Sassy Liu Ling meet Serious Shen Yan

I knew the miminute I watch the FL Liu Ling; played by Bin Yan struggle to not get out of bed due to the music playing because its her birthday I knew I was going to like it. She meets Shen Yan; played by Ye Cheng in the least likely place and knew from a poem prose (she recites) that he could wake up the humdrum in her life. Wanting to get away from her father and stepmother she follows Shen Yan to Yichen. From there all things gets good. While Liu Ling is sassy Shen Yan is very serious he is all business and serious at his role but slowly they fall in love. Not giving too much of anything away my favorite moments is the rikety bridge of death where love is compared to the heaven, Liu Ling grandfather, all his scenes, he loves his grandaughter, Shen Yu; Shen Yan brother (i love his wind whisperersand eye brows- he is adorable and witty) and Liu Ling Shen Yan wedding ceremony. I am glad I watched this. It was all the right substance I needed in Cdramaland. I needed a break from the politics and scheming you'd get from a palace drama (dont get me wrong they can be good, when done correctly) Great casting and storyline, this was a refreshingly light drama.

The acting in Weak Hero is a 10

I binge this in one sitting and I'm shooketh the ef up, it's good but heavy ??‍?

❌️‼️WARNING‼️❌️
●violence
●school bullying
●physical (mental//emotional) abuse

3 MLs in middle school; The Smart One, The Athletic One and The Rich One and of course three different personalities and they became the best of friends.

Ep 1 started with the Smart One focus on his studies and grade, the Athletic One coasting through life calm and chill, the Rich One trying to avoid unwanted attention spiral into Ep 2 into one crazy fkkn mess.
This drama spiral so far into so many triggers in their life you miss (barely) their happy moments and it continues to spiral even more once the Rich One list of complexities,insecurities and LACK of communication comes in play and make one giant mess.

MY takeaway from Weak Hero is that all the adults and I mean ALL OF THEM are either absent, clueless, complacent, narcissistic, evil or self absorbs.

Only 8 episodes and(with plans of S2 as it should be) S1 ended on a Cliffhanger
(I'm also reading the webtoon)

...They confused the Socio vs Psycho traits

Sorry NOT Sorry but Somebody was dumb af, frustrating and uncomfortable and I'm gonna tell you why:

1. I blame all this on the writing. The actors and actresses did the work and their job, they did it well but the writing is shoddy, confusing and was not thoroughly researched

2. It's either you're a sociopath or psychopath - you can't be both

3. Both traits are incapable of love or liking or holding a relationship or implying a relationship. It's distorted and not really love/like

4. They implied the police officer was more interested in d!k and not protecting herself and the situation around her by doing the most of nothing and nearly getting herself killed multiple times

5. He has been in these women faces time and time again and have not done anything - again it's either you're a sociopath or a psychopath you cannot be both

6. Nature vs Nurture hence Sociopaths are made and psychopaths are born And I was hella confused by this during the conversation he had with the little boy and the maze

7. They have confused mental illness with autism- she's autistic; on the asberger spectrum

Those that taking up space at Gwang Lim Mansion

whats up with these 7.5 ish scores. hahaha, its a supernatural movie and I'm really glad it barely use the typical "Jump Scare" tactic to get a rise out of me....

Right, so, I've concluded my horror supernatural watching for the month of October with Sung Joon starring in The Grotesque Mansion.

Looking at Ji Woo; he's a struggling webtoon artist and has tanked with his previous toon but not wanting to draw/write another failure went looking for inspiration at the massive Gwang Lim Mansion Apartment.

He sits with the caretaker for a bit of 'tea and tale' of the tenants.
With these interwoven tales and my over thinking "the rules to a good scary movie" plot, I figured out what was to come for Ji Woo half way into the movie.

Keep in mind of my not expecting much from the movie other than a win for Ji Woo, I enjoyed the tales told at Gwang Lim Mansion and its dark leering spaces as each were moral tales.

I say peep this one on Viki or Tubi, If you can handle dark corners and scenes, the unkempt, minor grossness and the hues of blues, black and grey used to tone film the movie.

Juvenile Court room drama

Binge all 10 episodes of this court drama went from 0 to 100 in its 1st episode and hasn't stop ?

Kim Hye Soo character Judge Shim does not hold back during her ruling in juvenile court even going out on her own to investigate to the chagrin and some level of respect from her Presiding Judge.
We see cases unfold under the ruling of Juvenile Law in need of restructing....

Each episode hits you in the feels, you'll see cases on Premeditated murder, domestic violence, underage prostitution, school cheating scandal and juvenile defense victim blaming.
This series is heavy, HEAVY - Brace yourselves with this one.

