Kdramas and fanfic writing

[maggie33]

I feel much better now, but of course mom caught my intestinal flu. It was very bad for a while, I even had to call an ambulance one night, but a hospital stay was not necessary, fortunately. Mom feels better now, too. And I really, really hope that’s it for illnesses in this family for a long while. *hopeful sigh*


Kdramas

I finished The Wonderfools. It was pretty good and funny, and touching with its found family and friendship above all feels, even if surprisingly dark sometimes. And Park Eun Bin was fantastic.

I also finished Absolute Value of Romance. It was fine, I guess. At least they didn’t do what I was afraid of.

A few spoilers here.

But they absolutely suggest that our BL writing heroine will get together with her teacher sometime in the future. Even if now he clearly doesn’t have any romantic feelings for her. But their relationship had all those standard kdrama romances tropes – a meaningful childhood connection and a piggyback ride to the hospital amongst them.

And of course nobody was confirmed to be gay. Which was, sadly, what I expected.

And my beloved Namgoong Min has a new drama called The Husband coming up in July. But unfortunately it doesn’t sound like something I would like. I’m still going to watch at least one or two episodes. Who knows I might be pleasantly surprised and will end up liking it.

Now I’m on the lookout for a new kdrama to watch. I haven’t got much luck with new kdramas lately. I tried half an episode of The Scarecrow, Reborn Rookie and Love Class 3, and I watched the whole first episode of Filing For Love. And I found them all very boring. Maybe Husbands in Action, which starts airing on June 19 on Netflix, will be more to my taste. The trailer makes it look very comedic and actiony, which is exactly what I like to watch currently.

Fanfic writing

I think I got my writing mojo back, yay. Because today I finished my first Dare You to Death fic, which I started writing in February. I feel so accomplished. 😊 It will be the first one in the series of three smutty fics. The second one was already half-done in March. And I feel such a delightful, fresh surge of inspiration right now, that I think it might be done the next week. Yay!

I also have Husbands in Action on my to-watch list. Now to find the time...

Very best of wishes for your family! May you all be well for AGES!

I know what you mean about the suggestive tropes in AVoR. I'm telling myself, though, that for him, the value of the relationship was that meeting her as a kid prompted him to turn to teaching, and that as a fledgling teacher, she challenged him and made him evaluate his approach. And for her, he was her romantic awakening -- it really doesn't have to be more than that! (I super want Ga Woo-su/Yoon Dong-ju fic set after Yoon Dong-ju read the web novel. Dong-ju *needs* to find out that Woo-su already knew about it, and that he'd been insisting on a leading role in it!! If I sign up for Yuletide this year, that's going in my requests, if I don't write it first (or even if I do). ;-D)

I can't tell if Husbands in Action is a movie or a series, but it looks fun!

Having to call an ambulance is always terrible. *HUGS* I wish you will all be healthy from now on. <3<3<3

Yay for the writing mojo coming back! It's always so unpredictable, but when it happens, it's great! \o/
