tv show meme: [5/5] tv shows: bates motel

I am a small blog, only about 120 followers, who for some reason stick around to hear me geek out about all the dramas and films I love. I am thankful for all those who are willing to engage with me in a meaningful way about our common interests. In real life, there are so few people in my circle of influence that watch Asian dramas and movies and willing to appreciate and talk about them with me, near me, or in any meaningful way. So I was inspired to take a moment to shout out 5 blogs that I follow consistently who I just think are fantastic. If you follow them already, that’s great, and if you don’t you really should. This is such a small community that deserves to engage in meaningful and fun content.

1. @kdramastuff

If you are looking for awesome screencaps on currently airing dramas (particularly some maybe lesser popular Korean dramas) this is an EXCELLENT blog and one of the first I followed when starting to engage with a Tumblr community. Consider it a must if you want to find out what’s good out there. 

2. @lavenderbyun

Consistent produces or has content to discuss and some really great opinions on dramas. I absolutely love the posts on this blog and find myself in heaps of agreement with the commentary and selection that is focused on. I appreciate you and am so glad you’re on Tumblr!

3. @dramatroll

The most fun and entertaining drama memes you’re likely to see. The content is clever and sometimes laugh out loud funny --- always a nice change of pace from traditional gif sets and caps.

4. @sseureki

Secondly only to @kdramastuff, this is a blog that I regularly follow and look out for the posts. Great icons for all sorts of shows, and I love @sseureki‘s non-asian drama related posts --- very refreshing!

5. @irrational-obsessions-gottcha78

I really appreciate the commentary and tags to the posts --- So much fun to follow and super entertaining.

Honorable Mentions:

These blogs are equally good and deserve a follow as well. If I’m leaving any of your favorites out, please mention them in the comments. :-)

@xueshanshan (really great if you’re interested in stuff outside Korea!)

There's actually a pattern in The Fosters where everyone breaks up after saying I love you (Wyatt, Mat, Lou, Cort, Connor) Nothing lasts :) there's a new love interest for AJ so I'm holding out :)

"My life wasn't special at first. In the city of Seoul where more than ten million people live, like a miracle, I met special people. Us young country bumpkins' lives became bustling and noisy, and in the end, our lives became very special. We spent very special times together at the Sinchon Boarding House. We cried. We laughed. We met. We separated. We had heartaches. Even though each of us had different memories, encounters, and loves, we were together in the same place at the same time, just like miracle.

Even though we were poor salary men who needed to suck up to the world, we were still the Generation X. Even though she's a nagging mom now. She was once a hot-blooded youth that went crazy for boys. In the history of mankind, we were the only blessed generation that experienced both analog and digital cultures. The music of 70's and '80s movies.

I'm reflecting on myself for once thinking they were old-fashioned and boring. Those music and movies were not just music and movies. Those were our youth and the good old days. I've come to realize it only after getting older. It's December 28, 2013. In four days, we're turning 40. To the all 40-year-olds in the republic of Korea, and to all of us who survived the tough '90s, I dedicate these words. We lived through such amazing days. Our youth shone bright. We were passionate about love.

Do you remember those days? We were once very hip. So as we embark on another possibly difficult time of our lives, I'm proposing that we live through it with our burning passion. We were very passionate and innocent. And I miss that time so much. Do you hear me? If you can hear me, then reply. My dear '90s."
