[theimpossibleness]

Thanks @landcrowe !

Last song: I'm currently at work so I'm not counting what we've got playing. On my way to work I had Midnight by Caravan Palace playing

Currently watching: I've been flying through Love Me, Love My Voice. It's a cdrama and it's all sweetness. Not the only thing I'm watching but it's the most current

Spicy/sweet/savoury/sour: I think savoury, spicy, sweet then sour (sorry for putting sour last landcrowe lol) actually, it's more like savoury first and then spicy, sweet and sour tie for second

Relationship status: single, I tried dating apps and it didn't go anywhere...any suggestions?

Current obsession: I started playing Terraria a couple weeks ago and I started dreaming about it I played so much lol

Favourite colour: blue!

Favourite animal: Cats (I just got one! She's a menace! She's also very affectionate 🥰)

And I'll tag: @distance-does-not-matter @coldswarkids @thejonderettegirl @goyurim

pov: you're in a horror movie + which horror movie stereotype are you?

the tragic hero

you are the good guy who just cannot catch a break. your life just fucking sucks, frankly. one day, you have friends, family, hobbies you enjoy, maybe even a dog. and then, something happens that sets off this never-ending chain reaction of bullshit and it all gets swept away from you in a heartbeat. all your friends are dead now and you might be alive but god at what cost.

At least I survive yay?

Thank you for tagging me, @goyurim 💖

Last song: Onde Usirante from Snehaloka

Currently watching: It's anime-only brainrot here as of now. Dungeon Meshi, Hunter x Hunter, Spy x Family (a rewatch), Asobi Asobase. However, since this is a drama blog, let me mention that I did start watching The Matchmakers, finished two episodes and inexplicably stopped. Praying to higher powers to bring my drama mojo back.

Currently reading: The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, Dissolution by CJ Sansom, Miss Read's Fairacre series, The Three-Body Problem by Lu Cixin, Sha Po Lang by Priest, Death on Gokumon Island by Seishi Yokomizo. I like reading multiple books at one time lmao, so that I can shift between them depending on my mood.

Spicy/sweet/savoury/sour: I like all these flavours but Savoury and Spicy are it for me. I greatly enjoy foods that are savoury and spicy. Always up for a flavourbomb party in my mouth.

Relationship status: Single and obsessed with my cat. So glad she's obsessed with me too. 💖

Current obsession: Dungeon Meshi, Crochet, Orchids, Fragrances

Favourite colour: PINK!!!!

Favourite animal: Obligatory cat mention, but also dogs. In general though, I like animals, with the exception of angry hornets and mosquitos.

Tagging: if you wanna do this, please consider yourself tagged 💖

guess who watched it!!! @goyurim

[mikrrokosmos]

absolutely LOVING your excitement over homecha i really hope you continue to enjoy this little show that manages to go over like a million different themes but never makes any of them feel overbearing or incoherent and it's just so much fun and cute and trope-y but also very real and gosh i just love it so much gongjin is my second home i hope it becomes yours too <3

LITERALLY ITS EVERYTHING IVE EVER WANTED!?!?! I was sold in the first 18 minutes of the first episode, I'm on episode 6 right now and it's all I can think about. Slice of life's can be a hit or miss with me but I'm sorry it's about a small town on the seaside???? With a trio of grandmas a divorced couple who may still have feelings for each other and meddlesome neighbours!? And don't even get me STARTED on Dusik and Hyejin, they are making me go insane. How they perfectly balance the opposites attract while still being similar?? Their banter?? How they level each other out?? How they drive each other up the wall while still understanding each other?? Obsessed with how Dusik pretends to be exasperated with Hyejin all the time and then we have these shots where it's just him being ENAMORED by her looks ugh I can't.

Why the canon ending of 25, 21 didn't work even though it could've worked

It's been like what, two weeks? And I still agree with people like @goyurim that I theoretically liked the ending. I like yearning, I like "right person, wrong timing", I could've cried over Baekdo and still labelled Twenty-Five, Twenty-One as my favourite kdrama of 2022. But the problem is, I know they dropped the ball on the execution, and that's why it left a bunch of us dissatisfied even though we expected a bittersweet ending.

