Dark Hole kdrama - Hey Starshine

This post brought to you by that languishing limbo where creativity and laziness intersect. Got insomnia? Try listening to a horror podcast that’s three hours long, narrated by someone with a mesmerizing voice. And said someone can lull to sleep even the best of the night owls around the world. (Make no mistake. The podcast is great and the narrator is good. I really enjoy it. You can listen to it here.)

Clickety-clack! Maybe not too much, though…

Lately, I’ve been on the hunt for The Perfect Keyboard ^TM and it’s all thanks to my sister who made me aware that there are more to keyboards than I actually know about. I’ve been looking into different mechanical keyboards and I’ve settled with Akko 3068, pink switch. I’m not too crazy about loud clicky sounds, so the softer ones are perfect for me. Who knew the world of mechanical keyboards can be interesting? So far, here are some of the things I’ve discovered:

Keyboards come in different sizes, such as 65% and Tenkeyless (TKL).
Their backlight effects are awesome. (See video below.)
Different keyboards have different switches.
Different switches have different levels of loudness and they are categorized by colors.
Blue switch is loud; I know pink and orange are some of the less loud ones. Also red.
They also have the “silent” ones, though. Example: Cherry MX Silent Red and Gateron Silent Red and Black.
And lastly, two words: linear and tactile.

“To actuate a linear switch, you must push it all the way down, like a membrane key. To actuate a tactile switch, you usually push it about halfway down; you can continue pressing the key after that, but you can also take your finger off and move to the next key right away.”
Tom’s Guide

You can even modify your mechanical keyboard! Swap all the keys with a completely new design or just pick a couple of keys to change. Doing that really gives your keyboard a more personal feel.

Halfway through episode four of OCN’s new kdrama, “Dark Hole”, and this was what’s been playing in my head the whole time:

So far, we have:

A psychopath serial killer on the loose
A mysterious black smoke that brings the worst out in people and then turns them into something akin to zombies. (They call them “mutants” in the show, though.)
A shaman who will do anything to get her powers back
A group of high school bullies
A cult that’s frightening on its own

Each of these things are already scary on their own. But what happens when all these occur, one after another? Sometimes I wonder where will I be in the kdrama if that was reality. Will I be out there in the woods with the bullies, surveying the so-called mysterious sink hole 🕳 , unaware of its fatal threat to humanity? And when it comes to choosing which place I will shelter in, would I choose the hospital or the school? Perhaps stay with the cult in their building, with their homegrown water and large cross and their mumblings of “I believe!”?
