My Very Own Merry-Go-Around
I've noticed a trend with myself lately when it comes to kdrama watching, and it tends to be of the wild, pendulum swinging variety.
That's right, princess. I'm looking at you.
So I flipped on Gaksital.

Women and Creative Writing in Kdramas
I only wish I looked this good after a night of writing |
As a woman writer, I find myself looking out for women who also write in kdramas, feeling an instant sense of connection when I find them. It's as if we're part of a secret society! There's a handshake and everything!
But I genuinely find their lives and stories interesting, because the drive to write can give a character a complexity and insight into their fellow humans that make for compelling stories.
I haven't found too many of my fellow writers yet, but I'm keeping a weather eye out!

The Bridal Mask
I...have so many feelings about this drama. Which is both a good and a bad thing--the absolute worst is a drama that leaves you lukewarm. Alternately, what I feel is strong, but not always positive. Below the cut for a longer than usual dissection of my latest watch.

Welcome!
Welcome to Midnight Kdramas!
This is going to be mostly a place for me to vent my feelings about kdramas I've loved or hated, to enthuse about kdrama-y things, or to give in to my creative side when I feel prompted to write something in the fanfic line.
Don't know what kdramas are? Fear not! There's always time to get on the new and exciting trend of the Korean drama, in which love triangles and noble idiots abound, improbable reasons for cohabitation and loan sharks crop up like dandelions, and your One True Love is almost always an icy cold chaebol with a heart of gold. The fandom is only getting bigger, and we always welcome new converts (I should know, I am one!).
So let's get on this hallyu wave. The tropes might repetitive sometimes, but there's always another drama that will leave you clutching your heart with hope and love.
