It's really happening 😭

I just know this role is gonna be career-defining for her.

Thank you so much! The use of palimpsest is my comparative literature brain coming out ♥️

The way I see it, the drama wants Mok-ha's story to be propelled by skills she learned on the island. Survival is obviously something she's good at, and they're applying it to surviving in the music industry.

I'm enjoying this drama so far, but I think it's taken far too long to get at the meat of the story, aka Ki-ho and Mok-ha's relationship. I write about it here: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/11/16/castaway-divas-biggest-strength/

This is still one of my absolute favourite dramas. It's flawed obviously, but it's also SO ambitious. I wrote an essay years ago about all of its brilliant existential themes, and it's still probably the best thing I've written: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2022/05/14/the-existential-brilliance-of-extraordinary-you/

I like this special a lot, I think it did something really special with Hyuga and Makoto's relationship. I actually just wrote about it if you're interested: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/08/24/accepting-influence-in-rich-man-poor-woman-dramas/

A take I heard about King the Land recently inspired this blog post on why I love rich man/poor woman dramas: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/08/24/accepting-influence-in-rich-man-poor-woman-dramas/

I love this drama, it's one of my favourites. I found a way to work it into a blog post today: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/08/24/accepting-influence-in-rich-man-poor-woman-dramas/

After lots of recaps and a review, I've written about F4 Thailand again!

I get it 😂
Pretty much every weekend I've watched has had at least one character I couldn't stand, but this one had MANY.
I'm really glad you enjoyed this! ♥️

If you're not very emotionally invested in it, this is a pretty fun light watch!
Take a drink every time Dan-dan tries to quit and fails, or every time Young-gook overlooks his kids being abused, and you've got a pretty good drinking game too! 😂

Thank you, and you're very welcome!

I wrote a little something something about how King the Land treats performative smiling: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/07/02/smiles-in-king-the-land/

Not willing to sit through the whole thing but curious to know what happens? Here's a recap I wrote: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/06/17/young-lady-and-gentleman-weekend-drama-recaps/
Enjoy!

I love this drama - I'd say it's one of my top ten K-dramas - but not everyone feels the same! A group watch with some friends inspired this write-up on Healer and its cultural staying power: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/05/27/a-healer-retrospective/

Uncalled for, but reminded me of when he played the child-abusing villain in Mother and was receiving death threats because his performance was so convincing. Talent will talent, huh?

So, revisiting this drama was an interesting experience: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/04/06/does-anyone-remember-ma-boy/

Oooh, that's an interesting read of it! 😲
