Reason number 897 why The Devil Judge is actually a BL: it almost never gets mentioned in the kdramarecommends subreddit even when people are listing every other revenge/thriller/political/other-genre-that-fits drama under the sun.

June 2023 Movies/Shows Wrap-Up
A little monthly (spoilery!) wrap-up of all the shows, movies, and shorts I’ve watched or am watching in June 2023, general thoughts, and ranking of them all.
Recommendation of the month: I Go To School Not By Bus and We Are Gamily just cause they’re not as well known.
Ranking
The Devil Judge
Bloodhounds = The Eighth Sense
Our Skyy 2 = From Now On, Showtime! = I Go To School Not By Bus = We Are Gamily
Average Rating: 6.07/10 - D: so low this month
MDL Updates - Added to Watchlist:
A section because I’m curious about how many shows I decide to add to my Watch List a month and also the ratio of watching them:adding them.
My Name (2021): in some r/kdramarecommendations after finishing the devil judge
Bad Guys (2014): from this r/kdramarecommendations for heroes and villains who are both crazy
Bloodhounds (2023): It just released today (dropped all episodes on Netflix) and people are saying it has good action + fun bromance and is enjoyable, so I’ll watch it
Addicted Heroin (2016): idk it’s just one of the early BLs (from China no less, though there’s no proper ending I’m pretty sure) and people say there SA and isn’t healthy, so I’ll watch it when I’m in that mood
Some More (2018): I finished watching I Go To School Not By Bus and searched up tiktoks for it and kept coming across ones for this instead. I suppose it’s a trade-off; watch one short, add another. though i did have this on my radar already since it’s by Strongberry.
To Watch List At Start Of Month: 54
To Watch List At End Of Month: 49
Removed from To Watch List:
Removing these on June 30 because now that I’m getting into kpop as well, my interest in watching dramas isn’t as high and I know I’m probably not gonna get to these.
180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us (2022) - if I watch it, I might like it but I probably won’t end up watching
GAP (2022) - man I was really looking forward to this but ik people say it’s overdramatic and messy by the end and I don’t feel like it
Merry Queer (2022) - this has been on the list for a while but I always just skip it lol
Rak Diao (2022) - I almost started this multiple times but never ended up actually watching it, so I probably just won’t
Watching On-Air
Our Skyy 2
Country: Thailand
Release Dates: Apr 19, 2023 - June 8, 2023
Watch Via: GMMTV YT (free)

Rating: 6/10 [based on (6.5 + 5.5 + 6 + 5.5 + 6.5 + 6.5 + 6.5)/7 NLMG = MSP = BBSxATOTS > Eclipse > SIMM = Vice Versa]
Bad Buddy: Cute and fun and I love PatPran, so I wish there was a bit more of them than there actually was. It got boring toward the middle when they were separated and kept getting lost in the forest but I like them so much and also the tidbits of InkPa were great.
ATOTS: I do not care about these people. [6.5/10 for the last 2 weeks]

The Devil Judge (2021)
Country: South Korea
Release Dates: Jul 3, 2021 - Aug 22, 2021
Watch Via: Viki (free)
Watch Dates: June 1 - 5, 2023
Rating: 7.5/10 7/10 [Jan 25, 2024 Update: Decreased by 0.5 stars when rerating my top shows: 7.5 -> 7]
Overall Impression: Cool concept with the live court, I liked how it played with the viewers and the in-show audience. Ji Sung was a great actor to play Yohan, he's beautiful, he's charming, he's intimidating, he can play both arrogant and cute. Seonah my beloved, she was so clever and cunning and forward thinking and fearless, yet with hints of loneliness and care for young girls, she was a great villain ah <3 Gaon was fine to be honest, I think people were frustrated by him but I felt like his inability to trust Yohan made sense considering Yohan's a sick bastard and people who he trusted more distrust Yohan. I wish the girls Judge Oh and Suhyeon were given more depth and utility because they were very flat characters who had some usage sometimes but were often just out of the loop and had little impact on the narrative. Seonah x Yohan sicko dynamic is so good I love it so much. Suhyeon x Gaon could have really been bodyguard gf x princess bf but alas, they had like a day together after kissing lol. Yohan and Gaon were so homoerotic, like wow no kiss. I loved Yohan, Elijah, and Gaon so much. I'm heartbroken that in the end, Gaon is all alone without these 2, with a dead best friend and a traitor of a mentor being a judge in a system that's just as corrupt.

