My K-drama recommendation master list Part 2

You can find part 1 here

Look, you gave us relatively new recommendations, what about ones older than 10 years? I'll give you my top 5

Princess Hours (2006) Is a modern Cinderella story. It's 24 episodes long. Available on Viki.

Personal Taste (2010) Honestly, problematic plot if you put your mind into it, but entertaining nonetheless. It's 16 episodes long, each one lasting a little over an hour, available on Viki.

Cinderella's Sister (2010) You hate every character, but there's still something that makes you watch it. Available on Viki.

Thank You (2007) was ahead of its time, it's about a single mother with a daughter who has an HIV+ diagnosis. 16 episodes long, each one lasting a little over an hour. Available on Viki.

Stairway to Heaven (2003) for a good melodrama.

What about romantic fantasies involving fantastic beings?

Guardian: The lonely and Great God(2016) A classic of the genre. It tells the story of a God who was once a man, and is being punished by immortality, unless he meets his bride, who just so happens to be a high schooler centuries later. Available on viki. 16 episodes long with 3 specials, all lasting about 75 minutes.

Hotel Del Luna (2019) it would be unfair to talk about Goblin, without talking about this other masterpiece about a being cursed into immortality and granted special availabilities along with it, but a curse is still a curse, and she must run a hotel meant for ghosts, where after centuries of being, meets a young man who is alive. Availability on Viki, 16 episodes long and each one lastz about 75 minutes.

Tale of the Nine Tailed (2020) You get to see Lee Dong Wook as another mystical being, and Kim Bum is his half brother. 16 episodes long and one special, each one lasting about 65 minutes. Available on Viki.

My roommate is a Gumiho (2021) what's up with gumihos? It's still airing. The title is self explanatory. Available on Viki and Qiyi.

Angel's last mission: Love (2019) is a cute and sad story about an angel who is about to ascend and a ballerina who has a cynical view of the world. Available on Viki. Each episode averages 30 minutes, with 32 episodes.

Doom at your service (2021) About to finish airing. It tells the story of a dying woman who wishes doom upon the world, and the doom who answers her plea. Available on viki, 16 episodes long, each one lasting about an hour.

The Scholar Who walks the night (2015) another Lee Joon Gi entry, but I swear all of his works are great, it's a period drama that tells the story of a scholar who is a vampire and the young bookseller he meets. It's 20 episodes long, each one lasting about an hour. Available on viki. Also, if you've liked Lee Soo Hyuk in Doom at Your Service, I advise you check this one out.

Tale of Arang (2012) two Lee Joon Gi entries in a row? Girl, you have to stop. Anyways, this one is another period piece of a magistrate who can see ghosts and the ghost of a young woman who doesn't remember her life, nor the cause of her death. Available on viki, it's 20 episodes long, each one lasting a little over an hour.

Look, those are fine or whatever, but I started as a K-pop fan, where can I see some idol dramas? Don't worry, I came prepared

Full House (2004) with Rain as the main character is the og idol drama in my opinion. Available on Viki. 16 episodes long, each one lasting about 73 minutes.

Imitation (2021) is currently airing, and it's literally an idol drama about idols. You can find a looot of idols too: Jeong Yun Ho and Park Seong Hwa from Ateez, Chani and Hwi Young from SF9, Park Ji Yeon from T-ara, Lim Na Young from I.O.I and Pristin, and although Jeong Ji So is not an idol, she is the main lead, and I absolutely love her, she's also in Doom at your service. Available on Viki.

Miss Panda and Mr. Hedgehog (2012) features Donghae from Super Junior, and if I'm going to recommend a Super Junior drama, I would rather recommend one featuring him over Siwon.

At a Distance the Spring is Green (2021) is currently airing too, and only has four released episodes, but I've liked it so far. Featuring Park Ji Hoon, and Kwon Dun Bin. Also, I have a lot of opinions about this show. Available on Viki.

I was going to put an IU drama but, all her dramas are good, so go and watch them all, the woman has range.

