The Problematic of the Unproblematic

Anne: Happy Tuesday everyone! Well...my week went by in flurry of work and craziness that will probably continue until next year. It really was never a good idea to have a client meeting as one of the first thing Monday morning. After the meeting this week, where we didn't even finish discussing the agenda, I needed a drink. I had to schedule another hour for later this week with the hope that we can finish. Sigh... at least the end of the year is coming, and despite all the stuff that I still need to do...such as complete my written feedback for my team, the forced holidays will at least slow some stuff down. Isn't this a bit sad? I really need a cure for my work-a-holic sickness. Anyway... remember last week when I went through some of my favorite dramas of the year, and I said that if nothing unusual happens, then this year ended with a short list of dramas that caught my attention. Well...let's talk about my current obsession... Blossom This was certainly a surprise at ...

Anne: Hope everyone in the US had a good Thanksgiving break! Goodness... where did all the time go? At least on my end, it all ended up in my work. And...my little hobby of building these miniature "houses". Here's my latest large project. I actually completed another one that I didn't take a picture yet. This latter one is a bday/Christmas present for my mother-in-law. So...yes, I've been spending a lot of time at work and on this silly and sometimes very frustrating hobby of mine.  Between the last time I posted and now, a ton of stuff came out. Seems like everyone is trying to get to air before the end of the year. The problem is there hasn't been another show that has caught my interest... so...while I've been building my little miniature fantasy empire, the thing running in the background are the YouTube short dramas.  Let run through some of the shows that aired... and my first impression of them. The Land of Warriors Of all the season 2 that I was a...

SHUK: This episode was a rollercoaster of emotions, including both squee and disgust. Still, we soldier on to our (hopefully) happy ending. Trotwood: I'm not going to lie, I'm not sure that I would have continued with this show until all the epsiodes were out if I hadn't already read the webcomic and hoped for a good resolution. I kept saying to myself over and over "they can't change the ending, right?" EPISODE 12 We begin this episode with a Ji-won flashback, where she always, even as a kid, worried about her father and the hard work he would do just to keep the two of them with a roof over her head. Yet despite this, Ji-won was still subject to village gossip about her mother. One day after school, she followed him, only to find him following his wife as she cavorted with another man. Poor Ji-won! Poor dad, too. He seems like such a kind man. I'm not saying that the mom should have stayed married to him just because he was kind, but it seems like she di...

Anne: Hello Drama Lovers! For those who missed Halloween last week...here's a haunted house for everyone to enjoy. The little boy had a great trick-or-treat...all his friends showed up at the house...but his costume made him a little slow...the "walk" was hilarious and super cute because of the way the costume was made, he shuffled...with fast-tiny steps. He was very insistent on doing everything by himself. But his visual field was impaired. So as he tries to catch up with his friends, he fell flat on his face at one point, into some small bushes. He wasn't hurt. It was cute and funny at the same time. Obviously, the cushion of air inside the costume helped. And them mom and dad had an adult night's out. And I took half a day off Friday morning... And now let's take a look at the one new show that I caught in the last two weeks. Love Game in The Eastern Fantasy This popped up on my app list over the weekend (the apps that I haven't looked through in a whi...
