Kpop, Anime, and Kdramas

I watched the first season of this drama a couple of months go and was absolutely obsessed. I was so hooked on the show. Every minute I was not binging it, I was thinking about it. It probably took me a little over a weekend to watch, because I am a college student and, sadly, the work never ends. Unfortunately, when looking up the actors for the show while watching, I was spoiled over the ending for the first season. I really felt like it detracted from my viewing experience, so a heads up, if you have not watched the first season of Yumi's Cells and do not want to be spoiled, do not read ahead.  - As I said before, this show had such a chokehold over me. My every waking minute was spent thinking about this show. I had fallen head over heels for the male lead. I am not gonna lie, I am not big on gamer bros, but he was just so cute and clumsy on their first date that I couldn't help but to fall in love. The imagery of his brain fogging up, him saying incredibly stupid and corny...

I am very much an out of sight, out of mind kind of person, so I lowkey forgot Seventeen existed. They popped up on my YouTube recommended the other day and I had a Seventeen renaissance, if you will. I watched their new mv, Hot, which was... hot, and then I watched their Dingo performance which reminded me of how much I love their discography. The next thing I know, I am binging Going Seventeen and ended up on "got tickets for the Seventeen tour" TikTok. Am I jealous? Very. I am a broke ass bitch who only just bought a keyboard despite my laptop keyboard not working for over a year now. (It's one of those really cute Ubotie ones and I am actually pretty psyched about it) Anyway, since I have fully immersed myself in Seventeen, I thought I might as well talk about the comeback.  First of all, the promotions for this comeback is like Exo debut level of effort. I love the 13 Inner Shadows teasers. They have absolutely nothing to do with the album, but they are hella artsy ...

I was going to do essential episodes like before but pretty much all of the Zoisite's episodes are important because we are at that point in the season where they are really getting the plot moving forward. So, I would recommend watching episodes 25-35. You might be able to get away with skipping an episode or 2 between episodes 28-32, but they all are kind of essential to understand what is happening from episode 33-35. So, yeah, I recommend watching all of Zoisite's episodes. Now, the rest of the post has spoilers, so that's your warning. The basic premise of this section is that everyone is fighting each other for these 7 rainbow crystals. When you have all seven crystals, it makes the silver crystal, and that is supposed to be hella powerful. So from episode 25-31, we are finding a crystal every episode. And the Sailor Scouts don't even get all the crystals (I think they only get 1 or 2). Tuxedo Mask is also collecting the crystals because literally Sailor Moon in h...

I was so excited to continue watching Sailor Moon that this is literally posted in the same week. This show is just so addictive to me, and not gonna lie, the plot really picks up in this section, so I am running off of this high of being completely invested. Now on to the actual show.  - Essential Viewing (Spoiler Free) Again I included the reasons why I think these are episodes are important blacked out, so you can highlight over it if you want to find out. Episode 14 (Introduction of Nephrite and Zoisite) Episode 15 (Rei and Mamoru start to date) Episode 17 (Introduction of Sailor Senshi Communication Device) Episode 19 (Start of Naru and Nephrite's romance and more info on Tuxedo Mask) Episode 21 (First combo attack) Episode 22 (Introduction of the Silver Crystal and Kunzite, continuation of the search for the princess, and more on Tuxedo mask) Episode 23 (Continuation of Naru and Nephrite's romance) Episode 24 (Nephrite's death) - The Villain- Nephrite (SPOILERS) First...

After a watching a video on Sailor Moon that was constantly on my recommended on YouTube, I was reminded with how much I loved this show. This, of course, led me to rewatch the entire show because wasting hours of my life for no reason is my favorite past time. I also found that I seriously lacked anime content so that led me to want to write about it. I was trying to figure out how writing this would work because there are a lot of episodes which means I'm not going to review Sailor Moon as a whole because I would forget the beginning by the time I got to the end. I also would not review every single episode because again there are a lot and since it's a superhero show there are a lot of "throw away" episodes. (This also lead me to want to create an "essential viewing" list, which would include only episodes that I think is important in regards to plot or character development.) The arcs themselves are quite large and are split into even smaller parts with ...

I really appreciated that all the teams received feedback on their performances by the experts. In all the other shows that I have seen, I only have seen them give critique for the practices but never the performances, so it is definitely something new and refreshing. I really liked that they included positives and negatives in each performance so that the groups can really learn and see what works and what needs to be fixed.  - SF9 I think the choice of The Stealer for their song was perfect. The song really fits SF9's image and sound and is perfect for the sort of concept that they were aiming for. I think the other choices of Giddy Up and Bloom Bloom would have been too difficult to turn into a storyline based performance, but the Stealer definitely fits with impactful hits and the already heist concept of the original song. I also found that the acting advice segment from award winning stage actor Jung Sung Hwa to be very interesting. I was surprised to see all of the acting st...
