I have been trying all day to watch UF ep from yesterday. But every time I press play my interest runs away. I fell asleep 4 times just now trying to watch. And yet im watching Hamilton for the 4th time. After listening to the soundtrack all the way through at least 2 times today. Obsessed.

    So good. Loved being able to see the performances like Daveed Diggs.

      My mother: That man that played Thomas Jefferson, he’s quite talented.

      Me: He is, and the speed of his rapping as Lafayette is amazing.

      My mother: That’s the same person?

      Me: Points out all the actors with dual roles, and then as a bonus points out the Bullet.

      My mother: Oh, I like her hair.

      Anyways, she’s a convert, and isa, you just watch and listen to Hamilton all you want.

      Seeing it after listening to it for years, blew me away. The staging and choreography is genius.

        I had never even listened to it. I assumed Id go see ir if they came near me in a touring company and then just didnt think about it. I only watched it because the doc I normally watch wasnt available. Im glad it wasnt! I spent two hours convincing my hiphop head brother to give it a try. The only musical hes ever liked is The Wiz. Im like you may actually like this then!

        Same! Might watch the whole thing again this weekend just in case there’s something I missed.

          I turned off the captions during a second watch so I would focus on the actors and the stage instead of the words. The chorus dancers are so much more than just background, and the Bullet especially is integral to the storytelling. She is even placed higher in the line than Angelica when they take their bows at the end, which is really really interesting.

    Is UF uncontrollably fond?

      Unfamiliar Family. Its typically good. Are you watching? A family that really doesnt know each other–like at all–is fracturing. Is there anything there to save? Worth saving?

          Kim Woo Bin of the eyebrows? You are always welcome to talk about that tall drink of yummy with me.

          Im glad to hear ep 12 is better. i FINALLY finished ep 11. It took me over five attwmpts over the course of 2 days. Im still not sure what haopened other than Chan Pal Yis employee shot off at the mouth with Eun Hui and now instead of awkwardly crushing on each other Chan Pal Yi is all you cant call me Chan Pal Yi anymore because we arent friends! Outta my life forever! And I am sad.

            LOL!! Is Chan pal yi what EH has been calling him? I couldn’t figure it out. Not much progress yet for the two dumdums but the parents got some nice moments together.

          That is what she calls him and ai am so eternally bad with names in dramas–I think its because even though Ive been watching them for 5 years now the names are so far outside what I hear in day to day life that the names just dont stick in my head. So when something does stick I just keep it. Eun Hui calls Chan Hyuk (…?) Chan Pal Yi.
          I always feel so badly about my inability to learn characters names. But even dramas that Ive rewatched nth amount of times if I want to get down and really talk about it/analyze it I have to go to asianwiki or mdl and pull up the page so that I can constantly refer to it. Even when its an actor aim familiar with!
