🕛 The Midnight Wrap-Up: Week No. 9 – K-Drama Speedruns & Soobin’s Ultimate Dad Energy

📝 The Week In Review

It’s a long weekend here in Singapore. I ended up watching one movie, finished Agent Kim Reactivated, and caught an episode of TXT Parenting Diary along with its behind-the-scenes clip. A very productive week indeed!

🤩 The Highlights

  • Once We Were Us: 🥀 – Oh, what a bittersweet slice of life. Read my full review here.
  • Agent Kim Reactivated (Ep 8–10): ⚡ – I had no idea it was only a 10-episode series, so I powered through the rest in a single day. That’s a real feat for me! Read my full review here.
  • TXT Parenting Diary (Ep 7 + Behind-the-Scenes): ☁️ – Soobin is going to have a whole queue of ladies lining up – and mothers practically offering their daughters in marriage – because, hello, absolute father material! How is this man so full of love?

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 😋: Enjoying a classic local dessert my mom made: grass jelly with longans and attap seeds. Nothing fancy, and you can easily find it at hawker centers across Singapore, but it hits the spot every time.
  • 🎶: • I need to plug a new song from Tomorrow X Together called “Nice To Meet Ya” – it’s been on repeat!

👀 Looking Ahead

Since it’s a long weekend, I might try to figure out how to watch A Bonafide Killer right after posting this. It looks so intriguing!

Stay awake with me,

🕛 The Midnight Wrap-Up: Week No. 8 – Spies, High Fashion, Toddlers & Murder

📝 The Week In Review

Well, this feels like a restart of sort. There are reasons why I’ve not been writing my weekly wrap-ups, which you can find in my Siti Wide Awake blog. Head down there if you want to know what was up with me (or is up with me). Anyways, I decided to start watching Agent Kim Reactivated because that show starts to come up on my feed rather randomly. My friend did recommend the show because I enjoyed Teach You A Lesson. Similar but not really – the characters have a different purpose. This show has a group of bad-ass ahjussis. And earlier today, I watched The Devil Wears Prada 2 because I saw that is No. 1 in Disney+ right now. I’m also re-watching earlier episodes of TXT Parenting Diary (no, I have not finished the show yet) and just started this evening, Murder Club: Liar’s Table.

🤩 The Highlights

  • Agent Kim Reactivated (Ep 1-7): ⚡ – Loving it so far. I love me some bad-ass ahjussis, say the person with probably the same age group as the characters 😂
  • The Devil Wears Prada 2: ☕ – Nostalgic. Review here.
  • TXT Parenting Diary (Ep 1-6): ☁️ – Comfort show and the start of me being a MOA. They came at the right time for me (both the show and TXT). Soobin looks ready to be a parent 🥰
  • Murder Club: Liar’s Table (Ep 1): 🤔- Interesting show. It’s not a new concept, I feel. I know I’ve seen it somewhere before. The reason I decided to watch was Beomgyu from TXT. But his episode(s) aren’t out yet. I’m interested to see his episode because in TXT’s contents, he’s usually the chaotic one (or the bringer of chaos).

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 😋: When I was watching The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Murder Club, I was eating lunch and then dinner. And munching on an Asian snack called rempeyek. Google that. I’m saying Asian because I do not want to offend any country. According to Google though, it’s Indonesian-Javanese cracker. Makes sense. I’m Javanese (new info). I’m Singaporean but Javanese ancestry. Anyways, it’s crunchy. Usually made with peanuts and dried anchovies.
  • 🎶: If you head into Siti Wide Awake blog, there would be very obvious answer to this question but I shall select just one song from the group and that song is Chasing The Feeling.

👀 Looking Ahead

I don’t know… I’m not making any promises anymore 😂

Stay awake with me,

🕛 The Midnight Wrap-Up: Week No. 7 – When Live Action Isn’t Enough, So You Read The Novel Too

📝 The Week In Review

This week feels like a productive one for me. I have decided to watch Xiao Zhan’s works while going to work (see whether I will pull that through) while slowly watching My Royal Nemesis (since the show is still ongoing). Since the episodes are all out for Teach You A Lesson, I added that in the mix as well and reading Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. I love The Untamed so much, there’s zero hesitation for me to purchase all 5 volumes of the novel. My arms were doing a whole heavy-lifting yesterday carrying all 5 volumes plus a new book by Keigo Higashino because I cannot resist a new book from one of my fave authors even though I still have a lot of his books not read yet. Oops!

