May Dramas '21

June 01, 2021 by Jessie in monthly wrap up, dramas

I didn’t do one of these for the month of April because I really didn’t have anything to talk about, but I’ve been slowly getting back on track for this month and have been watching a good amount - especially towards the end of May. I’ve been trying to focus on catching up on some of the airing dramas that are nearing the end to get them out of the way for dramas I’ve put on hold. This month I don’t have a lot of airing shows, so my schedule is a bit free - outside of all of my Summer Horror craziness.

It’s been nice to get into the groove of watching again. I’ve talked about this in the past, but when I get into a not-so-great headspace, I don’t keep up with the things I enjoy. Dramas take a back seat. If you want to know what I’m currently watching, I’m fairly good at updating on MyDramaList and Letterboxd. Follow me on one of those places to really get a sense of what I’m doing.

Completed
I know. It’s painfully small.

Thirteen - サーティーン: It’s been a while since I actually finished this one, but it’s a quick and short binge if you are looking for one. I haven’t watched the show it’s based on, so I can’t tell you if it stays true but I enjoyed it.
Voice 1 - 보이스: I had planned to finish this months ago, but I failed miserably. But powered through it and finished it over the weekend. I have plans to watch the other two seasons in the next couple of weeks before the premiere. I enjoyed most of it. It had some weird parts in the storyline that I didn’t care for, and would have loved it to be more of a procedural with the overarching storyline, cause it would have been interesting to see the emergency line be an actual emergency line - but the story really didn’t allow for that and I understand.

Currently Watching
A lot of these I may not be prioritizing at the moment, but these will be my priorities to (very hopefully) finish this month. All of the airing dramas on this list end this month, and I really need to get the next seasons of Voice done before Voice 4.

Sherlock: The Untold Stories - シャーロックアントールドストーリズ: I feel like I always have at least one jdrama on my list that’s just hanging out.
Dark Hole - 다크홀: The first two episodes were magically straight out of an X-Files episode.
Sell Your Haunted House - 대박부동산: The surprise favorite of the group.
Taxi Driver - 모범택시: I haven’t gotten to the writer switch yet, but am enjoying this.
Youth of May - 오월의 청춘: I’m going to be obsessed with this one.
Voice 2 - 보이스 2: I’m hopeful that this is as good as the first season.
Voice 3 - 보이스 3: Same for this one.
Law School - 로스쿨: I haven’t watched past episode one, hoping that the murder mystery plot stays keeping me interested.

New Dramas/Movies

Jun 17 Hospital Playlist 2 - 슬기로운 의사생활++ // tvN (Netflix)
Not going to lie, I’ve been needing a drama like Hospital Playlist to come out. Glad it’s finally here.

Jun 18 Voice 4 - 보이스4: 심판의 시간 // tvN (seasons 1&2, VIKI has it in coming soon)
I’m not doing these massive Voice binges during the weekends for nothing. Hopefully, by the time this airs I will be caught up with the other seasons and can start this when it drops.

Jun N/A Whispering Corridors 6: The Humming - 여고괴담 여섯번째 이야기: 모교 // movie
I haven’t read too much into the plot of this one (trying to avoid spoilers) but I’m pretty positive that it’s going to be a reboot of the first movie. And it stars Kim Seo Hyung, so I’m already going to want to watch it. This has actually been completed for about a year now, it was scheduled to be released last year but because of Covid it had to suffer delays. I don’t actually think this will be available to watch (pretty sure this is a theatrical release), but figured it was worth mentioning.

Jun N/A Midnight - 미드나이트 // movie
I have a special spot for Jin Ki Joo since Come and Hug Me and she hasn’t really been in anything lately that I’ve wanted to watch. I saw this trailer and knew that I needed to watch it. Will it be available to watch with subs? Probably not, but this is my plea that it somehow lands somewhere I can watch. I’m fairly positive TVing has picked it up.

February Dramas '21

February 28, 2021 by Jessie in monthly wrap up, dramas

Since the month had so many premiers, it was a slow month in progress. As of writing this, I haven’t even finished my plan of watching the first season of Voice. Hopefully, since some of the dramas are ending and some I just didn’t jive with, I’ll be able to catch up. I really want to finish all of those seasons before the 4th one comes out.

November Dramas

December 01, 2020 by Jessie in monthly wrap up

I can’t believe it’s already December. There are a lot of dramas that have just started, and more that will happen this month. I think my watching list is about to get a bit crazy.

October Dramas

November 01, 2020 by Jessie in monthly wrap up

As expected I didn’t get too much drama watching this month, so this wrap up will be a little movie heavy. There isn’t a lot happening next month so I think this is the time that I need to focus on getting things completed and off of my watch list before the year end. I’ll also have a separate post dedicated to the readathon I’ve been a part of for the past few weeks later this week, so if you’re curious what I read for that, check back in a couple of days.

September Dramas

September 30, 2020 by Jessie in monthly wrap up

October is going to be a little crazy so I don’t know how much watching I’ll be doing. As it is my favorite time of the year I decided that if I was stuck inside might as well make the best of it. While I’m not participating in any events like Vlogtober, I will be doing a version of that. Between the blog and videos I will be posting almost every day. It’ll all be themed for the season. So if you are into horror, and all things creepy that focus on Asian entertainment (and probably some non-Asian things, to keep things wild), make sure to check back tomorrow!

Now, onto the wrapup of last month’s watching.

August Dramas

September 01, 2020 by Jessie in monthly wrap up

Another month has passed, and I actually watched and completed a good amount of dramas.

July Wrap up - August Dramas

August 01, 2020 by Jessie in currently watching

July FLEW by. I watched a fair amount, I was supposed to read a fair amount but didn’t. Such is life. This might be fairly long, so grab a drink and let’s talk about how July went, and talk about some of the things that I will be doing in August (it’s a lot).

June 2020 Dramas

May 31, 2020 by Jessie in books, monthly wrap up

This month actually flew by, how? Here we are with another month of dramas and I *shock* not only watched a lot, I also have some books to talk about since I didn’t update about them in my last post. I know. Who am I.

May 2020 Dramas/TBR

May 10, 2020 by Jessie in monthly wrap up, books

Little….ok a lot late. But still. It’s here: May dramas

Another week, more news and videos to talk about.

october wrapup

November 06, 2019 by Jessie in monthly wrap up

This month’s tbr/w is a bit late, as it’s been a rough start to the month and I haven’t really been present. Also this month I’m doing things a bit different. My schedule has been a lot less forgiving for being able to make time to watch all the dramas I want, and I’ve also had some mental periods that have effected my watching times.
