I'm making my life more complicated - combining few patterns to make some cute baby shoes and hey, one shoe is ready and it's so pretty!!! It took me two days to learn on my mistakes but it's worth it.

While sewing and feeding my brain with simple happiness while watching my tiny one throwing smiles at me I watched two last episodes of ALM and I'm loving it more and more. Like I posted on fan wall the writer has guts! I'm christian myself ( actually they don't give you choice when they babtise you at early age) but opposing to church because I don't like shallow things and at first I really disliked Monty python's humour and now I'm loving it. So maybe I will love this show until the end...

Hi all:
Life is finally seeping into my body. Do not get that horrible flu/cold/whatever that is floating around. No cheek-kissing, no hand-shaking, no air-kissing. Keep safe.

Not much happening. Which is not a good thing. One of my WIPs is giving me a hard time, and yes...i did wait two months before i even started it although the editor who invited me to the anthology gave me tons of time. Am distant from the main character's heart. Which is annoying because this story is all about the heart. I'm apparently lacking the ability right now to commit heart and emotion to a story that requires emotional nakedness. Everytime i see a great actor or actress being brave, vulnerable, and super honest in some story, i shake my head at my wimpiness. So, between that and having to move from this house, well....Stress is my present enemy and constant companion.

Dramas:

WWW -- I'm so liking this. Especially the drama-within-the-drama, "What's Wrong with my sister-in-law?" Thank you, writer-nim for the meta. Thanks also for teaching us all about korean search engines and defamation.

Spring Night -- Let the guilt battle begin. At first i thought the main subtext of this story would be competitiveness but noooooo, it's power-through-guilting other folks.

Secretary's Secret-- Well, finally! Took a long while getting to the truth.

Arthdal -- omigosh, my sweetie Tagon has a tender loving --dare i day "needy"?-- side when he's with his beloved. Am hoping his personality isn't set in stone and that he doesn't go all evil on me.

Perfume -- Why am i hoping for her heroine to be stuck as fat and to lose the rest of her perfume? Because i get so tired of the fat women never getting love unless they're skinny. That coffee body swap story totally annoyed me and this better not disappoint e.

Abyss -- Love this drama. Sure it's ultra-convenient with its plotting and makes characters do stupid stuff but dang, it's addictive. Hoping to see Prosecutor Seo's soul, but that would mean he would have to die and get resurrected. I wouldn't put it past his step-sister. That woman is so emotional about her mother that she might do some weird stuff to wrestle the abyss away from Min...since Min doesn't look like he wants to raise up her mother. I' betting Prosecutor Seo's soul looks like a demented damaged evil child.

That's about it. Have a great weekend, all.

I have a suggestion: place a limit of 5 posts max/hour for each Beanie.

Because while we all have the right the pour love for our stans, seeing 33 posts on the same celebrity over 2 posts (that's 40 posts in total) is annoying. (Especially when it is not related to dramas! But I digress.)

Thoughts?

Hi Everyone! ..... I hope you are all doing well today.

Perfume - It's always funny watching Shin Sung-rok being super fussy. What's not so fun is this show's editing ..... it suddenly jumps to a different scene and I don't know why or how it got there. And we still need more info on that magic perfume.

The Secret Life of My Secretary - Decided to give this a try and watched the first episodes. Still not sure if I'll be watching this one consistently, but I think I'll be checking in on it now and then.

My Absolute Boyfriend - Um, no. I'll be skipping this one.

Nokdu Flower - Great show that I know won't have a happy ending (or at least, it will be very difficult to have one). Love the scenes with Ja-in and Deok-ki. The only thing is, I'm worried about something bad happening to Deok-ki. It's like a concern that's on the backburner ..... but it's there.

Arthdal Chronicles - So, it turns out this is the show I struggle with to get through the episodes. I'm actually a little surprised by this, but there you have it. I am quite curious, though, about Tagon's relationship with his father. The father wants his son dead but I think that feeling may go both ways.

Angel's Last Mission - So I am finding this one very, very interesting even though I think L's overacting most of the time. On the other hand, Shin Hye-sun is just fantastic.

Search Query: WWW: Intended to just check out the first episode, but I think I'll be watching the rest of the show. Quite a trio of interesting, female characters.

That's all for now. Everyone take care and have a great Friday!

I just realize I am watching a Thai, japanese, chinese, and Korean drama each. At different rates but it is fun.

I just started, one ep in, a c drama. It is called My Youth. The characters and tropes are very familiar but it feels zippy and fun. Just 30 min ep and some second hand embarrassment (which I have to pause and watch through my fingers) but it made me laugh too.
I think it is taking place in the 90s. She tried to confess with a tape cassette and she is into a singer called Pu Shu. But I'm not sure I dont have @kimbapnoona to pause and explain references, lol.
But I think it will span through college. I hope it stays as fun as this one ep. It will be nice companion when taking refuge from the heat.

Happy OT Everyone!
I'm marathoning a few episodes of a few shows to catch up after much busy -ness.

