Noelene and Jen have a very authentic sisterly bond, including getting into squabbles over who has to translate what’s on the telly to their parents. 😉

The Kims love their soaps, and are seen talking about soaps and soap stars. One of their favourite shows is Prisoner; an iconic Australian programme running on Channel Ten for eight seasons and 692 episodes between February 1979 and December 1986. Prisoner was a show centred in the fictional Wentworth Detention Centre, and focused on the many lives of the inmates and staff who lived and worked there. It was a unique programme, in the sense that it was mostly female lead, and it drew on themes of women’s incarceration, feminism, social reform, prison hierarchies from a female perspective and also included many LGBT+ characters who were portrayed in a complex and empathetic light. It was nominated for many Logie and Penguin Awards, was broadcast internationally, and had a legendary cast list far too huge to name.

In the 45 years since Prisoner began, it still has a massive cult following both domestically and internationally, and has had an enormous impact on especially its female and LGBT+ fan base, for its ability to never be afraid to be messy and unfiltered, and to show women as the complex and imperfect multifaceted individuals they are. It has enjoyed syndication worldwide, is available on many streamers, and has various online fan pages. It also spawned a modern-day reimagining of the classic simply titled Wentworth, which aired between 2013 and 2021, and has also garnered an equally strong following.

When I visited the ACMI back in March, they had a display on Prisoner and Wentworth, highlighting unit stills, audiovisual media and even props from the two show, and also information which tells the museum goers about the impact of both programmes. I must say I shuddered a bit seeing some of the makeshift shivs out of day-to-day objects!

Are you a fan of Prisoner and Wentworth? I did try Wentworth but it was far too intense for me. From what I’ve seen of it, I’m more of a Prisoner girl myself. I’m a sucker for an original, and for shows highlighting the female experience authentically! 💖🌟📺🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈

Some books by Asian authors to read this may!

Edit: thank you @linkedsoul for letting me know that I misused the term AAPI in the original post. I’m very sorry about that, and have changed the title to accurately reflect what this list is.

My new kink is whatever the fuck this is

The positions the hands placements especially when the men put their hands on the woman’s hips or when the woman hold the men’s heads against their chest 🫠🫠🫠🫠 it makes my brain go 🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀

Call it Love 사랑이라 말해요 (2023)

Memories from the Kim family photo album, circa 1986-88!

Special thanks to Hany Lee for providing these wonderful behind the scenes snaps on her Instagram! 🥰

I can imagine that Soon-Hee and Byung-Ho would be proud as punch of their daughters. Jen and Noelene are both smart, independent and also have a lot of love and warmth to give. I really enjoyed the details we've been provided throughout the show about the family unit; like Noelene helping her dad deliver furniture during the school holidays, and Jen and their mum having community connections at the chemist, as well as the family's pride in being resourceful and hardworking, and especially in their Korean culture. They enjoy engaging in pop culture together, and no matter how hard a day at work is, there's always a meal and company waiting in the living room when they get home. And this same hospitality is now extended to Rob too, who is so respectful towards Mr and Mrs Kim and Jen, and looks to engage wholeheartedly and lovingly with them.

The actors of the girls' parents - Meewon Yang and Joe Cho - only have The Newsreader as their sole screen credit, but I've loved having them on my screens. My heart was warmed seeing this tweet from Michael Lucas in S2 that Joe Cho taught Stephen Peacocke how to bow correctly for the proposal scene. It was a beautiful detail to include, and a wonderful gesture of respect on Rob's behalf, as well as learning how to propose in Korean through Jen too.

On behalf of all Newsreader fans, I also want to extend a belated congratulations to Meewon Yang for her OAM award last year! Reverend Meewon Yang was awarded an OAM for her services to Baptist Churches of Australia, and to refugee support services. Reading about some of Rev. Yang's work, I'm wowed by how smart and compassionate she is, and how she looks to inspire and include people of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds so that they can find their own unique voice in the church and society. What an incredible lady! Newsreader actors inspiring others, as always! 💖🌟

Next week can’t come any sooner! I really hope they’re not trying to tell us that Jun has loved WooJoo all through their friendship because??

Let’s just focus on the bigger picture:

WooJoo & DongJin loving and protecting each other whilst saving the company.

Jun & HaeSung: longtime sibling-friends-turned-lovers.

MinYoung: the ex from hell that we wish would just go back cause we truly don’t care.

Don’t fuck this up with some dragged out love triangle. Pls!!!!

[yourfavebooklrsfavebooklr]

Happy bi week to those who celebrate! These are some books which contain bi main characters (including some bi aros / bi aces) that I’ve read and enjoyed. Every book on this list is one I would recommend to someone (depending on the person).

(My apologies if some of them contain pan main characters instead, it’s been a while since I’ve read a lot of them and I don’t completely remember. I tried to check but I can’t be 100% sure)

Also, bonus: An Arcane Inheritance by Kamilah Cole is a bi4bi dark academia thriller coming out in 2025!

new year, new chance for me to be annoying. may i present: chemistry i think we deserve to see repeated in 2k23, as a treat: a non-exhaustive list

1. Chae Soo-bin & Yoo Seung-ho

Why: Um...hello???

2. Jung So-min & Seo In-guk

Why: Their chemistry was insane but the drama was insaner. Real word. After the last few years we deserve these two in a Rom Com.

3. Hani & Kwak Si-yang

Why: did I even watch this drama? No. That's how insane these two were. In gifs only and I am still not over it.

4. Kim Seul-gi & Yoon Doo Joon

Why: I lied maybe this is my number one. Anyway, I'm right and will not be accepting criticism.

please feel free to add your nominations...

i had dokyeom only get one tattooed though because it was his first time so i figured less is better for a first!

[awkwardsadmad]
