2024 Watch List pt3

Takura-kun & Amagi-kun - This has lots of the Japanese traits that I don’t always love but I did find myself warmed by it. It’s basically two boys being teenage and idiotic whilst learning how to love and be loved. I really liked the two besties in this. 3/5 (13/3/24)

Although I love you, and you? - Apparently this is wildly different from the manga so people were hating on it but, with zero knowledge of the manga, I have to say I enjoyed it. Very silly but had a nice emotional depth to it and Sakae & Soga made for interesting leads. Also loved the little found family of friends and bar regulars. 3 ½/5 (15/3/24)

One Room Angel - This could really only be Japanese. Beautiful, bittersweet and healing this does come with a lot of trigger warnings but if you can stomach it’s darker elements it’s really worth the journey. 4/5 (26/3/24)

Love is science (BL cut) - Just about an hour on YouTube this was delightful. Undoubtedly would not have enjoyed all the different het storylines but these two should have been a show on their own. Just lush. (No rate because it’s a cut. 28/3/24)

Senpai this can’t be love - Errm. Elements I really liked, and I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as some make it out to be, but it did have a very naff ending and they deserved a better kiss. These two were cute but probably not one I’ll reach to rewatch. 3/5 (30/3/24)

WaterBoyy - I really only watched this because I’m a dumbass with completionist tendencies. It’s a show? The story and script are absolutely insane. There is so much het nonsense, which I entirely skipped, weird dated language and extremely 2017 dubcon. I can give a lot of old shows a pass for being of their time but this is bad even by 2017 standards. I’ll give it a half point for being moderately well acted. But that’s it. 1/2 (1/4/24)

Our Dating Sim - Very cute. Packed a surprising amount of story into a short time frame. Also delivered some nice kisses. 3/5 (2/4/24)

Jun & Jun - Enjoyed most of this. Episodes 5 & 6 felt a little redundant. Great kisses, much higher heat than standard for a K BL. Would have loved more from the manager & idol pairing, they had an interesting history and I’d like to have seen them a little more developed. I could understand why no man could resist Lee Jun’s face, a 100% cutie. 3/5 (3/4/24)

Love is better the second time around - Much to love about this one. The acting all round was stunning, Aloha as Senpai’s bitchy assistant was hilarious and I need him in a main BL role again soon, the leads were able to tell whole stories in subtle facial expressions. I think the end was satisfying but I did feel like it could have used 8 episodes instead of 6. 4/5 (10/4/24)

Unknown - Quite the surprise. I’m a little hesitant with the pseudo incest, brother lover whatever the hell you want to call it trope. But this was done beautifully well. A mild melodrama with slice of life and found family at its core this is wholly worth your time and I loved it a lot. 5/5 (20/4/24)

We Best Love (1) - I definitely did enjoy this but it also didn’t overly wow me. Shu Yi is my perfect brand of arrogant stupidity wrapped up in a pissed off little cat package so he was an easy and delightful sell for me. Also obsessed with the cousin doctor. Sam Lin and Yu have extremely good chemistry and I’m excited to watch the second series. 3 ½/5 (29/4/24)

Two Worlds - This was silly and pulpy from the get go and stayed that way. The holes have holes in this and the ending was very expected but, having said all this, I still very much enjoyed myself. Wandee knows that mindless pulp & MaxNat are a great combo and truly it is. Would make an easy, delicious spam. 3/5 (16/5/24)

Boys be brave - This felt more Japanese than Korean in some parts? Lots of character examination and broken boys being stubborn. (100% more so in the secondary pairing which really never got explored enough for my tastes.) Overall I found this very enjoyable and it didn’t entirely fluff its ending up. 3 ½/5 (16/5/24)

23.5 - I don’t think this is without its issues but the things it did well I feel it did really well. The teens in this were authentically stupid and all their problems were also accurately teen. Ignore reviews telling you the writing is bad, it isn’t, it’s just extremely specifically teen. None of the problems the girls have are relatable for adults honestly but if you’re someone who never outgrew your teen angst or is just able to remember that period well you’ll enjoy this. Milk & Love were superb as was the entire cast. I’d love more light GL stories like this one and less melodrama and sadness. 3 ½/5 (24/5/24)

