Beanie level: Rooftop room dweller

We knew it was coming but I can’t express the horror that already the right to contraceptives, same sex intimacy, and same sex marriage is on the table to be overruled.

    Once this is in motion can they really promise that interracial marriage won’t be next?

Ikon, Winner, and Treasure reaction video to Still Life is sweet. Love that they did it on a big screen. Really well done.

Listening to the Vice podcast The Story of Tablo. On ep 3 and its really good. That whole conspiracy around his degree is still so wild.

The C drama The Oath of Love with Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan is finally available on Viki. I feel like a year at least that I\’ve been seeing on the coming soon list.

    I watched 3 eps but didn’t feel it. I’m tired of seeing ZT in a bratty silly borderline annoying girl role and XZ is better than I expected but still not believable as a doctor. I put it on pause for now.

When AKMU’s Next Episode came out I had come across a twitter statement saying that in S. Korea people were saying that Chan hyuk had GD disease.
I wasn’t exactly sure what was meant by this and now all this time later DKDK TV has done a video on it. It’s kind of fun to get a glimpse of what is viral or the pop culture moments in Korea sometimes.
This is such a good album too.

In Five Enough and hadn\’t quite warmed to the main couple. But the scene where the ML brings bikes to the FL so she can go for a night time bike ride with him to try and rid herself of her stress instead of drinking alone is very sweet. Also I like that the show has him supporting her through the after effects of a hard situation, not trying to save her from the situation.

Finished a binge of Reset and it was really fun. For the most part the narrative stayed tight and I wasn\’t spoiled so didn\’t know any of the twists and turns.
Another good Beanie rec.

Reset episode 8 was a ride. Wasn\’t expecting all of that.

    It was great. Unfortunately I was spoiled a little while watching a trailer. Beware of those while binge watching this amazing show.

When I read the What We\’re Watching post, I am always surprised at how many don\’t just drop shows.

    It’s so hard.
    Sometimes you think it can get better, sometimes you don’t like the story but you love a character/couple so you want to see what happens with them, sometimes you just invested too much time and energy so it feels unfair to dropped just like nothing… Etc. If I’m watching a bunch of shows is easier to drop one tho. Idk for other beanies, but those are my excuses. 😂

      That is all very true. I’ve definitely stuck with or ff through a drama to see a happy ending for an OTP.

I just saw Netflix in the US has Boss and Me. I remember how hard it seemed to find all the subbed eps when I watched it a few years ago.

Sharing because this just gave me a little boost of positivity.

This year writing up an end of year list for anything just seems like too much effort. I wasn\’t going to write up a best of music one, but these songs brought me such happiness I wanted to share them. Plus, I love reading the lists that Beanies have posted. It\’s always fun to see if there is a artist in  common, but a different song choice.
Not going to go too in depth or count them out, just a list of the 2021 one songs that kept me company. Apologies for the long ramble.

SHINee: Marry You, Don\’t Call Me, Area. 
SHINee was just a highlight. This CB was just the perfect dose of serotonin.

Taemin: Advice & Strings.
Advice was dramatic, catchy, and impeccable.  Perfect way for him to leave us before coming back to the next part of his career. Can not wait to see what he will do next.
Taemin and potentially SHINee being on a hiatus until he returns will leave a hole for sure. Maybe a certain Kwon Ji-yong will decide to help fill that void for me.

But there is always Key. His Hate That & Saturday Night have been staples recently.

Epik High: Rosario and Acceptance Speech

B.I: illa illa & Stay

AKMU: Nakka & Everest. 
This album is so great and know I\’ll be listening to it through 2022 and having new favorites from it.

2pm: Make It

D.O: I\’m Gonna Love You & Rose

Woodz: Waiting & Multiple

Lee Hi: Bye & Only
Her voice.

After seeing some spoilers I’m not ready to watch the drama, but these actors have a lovely chemistry together.

Just saw Betty White passed. That one hurts a little. As people are pointing out she had a long life, but lived it in a way that feels too short for the rest of us.

    She will be missed.

    Some solid ones include Mixed-Up Investigation Agency (Evasive Inquiry Agency), Fermentation Family, Mad Dog and The Untamed.

      No one here talks much about MIA. One of my top favourite.

        It’s such a wonderful show, but as far as I know it’s never been legally available to watch anywhere – if it were, I think more folks would discover it.

    Park Hye-run’s dramas tend to have this – Pinocchio, While You Were Sleeping, etc.

    I love Yoona’s Street, and Fermentation Family is in my good book.

    Bad Family in 2006 is a great addition to this list – so funny and heartwarming: https://mydramalist.com/545-bad-family

Finally watched the first ep of You Are My Sprimg.
I knew about the serial killer, but still wasn\’t expecting it to be that creepy. Going to keep watching though, just not in the middle of the night
