A week of feels (It's just Tuesday tho)

This Iflix ad kept popping up on my fb wall.



My sis told me we can watch free Iflix (yes yes I've only knew this last week) because we're using unifi, why not?

(Still, not much shows tho since I don't watch K-dramas. And the shows aren't up to date.
(Good thing is it got Merlin HAHAHHAHAha guess what I'm gonna watch NEXT

Watched it for Jenna Coleman (Clara from Doctor Who).
I've forgotten why I stopped watching it. Because I found out about Legal High? Maybe??

Tbh I'm not a big fan of dramas. I normally preferred books, or movies.
(A few exceptions last year, since I get to be a free-rider for 4 months, doing nothing while waiting for my A levels results. Ahh sweet times~

But once I like the show I'll LOVE THE SHOW there's no turning back muahahahaha.

Victoria



It's a TV mini series about the early life of Queen Victoria.
8 episodes in total, which is also one of the main reason I watched it. The only 'long drama' I've watched these days is 琅琊榜.
Besides, the decoration on sets are so beautiful~~

Slice-of-life, some romance, so politics, overall the show is okay, I think.
Not the best show I've watched, but I get to learn something, since I knew nothing about Queen Victoria before this. (Spent hours on wikipedia while watching this lol)

Just bear in mind it wasn't 100% historically accurate.





Me: "ARGHHH finals are coming."
Me to me: "Hey remember the gif sets from an animation you saw on tumblr ages ago?"

Therefore,
 Kubo and the Two Strings



Kubo, the protagonist, was a storyteller in a small village. By playing his shamisen (Yes, I googled it), the colour papers magically fold into origamis.

I love how the story portrays death, and the monkey and beetle traveling with Kubo is actually HIS PARENTS WHAAATT?????
lol there're times when I wanna shout "JUST GET TOGETHER ALREADY" to them while they're bickering but wow they're his parents?! Actual parents?!

WEIRD 
(I like it)

This isn't the best animated movie I saw, but still,
I don't understand why Minions is more popular than this. Hmph.

Favourtie scene:





Sherlock, Season 4, Episode 2, 
"The Lying Detective"

Finished downloading, sat down with laptop on my lap, finally get to watch this, and the first thing that came out is:


UpSETting?!
Isn't the last episode upsetting enough???

Not gonna write long review here. Will do it after I finished the finale AND my finals.

"Nah I seldom cry." 

*Cried reading 'The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto', cried watching Kimi no Na Wa, cried reading Fantastic Beasts fanfics, and yup, cried watching the first episode where Mary dies.*

I get emotionally attached to fictional characters okaaay?? (sobs

I've seen some spoilers about the second episode being 'the best Sherlock episode EVER'.
After watching it,
YES IT REALLY IS THE BEST SHERLOCK EPISODE.



John : "No you're not dad I am dad." 
Hehehe just needa type it out.

John kept imagining Mary was still with him, making sassy comebacks.
NOnonono I can't handle this angst
*clutches heart*



Sherlock caring about a suicidal woman, Mrs. Hudson being BAMF (The fact that she listened to Beethoven 9th Symphony while driving her sports car cracks me up HAHAHHA), creepy businessman villain, Sherlock hallucinating (which is also kinda creepy), John punching Sherlock....

Yup, this episode is pretty emotional and INSANELY GOOD!

 And the scene:




Excuse me while I bawl my eyes out.

For the ending, the note with "Miss Me?" on it is definitely shocking, but THIS:






OH
MY
GOD

NO IT DIDN'T why didn't I thought of this before?!??!?

NEXT EPISODE 



Mary: "He's the cleverest man in the world, but he's not a monster."

John: "Yeah he is."

Mary: "Yeah okay. Alright. He is."

"But he is our monster."