Dream High (2011) is the king of idol dramas, in my opinion. It talksa about a high school for people who want to be idols. Another one with a long line up of idols, so let me start: Suzy, IU, Taecyeon, Nichkhun and Wooyoung from 2PM, Ham Eun Jung from T-ara. Leeteuk (SuJu and Chansung (2PM) make cameos. Similarly to Imitation, Kim Soo Hyun is not an idol, but he's the main lead. It's 16 episodes long, each one lasting about 65 minutes. Available on Viki.

Wow, quite a few, but they all seem rather popular, do you have some underrated gems? I'm going to have to go down memory lane, but I do

The Queen's Classroom (2013) This one feels like a fever dream, because I'm aware it exists, I watched it back when it first aired, but I can't find it anywhere now. It's based on a Japanese drama of the same name. It's about a strict but warm hearted teacher and her students' lives and struggles. 16 episodes long. DM me if you find anywhere to watch it.

1% of Something (2016) is a really cute drama, the chemistry is off the charts, and if you're looking for skinship, this one is the one for you, underrated arranged marriage kdrama, I'm telling you. It's 16 episodes long, averaging 45 minutes, and it's on Viki.

I'm not a Robot (2017) has a really cute plot, not underrated per se, but not hyped enough. It's 32 episodes long, each one averaging 30 minutes. Available on Viki.

Do you like Brahms? (2020) is a music themed kdrama, really cute and wholesome. If you like 2setviolin and watched their critique on their YouTube channel, let me tell you, the cast actually knows how to play violin and stuff, and there's an actual child prodigy in there. It got so much hate bc of that one yt video. It's 16 episode long, each one lasting about an hour. Available on Viki.

Solomon's Perjury (2016) a good reflection on youth and the pressure society has. 12 episodes long, lasting about 63 minutes each. Available on Viki.

The Greatest Love (2011) is a super entertaining TV show, and just supper funny and cute. 16 episodes long, each one lasting around 65 minutes. Available on Viki.

Two Cops (2017) if you like Kim Seon Ho, I think this was his TV acting debut. It's a hilarious action comedy TV show. 32 episodes long, lasting around 30 minutes. Available on viki.

Do you have any recommendations where time traveling or time is central to the story?

Alice (2020) look, I can't give you a full explanation because it's too mind bending. Let's leave it at detective meets his mother. Available on Viki.

Signal (2016) The premise is similar to that of the movie Frequency (2000) in which there's communication between the past and the present via technology. The plot is based on the real Hwaseong serial murders. Really interesting. Available on Netflix. If you like the premise of communicating with the past via technology Call (2020) is a Korean thriller movie available on Netflix.

Chicago Typewriter (2017) this one is about reincarnation but we get to see both timelines. Available on Netflix.

Tomorrow with you (2017) Time-traveling but make it ✨depressing ✨. The story of a man who time travels, and how that ability messes with his marriage. Available on Netflix.

What about historical dramas? I don't really watch those, but here are some I liked

The Moon Embracing the Sun (2012) is one of the few I've finished. It's really good, it follows the love story of a king. Available on viki. 20 episodes long, each one lasting about an hour.

Gunman in Joseon (2014) Am I recommending you this one because of Lee Joon Gi? Maybe. It has 22 episodes, each one lasting about an hour. Available on Viki.

The Crowned Clown (2019) a story of the Prince and the Pauper if I must give you a description that is relatable, but if you know the book titled Skogland, it's closer to that. It's 16 episodes long, each one lasting about 80 minutes. Available on Viki.

I'm a little ashamed to say this, but do you have any BL? I do, I do

To My Star (2021) is a story about an actor and a chef, and how they learn to cohabit after the actor is forced into hiding. You can watch either the movie version or the drama version, both available on viki.

Color Rush (2020) is a modern romance fantasy about people called Monos who can't see any color unless they meet their Probes, however this may turn dangerous as the Monos may experience obsessive behavior, so what happens when a young high schooler meets his probe?. You can either watch it on its drama or movie version. Both available on viki. By the way, if you're a long time deobi and was wandering what happened to Hwall, he's one of the main leads.

