CW: The Imperial Coroner (c-drama review and possible transphobia)
Innocent young girl comes to the big city, makes some killer autopsies, and wins the heart of a prince. There's also crime, rebellion, and treason.
I enjoyed the ride - it's a historical drama not afraid to go "historical" if needed. Add female friendship and middle aged women who _aren't_ bitches to the mix. But the role of the eunuchs felt unfresh.

CW: The Untamed (review)
The infamous black magician Wei Wuxian wakes up after being dead for 16yrs. Now he has to find out why - but first a(n ejoyable) detour into his epic origin and his relation to Lan Wangji.
To spare anyone just as impatient as me; the flashback ends at ep 31 - enjoy the story. I also recommend watching the series twice to enjoy the first eps and entangle the subplots. It's definitely good enough for that.

CW: Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories s1&2 (review), food
Unfortunately only two seasons are available on Netflix Nordic, because I'd gladly watch all five + some extra. The series is about love in all its shapes; love for friends, for old teachers, for one's job, and between, well, lovers. Every episode also features a dish of Japanese comfort food. Softspoken humour and very wholesome.

CW: Hospital Playlist (2prt review), food, gore
They eat _all the time_ in this show. Save for the MacD product placement everything looks delicious, but if food is triggering in any way avoid this show. For my own part I'm ready to swim to Korea and Eat Everything. Also, if you eat while watching, be aware a lot of time is taken up by gruesome operation scenes and bloody accidents.
1/2

CW: Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carrol (review)
TBH there's not much plot in this - it's mostly Alice getting around a strange country with weird characters. It's still one of those classics that _are_ enjoyable to read. You won't regret it, but you may ask 'Dafuq was this???' afterwards.

CW: Salty review of Dune (2021)
Sorry filmmakers, until you've done real work on Frank Herbert's philosophy you can't make Dune happen. He spent ~10yrs on it, and it's not just some exotic spice (ahaha), but the thing that gives the story its sparkle. This movie is closer to what Dune fans want (yay), but for a person who hasn't read the book (guilty) it's just weirdly slow, boring way too often, and literally beige (Swedish slang for lame/vanilla) 3/5
