minor subtitle translation thing that makes me sad:
in japanese dramas when they say いただきます (itadakimasu) and the subtitles translate it as bon appétit
that’s not what it means :( that’s not what they’re saying :( i understand logically it’s an okay translation but it’s not quite the same meaning :( it’s more like ‘thank you for this meal’ or ‘i will enjoy this meal’ bon appétit is more like ‘cheers to the food’
i don’t know the vibes just don’t feel right between these two phrases

So I will watch all the way to the end of the series, but I need to know (because I'm incredibly impatient and can't wait): what exactly happens to Kai at the end of Fermat's Cuisine? I know he's sick but does he leave like to get better or is it implied that he passes away?

This is a BL adjacent question, so no pressure to answer if it's too off topic! But I was watching "Because This is My First Life" last night and it dawned on me that the main pairing seems very tsundere/sunshine. Is that even a thing in het pairings? I know we often complain about the seme/uke dynamic being problematic in the heterosexual assumptions...which made me wonder -- Do het pairings in Asian dramas have the same tropes?
Do Het Kdramas & BLs Use the Same Tropes & Archetypes
Sure do.
Due to benevolent sexism (another thing I complain about all the time) some pairings are much less common in het than BL (sunshine m + tsundere f) but they still happen (see: Happiness, Decedents of the Sun, When the Camellia Blooms.
Grumpy(tsundere) m + sunshine f is super common (Gogh, Secretary Kim, Business Proposal). Probubly the most common, because it plays into traditional stereotypes: the man is reserved, closed-off, and stern, the woman is warm, loving, and cheerful (also endearingly clumsy).
Honestly, clumsy-bunny trope might be working it's way around to being one of my least favorites. (I gotta stop watching Cdramas).
One of the reasons I like noona romances so much is because the woman is given a... how to put this?... more masculine form of agency and autonomy, for a Kdrama.
Kdrama's also really love the suffering plucky heroine (which we see less often in BL) although I feel like My Ride served us this. So like Heirs, Run-On, Camellia. I kinda like this archetype but it's more common in older Japanese stuff. And also can lean into bullying and the whipping boy/girl trope pretty quickly. That’s a bit old fashioned for most modern audiences. So again, only really Japan these days. With the exception of Boys Over Flowers, I suppose.
There ARE certain visual tropes that seem to mostly belong to BL but never completely, so far as I can tell. But we got: clear umbrellas (the hets got the colored ones), peeling shrimp, pink milk, engineering gears & smocks, and a few other things you’ll see tumblr joke about in terms of “cute boy summoning circles.”
Generally speaking any heterosexually dysmorphic tropes we see visually represented in BL (seme forehead kisses uke but uke cheek kisses seme) come from het Asian romance drama tropes. Or at the very least are intimately tied together.

