Drama Gossip: Jazz for Two
Tumblr media
Source: Google Images
Han Tae Yi lost his will to live after the death of his older brother, who was a genius jazz pianist. To Tae Yi, transfer student Yoon Se Heon is truly an uninvited guest. Se Heon has been playing jazz that reminds Tae Yi of his brother since the first day he transferred to school and gets on Tae Yi’s nerves.
Se Heon also suspects that Tae Yi has a suspicious relationship with his friend Seo Do Yoon. Se Heon, who longs to play jazz freely and escape the eyes of his strict classical music professor father and Tae Yi, who wants to give up everything, was assigned to the same group for joint performance evaluation.
As they practice together, they find themselves developing complex emotions for one another. However, just as their relationship begins to deepen, Song Joo Ha, a senior student who was suspended from school, returns to school, and his presence begins to stir up things between Tae Yi and Se Heon.

Takes the Throne for Glossing Over Everything
Tell me why this show couldn't have done an hour per episode or give Jazz for Two more episodes? Is it due to budgeting? Because boy did this drama fall short thanks to how rushed it feels.
I actually enjoyed this drama. I really did. Unfortunately, I needed more.
For example, we really glossed over Doyoon and Juha's relationship. Juha saved Doyoon from some bullies. Okay, but why? Especially if dude's a bully himself too? Juha started bullying Doyoon. Okay, but why? Was it internalised homophobia? Something he was not aware he had until Doyoon made his move? That whole part where Juha practically called Doyoon disgusting was self-explanatory. However, Juha started feeling lost because Doyoon ignored his existence and he just do a 180 flip? The locker scene touched parts of my heart but Juha rationalising his previous actions was hella weak. And for Doyoon to immediately fall back into Juha's arms? Don't get me wrong, I freaking love the both of them. I just couldn't take how half-assed their story felt.
Unfortunately, the main couple's story felt glossed over at times too. Seheon's relationship with his father? The fact that his father was so strict with him yet when Seheon blew up and let it be known that he liked jazz over classical music, the father though strict, let Seheon do what he wanted. And then his father was never talked about again.
Also, Taeyi and his trauma? Or the final episode, that whole festival subplot.
Jazz for Two could have been a five-star watch if glossing over shit was not a strategy used constantly in the show...
Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5)

Merry Christmas!
I'm not doing something this big again for a while-

Part 2 of the Kissing Ideas:
Jin-Chul is offered to a small dance and slowly as he begins to relax under Zhigangs' arms as well as being hypnotized by the man's eyes, he doesnt register their lips touching until it is too late and Zhigang is pulling out his tongue inside him.
Tae gyu is trying to lighten up the mood after apologizing to Minoru since he shot him. He keeps bandaging the wounds and doesnt nktice when other suddenly started leaning closerup to him. He quickly puts a peck on his lips and leaves.
Before Jeju, Haein with no hesitation whatsoever grabs Jinchul and kisses him, hoping this wont be the last time she does so. Jinchul lets it be for a moment before wrapping her into a hug, "Promise me youll come back." "Always."
Juhee jumps straight into Haein's arms, they spin around for a second in happines before all the sudden they lock eyes with one another. Juhee cups her cheeks and pulls her in for a kiss.
Either its in a picnic or somewhere tranquil among the fields, with both of them finally smiling so brightly after overcoming their fears. As Juhee looks so mesmerising in the view of the sunset, Byung gyu gets closer and closer, cuping her cheek before confessing just how beutiful she is, and as juhee is struck by this he leaves a simple kiss on her lips. (Sorry @manawari today i couldnt angst 😔)
Goto tends to leave some kisses on Chiyul's limb or the palm of his hand like a gentleman. It leaves Chiyul laughing about it.
Song-I was asking for Jin-Ah's permition to kiss her when all the sudden Jin-Woo popped out from the shadows, this happened way too many times until Jin-Ah was the one to initiate it instead.
Kancha: All the sudden after sparring Haein won and stole a kiss from a hotheaded Kanae as a prize.
Haesil: Jinwoo tricked Esil for the funsies by telling her that when you love someone you kiss them, and so Esil proceeded to kiss Haein after sparing with her because she loved (the match they had).
Bellgris(Bellion, Igris): Bellion always lowers his head and wings a little while asking "may I?" So as to give Igris a hug or a kiss on the helmet, he is too pure for anything else. And Igris is just a tired human that keeps wondering why Bellion keeps asking when the've been together for almost a millenia christ above!
Ashborn would often rest at the knees of the Absolute Being, to look up and see his most beloved was enough than anything else in the whole universe.

My Demon
Tumblr media
TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024
My Demon (2023/24, South Korea)
Director: Kim Jang Han
Writer: Choi Ah Il
Mini-review:
Look, I'm not gonna lie. I started this drama for a very superficial reason: Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang are one of the most gorgeous couples I've ever seen. And tbh, that's one of the things that kept me watching until the end. The first half was pretty fun, thanks to their will-they-won't-they dynamic and some really funny supporting characters and recurring gags. Unfortunately, it began to drag around the middle part, and then it got more and more boring with each passing episode. By the time the final episode came out, I no longer cared about the plot, the characters or anything else (although the ending itself was quite nice). With all that in mind, I can't help but think My Demon would have worked much better as a movie.