Just caught up with Secretary's Secret - what fun this show is. I've been more entertained by it in terms of it's hilarity and the many, oh so many, great couple being together scenes. I'm glad I decided to get into this show.

I'm scratching my head over Absolute Boyfriend. I applauded like crazy when Da Da calmly and deliberately rejected boyfriend. It was even great when she tells Nam Bo Won that what happens to robot has nothing to do with her. And then in about the next scene, although she never showed much in the way of caring for robot in a romantic way, she suddenly is sincerely telling robot that she likes him. Something is off here!

Angel Mission is still going strong. The twists in the ballet corps and foundation were not boring or a waste of time. They show why Yeon Seo should be the boss and how well she learns from Dan. The revelation of Dan's past is not too much of a surprise, but it's good to get the flashbacks more or less in the right sequence.

No time yet to continue One Spring Night or The Wind Blows

Cdramas ... I sort of started The Brightest Star in the Sky, but I'm not 'serious' about it yet. It's a toss up whether I'll continue with it or not. I do like the actress, Janice Wu here, as a spunky girl who can do tech stuff which is usually associated with guys.

My True Friend has possibilities although it's the same bicker and fight between the OTP who'll finally warm up towards each other. I'm again not sure I want to commit to 48 episodes.

Hi everyone, happy Friday!
So this month has been challenging for me. Do many dramas to pick from and so little time to watch them all. However, I am trying to watch as many as I can. ARTHDAL has picked my interest the most and its making the wait so unbearable. And then there's ANGEL'S MISSION, I was hesitant when I tried this show but the moment I watched the first ep, I was a goner and now the wait is killing me a week feels like forever

I'm gonna drop this here for feedback, ideas and advice! Le Familia Dramabeans, Help me!!!!
So, I'm in Tokyo right now and planning a small, quick trip to Seoul. Wish I could do more, but I don't have more than three days max free at any point before I have to head back home in September. The likeliest dates are end-July, and early to mid-August.
What are the dos and dont's? I'll be honest - my main goal is shopping (MAKEUP! SKINCARE!) but I wanna make the most of my time. Of course, I'd wanna do it on the best budget - not so expensive I run out of money the same day. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to start, which places would be good etc etc. Is there anyone here familiar with Seoul shopping places? Is there any beanie in Seoul who could hang out with me? Any advice, any help? PLEASE?!

Two weeks from my last day at work and six weeks from moving to Korea for over a year. I am over the top excited.

Beanies, if you are coming to Seoul in the next year or so and need an acquaintance to show you around or help you out, I am available ^^

After weeks of nothing happening in the Burning Sun/K-entertainment scandals, a bomb was dropped on YGE as the Yang brothers today resigned their positions with the company after it was alleged this week that they were part of a artist drug cover-up, destruction of evidence and a corrupt police investigation.
No one really thought that the criminal scandals would jump from individual artists to management in such a sudden and shocking manner.

Happy Friyay everyone

I'm behind for a lot of show except for Angel. Cant wait for recap cause I'm quite confused with what happen in ep 13-14.

Any Beanie is watching Voice S3? Is it good? Do I need to finish S2 before I can watch S3? Cause I kinda dont care about S2 😬😬

Han Ji Min and Jung Hae In's interview :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iii68RlNhEo

I think Swoon's channel found their mascot with Jung Hae In.

Good morning Beanies! I'm so happy it's almost the weekend. I have been getting little sleep this week which has been my fault. Stayed up until 2am one morning finishing off Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Mass (which was brilliant btw). And other nights I stayed up pretty late watching shows or playing video games. Lots of sleep here I come!

Beauty Inside 8/10 I really enjoyed this sweet drama. The romance between the 2 leads was excellent. They had such good chemistry with each other, which isn't surprising because Seo Hyun-Jin tends to have great chemistry with most of her co-actors. But I love both her and Lee Min-Ki and both the characters they played (they had great kiss scenes!). I even thoroughly enjoyed the secondary leads and the romance that bloomed between them. I loved the gender reversal scene when Kang Sa-Ra promises to take care of Ryu Eun-Ho to his parents. The only thing that put a damper on this drama was the noble idiot episode. I HATE HATE HATE noble idiots. I will take pretty much every trope over that one. it makes me rage and hate the noble idiot character even if I was loving them before. So that sadly put a damper on this otherwise lovely drama. But besides that I would definitely suggest this to others.

General and I 8/10 I'm quite enjoying this cdrama. I really like Chu Beijie's character and his unparalleled love for Bai Pingting. I like how intelligent both he and Bai Pingting are. She is an equal match for him (as shown when they went against each other as generals of opposing armies). And we even got some good kisses and I'm only 15 ep into the drama! There are a good amount of cdramas that will go a whole drama without a single kiss, so I am of course thrilled about this (I love kisses 😝)

I'm heading to my Mom's this weekend to continue Her Private Life which I'm enjoying so far. After we finish that we will start Absolute Boyfriend. I also just started watching My Fellow Citizens (I've only seen 1 ep so far) but seems like it will be fun watch. I am already loving Mi Young.

Watching kdrama has always been about having a certain ability to suspend disbelief but this week has been extremely trying.