🤩 The Highlights

  • Teach You A Lesson (Ep 1-2): ⚡- Guys, the satisfaction that I have watching these bullies getting whacked. Finally a drama that shows exactly what we, the audience, want to see whenever we watch such shows with heinous bullies.
  • The Untamed (Ep 1-4): ☁️ – I know, I know, I put Ep 34 in my last post and suddenly, it’s Ep 1-4? See, usually I skipped scenes after watching the 100th time. But I decided for this 101th rewatch to watch it properly and stop skipping even though I do not want to see Wei Wuxian getting hurt for the gazillionth time.
  • My Royal Nemesis (Ep 2-4): ⚡ – This show is so funny. But seeing Cha Se Gye’s past life… man… I don’t want another Scarlet Heart. My heart wouldn’t be able to take this. So, I really hope it’s a happy ending.
  • Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (Page 20): ☁️ – Because why not? I did read it before online but it was fan translated and it’s just a mess. So, this novel would be a properly written one. So, I’m super excited to read all 5 volumes of it

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 😋: Still in my dieting era, guys! So, didn’t crave anything at midnight.
  • 🎶: Since I’ve been watching, somewhat, a variety show called TXT Parenting Diary on the side, let’s go with one of their songs called Deja Vu.

👀 Looking Ahead

Finish Teach You A Lesson?

🕛 The Midnight Wrap-Up: Week No. 6 – When the New Dramas are Good, but the Rewatch Calls Your Name

🎧 Late night and your eyes are tired? Tap play below to listen to this week’s entertainment briefing on the go!

📝 The Week In Review

I thought after finishing Perfect Crown, I would be lost. Instead, I managed to finish Soul Mate, started on 2 new shows on Netflix and rewatched The Untamed, all in one week. Wow! Well, it feels like I’m revenge watching shows because I’m stressed about my job and this is my only outlet.

🤩 The Hightlights

  • Soul Mate (Ep 2-8): 🥀 – I put coffee last week, didn’t I? Nope, no… it’s not… it’s definitely not. I had to take 1 whole business day to get over it and write the review.
  • The Wonderfools (Ep 1): ☕ – It says Comedy series. From the first episode, I don’t know what’s comedic about this. Cha Eun Woo’s character is mysterious though.
  • My Royal Nemesis (Ep 1): ☕ – Now, this one I find funny. I’m glad I started this after Perfect Crown. Otherwise, I’d have been confused with all these royal stuffs.
  • The Untamed (Ep 34): ☁️ – I’m rewatching this because why not. I need to feel the tingles and the love and the beautiful storyline of everything. Okay, fine, I actually watched this because Soul Mate reminded me of The Untamed – the looks given to each other, the undying love, how censorship cannot masked these at all.

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 😋: The last thing I ate/drank was a mug of Milo before writing this post.
  • 🎶: Let’s go with Wu Ji by Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo – the soundtrack for The Untamed – because why not. And there are some people who commented that this show is just a bromance. Guys, there’s literally a song for Wei Wu Xian and Lan Wang Ji. Let’s not kid ourselves here.

👀 Looking Ahead

I need to finish the two shows I started watching before starting something else, honestly.

🕛 The Midnight Wrap-Up: Week No. 5 – From High-Stakes Kingdom to Deep Human Connection

📝 The Week In Review

It’s been a very busy work week for me. So, I’ve not watched a lot of shows. The fact that I managed to finish Perfect Crown on the same weekend it completed is quite remarkable (though that also meant I put my work on the back seat). And I did add in Soul Mate. It’s been appearing on my TikTok FYP so I decided to give this one a shot. I also managed to catch Michael in the cinemas.

🤩 The Highlights

  • Perfect Crown (Ep 11-12): ⚡ – I’m really glad that they ended on a happy note. I was a little scared as IU and Byeon Woo Seok do tend to take on sad/bittersweet shows. I did a review on this one so you can read more here.
  • Chef & My Fridge (Ep 11): ☁️ – After a hell-ish work week for me in the office, working from home and watching this show during lunch is refreshing, especially when I need a laugh.
  • Soul Mate (Ep 1): ☕ – I’m not yet sure of this show but I’m intrigued.
  • Michael: 🫸🏽 – New emoji: It’s the wait till it’s on Netflix for me. Read my review here.

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 😋: I’m back to my dieting. It is especially motivating since I had a couple of scares in the last 2 years and my doctor told me in the recent check-up that the cysts found in my breast last year got smaller. I was encouraged. Whatever it is I’m doing, I’m maintaining it.
  • 🎶: I’ve been playing this song about non-stop – Unique by P1Harmony

👀 Looking Ahead

I hope I finish Soul Mate. Let’s see…

🌙 The After-Hours Reset: Week No. 4 – Crowns, Kitchens, and Moral Codes

📝 The Week In Review

Chef & My Fridge and Honour are back on the list! My comfort show and the show that I’ve put on the back-burner. You see, after watching the latest episodes of Perfect Crown, I definitely need my comfort show. That show is giving me a high blood pressure. I love it but the villains be villain-ing here! And the poor baby king being used and bullied by adults! The nerve. So, yes, I need Chef & My Fridge to calm my blood pressure down.