Now, we know why Seo Do Guk is such a prince in a shining armour; he's been brought up by THREE AWESOME QUEENS. If I liked them before, now I utterly adore them, be it the mom, grandma, or sister; while they might be understandably cautious about Yi Joo since she is a woman they have only just met, few minutes in the company of her "family" members is enough to immediately see the new fiancée of their beloved boy has grown up in a vipers' pit and been poisoned by them way too many times to count.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seo Do Na is the MOOOOOD.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lady, you must have a death wish. You might diss your adoptive daughter in front of everyone, but by giving that condescending look to Cha Yeon Hwa's daughter, you've managed to make an enemy of a woman who even the Seo chairwoman fears in the first five minutes of meeting her. Do Guk's mother looks like she is ready to strangle her on the spot, and she still doesn't even begin to know the worst of her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yi Joo's adoptive mother tries to disparage her in the eyes of her future in-laws, but it's them, these virtual strangers to her, especially Do Guk's mom who treat her like a real family - they support her and defend her against her own parents. Actually, his mother looks at her with more motherly love and kindness. her mother has ever done. She barely knows her, but her heart already reaches out to her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And so, on this day, Han Yi Joo's Defence Squad / Armada has been established with general Cha Yeon Hwa at its helm and the her two captains Seo Do Na and Lee Tae Ja by her side.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
LOL! Like mother, like son - they are two peas in the same pod. She might have criticized Do Guk for his choice of a bride at first, but no matter how much she tries to deny it, she is already halfway in love with Yi Joo as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like she is one step from joining her son's campaign to plump her up and cook her meals with him. Seriously, if Do Guk didn't plan to marry Yi Joo, she might have adopted her herself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She might deny it all she wants, but beneath that tough as nails exterior, she is a big softie, in fact, all three woman are, and they are exactly what Yi Joo needs in her life.

New Korean BL - Jazz for Two
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tae Yi (Song Han Gyeom?) hears a familiar melody filling the empty halls and makes his way to the old music room. He knows his brother is dead, but he can’t help but hope, maybe, just maybe...it’s his brother playing his favorite song. When he slams open the door, however, he finds Se Heon (Kim Jin Kwon), a new transfer student, at the piano. Disappointment comes crashing down and Tae Yi can’t control his anger. How dare Se Heon play his brother’s song? How dare he smile? How dare he say he loves jazz?
“If I ever catch you playing the piano again...that’ll be the end of you.”
And with that begins Tae Yi and Se Heon's story, as unpredictable and visceral as jazz. (Source: BLUPDATE2022 Twitter via MDL)
Adapted from the webtoon "Jazz for Two" (재즈처럼) by Keul Ra Jyu (클라쥬)
Stars
Song Han Gyeom (prev A-Day), Omega X (rapper)
Kim Jin Kwon, Newkidd (leader, sub-vocal)
Byun Sung Tae - lead in Happy Merry Ending
Ko Jae Hyun - side in To My Star
Thoughts
With two active idols in the leads (we think), odds are not great on this one. So far the only truly successful execution of solid BL from active idols has been Semantic Error (and frankly KNK barely counts). Plus this is the production team/director behind A Shoulder to Cry On which I HATED, so yeah...
I'm excited to have anything new from Korea but I'm keeping my expectations low.
My idols in BLs tracking is here (possibly not updated). This won't get on the list until after it releases. Never count your idols until after the BL has hatched.

The lyrics on the shirt Han Tae Yi is wearing in Jazz for Two when he keeps having nightmares of his brother . . .
Tumblr media
Wish I could, I could've said goodbye I would've said what I wanted to Maybe even cried for you If I knew it would be the last time I would've broke my heart in two Tryna save a part of you
Tumblr media
They are the lyrics to Lady Gaga's Grammy-award winning and Oscar-nominated song "I'll Never Love Again" from the 2018 movie A Star is Born, and her character sings it as a memorial to her husband who died by suicide.
youtube
So . . . yeah.

JAZZ FOR TWO (2024, SOUTH KOREA)
Episode 5
Dreaming of his late older brother Han Tae Yi (JI HO GEUN) awakens to Yoon Se Heon (KIM JIN KWON)
Tae Yi coldness to Se Heon seems to relate to the former interests in jazz which reminds him of his older brother.
However an attraction or a fascination makes Tae Yi's feel uncomfortable around Se Heon. Or is he fighting feelings of a more romantic nature.

my name is moe (she / her) twenty-four. black and cherokee-indian, thank you for coming by and checking out my blog. I highly encouraged coming into my inbox and interacting with me (messages, requests, etc) because I genuinely love that stuff with my whole heart.
due to the nature of my blog and the manhwa itself, minors and ageless blogs are prohibited from interacting with me and will receive an immediate block. this blog and it's contents caters only to an adult audience. Please refer to this post to know more
Tumblr media

While my inbox is open to requests (both anonymously and non) I do reserve the right to decline any submissions that either breaks my rules or makes me uncomfortable.
That being said, I love crossover content of any kind and absolutely encourage more than just reader x character fics! I'm in many fandoms like Wandavision, Castlevania, Inuyasha, Disney, Jujutsu Kaisen, American Dad, Archer, Hazbin Hotel etc.
POINTS OF VIEW: male, female, deaf, blind, black (African-American), etc.