mini-reviews of bl dramas watched (part 7)
A MAN WHO DEFIES THE WORLD OF BL 2
here's my issue with this whole BL: it's.so.boring. like does anything happen?? NO. it's just mob and his internalized homophobia. (why does he not want to be in a relationship with a boy so much??? is it the phobia and stigma that comes with liking someone of the same sex?? LIKE WHAT IS THE REASON?? maybe i'm just not watching this show closely but fuck it; it shouldn't be watched closely.) also, YMMV and everything but there's no charm to it like in Cherry Magic or Old Fashion Cupcake. it's just mob and his No Homo all day everyday.
they are trying to cram character growth and romantic development into three very short eps and, imho, i don't think it works?? yes, it pokes fun at BL tropes, but i think that's the only good thing it does because i just don't care about these characters. well, that's not true, i do care about kikuchi and mob but then i'm inundated with all these minor characters that we're wasting time on when we could be focusing on kikuchi and mob. i just want the freakin' show to focus on them, but it doesn't and so i'm frustrated. maybe i just don't like self-referential shows?? this bl and I didn't vibe and that's okay but i feel like some people rate it more highly than it should be. (also, i don't remember what happened in either season, that's how much this bored me. well, i remember mob was in the hospital for some scenes but that's all...)
i do love the beauty and the beast-esque instrumental music and the opening/closing themes so very much tho. 6.5/10
CHERRY BLOSSOMS AFTER WINTER
so beautifully filmed and happy and fluffy. this isn't a drama that says a lot, or is deep in any way really, but taesung and haebom were adorable (there is a bit of Drama with the mother--the sole guardian/parent of these two boys--not approving of their relationship at first, but she comes around, and i do like that that part is realistic). a simple story told semi-realistically (there was no dreaded last minute break up, thank goodness, and it seemed to avoid most cliches found in kdramas).
the chemistry for these two is so-so for me; it wasn't necessarily bad, but i also didn't really buy into their relationship. here's my whole issue: besides a couple of almost steamy kisses, and romantic touching, this isn't a show that focuses a lot on the physical side of things. and that's okay! some loving, romantic relationships don't revolve around sex at all, and to each their own, but well, it just seemed to me that this show erred too much on the platonic side of things (the show really tried to tell me that these two weren't horny for each other at all, without explicitly also stating they were asexual, which i might've bought if they showed the two leads having any kinda conversation about sex, even while sleeping in the same bed, but they didn't so i didn't buy two college students being so very chaste in their relationship). 7.5/10
THE EIGHT SENSE
this was very beautiful in the story line and cinematography and everything, although the choppy camerawork grated on my nerves at times, and so did the jump cuts (i get that it was an experimental style of filming, but up to this point all KBLs have mostly been very polished pieces, except for certain parts of blueming as well, so it's jarring to see it in a piece that's been afforded a much longer run-time. also, for example, some scenes were quite noisy where i expected it to be super silent, so this felt very realistic in that regard, but again, so jarring). these are very, very minor quibbles in what was essentially a bl so beautiful and pure and amazing, tho.
the slow burn of it all was wonderful as was the chemistry between all the character. there was one drunk kiss between the leads that they never talk about again so the whole bl is them becoming friends AND then becoming lovers so i appreciated that while they both had a connection with each other right from their first meeting, it wasn't only about the lust between them, but about how these two different people came together when they needed each other the most and provided a safe harbor for each other. jaewon's therapist harped a lot on jihyun being jaewon's refuge and safe place but i think he was the same thing for jihyun and i think that's why they worked so well together considering they came from different backgrounds.
the minor/supporting characters were also a delight to watch (esp. jihyun's group of friends contrasted with jaewon's friends who felt very fake and like they were only jaewon's "friends" bc his dad was super rich--excluding yoon won who was the best).
i did wish for more beautiful, tender, cute boyfriend moments (seriously the latter half of the show was so much angst topped with angst and i understand why, narratively it made sense for a character like jaewon who had so much trauma in his life he was trying to live through every day), but i also really loved what we got.
i would definitely love a second season or even the two leads appearing in another bl (i know korea doesn't do branded pairs/fan-service like other countries but it's also not entirely out of the realm of possibility). 9/10
OUR DATING SIM
i was initially hesitant to start this bc the summary made it seem so cringey and gave me secondhand embarrassment re: the rejection and then ep 2 clears everything up: IT WAS ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING. and then we enter the miscommunication era that lasts a whole seven years. sigh. it's a good thing i don't mind the miscommunication trope.
this was so cute and fluffy and adorable and overall we got a lot of the story told in flashbacks, which i like, when the flashbacks are utilized in a good way and they definitely are here. this is a combo of friends to lovers and high school romance combined with office romance and the tropes are delicious. lee wan does the chasing at first, then the miscommunication happens, and then shin gi tae does the chasing in their adult lives and i like when it switches up like that. the two actors' chemistry is very believable and it's easy to believe they are totally in love. the series was short of course, but, the upside of that was that it forced shin gi tae to be very straightforward and direct with his feelings; of course he was playing games for the first four or so eps because he was justifiably hurt by the abandonment of his best friend but once he leaves behind that hurt, there was no stopping him from pursuing lee wan. and lee wan also had to take some time to get used to the fact that shin gi tae liked him back, so it felt very realistic.
the pacing of this story was stellar too; nothing felt too rushed, there wasn't any filler, every scene moved the story along, and the conflict came from having to choose different paths, and miscommunication.
this was a kbl that didn't disappoint in any way (besides only being about eight eps and 15-18 minutes long). 9/10
PART 1/???, PART 2/???, PART 3/???, PART 4/???, PART 5/???,PART 6/???

Does anyone know if there are any eastern period dramas about lesbians? Gosh that's would be such a good story to read. The king's affection made me think about the type of plots I'd like to see.

I've been on one of my foreign drama kicks lately, because I'm bored with American television/steaming, and the thing I've learned about myself is I HAVE TO pause the show anytime it mentions the temperature in celcius so I can check the conversion. Also anytime it gives an amount of currency I need to look up the exchange rate so I have some reference. My silly brain won't let these things go.
You would think at some point I would just learn to convert temps in my head, but no, apparently I'm to old for that new trick.

~ Iburigurashi (Smoked Couple): Ep 1. Favorite Stills ~
~ A few weeks back, while on the hunt for a soothing J-drama, I decided to explore ‘Iburigurashi’—- the story about a young couple who spends their Sundays cooking smoked food. They learn from each other, not just through words but also through presence.
I think the beauty of daily life is captured so amazingly in such slow Japanese dramas. There’s a lot of room for reflection, for joy, for appreciating the grace of everyday.
This is the biggest reason why I love these shows. They are a hug to the tired mind and remind it to find happiness in the ordinary, once again.~ 🍚🍢
