Fan of international TV drama 📺 #supernatural #historical #romance #cosy 🎭 Watching from Britain
There are so many good K-dramas that I sometimes forget which ones I've watched. They all roll into one excellent bundle. I've suddenly remembered "Can This Love Be Translated?" It was really good. The hero's smile popped into my head before anything else.
I'm on episode one of a French drama called Sea Shadows. A missing trawler Mysterious lights under the water An oceanographer with family relationship problems
Had the chance to read a bit more of The Stones of Britain by Jon Cannon. He had a real gift. Cannon’s explanation of sedimentary rocks communicates how exciting they are. I first heard of sedimentary rocks when I was a teen, but they were NEVER made to sound thrilling.
I’m waiting for this to be delivered. There are only so many Joseon-era dramas you can watch before you want to know more. I don’t know whether I’ll find it readable (i.e. to my taste). I’m looking forward to finding out.
My Love from the Star is about an alien who has been stranded in Korea for 400 years. I really enjoyed this show. It’s basically a romance with a science fiction twist. The flashbacks to the alien’s life in Joseon-era Korea were just lovely.
Bulgasal is another K-drama with a reincarnation theme. The incredibly handsome and stoic lead appears to be a monster. But is he? I enjoyed Bulgasal but found it a little dark at times.
I recently finished My Royal Nemesis, a #KDrama with a reincarnation and time travel theme. It reminded me of Alice (2020). I couldn’t even begin to explain the plot of Alice. It’s twisty and kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.
The Toho/Netflix Human Vapor show rules. Shifts between a slick post-Abe assassination political thriller and a gnarly dark fairy tale. Uta Uchida is amazing.
I’m watching the #KDrama The East Palace, and the FL is so beautiful! Her name is Roh Yeon Seo, and apparently she’ll also be in All of Us Are Dead S2 (whenever it comes out—I also might be dead by then).
Have you see “Murder in a Small Town”? It’s cosy and comforting.
I watched the first episode and a half of “The East Palace,” a supernatural K-drama set in the Joseon era. A man who can see spirits is taken to the King’s palace to deal with a spirit. The supernatural details tie in with Korean folklore. This makes the show quite fascinating and spooky!
I've just started watching The East Palace, a K-drama on Netflix. It opens with the royal palace in the mud and the rain. The camera angles and lighting give the scenes an air of realism. I feel as if I could be there, back in Joseon.
Watching the K-drama My Royal Nemesis got me thinking about Joseon history. (Joseon is the old name for Korea.) This journal is open access! I don't have time to look at this at the moment, so I'm bookmarking it for future reference.

I’m very impressed that Bruce Willis’s character managed to swim in a river while holding two shotgun cartridges between his teeth.
I’m watching Striking Distance. There’s a certain type of 1980s/1990s movie that’s highly watchable because it’s completely lacking in nuance and subtleties. I’ve never seen Striking Distance, so I don’t know if it’s one of them.
If you want a big spectacular book-adaptation American movie about a reluctant clever hero on an impossible journey through weird places (which I do), Project Hail Mary is great.
Finished finally! My Royal Nemesis is a lovely series. I enjoyed every minute of it.
I’m watching the last 40 minutes of My Royal Nemesis. I feel as if I am being put through a wringer. K-drama really knows how to pull at your heart strings.
We really enjoyed this movie, Ryan is a very likeable actor Rocky awesome too 😍
