets a good score because of that. male lead was hot af, female lead deserved better. satisfied me need for shitty supernatural romance. ending had me sobbing like a bitch.

Cinderella and the Four Knights - 3.5/5: It was cliche. It was trashy. It was overdramatic....It was so much fun. Fuck all yall female lead deserved so much better. Fuck her dad, fuck her step family, and FUUCK the secondary female lead she was annoying af

Touch Your Heart - 4.5/5: my expectations for love in life are impossibly high now. unfair. screaming and sobbing.

Goblin - 1000/5: screaming sobbing throwing up rolling on the floor

A Korean Odyssey - 3/5: only watched it to fill the gap when i was done with goblin. it was ok.

Bring It On, Ghost - 3.5/5: yeah it was good, albeit a bit awkward. i saw the twist coming. lake scene had be cackling, never hurt my girl again

What's Wrong With Secretary Kim - 4/5: good romance, the backstory thing was kinda dragged out. older brother can catch these mf hands. THAT scene had me 👀😫

Bonus: Dramas im watching rn

Alchemy of Souls - 4.5/5: minus a SMALL number of complaints, this is almost reaching goblin. almost. naksu step on me queen

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - 4.5/5: really good so far. my expectations for men are at impossible highs

Bonus Bonus: dramas ive dropped

Boys Over Flowers - 1.5/5: im sorry im sorry i know its a classic but what the fuck is wrong with these people. i just cant watch it, i wish i could, but maaaannn. cinderella did it better.

Hometown Cha Cha Cha - 3/5: i was actually close to finishing but there was just something off after they got together. another expectation raiser sighhh

Doom At Your Service - 3/5: i dont remember why is dropped this i think i just stopped watching for no reason. im lazy i dont really wanna pick it up again lol

Vagabond - 2/5: theres nothing wrong with this show i just discovered i prefer shows with a higher focus on romance lmao

The K2 - 2/5: same with vagabond but also more boring :/

Bonus Bonus Bonus: stuff i wanna watch

The King: Eternal Monarch: i heard it was by the people who did goblin sooooo 👉👈 ((also the guy from boys over flowers is in it what an upgrade my man congrats))

Hotel Del Luna: i wanna watch it i just...idk just havent gotten to it im lazy

You know why I expected more for Naksu/Cho Yeong?

Because Hong Sisters created them.

I expected more from the writers that created Jang Man Wol, Jin Seon Mi and priestess Asanyeo.
