[quick reviews of all the (k/c) dramas i watched in 2025, part 1] these ones i mostly enjoyed, and sometimes that might warrant a side-eye that i will accept with grace. let's gooooooo
okay, so far #RemarriedEmpress isn't that weird to me? they haven't done a terrible job of building the world out, and i get why they cast shin min-a and ju ji-hoon โ you need actors with experience and chops to actually sell the emotional beats of this outlandish setting
the fillers are not the problem (although whoever did them should be defrocked) itโs that NO one can move their faces (men incl) and there is an entire rubric of facial expressions being invented by actors to compensate for that loss which is unnerving to witness
@haraxvati in sum, i've learned to leave it be. i think what we can do is even more limited than in a situation where a friend is in a terrible relationship. unfortunately.
@haraxvati i'm in the same situation, and nothing i say seems to work. it only gets his back up even when most tactfully phrased. in his case the primary driver is longterm loneliness (unemployment + a move back to his hometown), so i don't think anything will change unless that's addressed