Alchemy 2

Are YOU watching Alchemy of Souls ² ?
Did you watch Alchemy 1?
If not you're really missing out and I don't know how spoiler free I can get discussing 2 if you STILL haven't watch 1 yet but here I go ??

We are already on episode 4 of Alchemy of Souls ² and I'm already flux with so much emotions.
It's the death anniversary and Jin Mu got so much villainous plotting up his sleeve, when I'm thinking he got no stones to work with, he does a good ole fashion conjuring- he's too much but I'm here for it ???

Maidservant Kim and Jin are soo adorable, their scenes are so cherished and precious.

Bu Yeon (Naksu) quick tongue is putting folks right in their places.

Meanwhile, Jang Uk placement of grief is falling heavily on Bu Yeon shoulders- how much of Uk hot and coldness can she handle. It made me so sad watching how that last scene unfolded. I'm sad for Bu Yeon.

I'm Anticipating on how all this is gonna play out in Ep 5 but im sure it'll be good, The Hong Sister really can spin a tale with their screenwriting indeed!

Here for the Duel Role

Completed and I enjoyed it.
He played duel role in this one:
•A holy saint (from a different world) with spiritual powers and can sing but not dance
• A Self Centered undermining (modern world) Idol in the making who can't sing but can dance.

I thoroughly enjoy the scenes he have with the other group members and I love those songs he sings.
There is humor, sadness, a deal, misunderstanding and battle between good and evil. Religion is VERY obvious but not in your face and FL is tolerable.

Excellent kiss scenes !! This include a very endearing why dafuq am I crying forehead kiss and scream in my pillow kiss?? this man is good, ok!! and she does reciprocate (thank goodness)

When the present is just as troubling as the past

Oh my God this drama is everything!!
I've shouted at the tv, shook my head at the leads and their 'what is it are you doing', replayed a passionate kiss a few times and questioned decision makings too when things barely goes their way. We have a famous painter whose also a doting mother and and the woman who plays a big part of her past; a shelf of her former self seeking revenge. There is the typical do as I say Mother in Law/ judgmental Sis in law and both with their issues that you can't help but feel that oh I get it/fight or flight)And let's not forget the husbands. You have a husband who loves his wife, an abusive lawyer husband and a reckless husband with amnesia, I called just about everything in this revenge story but something dawned on me while watching episode 15; That this may well be Hae won revenge all along and how'd i missed it.
Because of the heavy drama revenge storyline, I did not expect a plot twist but I did expect someone dying or getting hurt badly in this one. I'd say this one is worth the watch.

Cheer Up! Everything's gonna be O.K.

There is a serious loss and disgust of campus spirit from students that wants to do away with the Theia Cheer team.

They got to deal with misplace funds from previous capt.
Then the Dean cut even more of their funding.
But the worse trouble for them all is the prophecies a former cheer turned shamen foretold back in the 90s and with two prophecies that came true there is that (up)pending third.

With the lack of members the Cheer future on campus looks dim.

A 'prickly by the book' ML going through some personal demons
A 'bubbly bright' focus on her money FL
A SML who has openly display his affection for FL.
A rich eccentric lurking about the Cheer team.
A 'was that a scene of a murder' ??

I'd like to add everything mention above has been laid out in the first 30 minutes of the drama which mean for a 16 episode drama I'm expecting 5-8 episodes being fillers for secondary acting :)

And that is ok, i like this idea for a uni drama- I'll watch this one and see where it goes.

This is not an 'adaption' more like loosely base on Little Women

Currently Little Women Ep 1-3
I thought Little Women was gonna be a light and airy drama ? I mean on MDL it's says 'adapted from the novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott'
There is nothing adapted in this here drama but embezzlement,money. It's a murder mystery.
Should have written loosely base since the Oh sisters are poor.
??
What I'm not loving:
The lack of communication in these dramas is getting real old, real fast.
I'm on Ep 3 and I'm really disappointed in In Joo (Kim Go Eun ❤️ Yumi Cells series) the oldest and In Kyung (Nam Ji hyun ❤️365) the middle and their behavior with the rich family Park who is clearly taking advantage of their little sister In Hye (Park Ji Hoo ❤️ All of Us Are Dead)

What I'm loving:
As someone who loves plants and flowers that princess Orchid is gorgeous and I want one ??

The men I REALLY enjoy seeing:
Actor Uhm Kijoon and it looking like he is up to no good (like his counterpart Dan Tae in Penhouse series) with his running for mayor shady self. Give me more screentime with him, he does villian so well ????

Actor Wi Hajoon he is slowly making his way to ML status and that smile (he also has some nice wrist veins too) ??

I'll add my final thought after completion
