🌙 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,

🌙 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 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.
