Hi madam librarian! Would you happen to know of this Erik series where the girl is a painter and I think it’s called Oasis?

Yesss I sure do sis!!! It's called The Lion and His Lamb series by the good sis @youreallyshouldtalkmore!! Book 1 of that series is called The Oasis. I posted the masterlist. Just scroll down a bit and TLAHL series is there!

how i would run sm: Red Velvet edition

back to the series with the next logical group, Red Velvet. sm's first group after Exo and my ult girl group, similarly under a cut as per last post

triple debut (2014-2015): so to start, i actually dont mind Happiness as RV's debut and that its ot4. Yeri was really young, so i wouldnt really change those first two eras (Be Natural is my beloved but its a single and a remake so it doesnt count as their first cb in my eyes). what i would change is the schedules and some promo.

firstly, like Exo i think RV would have benefited from some sort of webtoon or lore comic starting at the second debut for ICC bc thats when we start to get hints that something in Cake Land isnt right. i have a lot of thoughts on RV lore/storyline which we will cover in the upcoming kwangya post (after nct and aespa posts bc they are integral to my version of kwangya).

second, Seulgi should have solo debuted in 2015 between Dumb Dumb and the lesbian christmas song (Wish Tree was iconic and we love Lee Jooyoung). shes been RV's ace since pre-debut, everyone knew and loved her and acknowledged her talents, and she was in multiple mvs of her sunbaes (Henry's Fantastic was the best). Seulgi being the first solo RV member feels right in every way, and while it would be very different than what we got for 28 Reasons, i think that might be partially a good thing.

the start of the success era (2016-2017): Russian Roulette was perfect and i have nothing to say about it. The only thing I would have done differently for them in 2016 was pushed for more solo/unit content, like station songs, vlogs, arts and crafts vids? like just stuff where theyre having fun and hanging out with no pressure. the main 2017 change tho is Joy solo debut. sm is so fucking stupid for NOT capitalizing on the attention Joy got from The Liar and His Lover, a show all about how perfect and amazing she is as a singer! like have her prepare and record between Red Flavor and Peek a Boo and have Peek a Boo pushed back a week or two. the concerts were a good idea, but they really should have capitalized on Joy's performance more. im still annoyed she hasnt properly debuted especially bc clips of her singing from TLAHL was what made me look into RV in the first place and why Joy is my girl ult of ults

Bad Boy (2018): id push Bad Boy back a little bc the time between PaB and BB feels too short, especially going by my plan. other than that, no major notes since the eras were pretty good and the concerts were a good idea. maybe a bit more of a rest after RBB bc of the short turn around time between that and the Japan cb + NA tour

ReVe Fest pt.1 (2019): the Ellie Goulding collab was amazing. ReVe Fest day 1 was a mess, and i say that as a Zimzalabim supporter. the styling was horrific and it all needs to go, the mv should have been more circusy and less performance vid imo, and the song is fine but maybe a less chanty chorus? ReVe Fest day 2 was good and idk why people hate Umpah Umpah bc it was cute and summery like it should have been. and then the Finale, Psycho was one of the best eras taken from us too quickly. i mean the only thing to change is to stop wendy from falling bc that killed the whole momentum and their careers for a hot minute.

the hiatus (2020): now to be clear, i am not blaming wendy for her injury or suggesting she should have come back early. its good she rested and healed properly and came back slowly to make sure everything was okay. every idol should do that. that being said, we should have gotten an ot4 album even if it was just a mini. the girls basically did nothing for a whole year waiting for her and it really did hurt them/their momentum. they should have had more solo content through the year alongside the like two group things, then Seulrene debut in june like originally planned, and then and ot4 album in fall or winter.

back on track? (2021): ot5 being at smtown was great and got everyone hyped to see the group after a full year of hiatus and they teased a cb at the performance. and then wendy killed the hype by doing her solo debut 4 months later with a ballady slow song. and she had the audacity to be like "omg i feel so bad for making everyone wait and then doing a solo" like girl wtf?? anyway gripes about her aside. Queendom was cute, but it felt lackluster after the long wait and felt more like a b-side than a title. also the mv/concepts teased all this magic and powers and a whole universe only to give us literally nothing after the first minute. why were they in a post office when the teasers were about the antique shop?? i would have changed the mv a lot to either expand on the magic or fit the teasers better.

