3315k - fake stats - 8115k - atleast, and quite possibly above 10million

and with word cup championship - boy gonna make new entry.

It's Friday, it's been a long week, but next week I'm going to go see a couple of my kids who I haven't seen since last summer, so that's one good thing to look forward to.

Also, I'm very very very very glad I dropped Oh! Master because that turned out to be even more of a hot mess than I thought. Lee Min-ki, you owe me a good happy drama. It's been much too long.

Anyone watched anything good lately? I've still got a Vincenzo sized hole in my heart schedule. No horror, sad, or super makjang wanted though.

After Yoo Jae-suk won Daesang TV winner on Baeksang yesterday (May 13, 2021), I digging this to his Wiki page on his performances (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Yoo_Jae-suk_performances), he got only nine K-dramas apart from his numerous non-scripted shows. His most recent K-drama was his cameo on Zombie Detective as a nameless actor who played zombie on horror film poster.

BTW, I love him because he was one of all-time favorite Korean media personalities. So people already shipped to him by years and even four decades and still counting. I don't him to be retire and I wanted him to be a "veteran" entertainer. After 30 years of debut as a comedian, he gained old and new friends including not only on entertainment, but business. I also felt excited to him for seeking one of Korean entertainment hall-of-famer.

To all Indian beanies:
In my own opinion...
I felt afraid that India might include essential places (e.g. drugstores, groceries) for the Covid-19 cases' clusters and I also felt nervous when someone who reporting Covid-19 cases on essential places might considering a massive shutdown on any essential services due to reporting unexpected Covid-19 cases there. If we do this, then India might considered a year-long lockdown to December 2022 or January 2023 and it's really the largest economic failure in India that resulted the first Indian Great Depression. :(
In real-life, we must continued to pray for India to end the Covid-19 pandemic. Indian beanies, stay safe at home!

After watched the amazing teaser of Hospital Playlist season two, I wanted more cover and original songs to be its official soundtrack/OST!
Just like me, who's excited for second season of Hospital Playlist so far?

I was a bit under the weather this week and treated myself to (finally) binge-watching Chocolate. I have to say, Ha Ji-won (as Cha-young) calmly and competently cooking wonderful dishes has to be the most soothing thing in dramaland.

Also, as I definitely felt better by the time I finished Chocolate than when I started it, it will go down as an officially 'Healing' drama.

Silly me. When I think of "doom" and not having long to live, I think of Youth of May, not Doom at Your Service.

What happens if a Truck of Doom drives over a Cliff of Non-Doom?? If a Falling Human of Doom lands on a car that is half-submerged in a River of Resurrection?

While I couldn't get excited over the real estate plot line of the upcoming "Monthly Magazine Home" despite my love for Jung So-min, watching their character interviews in the Youtube 'Making Film' where they were just oozing out warmth and brightness just sold me as it seems like the whole cast really had a great time filming together (during the super long 8 months it took for them to complete filming!!!). Hopefully that group chemistry will translate well onscreen! (Side note, I've never been a huge fan of Kim Ji-seok, but after following him on IG & hearing what JSM said about him in interviews, he seems to be a genuinely funny and caring guy who I'll be on the lookout for in the drama!)

For those interested, the 'Making Film' clip can be found here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO3kIJ_GNTc)

This upcoming drama seems to be slipping by with no notice and not much media play, especially since it's unfortunately airing around the same time as bigwigs "Hospital Playlist 2" & "I Know But"...but here's to hoping this smaller drama will gain some traction and pick up some new fans once it airs!

I am rewatching "Money Flower," so I composed a piano piece inspired by the drama. If you are in the mood for a tango full of tension and angst, listen to it on my fanwall.

Hi Beandom!

Here for my (seemingly) monthly update for you all. It's been a couple emotionally draining, roller-coaster weeks. One of my former employees committed suicide at the end of last month, so that has been weighing on me. He will count as a victim of the pandemic. So much sadness. But my brother and sister-in-law also just moved into town in the past couple weeks, which brought much happiness. My mother had all her children with her on Mother's Day which had not happened in over 20 years, so a milestone there as well. We are all vaccinated, and my kids will be today! I have a wonderful family and excited that we're all here (although I'm less than rosey about them in my writings-lol). But busy-ness rules the rest of my life. I am enjoying my new found singing groups (some Beanies have started singing with me as well). I've discovered that everything takes practice, but I think I'm getting better and bettering myself is a good feeling. Never stop learning kids, you get anxious or depressed if you do--at least I do.

New dramas I'm watching: Bossam and Doom at Your Doorstep Service. (Someone should pay me be rename dramas.) Liking both so far. SIG, is....something else. I don't get it. I don't find him attractive, just mesmerizing.

Still watching: Sell Your Haunted House, Money Flower.

WOuld like to start: Kim Ji Sung's new real estate one. Seems that housing is a theme for me right now.

Story:

The math genius and my son. Apparently, the math genius really likes my son. They play video games online together, which just started this year. My daughter and son have played video games before, but with the pandemic and being virtual all year, several more kids have gotten into their group, and one is math genius.

Daughter: So math genius just loves brother now and always asks if he's around to play.

Son: It's no big deal, I totally beat him every time.

Daughter: It's because he's an only child and doesn't have any brothers himself, probably.