You Make Me Dance (2021) follows the story of a university dancer who is in debt and his debt collector. Available on viki in both versions. The movie is 107 minutes long.

Just Friends (2009) is a short film, but ahead of its time, if you can't tell by the year it was released on. It's a cute story about a man who visits his boyfriend in the military. I found it in dramacool.

That's all from me, if you have any specific genre or them you felt I didn't add in, do feel free to tell me.

BIOGRAPHY.

born in seoul, south korea.

parents were very well known ceos, both running very successful corporations.

and of course, they wanted sangjun to follow in their footsteps.

parents were pretty strict and didn’t really allow him to do well.. anything.

however, they did buy him whatever he wanted and spoiled him in that way.

and due to both of those things combined, he started to rebel at a really young age. ( i’m talking like 10 )

so he’d sneak out, graffiti people’s houses and break things and the likes.

never got caught for it, though, knowing that if he did his parents would have kicked him out and probably disowned him for his behavior.

but one of the reasons he never got caught being a rebel was the fact he was bringing straight a’s in school, was always the very top of his class and from his parent’s perspective? he was a model child.

however, he hated that, hated having to live under his parent’s shadows and be this cookie-cutter version of himself they wanted him so desperately to be.

but he played it off, juggling the 'angel’ side of him with the rebellious tendencies that continued to grow worse and worse with each passing year.

god, high school was so different, though. he’d rebel more and more every single day, pushing the limits of getting caught.

however, word got out pretty quickly about just how wealthy his family was and kids started to bully sangjun for it, causing his anger to get the better of him until he lashed out so bad it landed one of those bullies in the hospital for copious amounts of injuries.

of course, his parents were pissed. grounded him for a solid month and in that time, he learned each and every way he could sneak out of his house at night, wandering the streets of seoul at all hours.

one of those nights he happened to run into a group of people who also went to his school, but instead of them bullying him for whatever reason, they commended him on standing up for himself like he had & told him there was a way to let out the pent up aggression that ended up sending a kid to the hospital.

his curiosity was lit up that night, eager to figure out what the hell they were talking about and a few days later, he was introduced to a scene that’d become far more intoxicating that anything he’d ever experienced before.

underground fighting. no rules, no shadows he had to live under, tons of money for each win under his belt? it was the life he never knew he wanted, but the second he got a taste of it, he wanted more.

so those late night strolls turned into him sneaking out of the house only to meet up with his new group of friends, all of which were clad in full black outfits .. traveling to some random person’s basement ( or abandoned buildings of numerous kinds ) only for sangjun to be able to release every single bit of pent up aggression he carried out on some stranger who’d never remember his name.

his parents? they were just as clueless as before, though, sam continuing to excel in school as well as his fights so much so that he found the perfect balance.. learned how to hide the scrapes and bruises from his mother & father all while continuing to be the top of his class.

not to mention he was juggling all of that and his acting career all at once, trying to hide certain things from his parents and the rest of the world because he knew it’d ruin his reputation.

however, due to the amount of stress that sat upon sam’s shoulders on a daily basis, he let himself slip up on his 21st birthday, parents stumbling into his apartment only to catch him drunk & high with a bunch of strangers surrounding him.

it was a moment he’d been scared of his whole life, worried his parents would just disown him right then and there...

but in all honesty? it was the most freeing night of sam’s life.

he didn’t have to pretend to be someone he wasn’t anymore, didn’t have to pretend to be a pure and innocent little thing who never did anything wrong. didn’t have to live up to the high expectations he’d set for himself so many years ago and god, he was hooked.

his parents not disowning him and continuing to pay for everything he wanted only fueling him to continue the downward spiral, living his life to the fullest, doing whatever the hell he wanted to... whenever the hell he wanted to.

