Currently: December

I really have just been watching ongoing kdramas and trying to catch up with everything while I also ofcourse read and then Taylor Swift keeps dropping albums??? What a crazy last couple of months. Here is what's keeping me entertained this month. 


Please Don't Date Him S1 | The premise of the show really drew me in. A fridge that exposes cheating men? count me in! I really do love the main leads and the side characters in this really cute and fun show. It's not too serious and has that kdrama romantic comedy charm while also just being something that is comforting without being too emotional. 

Hilda S2 | Talk about comfort shows. Hilda's color scheme and animation style is one of my favourite things about the show and not to mention the adorable adventurer with a heart of gold and a curiosity bigger than space itself! I'm so far slowly enjoying this show that brings me so much joy!

Mr Queen S1 | I don't watch sageuks mostly, I never found them interesting enough to start and even the one I did watch halfway through, it was so boring it completely strayed me away from the genre but when I saw the trailer for this show I knew I needed to watch it. Turns out, I was right. It really is a gem that is SO FUNNY and Shin HyeSun is absolutely killing the eponymous role. I am enjoying it so so much. 

White Ivy by Susie Yang | I started this off because of the Asian American character and it really was doing the rounds in the critics circle so I had high hopes for it. Al and I were buddy reading it and both of us sort of have DNFed it at around 15-20%. There were so many things happening but also it was also quite fast paced and I didn't really get to feel much for the characters. The writing itself is a bit stuffy but I do want to give it one more chance before I write it off so I shall continue. 

If We Were Villains by M.L.Rio | This was our bookclub book for this month and I was excited because it had Shakespeare and a murder? But a few pages in, I really found it to be quite obnoxious. The writing is alright but the characters are a bit all over the place and unlikeable. I will still try to read a bit more beacuse I've been told it gets better so I am holding on to some hope. 

Evermore by Taylor Swift | 2 Taylor Swift albums under 6 months??? The best thing 2020 has given us. I'm still absolutely stunned that this is a reality for us. Folklore was so good and then we have evermore which is as good and both are so enjoyable. It's only been a couple weeks so I haven't had much time to really go into it but I've listened to it in its entirity twice and found a few songs I instantly loved and now I'm doing a deep dive by listening to each song for 2 whole days so I can understand the lyrics and try to comprehend the levels of meaning that her songwriting puts into each song. I'm 1/3 into the album already and my current favourites are champagne problems and no body, no crime. I'm sure it will keep changing as I listen to more. 

So, what's keeing you entertained?
