    Summer ’16, Part 2

    As some of you may have seen from my Twitter, I was at PAX this past weekend! Spoiler: it was awesome. I was only away for 3 days, but I was surprised by how many drama episodes I was able to squeeze in…

    LOL I love these gossiping surgeons. They don’t have much to do, but they bring light to this drama. #THANKFUL

    Third drama with this guy (still don’t know his name). First times were Dakara Koya and Tamiou (Kaibara-kun)!

    Anyway, this drama is so damn messy lol

    The future is ✨ BRIGHT ✨, my friends! I decided to “pass/fail” (so to speak) some dramas, but ended up passing most of them. I love having so many Japanese dramas to watch!

    Spring ’16, Part 1

    NOTE: I wrote this on May 1, where it continued to languish in my drafts until I finished Fire Emblem Fates (AGAIN) and realized that I didn’t have anything to do. And I finally started watching Japanese dramas again after not finishing any of the ones in my Winter ’16 post. Progress!

    I’ll be honest. After Signal, I lost interest in watching any dramas. And how could I not? It was just… so much. SO MUCH PERFECTION! And you heard it here first — there’s nothing that will top it this year. I didn’t bother finishing any of the other ones I started either, and it probably didn’t help that I was in the middle of last minute travel prep and Fire Emblem Fates. I did watch some of Sanadamaru while I was in Japan and while it was very exciting to go to Osaka Castle (where I had a moment and realized why I kept seeing Sakai Masato’s face all over Osaka stations… lol), I wasn’t like “oh my gosh, gotta watch some dramas!”

    Cheese in da TRAP

    I think I’m going to drop this show, and not because I’m a Yoo Jung apologist, but because I really do feel bad for Park Haejin and I’m KIND OF a purist when it comes to adapations.

    No, something I respect about the webtoon was that Inho kept a respectful distance while being so friendly and cute with the fam, and Seol obviously valued their friendship!!! But now it’s Cantabile in the Trap and that’s a shame considering how rich the source material is.

    Winter ’16, Part 2

    Always feels nice to watch a Japanese drama, especially since it’s so easy to watch Korean ones so regularly — I say this all the time. As usual, I’m not watching very many and I’m watching them intermittently due to availability and what not…

    Winter ’16, Part 1

    I’ve gotten a little lazy when it comes to dramas these days… I’m only watching 3 as opposed to something crazy like 5-6 at once. Just 3…

    RE: Signal 8

    That damn ointment…

    I don’t like the idea of inserting a loveline where it doesn’t need to be (and that includes shipping, which I’m normally OK with, but Signal seems SO not the show for this). That said…

    Cha Soo-hyun’s affection for her beloved sunbae makes me want to cry 😫😫😫 I love her so much! I JUST WANT HER TO BE HAPPY… and I want her to have all the things. I mean ffs, she goes to the coroner every week just to see if his body turns up… my heart… ow
