📃 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.

🌙 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.

📃 The Great Reset: Week No. 1 – Royals, Recipes and Romance

Show / Movie / BookProgressCurrent Vibe
Chef & My Fridge Season 4Ep 8/31☁️ Cozy / Daydreaming
Perfect CrownEp 2/12⚡ Electric
Love for Love’s SakeEp 6/8🦋 Heart-Flutter
High Potential Season 2Ep 5/18☁️ Cozy / Daydreaming

I decided to hit the reset button. Since I took more than a month off for spiritual reflection and rest, it felt only right to start my watchlist count back at No. 1. Consider this the “New Season” of This Siti Never Sleeps.

🔊 Weekly Highlight: It’s a perfect mix

Suffice to say, I can treat Chef & My Fridge and High Potential as my comfort shows in two different ways: One for the laugh, the other if I have nothing else to watch. This week I also started on Perfect Crown. I hardly try to watch a show that is currently ongoing but this one looks interesting. And, after The Time of Fever, I felt a loss and decided to watch Love for Love’s Sake and stopped at Ep 6 because I know I’m in for a heartbreak.

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 🎧 Soundtrack: My Pace by BIBI – the OST for Perfect Crown. I almost mistake her for IU, the female lead for the show
  • 😋 Snack: Well, currently I feel like I’m going to get a cough so I’m sucking on Strepsils to ensure I don’t get into a coughing fit. Wish me well!
  • 🛏️ Sleep Thief: Love for Love’s Sake – though, yes, I’m pausing it because of potential heartbreak coming in the next two episodes. I’m protecting myself!

📋 Drop / Keep / Add

  • 💯 Keep: All the shows in my current list
  • 🫳🏽 Drop: Nothing for now
  • ➕ Add: Potentially another BL but not sure which yet

Our UniverseEp 2/12🦋 Heart-Flutter
The Art of SarahEp 3/8⚡ Electric
High Potential Season 2Ep 2/18☕ Wide Awake
The Name of the Game is a KidnappingPage 63☕ Wide Awake

Weekly Highlight: It’s all about the boys
But seriously, this week, I finished 2 BLs, which is a feat. It helps that these BLs are short but still… quite amazing that I finished them and still manage to watch others like No Tail To Tell, The Art of Sarah, High Potential Season 2. I’d give this spot to The Art of Sarah. I literally started it today and I’m already at Episode 3. I’m a slow watcher but I’m going pretty fast here.

The Midnight Mood

  • The Soundtrack: Let’s go with YOARI’s Can’t Be from No Tail To Tell. Very mystical sounding that fits the theme of the show
  • The Midnight Snack: I’ve not been snacking this week. Been drinking Milo though.
  • The Sleep Thief: The BLs that I completed – I Hear The Sunspot and Love Begins In The World of If. I’ve posted the reviews for these two!

Drop/Keep/Add

  • Keeping: Our Universe. I’m just pausing at Episode 2 because it’s still ongoing.
  • Dropping: None at the moment.
  • Adding: I really need to start watching The Judge Returns and/or Honour.

🕛 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.

No Tail To TellEp 2/12☕ Wide Awake
I Hear The SunspotEp 6/12🦋 Heart-Flutter
The Name of the Game is a KidnappingPage 34☕ Wide Awake

Weekly Highlight: Chef & My Fridge
For this week, I couldn’t stop watching this show. It is getting more and more hilarious and the chemistry between the chefs are so good. They look like a family to me and I just hope that it continues. And Netflix can get the licensing to continue with the show. I put a “?” because it was supposed to be till Episode 60. But it is showing till Episode 53 now.

The Midnight Mood

  • The Soundtrack: I’m going to go with a song that’s playing on my random Spotify playlist – Fools by Troye Sivan.
  • The Midnight Snack: My bottle of water. It feels so healthy but I’m just very thirsty while writing this post.
  • The Sleep Thief: I would say Chef & My Fridge. I was watching 3-4 episodes straight at one point.

Drop/Keep/Add

  • Keeping: Still No Tail To Tell. I’m pacing myself as it’s still ongoing.
  • Dropping: Nothing to drop this week. Yay!
  • Adding: Our Universe – This show might give the viewers baby fever. The baby is so cute!

Weekly Watchlist #04: Under Pressure

Show / Movie / BookProgressCurrent Vibe
Idol IEp 10/12☕ Wide Awake
Chef & My FridgeEp 35/60☁️ Cozy / Daydreaming
Sunrise on the ReapingCompleted☕ Wide Awake
No Tail To TellEp 2/12☕ Wide Awake

Weekly Highlight: Sunrise on the Reaping
I’ve finally finished reading this book. I took it really slow with this one. As The Hunger Games fan, I knew the ending so I wasn’t sure if I want to find out what led to that. But now I’m satisfied that I’ve finished the series. Not sure if Suzanne Collins is going to write any more in The Hunger Games universe. With what is going on in the world, maybe she doesn’t have to.

The Midnight Mood

  • The Soundtrack: Too Little Too Late by Jojo. It’s everywhere on my TikTok, people!
  • The Midnight Snack: I was drinking Hot Oat Milk Brown Sugar Bubble earlier. Yes, it’s unhealthy but look, I chose oat milk so that should be better, right?
  • The Sleep Thief: Idol I – I am so close to the end!

Drop/Keep/Add

  • Keeping: No Tail To Tell – So far, it looks good. I’ve heard of some people not liking it but so far, it looks okay to me.
  • Dropping: I’ve dropped Can This Love Be Translated?. You can read the reason why here.
  • Adding: The Name of the Game is a Kidnapping by Keigo Higashino. It’s my next read. I love Keigo Higashino so I don’t think I’ll be disappointed with this one.

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.

Weekly Watchlist #03: Love is in the air!

Pro BonoCompleted☕ Wide Awake

Chef & My FridgeEp 34/60☁️ Cozy / Daydreaming
Light On MeEp 5/16🦋 Heart-Flutter
Sunrise on the ReapingPage 268☕ Wide Awake

Weekly Highlight: Pro Bono
If you want a good show with little to no romance, just a man against the powerful, watch this one. Just watching the pro bono team proving the powerful wrong is so satisfying to watch.

The Midnight Mood

  • The Soundtrack: I’m not sure what the title of the song is but Wind Up by Jeno and Jaemin for Wind Up. I need this duo to debut ASAP.
  • The Midnight Snack: Earlier I was munching on youtiao. Now, if you are not in Asia, you probably don’t know what this is. It’s also known as yau char kway. It’s basically deep-fried wheat flour. It’s delicious just like that. But some people might like to eat it with chilli sauce. Some like it with porridge. Some like it with soy milk even. Some even put fish cake in it and it’s nice that way too.
  • The Sleep Thief: Honestly? The book that I’m currently reading, which is Sunrise on the Reaping. I’m close to the end. I’ve read The Hunger Games so I have an idea what happens at the end 😭

Drop/Keep/Add

  • Keeping: Can This Love Be Translated? – It’s kinda funny at the moment. Also, second-hand embarrassment.
  • Dropping: I’ve already dropped Moon River. I’m not continuing with it now definitely.
  • Adding: I might watch another reality show called Noona Is A Woman To Me or another drama called No Tail To Tell. One of it.

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.
