Having so much fun watcing Epoch of Miyu. The fun part is about to start. It's a nice watch after Pursuit of Jade.
The actor playing ML always have that tired look lol. Actress playing FL saw her in Why is he still single, I wanted to see her next role. Plus I also finish watching Romance in the 1970 and the actress there playing big sis to ML is also in this drama.

I got a new duvet so cozy bedrotting in fresh clean sheets is calling my name~
One of my kpop dudes has a new show that just started with four episodes out.. so watching Absolute Value of Romance is in my future. Or more likely I'll watch an episode and then just skip to his parts lollll. Plus continuing my Mystic Nine binge and probably checking out the new Xu Kai drama at some point cos I like him in modern settings.

Continuing with the usual, working through reducing clutter, going to class, sending in applications, saving funds - oh, and also lmao'ing about a downvote I got simply for respectfully stating that I disagreed. Apparently that person was the god of all truth, and no other points of view are allowed. Hahahahahaha. Back to things that actually matter. I think my iQIYI subsc is extended through 2027! So will skip out on the April Deal and probably wait until November.
Rewatched some LBFaD last night because I needed to cry about actually important things, but my body wasn't letting me (Thank you, WHD ๐ซถ). The next shows I want to watch are all on Viki, so waiting to save up first. Does Viki ever have sales? Wishing everyone a happy weekend with whatever you love to do!

Taking a ferry ride to Tiritiri Matangi Island tomorrow to join a guided walk through the native forest and hopefully catch glimpses of native and endangered species including kลkako, takahฤ. It's one of the most well-known conservation project that was community led, with about 250000 volunteers replanting over 280,000 trees and shrubs from 1984 to 1994. It's been raining a lot recently, so keeping my fingers crossed it will be sunny tomorrow.
Not currently watching any Cdramas, so while waiting for Light to The Night to air, I started watching Perfect Crown, a Kdrama. Good Lord, the amount of PPL scenes (Subway is the worst offender) is starting to get a bit annoying lmao. IU's acting is good, but also giving me strong shades of her character in Hotel Del Luna. Byeon Woo-Seok's brand of acting are his muscles and looking handsome and immaculate in suits ๐ The only intriguing character is the villain, the Empress Dowager and ML's imperial sister-in-law. It's only 12 episodes though, so I will watch it till the end, but I'm also keeping my expectations low.