PERSONALITY. ( PT 2. )

hides behind a wall of sarcasm, cockiness, anger and lust.

doesn’t really care to get to know people and had a tendency to push people away before they get too close to him. ( though it’s all a ruse. )

wears glasses to read and mess w computers, but hates them a lot and probably won’t wear them if people are around.

has two different wardrobes, one for when he’s around his parents. that consists of suits & dressy attire. and then one for when he isn’t that consists of ripped jeans, t-shirts, sweats & everything in between.

is …. stubborn as hell and refuses to ask for help with anything.

his motorcycle is literally his baby ??? like he ?? has a problem ??

fluent in a lot of languages, picked them up so that he didn’t need translators at his parents meetings and the likes.

lowkey worried that people will figure out that he’s actually v scared & stressed on the inside because that’ll cause him to start having to deal with his feelings, and he doesn’t wanna do that.

is the biggest flirt you will ever meet?? like if he’s speaking to you… its usually flirty as hell unless it has to do w business ( both his parents & his fights ) or he’s just known you for centuries ?

will try to get everyone to go to bars n parties with him because that’s his life in a nutshell ??

drinks..heavily.. like every night?? it’s a problem tbh.

nerd on the inside though like owns so many comic books, loves to play video games, read books, plays piano.. loves to sketch, paint & the likes.

he cares… god he cares so much about people and the world but he pretends to hate everything because it’s easier than letting people in.

full of horrible and cheesy pick up lines and jokes and frequently texts people said pick up lines and jokes.

owns a book that is full of nothing but blank pages and keeps it on his coffee table because he ‘relates’ to it.

is a highkey hoe but he tries to keep it on the dl ( he fails… miserably. )

super into fitness as it’s a way to keep him away from drinking every evening. ( that doesn’t work for him tho, oof.. )

also has bruised knuckles 24/7 & some other injuries he gets from his fights, plays it off like he’s just clumsy.

anger issues af. needs to get them in check.

actually super kind and caring once you’re able to see get past his wall?? which is really hard tbh but if you’re able to? he’s so loyal and caring it’s unreal.

has a bad habit of smoking whenever he’s stressed out, which is usually all of the time so he smokes…. more than he should ( though he won’t admit to being stressed out,,,,, ever in his life. )

highkey into cuddling and all the cute shit like that but would literally never tell a soul because then they’d see that he isn’t the ‘hardass’ he pretends to be on a daily basis.

is a burnt cupcake who has 'decent’ intentions but has extremely horrible execution skills.

Cranberry and Black Cherry Teas are Healthy Choices

According to available information, tea was discovered accidentally. That’s what they say! It seems that some guy in China was preparing a meal and had a pot of water boiling. It was a windy day and leaves were blown into the pot of hot water. To the cook’s surprise, the water was turned into an amazing drink. That’s how brewing tea began. The versions of this story or legend vary, but it sounds believable to me. After all, aren’t many of the wonderful things we enjoy in life discovered accidentally?

According to tea historians, there is a record of tea drinking that dates back to the 3rd century AD. But it is believed that tea drinking can be traced all the way back to the Shang Dynasty and if that beginning date is correct, then the joys of tea drinking started during the second millennium BC. This means that from that point in time, the passion and love for tea managed to take hold of the entire world. The Chinese love it. The Japanese and Koreans love it. The British love it. The Africans love it! The Americans love it! Who doesn’t love tea?

And you can’t just say you love tea because that statement is entirely too broad and generic. You need to break it down. What kind or flavor of tea do you like? Because there are all kinds. Don’t believe me? My daughter went on a spending spree and brought several different boxes of teas. There were flavors I had never even heard of like Gingerbread Spice and Sugar Plum Spice. Of course, those are very likely specialty teas for the holiday season. But still! She also had all kinds of fruit teas and teas made from flowers and black tea and green tea, etc. etc.

I decided to choose a tea not so much based on the taste but for the tea’s medicinal value. I figure at my age, that’s probably the best bet.I enjoy cranberry tea or black cherry tea.

Why cranberry tea?

When I was in the hospital (decades ago), right after giving birth, I was given a choice of apple juice, orange juice, and cranberry juice. The nurse recommended that I drink cranberry juice. She said it would restore a lot of the vitamins and minerals I had lost during childbirth. So I thought to myself: ‘If cranberry juice is good, then cranberry tea is probably good too.’

