Not-so-Closet Asian drama enthusiast who really, truly does not have time for the copious amounts of shows I am currently consuming, but like a tragic addict, I do it anyway, often late at night, to my absolute detriment! I am fascinated by the different cultures represented through film and really enjoy learning about the nuances of language and life in other countries. As an Asian and a long-time resident of Australia, I have a heightened sense of what it feels like to not quite fit in any box. On the one hand, I recommend shows to my Australian friends knowing that they have never even heard of Viki and that they would miss so much of the subtext in Asian shows. On the other hand, I think and speak in English, have to read subtitles for all the shows I love and am very aware of the subtext I myself am missing - the irony is not lost on me!

I enjoy all sorts of shows, but given the craziness of life in general, I have a limit to how much depressing reality I need to consume in my downtime, and I am a total wimp when it comes to horror, so don’t even. I have a healthy appetite for rom-com, slice of life, food and sports themed shows and most recently have discovered a voracious appetite for BL. This both thrills and dismays - still unpicking the implications for this, stay tuned.