Tell me beanies, which one of these scenarios is the least likely:

1) Robots have emotions which can be proven by them actually wanting to be loved
2) Angels live on earth but when they fall in love with a human, they turn to dust
3) Guy is concerned that his girlfriend is cheating on him, but now that he knows the guy in her flat was an extremely hot, cute, nice, intelligent guy (did I mention hot? especially in that green top), he's fine with it because the guy's got a kid so she definitely won't sleep with him.

I think I can believe 1 and 2 before I can believe 3.

Happy weekend everyone!

Perfume is turning out to be more than whatever I expected. Then again my expectation was super low and I expected to dislike it. Hah!

I'm bracing myself. This drama can go all sorts of ways. For now it is positively moving in the direction that Jae Hee will accept her original self as she learns to gain more confidence and life is worthy to live despite it not being as planned.

I want Jae Hee to be happy!!! Come on show you can do it! Let Jae Hee find happiness in the end as her 40 yo self..it doesn't make sense if she stays as 20 yo Jae Hee. (Not that a magical perfume makes any sense to begin with 😅)

The cinematography and music selection for perfume is so fantasylike and dreamlike. I'm kinda digging it. The colours are beautiful. The Disney tunes reminds me of my Disney cartoons watching days. Heh. It feels nostalgic.

I’m passing finals lately & I needed dramas to help me destress so I’ve binged Avengers Social Club & it was very lovely. I loved our ajuhmma trio & their puppy 🐶

I’ve also been watching WWW thanks to everyone on the fanwall; It wasn’t on my radar but seeing everyone talk about it made me curious and I really like it so far. It’s my first time watching Jang Ki Yong; I’m glad I’ll have lots of watching materials for my withdrawal symptoms

I posted this on the fanwall:
WWW made me wonder what searching engine do you use. Do you also use Google or is it like in Korea with bigger sites like Naver & Daum? Also do real time searches show? Here real time searches don’t show & everyone uses Google. I think the only time I’ve used another site is to search google.

Beanies! Help me. I just cannot seem to remember the fairly recent drama which begins with a TV presenter’s wife and son ‘being hunted’. I am pretty sure that Kam Woo Sung played the presenter. I was following the recaps here but missed the last couple of episodes. What WAS this show called? And why can’t I find anything on it?

TGIF! Hope everybody had good week! With so many romcom(and the like) in currently airing shows, we have a few attractive guys(your pick?) -but I was surprised: According to the data published by GoodData Corp. the one who got highest rank on topic matter/ issue-wise among drama casts during 1st week of June was Jung Hae-in(One Spring Night). Han Ji-min(One Spring Night) and Song Joong-gi(Arthdal Chronicles) took the next spots. As for drama, Top three were Arthdal Chronicles, One Spring Night, WWWW in order. I didn't expect One Spring Night would pull such attention considering lukewarm reaction in DB.
Anyway One more cast I want to check the interview from Jo Jang-poong is Park Se-young who played the cool cop wife of Jo Jang-poong(Kim Dong-wook). In last OT, Kim Kyung-nam's profile stated his debut drama was Faith(2012), but I couldn't find which role he played. However it reminded me of my favorite couple in the show - King Gongmin(Ryu Deok-hwan) and Princess NoGook(Park Se-young). It was also drama Park received the acting award for her performance. It was interesting Ryu Deok-hwan was also in Jo Jang-poong.(Too bad they didn't have a scene together)

Per wiki and namuwiki, Park Se-young(31) studied theater in college. She debuted with the drama Inspector Park Mun-su in 2002 when she was a child, but she didn't continue acting to concentrate on her studies. Park returned to acting with the drama "If Tomorrow Comes" in 2011 and "Faith" in 2012. In addition to dramas, Park also did a few films including Sincerity Moves Heaven (2013) and Glorious Day (2014), and The Cat Funeral (2015). Recently she appeared in dramas Whisper and Money Flower (2017) and took a year break before doing Jo Jang-poong. Park will return with the new drama Loyal Army in September (a drama commemorating the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the 3.1 Movement and Provisional Government- like Different Dreams?). Park also did a few varieties including We got married(2014-her partner was Woo young from 2PM), Law of Jungle(2016), and Knowing Brothers(2018). She was also designated as one of the MCs on Music Bank(2013). Park received the first acting award for Faith (2012), and her latest acting award was for SBS's Whisper in 2017. In 2015, Park had a contract dispute for 6 months and signed with new agency when it ended, and did the drama My Daughter, Geum Sa-wol, for which she won an acting award (She got the image of the villain after this role). In 2018, Park signed with new agency CL& Company.

[N interview, 2019.05.31; Starnews, 2019.06.08] Actress Park Se-young met with viewers in a more friendly and fresh way through the drama 'Special Labor Supervisor Jo Jang-poong'. It was a challenge for Park to play Joo Mi-ran, a 10th year detective, a working mom who divorced the lead Jo Jin-gap (Kim Dong-wook) and raised her daughter alone. "I was like a real ajumma" she recalled watching Joo Min-ran in monitor, wearing dull-color clothes with...
