only half a month late...
ateez. another comeback from our nuggets. come on ‘zero: fever, pt.3’ did not disappoint. ‘deja vu’, ‘all about you’, ‘not too late’ oh my goodness. they did such a great job! i love it!
nct 127 we had a comeback and though ‘stickers’ unique flute sound does not sit well with me, they’re still my babes and i will support. i liked ‘lemonade’, ‘magic carpet ride’, ‘the rainy night’, ‘road trip’ and ‘promise you’. i loved the concept videos that they did for each track. it just makes the countdown to the drop even better. and can we take a moment for the seoul city concept photos.
‘full of you’ by so soo bin. i love this man. his voice is like butter. so chill like honey. 10 out of 10 recommend. also love ‘oh-i’.
'red lipstick (feat. yoonmirae)’ by leehi. it’s a bop. it’s funky. it’s fresh. it’s groovy. 10 out of 10 recommend.
‘my universe’ by coldplay X bts. ICONIC to say the least. it is great. an incredible song. i love that they truly collaborated together with this one. it is great. 10 out of 10 recommend.
LISA. this queen. though initially did not vibe. both songs have grown on me and i love how bad butt they make me feel.
‘stereotype’ by stayc. i know it’s everywhere but my goodness it is great!
DP. this was on my radar because of our main lead, jung hae-in. but, oh my goodness, was this a hard hitting drama. we follow jun-ho as he enlists in his required duty in the korean army. he soon becomes a special private with a unique assignment to capture army deserters. each episode spotlights a unique individual and their reasons for deserting the army. it was heart breaking, and did not shy away from hazing and bulling present there. i am unsure what was fact or fiction, but it was brutal. i would recommend but definitely watch with caution because it surrounds heavy topics.
blue birthday. another interesting drama with a star studded cast. it had a unique concept in that our main girl, ha-rin played by yeri, can time travel when she burns photos taken by her best friend from childhood seo-jun who was thought to have previously committed suicide in high school. through many turns of events ha-rin discovers that he was actually murdered. and through multiple ripple effects ha-rin and seo-jun save each other. it was interesting and i thoroughly enjoyed it. i would give it a 7 out of 10.
move to heaven. this was an unexpected gem. i was intrigued to watch because i had finished ‘racket boys’ the month prior and loved the lead, tang joon-sang. and i am so glad i did. we follow geu-ru who has asperger’s syndrome who works for his father at ‘move to heaven’ an after death service that arranges the items of the deceased. when geu-ru’s father dies, his uncle sang-gu suddenly appears. and we follow them as they learn about each other. recommend 9.5 out of 10. a full review to come…
hospital playlist season 2. YESSSSS our long awaited second season. it was so great, and i loved every second of it. it will have to have it’s own rewind because i have so many feelings and thoughts on this one. i would 100 out of 10 recommend.
squid game. y’all this one was WILD. had this cast not been a part of this drama probably would not have given it a watch because it truly is gruesome and harsh. however, this cast really intrigued me and i am glad i gave it a watch. because it was a drama that makes you think about it long after it is finished about the realities of the world and how though this seems outlandish and insane, what are other things that show our true realities and this horrible side of human nature. probably give it an 8 out of 10. (p.s. that plot twist kind of saw it coming but yeah know it’s still fun to see those easter egg videos because there are definitely more that i didn’t pick up on.)
