At this point, this is currently just somewhere I log what I am viewing. Finite amount of time in the day and too many other distractions is leading to sporadic use of the journal.

I have finished season 2 of The Witcher. Liked it enough that I will watch the next one when it comes.

Also up to episode 6 of Blue Period which is a Japanese animation on Netflix.

One I am not so sure about so far is The Silent Sea (also Netflix), just watched episode 1 so far.

Hope anyone that sees this post is doing well.

Have switched to try a Korean drama for a bit. I have now finished the first two episodes of Hometown Cha Cha Cha and so far it is mellow and enjoyable.

The drama seems to have captured my attention. I seem to have reached episode 27 already. Oops? 😂

Pesky thing called work is slowing down the binge watching but that is probably a good thing.

Other things that I have watched include the documentary about The Loneliest Whale in the World and also the first part of In The Soop 2 with BTS.

Bit if a mixed bag but all good.

Do I watch it... I have seen people raving about it and others screaming about it.

Haven't watched a k-drama for a little while.

Well, I am still not watching anything new but I did dig out an old favourite on DVD.

Hopscotch is from 1980 and stars Walter Mattha, Glenda Jackson, Herbert Lom and others. It is definitely dated but I still adore it. 👍👍

Well, so much for remembering to update during my latest re-watch, I think we can call that an epic fail. 😂

Still don't like grumpy uncle Lan. Elder of the twin jades was less vexing this time around and younger one remains a secret bunny loving ball of mush that should get all the hugs.

I continue to adore Wei Ying wholeheartedly but understand that Lan Zhan has first dibs.

Everyone else was much of a muchness on this latest viewing, liked the ones I liked and was annoyed by the ones that annoyed me before.

I think my only true surprise was that I found Nie Huisang creepier this time around. Last re-watch didn't hit me the same way so I was somewhat surprised by that reaction.

In other news, I am still watching/listening to BTS and having a ball doing so.

Should any random person be reading this, I hope life is treating you well.

Well, back to the beginning I went. I forgot how much I loved this show.

The start should still come with a warning that things will make more sense soon-ish.

The baby Lan cultivators are so new and shiny it is like they squeak if they turn the corner too fast.

It also amazes me how 'the man with the fan' is so blatantly there and how I overlooked him so completely on my first viewing of the show.

The two main leads remain shiny and pretty. I know I have much emotional turmoil to come but it shall be worth it. Still love the soundtrack an inordinate amount as well.

My loose target for myself is to get to say episode 10 by the end of the weekend.

I need a better method of viewing things, that is the realisation that I have come to. 😂

Guardian re-watch -- Shen Wei is chained to a pillar and nobly enduring.

Douluo Continent -- I have just finished episode 27?! Still supremely odd and slightly silly but I am liking it.

Nirvana in Fire -- tried to give this a go again, stalled on episode 3.

BTS Bon Voyage Season 1 -- ready to watch epiosode 5.

Guardian re-watched paused temporarily as the new BTS album BE was released on November 20th. I might possibly have been having a ball listening to ALL the BTS music and watching music videos for a week.

I shall return to other behaviour of a geeky nature next week.

For those even remotely interested, the new BTS album was conceived/recorded during the pandemic and I do recommend that you give the songs a listen (there are only seven plus 1 skit of the band talking/laughing) and then look up the lyrics. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you hear/read. Entirely up to you, though.

Hope everyone is having an awesome November (or as awesome as you can).

The last few months have been predominantly focussed on listening to music and reading rather than watching things but I have eventually managed to finish Itaewon Class so I decided I was in the mood to revisit some noble pining.

Having decided that the suggestion of trobadora was a wise one, I have now rewatched the first two episodes of Guardian... I missed this show. The craziness is only surpassed by the pining of the pretty, pretty young men.
