July Dramas '21
Hey remember last monthly wrap-up where I was feeling great and had things all planned out? Ha. Those are fun times. You would think at this point I would shut my mouth and not say anything because I know that it doesn’t matter that I thought I had a great thing going that I would completely ruin it the next month. I didn’t get to any of the dramas I wanted to this month, and now that it’s Olympics time I’m going to be even more behind. However, August doesn’t have anything that I want to watch - so positive catch up time? Just learn to never trust me. Ever.
Completed
I’ve been watching a lot of movies, however, I’m not going to go into detail about those. If you want to know the movies I’ve watched, check out my Letterboxd diary and let me know in the comments if it would be beneficial talking about the ones that I haven’t made a dedicated review for.
Coma - 코마: I reviewed this so if you want to know my thoughts, check out here. Spoiler alert: I really liked it.
Kingdom - 킹덤: I had every intention of watching both seasons in time for Ashin, and like the good failure I am I only got through the first season. I did like it, which wasn’t something I thought I wouldn’t. However, I did want this to be scarier. I know that zombies in general scare people, but the way they do a lot of the zombie parts are about the same as war fight scenes. I’m sure this is intentional, but I do think that maybe if you are not watching it because you think it’d be scary, maybe you’d be ok with this? It has a lot of downtime not with the zombies, and really the gore is in line with a lot of those epic war movies.
Penance - 贖罪: I picked this drama up purely on a whim, entirely by-passing all the other dramas that I had to watch. Ha. I was going through the streaming site Tubi looking for movies and realized that they also had Asian dramas and saw this jdrama sitting there and figured I’d check it out. It’s a small series, only five episodes, so it was easier to pick up.
Currently Watching
Voice 4: I’m behind on this, but I’m glad that it is officially over so that I don’t have to wait on subs.
Hospital Playlist 2: Again, behind but as it only posts once a week (and they are already a week behind because of Olympics/Covid) I’m not too terribly behind.
You Are My Spring: I wasn’t expecting to pick this one up, it just happened.
Kingdom 2: I’ve already started this!
Masters Sun: Maybe I’m watching this for a specific thing hint hint.
