1. Hawkeye - Started this last year but finished it last week because I was watching it with Jacqui so we left the last episode until we were both back from the holidays. It was fun. A nice mesh of the Fraction comics and the MCU version of Clint. Kate was awesome.
2. The Witcher Season 2 - Despite the fact I could barely remember anything that happened in season 1 I still very much enjoyed this. Jaskier continues to be a delight. Henry Cavill's arms, also delightful.
3. Tale of the Nine-Tailed - I loved this! Full of Korean mythology and folklore, an excellent female lead, and a side character I got very attached to. I didn't think I was overly emotionally invested and then I bawled through the finale. So good.
4. Kieta Hatsukoi (My Love Mix-Up) - This was adorable. It was very silly, and a lot of the drama could have been avoided if the characters had just talked to each other, but I haven't watched a bl drama in ages and overall it was very sweet.
5. You Make Me Dance - Short but very sweet. I really enjoyed it.
6. Wandavision - I have kind of fallen out with Marvel over recent years so aside from Hawkeye I haven't felt any real urge to watch any of the live action shows. My housemate suggested we watch this, though, and even thought she'd already seen it she watched it with it. It was good! I enjoyed it. I do love Paul Bettany and it was nice to see his actual face for a few episodes rather than the prosthetics.
7. Street Dance of China Season 4 - This actually finished last year and we've been waited ages for the final episode to be subbed but apparently they just aren't doing that. They partially subbed 2/3 of the finale (just the captains' comments) and didn't bother with the final 1/3 at all. So, we muddled through and tried our best to figure out what was happening. It's fun, I do enjoy watching all the dancing and you do end up getting attached to some of the contestants.
8. Falcon and the Winter Solider - I absolutely loved this! It's my favourite of all the live action MCU shows that we've watched so far. It had a bunch of great characters, great characters, interesting plots. Loved it. They managed to cram a lot into 6 episodes and it was excellent!
9. My Roommate is a Detective - I enjoyed this. It took me a little while to warm up to the characters and the ending wasn't quite what I wanted but overall a good and fun show
10. Color Rush - This was a really interesting idea (some people can only see in black and white until they meet their 'probe' which is a person that lets them see colour). They really needed a lot more time than 8 15 minute episode. They skimmed over a lot of the world building and left a few plothole. I did enjoy it, I just wanted a lot more of it.
The Rest )

26. Moon Knight - This is my least favourite of all the Marvel live action shows. Which is weird, because Oscar Isaac. I don't know it just didn't click with me at all. Maybe because I didn't know the character at all prior to watching and they had to cram a lot into 6 episodes.

Following on from this post I am still chatting with the k-pop reactor who DM'd me on Sunday. He's so funny. I was up way too late again last night because I couldn't stop laughing. We've kind of moved on from talking about the Filipino boys to just chatting about music in general. Having fun.

But, I did finally check out the Filipino group that started all this and they're pretty good! They're not quite as refined as the k-pop groups I follow because they don't have the stupid amounts of money invested in them the way k-pop idols do.

I think this is my favourite song of theirs that has an associated music video. Haven't had time to listen to the album yet. I think this might have been their first release? Not sure.



Apparently they started off as a dance troupe and then decided to be a boy group instead. Considering they initially weren't intended to sing their voices are pretty good!

Their music seems to cover a variety of genres, and there's only 5 members of the group so it's been pretty easy to learn their names and who is who.

The fanbase continues to be VERY enthusiastic. I livetweeted my experiences watching all their music videos last night (they're a new group so there's not that many videos) and the number of likes and retweets everything got was intense. I'm not used this sort of attention in the music fandom I have to say.

So it's continuing to be an interesting experience.
