RL stresses me out. Partially because of a few health problems. And partially because parliamentary elections will be held in Poland on 15 October 2023. And I’m so scared that PIS is going to win again. Things are not great as it is in this country. Can you imagine how much worse can it get with four more years of PIS ruling unchallenged? I don’t even want to talk about the referendum, because it’s a farce.


Thankfully there are so many dramas to watch when I need cheering up. 😊

I finished watching ten available episodes of My Dearest. It was very good and very angsty. The second half (also with 10 episodes) will start airing on October 13th.


Minor spoilers with one fanvid rec behind the cut.I find it fascinating that for all intents and purposes Ryang Eum plays the role of a jealous second female lead that will stop at nothing to keep the male lead and the female lead apart. But he’s also this kind of character I really like, who wouldn’t care if the whole world burned as long as his beloved was safe and well.

Here have a rec:

Ryang Eum & Jang Hyun fanvid to the song sung by Ryang Eum in the drama - Kim Yoon Woo is really good at throwing sad, loving and longing looks at Nam Goong Min. 😊


Episode 8 of Dangerous Romance was cute, but kinda disappointing. Mainly it’s the script’s fault – it’s pretty weak, and it’s more and more obvious with each new episode. Also it’s surprisingly sexless. And I’m not saying that it needs NC scenes, or even more kissing, absolutely not. It’s just this – do I believe Kang and Sailom love each other? Yes. Do I believe that they desire each other? No, not really. I don’t know, I thought Perth and Chimon had great chemistry in the first half of the drama. But now that Kang and Sailon became boyfriends it kinda fizzled out.


In contrast to that Naughty Babe this week was whew... *fans self* I’m talking about the uncut version of the 6th episode on iQIYI. I want to make gifs, but not today, I’m too tired today.


And of course the highlight of my week was the 9th episode of Only Friends.


A lot of spoilers here.Mew’s moms are adorable, I love them. And I like that Top decided to be a bigger person and didn’t show Mew that vid of Sand and Ray’s kiss. I’m so glad Top and Mew’s relationship is getting slowly repaired.

And this is Boeing? I thought that he looked vaguely familiar, and yeah, I’ve seen him in the drama before – it’s Mond who played Gram in Not Me. He’s gorgeous here. And the way he looks – sexy nerd with glasses, heh, Top absolutely has a type. And based on the preview for the next ep – I’m sure Top didn’t sleep with him. It seems that maybe he just helps Top with his insomnia? Maybe he’s some sort of a therapist?

I still wish for a Mix cameo, though. 😊


I’m actually fine with Sand/Ray despite my earlier misgivings? I guess because Sand is going into it with his eyes open. And Ray did tell him that Mew knew about Ray and Sand’s thing. Which wasn’t true in the sense that Ray didn’t tell Mew about them and was lying to Sand in that moment, but it was sort of true because Mew could clearly see Ray’s infatuation with Sand and he guessed what was going on.

And yes, Ray did to Mew what Top did. Just Mew didn’t really care, and it didn’t hurt him as much, because he didn’t love Ray romantically. But that scene when Ray yells at Mew because Mew didn’t want to have sex with him was awful. Ray is so entitled here. And listen, I went on the whole journey with Ray, because I didn’t like him at all at first, and then Khao’s fantastic acting and his beautiful face made me soften a bit on Ray, and then these last two episodes kinda soured me on him again.

But I am glad Mew and Ray are still friends even after that whole mess. I needed a bit of fluff after all the angst.


But Nick is the winner of "the one who had the most fluffy scenes in one episode" award.

First that super cute Sand/Nick scene. It was so great, their giggling after the kiss was infectious. I laughed out loud. I love Team Second Option. :DDD

Then that surprisingly lovely scene with Dan at the bar. And then that touching scene with Boston. And I wasn’t sure if I wanted Nick/Boston as the endgame before, but now I do, I think? 😊