Me: *feigning disinterest* Probably. He should come over this summer and you all could game together.

Daughter: Math genius is already complaining he's going to be so bored and I think he's worried we will stop playing with him.

Me to hubby: *whispering* We should adopt him.

Hubby: *whispering back* He already has parents.

Me: *still whispering* But not in-laws.

Hubby: *rolls eyes*

Moral of the story: Vaccinated kids = summer play dates.

2nd moral: Son will be leaving our house soon, I'm going to need another son, right?

3rd moral: Have a great week everyone! Say some prayers for India and other countries struggling now as well. Fighting!

Beanies, today I got my first vaccine dose. NGL, I was a little emotional when I arrived at the vaccination center and was getting everything processed. The doctor asked me how I was as he prepped my arm, and I told him, "I feel like it's Christmas!" So today, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for science, but also a determination that we must continue to be vigilant and that every person on this planet deserves the a jab in the arm and the medical care they need.

In less important news, my parents told me that they may put in an offer on a new home. The thought of never again seeing my childhood home makes me Feel Some Feelings; I am happy for them as they move into retirement (and closer to their grandchildren), but I feel a very selfish and sentimental feeling of grief thinking about it nevertheless.

...and speaking of "Nevertheless," starring Song Kang and airing next month (does he ever sleep?), I watched the 57th Baeksaeng Awards yesterday. All in all, seemed like the choices were solid - though I was bummed for Shin Hye-sun, who dazzles on screen.

Stay well, Beanies!

Question. Does following people on DB actually do anything? I was kind of expecting to be alerted to people's posts / see who I was following but all I can see is the number on my profile... No interactivity.
Am I being stupid?

Happy weekend all! The big news in my neck of the woods is that I’ve quit my job 😱 and am going to be full time parenting for the foreseeable future. It is a somewhat terrifying prospect because it’s such a big change - but I am looking forward to easing the daily scramble a bit and spending more time with my kids while they’re still young enough to want to 😅 I have four more days of paid employment and then I am done!

heyy dreamiesss
so i actually havent commented in a while maybe 4/ 5 months now?? i used to do weekly updates of all the dramas i was watching and just like life updates but i really haven't been watching any dramas to completion lately so idk. I have recently started "Mine" which actually feels like a drama i might watch but i'm not sure its only just started, i hope it stays interesting though.
Based on the comments here i might watch sell your haunted house or doom at your service but unsure.
idk why i decided to write here today, but if anyone has any drama reccomendations (preferably not healing i like comedy and good story line plots) i'd love to try.
in other news im really looking forward to hospital playlist season 2 lol :))

Hello all,
Spring has sprung! At last! The joys of weeding is now here. My present goal is to read one hour a day -- fantasy fiction or nonfiction or spiritual book-- and to weed one hour of day. My present prescription for calming the mind and getting sun.
Dramas:
I keep starting and starting dramas right and left, especially the ones i like. Obviously something is wrong with me.
First, i find i am way more impatient with noble idiocy... so although i was really liking Youth of May, i don't want to deal with a plot based totally on someone nobly lying and then another person nobly lying and then a scheming rich girl and her would-be father-in-law getting their way. I still remember the opening shot of this drama so....
Second, I find i stay up at night being annoyed with selfish second lead women who look at some other person's property, husband, money, land, etc as their own. I understand that Korean ahjummas see this as all part of the story they have to pass through in order to get to a happy ending. But i hate stress and i do not like tossing and turning over some situation just because it's a trope and expected to get the story done. So, out went Mine.
Third, and this is entirely my issue here. I understand that the world is full of religious nuts, schemers, etc but i do remember the days when religious people of all denominations were treated much better in kdramas. Of late, there has been a mega-proliferation of scheming Christian cults, nutcase shamans, etc. And the hero/heroines are all equated with sane heroic humanism and atheism. I have no problem with their humanism or atheism. but i do disdain their sneering disdain for spiritual beliefs. When characters drip pity for spiritual folks, i feel they're insulting their viewers. Give me writers who understand that religious ahjummas hate being mocked by some character in a drama. So there went Dark Hole and Doom at your service. DAYS was hard to give up because i so love LSH. But since he's doomed to second lead status i guess i can give up on it.
Fourth, Good bad guy involved with bad guys. I love Jehoon but damn! Why is in two dramas where bad folks dog his step? Yes, i understand that every character in a story has his or her own life and difficulties but sometimes dramas choose the trite tropey road which leads to trite tropey examination of stories. I would've preferred the actions and redemption arcs of Move to Heaven and Taxi Driver go deeper and remain with the main story rather than kdrama bad guys being in the mix.

As for cdramas, why must some war or rebel always intrude into a story? I was loving several stories...and then suddenly....war.

So, on the whole, i'm liking Bossam and I'm loving LOVING!!!!! LOVING!!!!!!!! Be my dream family. The best daily i have seen in ages. So wonderful, well-thought-out, and heartfelt without the tropey angst.
Have a great weekend,

Hi all!
Does anyone know what the name of the Korean version of the Chinese drama accidentally in love is?

So many Kdramas are not on Netflix here, so I miss out on quite a lot. True we had Vincenzo and Navillera both brilliant, and Law School which dragged so I ditched it, but.......Haunted House, Mouse to name a few are unavailable in Australia, which is a pain in the proverbial.
