I’ve been watching the Korean dorama Castaway Diva</em> lately, and it’s a lot of fun. The story has so many twists, though. Episode 7 especially packed a lot in. If you’re looking for something to watch, I’d definitely give it a look. 😊
Tonight we saw The Mandalorian and Grogu, and honestly, what a fun movie! I’d recommend it even if you’re not really a Star Wars person. Mariko isn’t a huge fan, but she has a soft spot for Jabba the Hutt. So when more Hutts showed up on the big screen, she was thrilled. It was pretty funny to see her light up like that. 😄
I read Remarkably Bright Creatures last year, so when I heard a movie adaptation was coming, I was already interested. What I didn’t expect was to find it available so soon. I put it on with a little extra excitement.
It was really good! I only vaguely remembered the details of the story, but Sally Field as Tova was a standout. She brought that character to life exactly the way I imagined her from the book. Just incredible. There were a couple of cheesy moments here and there, like when Cameron sang at the bar, but overall it was a warm, fun watch that absolutely pulled on the heartstrings. 🎬 I highly recommend it, especially if you liked the book.
I finished the 20-episode live-action Hirayasumi tonight. 😊 I loved every minute of it — the story, pacing, and characters all come together to make a really lovely slice-of-life show. Season one only covers up to book four of the manga (or so I’ve read), so I’m really hoping more seasons are on the way. 9/10
I went to the theater tonight with a friend to see The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and it was a blast. 🍄 Lots of action, genuinely funny moments, and some fun cameos from other Nintendo characters. Loved it!
I’ve been watching Hirayasumi lately, and I love it. 😄 The show is genuinely funny in that low-key, slice-of-life way. And now I’ve started reading the manga in Japanese for practice — very slowly — but honestly that’s making it even more enjoyable.
This Yebisu beer was a gift from a friend, and I have to say, it really shines when it’s ice cold. 🍺 It’s the perfect way to close out a long day of work. Cheers!
