February 20242/19/2024 1. 세작, 매혹된 자들 - 魅惑之人This has to be the star of the month. It's a beautiful and gripping story about two people who love each other while one constantly fights the urge to revenge the other for her lost friend and father. The lead actress is my favourite Korean actress, ever. The lead actor - i've never encountered him before - but his acting is fantastic! The child actor is likely THE best little actor I have ever come across, to-date! He has a long way to go! He's just amazing... The story can really dig into your brain a bit. At first it was a slow start. It took some time to build up to the moment when they do meet each other. But it was needed in order for the later events to take place. You do see the two characters become drawn to each other, the future king - still the prince that had at last returned from China then - did not even know that she was not a man, but already considered her his closest friend - 忘形之交 - the highest and closest form of friendship between two people there can be in Chinese culture. But already then, they were so drawn to each other that she had already fallen for him - for his character, for feeling so close to him by heart as friends. And he, also, without knowing why he was so drawn to her, and so trusting of her, as she only appeared as a man, and a male friend. they treasured each other and their friendship. One day, she was determined and stood up for him in a crisis of false allegation, it had gotten her imprisoned, She was then framed by a long-time suiter as having produced a false claim about him. At the same time, he had lost his brother - the king, to poison. He was grief-stricken. And she became imprisoned. The last time they saw each other, was when she kneeled in bondage and said to him she did not make these claims at all, although he turned her down on the spot in front of all the other people, as a new king, he couldn't do such a thing, of course, not without going through a whole series of trials for her and likely further time in the prison. So he stated in public right then and there to cut off her tie to him, that he had no friend, he could not, as a king now. “寡人”嘛, a king is ultimately a lonely spirit. When he tried to rescue her behind-the-scenes, as she was being sent away - to exile, she had tried to escape already and fell down a rock cliff into a waterfall. She didn't know he did this, even though it was so obvious to the audience. She survived, rescued and helped by her servants, but had hidden away from society ever since. In grief of losing her, he never touched any of the wives that had been married to him. So she returned, 3 years later, full of the resoluteness for revenge, as she had lost her dear friend on the journey of exile, not knowing what he tried to do to set her free from that tribulation. And she found the opportunity to enter back at court again, as he had missed a chess mate, and had begun a recruitment in public in search for the best one to play chess with him. Of course she won. She came back, the king could summon her every day any time as he wished. But he does find out she's in fact a woman of course. Episode by episode, things become more and more interesting. It's a love story ultimately, but also one about mindgames, righteousness and sense of duty. It's great. I highly highly recommend it! 2. 薬くすり屋やのひとりごと - The Apothecary DiariesI LOVE this story.
If there were anyone who I could not relate to more in an alternate universe it would be 猫猫. The glow in her when she encounters new Chinese medicine items or steps inside a herbal medicine store is the same reaction as mine whenever I arrive at a Chinese medicine store in China or anywhere else. I loooooove the smell of herbal medicines all mixed together. You can just tell it's her true passion. Offer some herbal medicinal ingredients, and she'll be up for doing anything. In the plot of the story, she plays quite a detective role which makes the story interesting as she unravels various mysteries and uncovers the truth behind every case that's been handed to her to deal with. I love the vibe between her and 壬氏 The two of them always make me beam or chuckle. This is the follow-up season from last season's release. I was more than happy to see it come back and continue on. Next time I'm back in Japan, I'll definitely grab the latest manga that comes out then.