Engine (2005) + an Invisible (2022) gif(t)

To reward myself for pushing through Descendants of the Sun, and to rest my wrist from the drawing/writing I did this morning, I watched episode 2 of this! I have a couple of screen recordings from scenes I adored, but will I make them into gifs? Probably not, however, I will say that if I were to make a quotebook post for every line I loved, I'd be making one every time the lead spoke! Played by Kimura Takura, Kanzaki Jiro is a charismatic character, with the perfect vibes of a racer! I think he's incredibly good looking here, even when his hair is dodgy, so I'll leave a screenshot I took below! I adore the premise and the direction I see this going, and it's certainly helped by his very carefree attitude!

There's a severe lack of gifs/screenshots of this on Tumblr no matter how I search - similar to the recent Japanese drama Invisible (2022) - so I kinda wanna make some. Speaking of Invisible, I have an old draft with a single gif from that, but I wanted to make more that the 3 I have on my laptop from 2 different episodes. In fact, now that I mention Invisible, I remember my old thing about providing Kiriko tax whenever I mentioned her or the show! I'll leave the gif from before that I intended to post so I can pet two cats with one hand! This is the very start of episode one, so no spoilers here - just Kiriko being cool and capturing my heart!

I think about this woman this show at least once a week!

The Legend & Butterfly

For the first time in a looooonnggg time I finally managed to sit through and finish a film, and this one an English-subtitled Japanese period drama based on a fictionalized account of the marriage and romance between Lord Oda Nobunaga and his wife, Lady No.

Of course, the history of Japan in these era of warlords and domains fighting for ultimate supremacy and the position of Shogun is well-known and heavily documented. Lord Nobunaga’s name is one that most people, even foreigners, are quite familiar with. But the film doesn’t focus on these historical events and on Nobunaga’s exploits as one of the foremost warlords of Japan. Rather, it tells the tale of what may have transpired when the paper screens have been drawn and we are left with Oda Nobunaga, the man, and his fract yet passionate and abiding romance with his wife, Nohime.

So about this new footage….

The Tokyo Residental Complex (where the main cast) is said to have regular lockdown emergency drills

So, maybe the aliens invaded Earth before it even started, with the complex being one of the few remaining safe places on Earth left and Takumi and the others kids were selected due to the soldiers being dead.

Cute dog!!😍🐶

141 headcanon Music taste…

(Unapologetically British edition)

Ghost: Samuel Roukin said on a live once that ghost listens to house music and I absolutely agree. He deffo listens to uk house music but I think he likes more to listen to DnB and other electronic music. He deffo once told price his favourite song was Rumble. He later got drunk and told soap it was Tainted Love.

I think the artists he would listen to would be like chase & status, Fred again, disclosure, Becky hill etc…

Price: I think the fanon is correct that Price listens to divorced dad music like Nickleback but I also think he’s a hopeless enjoyer of some JLS and for some reason I picture him listening to the Black Eyed Peas. And he secretly loves Doja cat. His favourite song is deffo mr bright side and he’s unashamed.

Gaz: he 100% has the most well rounded music taste. He’s cool. He listens to Billy Joel when he’s upset/stressed. His Mum was rly into the specials and when he was growing up he listened to them a lot, he says they’re his favourite artist but it’s actually Dave. (He would never admit that cause it’s basic) His favourite song is 100% Murder on the Dancefloor.

Soap: has a similar music taste to ghost, it’s one of the things they have in common and the both like chase & status, although soap loves Central Cee and Aitch (ghost hates them). He loves some 90s artists too because they remind him of his childhood, he is definitely an oasis lover and his favourite song is probably Don’t Look Back in Anger. He Mostly he listens to DnB.

Soap deffo played Badadan so much on base that they banned him (ghost actually enjoyed it).

im at a loss for words. theres something so powerful and captivating about this performance. the way all the musicians sound exactly the way they sound on the record, the way nicole collapses to the ground during the song. everything about not only the performance but the song is so painfully beautiful.