So is my logic correct? Does cranberry tea have medicinal value? You bet it does! Guess what’s in cranberry tea? Lots of minerals and vitamins such as Vitamins C, K and E. There are numerous health benefits, but what I mainly like about it is that it is good for weight loss. It helps burn fat and flushes toxins out of your body. It is considered a detox tea. Some health professionals say it can be used in treating breast cancer and stomach cancer; and also for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. I don’t know that personally for myself because I don’t suffer from either malady. Additionally, I like it because its color complements the festive mood of the winter holiday season. The health benefit is that it uplifts my mood and makes me happy.

Why black cherry tea?

Black cherry juice and black cherry tea are in high demand. I discovered the health benefits accidentally. My late husband had a problem with his big toe. Turns out that it was gout and eating black cherries helped. Well, black cherries are not always in season and in the grocery store’s produce section. So what was the alternative? Juice or tea. A bottle of juice is kind of expensive for our grocery budget. But the tea is reasonably priced.

Cherry tea helps reduce inflammation, eases muscle pain, decreases pain from gout, from arthritis, and headaches. Maybe this is why a lot of medicine comes in cherry flavor. You think? My only regret is that I did not know about this remedy when I was growing up. My father suffered from arthritis and I never saw him drink tea. He drank one cup of coffee a day, sweetened with saccharin and colored with a little bit of cream. My mother was a coffee drinker too! Ah well! Live and learn. At least I found out about it in order to treat my husband’s health problems. Black cherry tea is similar to cranberry tea in that it is also used for detoxification.

If you are not really a tea drinker but you want to try different teas, start with cranberry or black cherry tea. Drink in the morning, during the day, or just before going to bed. In addition to the medicinal benefits, they taste great!

ooohhg you watch dramas? can you recommend me one?

whoo ok. i’ve mostly watched korean dramas just bc i haven’t found any other super interesting ones, so i hope that’s ok?*just a forewarning: i’m putting links to kissasian here, and that might cause a lot of popups for you. i use adblock so it doesn’t affect me. i’m pretty sure all of these dramas are also available on dramafever as well ^^*under the cut bc this is some long shit sorry.

My very first drama was Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (featuring baekhyun from exo!). Moon Lovers is about a girl named Go Ha-jin (played by IU!) from the modern era who manages to drown and get thrown into the Goryeo Dynasty, in the year 941. she becomes this girl from the past whose name is Hae Soo, and she meets all these princes from the ruling Wang family. and of course she falls in love with one prince but some other things happen and a whole lot changes. but anyway, it’s not a super tear jerker, but it’s very sad in some parts. there’s also a couple episodes with lashing, and torture, but it’s not too explicit. i definitely recommend it if you enjoy historical korea. (also there are a lot of beautiful people but that’s just a bonus).

Another one i would recommend is Blood. this is a drama about vampires, but mainly about doctors but also mainly about vampires… i can’t really tell which is supposed to be the main theme lol. anyway! the leading actors are actually married now! and they started dating while/after (i’m not sure when they started dating lol). honestly they’re both so gorgeous and such a cute couple. anyway, back to Blood. Park Ji-sang (Ahn Jae-hyun) is a doctor specializing in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery in a cancer institute. He’s the vampire. Yoo Ri-ta (Gu Hye-sun) is his colleague and the niece of the hospital owner. she’s very snotty actually lol but there’s some past between her and jisang even tho they don’t know it yet. (was that a spoiler?) um anyway, it’s pretty good, i personally loved it but it’s probably not the best drama ever.

next is Legend of the Blue Sea. this is like my second favorite drama. i loved it so so much fjdakgjdg. anyway. this one is about a mermaid and a human scenario that’s kind of similar to The Little Mermaid. except that the ‘prince’ is actually a top-notch con artist lmao. a mermaid (Jeon Ji-hyeon) who is later named Shim Chung falls in love with con-artist Heo joon-jae (played by the talented, the cute, the handsome, the amazing Lee Min-ho). (can u tell i love lee min-ho?) anyway, she falls in love with him and after he goes back to seoul, she follows him and searches all around seoul for him (resulting in some frustrating “damn, so close” moments). so she’s living with him, who is a con artist, and he’s trying to keep the fact that he’s a con artist from her (which isn’t hard bc she’s a mermaid she doesn’t know what a con artist is lol) and his two con artist friends are also living with them. it’s a very manga scenario tbh. anyway, this is some good shit, it’s not too mushy for those of y’all who don’t like romance, but it has a good bit of romance in, but it also has a lot of family drama that happens later. 11/10 would watch again.

