Just rewatched this with friends. There’s a lot of classics by Bong Joon Ho, and Lee Chang Wook which were my childhood. I love the vengeance trilogy by Park Chan Wook as well as Tale of Two Sisters by Kim Jee Won.
I think I already made a master list of K-Indie I used to listen to back in 2017-2019 here on this app. But I’ve been revisiting some Korean music like Silica Gel (band), Thornapple (band), Cacophony (soloist), Mot (band) and CIFIKA (soloist). A lot of people mentioned Mid-Air Theif and relative artists/projects so yeah.

first thing i noticed was Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which is absolutely electric
looks like they have a fantastic collection of Asian filmmakers: Wong Kar Wai (moody, romantic), Hirokazu Koreeda (deeply humanizing, works with child actors), Bong Joon Ho (always a fun time), Apichatpong Weerasethakul (atmospheric and weird af)
they have a bunch of oscar films too. highly recommend Past Lives

And you’re set for life (with the added effort of maintaining it).
I used to try to surround myself with people who I thought were cool and also tried so bad to fit in. I still do feel conscious about that sometimes when I front for a person I place on a pedestal or really am infatuated with (in a platonic way).
I’ve also had friends I get easily frustrated with who point out my mistakes as jokes but I’ve realised are super flawed and insecure. It becomes a relationship where you slowly turn into a projection of them. (I’m not sure how to phrase it). And I’m the kind that forgives very easily the moment someone is nice to me.
Howeverrrrr… over the past few years and more so over the past year I found a group of people I could be open and comfortable with… and I have to say an open and fulfilling relationship with the right people and friends will make you a much better person overall. I’ve also been so inspired by the circle of friends I’ve got now.
It’s not necessarily the friends who always ask you to go out to shop or hang but the friends who you do things with and talk about anything with.
Gratefully & Gratituously,
I love my friends.

With the checkerboard at the back? That’s right. I love using them unironically. And I love pictures of rocks.
