“Physical 100” is such a crazy concept to me because if you were to make an American equivalent to the show, you could end up with an episode where NBA’s Steph Curry gets into a wrestling match with NFL’s Brock Purdy. Or the YouTuber “Yoga with Adrienne” wrestling with WWE’s Becky Lynch.

i miss the time true beauty was ongoing.
i remember it so vividly. by the time i started watching it the 6th ep was out & i only started it because i needed an escape. i wasn't a regular kdrama watcher back then. i was at a really bad place mentally and i needed something to keep me busy from overthinking, since i couldn't bring myself up to study or go out. so i decided to start watching it and it became my comfort drama. ive watched it 3 times in total, one back in january of 2021, one during the 2021-2022 school year when i needed comfort and i'm rewatching it now, during my last year of high school for comfort.
i just remember everything so vividly. i remember the fandom going crazy abt being team seojun or team suho, i remember slandering jukyung for choosing suho over seojun, i remember being head over heels for seojun and crying so hard not just because of the drama, but also because it was ending. i haven't cried this bad over anything. true beauty coming to an end was the most painful thing i have experienced and it was the first ever time i cried over a show/movie/drama.
i miss those days, i miss han seojun, i miss the time when the fandom was alive and i miss true beauty.

I’m watching the Korean version of “Designated Survivor” for the first time. Based on the first episode, it’s…surprisingly better? It follows the story of the original show, but it felt like the Korean team had a better grasp of the story than the Americans. What I mean is:
1) Park Mu-Jin feels more thought out than Tom Kirkman. In this version, you just had a feeling that this guy should NOT be President. Which is not a bad thing, it’s a sign of good character development. Mu-Jin is a good man and extremely intelligent…but he’s clumsy, has severe anxiety, and has no political sense. Don’t get me wrong, Kiefer Sutherland was good, but I never really saw him as the helpless underdog (maybe it’s because I couldn’t see him as anything but Jack Bauer). In the Korean version, you just feel extremely sorry for this guy and that South Korea is screwed under his leadership.
2) The seamless transition to Korean politics. You just get a sense that the Korean team knew how to make their version of the show work. The move from discussing Muslim terrorism to North Korea/the Korean War doesn’t feel forced at all. While not necessarily an improvement on the original, it shows that the writers were thinking hard about how to handle the change in setting and politics.
(Side note: The fear that the Koreas are going to go to war is a LOT scarier than the turmoil in the original show, imo)
3) The slower pace led to better characterization, especially for Park Mu-Jin (see above).
Overall, great first episode.

A work in progress. Yim Siwan as Yoon Jongwoo in Strangers From Hell.
And you’ve noticed it
There is something right here
You have come to love,
yes you’ve come to love
What you always will fear

Woojin being fond and exasperated but unfazed by and even proud of Gunwoo’s “heart of a boxer.”
These two really. Their relationship is truly something to die for. Woojin unconditionally supporting Gunwoo’s decision. That soft, knowing smile, knowing that Gunwoo did not and would not betray his ideals. Knowing they deserve to have that money after everything they went through but still being fond and unsurprised as Gunwoo turned it down.
Recall, this is the same guy who risked his life for money inside a safe because there were “billions on the line.”
These two I swear.
Everyone go watch Bloodhounds! You won’t be disappointed.
