Media update - 16092026

Brief update on things I've finished these past few months and things I'm currently watching. I'm gonna try to write another general update soon, because I've been going through it and kind of isolated myself… Maybe the most relevant thing is that, somehow, The Prosecutor's Proposal took over my brain and possessed me to write again, but instead of finishing my Khemjira fic, I started a new WIP... just... this one is hornier.

Oooh, I'm so excited for your Prosecutor's Proposal fic! I've been reading so many of them, ahaha, and I really love their dynamic! It was my first Korean show I've ever watched, so I think I missed a lot of the nuance with it, but I still really enjoyed it. I think I'm going to rewatch it once I watch a few more Korean dramas so I can see the similarities, haha.

I'm a very slow writer, but I'm working on it, and I've rewatched the show so many times. When I'm done, I'll share it here.

Oh, that's so cool! I haven't watched many Korean BLs compared to Thai ones, which is funny, considering the first BL drama I watched was Korean.

so I think I missed a lot of the nuance with it

Oh? What makes you think that? I haven't watched many K-dramas myself, but I've seen a lot of people say it's like THE K-drama formula, so I'm curious too. A couple of mutuals mentioned The Devil Judge (not a BL), so I added it to my list to watch at some point.

But I really, really enjoyed it and it's still consuming my brain. I also read a fan translation of the novel because I needed to spend more time with those two, and it's freakier. So much more explicit, and the cases are more detailed too.
