🌙 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!

🌙 The After-Hours Reset: Week No. 1 – Too Many Feels

The Week In Review

I can’t believe I’m able to keep up with Perfect Crown. But the problem with watching the episodes as it airs is… the waiting. Episode 4 ends in such a thrilling note how am I supposed to wait for next week? 😭 On the other hand, I’m left with 1-ish episode of Love for Love’s Sake. I’m kicking my feet at “Remember, you’re mine.”, I cannot get to the episode where he has to choose. So, I decided to start with Jun & Jun while I prepare my brain and heart for the last episodes of Love for Love’s Sake.

The Highlights

  • Perfect Crown (Ep 3-4): ⚡- I was laughing my ass off. Grand Prince I-An and Huiju is seriously a pair. As his assistant said: “Cute couple.”
  • Chef & My Fridge (Ep 8): ☁️ – Truly my comfort show: Just watching it as and when I need a break
  • Love For Love’s Sake (Ep 6): 🦋 – Sure, I was kicking my feet and giggling for 95% of the episode and then the heartbreak. My heart cannot handle this.
  • Jun & Jun (Ep 1): 🦋 – Interesting, though the office presentation made me laugh out loud. Probably just me and my corporate PTSD. Also, why can’t I get a GM as handsome as one of the Juns. Come on now!

The Midnight Mood

  • 😋: I’m in my diet era, guys! So, no food for me at night 😭
  • 🎶: Well, since it’s Perfect Crown sorta week for me, let’s go with the latest OST from the drama – Behind The Shine by RIIZE. This song is kinda sad though 😭

Looking Ahead

Let’s see if I can complete Love for Love’s Sake. My dear heart, please prepare yourself.

🕛 Midnight Wrap-Up: Issue #5

The Week In Review: This week went better than the weeks before. I wasn’t feeling well – physically and mentally – so I slowed down and watched something comforting instead. Yes, that’d be Chef & My Fridge but there’s also my fave group’s YouTube contents. This week, though, I was back in full force.

The Highlights (What I Actually Watched)

  • No Tail To Tell (Ep 3-8): ☕ – Quick thought: In Korea, this show is not doing well but I find it interesting actually.
  • I Hear The Sunspot (Ep 7-8): 🦋 – Quick thought: I can see why some people find it to be more bromantic than BL. It can be seen as a typical coming-of-age, friendship drama. So far.
  • Our Universe (Ep 1-2): 🦋 – Quick thought: The baby is so cute. Every episode so far gives me baby fever. Woo Joo is so adorable. This baby is the main plot. Well, he is.
  • Chef & My Fridge (Ep 49-53): ☁️ – Q️uick thought: Erm… I hope Netflix gets the license to air the rest of the episodes. It’ll be weird if Ep 53 is the last one.

The Midnight Mood

  • The Snack: When I was watching all these shows, I was eating actual meals most of the time – either lunch or dinner. But I’ve been eating a few waffles quite lately. So, waffles it is 😂
  • The Vibe: Since I’ve been pretty much binge-watching No Tail To Tell till the last episode that Netflix has at the moment, I would say Can’t Be by YOARI, which is one of their soundtracks. It’s very mystical. It fits the theme of the show.

Looking Ahead

  • I might try to finish I Hear The Sunspot. I’ve also been seeing Honour on my TikTok fyp so I might give that one a go as well.

Midnight Wrap-Up: Issue #4

The Week In Review: I didn’t watch much shows this week as I tried to finish Can This Love Be Translated? Well, it didn’t go so well.

The Highlights (What I Actually Watched)

  • Can This Love Be Translated? (Ep 3-8): 📉 – Quick thought: Dropped. I dropped it. You can find the reason why here.
  • Idol I (Ep 4-5): ☕ – Quick thought: Relatable to Maeng Se Na. Well, I’m no attorney but she is sure very relatable to me.
  • Our Dining Table (Ep 1-10.5): 🦋 – Quick thought: I was watching one episode each night. But after Ep 2, I watched all the way through. It’s such a comfy, healing show. I will review it later.

The Midnight Mood

  • The Snack: Does Milo, a chocolate malt drink, count? Lol
  • The Vibe: I don’t know why Beauty and a Beat by Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj is in my head right now but oh well…

Looking Ahead

  • After dropping Can This Love Be Translated?, I can focus on finishing Idol I. After which, let’s see which one I will start next or get distracted by something else completely.

Midnight Wrap-Up: Issue #3

The Week In Review: I am usually a slow watcher so I’m impressed with myself this week.

The Highlights (What I Actually Watched)

  • Pro Bono (Ep 5-12): ☕ – Quick thought: The cases that the pro bono team took on are interesting. Review is up!
  • Chef & My Fridge (Ep 31-33): ☁️️ – Quick thought: Still my comfort show. I watched this in between Ep 9 and 10 for Pro Bono when I knew the show would get quite heavy.
  • Wind Up (Ep 1-50): ☕🦋 – Quick thought: The quickest I completed a show but it’s 100 minutes put together. Easy to consume. Review is up!
  • Idol I (Ep 1-3): ☕ – Quick thought: I feel like I’m looking at myself in this drama. The female lead character is relatable.

The Midnight Mood

  • The Snack: It’s between real lunch and dinner and also tapioca chips. Tapioca chips is now my staple snack lol
  • The Vibe: For today, I decide to rec a new song by Charlie Puth called Beat Yourself Up. It’s actually quite hard for me to listen to a new song and like it. But I like this one at first listen. It has an old vibe.

Looking Ahead

  • I don’t think Idol I would finish soon so either I will also watch Can This Love Be Translated? so I can review it next week. Or complete Light On Me and review that next week. Let’s see.

Stay awake with me,

Midnight Wrap-Up: Issue #2

The Week In Review: I… forgot what I was watching this week. There are so many in my head – I didn’t know which ones I actually watched and which ones are just in my head.

The Highlights (What I Actually Watched)

  • Pro Bono (Ep 1-4): ☕ – Quick thought: It only gets interesting when the main character takes on the cases. Be patient.
  • Chef & My Fridge (Ep 21-30): ☁ – Quick thought: I put this as Wide Awake last week. But this week, I’m changing it to Cozy / Daydreaming. It’s now my comfort show. I will watch this in between any shows that I find heavy. Or, if I just needed a laugh after a hard day at work.
  • Taxi Driver 3 (Ep 15-16): ⚡- Quick thought: I just, like literally, finished this show. Review coming up soon!
  • Ball Boy Tactics (Ep 8): 🦋 – Quick thought: To write my review, I did a little re-watch. Jeong U is hot. Review here.

The Midnight Mood

  • The Snack: No snack but actual food, especially when I’m watching Chef & My Fridge. I’m not gonna not eat watching that show lol
  • The Vibe: After re-watching Ball Boy Tactics, you know that song by Tyla called Water. That’s all.

Looking Ahead

  • Review for Taxi Driver 3 and watching the rest of Pro Bono

Stay awake with me,