Bloodhounds
Country: South Korea
Release Dates: Jun 9, 2023
Watch Via: Netflix, so :>
Watch Dates: June 10 - 13, 2023
Rating: 6.5/10
Overall Impression: Good enough, especially the heart of episode 6 but not something I'll be thinking about at all. The characters didn't resonate a whole lot, this focused a lot on just fighting scenes (more than like strategizing, being clever, etc, which is usually what I'm a fan of), the defeat of the villains wasn't really satisfying at all - especially with how cruel episode 6 went down. Also, I don’t ship Geonwoo and Woojin, sadly.

From Now On, Showtime!
Country: South Korea
Release Dates: Apr 23, 2022 - Jun 12, 2022
Watch Via: Viki (paid, so :>)
Watch Dates: June 14 - 18, 2023
Rating: 6/10
Overall Impression: Funny and comedic with likable characters (even rancid characters like Yeji were charming to me). Nothing too deep, though it had some touching moments. Too much dramatic romance in the second half, I don't care about their royal/shaman past life tragedy and I think that made it kinda meh for me in the latter half.

The Eighth Sense
Country: South Korea
Release Dates: Mar 29, 2023 - Apr 26, 2023
Watch Via: Viki (paid, so :>)
Watch Dates: June 20 - 22, 2023
Rating: 6.5/10
Overall Impression: It was interesting and I think the show had a good grasp on characters and relationship dynamics and progression. I liked that there were friendships each character had and that they existed outside of just this relationship; even some of the friends existed outside of just being a friend, like Yonnwon was a whole human. The female friends were great, Yoonwon is a treasure and I liked how Aeri was so sweet but so mean sometimes, a very clever city girl type. Also, the tension and cute moments between Jihyun and Jaewon (esp in ep 6 and 10) were great. I think it's a good show that's done well but right now, it's not taking up much brain space and it also didn't make me viscerally feel anything.

I Go to School Not by Bus
Country: Hong Kong
Release Dates: 2015
Watch Via: GagaOolala (free)
Watch Dates: June 24, 2023
Rating: 6/10
Overall Impression: Man, I came across this short because of this tiktok of the bathroom kiss which haunted me, such a good edit, but the actual scene T.T This reminds me of Your Name Engraved Herein with the school boys who are plagued by homophobia at school, though interestingly, one of the characters was out to everybody from the beginning here. The homophobic teachers and the weird shouty fangirls who outed them and obsessed over them were sooo dislikeable and took up too much time in this 35-minute video. It was cute, it was sad, it had the indie vibes that so many of these queer shorts have. The ending wasn’t necessarily happy but it wasn’t tragic, at least - though I feel like that specific scene was lower quality than the rest of the show in terms of production and acting.
Well fuck, I accidentally got into watching Boys Love Boys Planet podcast recap of all 12 episodes, then didn’t know the group at all but kinda felt like I did, then ended up actually watching some content and now I’ve reblogged 2 things, have been going through the reddit r/zerobaseone posts from the beginning (since it started just 2 months ago), am watching content, started my content index, the whole thing bruh. So my watching is gonna take a huge hit I can tell + my dreams of starting to read books again is a wisp now
We Are Gamily (2017)
Country: Taiwan
Release Dates: Jul 1, 2017
Watch Via: Youtube ;>
Watch Dates: June 28 - 30 2023
Rating: 6/10
Overall Impression: Another gay-lesbian marriage after Badhaai Do with overbearing family, though this one is mostly mothers. I think the interactions are funny and how certain pairs agree and then agree with the other pair. I think the fact that the mother pretended to have pancreatic cancer which killed their father but nobody called her out on it kinda soured me though, I think I would’ve been even more touched if that wasn’t there. The ending was sweet and touching, though a bit sudden. The romance between the women was a bit too sudden like y’all barely know each other but it kinda feels like the opposite journey as in Badhaai Do where the man got a new bf lol. Anyway, pretty good.
I should prune my MDL to-watch list, especially since I’m gonna be watching stuff less frequently now.

