Anne: Hoping everybody has a peaceable begin to a model new 12 months, though the altering of the Chinese language zodiac will not happen till February tenth…so thrilling! I’ve spent most of my few days off doing heaps and plenty a crafts and catching up on what I can with the dramas that appear to be dropping into the streaming platforms left and proper. Bear in mind the “greenhouse” I used to be engaged on within the earlier submit, this is the completed product.
I oriented the ground base incorrectly, however I already glued all of the stuff…so the ground was pressured on and the roof is totally off…however you possibly can’t actually inform till you take a look at it intently. And my “delight” on this little greenhouse is the LIGHT! It really works!!! I needed to wire the sunshine bulb to a battery…tiny, tiny little wires. And my subsequent undertaking is a mini block backyard with a waterfall and pretend mountains…over 7000 items…I am solely about 1/3 of the way in which by way of after 4 days.
Regardless of all these crafting, I additionally managed to squeeze in some exhibits in between.
Gyeongseong Creature
I caught this when it popped up on my NetFlix reel, since my algorithm is all Asian dramas on this factor now. Not like the opposite Korean dramas, all ten episodes will likely be fully dropped by January fifth. That is alongside the strains of Kingdom, the place it is a interval setting with supernatural parts. This story is about Jan Tae Sang, a really rich and self-made man in Gyeongseong, the place he owns a highly regarded pawn store known as Home of Golden Treasure. (It’s a little weird that the “vault” has home windows…appears to defeat the aim.) He’s a person of connections in a metropolis that’s nonetheless underneath Japanese occupation. And what occurs when he’s activity to discover a lacking girl, and collaboration with Yoon Chae Okay. The title tells all of it, it’s a “monster” story that jogs my memory of Resident Evil (which I LOVED…all the set of films, even the not so good ones…), and you will notice why.
The story begins with the motion of a Japanese army group from one metropolis to Gyeongseong. As they pulled out of the constructing they had been occupying, the viewers sees the big take a look at tubes, every holding a worm-like creature in a transparent liquid. Then it flashes to Gyeongseong, the place we’re launched to Jang Tae Sang, performed by my favourite dominating CEO of ALL time (Secretary Kim), Park Website positioning Joon and the way he ended up on the mistaken finish of the city’s ruling army commander. He’s tasked with discovering this commander’s lacking mistress, and his failure to finish the duty is the forfeiture of all his private belongings and his freedom. So he has a really robust incentive to verify he would not fail.
Into this city, comes Yoon Chae Okay and her father, who’re specialists at discovering lacking folks, and have been on the monitor to seek out her lacking mom, for the final 10 years. Let’s simply say Yoon Chae Okay is not impressed with Jang Tae Sang and solely agreed to work with him in an change of data. He would assist with them on any data he has for her mom, and in flip, they might assist him find the lacking mistress.
And this leads us to the army hospital on the town, the place a whole lot of the city’s lacking ladies have ended up…and appears just like the “mom” has been with this Japanese army group since she’s gone lacking. Then there’s Kwon Joon Taek, Jang Tae Sang’s greatest pal, who can be the opposite playboy on the town, who’s secretly funding the Korean resistance to the Japanese occupation and has some romantic ties with the lacking mistress (in truth, the “tie” is moderately a bit free since he was only a buyer of her till she dedicated herself to the commander). However, Kwon Joon Taek is performed by my favourite loopy detective’s alter ego, Wi Ha Joon.
To this point, I actually prefer it. This is hoping that this does not go the way in which of Kingdom, the place I am nonetheless ready season 3. When you like interval dramas with the Resident Evil plot line, combating human-morphed monsters, it is a should watch.
Particular Girl
This one is on the sunshine aspect of the dramaland plots. It is billed as a romantic comedy between Music Zhu (the FL) and Xian Yu (the ML). Music Zhu is the black sheep of the Music household, and she or he possesses not one iota of her household’s scholarly genes. She simply needs to marry the well-known artist, Zhou Ji.
There’s a custom when the #1 scholar returns to city, which is {that a} household can “kidnap” this man to marry their daughter. So…in an effort to avoid wasting her “second elder brother”, Music Yan, Music Zhu helps him escape and took his “#1 scholar robes” and put them onto the unfortunate Xiao Yu, who simply occurs to be on the mistaken place on the mistaken time.
This begins each of them on the mistaken foot. And to high all of it off, Music Zhu finds out that Xiao Yu is her supposed husband, a betrothal that her father organized when she was 3 years outdated with the son of his greatest pal. In fact, neither of them needs to marry the opposite, and to this point it is fairly cute. Though I am a bit of hesitant about sitting by way of 36 episodes. However….let’s have a look at what occurs, I can at all times FF.
That is it for this week. I additionally began The Forensic Examiner Music Ci, however have not actually fully gotten into it, will get to it subsequent week. I am additionally persevering with Connoisseur Affairs, the Taiwanese drama concerning the cop and killer eating buddy. It does remind me a whole lot of Let’s Eat, with against the law twist. In episode 5, the killer realized that his eating buddy is a cop. Let’s examine the place this goes.
Hope everybody has an excellent begin of a model new 12 months. I hope I do not drown in paperwork…and my purpose this 12 months is to not less than win one main argument with QA…hahaha…
