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 ...

Y'all... this really was the year for legendary comebacks. We started with a bang in January with IU pre-releasing Celebrity, which is just fantastic. Followed by SHINee that hadn't come out with an album since 2018. Then, unexpectedly, fucking 2pm. I have missed them so much and legit thought they disbanded since they hadn't come out with anything since 2016, but it turns out that they were all just in the military. We have been blessed. I have tried to keep better track of kpop songs that I have really liked this past year on a YouTube playlist, since that is where I find most of my kpop. I use Spotify(/Deezer because Spotify's ads have been driving me insane so I have been experimenting with other music streaming sites/apps) for bsides and indie music, so I have been trying to listen to more actual albums rather than just the title track. This took so long to write because 1. My keyboard does not work so I had to copy and paste all apostrophes, "g"s, and ...
