alterkrmn | Oh, no! Here Comes Trouble

Today was a day, for reasons I've discussed somewhere else but I won't repeat here. But it's relatively late and I have a lot of nervous energy and I thought it would be good to talk about something good instead of thinking and thinking about the bad things that happened.

Sometime ago

geraineon talked about Oh, no! Here Comes Trouble and I just started watching it last weekend.

But then the work week went by, and I went to the office, and I caught a cold (fortunately just a cold, after getting tested and everything), and had to catch up with the work I couldn't do when I was sleeping for a whole day like I always do to recover from colds because they're my kryptonite.

My intention was to binge the rest of the episodes today but I had things to do and then shit happened and, honestly, when I tried to watch anything, my mind just kept wandering to the things that happened and couldn't make it beyond 10 minutes of episode 9, so I decided to just stop. I wasn't in the right mood.

So... I haven't finished watching the remaining four episodes, I don't know how it's going to end, but nothing stops me from talking about how much I've liked it so far.

I have this way of approaching shows where I try not to seek spoilers or reviews. Sometimes I just skim the synopsis. I like to be surprised, I like to guess what's going to happen, see if I can predict a pattern or if the story will take turns I didn't see coming at all. And I'm lucky I'm not easily triggered.

Anyway, regarding Oh, no! Here Comes Trouble everything has been such an interesting surprise. From the protagonist, to his unusual gift, to the way the stories revolve around grief in a way it shows us how the protagonist deal with his own grief and guilt, and the humor (yes! humor) ... I have loved every episode. And most of them have made me laugh and cry without me feeling whiplash. The writing is just so clever. And the acting is great. I just... I really want to watch episodes 9 to 12 tomorrow, but I cannot say if I will de able to do it, so, for now I'm just gonna talk about it here. I dare say right away that it's going to be one of my favorite dramas, really, I'm not exaggerating.

This, as usual, is not a review. I definitely recommend it, but there are some heavy elements that may not be for everyone or even be triggering.

But now it's late late and I'm finally starting to feel sleepy. And talking about something I enjoy actually helped me feel better.

I promise I'm gonna come back and talk about this show when I finish watching it.

(How do I even tag this post? I am useless tagging stuff, I need a tagging masterclass)

I still don't know how to do the thing that shows a person's username

If that person is here on DW, you only need to highlight the username and click the account button (in rich text editor it's between the link and picture buttons) and it adds the DW link automatically. If you want to add the username on some other site, click the account button, add in their username in the window that appears, and select the site from the dropout list. (Mastodon is sadly not available so that needs to be just an old-fashioned link.)

OMG, thank you. It just... ever occurred to me to use the rich text editor lol
It's for a DW user... I'm gonna try that jhjkhdsfgasdh

To make DW usernames show up, put the @ in front of the name, like so "@ alterkrmn" (remove the space). It will not look like a link when you're typing, but it will be a DW username link when you post it.

*hugs, re: RL things*

Oh No! Here Comes Trouble is also one of my fav dramas of all times now tbh. It gives everyone's story the gravity they need, yet still manages to be warm.

Oh, and regarding tagging, tagging on DW is really more for your needs/your organizational purposes, unlike other spaces where it's used to find things on a global level.

One thing you might not know (sorry if you already know this though!) is that DW tags can be nested. I tag my dramas with "drama: NAME OF DRAMA", and "NAME OF DRAMA" will now appear under the "drama". It just looks nicer to me!

You can manage your tags by going here: https://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/tags

Change names of tags, merge tags, etc.

Ohh! Thank you! I think I read this at some point but forgot. I think now that I still don't have many post would be a good moment to organize my tags, before it gets out of hand

I've tried with the @ but maybe I am doing it wrong... it doesn't help I write my posts here very late and brain doesn't do much braining lol. But I'm gonna keep trying until I make it work XD

Sometimes life is... a lot... but I try to remind myself that it's temporary, everything is...

Oh, no! Here Comes Trouble is also the second taiwanese show I watch. First one was Unknown. I want to watch more, but when something is new, I prefer going for recs.

Ah that's strange. Here's the FAQ page for it: https://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse?faqid=87

Another way you can do it is:

<user name=geraineon>

(you can try to copy+paste this to see if it works!)

Mm, I don't really watch Taiwanese shows much, but there's another I've been eyeing. When you feel up to it, we can watch together? It's called Light the Night, main actress is Pu Yi-Yong's mother.

Re: dw account mentions: Thank you. I'm gonna try all the possible ways in some post to see how it works.

re: Light the Night: I like the idea! Probably next year XD

After finishing ONHCT I haven't been really in the mood to watch anything else. I've been watching the weekly releases of a thai drama, but I feel like I have a "very good drama" hangover.
