Beanies, I just finished my first 50 episode Family Drama! It was the wonderful Father Is Strange❤. I loved it! It took me around three months to finish it because of the holidays and just overall being busy, but I’m glad that I gave it a chance despite being scared of watching a drama this long.

    Father Is Strange is one those dramas everyone praises and talks fondly about, and now I can see why and I completely agree. One of the reservations I had starting this drama was, of course, the episode count. I could have watched three to four dramas with these many episodes! But it is an easy watch and entertaining enough that I could watch a couple episodes in one sitting when I had the chance. I usually avoid spoilers like the plague, but with this drama I had heard many spoilers beforehand that they actually encouraged me to watch it. I am sometimes so stunted when I want to express myself in writing so all I can really say is that I loved it and enjoyed it very, very much. I teared up so many times and that is good point in my book since it means I connected with it. The cast was great and it’s nice to see that a lot of these actors have had great dramas that followed. One huge factor that encouraged me to give this drama a chance was the podcast deep dive of the Dramas Over Flowers ladies (@festerfaster @laica featuring @lollypip). I heard it before I even thought of watching this drama and I just listened to it again so I could nod my head and laugh alongside them. Anyways, Beanies, if you are ever bored, you might want to give it a chance.

      Aww @pbnjelly513! It’s the best feeling to finish a satisfying 50 ep drama, so a thumping high five for that, and it’s an even better feeling to find out that your podcast convinced someone to give this show a try. A massive hug for that!
      You hear that, @saya? Now, watch FiS already!

        I’m like technologically challenged so I couldn’t link the video, but I still wanted to let you ladies know that I really enjoy your podcasts 😊.

      Yay, I’m so glad we played a part in convincing you to watch this gem of a drama! Sending you all the finger hearts! You’re so right about the episode count, but the flip side of that is when you get a really good long drama, it’s that much more satisfying and you end up loving the cast so much more because you spent all that time with them. I think FiS is one of my top most satisfying kdrama endings, too. Thanks so much for listening to us not just once, but twice! <3

        I agree! The ending was soooo satisfying! They wrapped it up so well that I’m surprised they didn’t leave no gaping holes. If a 50 ep drama did that ypu 16 ep dramas can too, ya hear😁

    Congrats on completing your first 50 ep drama! 😊

    There are several dramas that, even with a 50 ep count, are quite good. I haven’t watched this particular show although I’ve always read positive comments about it. Glad you enjoyed it!

      The positive comments are what drew me to it, but it was daunting at first just looking at the episode count. But it’s free on YouTube so I could watch parts of it here and there on my phone😊

    Yaaaayyyy, congrats! *high-five*
    I also just finished my first 50 episodes kdrama. Currently I’m having drama withdrawal. It’s hard after you feel attached with the characters. I have planned to watch Father is Strange since last year, but I was angry with Jiho played by Jung So-min after the last few episodes of Because This is My First Life, I didn’t want to see her in anything. It’s definitely not her fault, but I can be very irrational sometimes 😅
    FiS is still on my list and I will definitely watch it.

      Thank you*receives your high five*
      I get it. Sometimes when you are so into something you can’t get out of that headspace for a while. FiS is the third project of hers I’ve seen and I am just looking forward to her next one because she has played completely different characters in each that her acting really stands out for me.
      Hopefully you get to watch a good drama soon! I’m usually not one for slumps since I am always watching one thing or another, but it does get frustrating when things are slow!
