1. Oddest group of people to band together, but I’m not complaining lmao.
2. I have A LOT of mixed feelings about this drama (down to the chosen English title). However, I cannot deny the star power or the great acting chops said stars bring to the table. I just hope it’s not painfully racist - a huge hurdle for a drama exploring this subject or location, I sadly have to say.
3. They both look so good, my bisexuality is thriving. I desperately need this to be good. My physical and mental well-being depends on it.
4. Booked and busy, good for him! Now I just need news about Bloody Romance. A release date, script reading, promotional shots, anything. We’re starving out here.
5. All the hype. I once again apologize for the person I will become once this is released. Whether in a good or bad way is yet to be known.
6. Seung-gi may be cute, but Lee Se-young is like the prettiest woman in the world. Seriously, I have been OBSESSED with every still they drop of her. How is she real?

Speaking my mind with point #3. This bisexual desperately needs a win. And the stills look so good. 😭

I wonder why non-koreans like kvariety shows? They seem so scripted, which makes them a tool for the worst part of the industry. A way to sell a fake persona of these individuals. If I like an actor I hope they don't have to perform in these shows, it is like an animal doing tricks in a circus.

I like 2 Days 1 Night because you get to see a lot of Korean towns, crafts, and foods. The games and ridiculousness are just a bit of a bonus as I love silly humor!
