That is simply not true.

Despite wanting to change, Yeon Su and Choi Woong find themselves in the same situation five years later. This is a recap for Our Beloved Summer Episode 15 on Netflix.

Maybe I’m missing something here, but I don’t quite understand the blind praise for this series.

I Have Second Lead Syndrome – Our Beloved Summer Ep 13 & 14 Review

After watching Eun Ho and Sol Yi have such natural interactions, I now have a case of second lead syndrome. This is a review for Episode 13 & 14 of Our Beloved Summer on Netflix.

Check out our previous episode review here.

Another slow episode that gave us some hints at a romantic development between Sol Yi and Eun Ho.

To be quite honest, I enjoyed watching them have a conversation over shucking clams more than the ‘romcom’ scenes between Yeun Su and Choi Woong.

Then again, I’m not really a fan of the romantic comedy genre to begin with, so there’s that, too.

I’m so excited to see the reaction of everyone who fell for Gabi’s redemption speech when the next episode hits.

Seriously though, another great episode.

Man, Bosse really let perverts like Ouken loose on the kingdom, its townsfolk, and most of all – Queen Hiling.

Also, how was a guy like Ouken, Commander of the Order of the Underworld?

Check out our previous episode review here.

Going along with the same thought process I had last week, I still don’t quite think Yeon Su and Choi Woong getting back together is a good thing.

Rumbling, Rumbling, it’s coming

Rumbling, Rumbling 😝

Howdy one and all who have clicked on my Attack on Titan the Final Season Part 2 review!

And since that’s a mouth load to say (let alone type) this will most likely be the last time I use the full title for a while, haha ☺

So before I begin our analysis and recap, I just want to get something out of the way – As many returning readers and those who are familiar with my website will know, I read the manga.

And… I was very angry for a long time over how the series ended.

After spending over 7 months seething at how Isayama ended the series, I decided it was time to take a step back and really re-organize my feelings.

I decided to kill my ego and begin re-watching the series from episode one weeks ago, in order to completely throw out everything I once thought I knew.

I’ve noticed this trend in a lot of us who supported Eren, the Yeagerist, and The (100% full) Rumbling . Some people in the fandom unfortunately haven’t come around (yet), and I don’t want to be one of those people.

Was I upset? Yes. Am I still upset? It depends on what day you ask me.

Either way, whether part 2 ends with chapter 131, and we get the rest in a movie or not – I want to enjoy how things are now. I’ll be going into this with a mindset that the manga and the anime are two separate timelines, and will treat them as such.

I’m not sure if I will be completely plot-spoiler-free, so this is just a warning to those who are anime-only that may stumble upon this post.