🤩 The Highlights

  • Perfect Crown (Ep 9-10): ⚡ – We have two more episodes and I don’t know how it’s going to end. That’s the thing with this show that I think made people hooked – you can never guess how the next episode will go even with the previews. While I can guess, it still managed to surprise me.
  • Chef & My Fridge (Ep 10-11): ☁️ – After the latest two episodes of Perfect Crown, I need something to comfort me. Ep 11 has Chef Sang Rok back. Aww…
  • Honour (Ep 3-4): ⚡ – Well, I’m not surprised that the side character that I don’t really like is not there anymore but it’s still quite tragic.
  • Sammy’s Children’s Day (Ep 7-8): 🦋 – I’m about to finish and I want smack Liu Yi awake. Sweetie pie, you like Chu San. Just admit it already!

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 😋: Okay, since my work went a little crazy, I did eat some food beyond the time that I set myself at for my diet era. Just normal dinner, like the fish curry my mom cooked for today – on a Mother’s Day, yes. That’s mom’s love, y’all.
  • 🎶: Someone just help a girl out here. I’m stuck at Wednesday Girl by P1Harmony for a whole week now. My goodness! So stuck that I have added P1Harmony as one of the groups I stan now. Great! For a change, I’m embedding a YouTube video of them singing the song live because that’s when I laughed at myself and went: Ha! Another boy group in my list!

👀 Looking Ahead

I said I will finish Sammy’s Children’s Day, right? Ha! That didn’t happen. Should I promise finishing the show this week? Probably not. That’s dangerous 😂

📃 The Great Reset: Week No. 4 – The Crown, The Feels, and The One

Show / Movie / BookProgressCurrent Vibe
Perfect CrownEp 8/12⚡ Electric
Sammy’s Children’s DayEp 7/9🦋 Heart-Fluttering
Feel What You FeelEp 1/8🦋 Heart-Fluttering
Wanna One Go: Back To BaseEp 2/6☁️ Cozy / Daydreaming

This week, my list is interesting – from usual K-drama to Chinese BL dramas to… K-pop variety show. Honestly, it’s good for my brain. Otherwise, with my busy work-life, I would get all my dramas mixed up.

🔊 Weekly Highlight: What a mix

With work being busy, I am amazed that I could slip in 2 shows which is Feel What You Feel and Wanna One Go: Back To Base. Now, Wanna One variety show would be easier for me to consume after a hard day at work. Bunch of cuties being a bunch of cuties together? Easy-peasy! It’s easy to watch as well because they are just a bunch of comedians so I was laughing a lot except for the latest episode, to which I was bawling. These boys deserve to be a permanent group.

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 🎧 Soundtrack: This song has been looping in my head and it’s going to creep up into the top 10 of my Spotify 2026. I’ve been repeating it non-stop. It’s Wednesday Girl by P1Harmony. Where did they come from? Well, I can thank Gemini AI for recommending this song 😂
  • 😋 Snack: Nothing. My diet is working. I shall continue with it.
  • 🛏️ Sleep Thief: It’s either Sammy’s Children’s Day or Feel What You Feel. Either one of them I was watching at night.

📋 Drop / Keep / Add

  • 💯 Keep: All the shows, for now, including Honour.
  • 🫳🏽 Drop: Jun & Jun – I couldn’t finish it. The office-related stuff can be quite cringey. It’s unlike Secret Relationship, which is a little bit more believable.
  • ➕ Add: You know, every time I say something here, I won’t watch it and I watch some others so I don’t want to say anything anymore 😆

🌙 The After-Hours Reset: Week No. 3 – A Marathon of Crowns, Fridges and Enemies

📝 The Week In Review

Perfect Crown reminds me why I usually waited until a show completes before binge-watching. Because the waiting is excruciating. Good thing is: There’s always something to look out for after a hell of a week at work. This week, because of a hell-ish work week, I decided to watch one of my comfort shows – Chef & My Fridge. I also added two other BL shows because why not.

🤩 The Highlights

  • Perfect Crown (Ep 7-8): ⚡ – Can someone just give our royal couple a break? They don’t get one day of peace (or maybe they do) without something happening and they have to manage it together. Anyways, now that the second half of the drama starts, the drama ups the ante and us viewers are waiting what Grand Prince I-An has on his cards. That man is very smart and these two episodes also show how dangerous he can be.
  • Chef & My Fridge (Ep 8-10): ☁️ – Still my comfort show. Watched it whenever I feel the lousiest and this week was definitely it.
  • Never Forget Your Enemy (Ep 1-8): 🔥 – I decided to go with this rather than 🦋. It’s more 🔥 than 🦋 but there are some sweet moments. I did watch all 8 episodes and yet to write a review because the next show in this highlights is distracting me.
  • Sammy’s Children’s Day (Ep 1-6): 🦋 – It’s been a while since I watched a Chinese BL show. Chusan is a cutie patootie who is also quite nerdy hot. While Liu Yi is such a clueless person. Will this man ever realize he’s actually in love with Chusan or not?

