For archival purposes. Everything else is an extra passing cloud of obsession.

No follow-for-follow games. May in fact never check out follow notifications, well, at least after all the unpacking is finally done.
A moral redemption arc is woefully not enough. Does bookworm-nim (because this ought to be a proper phrase) Moon Yoo-seok have a book attitude redemption arc in store? Aha! Maybe there's an Easter Egg revealing that the Janus character has completed One Hundred Years of Solitude at the age of five.

One of Korea's blind judges, a Seoul National University alum, at work. Their counterparts exist in other countries. Many parts of ex-judge-written legal procedural #ProBono feel fanciful or absurd, but the bit about that solid yet underestimated competency is real.

Dutch Golden Age painting Girl With A Pearl Earring, but through what you would rightly imagine as the lens of classic Hong Kong cinema.

Also, ( #spoiler) as seen from the perspective of her aged, grieving husband from the future.

Wifey checks in on her three husbands' time-travel game, casually tosses a few pieces around and exits. Game later (i.e. #spoiler ) spits out the trio of selves and declares her the victor. Female middle age has never been more badass.

Dystopian science fiction intensifies soul transmigration romance in the #cdrama 2099. Loving the use of the visual effect from the film classic Schindler's List.

n #LGIEF and #GenieMakeAWish, the heroines' gain of (#spoiler) immense ✨power could have been more satisfactory if they had actively sought it, Miaomiao through persistent self-cultivation and Ka-young through haranguing with godly beings the way her granny did.

Genie KES made a 👎 wish: Eg. Fixing a kid's violent tendency by cutting her.

Genie KES made a 👍 wish: Sassy, fabulously wealthy FL who outsmarts ML and (#spoiler) gains his respect + ✨power. A world of difference from typical Cinderellas thought to be safer viewership bets.

#TheJourneyofLegend / Go To The Mountains And Sea would have been H's cup pf tea if it were told entirely from the perspective of the nasty writing system punishing the hard work-skipping fanfic author.

Alas, H has to settle for the official account role-playing the system: m.weibo.cn/u/7999309456

#HeavenlyEverAfter 's Heaven Support Center director is the one hollering at this other scene in #TheJourneyofLegend. Soul transmigrant Mingming should have made a pit stop in his soul orientation session. People, they never change! Flying off buildings just because they're in fantasy realm.

Cabbage Wreckage Trauma Trigger!!! The hollers of the long-suffering vegetables merchant all the way from #AvatarTheLastAirbender can be heard in #TheJourneyofLegend / Go To The Mountains & Sea. Why, the poor mister with no combat skills may be in a martial arts-dream break from his daily grind too.

These spears in #cdrama What A Wonderful World (ft #ZhaoLiying) must have been refashioned from incomplete Time Sticks and auto-summoned from the TVA in #Loki as the same-body inter-selves romance would register a deviation monitor spike even higher than the Lokis' romance across different bodies.

Re-coverage of a starfish rescue mission. For the sake of clarity of plot relevance and for the addition of a real-world observation. #SquidGame3 #Player456

Animation-drama hybrid Yumi's Cells (ft #KimGoEun) and (cdrama #spoiler ahead) split-personalities self-romance drama What A Wonderful World (ft #ZhaoLiying) declare in their different ways, "There's only ONE protagonist!"

Then they stare at each other.

The heaven in #HeavenlyEverAfter physically de-ages souls who opt for younger appearances. Here's how its fiery hell can cognitively de-age souls, maybe provided they have sufficient stress tolerance. An unnoticed silver lining by mischievous King Yeomra.

Because H's #severance chip isn't working, the two shows are happily colliding again. The #LGIEF duet featuring Cyndi Wang and zither music plays in the mind on recollection of this scene.

In a chaotic world
you fixed your gaze on me
that was the scene of my rebirth

Self-reconciliation across geographies and genres.

This is Inception. Ziqi ( #DingYuXi ) rescues himself from his soul prison of sorts in #LGIEF but wakes up months later as Mark S. ( #AdamScott ) in #Severance inside another soul prison, from which he must rescue himself again. Never easy.

Too few folks are highlighting the scifi background of the Lost Tomb franchise. Tibetan Sea Flower is H's favorite show of 2024.

Had a wonderful time looking up information on cave biogeography, even though the show doesn't draw on the discipline.

First Oscars and now the Nobel Prize in Literature for Korean storytelling. What a relief, too, that we're celebrating the female brain for a change in relation to a world-topping work from the peninsula.

But we can dream even bigger, everyone.
