Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! (2020)

Yeah, I think I was a little too caught up in the angst of this drama 🫣 But I can totally see the cozy cafe vibes too!

When I think about this drama, it comes to mind more mafia work than pastry chef, I was totally into it because of the second lead couple 😂

Currently watching this anime, the story is absolutely tooth-rotting 🤭

I totally understand Miyano’s embarrassing moments when Sasaki talks about BL in public, who hasn’t been Miyano at some point?

I had this book on my TBR, but I wasn't sure if I should read it. Do you have any reading recommendations on feminism and popular culture?

I've had In My Head and Phoenix on repeat since yesterday. I think they're my favorites from the album. I wasn't expecting the pop style, but I love it.

What are your favorites from the comeback?

Thanks! I think this one is also licensed in Spain so I will look!

I just finished reading this manga. The story is very sweet and short, just what I need these days that I don't have any time.

I hadn't read anything by the author before, but maybe I'll try some of her other works 🤔

the feminine urge to leave everything behind and start over in a new place

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Totally understandable on her part. In my group of friends, we recommend it to each other because we like to share the trauma 🥹

I haven't seen this #cdrama, but through Instagram, I feel like I've seen it all.

When I have time, will I watch it all, even though I already know the ending? Absolutely.

@daebakpodcast.bsky.social @dramaddict.bsky.social With such good recommendations, I don't think I can help but start watching it. I hope I have time this weekend 🍿

I'd seen him in Alice in Borderland and Three Star Bar in Nishi Ogikubo, but I didn't know he also appeared in Cherry Magic! That BL has been on my to-watch list for a long time, so maybe it's a good time to watch it.

I'm a little sad that the comeback wasn't promoted more; it seems like a lot of people don't know she's releasing a new album. But the teaser looks great!!

There isn't even an IG account, so it's not a self-promotion to sell; she simply wanted to give something away at the concert.

A friend commented that it was a bit random, but I think it captures the friendly side of K-pop and belonging to a fandom very well. Beyond making photocards, this girl did something handmade and wanted to convey a positive message to the rest of Stay.

The photo shows a crochet heart made by a fan and a card that says “You Make Stray Kids.”

The only freebie I got at the concert yesterday was this crochet heart. On the back of the card, it says, "You are as important as the bias you love the most." It’s so cute ❤️

I didn't know about this drama! But I'm putting it on my to-watch list. At least it has a plot!

This year, I haven't seen a Korean BL series that I've found engaging. I haven't seen many, either, but I've found hard to finish almost all of them. There's no plot beyond the characters' inability to communicate, and there's not much chemistry between them.

Something Is Not Right (2025)

I finished it yesterday and it's definitely already one of my favorites this year.

I'm going to miss them 🥺

Not me (2021)

Aww, that's so cute! 💖 But who wouldn't let it ring if the song is "okey dokey"?
