Man I forgot to post on the weekend...

I finally watched the latest Murderbot ep today, and it's finally moving the plot forward again a bit. I was mostly confused by the last two eps not doing what I expected them to do. All the romance aspects are still getting on my nerves, all the "Murderbot watches shows" aspects are very good, and all the Murderbot emotional things are good too, except for when they intersect with the romance aspects. I'm enjoying it, it's just not as riveting as I think it could have been?

I watched the first three eps of The First Night With The Duke, which is a transmigration kdrama with Ok Taecyeon - he's the only reason I'm watching it. It's not terrible, but also not really my thing, and of course the historic kdrama costumes don't do anyone any favors, not even Taecyeon. I'll probably watch a bit more of it, just because I've missed him.

My watchalongs: we finished Parallel World, and the last ep was even more weirdly paced than the previous ones, and almost none of it made any sense. We're glad we're done with it. We'll start watching When A Snail Falls In Love next week, which is a rewatch for me, and I'm interested in how well it holds up compared to when I first watched it seven years ago. My other watchalong has finished HPI (s4 - I'm still in the process of translating the subs for s5), and started North of North. Instant hit, as I expected. <3
