A list of things coming from nowhere...
Diversity win! The people forcing you to play deadly children's games let a trans woman use the right bathroom!
Dude, I just saw someone saw that gi-hun had lost all his personality, character and whimsy and had 0 arc this season. Said he was a completely different guy and my GOD do I want to tear out my own hair or throw them or myself off a cliff.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF PTSD???????????? OF DEPRESSION??? OF TRAUMA AND WHAT IT CAN DO TO YOU?
As someone who knows, yeah, that's what it does to you. Suddenly you aren't the happy person you once were. That doesn't fucking mean your a different person or have no personality.
I thought how gi-hun was characterized was perfect. Spot on. I saw myself in him and I understood what he was thinking or feeling most of the time. Especially since the games this season seem mostly aimed to hurt him specifically, and I can go into that later. With how Season 1 left off, this was how I expected gi-hun to act. It makes sense! That doesn't mean hes another guy.
Also ... No arc, you say? His arc this season was trying NOT to change. I don't know what to call it, a... Test of will, or smt I guess. Yeah it's not a typical arc but by golly am I interested in it.
The entire season, in-ho was trying to hurt him. Saying things that would put more death on his shoulders, more guilt. Since he joined the game. The whole thing was trying to get gi-hun to stop caring about people. To perhaps, let people die. 'to stop being the hero'. That's literally how the season left off. Jung bae is dead and in-ho staged it to make the majority of the responsibility and guilt on gi-hun.
He's trying to break him.
Yet, despite it all, gi-hun keeps trying to save people. Over and over. Even after the purposefully crafted 'special' game when the players killed each other, gi-hun won't let them murder the ones who did. His whole purpose, the whole reason he's in this season to begin with, is because he wants to save people.
And the antagonist is trying to ruin that and break him.
That's his arc. And by golly is it a fascinating arc.
Also, in that post it said that (tho not a trans person) they think hyun was odd representation... and girl. Shut up. As a trans person I fucking love hyun. I cried when that grandma said she was one of the girls too when going to the bathroom. Hyun is so multifaceted and unique and not morally bad or good, she's just a person who makes mistakes. And tho her transness is a big part of her character, it didn't feel forced.
I love them sm ♡♡♡

H Universe Awards 2024—Taking Over the Resident Grump (See the end)
These aren’t just awards; they’re reminders of how art can save lives, challenge perceptions, and bring beauty into our worlds.
Potential Lifesaver Award
🏆 Winner: Baby Reindeer (UK)
Care is not an invitation for possession. Self-hatred may get in the way of justice.
Raw. Unflinching. Devastating. Baby Reindeer doesn’t hold your hand—it grips your soul and refuses to let go. This Netflix original dives headfirst into the messy, painful realities of trauma and abuse. It’s a tough watch, but it just might change how you see the world.
Most Meaningful Character
🏆 Winner: Player 120 Cho Hyun-ju – Squid Game Season 2 (South Korea)
People are more than their circumstances.
Feminine yet fierce, tender but tough, Hyun-ju is a wake-up call to stop boxing people into stereotypes.
And her bond with Player 149 Jang Geum-ja? Absolute dynamite. This silver-haired grandma might not get gender identity, but her care for Hyun-ju speaks louder than any words. Together, they’re proof that humanity is messy, complicated, and full of surprises.
Most Thought-Provoking Series
🏆 Winner: Hell / Hellbound Season 2 (South Korea)
Human hubris isn’t about defying divine forces—it’s pretending to know what we don’t.
If Season 1 got characters questioning their beliefs, Season 2 left them spiraling. This supernatural K-horror goes beyond the shock factor to grapple with big questions about belief, morality, and the consequences of our assumptions.
Best Finale
🏆 Winner: Eternal Night Star River / Cringey Official English Title (Mainland China)
This finale hit us with the ultimate truth bomb: You can only love others fully when you love yourself first. (But Ziqi’s real problem? It’s not some conventional “demon” identity—it’s believing he is one.) Emotional, uplifting, and just the right amount of bittersweet.
Geekiest Series
🏆 Winner: Avatar: The Last Airbender (US)
Cultural depth? Check. Epic fight scenes? Double-check.
Avatar draws inspiration from Inuit and various Asian traditions, blending them into an action-packed adventure that’s as visually stunning as it is culturally rich. For fans of intricate world-building and diverse fighting styles, this series is a must-watch.
Best Aesthetics
🏆 Winner: Luxuriant Blossoms / Blossoms Shanghai (Mainland China and Hong Kong for cinematography)
Every frame of Blossoms Shanghai looks like it belongs in a film museum.
Wong Kar-wai’s signature style shines through, making this a feast for the eyes. And yes, the “director’s color-graded version” fixed those earlier hiccups, giving us the lush visuals we deserved.
Best Music
🏆 Winner: What Comes After Love (South Korea and Japan for soundtrack)
Each track is like a perfume note—delicate, layered, and unforgettable.
The music isn't just background noise; it’s an essential experience, taking you to new places with every note.
Notes and Reflections
Here’s the thing: there’s already a ton of online chatter about acting, directing, and writing. Why add to the noise? Awards in these areas just feel unnecessary—especially since acting, in particular, is so vulnerable to cultural differences. What’s more, assigning a “Best Drama” title is always subjective. Why should you impose your idea of what factors to include or exclude and how to weigh all the factors on everyone else?
On a personal level, Tibetan Sea Flower (or Adventure Behind The Bronze Door) is the drama that hit H hardest this year. Its breathtaking visuals, pulse-pounding directing, and sci-fi adventure kept H hooked. But let’s be honest—why should that matter to anyone else? Is it as thematically meaningful as some of the other dramas on this list? Probably not. Is its storytelling flawless? Not quite. The show repeats a certain trick, and when some big mysteries are revealed, it opts to tell rather than show.
For H, though, some of these choices make sense. Tibetan Sea Flower is part of the larger Lost Tomb franchise, and its place in this intricate, interconnected universe justifies a lot. It’s built for those of us who love Easter egg hunts and piecing together the big picture—something H finds thrilling. But is that enough for it to resonate universally? Not necessarily.
H's more level-headed pick for “Best Drama” would be any series recognized with the Potential Lifesaver Award—dramas that go beyond entertainment to deliver messages that genuinely matter. That's even if the drama conferred the honor were an artistic disaster. Is that something you can accept?
Finally, a word of caution: awards are often shaped by sampling errors. The dramas that get shortlisted—or even noticed—are frequently determined by marketing prowess and social media buzz, rather than their intrinsic quality or impact. Keep that in mind when appraising any list like this one.

Hello? How are the readers on Tumblr? I hope well. I’m here to invite you to check out my work. I’ve recently taken a break (still on it, but will be back soon). I used to write only for the "Scream" franchise, but now I’d like to write for other fandoms such as: Squid Game, Alice in Borderland, All of Us Are Dead, Arcane, Percy Jackson.
I would love to know if you could support my work, please! Thank you, dear ones.
