Weekly update + announcements

Hi everyone!

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR, YOU GUYS!! ❤️

1. My New Year

As Elaine has shared on the Water Cooler, the Reunion Dinner on the eve of the first day of the Lunar New Year is a Big Deal for most families, and this year, my sister ordered this dish, called 盆菜 (pén cài) for us.

It's a festive dish that literally translates as Basin Dish, and t...

Early Access: Doctor Slump E1-2

E1-2. You guys. I approached this one with a bit of caution, since reactions have been kinda mixed, with some folks finding this one kinda meh, while others are loving it right away.

Two episodes in, I'm happy to report that this one is working for me, right out of the gate - and very well too. 🤩

I am really digging this premise, and I am also really digging the Park-Park pairing...

Subbed vlog: Sooyoung in her first play!

I do find Sooyoung very likable and relatable, and it's great to see her do well in her first play.

It's also really great to know that that Girls' Generation ladies are still so supportive of one another. 🥲

Jung Hae In for Bazaar Korea

It feels like it's been a long while since I've had Jung Hae In on my screen (which means I haven't taken a look at DP2 yet 😅), so it was nice to see him talking to and posing for Bazaar Korea, in this video.

Sometimes the hair gets a little messy, like in the interview segment, but he's still cute. 😁

Please enjoy.

Park Hyung Sik and Park Shin Hye for Elle Korea

Trailer for upcoming kdrama "The Impossible Heir"

Heh. I guess "impossible" is the new hot word in drama titles? 😅

Well, this looks and sounds pretty promising? At least, I feel like the premise is kinda fresh, and a different sort of slant, on the typical revenge premise.

Highlights video of upcoming kdrama "Branding in Seongsu"

If you're in the mood for body-swapping rom-com hijinks, this show promises to serve up exactly that.

I'm somehow not taking to the vibe of the trailers, but who knows, really, coz I hadn't taken to any of the trailers for Marry My Husband, and yet, I'm really enjoying the show now. 😅

New subbed trailer for upcoming kdrama "A Killer Paradox"

I feel like I'm drawn to this, in an.. MTV kinda way? Like, I feel like I could get into a music video of this premise, but I don't know if I could stomach a whole series. But then again, it IS just 8 eps, plus, it's Choi Woo Sik and Son Seok Koo! 🤩

Show will be 8 eps, and will drop on Netflix, on 9 Feb 2024.

Group Watch: I Know I Love You E17-20

E17-20. The road to a happy ending sure isn't smooth, and so, this set of episodes is still not the most enjoyable ones we've had in our story.

However, what I like about it, is, our OTP demonstrates the healthier way to tackle all the rather extreme situations that come their way - thanks in no small part to Delusional Yu'an - even while they're still imperfect people themselves.

Eric Nam being a chaotic house guest 🤭

This isn't quite entertainment related - but it does feature Eric Nam, so I guess it still kinda counts?

I follow Inga Lam on YouTube, and love her relaxing food videos a great deal.

..Cue Eric Nam as a house guest, and all of Inga's usually relaxing video style is out the window, with his propensity for casual chaos. 😁

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, and I hope you guys w...
