Things I want to finish watching soon:
Tokyo Ghoul :re - I’m currently playing the Call to Existence game (currently on sale) and don’t want to advance the story past what I’ve seen, so…
The Untamed - I’m watching it with @norgralin so we need to align our schedules again. We’ve got less than 10 episodes to go. Seeing as I existed at all on tumblr when this came out here, I’m thoroughly spoiled about the plot. 
The watchlist of shows I started but haven’t yet finished, continued:
Doom at Your Service - courtesy of Viki doing a bad job of tracking what I have watched, I lost track of where I am, so every time I try to watch it again I end up rewatching episodes. However I’ve thoroughly enjoyed what I watched and look forward to finishing it.
I’ve got more on my list but this is a good start.
Tokyo Ghoul :re complete. Now it’s time to catch up on Doom at Your Service. And also to watch more The Untamed with @norgralin
I’ve got a potential list of replacements to get the list back to three, but I’m not going to rush it. Stay tuned, I guess?

Okay so, the results are on for the #watchlist poll, and it’s a three way tie.
I’ve decided that, since Heaven Official’s Blessing is also something I was watching with @norgralin, that I’ll wait until after finishing The Untamed to put that on the queue. But it’s definitely now set.
Now it’s just the between first two. 
@norgralin I think I’m going with Bride of the Water God bc , of the two, that garnered the most comments.
So it’s settled, my watchlist is:
• Doom at Your Service
• Bride of the Water God /Bride of Habaek
• The Untamed

I have some free time today before tonight’s game. Let’s see if I can finish Bride of Habaek. In its place will be The Ghost Bride — which I’m also almost done with.

Not gonna lie, I was having a hard time being invested again in the relationship drama. Probably bc it had been a while since I last watched the show so I was tossed right into that mess. Like, it was funny and all, but...
Basically it wasn't until CEO Sin tells Habaek about humans being lonely from birth that things got engaging again. Habaek being openly vulnerable like that is A++. Would have liked it sooner.
There's a *lot* of plot going on in this final episode.
Like, maybe should have had more groundwork laid before. It's also legitimately interesting plot, rather than throwaway plot being thrown at the wall for extra finale drama.
Like, the setup was there since the first episode, but it felt somewhat forgotten. This is kinda making me want to rewatch it at some point, to see if that holds water.
Okay but the acting in this episode. The very meaty emotional conflict and interpersonal growth.
I actually teared up.
One episode doesn't feel like enough for all this. It's got so much good though?
I wonder who else saw Gap Dong before they saw this, and as such were surprised to see the father being so legitimately selflessly kind.
One of those: "the actor has range, tyvm" moments.
Today is a very distracted brain day, so I'm watching this veeeeery slowly, in case anyone is wondering why it's taking me multiple hours to complete a 1hr 23min episode.
I'm about halfway through.
So… I finally finished Bride of Habaek/Bride of the Water God.
Some spoiler-free thoughts before I get into the meat of it.
One realization is that I’m not the intended audience —and to be clear, this isn’t a bad thing.
For starters, that’s true by default. (In many contexts.) Related to that, is the fact that me not being the intended audience doesn’t mean I won’t get anything out of it.
And I did. I especially liked… Well… spoilers ahead.
The final two episodes, for me, were great. Like hit so many emotional beats perfectly.
The discovery with her father, the realization implications of both his death *and* him being stuck in the water.
The way that what happened *was*, in the end, what Habaek was meant to do.
And honestly how this was all lead up to even in the “petty arguments”. It fit together very well.
Before, I had thought that a lot of the other stuff could be culled from the show.
I’ve since changed my mind. This is what I meant by not being the intended audience.
I was significantly more interested in the backstory and lore than the love polyhedrons. However, for many, that’s the point and this was the icing. (And it’s very good icing, IMO. Enough to keep me around.)
But that’s a different convo I need to unpack one day.
One of the things I would have liked to be handled differently was Moo Ra’s arc. In that she barely has one?
Don’t get me wrong, she’s an interesting character. It’s just… The biggest “shift” in her character is more about us realizing her motivations were more complex than they seemed.
But once we get where she’s actually coming from about the situation, not much changes.
But that’s not a huge deal.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on Bride of Habaek. The good. The bad. The spoilery.
What were yours?

@jillithd
He’s fun, yeah. I think they could have done more with him.
What’s funny is I thought to myself: that actor looks like an idol (as in he looks like he *could* be one). And so I looked him up to see if he was.
And it turns out, he literally looks like an idol, in that his younger brother is one, and while they’re obviously not identical, there is some family resemblance.
@jillithd same actually
Do we know when that will be roughly?
@baguette excellent! 
Happy to be of punny service
