Right after The Double, I decided to watch this pretty hyped drama that’s been appearing on my social media feeds, taunting me to watch it. So, watched I did and… till now I wonder if I might have wasted my entire Sunday with it.
Let me explain…

This 40-episode costumed Chinese drama sure takes a while for me to complete. I mean, it takes any drama series a while for me to complete even if it’s a “normal” Korean drama of 16 episodes. The reason why I even started to watch this was that one of the OSTs was sung by a member of a K-pop group, NCT Dream. He’s a Chinese member just in case some of you guys got a little confused why a Korean person is singing for a Chinese drama. No, he’s Chinese. Anyways, even though it took me a while to complete, I finally did and did not regret watching this at all. It made me laugh, it made me cry and sometimes it increased my heart blood pressure.

I’m going to be a little bit on a bias side here. I know, I know, it’s probably not good for reviews to go with your bias groups/artistes but this album by NCT Dream shows such an immense growth from the group that debuted with Chewing Gum when they were tiny tots (okay, not tiny tiny but you know, younger-er).
DREAM()SCAPE is NCT Dream’s 5th mini album, which they are deeply involved in, whether it’s song-writing or production. Even the teasers and trailers were borne out of their ideas, notably Renjun.
Click down below for my first impression on their songs in the album. Yes, yes, I just managed to listen to them (being a fan who is also a working adult is tough, y’all).

This is the first work of Song Joong Ki that I’m watching after a whole drama of what he had said about “married actors”. I’m not going to delve much into it except that it sounded very ignorant of the challenges that women in the industry face as well, if not worse, than their male counterparts, like him.
In any case, the trailer looked interesting so here I am. It’s No. 2 in Singapore on Netflix so why not give it a try, right?
Well… big mistake…

This has to be a feat for me. I have got to achieve my own life medal of finishing a drama in 2 days and 1 night. How did I manage to watch this drama in an even shorter number of days than Itaewon Class?
HOW DID SITI FINISH THIS IN THE SHORTEST TIME POSSIBLE?
I’m surprised with myself that I can finish this TV series after Cells at Work in 8 days. It seems that the circuit breaker really gives me too much time on my hands. Usually, a TV series would take me weeks to complete. But here I am…
I decided to watch it due to a recommendation by not one but two colleagues of mine. And that there are a lot of references of the TV series elsewhere. So, I thought maybe it is a worth a watch. Is it?
Is it worth it?
So… a special write-up of sorts. Singapore is on a “circuit breaker” mode, essentially a lockdown but not really… We are still allowed to go out of the house but only for essential things like buying takeaway food or groceries. Only companies in essential industries are open such as healthcare, food & beverage (thus takeaway food, no dining in), repair works, supermarkets, wet markets. Mostly, we are still advised to stay home.
Anywaysssss….
Because Singapore is on a circuit breaker mode, it means that I have too much time on my hands, which translates to me being able to write like this and actually watch shows that I’ve always wanted to watch but had no time.
First up is Cells at Work, a TV anime that I’ve always wanted to watch but was not able to catch up on. I was pretty excited to see that it is on Netflix.

This week, I decided to watch Netflix’s 6 Underground. Now, why haven’t I watched this earlier?

Sadly, I did not manage to catch any of the movies that’s released this week because real life calls. So, whenever that happens, I turned to Netflix, which is a good alternative. It does have a wide variety of dramas and films to watch and sometimes, really good ones that we did not catch on before.
And one of those movies is Boy Erased.
Now, I’m no Christian so whenever I do watch this kind of movies, I detach myself and try to watch it with an open mind.

So, it’s been a while… I’m not very good at keeping this blog alive. I will also not make any promises this time to say that I will try to keep the posts coming in. But I do miss watching movies and writing and I thought I should start back on my hobby in 2020.
The first movie I decided to watch out of all the movies that came out on Thursday in Singapore is Ashfall or the Korean name is 백두산, which is literally translated as Baekdu Mountain. It still exists today and is actually an active volcano sitting at the border of China and North Korea. Last eruption was in 1903. With climate change, who knows when it will erupt but that’s where the movie comes in…
