Give it up to Cha Young-jin who acknowledged that italicized 'oh' revelation like he just received some kind of (not urgent, but most certainly) an important phone notification
Ever since the attack, we've been waiting for our loved ones to return to us alive. We prayed for a miracle that we never believed in before. Sir, you've become that miracle to us. — But I've lost everything... Must I still be happy that I lived?
bitches will click on a fmv after binge watching their newest obsession, not pay attention to the title, and then either 1. physically ascend, 2. feel themselves tear up, or 3. some kind of combination of the two after hearing the first few seconds of aforementioned fmv. it's me, i'm bitches
Let's play a game, with a requirement that you've watched every role in each medium he acted. Question: which seat number do you wanna pick alongside and why?
Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!
@clawbehavior, thanks for tagging me :)
And Silence Afterwards (Doctor Who, Doctor/Master, a bit of BDSM and a lot of angst)
The general public might be unaware of that, but the main sadistic feature in kinky clubs is almost always the queue to the wardrobe.
Vicious Games (Doctor Who, Wild Blue Yonder AU, non-con)
It’s not like the Master has something against eldritch beings per se.
So I Could Be Kind, So I Could Be Nice (Doctor Who, 14th Doctor whump)
He should have insisted on getting back to the TARDIS on his own.
Pretty Flowers Wilt Too Soon (Beyond Evil, prison AU)
The first thought that comes to Dong Sik’s mind is utterly ridiculous: blue doesn’t suit Han Joo Won.
My Worst Habit Is You (Are You Human Too?)
Knowing both Nam Shin and his grandfather, Ji Young Hoon should have expected his best intentions would lead to disaster.
Live Like Scum, Die Like a Hero (Designated Survivor: 60 Days)
It’s a common misconception that one dies immediately from a shot to the head.
How Much Do You Like Me? (The Devil Judge)
It happens like this: one day, when he’s racing his car on an empty Alpine highway somewhere near Brienz, he’s suddenly overcome by a temptation to close his eyes and let go of the wheel.
The Rest of Your Life (In Pain) (kdrama Blind)
Come to think of it, Ryu Sung Hoon’s days in prison don’t differ much from his usual routine.
In a Rational and Sensible Way (Beyond Evil, asexual or demisexual Han Joo Won, some BDSM, but mostly angst and hurt/comfort)
It’s not the right time, put mildly.
How Lucky Is That (Word of Honor)
Zhou Zishu will never admit it out loud, but he isn’t immune to flattery.
Any similarities, huh?
Tagging @roxannepolice @tiffanylamps @veraynes-blog @berlynn-wohl. Participate if you want to :)

love all play (2022) - wfkbj for people who aren’t annoying
little women (2022) - second half felt like a makjang damn the writers were spiraling and i couldn’t stop watching (gay little women i love you)
twinkling watermelon (2023) - worth the hype

derailment (2023) - i was baited by a tiktok i thought it’d be a cute silly little high school drama but boy was i surprised
I’m watching the Korean version of “Designated Survivor” for the first time. Based on the first episode, it’s…surprisingly better? It follows the story of the original show, but it felt like the Korean team had a better grasp of the story than the Americans. What I mean is:
1) Park Mu-Jin feels more thought out than Tom Kirkman. In this version, you just had a feeling that this guy should NOT be President. Which is not a bad thing, it’s a sign of good character development. Mu-Jin is a good man and extremely intelligent…but he’s clumsy, has severe anxiety, and has no political sense. Don’t get me wrong, Kiefer Sutherland was good, but I never really saw him as the helpless underdog (maybe it’s because I couldn’t see him as anything but Jack Bauer). In the Korean version, you just feel extremely sorry for this guy and that South Korea is screwed under his leadership.
2) The seamless transition to Korean politics. You just get a sense that the Korean team knew how to make their version of the show work. The move from discussing Muslim terrorism to North Korea/the Korean War doesn’t feel forced at all. While not necessarily an improvement on the original, it shows that the writers were thinking hard about how to handle the change in setting and politics.
(Side note: The fear that the Koreas are going to go to war is a LOT scarier than the turmoil in the original show, imo)
3) The slower pace led to better characterization, especially for Park Mu-Jin (see above).
