Yuletide and drama watching

Yuletide is very generous for me. I got two lovely fics for Meet You At The Blossom and The Time of Fever (details below). And as of today all my recipients commented on the fics I posted. And a few other people commented, too. Yay! And there is a lot of fics for me to read, really a lot. I already left many comments, because almost every fic I started was ranging from good to excellent for me. And I still have so many tabs open.

Summary: Ho Tae has been smacked around by angry girlfriends dozens of times and barely felt a thing. He’s taken handbag bruises and cuts—and acquired dozens of tattoos, too—all the while believing he has an unnaturally thick skin. His nerves are permanently deadened after so much swim training at school, he’s reasoned, or his father’s passing severed something crucial in his heart, rendering him numb. But Dong Hee’s punch—which is serious, yes, but doesn’t have much force behind it—lands like a blazing meteor smashing through Ho Tae’s chest.


Drama watching goes well, too. I watched a few more episodes of Fangs of Fortune – still beautiful to watch, still very entertaining and still making me too emotional. 😊

I watched the 1st episode of Thai GL drama Petrichor. It’s a crime drama, and the main romance is between a police officer and a forensic scientist. I liked it, and I will definitely watch more.

I watched four more episodes of Under the Skin 2. I still love it, but I have to take long breaks between each episode since it’s so depressing to watch for me.

Luckily I have something cute and funny to watch to cheer myself up in between watching all those other dramas that make me cry. It’s Rented in Finland. It continues to be a reliable source of amusement and cuteness for me. After watching the 2nd episode I had only one question – what would they do without Kwak Dong Yeon? 😉 The other three are such city boys who can’t handle living in wilderness. Lee Je Hoon tried for 15 minutes to light a fire in episode 2 and he couldn’t do it. Heh... Lee Je Hoon also can’t cook, like at all. He was trying to make scrambled eggs in episode 3, and it was one of the funniest things I’ve seen lately. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. As for Kwak Dong Yeon - he can cook very well, and knows how to start a fire in seconds, and he’s such a meticulous planner, always prepared for everything. And he is a loner, often trying to find a bit of time to be alone. I love him. ♥

Oh, and I started A Virtuous Business on Netflix, and I’m very glad I did. It’s a Kdrama about four women who started selling adult products door-to-door in a rural village in 1992. I watched four episodes for now and I like it so much. It’s such a lovely, touching drama about a female friendship, and about these four wonderful women being awesome and always supportive of each other. It makes my heart all warm when I watch it. 😊
