Stop wishing me a good husband and start wishing me something I actually need (Strangers From Hell sequel and Lee Dongwook as a vampire)
Agust D2 new sic video reminds e of the story of the man in the iron mask. A great movie.
Think about the au.
That yoongi had no idea who he was, just some orphan. But people come to him and tell him that his twin is a king who’s abusing his power. Yoongi then joins a mission to replace the king with him.
Just a thought.
Could you imagine?
I get what this person is saying but I don’t agree.
I read Seven Days the manga and watched the films years before I read Date Me Bryson Keller, and while they are similar with the whole ‘date for a week thing’ it’s different. I can see how the author of the book drew inspiration or took Seven days as a writing prompt. But the character’s are completely different. The whole dating for a week is a dare and is well explained. In the manga it is passed off as the guy breaking it off with girls because they don’t click. In Bryson Keller, it’s a dare and a game.
So no. I wouldn’t say that it is plagiarising. He only copied the ‘date for a week’ concept which I have read in other books as well. It’s a pretty common prompt. The book is so much more than that. The plot is about having the confidence to be yourself and how the main character develops his courage and bravery. It’s also about him confronting his family and finding the will to fight for himself.
The book also explores what it means to me mixed race and LGBT. It puts to words the complexity with being mixed and growing up, while also dealing with the difficulties of coming out.
While I loved Seven days the manga, it was all about the romance.
I will repeat myself. The book is far more complex and deserves not to be judged by the manga. Just as the manga should not be judged by the book. Both deal with their own cultures and characters. The writing prompt maybe the same. But they are also so different.
Please give them both a try. They are amazing.
It’s 2020 and people are still out here westernizing non-Western works and selling it as their own I’m so tired. Please go read Tachibana Venio & Takarai Rihito’s Seven Days instead.
The Mega Fandom Update
Honestly, you guys, I didn't like Beyond Evil, but I forced myself through 3 episodes of mehness because my fellow TDJ bishes told me it was good and I trusted you guys.
However, I am extremely glad that I kept going because once we hit episode 4?????? Oh men, I'm ready for this show now. I'm in episode 6 and I trying to slow down. I will really hate it when I get to the end and there's nothing left to watch. I love this show.
Anyhooooos, I said I'd comment on the similarities between all 4 of them as I go so I'm here with a longer list.
Spoilers for the following movie/shows:
The Merciless
Beyond Evil
The Devil Judge
Strangers from Hell
I was drawn to them all because of the queercoding of the characters. I'm not going to lie about that so let's just get that out of the way. All 4 of these stories are badass, bl dramas hiding in plain sight in my opinion.
They all feature a pair of men that have a sizable age-gap between them. We don't know the characters' ages, but if we go by the actors', the closest is a 7-year gap from SfH.
They all centre around crime. (M: crime syndicate, BE: murder investigation, TDJ: criminal prosecution, SfH: serial murder)
They all have a bad ass woman in law enforcement who takes a special interest in the case.
They all have possessive sidekicks who kind of worship the ground the DILF walks on. I would like to point out that that TDJ is the only one where the sidekick is much younger than the DILF (K). Also, I'm not so sure about Jeongju yet, but he hasn't shown any signs of possessiveness yet. Let's see in the future.
*the side kicks in M and SfH died. We don't have confirmation about K being dead yet and I haven't finished BE, so we'll see next time.
They all have a "community" that surrounds the DILf with unerring loyalty. Whether it's a gang of mobsters, the police precinct, the ragtag revolutionists or building tenants.
The younger guy in the pairing has accused the DILF of murder, at least once.
Like, I'm happy about these shows. It's been a while since I was immersed in kdramas and I'm not even surprised that these are the shows and movie that have dragged me back in.
If you have watched one or two of these shows, I advise that you check out the rest. They're all so engaging.
First person perspectives really annoy me.
me: *opens fic*
fic: “I-”

Viking AFTG AU??
We know the Vikings travelled. So having wymack as the chieftain of the Foxes that take in a wide range of people who became Vikings. Those from all over the globe. Nicky from Spain. Dan and Matt from Northern Africa. Allison from north Europe. Renee would have joined via trade along the Silk Road. The monsters and Kevin turning up along the road.
And Neil, the son of a war lord coming tumbling into their life during a raid maybe?
Andrew wearing black leather gauntlets?
The monsters as warriors?
Just Andrew in leather and fur and carrying a huge axe??
Aaron and Allison as archers?
Them in a long boat?
The images would be great.
with how sqq looks at lbh here, how was sqq ever surprised that lbh fell in love with him ;-;
