Justice in the Dark (Modu cdrama) has picked up steeply in the second half. It took me like... 5 days to get through the latest ep just because there were soooo many feelings. And some interesting adaptation choices in last weekend's eps that skirt around the censorship but make it abundantly clear that 1) the characters slept together, 2) they're using the interrogation room to have a conversation about their relationship. I'm pretty excited to rewatch the whole thing with English subs.

Book-wise, I have started yet another book even though I already have like... 2 other books I'm actively reading and 3 I put in the backburner. I'm also now on the epilogue chapters of my fav manhwa Goldiluck the Black Kitten and my feelings (and tears) continue to accumulate. 🥺 I really hope there's gonna be an English print publication, though the chances are very slim.

How did they adapt Modu to skirt around censorship? (I have yet to start watching... maybe I really should make a friend watch with me to get over my tv watching block XD)

That manhwa title is so cute! (can always try to request! ... I remember sometime back seeing a post on how to submit requests to most publishers doing tl for manga/manhwa/light novels/webnovels. Shall see if I can dig it up!

The only reason I've been keeping up is because they've only been releasing 2 eps / week and I already saw the first 8 years ago. ^^; In ep 21, the LWZ and FD have this big heart-to-heart conversation and the next day it looks like FD is wearing LWZ's jacket??? Like it's obviously not his usual style and LWZ is wearing a new jacket that day. XD Anyway, big "they slept together" vibes.

And the episode about Feng Bin and Xia Xiaonan (the bullying case), Tao Ran made a comment about how even people in romantic relationships couldn't trust each other—this was an episode where FD and LWZ's tension and trust issues were the central focus which basically spelled out that FD and LWZ were in a similar relationship (romantic). It was very interesting!

(Also there was a glorious kabedon scene where LWZ can't help but look at FD's mouth. XD)
