Highlight trailer for just-premiered kdrama "A good day to be a dog"

I haven't checked out this one yet, except for peeking at Show's first minute, and this already feels like a potentially fun show.

If you've already checked out the first couple of episodes, do share how you like it so far!

Also, I know that aside from the first 2 eps, subsequent episodes will be released singly, ie, there's only 1 episode released per week. Would you still be interested in having me cover this here on Patreon, on a similar schedule? Coz I'm toying with the idea.<...

Subbed trailer for upcoming kdrama "My Demon"

I hafta be honest; I don't know how I feel about this one. 😅

I mean, yes it's a rom-com, and yes, it's a contract marriage set-up, which I do tend to like, but.. I haven't yet enjoyed Kim Yoo Jung nor Song Kang in a romantic role yet, so I'm approaching with caution. 😅

Another Mini Update + Announcement

Hi everyone!

Today, I wanted to let you all know a few things:

1. I'm doing better

As in, I'm feeling better than last week, even though progress is, as I mentioned last week, measured.

Happily, I now feel better able to mentally process the dramas on my screen, and I find myself able to sit up at my laptop for slightly longer periods of time versus last week, so.. I'm kinda planning to ease back into writing episode notes.

Mini update + today's Entertainment Drop

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know that I'm improving and feeling better, day by day. Progress is, well, measured, as I am not yet at my normal capacity for anything, whether that's sitting up at my laptop, or eating normal portions.

I'm slowly getting off painkillers, because I'm running out of what the hospital gave me, but also, the pain is getting to more manageable levels, so that I don't have to be dependent on painkillers.

I'm feeling well enough to watch ...

I've been discharged

Hi everyone,

Another quick note, just to say that the doc cleared me for discharge today, and now I'm finally home, yay!

I'm on oral painkillers and am moving around slowly (the surgery wound is on my abdomen) and wearing a binder and basically under instructions to move at half speed and not pick up anything over 2kg (4.4lb). But also, that I should move as much as I feel comfortable doing, as that will aid recovery. 

Unpacking from the hospital was very good that way,...

He's soooo endearing, that I couldn't help but go, "Bong Seokkkieee" as I watched him charm the judges, in spite of his subpar dancing and singing skills. 

Look for the part where Rain can't help but be charmed. It's adorable. 😍