Tumblr media
🌺 CHARACTER LIST (see images here)
[ganak village]: Rangbi, Jahan, Saran, Yul
[hwadam kingdom]: Emperor Dhan, Bayan, Chief Secretary Juhyul, Chief General Ga-Yerang, Suyeon
[concubines]: Sama Hyeon, Han Bia, Ye Tae Im, Karan
characters from other fandoms
Tumblr media
🌺 ABOUT THE MANHWA (read it here)
Bayan is an outcast amongst the Siyo, a people who have healing powers. Considered worthless because she doesn’t have the ability to heal others, Bayan is sent to the court of Dhan, the Great Sun Emperor, who is cursed with unrelenting bloodlust and slaughters his concubines mercilessly. It seems that Bayan’s fate is sealed the moment she reaches the emperor’s palace and Dhan is fated to suffer from madness forever... But together, Bayan and Dhan just might be able to change each other’s destiny.
Elixir Of The Sun is a historical romance about our main characters Dhan and Bayan overcoming fate and finding love in one another through trials and tribulations. The Manwha is adapted from the light novel "Lord Of The Sun" written by Soldam and does contain dark, sensitive and explicitly adult scenes where as the manhwa is careful to tone it down for a mature audience.
🌺 TRIGGER WARNINGS!
Should you choose to read Elixir Of The Sun, please keep in mind that:
- sexual violence is part of its story in terms of information (no scene is ever depicted but there is a close call regarding the main character in chapters 9 & 10)
- depictions of self inflicted injuries (the main character has healing blood and has to stab herself multiple times throughout the story)
- a failed un-aliving attempt in chapters 41 & 42. The main character was sleepwalking.
- In Chapters 110 - 115 there is a extreme depiction of excessive blood and violence but no gore is present.
Thankfully, the story doesn't force its plot to have these things as the main point, it merely uses these plot devices to reinforce and focus on the romance and subtle fantasy plot surrounding the bond of Bayan and Dhan.

Solo Leveling Characters and their Zodiac signs
*Heavily based on my headcanons for their ages and the Eastern/Chinese zodiac
Baek Yoon-Ho - Tiger
This should be obvious. However, I also headcanon him to be 34 (based on manhwa merch) rather than the game age of 37 he can't be that old
I will be using Baek Yoon-Ho's age to set everyone else's age
Choi Jong-In - Snake
This is based on how Baek Yoon-Ho calls Choi Jong-In a snake in the story. So if Choi Jong-In was born in the year of the snake, that would make him 31 (this is where I got his age from by the way)
This also fits into my previous headcanon that his age is somewhere between 28-32 (note that I'm ignoring the in-game age)
Min Byung-Gyu - Monkey
If Yoon-Ho is 34, and Min Byung-Gyu is 28 (stated in-game), then this would make Min Byung-Gyu be born in the year of the monkey.
Also based on this tweet (Long story short, Min Byung-Gyu is called a "gorilla-type healer" (based on a sketchy translator))
Lee Ju-Hee - Rabbit
The game says she's 22, but the novel says that she's 21, so I'll be going with 21
Scaling from Min Byung-Gyu's age, this would make Lee Ju-Hee a rabbit
Woo Jin-Chul - Rabbit
I headcanon Woo Jin-Chul to be 2 years older than Choi Jong-In, which would put him at 33 (he's rather young in the game when the novel states that he is older than that)
He's rather similar to a rabbit too. Just the vibe
Liu Zhigang - Rooster
Based on lobyu's headcanon that he is six years older than Woo Jin-Chul
Also, the rooster suits him. There's also a dragon, though that would make him rather young
Lim Tae-Gyu - Rat
So if Baek Yoon-Ho is 34, and Lim Tae-Gyu is 36 (from the game), then Lim Tae-Gyu would be born in the year of the rat
It's kind of fitting. Also just the vibes
Sung Jin-Woo - Rat
Based on how the other ages have been calculated, if Sung Jin-Woo is 24, then he would be a rat
Very accurate in my opinion-
Cha Hae-In - Ox
Cha Hae-In is 23, one year younger than Sung Jin-Woo, which would make her an ox
Strong woman has a strong animal
Park Hee-Jin - Dog
Park Hee-Jin is 26 according to the game, making her born in the year of the dog
Lost puppy energy. Very cute
Go Gun-Hee - Goat
Had to do some math to get there, but if he's 87, then he's a goat
Wise energy. And will kick your a-
Go Gun-Hee = GOAT (credits to manawari)
Sung Jin-Ah and Han Song-Yi - Snake
Assuming they are the same age and Han Song-Yi is 19 according to the game, they're both snakes
Accurate with how Jin-Ah teases Jin-Woo and based on Song-Yi's personality at first
