KDRAMA RECOMMENDATION

It’s been a long time since I made one of these. I was asked to make this recommendation a while back and as always, I have been slacking. Mian haeyo :(

In in the world of Korean dramas is there anything our male lead oppas can’t do?? They can jump from one building to another, they can be unrealistically rich CEOs, they can fight 25 people at once (and win), they can sing, they can dance, they can see future, they hear your thoughts, they can go back in time, they are crazzzy smart and the list goes on…but they are also big dum-dums when it comes to love.

This is the recommendation of Kdramas in which male leads don’t even realise that they are in love.

All of these dramas are really amazing in my very biased opinion and you should definitely watch them if you haven’t already.

Brace yourself for a fluff fest!

🌸  Touch your heart: Famous (really cute) actress ends up working as the secretary of a (serious) lawyer to gain experience for her next role.

Dong Wook’s character is probably the most adorable idiot in this list. He is crazy smart when it comes to law, and equally thick when it comes to sarcasm and women’s heart.

Watch this to add 10 years to your life.

🌸  Weightlifting fairy Kim Bok Joo: Story of a female weightlifter full of swag and a male swimmer who can’t pronounce swaaeeeg.

This is friends to lover trope at the most realistic form a Kdrama could be. This drama is the campus life fluff we all need.

🌸  She was pretty: They were childhood friends - she was a pretty girl and he was a fat kid who got bullied a lot. They meet again years later and now, he is her hot boss and she is not pretty anymore. So she lies about her identity and he doesn’t recognise her.

As controversial as this trope is. The story is surprisingly not. The drama has no bad characters and reminds me so much of Ugly Betty as it’s based in a magazine world. It has one of the best female friendship and a very serious second lead syndrome. The female mc is so refreshing played by Hwang Jung-eum.

Honestly, if this doesn’t convince you…watch it for Choi Siwon and Park Seo Joon.

🌸  What’s wrong with secretary Kim: Narcissistic boss can’t live without his secretary.

This is basically it. You don’t want to miss this one.

🌸 Clean with passion for now: Man who has a fear of germs and woman who doesn’t care about cleanliness.

The guy’s fear of germs is another level where he can’t even let anyone touch him let alone think about a relationship. This is a very adorable drama with very cute leads.

🌸 My love from the star: He is an alien who can’t wait to go back to his planet, she is a famous actress who lives next door.

This is a gem that people forgot about and I want everyone to talk about this more often. Kim Soo Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyeon are in it. The plot is good, the chemistry is amazing, their love story is what I love the most about kdramas.

Watch this even if you have seen it all those years ago cause it is still a classic.

🌸 Because this is my first life: He owns a home, she doesn’t.

Honestly, this drama is a masterpiece. It is very entertaining, very simple and very lovely. Watch this… It will water your crops, clear your skin and make you crave for more.

🌸  Oh my ghostess: A shy woman is possessed by a thirsty virgin ghost.

This is horror (very light), comedy, romance. Park Bo Young is just so cute. The entire plot is ridiculous but highly entertaining. It’s a kitchen romance so keep food ready before hitting the play button.

🌸  Suspicious Partner: A trainee prosecutor becomes a murder suspect.

This is a crime, law, romance drama. My love Ji Chang Wook is in it. His character is a strict guy who doesn’t want to fall in love and the female lead (Nam Ji Hyun) understandably falls for him…all this but with murder and other crimes.

🍿🍿🍿

Alright. That’s it, folks! I can probably add so much more here but that’s it for now. See you again next time. Hit me up if you need recommendations or talk about dramas in general. 

P.S. Check my blog for more kdrama recs, this hell-site won’t let me link them here. 

i could get so much done if only i could get stuff done

It still drives me crazy that this was written in 2014

Last time I asked for recs but I missed out on more recent movies so here’s a list of animated movies you might have missed out on… Part 2! :) (as per last time; This post will have multiple links (to the trailers of the movies) so tumblr might try to “shadowban” it, please reblog or save somewhere else if you want to keep it.)

Long Way North (2015)

In 1882, a young Russian aristocrat goes on an epic adventure to find out what happened to her grandfather and save her family’s reputation. This french animation have slipped under the radar for a lot of people, which is unfortunate because compared to a lot of the “simpler” stories in animations made for children as target audience, it’s this movies strong point. 

Bilal: A New Breed of Hero (2015)

A thousand years ago, one boy with a dream of becoming a great warrior is abducted with his sister and taken to a land far away from home. Thrown into a world where greed and injustice rule all, Bilal finds the courage to raise his voice and make a change. This movie is made in the United Arab Emirates about Bilal ibn Rabah’s start in life.

