🌙 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 😂

Stay awake with me,

🌙 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.

Stay awake with me,

📺 Variety Review: Chef & My Fridge – ☕

The Premise: Chef & My Fridge (also known as Please Take Care of my Refrigerator) is a South Korean variety show that invites 8 well-known chefs and 2 celebrity guests. In each episode, a pair of chefs will compete against each other to cook ingredients that come from the fridges of the guests within 15 minutes, in accordance to their orders (and tastebuds). Every episode, chaos usually ensues in the kitchen with the help of the equally chaotic hosts. It’s a long-running cooking variety show since 2014. It stopped in 2019 but rebooted on both JTBC and Netflix.

The Sleepy Scale Verdict: ☕I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard for every single episode. In fact, I used this show as my comfort show in between watching TV series, documentaries or movies. You would usually think Michelin-starred chefs are uppity. But no, these chefs are super hilarious. It truly increases their likeability. Chefs who participated in Culinary Class Wars even find this show to be more difficult. I can understand. Who would think you can cook some fine-dining food in 15 minutes? Not them either. The hilarity usually comes from that time limit and the name of the dish that the chefs come up with – like Su-Su-Su-Su-Super Udon with the Supernova dance from aespa.

The Standout Episode: I think the Su-su-su-su-Super Udon episode is Episode 7 on Netflix. Chef Hoyoung is usually the one coming up with these hilarious names for dishes and dancing to it. So, any episode that he’s in is entertaining. Anytime Chef Kim Poong comes on, just know that it’s going to be wild. And if you want some eye-candy, Chef Son Jong Won will provide you just that. So, it really depends on your mood for the day.

Watchability: You can just watch any episode. You don’t actually have to start from the very first season. If you like a certain celebrity like J-Hope, then you can just skip to those specific episodes.
