I made the Cadiz Cardigan with it. In the beet color. SUPERB. This is from my Ravelry page.

#EYDC2025 Day 12 A platonic relationship you loved: #GenieMakeAWish Granddaugher Ki Ka Young ( #BaeSuzy) & grandma Oh Pan Geum ( #KimMiKyung & #AhnEunJin). OPG's steadfast courage & astute strategy for raising her psychopath granddaughter JUST WOW. Plus: stuff occurs 😆

#EYDC2025 Day 11: a drama that taught you something new.
#LikeFlowersInSand - ok it's not a 2025 drama but I watched it in 2025. I didn't know a thing about Korean tradition wrestling 씨름 (ssireum) before. Now: respect!

#EYDC2025 Day 10: Did you rewatch dramas in 2025? Why yes I did: #TheKingEternalMonarch and #Vincenzo. I am now rewatching #Reply1988. I have dipped into rewatching some of #UncannyCounter, #Tomorrow, and #WelcomeToSamdalRi too. One of these days I'll rewatch #Goblin just to see how it feels.

#EYDC2025 Day 9: Did I watch older(ish) dramas in 2025? Yes. Oh, which ones? ... #Hwarang, #LoveToHateYou, #Reply1994, #TaxiDriver1, #WhereStarsLand, #IfYouWishUponMe ... I had a good year in #kdrama land.
Also I hadn't seen this pic of #ParkSeoJun before and I am here for it.

#EYDC2025 Day 8: Standout secondary character. I cannot tell a lie, I love the mighty #YoonByungHee as Flower Master in #HeadOverHeels. The way he brings Flower Master to life as a male shaman possessed by a female god--glorious. New dissertation topic for me!

Day 7 #EYDC2025 Fave character of 2025...
#BaeSuzy as Ki Ka-Young in #GenieMakeAWish. Hands down. Suzy knocked it out of the park, and Ki Ka-Young was a fantastic character. I'm not normally a fan of psychopaths (real or fictional ha), but WOW Suzy's Ki Ka-Young!

Ah yes the impossible to answer Day 3 (fave actor I found in 2025) #EYDC2025. Going with #ChooYoungWoo, only because I'd already noticed #LeeChaeMin in his tiny role in Alchemy of Souls! (Do I have good eyes or what?).

Chaotically doing #EYDC2025
Day 2: fave actress I discovered in 2025: #JangNaRa Met her in #SellYourHauntedHouse, then also adored #GoodPartner. So badass.

Can't get husband to watch #kdrama with me (prob just as well...) but got him started watching #jdrama #MidnightDiner and he likes it! Wheeee!

#EYDC2025 Day 5 A visually beautiful drama. Hard to get past, er, #KimWooBin with long hair in #GenieMakeAWish or #LeeChaeMin existing in #BonAppetitYourMajesty but the task is broader. So I say #MyYouth for soft soothing palette. Or #HeadOverHeels shamanism sets!

I woke up at 4 AM with another migraine starting. Meds worked but they make me slow/tired, plus I'm already introverted. So I'm skipping Thanksgiving. Going to watch #kdrama #MoonRiver & eat bland food. Sent husb to neighbor-friend outdoor bonfire Covid-cautious T'giving solo.
This works for me.

Wow, #TyphoonFamily has hooked me right out of the gate! I've managed to miss every single #LeeJunHo drama up til now but apparently I have some catching up to do. Whoopsie! #kdrama

#MoonRiver #kdrama (the new one with #KangTaeOh and @KimSeJeong) is unexpectedly delightful. Fantastic roles for both these actors. I'm a medium sageuk fan, & especially love the ones where something crazy goes down. And here we are!

I swear the dilute calicos and dilute torties have something extra going on.
Mine isn't dilute, but is a tortie with white (tuxedo tortie, with flame points, prob has Siamese ancestor). Her something extra is like high test extra. She is 16 and kicks my ass on the regular. BEST CAT!

OK, and also watching tons and tons of #kdrama and learning Korean because one has to keep on keeping on (pic: Lee Je Hoon in Taxi Driver; Lee Jae Wook in Alchemy of Souls)

#Kdrama #TheArtOfNegotiation is terrific. Came here for #LeeJeHoon (with fancy white hair), but gosh #KimDaeMyung is delightful as a sweetie-pie attorney!

SUCH a common trope! Makes me think of My Sweet Mobster, Chocolate, The King's Affection. But really...it's everywhere!

I get this! For me, I think it was maybe the 5th Kdrama I ever watched? And I'm a huge paranormal/mystical/SF fan so it just hit a lot of notes for me. I enjoyed my recent rewatch--and now I feel done with it (except Jangmi, I will never be done with Jangmi).

#dramaJoyChallenge Day 7: Cute animal.
Resisting the urge to nominate Woo Do Hwon and Lee Sang Yi in #Bloodhounds haha, I will stay true to the spirit of the thing and nominate.....MAXIMUS in #TheKingEternalMonarch. Altho "cute" is probably not the right word.

I have just finished #MyYouth and have no idea how I'm going to transition to a new drama. To be fair, I've got #LastSummer already slightly underway. Also started #MoonInTheDay a little while ago but it didn't hook me. I think I need a paranormal or sageuk before really diving into Last Summer.

Kim Young Dae is just....I cannot even with that guy. I am NOT going start Dear X until it's all dropped because....Kim Young Dae. I am still not recovered from the tuxedo reveal scene in No Gain No Love. Not sorry, either.

I'm going with #TheMidnightStudio (ghosts! possession! #JooWon! #YooInSoo!) and also #HeadOverHeels (more ghosts! more possession! shamans! #ChoYiHyun! #ChooYoungWoo! #KimMiKyung!). Also seconding #SellYourHauntedHouse that has already been mentioned.
