A Productive Day Off

hilsI actually had a pretty productive day off yesterday considering how tired I was.
The stream of The Untamed for my friend's birthday on Wednesday night was a lot of fun. I'd forgotten how damn beautiful that show is. Within 5 minutes of the first episode I had tears in my eyes just over how stunning the whole production is. The Untamed was the first cdrama I ever watched and although other shows have captured my heart since (looking at you, Guardian) there's no denying that The Untamed is special both for me personally and overall in terms of production value and quality.
Before I went grocery shopping yesterday I was chatting with my friend Sarah on WhatsApp about Love and Redemption because it is definitely the sort of show she would enjoy. The topic turned to writing and she was saying she was struggling to get to the end of her current Untamed work in progress. I explained that I finished one nearly 2 months ago and was struggling to get it edited. We decided to have a writing/editing sprint to see if that would motivate us and it actually worked! I'm over halfway through editing my fic now and she managed to connect the two existing scenes she had so we both made progress. We're going to do it again this afternoon which, if I carry on the way I did yesterday, means I might actually get finished. Then I just need to find a beta.
I also managed to watch a few more episodes of Love and Redemption which continues to be delightful. We're started moving from adorable romantic fluff to slightly more tragic territory now but it's that sort of dramatic tragedy born of misunderstandings rather than actual feels like you've been kicked in the chest tragedy. Still, I've only got to the end of episode 8 so there's still another 51 episodes for it to turn things up a notch.
Last night was movie night and we watched Adventures of Power which is a movie about air drumming. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but it's actually a really sweet movie about how you don't need to be able to play an instrument to love music.
Not much on the agenda today so the plan is to watch more Love and Redemption until it's time for the next writing/editing sprint with Sarah. Then I've got the weekly Zoom call with the Newcastle gang this evening which should be fun. I might have a look at getting some new games for us to play.
Oh, and in K-Pop news NCT has dropped a new song and I love it! It's got an early 90s/Beastie Boys type feel to it and it's great.
I'm kind of avoiding the k-pop fandom as there seems to be a lot of drama and people with very strong opinions about whether it's acceptable to like more than one group or not. There are several groups I like but I think if I had to choose one it would be NCT and all their sub-groups. They seem to be consistently producing music that I really love.
