So I binged Castaway Diva yesterday and I had a few thoughts. Honestly, the first time I started Castaway Diva, I almost stopped when they introduced a love triangle. Because let's be honest; love triangles suck. But I thought of giving it a shot after seeing the trajectory the love triangle trope was taking in Korean movies and series, as seen in hometown cha cha cha, 20th century girl, Daily dose of sunshine, crash course in romance and etc. And needless to say, I wasn't disappointed. The drama is beautiful and heartwarming and heart touching and I especially loved the way they resolved the love triangle. Clear and open communication. And the realisation of the importance and worth of platonic relationships.
For too long, we have seen platonic relationships relegated to the place of a consolation prize. Something you get when you don't get the girl. But platonic relationships are beautiful and worthy of the same amount of love and commitment that romantic relationships have and it's about time that series and movies realise that and follow that instead of just throwing the second lead in the shadows. I hope the next trajectory will let us see some polyamory.

Tis the Season to be Jolly my Nuggets!
It is once again that time of year to send in your favorite actors, soloists, and group members for the 'Tis the Season 2023 Event. Originally, I was going to have the same rules as the previous two events, but with the addition of KDrama / KMovie characters to my masterlist I'm changing a few things. Every week of the event I will write for one artist/character/actor/soloist/group member of my choice or that I haven't written for before (this is to get some variety in these events since it does feel like I tend to write for the same people every time). These will be listed on the calendar below with those respective prompts. Seven (7) requests for actors and group members will be accepted (meaning for each category). Six (6) requests for soloists and drama/movie characters will be accepted (for each category). Like before, no repeats and only one celeb per prompt unless the prompt directly calls for it. I also ask that when requesting for soloists to please, please, request intially for the soloists listed on my masterlist (or suggest new ones for a quick drabble. i'm very open and did it for the 3 year event). I will take requests for group members who also promote as soloists later on in the requesting period when I feel like enough time has passed to accept them. Now all of that is out of the way, I do have a few things I wanted to express to all of you.
I want to thank you for the wonderful year and support I have received this 2023 season. I hope all of you have a very happy holiday season no matter what it is that you and your loved ones celebrate. Happy Holidays and Happy Reading! Please send requests in during the month of October! And please continue to be incredible readers and little chicken nuggies!
Love,

30 mins into My Name is Loh Ki Wan and im already breaking the fuck down.
Joong Ki is really knocking it out of the park with his film choices lately. The screenplay, the direction, the cinematography, the writing, the editing, the acting, the sound; each and every bit is engrossing as hell. What even????