The reason I know this is because about 10 years ago, I had the gigantic misfortune to watch Reply 1997, which is one of the greatest shows about dumb teens ever and made me label the critically acclaimed Derry Girls as "The Northern Irish Reply 1997".

For those of you who are so lucky to experience Reply 1997 for the first time, it's a show about unhinged fangirls in, you guessed it, the late nineties. The unhinged fangirls are about 18 years old and share a single braincell with their other friends from school. That's one of two main timelines. The other timeline is set in 2012, where the friends, who are now all in their early to mid-30s, meet at a class reunion. It's revealed that at this reunion, the female main character (Shiwon) is married to someone present. Over the course of the show, the viewers are made to analyse different clues in true HIMYM fashion in order to find out who the husband is. And it's tricky!

That's them by the way. <3

So why am I bringing up this slightly aged show besides obvious parallels of growing up in the 90s, interesting female characters, queer subplots, and hilariously stupid teen shenanigans? Don't worry, I'm about to make a point. I'm not going to ramble about the Reply series here even though I'm tempted. Just check it out, it's on Netflix as well.

See, what I always liked about the Reply 1997 ending (no spoilers) is that generally speaking, the characters grew up, but their personalities stayed the same. More specifically, the fangirls grew up to be well-rounded women who made room for romantic interests and careers, but still geeked out over boybands in a slightly cringy but still highly likable way. That's what I imagine and hope to be like at 30: Someone who's grown and made peace with certain things, but essentially stays just a little bit silly, just a little bit overattached to the things that mattered to me a lot 15 years ago. And they lost some of the things that mattered to them, and that's ok, they're older now, but life goes on.

That's the point that Twenty-Five, Twenty-One tried to make, and they almost managed it. As many issues as I had with the older Heedo (Jung Eunji did such a fantastic job of playing an 18yo and a 33yo that I would've accepted the ultimately more talented Taeri as a 40yo in a heartbeat), I believe the writers that you can lose people and never see them again. I believe that you can change. I also believe that life goes on and you find new things to care about and that you stay being the everchanging version of yourself.

So I would've accepted the ending under three conditions which were fulfilled in Reply 1997:

Heedo would treasure her experiences she made as a teen and the bonds she had with Yurim and Yijin in particular.

Heedo's current husband would be shown as someone kind and good she cares enough for to have married him. And she would've loved him, there's no doubt, because otherwise it wold've been entirely against her whole personality. That doesn't mean that the marriage had to be intact, but it would've been a nice bonus. I wish all the best things in the world to happen for Heedo.

The squad would be shown to be a group that lives their separate lives but comes together every once in a while for class reunions, casual hangouts and so on. Not because they're forced to see each other, but because they genuinely like each other. Because that's the vibe they always had.

And the show dropped the ball on the last two conditions. I think one of the problems was that the show was aimed at a younger demographic, but they didn't trust us to empathise with forty-year-olds and our own inevitable future. They wanted to tell us that relationships formed in our youth often don't stand the test of time and that life will change, but they didn't make us care about the future because they thought we wouldn't understand anyway. It's a sad oversight that made us fill all the gaps with confusion and misery, because mature Heedo seemed to be miserable.

But literally all it would've taken? Toning down mature Heedo's yearning for Yijin by a 1000, maybe not including the incredibly charged 2009 interview.

Instead, showing how Heedo comes home to someone every day who loves her and flips pancakes and loves their daughter so much he takes a treasured story of his wife and turns it into a sweet new one by writing on his daughter's ballet shoes. A man who respects her past and has his own and they met somewhere in the middle, the right people at the right time.

Instead, showing how Heedo and Yurim text each other every day ("after all these years, she's still my favourite person"). Instead, showing how the group manages to get together more often, and Seungwon fought for a fulfilling career in fair education. Yijin decides to join them for the first time. Their eyes meet over the table. "Reader, they were my first love." They smile. They say cheers and reminisce. And suddenly, it's all of their five younger selves sitting together again. Life is not the same, but some things will work out for the better, and some things are always going to stay a part of us. Fade out.

