Used to be, pre- #kdramas, that Netflix would ask if I’m still watching. Now it’s all…

My other trick is mixing one bottle grapefruit soju with three bottles plain and then rebottling and cooling them down to slushies in the freezer. I might be a heathen but I’m a heathen who means business.

Remembered too late to block out the afternoon for an extended nap and my calendar’s suddenly become infested with what can only be described as nonsense and makework. The amount of vituperative vengeance I will now have to distribute is already giving me a headache.

Local Asian supermarket has a half-price sale on Buldak 2xspicy-hot ramen no which, as you know, will melt the average human skull in +/- 8.7 seconds if left unattended. Apparently customers have learned their lesson and aren’t buying. Fools. You don’t HAVE to use the provider spice packets.

Sitting at this cafe and they’re playing French accordion music while I nibble on a pastry and wipe cappuccino foam off the tip of my nose. A young woman at the next table is reading a book of poems and sighing. It’s all so tropey I might actually die from not wearing a beret.

I don’t think I’ve been immersed long enough for this to be especially meaningful, but Imma do it anyway!

You guys the Ai NPC controversy over in #WhereWindsMeet feels misplaced. There is tons of really, really good writing in the game, and the handful of NPC chatbots seem to be A) trained on that writing, B) both rare and pointless to seek out, C) barely more than step up from a dialogue tree.

Not me dissolving into a saline puddle during the One Leaf, One Life sidequest anthology in Where Winds Meet.

Bong Joon Ho says a good thing about AI is it has ‘the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do’
He then joked that he’s ‘going to organize a military squad where their mission is to destroy AI all over the world’

Really wanted to like Strong Girl Bong-Soon but four episodes in it’s still not landing for me. Feels assembled rather than written. Reckon that’s a drop. #kdrama

uh, so what do we call the feeling between dramas? Like after finishing one #kdrama (or c or j), but before settling on the next? I don't like it, it must go.

The excessive meta-ness of the product placement jokes in Be Melodramatic should annoy me, but I laugh every time.

Is there a specific trope in #kdrama around three women being BFFs? If so it’s the best trope of all. Seen it in Be Melodramatic, Spirit Fingers, Hometown Cha³, and Mister Queen so far, and each time it’s felt way more important than the main romance.

Sod it. I’m packing it in for the day and decamping to the Chinese joint down the road for pork belly noodles, shao mai and soju. If anyone in Joburg wants to join I’m at Pron in Linden. Wear your drinking socks.

Standing ovation for #SpiritFingers. Crazy if it’s true the broadcaster shelved it for two years thinking it wouldn’t do well. Would love to know what really happened. #kdrama

Please give Director #LeeChulHa a lot of love this week on his IG.
#SpiritFingers was a project he made with a lot of effort and love, that broadcasting decided to shelve for two years before finally releasing it.
This is a really good kdrama and it deserves love!

After a run of duds I had started to think my #kdrama era was drawing to a close. But then I started up #BeMelodramatic after a fair few folks spoke of it so highly. And it got me. It got me good.