next is Cinderella and the Four Knights which also has Ahn Jae-hyun in it. this is a lot more romancey than the others i think. but it’s not too bad. so this girl hates her life due to her new step-mother and step-sister, and she’s working all the time to pay for herself and she really wants to go to college. (i think. i watched this a long time ago lol). anyway, as she’s working in a convenience store, she meets this rich boy hyun-min, who eventually hires her to accompany him to his grandfather’s nth wedding. she does, and a whole bunch of shit involving the family happens, she gets roasted by hyun-mins half?cousin and then she gets hired by the father to uhh either house keep or try to help his three grandsons. anywho, this is a toned down version of boys over flowers but it’s pretty good for a day when u wanna look at handsome men and watch some cliche family drama go down.

this is getting really long i’m so sorry.

anyway, next is W: Two Worlds. THIS IS SOME GOOOOOD SHIT. at least to me. i’ve been told i have no taste so lol. anyway, this was super interesting. oh yeon joo is a surgeon whose father is a webcomic artist. he does this webcomic called W. the webcomic is about a guy named Kang Chul, who was framed for his parent’s and sister’s deaths. he was proven innocent, though, and ends up being the president of a company. so yeon joo one day goes over to her dad’s place and goes into the room he draws in. she sees a scene of a dying kang chul on her dad’s drawing tablet. she reads a note, and then a hand grabs her and pulls her into the world of W. she ends up on the rooftop of a hotel, where kang chul has just gotten stabbed by the murderer of his parents and sister. and that’s where the crazy shit begins. this is such and interesting show, with a really unique premise. i def recommend.

ok these next two are actually movies, and they’re gay-themed so.

Night Flight is really fckn good. but! it is also really not happy. like at all. no fluff here. this deals with the SEVERE bullying that was apparently very prevalent in korea at the time this was made (and probably still is but i’m not sure). if you don’t want to watch bullying/bullying towards gay people, please skip this one. Shin Yong-joo, Han Ki-woong and Ko Ki-taek were all close friends in middle school, but Ki-woong becomes estranged from the other two, and becomes a jjang, one of the strongest fighters in the school and starts hanging around with the school gang (the bullies). Yong-joo is hiding his sexual orientation (he’s gay) from everyone, and Ki-taek is being bullied by the school gang. like i said, this is pretty brutal in terms of bullying, and it could make you uncomfortable, but it is a good watch. it’s also directed by Leesong Hee-Il, who is openly gay :)

The King and the Clown is set in the late 15th century during the reign of King Yeonsan. these two comedians, Jangsaeng and Gong-gil break away from their troop after Jangsaeng had enough of their manager prostituting Gong-gil (who’s feminine and super beautiful) off to rich customers. so, after they break off, they run away to seoul and form a new troop with three street performers. they come up with a skit that mocks the king and members of his court. but then they get arrested and are told they have to make the king laugh, or they die. the king and the clown was really frustrating for me, because it had one of those “is this happy?” endings, ya know? but anyway, it’s a good watch, definitely. the homosexuality isn’t the main point, and there isn’t even much of it there, but you can tell that jangaeng has a thing for gong-gil. this movie was actually based off a stage play “Yi” (which means You) that was about King Yeonsan.

honorable mention: Boys Over Flowers. it’s based off a manga called hana yori dango, which is also a japanese drama with three seasons. anyway, it’s about a poor girl who goes to a rich people school, and she gets chased after and harassed by falls in love with with the cocky handsome school idol. it’s kind of cliche now, but it’s an early 2000′s drama. it’s good tho. give it a watch.

and this concludes my recommendations. if you read this far, go you. you’re a true trooper.

