This hit me personally very hard because I grew up without my parents affection and attention but my younger brother did.
It's not her fault for being born and her father made her pay for his choice.
I'm glad that she has Yi-An in her corner.
Please stop torturing me like that 😭
Why can't I be one of those people who wait for the whole season to drop!
This is so unfair!!! I knew that Disney is secretly evil!
Pardon me as I go off and watch some interviews of the #PerfectCrown cast
Day 21 Rewatch
I'm not a big fan of re-warching series or dramas. I do sometimes re-watch and episode if I was distracted by the subtitles or the drama unfolding before me and I missed some things while splitting my attention.
#ChinguChallenge
In each episode, the members must compete in a series of games and missions to win the race. As they fight to win prizes and avoid penalties, the members show their chemistry with each other and the celebrity guests that occasionally join
A "slow variety show" focusing on celebrities living in the countryside, growing their own food, and living simply.
Day 20 Reality show
Korean: Running Man aka 런닝맨 since 2010-
A classic that everyone heard off.

Sang Yan from The First Frost aka

Day 19 Comfort/ Therapy
I'm one of those people that do not have a drama for comfort or therapy. I'm more of a physical comfort kinda gal. So I'm changing it up and picking characters that I would want to be comforted by.
#ChinguChallenge
Lee Gon is the third Korean emperor of his generation. His citizens regard him as the perfect leader. But behind this flawless appearance, hides a deep wound. When he was eight years old, his father was murdered before his eyes following a coup. Today, instead of respecting his filial duty, he prefers to escape the palace to attend university conferences. During one of his escapades, he sees himself propelled into a parallel world where he meets Jeong Tae Eul, an inspector with whom he teams up with to defeat the criminals but also close the door between their two worlds.
Because of a lawsuit, fashion designer Zhou Fang meets Song Lin. They're mismatched from the start but forced to cooperate due to interdependence in their lives and work. Having two hard-headed people together is bound to result in conflicts but in the process of competing with each other, Zhou Fang and Song Lin's feelings evolve. Zhou Fang works hard to create a sophisticated brand while Song Lin—who prioritizes efficiency above all—pushes for a breakthrough in his career.
Okay I'm done now.

Day 14 Trope
I picked the mid-point kiss/ ep 8 kiss
My Demon aka 마이데몬 (2023)
Lovely Runner aka선재 업고 튀어 (2024)
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty aka 폭군의 셰프 (2025)
This used to be the thing that made me appreciate Kdramas over American series.
##ChinguChallenge #Kdrama #KissTrope
Yeah and just as @farnes.bsky.social mentioned the product placement is peak!
If you do watch parties it's great to have everyone pick a brand and see how many times you can spot it during the episodes.
This drama also reminded me how much I enjoy Seo KangJoon's acting
Ik wist dat het for mollen was en voor de lampen want dat had mijn opa mij uitgelegd toen wij die blik klaar maakten voor de mollen.
Fijn om iets nieuws te leren 😁
Wist echt niet hoe die gas heet, ben nooit ZO goed in chemie geweest 😊
I have such cool friends and I even don't know it!
We've known each other for years! He knows that I also like the actor and he never boasted about it! I always thought that his wife was the cooler of the pair but now the Corgi (his nickname cuz he uses custom corgi emoticons) is winning.
I just found out that my Korean penpal grew up with #ByeonWooSeok !!!
His wife got an autograph because she mentioned to her mother-in-law that she liked the actor.
Six Degrees of Separation are such a wild concept but as I live on I see it more and more
#PerfectCrown ep.4
I wouldn't be able to join the royal family as I love food too much 😆
No sushi for life? No cheeky streedfood?
Just ended now 😫
De Poolse tekst klopt maar de vertaling niet😅
Zou moeten staan: traditioneel afstootmiddel voor mollen
Ik spree Pools 😆 en de vertaling is hilarisch. De calciumcarbide creëert samen met water een gas die vroeger (of nog steeds) gebruikt werd tegen mollen.
Ze hebben letterlijk "tradycyjnie odstraszające krety" vertaald en niet nagelezen 😂😂😂
I present to you: the Dutch way to transport things.
The amount of odd looks that I got on my way home was hilarious. Poles mostly bicycle for recreation, not convenience like the dutch people do.
#Bicycle
I bake a lot so maybe I just got used to it 😆
Am I evil for loving to watch my baked goods rise in the oven? 🤔
I don't really watch anime but I watched the Apothecary Diaries with a friend for our "movie nights"
She doesn't really watch TV series but we agreed on exchanging our faves and we both liked each other pics
I was so pissed cuz I got a heavy migraine right as the episode dropped so I had to take medicine and lie down and watched the episode in sunglasses in the dark.
It was worth it!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Grand Prince Estate attendants (except the mole but she will turn around eventually).
I'm yapping and bothering one of my friends and I realised that it's because I'm hangry.
So I got a loaf of my favourite bread from #Codzienna and I'm going to have a brunch
