KPOP Haunted House/Scare Pranks

October 06, 2020 by Jessie in music, lists

If you don’t follow kpop, or you don’t follow it past listening to the music you are missing out on some prime content. One of those things is the scare pranks. I like these over the other “hidden video” pranks that are a thing in kpop entertainment. They tend to just be nicer cause it’s usually the members just hyping themselves up because of the unknown, as opposed to being blindsided with a real-life issue. They scream, they get over it, no real tears shed. So here’s a list of some of my favorites.

Spooky Japanese MVs

October 05, 2020 by Jessie in music, lists

Welcome to the start of the spooky Music Mondays for the month! Before we get to the list, I need to make some disclaimers. This inherently was hard to pick because I wanted the horror/spooky/eerie aspects to be coming from the music video visuals, as opposed to just the music. Because of this, I was very limited in the actual options that I could find. Just enjoy this list in its sometimes really terrible quality, ok? It’s hard being an International fan sometimes.

Friday Night Movie: Whispering Corridors

October 02, 2020 by Jessie in reviews, movies, movie review

When I first started this blog, I used to do Friday movie reviews. What better time to start them off than now. Today we are reviewing the 1998 Korean horror film, Whispering Corridors.

Ten Spooky Asian Dramas on Netflix/Amazon

October 01, 2020 by Jessie in lists

October has officially started, and I’m kicking off the month with a video recommending ten spooky Asian dramas that you can find on Netflix/Amazon. At least as of right now.

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.

buzzwordathon: night

September 29, 2020 by Jessie in books

I participated in the buzzwordathon, hosted by Books and Lala, and vlogged! Here’s the video in all it’s glory (there is also a DAY6 haul thrown in the middle cause I just am that way):

I also made a Spotify playlist to accompany the readathon, because of course I did:

October is soon!

First Impressions: Zombie Detective

September 27, 2020 by Jessie in reviews, first impressions

Going into this drama I was kind of wary. I was interested, but I didn’t know if the comedy would deter me. I’m sorry, most comedies just aren’t for me and can really hinder my enjoyment of a drama. I’m still on the fence about this one, but it does some things that are sort of interesting and had some unexpected moments.

Goodbye Summer

September 21, 2020 by Jessie in music, playlist

Summer officially ends tomorrow and while that means we get into the part of the year that I really love, I figured that I would leave you with one last summer playlist to end out the season. Here’s to all the things we wanted to do this summer but couldn’t cause of the state of the world.

Maybe things will be better next year, and we’ll able to use this playlist in the places it should be playing:

Tasting Notes: Tricot

September 14, 2020 by Jessie in music, spotlight

I haven’t done one of these small spotlights on a Japanese group yet, so I figured it was finally time. Today we are talking a bit about the female-led Japanese math rock band, Tricot.

Music Monday: 2PM + DAY6

September 07, 2020 by Jessie in music, music mondays

Instead of doing dedicated full out posts on 2PM and DAY6 in celebration of their anniversaries (which were separated by three days), I decided to combine the two and focus on some of the wonderful resources and things that the fandoms have been creating that I personally use and watch.

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.

No Sleep Album Review - The Book of Us: Gluon

August 31, 2020 by Jessie in music, album reviews

I would normally not do this but against my better judgment I, in my no sleep state, will be reviewing the album. I’m sure that when I go sleep and come back to this post I’ll see that no sentence makes any sense and all my interpretations are wrong, but this is what we’ve decided to do.

Dreamcatcher: Five Main / Five Special MVs

August 17, 2020 by Jessie in music

In honor of Dreamcatcher’s comeback today, here’s a list of my top five favorite main music videos, and my top five special/b-side music videos.

Mixtape: Run to You

August 03, 2020 by Jessie in music, playlist

What started out as insomnia-fueled spree (I’m really active on Twitter at 5am these days) turned into a quest to finally try to collect as many songs as I could remember from my high school anime days and put them on one Spotify list.

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).
