#Choi Sang-wook

[teashh]

I am so glad the new kdramas are bringing back the specific brand of loser men. You know which brand I'm talking about. The Ahn "min min" Minhyuk brand of loser men and I'm loving it. The "I worship this goddess and I'm so in love with her and I can't believe I get to love her. Oh my gods I love her so much" brand of loser men. And we're being fed so well with lovely runner, love next door, no gain no love, my demon, Cinderella at 2am, Hierarchy, Midnight Romance in Hagwon, doctor slump, Queen of tears, welcome to samdal-ri and even good partner (yes it's one sided but the dedication and yuri's couple too).

We need more fictional loser men who worship women to satiate our eldest independent daughter desires.

[mysblog]

For those who are looking for a thriller, non-romance, lowkey psychological drama to watch.

Bros just trust me.

Recently I've watched the drama Bloodhounds. Great plot, great characters as well as chemistry between the characters. Escalates real quick and you'll fall head first into it. Literary watched it within a day.

I could literally rant a whole ass year about Weak hero class 1. Similar to Bloodhound its full of action and mostly about fighting but you fall deep for it. The characters and their development are amazing. Tho the end might kill you.

Blind is a must-watch. No words to waste. Just watch it to find your inner peace. Thank you.

Twinkling Watermelon

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Twinkling Watermelon (2023, South Korea)

Directors: Son Jung Hyun & Yoo Beom Sang

Writer: Jin Soo Wan

Mini-review:

I loved Twinkling Watermelon so so much. This drama made my Mondays and Tuesdays for eight weeks. The story might not be groundbreaking, but it's incredibly well-written and fun. I was afraid the plot would be too simple to make it through 16 one-hour episodes, but it never dragged at all. There was always something to look forward to, and many of the twists caught me by surprise. On top of that, the writer gave us two fantastic love stories. Seriously, both of them are among the best I've seen in a K-drama. But the real focus of the show is the friendship between all the main characters, and its portrayal of youth was really heartwarming and nostalgic. And the whole cast was incredible too, they absolutely delivered at every turn. The only flaw I can point out is that the representation wasn't perfect, and they should've hired at least some deaf actors. Besides that, I don't have any complaints. I might go as far as saying this is one of my favorite dramas of all time, and I'm gonna miss it so much.

DRAMA REVIEW | Not Others (2023)

This drama was a pleasant surprise. It's not that common to see a kdrama that has as leads a single mother and her grown daughter, mostly because of the stigma this kind of family stills carries in South Korea.

Thankfully, Not Others manages to not make it all about the stigma of teen pregnancy or single motherhood, it finds a good balance between every day life events, criminal investigation and rom-com. Particularly because Mom and Daughter are so unbothered by it that they carry on with a "it sounds like a you problem" when someone points out they are, within their society, wildly unconventional.

At the heart of it, there's a story of two women making their way in the world through hardships, love and growing pains. About how it's possible to choose your family and make that unit be whatever you want, not what it's expected.

My favourite part of this drama was the performances. Jeon Hye Jin and Soo-young shine as the outspoken Mother-Daughter duo. Their characters are kind, smart and brave about their life choices. They have great chemistry with each other and make you feel everything.

The rest of the cast delivers solid support. Kim Hye Eun plays the rich, cool aunt and she's a hoot in every scene she's in. Park Sung-hoon in a great counterpart for Soo-young and Ahn Jae Wook delivers as the lovable fool supporting whatever his ladies wish for.

There's also a murder mystery surrounding the central story that manages to keep it all very centered and makes all the characters interact with each other making their world better developed.

Don't miss out on this found family! Their affection it's the real deal.

⚠️CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM SEASON 3⚠️

warnings:none

a/n: you all knew this was coming😭 yeong-hu is my man fr lool. anyways, what did you all think of season 3?? i enjoyed it but the ending felt so rushed for some reason!! ive got some more fics on the way hehe so if you want anything specific or a specific character let me know <33

Masterlist

“is that the last of them?” you asked jin-ho as a couple more people trickled into the church.

“it seems” he told you before briefly looking around and noticing a women in her early twenties, wearing a mustard yellow jacket while carrying a bag on her back.

“follow us in silence” jin-ho told her and she did as he said.

she wasn’t someone you’d seen around before but with how many people were living at the stadium you knew, you wouldn’t know everyone.

suddenly, her eyes widened as sergeant tak approached you. she hurriedly pushed past jin-ho and looked between you and the seargent.

