I like dramas.

i recommend you watch ‘because this is my first life’ (이번 생은 처음이라)– i can’t guarantee you’ll like it, but i’m suggesting it because i think there’s a good chance you will. others may see it differently, but i found the first two episodes really impressive in addressing cultural norms, gender roles, and self-reflection/development. kind of like misaeng, but not nearly as emo and serious (yet, at least)

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! And I fully plan to watch it, but I can only live-watch one or two dramas at a time, unless I want to leave partially-watched dramas scattered in my easily distracted wake. For dramas I want to watch and actually finish it’s best I wait until they’re completed because I rarely lose momentum when binging.

I was feeling all proud and self-congratulatory that I’ve kept to my promise to only start one new drama during the premiere hell week, thus showing self-restraint of the highest order.

Until I remembered that (a) we’re still only a little over halfway through the premieres; (b) I haven’t found subs for Avengers Social Club and will likely break down over the weekend and watch it raw anyway because I need to see my queens Lee Yo Won and Ra Mi Ran; ( c) the weekend dramas were the most appealing to me anyway after the Weds/Thurs shows; (d) I literally spent 20 hours watching a drama over the past three days; therefore I am (e) a total hypocrite.

Was running out of the house because I had the early shift (6am, groan) and also knew I had to stop for gas or else stall out on the highway.

Which means that of course something was forgotten like my lunch (aka breakfast because lbr I am not hungry at 5am or earlier). As well as putting on lotion after my shower.

Get to work and I feel like a dried up sponge but the only thing I have in my purse is Tony Moly Pikachu hand cream so now my face is soft but I smell like honey vanilla (or whatever sweet scent this is).