RECOMMENDATION: Hospital Playlist
No of Episodes: 12
Current Ep: 7
Status: Ongoing
Personal Rating: 10/10
Warning: May consist spoilers
Plot: Tells the story of five doctors who have been friends since they entered medical school in 1999.
Korean medical drama mostly evolves in power struggle and doing what a Medical practitioner must do, with life lessons here and there. Almost all of the medical drama I have watched are skillfully done and has flawless and specific plot and character development that makes it thrilling to watch.
Hospital playlist on the other hand, although mostly showing the same compassionate concept as other medical dramas, gives a more realistic feels.
It portrays a more realistic status of a medical practitioner. What personal struggle they are facing, may it be with their personal life, health, colleagues and subordinates.
The only consistent pattern in this drama is how these five talented and compassionate doctors are trying to champion life by confiding to each other while playing music.
These kinds of ideas makes me love Korean dramas more. They continuously deliver contents that are close to home with fresh and innovative ways of story telling.
I am enjoying this feel-good drama right now.

A-Teen Season 2 RVW! (♡ω♡ ) ~♪ ***SPOILER-FREE DESU ( ◜‿◝ )*** Ahhhhh this breaks my heart 😭😭😭 Personally I was in love with this series from start to finish! My "Hatsukoi" K-Dramas 😭😭😭 AHHUM AHHUM. Saate saate. So A-Teen is a popular K-Drama that is the Adaptation of the Webtoons of the same name. Airing worldwide in 2018, A-Teen is a sequel to another famous teen K-Drama, Seventeen, BUT that's another topic*. A-Teen is a story that starts off with 6 High School Juniors (2nd years I believe?) who all have their own dreams & ambitions. But hey, they're still kids, okay? They're all in THAT age, where they gotta fall in love. Their cherished "Hatsukoi"!! For those of you who heard of it but didn't watch yet, you might think, "It's just an average everyday show about teens, what's new in that?" because frankly I really hope at least someone thinks that coz I actually have an answer for it 😓 For a common theme, it has one thing that most shows don't. A KICK-ASS theme song. HEAR ME OUT, okay? There's more! ... ... ... YEAH I GIVE UP I GOT NOTHING. To be honest, the 2 seasons of the show were fairly interesting, heartwarming relatable, & what got me hooked, was the theme song, I jus love it! ❤💯 I'd love to say so much more about season 2 but heck, watch it yourself & unveil the curtains of curiosity on your own! Rating: 10/10 ; Genre: Romance, Comedy, Slice of Life, Teen, High School. #shoutoutforshoutout (◕ᴗ◕✿) @pic source: Google Images @vid source: Personal #HelpMeGrow by Sharing my posts on your Stories! I'll give a Shout-Out to each n everyone one who does! ❤ @Excuse my tags: #ateen2 #ateen #kimhadoha #ateenreview #kdramarecommendation #kdramareview #kdrama #newpost #reviewgram #kdramagram #animegram #otakugram #instagramtoday #animenews #new #doctorwatsoever #instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B0x0M1QgNBQ/?igshid=8ojz4swgu4vk

Drama watching
I haven't posted in ages. I've tried to watch some dramas even though I haven't posted anything about what I've watched.
Then lately, over the last couple of months I hit a slump. I've tried probably 5 or 6 dramas and none of them held me but, I think it's me and not them.
I don't know why, since that's the first time ever, that I haven't found SOMETHING to reel me in.
Sort of a bummer really/ actually a huge bummer.
In the last few days though, I've been listening to some of my favorite kdrama soundtracks and feeling the beginnings of an excitement to choose a drama and start watching it. I think the slump is over, or soon to be over, and that makes me really happy.
I haven't decided which drama I'm going to choose. I subscribe to Viki (still miss dramafever SO MUCH 😥) and, you're looking at someone who will definitely go to kissasian when called for.
So here's to starting a drama soon, and all the feelings that come with knowing there's a drama waiting for me.

Sooooooo...this IG account began auto-following other accounts and not working correctly and I stopped using it for a bit and eventually completely forgot I had it, until I literally just came across it on someone else’s account today. 🤣 We’ll see if it will work now...if not I might restart elsewhere...will let you know how things go and if I am able to restructure this account or not! (Starting by unfollowing 6000 random accounts...) What dramas are you guys watching these days? #blackhatclub #kdrama #kdramas #kdramarecommendations https://www.instagram.com/p/CS2ttuWsxxv/?utm_medium=tumblr
