[Drama Review] Cruel Palace - War of the Flowers

 

Yam Jeon - a woman with hands redder than her lipstick and soul blacker than her hair.
King Injo - traumatized by bowing in front of Manchu Emperor and easily played by one woman.
Prince Sohyeon - a tragic visionary who never bloomed.
Princess Min Hui - a strong woman desperate to save those close to her.
Kim In - an eunuch who knew too much.
Prince Bongrim - cautious to the point of callousness. 
Nam Hyeok - a broken man who loved the devil.
Those are main dramatis personnae of this scarlet red drama about love, betrayal and greed that never stops, that is never satiated, that destroys everything on its path.

Nowhere Boys


   I stumbled upon this little series (13 episodes of the first season, 25 minutes each) during my desperate search to find something to watch. I read the synopsis and decided to give it a chance. And I don't regret it at all. According to IMDb: "This fantasy action-adventure series follows four teenage boys who get lost in the forest and discover, when they return home, that they are in an alternate world identical to theirs except for one startling difference - they were never born." 
How cool is that?

Wow, Fantastic February!


   In terms of music, of course. And it's not about the music that was released in February, but the music *I* discovered in February.
And that makes it fantastic.

Disclaimer: I will not review Kim Jonghyeon's "BASE". My rational mind wants to, but my devotion gets the better of me.

So, off to some music! There will be lots of extremely slow, sad ballads, so beware!
