The Whelmed Life
Documenting my life through mostly incoherent ramblings of a fan girl.....
Hey there! My name is Ope, a self-proclaimed bookworm who identifies as a fangirl first—being human takes 2nd place. I love all kinds of reading media: books, manga, webtoons but I've also dipped into other fandoms along the way like k-pop, anime, Asian dramas etc. Did I mention that I also love learning and discovering new things? Yup, I am just a full-time hobby collector and this channel is a slice of my life. If any of that sounds remotely interesting to you, pull up, you just might find a relatable stranger in me :)

Gang, I’m straying from my usual upload this week. It’s kind of a monthly wrap-up, except instead of talking about books, I’m talking about one drama series, because it took over my life in April.
Is anyone else here a Korean/Chinese drama watcher? Are you watching Perfect Crown? What have you been watching? This is mostly a video I filmed for myself honestly so I’m not expecting it to perform well lmaoooo, hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Gang, consider me out of commission this week 😭😭 I’ve been watching Perfect Crown obsessively, the episodes that have aired so far and fan edits, obsessed is an understatement. I was also in New York this past weekend for Bookcon and the MDZS cafe at dimension poptown, which kept me pretty busy. I hope you all had a lovely weekend and have a great week ahead ♥️🥰

2026 has gone off to a bit of a rough start. My plans to film some wrapup videos at the end of 2025 were thwarted by a flu that lasted from right after Christmas well into the new year. I thought I’d fall back on some back log but upended a bottle of coke into my purse yesterday, taking the iPad I was using to edit today’s video out of commission until further notice 😌
I’ll try to edit the video on my laptop but that means I won’t be able to upload a video today. I hope your year is going as well as it can so far ♥️
Not so spoiler: next video is a review of Run Wild

Today’s video is a long overdue manga update. It’s taking a while to upload because I am a certified yapper and it’s quite long 😅

It's still a work in progress, but here's the promised file of my danmei collection, including merch and editions in other languages. The site is up and will be updated in real time as I make changes, although I'm not done adding the links. I'm also traveling and haven't had a chance to edit today's video, so there won't be an upload today. I hope you all had a good weekend. Happy reading 🤗

Hello everyone!
I hope you’re all doing well. I have two danmei videos in the works and was curious if there’s one you’d like to get faster. This is for next week’s upload by the way….