ReVe Fest pt.2 (2022): sm cancelled the concert (rightly) bc the girls got covid but then never rescheduled bc there were "no venues open" even tho the same thing happened to dream and they got rescheduled in like two weeks so what the fuck is that about? um anyway they should have done a concert after Feel My Rhythm but also not named it ReVe Fest bc theres no point and they arent connected. ALSO FMR was beautiful and all but what happened to the ballet concept which wasnt in the mv and why did they not expand on the weird half story with Dark Queen Seulgi and the garden etc? also also FMR felt like a b-side too which was disappointing especially after queendom. and im skipping ahead to birthday bc that was actually the biggest let down of the year. the concept/teaser photos had literally nothing to do with the mv or song, the song itself was easily their worst title and did not sound good in any way, the mv styling wasnt great for pretty much everyone, the cake ver selling out before preorders even ended and before they showed us what it was/what was in it was super annoying. birthday is the biggest let down era imo and ESPECIALLY after the beauty of Wildside. Wildside was the only release in 2022 for RV that i actually 100% enjoyed from the style to the mv to the song to the plot in the mv. like it was perfect and exactly what we should have gotten as a Korean title and era. i would have absolutely done something similar for birthday, especially with the grunge outfits/concept

future plans/ideas: Yeri and Irene solo debuts, Seulrene cb, Joy actual debut this time, more solo schedules especially for the actresses, more Yeri vlogs, Seulgi cb with a better song, my highly indulgent KaiJoyYuta trio, an even more indulgent trio of Seulgi/BoA/Yunho, i think thats all i have off the top of my head.

next week nct u and the way nct overall would function before we get into the actual units

The Liar and His Lover ♡

I can’t actually believe that my favorite kdrama is officially ended. I’m so emotional but before the emo moment I just want to make a blog post how good The Liar and His Lover or Lovely Love Lie is. I know that Joy is new to the drama world but she did a great job to think that it’s only his first time. Whenever she’s crying I feel like I want to cry too. I’m so happy for my Park Soo Young because she finally made it. Just a reminder that the gifs are not mine, credits to the rightful owners.

So Rim and Han Gyeol are so adorable. Their relationship went to a whole new level. so Rim is just a girl who’s innocent and loves to sing and Han Gyeol is uh kinda douchebag in the first part but gosh guys. No words it’s like a dream come true. They’ve been through a lot (honestly speaking literally a lot) but I’m happy that they worked out not just their relationship but their attitude especially Han Gyeol. Han Gyeol changed a lot when he met So Rim. Oh wow love can really change people. I’m so happy that there are no break up scene or something. I super duper love this couple. Joy and Lee Hyun Woo’s chemistry is sooo good no wonder I ship them on and off cam.

Crude Play portrayed unity and friendship goals (literally) and I'm going to miss these precious boys so much. Stan Crude Play, stan talent. I’m sobbing because they are so precious, On and off cam they are getting along with each other. I hope that they will keep in touch even tho the drama is over. I know it’s impossible but why is Crude Play not a real band? If they were a real band ISTG I can imagine a lot of girls loving and supporting them (including me) and they were really good during the mini concert. Once again why is Crude Play not a real band? I’m sobbing

Mush & Co’s friendship is the best. Childhood friends and they are still friends with each other. Getting scolded by their teacher because they love music but thank God for teacher Bong. They’ve been through a lot nut they didn’t give up. They started as trainees and when they finally got the chance to debut aaah I super duper love it. They literally shined in their own spotlight.

the liar and his lover has officially ended and idk what to do with my life now..

[nonoshinee]

The liar and his lover was such an great drama with a great message behind it for friendship, love, trust, dreams, goals, working hard, and how really hard it is to do music in this world. This is their ending mini concert! They sang the soundtracks themselves, their beautiful smiles and voices filling the stage. Them interacting with the fans in a lovely way. This has to be my favorite fan meeting so far. They had so much fun singing and playing on the stage, talking about themselves and their roles in a clumsy and fun way! Watch it
