summary: divorced and cast-out woman gets her life saved by another cast-out who is murdered and who she then pretends to be. goes on an insanely epic revenge arc
her dedication. her passion. her skill. her talent. for revenge. absolutely entranced like that's a woman without equal. literally she is so competent at revenge that's really what gets me

summary: woman reads new novel novel is shit she gets transported into world of novel beats novel by agressively making friends
due to a plethora of reasons that may or may not have something to do with how i grew up and my current mental health problems. i find it really cool when people just get fucking shit done and ling miao miao really is the queen of getting shit done fuck getting transported into the world of a shitty novel and facing almost certain death, someone has to fix it and she is the someone so she just fucking does it. need the guy who hates her fall in love with her? no problem she uses the age old technique of 'being friends'. i really lost to the plot in the last few episodes though like what's this fucking tower
summary: sometimes you are an awesome warrior but then you get unexpectedly fatally poisoned and have to seduce this guy. also a cautionary tale against forming parasocial bonds. most importantly most of it happens in an abyss and very much not in the titular clouds (this is not a bad thing just false advertising)
chomp . no sorry i can't marry you im doing a bit with this guy it's starting to get really funny. he really has this intense parasocial thing for her and she's just like uh can you get out of my house please. i gotta do a bit with this guy. wait. the bit is not that funny anymore wait hold on it's not funny at all stop stop also this parasocial guy is really starting to get on my nerves can someone please make him shut up. can someone please take one for the team and kill him please for god fucking sake just bash him on the head with a baseball bat.

summary: fan changyu. can knock out a pig. with. a. SINGLE. SLAP.
took a chlonazepam, absolutely murdering a pirulo. life's good. ← also turns out this is actually the only way to watch this show. pop a chlonazepam. it made me less crazy.
yes go girl war crime relativisation!!! true love is when you jump your ex together. actually she can excuse whatever war crimes. supernatural-esque suicide competition. also i had to stop watching this because it made me too crazy
first of all. this show has me googling finance terms i am not amused. this is how i learned about the time the taiwanese army massacred 24 viatnamese refugees because i love clicking on links on wikipedia. second of all. the last bus from a train station at 21:30??? you gotta be shitting me you should call your local governement this should not happen
summary: it says ski but it's about snowboarding. they say skiing all the time but they always mean snowboarding. also it is about how it is ok to be crazy when you are cute and really good at something too
"dangerous stunts do not attempt" over footage of some people snowboarding and skiing. but actually they're correct i once broke my leg while skiing. mhm and then we can discuss absolute real danger of professional alpine skiing (you have one (semi) professional skiier usually die each season, and several severe injuries). and the insane amount of people who got quite seriously injured at the olympics in italy over all downhill sports . anyways . wait not anyways he did big air?? my obsession with winter sports is going to come in handy?? although im more of a classical guy tbh wait . so my previous discussion of injuries in alpine sport were correct NO FoR THE FOGGING YOU NEED TO SPIT ON THEM SPIT ON THEM . i wonder why they never show this on tv . anyways chong looking at her like. there's so many things wrong with her
no. tortured genius are stupid and annoying. and the music's not that good and literally any other character is more interesting than this fucking guy. why couldn't it be about the female drummer instead of her being a fucking audience stand-in. no. im not finishing this im sorry guitar man. and i should be into it! i love music i love the legendary i love concerts i love the trandescendence but oh god can we please get over lone tortured genius
the real question is. why did we continue making tv after this? it's. taking she's the man and just shoveling stuff onto it until there is glorious and gay mountain of stupid wonderful 2000s shenanigans. also an insane amount of cross-dressing to the point where she. who is cross-dressing 24/7 is forced to comment. why the fuck is everyone so into cross-dressing here. and you know what. they're right. (do not take this as a condemnation of she's the man i love her so much)
you go in, fun romcom stuff, then HIDDEN-BLADE ASSASSINATION FROM A BUSH. actually this about a woman's childhood trauma to the point she presents a different personality. one question though: i get that he doesn't carry her off to a&e as soon as he realises but mate he knows a psychiatrist personally he should have called him up and just ask. hey i know someone who is presenting a different personality but i can't get them to a&e what do i do. just saying
i call this the show with the 'wait a second. stop. gimme a minute' guy because he spends the entire show having life changing experiences or recovering from having life changing experiences
to ignore everything this is really about, kang si-yeol and the story of 'thames fc' becomes increasingly funny because he is clearly based on the south korean player son heung-min who used to play for tottenham hotspur fc (from london (on the thames)). tottenham, long famous for being an absolute cluster fuck of a club (see e.g. the adjective 'spursy' or the label 'dr. tottenham' - when another club is having a bad run, and their next game is tottenham, they get a visit from dr. tottenham, and win the game to get out of their rut), is now in actual danger of relegation. not tbecause of bad finance just because of shitty football. life imitates art etc
man really grows on you after like. 12 continous hours of watching huh. the only real case of stockholm syndrom ever is me watching this show and earnestly rooting for him by the end
hihihihihihi i love this show so much !!!! also everyone is so competent and good at their job but mainly i love this show so much!!! oh han-byul running away screaming after getting kissed by her crush is one of my favourite ever tv moments
look it is actually really interesting to bring up one of the most central question of especially modern life, "for what are you working for", in the context of characters that are working in one of the most fundamentally capitalist fields, home shopping, which is essentially consumerism as entertainment. interested in what comes out of this. also going against the grain with her not relocating to the country to slow down and recuperate because she is clearly not doing well at all but instead she is doubling down on all of the things that are making her life near-unlivable, scratching her trauma, and full on-course to an insane breakdown by going to the country. respect
summary: nun-in-training who was raised in a convent needs to pretend to be her twin brother real quick (failed plastic sugery where his eye is stuck open) to take his place in a boyband. shenanigans, of course, ensue
explaining to a nun-in-training who was raised in a convent what gay fanfiction about real people is. perfect depiction of catholic guilt too you just have to suggest she is connected in any, tenuous way to a situation and she immediately feels responsible for it and guilty about it. this woman is amazing. also the straightest women-pretends-to-be-a-guy story ever conceived it's like ac/dc levels of non-sexuality here. man (angus young) reguarly strips in front of tens of thousands of other men and yet the event is so incredibly sexless it is genuinely astounding. not even a criticism every time im like man that guy really has no personality other than guitar
summary: two gay police guys go around telling people they will charge and prosecute them and even if i don't actually know how the thai criminal justice system works i am pretty sure the police do not do that. the prosecuters do that. i don't understand what's going on and not in a fun way
i opened netflix and for some reason all my shows were gone? why france? anyways so i clicked on this and truth be told. you should take a nap at work this is also my work philosophy i have taken so many naps at work already and they're like proper 50 min naps . i had a time when i was on meds that had me take a nap beneath my desk at 11 every morning. obviously he works at home. so he can take a nap at work
i lived for 7 years in england and this the singular best representation of british culture i have ever come across. also s2e6 'pool show' is one of the singular best episodes of television ever but unfortunately i am the only one who has that opinion
summary: if you are sitting while working you might as well just hold a gun to your head
look this is not a fever dream because this was clearly carefully scripted
the only things i remember is the good times i had with my friend (we used to live together) watching this and also they stopped playing lacrosse halfway through :(
really mastered just like. everything. no notes. THIS ACCUSED MURDERER IS BISEXUAL
