Mind ShamblesThere's perfect, in the imperfections,
well worn scrappy fabric edges,
the scratchy start to
a favorite record.
It's as if the truth, unfiltered,
is letting humanity
grin through the gaps.
Art is not exact,
not simply time,
capturing a tiny shard of now.
Instead, the imperfections
spur reflections on
the true message,
hidden like lemon juice scribbles,
for us to decode.
Music is not just safe sound,
fit for lifts and foyers,
but the plucking and tapping
of woven frequency,
intertwining amid memories
and writing new soundtracks
for our feelings.
Perfection is the enemy.
Seeking perfection places pressures,
prompts sharp edges to arms,
drives people to despair
and high bridges.
Embrace imperfect.
It's the only thing we all have in common,
and yet makes us unique.
Ronsboy67The (imo) thoroughly deserved win for #kDrama #YouAndEverythingElse in the Baeksangs prompted me to me make another plug for the Drama it reminded me of. As very good as the #kDrama was, #twDrama #ImperfectUs was better still.
Also, it marked Lin Yi Chen's return to the screen after some time. An actor who made her name playing sweet, cute roles, she's now done several Dramas and movies in which "sweet" and "cute" are noticeable by their total absence
@AnnaAnthro It was a very, VERY good #kDrama really solid performances and intelligent writing. I still think of it as the younger, lesser sibling of #twDrama #ImperfectUs but it is easily in my top 10 #kDrama of the 2020s. So VERY glad "let's make the psychopathic mass rapist a romcom lead" Drama didn't win
8.25/10 for #kDrama #YouAndEverythingElse - I started it because the synopsis reminded me of the outstanding #twDrama #ImperfecttUs and from beginning to end, this one suffered in comparison. For example, The concept expressed in the screenshot was better delivered by #ImperfectUs , which used quantum physics as a source of analogies and allusions. BUT the performances of the 2 leads in the #kDrama were so great they kept me going to the overlong, slightly mawkish end. The score is for them
@joakimfors @JillsJoy If you haven't already seen them my top 5 #TWDrama of the last 10 years are #SomedayOrOneDay #ImperfectUs and #ImMarriedBut (all 9.5+) also #NotAMurderStory and #ArcOfLife (both 8.5)
Drama Recs Challenge Day 4
Many #KDrama and #CDrama possibles in this #DramaRecsChallenge but the two female leads in #TWDrama #ImperfectUs simply smashed it. The show really needed them BOTH to shine darkly to soar, & they did.
Nevertheless, even though the show relies HEAVILY on quantum physics for analogies and explanations, there's no uncertainty about my pick. I'm giving this to Lin Yi Chen, the central lead (in the Drama and the image) for playing so COMPLETELY against type.

Day 27 A Drama too few people watched
5 nominations at the 2024 Asia Contents Awards & Global OTT Awards and 5 nominations by me for the EYDC

Day 20 A Drama that made you sad or made you cry
Several, but two above all
#Jdrama “I'm Back! Kotaro Lives Alone” – the sequel to Kotaro Lives Alone, the 10 year old lead stunned with his delivery of raw emotion
and for an actual 2024 Drama
#TWDrama #ImperfectUs – the last few episodes were gut-wrenchingly good
The #TWDrama #ImperfectUs will not be to everyone's taste, but it has generated a remarkable photo spread. The two leads, Lin Yi Chen (Ariel) and Hsu Wei Ning (Tiffany Ann) appear in a spread for Glass China, and besides both looking stunning, the shoot was EXCEPTIONALLY well thought out. This one image from the spread basically sums up the Drama.

Two VERY different tens overnight.
#KDrama #UnderTheGun was VERY short VERY sweet with a ridiculously pretty FL, a handsome non-tsundere ML and a simple romance well told, gratifyingly garnished with great kiss scenes
#TWDrama #ImperfectUs was, ironically, my first ever TW-Ten. It was perfect - the casting was spot on, the dialogue really nuanced (and that's just the subs!) and its maudlin-free final episode stomped me right in the feels and had me bawling like a baby. OUTSTANDING!
