What the cis call an "End of Year Challenge" we just call a #TransitionTimeline.
Strange to think that this will probably be the most striking year-long timeline I'll ever have. Transition will continue, of course, but probably not at the pace of Year Two.
Also what the fuck, that's me?
Day 30: Was 2023 a good drama year?
Again I can only base my answer on which 2023 dramas I have been able to stream and on which platforms. My platforms are primarily NFx, PRIME (yes IK, Bezos) and occasionally VIKI and Disney+.
With that in mind, to me 2023 was an average year. Only one or two and at a push three dramas stand out in my mind as having really delighted me and kept me transfixed and fully entertained.

Day 28: Theme or premise I would like to see more of in a drama
Relationships between persons in an older demographic, like #CrashCourseInRomance. #DearMyFriends from the writer behind #OurBlues looked at couples and friends in their 70s and up apart from 1 couple.
Also single parents who are men and also including more than just tiny inferences about the LGBTQ community
Day 27: Drama I believed that was missed by some folks
I think that #BehindEveryStar really flew under the radar. Korean language version of French tv show, #CallMyAgent.
Takes a look at the business of show business from the viewpoints of agents at an entertainment agency and their clientele. Witty, quirky, absurd and at times sweet in tone.
Day 23: Longest drama that I have watched
In 2023ish that would be #AlchemyOfTheSouls. I say that because Part 1 with16 eps was in 2022 and Part 2 with 16 eps ended in 2023.
Longest ever to watch:
2019
#MotherOfMine kdrama, a Sat &Sun drama that was 108 episodes
2018 #RyuisRoyalLoveInThePalace #cdrama with 87 episodes
2019
#ArsenalMilitaryAcademy cdrama with 48 episodes
Day 22: Shortest drama that I have watched.
The ok but not great #TheKillingVote at 12 episodes.