So I was tagged by @be-the-piano and since I am not that busy as I was I am going to do the tag (I know that around time of New Years I was tagged in another like 6 posts but I was busy studying for test which I still failed and now I have no energy to search for them... but I wat to thank you and I appreciate that you tagged me <3 @kpopruinedmywholelifeu and @creepersdongsaeng bc I know it was you but I just... have no energy, so I want to apologize at least like this)

Thank you for tagging me hun <3 Now to this tag lol

Rules: Answer the 11 questions, create 11 questions on your own and tag 11 people to answer them.

1. What animal do you (want to) have?

I have no animal rn, but I just LOVE CATS. My grandma has one- my lil baby (and another bunch of stray cats is wandering on and around her garden and we are giving them food, but her own cat, who also owns the garden and territory around it isn’t so happy abt it, especially there are some cats she really hates/is scared of). But probably will never have one bc I am allergic to them. But if I see cat somewhere or if you have cat home, you bet that I am going to pet it/visit you at home.

2. Sea or mountains?

Damn... both (you think it doesn’t exist? Go to Corsica. I was there, there was both and it was the best lol.

3. Who is your favourite person (fictional or not)?

Hmmmm... my fave person. It is sth like fictional character lol. Don’t laugh at me now okay? But I just love Chandler from freinds because he is like... male version of me lol.

4. Last song you listened to?

I am just listening to B.A.P’s Honeymoon (bless)

5. What is your favourite season?

I... think I already had sth like this in some tags and wrote 20 rows long essay what I love about every season, bc I love them all lol. But... I think that spring?

6. Playing sports/watching sports?

BOTH. I love playing sports (mostly beach volleyball or tennis, ocassionaly ice skating) and I love watching sports (do you need ice hockey buddy? ask me and we can go together to pub watching ice hockey; You love darts? I am in. Do you like to cry over Yuzuru’s ice skating or others’ figure skaters’ skills? You bet I will cry with you lol. You need someone to watch tennis match? You can’t find better pro than me who can tell you top 100 players in women’s and men’s ranking lol. You need rugby buddy? HELL YES!!! Just don’t drag me to football... that is thing I dislike to the maximum level lol).

9. The class you hate(d) most.

CHEMISTRY

10. Is there any language you would like to learn?

Well... I am trying to learn Japanese now (I am still very bad bc I had like... 30 lessons spread to whole year so), I would like to learn Korean or learn Italian well (I had courses but I already forgot everything and I fucking love that language)

11. What is your favourite word and why?

I will go and say forget-me-not. It is because in our language it has the word “forget” too and I just found it amazing when I saw the translation of it. Plus it sounds cute to me in some way?

I won’t tag anyone, because it is late and I am too drained to think about the questions lol.

#again sorry to you guys lolol... It is not that it annoys me #I just... am very busy with trcng and now I have to get back to work and studying and just...#I still love you so much #tag game

. –– ⩓⩔⩓ TASK ⋮ mun report

Basics

Name/Nickname/Alias: Tally (it’s an alias; a variation of my real name, actually. no, it’s not tallulah.)

Timezone: GMT+4

Gender/Pronouns: cis female, she/her

Age: 21 (going on 22 on january 10th rip)

Personal Introduction:

i’m not good at introductions (who is, tho??) but uh . i’m a university student in my fourth year, studying graphic design. i’ve got two semesters to go, god when will it end?? i’ve been rping for ... say , six or seven years give or take ? and my english used to be so bad back then it’s embarrassing. but i think rping is one of the reasons i’ve became fluent in english. still not fluent enough. actually, learning english made me lowkey forget formal arabic (my first language) because no one uses it in daily life (we use dialects) and all my classes are in english, so im Fucked lmao. i do want to learn either japanese or korean just because they’re such beautiful languages, so hopefully sometime in the future

Personality

Who is your favorite Greek/Roman God/Goddess?: it’s a tie between hades and persephone. power couple am i right

If you had to meet any mythological God or being, who would you most like to meet?: persephone. she’s someone i always wanted to know more about, plus that she’s someone powerful but soft which is a fact that i like about her

