Exchanges and other good things

Again I feel like the luckiest recipient ever. Because I got two wonderful fics for my two small fandoms in RMSE. Seriously, they are great and I already re-read both of them.


A Preview of Coming Attraction (4185 words)
Fandom: 김과장 | Good Manager (TV)
Rating: Mature
Relationships: Kim Sung Ryong/Seo Yool
Additional Tags: Enemies to Allies To Lovers, episode 15, Time Travel, Comfort, First time (for one of them), Car Sex, Treat
Summary: “There’s no buses here! No cabs either! You can’t just leave me, you jerk!” Kim Sungryong screamed at Seo Yul’s tail lights as they faded into the night. “Take me with you!”


i wear your ring (3546 words)
Fandom: HIStory3 - 那一天 | HIStory3: Make Our Days Count (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Relationships: Lu Zhigang/Sun Boxiang
Additional Tags: University era, Long-Distance Relationship, Idiots in Love, Missing Scenes, Filling in the Time Jump
Summary: Zhi Gang prides himself on having a reasonably advanced awareness of the workings of his own mind. He realized very early into their relationship that the reason he constantly highlights Bo Xiang’s being younger than him is precisely that Zhi Gang is meant to be the adult. The one with experience, the one with a solid head on his shoulders, thinking with something beyond his heart and the passion that exists between his thighs.

The problem's always been that, at least where Bo Xiang is concerned, Zhi Gang’s little more than a teenager himself.

He's never cared for anyone this much, never desired anyone this much, and it would be terrifying if Bo Xiang didn't seem to make it his entire life's purpose to make sure Zhi Gang knows he feels exactly the same, all the time.



Other good things are mostly connected to Korean dramas.

Here on youtube is a discussion of episodes 1-5 of Vincenzo with Korean-American screenwriter Christina Strain. It’s 2 hours long, but very interesting. Also Christina Strain clearly loves Taecyeon and Jang Han Seok, so she’s my kind of person. :)

I’m also really glad that falling in love with Taecyeon in Vincenzo lead me to falling in love with 2PM. I watch so many vids (official vids, vids from concerts, BTS stuff) these days. They always cheer me up. Taecyeon is my favorite, of course, but all members seem like sweet and nice guys. And they are such good friends.



I finished Arthdal Chronicles a few days ago, but I can’t stop thinking about it, because I really loved it. And I’ve re-watched my favorite episode 15 twice already. I wish COVID didn’t mess with making of season 2. For now it’s still announced that there will be the 2nd season, but nobody knows when it will start filming. And Song Joong Ki films another new drama right now.

But I have a rec – a fantastic gen fanvid by TheMeaninglessArt, full of spoilers of course:

Arth, The Prelude to All Legends - Let Me Be Your Hero



After I finished Arthdal Chronicles I watched the 1st episode of Tale of the Nine Tailed. It was a bit boring and I admit that I don’t like Lee Dong Wook much. Maybe I’ll come back to it later, but for now I decided to try The Devil Judge. And that one was more successful in keeping my attention. I like stories about dystopias and it has Kim Min Jung (whom I loved in Mr. Sunshine) as one of the female leads. She’s great here, too. And I like Ji Sung as the titular character. He’s very pretty and charismatic. And it’s very slashy, straight from the first episode. So that’s what I’ll be watching for now.

Apart from that I’m waiting for the 2nd season of Hospital Playlist to appear on Netflix here, and for Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha - a new drama with Kim Seon Ho and his adorable dimples. :) I saw a few teasers and it looks so cute and heart-warming. Here is the latest one.

I’m also waiting for D.P. – a new drama with Jung Hae In about a soldier who gets assigned to the Deserter Pursuit unit. All I’ve read about it made it sound like a serious drama, but this official teaser makes it look more like a comedy to me? It’s a bit weird but still I want to check it out for Jung Hae In and his cute, sunny smile. :)