Hi, everyone! So, I recently hit 1k followers (and we’re less than a month away from this blog’s third birthday) and decided that I wanted to do something to celebrate! What started as a silly little sideblog to keep track of kdramas has grown into so much more than I ever could have imagined. It's honestly insane to me that so many of you not only decided you liked my brand of clownery but that you wanted to stick around to see more of it, so thank you!!

So, here’s just a little shoutout to some of my favourite content creators on this hellsite. Some of you are new additions and some of you I’ve been following since the beginning, but thank you for brightening up my dash with your creativity and passion, it’s always so inspiring!

@baek1nho, @buckwheatflower, @cuddlybitch, @curlykytta, @dingyuxi, @gangtaes, @goyurim, @iamacolor, @jaehwany, @junghaesin, @kateknowsdramas, @kdramaxoxo, @koreandragon, @liveasbutterflies, @machikeita, @moonlightsdream, @mostlyfate, @natahjikio, @seawherethesunsets, @surii, @yohankang

I’ve also decided that I want to do another round of make me choose, so if you have any difficult choices to give me, go right ahead and send them in!!

VIOLETTE HI youre french right im sorry im judt rlly curious abt this so i thought i'd ask: how's hee do's french? 👀 like her accent and stuff how close is it to natural sounding french and how's the writing as well like is the dialogue as weird and stiff as the english in kdramas or is it different?

MOON HI ! yes I am haha and I have to say it's good!!

she sounds comfortable in it even if you can tell she is making an effort to really articulate but although we've only heard her make a few short sentences she didn't hesitate and made no mistake. Her accent/ease is slightly better when she's a child (maybe the child actress knows french? but i was very impressed when she was talking to the fencing teacher and didn't know how to describe her mother's job, the hesitation was very well done) but it makes sense because by the time heedo is a national athlete she hasn't spoken french a lot over the years so her accent is a bit stronger (the french "r" sound is tricky for koreans because they don't have a sound like that, so she makes hers kind of extra strong it's cute).

And the writing is good, the only mistake i noticed was heedo saying the equivalent of "have a good day" when she's talking with the dude at the hotel when it's very obviously evening and so we'd say "good evening/bonne soirée" instead lol but otherwise the lines are pretty natural in that scene, the guy at the hotel was actually acting, although i rewatched the scenes to answer this ask and i've noticed that the english subtitles add something that is not said in french lol in french he just says "i thought someone had stolen it"

also, funny thing, but the guy playing her fencing instructor in france is not a native speaker lol he has an accent (an english speaker accent but it's not super strong so i can't really tell from where) and his french feels very stiff (stiffer than the child's actress playing heedo) and so does his acting, so that kind of took me out tbh

and before this show i had no idea french was used in fencing outside of france! ("En garde! Prêtes? Allez!" means "On guard! Ready? Go!")

Thank you for tagging me @b1uetrees and @loisroo 💜💜💜💜 I had my graduation ceremony so it took me a long time to finally write this. My bad. But I love it so much! And of course, I was reading yours and I wish to know more about you - how interesting people's lives and thoughts are. 💕

favorite color: BLACK (all the shades of black)

Currently reading: let's say, my life is so boring. I don't have any book that's currently on my reading list. But I pretty much have a lot of books that I've abandoned for quite some time, and I'll get back to them once I finally have the energy to hold a book without getting headaches.

Last song: Phoebe Bridger's Motion Sickness (it's been two months I can't get this out of my head) it reminds me of all the people in my life who had been good to me when I was a kid but turned out they were actually abusive, realizing it now as an adult. I hate you for what you did, but I miss you like a little kid. Okay, this first line in the lyrics will always be my best and worst reminder of the trauma I went through. Lmao.

Last series: ooohh~ I've last watched three series but all these I had to pause for a while due to my hectic schedules. First, Kinnporsche the series. Second, Link: Love, Eat, Kill. Third, Extraordinary Attorney Woo.

Last movie: Incantation (had to watch this with the lights on), also rewatched Atonement.

Currently working on: how to fvck!ng get into the corporate world. So, I just graduated from college and now finding an office job that pays well, something that I'll also love and enjoy.

No pressure tags! @heyguysgalsandenbypals @rainbowcolored7 @feministdongsik @goyurim @clandestinegardenias but I'm pressuring @killerandhealerqueen for this tag. 💜