Favorite movie(s) and TV-show(s)? i don’t really watch movies or shows, bc i just . can’t keep up. i do love detective conan, though. it’s a childhood anime as old as i am and i still haven’t managed to keep up with it :’)

Favorite books?: pjo were the first series i got into and finished. after that, i got into harry potter (i was 19 and p late on the bandwagon smh)

Favorite music?: i like listening to rock bands, indie music and alternative. i also love me some kpop, recently more into bts and loona the most. i used to avoid jpop but i got into keyakizaka46 just a few months ago and i love them so much, my babies. basically, i prefer music with 1) good and unique sound, and 2) meaningful and deep lyrics that aren’t your typical cliche ones

Favorite color?(yes, ikr, important question): black or white :’) hoWever. everyone is convinced that i like green because almost everything i own in my room is green, but i actually don’t... like it. i just find it pleasing to the eye lmao i dont make sense

What are your hobbies and what you enjoy doing besides RP here?: as sad as it’s going to sound, i’m not sure. i do love spending time on photoshop, but it’s usually for school or rping. i find rping to be relaxing for me and a way to escape to another world if that makes sense. it became a big part of my daily life that i barely have any hobbies, which doesn’t sound healthy at all, i know

Random fun fact(s): anxiety tw! i used to be golden, straight A’s student in primary school and that put expectations of me for everyone that that slowly changed me into my lazy and slow self today. i get anxious when i’m not achieving something, but i also don’t care if i don’t. it’s a cycle and a mess and i keep having to deal with it with every class and every project, and every semester that i have to pass and not repeat

Roleplay

What is/are your character(s)?: mei hino of hades, penelope jeon of triton and keith nam of hecate

Which of your characters do you most identify with (if any)?: in this rp, i don’t think i identify much with any of my characters. they’re versions of people i somewhat want to be like.

If you have multiple characters, which is the most fun to play? Which is the hardest to play?: i love playing mei the most, i don’t know why, actually. the hardest would be penelope. i’m so used to her interacting with other characters in 1x1, so she’s kind of different there. keith is somewhere in the middle. he’s fun to play but a little hard because he’s happy-go-lucky and a ray of sunshine who wants to protect but needs to be protected, and i’m still not used to that kind of character.

How and why did you decide to join the RP?: i was bored one time and Needed to play mei somewhere? like i had So Much muse for her, it was crazy. so i was looking through the rp tags and was like ... u know what, i haven’t joined a pjo rp in more than a year. so i found the rp like that!

What other kind of RP do you do?: i used to be in other groups, but the past year hasn’t been kind to me, so i’ve either been kicked out for very very stupid and childish reasonings the admins had, or left because of injustice treatment and unfairness. so after that, my friend and i started our own little personal group for the two of us with all of our characters. we call it 1x1 when it’s technically not. it’s just two people rping together with all of their babies because we didn’t want to abandon them. if anyone wants to know more about my characters there, don’t hesitate to message me. they’re my babies and i cherish them so much!

PJO Universe

What books in Rick Riordan’s mythology series’ did you read (also including the short stories, encyclopedia-type books by Percy and the Egyptian and Norse stories?): i’ve read the pjo series and the heroes of olympus series. loved the first, hated how the second ended 🙄 i tried to read the red pyramid, but couldn’t get into it. i am planning on reading the newer series; magnus chase and the trials of apollo

What was your favorite (and why?): percy jackson and the last olympian. MAN THAT SHIT!!! it was so action packed and so fun to read. i personally think it was the best ending to a series. the blood of olympus in the second series can eat shit

Have you seen the PJO movies and what did you think of them?: we do not speak of those cursed ones

Who is your favorite canon character in the PJO mythology universe (and why?): percy jackson, of course. who doesn’t love our main bitch??? leo was a favorite too, he was funny and relatable and he was my favorite baby

Where do you think you’d live, CHB or New Rome/Camp Jupiter?: camp halfblood, probably.

If you were born a demigod, who would your parent be based on your personality and who would you want it to be (if it’s not the same)?: hades hades hades

What would ambrosia taste like for you?: japanese cheese cake. yes.
