Writing, dramas, and depressing RL stuff

[maggie33]

Depressing RL stuff under the cut here.

November sucks. At least for now. My sister will have another operation on Tuesday. It’s a planned operation, nothing urgent, and hopefully it will be the last one, and she won’t need another operation in the future. But still I can’t help but be worried.

And you know, the weather here is also depressing. It’s dark, often rainy, and gloomy. I don’t like this November at all, ugh...

Fandom is a good distraction thankfully. There are always dramas to watch, and fics to read, and fics to write, too. My Yuletide assignment has 1400 written already, but that’s only one-fourth of it, considering that my estimate for the whole fic is around 6000 words.

And of course, since I should be writing my Yuletide fic, yesterday I wrote 900 words of a new Big Dragon PWP instead. Brain, why are you like this? 😊


Family by Choice episodes 9-10

I still like it a lot, and these episodes benefited from not having a lot of San Ha’s horrible mother in it. I do have a few complaints, but fluffy family feels make up for all the disappointing things in spades.

Spoilers here.

Because really San Ha couldn’t find even a one day during those ten years to come from Seoul and meet with Ju Won in person? I get why Hae Jun never did, he was in USA, so it would be much harder for him to do.

And I’m absolutely 100% on Ju Won’s side when it comes to her being hurt and feeling abandoned by both boys after they left. But at the same time – even if San Ha couldn’t come from Seoul for whatever reason, couldn’t she try to go and see him there even once?

I mean, ok, they did try to explain and justify why San Ha and Hae Jun behaved like that during that time, but they didn’t really do a good job with it IMO. And it felt more like it was just drama for drama’s sake.

But of course there was a lot of good, touching and funny things, too. Like my favorite fatherly relationship in this drama between Hae Jun and Dad Yun. Seriously almost every conversation they have makes me teary-eyed. Because you can clearly see deep love between them and worry about the other person, and trying not to burden the other person with your problems.

And of course Dad Yun and Dad Kim behaving like an old married couple is the best thing. They kept a joint savings book, aww... They bicker and support each other, and understand each other so well. I ship them hard, and I even already have one tiny plot bunny. There might be a fic later after the whole drama aired.

My Damn Business episode 6

Can I just repeat that I love this cute little drama? Why is there only one episode left?

Spoilers here, too.

A guy from Su An’s past appeared, and poor Woo Jin was so jealous. It was hilarious. But it was also so lovely and sweet. Aww, those hand kisses... I love these two so much and I want the happiest ending for them the next week.

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

I started it as the next drama in my quest to watch more things with Lee Joon Gi. I watched the first two episodes, and it’s ok, nothing special for now, but entertaining enough that I want to watch more.

Joon Gi is of course very beautiful and his character is again such a woobie, even if this time he certainly did a few bad things. But surprisingly (or maybe not, considering my usual preference for villains 😊) I’m more enamored with Hong Jong Hyun as the main villain the 3rd Prince Yo. That cruel smirk, those pretty eyes made even prettier by very visible eyeliner (which is totally a kdrama way of saying ‘beware, he’s evil’ 😉)... I only saw Hong Jong Hyun in The King Loves before, and he was a good guy there. But he is a very beautiful and captivating villain. I’m in, especially since that drama’s ending is kinda famous, but I know it since I like spoilers, so I won’t be blindsided by it. 😊

Thank you. ♥

I'm sorry to hear about your sister but of course hope all goes well. *squishes you* ♥

I think it's very common for your brain to start throwing ideas for other things at you the moment you try to work on exchange fic!

♥ ♥ ♥

And that is true about our brains being contrary and stubborn things. I mean, I'm grateful to be writing, writer's block is worse, but still I really would prefer to be writing a fic I planned to write. :D

I hope the rest of November will have plenty of good stuff!

Thank you. ♥ And I really hope so, too.

Yes! Seriously, they were so lovely together, I kind of cared about their relationship more than Sanha and Juwon's. ;-)

(And in a way, it made me "noooo" at the parents getting together at the end, because I was like, "I don't want even a hint that Dad Yun cared about Hae Jun more because of his feelings for Hae Jun's mum. Like, I really really really want their father-son love to be pure and just the two of them!! *pouts*)

Heh, me too. I liked San Ha and Ju Won together, they were a lovely couple. But Hae Jun and Dad Yun hit me deep in the heart and made me cry so many times. :)
