SF8: Ep3 - Joan's Galaxy

[aylinaliens]

the way everyone continues to sleep on an absolute powerhouse and one of the greatest cinematic pieces to exist really is my villain origin story. do you like sapphics?? do you like touch starved sapphics?? do you like sapphics stargazing?? do you like sapphics serenading each other?? what about sapphics running in the rain and gently brushing their hands through the others hair?? do you like it when sapphics ask the other if they can feel their pulse?? what about sapphics saying that they can ‘see the stars’ when they look into each other’s eyes?? no? you don’t? unfollow me right now i don’t support that kind of energy in my house. anyways go watch sf8: joan’s galaxy immediately <3

I still wanted to share this one scene from Joan’s Galaxy. I just thought it was really nice how out of such a small thing like the smell of coffee, they could turn it into a moment of character development and depth.

“I want to try it.”

Such a short sentence but it holds a lot of power to me. Not just in this scene but in life in general. Face your fears or just do it to experience something new. Every once in a while try something you haven’t before. There’s so many beautiful things in this world to explore. Sometimes it takes some courage to se this step to actually try something new. It’s not always easy but it can be really worth it.

I’m sitting here, thinking, what new thing could I try? What do I want to try? Actually this reminds me that tonight I tried a fruit I hadn’t eaten before. I didn’t like the taste of it though, but I did try it. I learned more about my taste because of it. I think something else I would like to try is to create more of a skin care routine with some new products. I haven’t really had a good routine with that for years so in a way I see that as a new thing.

What is a new thing you want to or could try?

Lesbian Romance/ WLW K-Dramas:

BLs gets all of the attention so I thought we could give the lesbians some love! 

Below are the WLW dramas I’ve watched. There aren’t as many as bls and they tend to be waaaaay lower budget and super short, but that’s part of the charm in my opinion. Enjoy!

Hi ! I’m sorry, I hope you accept asks from strangers. I just discovered your tumblr and am also very new to lakorn and dramas in general. Do you by any chance would have any recs of good wlw shows please ? Your gifsets are amazing you seem to have very good taste !

hiii first of all thank you sm you're so sweet 🥺 im flattereddd gotta say i would not trust my taste that much its really all over the place 🫣 but i'll leave some wlw shows/movies for youu keep in mind that since wlw is unfortunately not such a big genre most of these are super short or very low budget but we love them anywaysss

she loves to cook and she loves to eat: suuuper sweet slice of life about two neighbours who get together to eat addressing also all the expectations that get put on women by society.

sf8: the prayer (ep1): a caregiver robot falls in love with the daughter of her elderly patient.

sf8: joan's galaxy (ep 3): the world is divided between rich people who can afford healthcare and poor ppl who cannot and die young from contamination to the enviroment. (START WITH THIS ONE JUST TRUST ME. if u gotta watch 1 thing from the whole list its this. bring the tissues.)

GAP: the typical intern dates the CEO but make it lesbians.

sleep with me: a radio host who gives love advice to her listeners falls for one of the contestants who comes to claim a price.

fragrance of the first flower: two women who separated in high school reunite after many years and realize the spark they felt back then is still present. (they dont end up together which pissed off a lot of people but i enjoyed this, dont mind a sad ending if its done right)

fantasy of the girls: the high school theatre club does romeo and juliet, the girl that plays juliet starts having feelings for her co-star.

alice: crack of season: girl in love w her high school bestie.

the serpent's song: gay nun kitty chicha.

the substitute: the lead actress in an action movie and her stunt double fall in love.

couple of mirrors: a novelist befriends an assassin. (it's like super censored so its "friendship" but i liked the whole plot)

the married woman: gotta admit that the ending did piss me off a looooot but we gotta mention it bc 85% of this was gr8

love tech: an app that controls everyone's love life including who they should date, and when should they break up.

farewell song: a band falls apart due to unrequited love, but they decide to get together for a farewell tour. (they tried to sell it as a straight love triangle AND YETTT its all ab the lesbiansss no one cares ab that dudeee we're here for MUGI AND NANA 😍)

condo barista architect: an architect falls for a girl that runs a coffee shop.

schoolgirl complex: a high school senior falls for their new club member who is known for being unreliable. (on the same note a very similar japanese movie is blue)

aaand i do have more on my review page <3 but i think these ones stood out the most to me. bc then there's the whole genre of youtube wlw like shakeshoulder, cheezefilm, 75°C, legend of yun qian / legend of yunze, am i the only one with butterflies, lily fever, girlfriend project etc like if you start going down this path you'll find a lot lol though they are usually just ads with a wlw plot but fun to watch anyways?

#KDRAMAWOMENSWEEK. Day 1: All About ‘Romantic’ Love Shin Jo An & Yi Oh (SF8: Joan's Galaxy)

[aylinaliens]

SF8: Joan’s Galaxy (2020)

There’s something I wanted to try. Okay. What is it? You know...when Mr. Yorick is passing by a store in Paris, he sees a woman sewing in the store. Then he goes into the store and tells her ‘I’d like to feel your pulse.’ Right? Yes. Surprisingly, the woman indifferently says ‘Go ahead.’ And Mr. Yorick grabs her wrist with his fingers. He feels her pulse for one minute. And then...as if nothing happened, he continues on his way. I wonder how they felt during that one minute? I wonder too...what would that feel like? Do you want to try? Sure.

yioh and joan in sf8: joan's galaxy x thomas and alastair in chain of gold— having a random conversation and then someone (unselfconsciously) intimately touches the other

[seaofkdramas]

Life is fragile and it can be over before you know it. This story shows that. Not with just a fictional story, but one that is a mirror. This science fiction story represents our society so painfully well, you know? We’re taught that the time to enjoy our lives will come later. First graduate and find yourself a job. You will have all time anyway. First get a partner and get married. But wait, don’t be too late with starting a family. And hey, you can enjoy life a little, but don’t do anything to risky, live as healthy as possible. Just live up to those standards and you’ll be fine. The time will come that you can do the things you really love.

No stop. Don’t fall into that trap. Yes these things can be important moments and steps in your life, but don’t let them stop you from doing things that make you happy. Make each day count. And you can do that in the slightest of ways. Joan told Yi Oh how every day before going to sleep she makes sure she has done at least 3 things she loves. It can be in the slightest of the things honestly. Make yourself a good meal, draw something, go for a walk, or whatever else makes you happy. Don’t wait with starting enjoying your life. Start today if you haven’t yet. It’s never too late.

The growing love between Yi Oh and Joan is so precious and beautiful to see. The way it is portrayed, honestly the way this whole story is portrayed is just incredible. This whole episode is just so wholesome, it makes you laugh, cry and think. But… even though I liked the ending, I wish there was one thing they would have done different. Yi Oh decides to leave Joan and undergo the surgery so she has the possibility to live longer after all. And what bothered me was that the writers barely showed anything of how Yi Oh was a changed person now, besides when she was by herself thinking about Joan. I wish we could have seen more of Joan’s impact on Yi Oh’s life on the outside too. I wanted this experience to make her just rebel against her C family at least a little, against their way of living which was all about just staying alive, but not actually living.

But yeah, definitely give this a watch please!