“it’s you two! you’re a scary looking man and you’re a pretty lady wearing military uniform” she exclaimed excitedly “is your name master sergeant tak? and is yours y/n l/n?”

you raised an eyebrow in confusion. sergeant tak looked towards jin-ho, just as confused.

“you both know park chan-young and kim yeong-hu, don’t you?” she suddenly asked and your heart dropped to your stomach.

why was she mentioning them?

“i need to tell you something important” she then said and she took you and sergeant tak aside and briefed both of you on the details.

when she said yeong-hu was still alive, you were overwhelmed with emotions. you had thought he was gone and you had just accepted it, thinking it would be easier to move on.

as sergeant tak went to go and distract sang-wook, you waited in a room for yeong-hu. your palms were sweaty and you paced back and forth in anticipation to see yeong-hu again.

after several minutes, the door to the room swung open and you saw yeong-hu stood there. he looked rough, he had blood and cuts covering him and you were in complete disbelief when you saw him.

“yeong-hu..” you breathed out, tears now forming in your eyes as a rush of emotions filled you.

“y/n” he said and you rushed to wrap your arms around him.

you couldn’t believe he was in front of you.

as soon as you held onto him, yeong-hu enveloped you and returned the hug. holding you close to him and his grip tight around you.

the hug lasted for a long while, neither one of you wanting to let go.

“it’s all my fault” yeong-hu said lowly into the hug and you slowly pulled away.

however, you took his hands into yours.

“it’s all my fault y/n. yeong-seok, seo-jin, u-seok, jong-hyun and seok-chan. sergeant choi, as well as the other they members of the search party have all died” yeong-hu continued, his breath shaking as he choked back emotions “i have failed everyone”

you looked up at yeong-hu and frowned as your heart broke at the expression on his face. he couldn’t look directly at you and you swallowed hard.

you let go of one of his hands and brought it up to cup the one side of his face. turning his head to look at you.

“you’re not a failure. your men, they followed you because you’re such a good leader and they respect you so much to the point they’d do anything for you. their deaths are not on you. you’re an amazing strong person and you did what you thought was right. you stand by your men everyday regardless and that’s something to be proud of and you should never blame yourself for what has happened” you firmly told him.

yeong-hu was always hard on himself and whenever someone got hurt or died, he held the weight of it on his shoulders. even when he shouldn’t have.

a tear slipped from his eye and you wrapped your arms around him another time, this time consoling him.

yeong-hu then pulled away and you sent him a small smile.

“i can’t believe you’re actually here” you smiled and leaned forward to press your lips onto his.

he returned the kiss and after you pulled away, he rested his forehead onto yours and rested his hands on your waist.

“i love you” yeong-hu exhaled out.

“i love you too” you told him.

both of you stayed as your were, enjoying each others presence.

suddenly, the door opened and in came sergeant tak. he hadn’t expected you to be there and apologised in an instance.

“sorry, i didn’t realise you were here” he looked at you and you shook your head.

“it’s okay sergeant” you smiled “i’ll let the two of you talk”

you began to make your way towards the door but yeong-hu kept his hold on you, his body slightly tensing up.

“stay, please?” he said and you looked between sergeant tak and yeong-hu.

“thats fine with me” sergeant tak let out a genuine smile and you nodded your head.

“of course” you moved to be close to yeong-hu again, he loosened his hold on you, relaxing slightly.

you couldn’t help the grin that escaped from you as he continued to hold onto you even when talking to sergeant tak.

he wasn’t going to let you go any time soon.

D.P. (Season 2)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

D.P. (Season 2, 2023, South Korea)

Director: Han Jun Hee

Writers: Kim Bo Tong & Han Jun Hee

Mini-review:

The moment has finally come: Netflix's best Korean Original has made its return with a second season. And these two years of waiting have been more than worth it. It seemed impossible but, somehow, this new season is even better than the first one. It preserves all of its many strengths, and then it takes them to the next level. Both the directing and the writing are amazingly intense. I spent six whole hours on the edge of my seat, biting my nails to the quick, and the last two episodes left me breathless. I also loved the show's attempts at experimenting, like the musicality in episode 3 or the horror undertones in episode 4. As for the acting, is there anything left to say? This is a cast full of incredible actors, and all of them give career-best performances. This time round, Jung Hae In and Son Suk Ku are probably the MVPs, but everyone does a flawless job. To sum up, this second season blew away my sky-high expectations, and I really hope we get a third one, cause TV shows don't get better than this.

P.S. There's a lot of triggering content here, so please be careful with that. Those of you who watched the first season already know this, but I'm saying it just in case.