Zarafa (2012)

A bold ten-year-old Sudanese boy befriends a young giraffe and a kind Bedouin, who takes them on a splendid journey via a hot-air balloon as far as the palace of King Charles X of France. The style in this movie is so gorgeous, much like classic western animation! French-Belgian movie.

Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs (2019)

Princes who have been turned into green Dwarfs seek the kiss of the most beautiful girl in order to break the spell. At the same time, a princess is looking for her lost father. A fairy tale-parody with a twist. This korean movie caught a lot of unwarranted slack before being released due to a very gross ad. The ending credits are especially very cute.

Felidae (1994)

The story centers on domestic house cat Francis and the grisly feline murders taking place in his new neighborhood. I would recommended people to watch this movie based on style and animation alone, but there’s a lot of… adult themes including gore and sex. Very strange in a who-the-fuck-is-this-movie-marketed-for??-way but aesthetically pleasing. Made in Germany.

Over the Moon (2020)

Fei-Fei’s mother dies when she’s young and when she notices her father moving on, she takes comfort in a mythological story her mother used to tell her. Made by legendary animator Glenn Keane that worked on all your favourite Disney-movies.

Wrinkles (2011)

A man with Alzheimer struggle to adjust to life in an elderly care facility. There he makes new friends and reflect on the disease. There some really strong themes of love and friendship. Watching it, I felt it was actually really refreshing seeing an animated movie with main characters (and issues) that are not just teens! Quite a bittersweet watch. Some of the scenography is also really gorgeous. Made in Spain.

Lupin III: The First (2019)

Lupin III  (known character from several anime series and movies) goes on a grand adventure to uncover the secrets of the Bresson Diary, which is tied to the legacy of his famous grandfather. Sort of a really strange story at times but wonderful animation and a playfulness that reminds me of those cartoons you used to watch as a kid!

What Do You Lose When You Lose Your Language? by Joshua Fishman

HE'S SO CUTE???

I'm 17 and also have pcos. What are your tips and recommendations for dealing with it? Especially with weight loss

ok well i will just start by saying that all of this is very googleable and ive been doing my own research over the past few weeks but i havent really started putting together my diet plan until today, so im not basing this off of my own personal success but on what ive read.  i recommend you do your own research as well but ill condense mine as best i can!

limit intake of grains/gluten and processed carbohydrates.  this is my main focus rn bc its a very difficult thing for me to do, but its basically the first point listed in any PCOS diet plan.  limit things like bread, bagels, chips, crackers, pasta, etc. that are high in gluten and processed grains.  if you have trouble cutting out grains completely, stick to whole grains like brown rice or quinoa.

limit intake of processed sugars.  obvious one but processed foods take more insulin to break down, especially processed sugars.  avoid candy, cookies, baked goods, etc. but do eat dark chocolate if you want something sweet!

limit intake of dairy.  this is hard to do obviously and not high on my list of priorities, but apparently dairy can cause the creation of more insulin which is exactly what PCOS diets are trying to avoid.

eat more above-ground vegetables and dark fruits.  above-ground veggies just means avoiding root veggies like potatoes and yams—which goes hand in hand with the avoiding carbs thing.  dark fruits like blueberries, blackberries, and dark cherries are good.  other fruits are good, but try not to overeat fruit because it does have a lot of sugar (albeit good sugar) which can increase insulin production.

limit consumption of red and processed meats.  stick to lean protein like cold-water fish (salmon for example), turkey, eggs, and chicken.

stick to good fats.  nuts, olive oil, avocados, and other foods that are high in good fats are beneficial to any diet and can help fill the spaces that carbs leave in your stomach!

eat things you like!  if you eat things you enjoy you’re more likely to stick to this lifestyle, so stick to things that you like that fit into this plan.  for me it’s things like salads, watermelon, and almonds—foods ive always loved but also happen to fit into this diet.  find what works for you and it’ll be a lot easier to stick to your plan!

exercise and live an active life as much as you can.  like with normal people, doctors recommend that people with PCOS lead a healthy and active lifestyle.  doctors recommend 30 mins to 1 hour of exercise per day.  diet is the main thing for managing PCOS, but exercise can help a lot with the weight loss aspect if you pair it with eating well.

anyway this got kind of long but i tried to put in everything ive read.  you can also check out this site which is all about managing PCOS with your diet!!  good luck and i hope this helped you!