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 😋: I’m still in my diet era. But because I was so stressed out, I was almost always eating past the time I’m supposed to stop eating. So, I was eating breads, which is favourite carbs of all carbs and drinking hot chocolate because sweet stuff makes me feel better after a shitty day at work.
  • 🎶: Let’s go with one of the songs from Perfect Crown – My Favourite Part by So Soo Bin.

👀 Looking Ahead

I think I will finish Sammy’s Children’s Day as it just ended. I definitely need to start Yumi’s Cells Season 3 at some point. And I saw some clips of Absolute Value of Romance that looks interesting.

🌙 The After-Hours Reset: Week No. 2 – Crowns, Closures and Honours

📝 The Week In Review

Wow! I really have to applaud myself that I am really following Perfect Crown as the show is ongoing. That was not very me. I can’t remember the last K-drama that I’ve done this. But I really kept up with the show. Yes, it means I did finish the latest episode 6. That episode was breath-taking, to say the least. I felt bad for my soft toys for getting whacked because the owner was giggling so hard. I wonder what is in store in the second half of the show though. I also just finished Love for Love’s Sake. Yes, I should also applaud myself for finally taking the plunge and just cried and the heart was mended back watching the last episode. Silly sweet boys! I also continued with Honour. It’s an interesting show – girl-bosses but with trauma.

🤩 The Highlights

  • Perfect Crown (Ep 5-6): ⚡ – K-dramas are truly back with this show. I’ve read comments from viewers who did not watch K-dramas for years until this very show. Depending on how the second half of the show plays out, this drama could very much win Best Drama.
  • Love For Love’s Sake (Ep 7-8): 🦋 – Yes, I finally finished this and I did not regret watching this at all. They are so cute. I wrote a review of it here.
  • Honour (Ep 2-3): ⚡ – I am intrigued by this show. Power moves by the 3 main ladies and kudos to them doing what they do. But one of the side characters is starting to piss me off and made me want to fast-forward her story but her case is the beginning of everything that will unfold later, I’m sure. Ugh!

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 😋: Still in my diet era! The last food I ate was my dinner cooked by my mom. So mommy’s food, guys!
  • 🎶: Since yesterday, I was creating a Spotify playlist for my normal workday with NCT Dream songs after some hiatus because yours truly couldn’t listen to their songs without bawling after the latest news of Mark leaving the entire group of NCT. Finally, I got the courage of listening to their songs again and decided to create a K-pop playlist of sort with mostly their songs. But I won’t be putting NCT Dream song here. It would be Killing Me by IKON, which is in the playlist.

👀 Looking Ahead

I think I need to start Yumi’s Cells Season 3 or Absolute Value of Romance or Love Upon A Time. Or all three. I don’t know anymore!

Stay awake with me,

📃 The Great Reset: Week No. 2 – Crowns, Colleagues, and Hard-Earned Honour

Show / Movie / BookProgressCurrent Vibe
Perfect CrownEp 4/12⚡ Electric
Jun & JunEp 3/8🦋 Heart-Fluttering
HonourEp 2/12⚡ Electric

Last week was about the “Great Reset” – the fresh start after more than a month of spiritual stillness. This week, we’re digging deeper. The stakes are climbing for the Perfect Crown, the workplace is heating up in Jun & Jun, and I’ve just begun the journey into Honour.

🔊 Weekly Highlight: Settling In

I skipped on my comfort shows this week – work is just a little bit more busy. But I still managed to catch Perfect Crown latest episodes, sneaked in two episodes for Jun & Jun (while I’m still prepping for heartache with Love for Love’s Sake) and started on Honour, which I’ve been wanting to watch for a while now.

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 🎧 Soundtrack: You know what? I’ve been loving BIGBANG in Coachella so let’s go with Sober by BIGBANG
  • 😋 Snack: I’m on my diet era and still is. And it’s working so no snacking at night
  • 🛏️ Sleep Thief: I would go for Jun & Jun. I did watch it while lying in bed.

📋 Drop / Keep / Add

  • 💯 Keep: All the shows in my list including Jun & Jun and Honour
  • 🫳🏽 Drop: Nothing for now
  • ➕ Add: Hmm… probably Yumi’s Cells Season 3.
