I need to get some things out of my system, can’t wait until this week’s What We’re Watching

WWWUp to ep 4. Am I the only one having problems with Bae Ta Mi or Lim Soo Jung? I am weirded out by how she seems to be moving in a kind of slow mo. The way she blinks her eyes drive me nuts. She is so unreal. On the other hand, I love Scarlet/Cha Hyun.

Angel’s Last Mission: Love ep 21-22. Sunbae HU is an IDIOT. Either he doesn’t understand what his purpose is or he’s actually hired by the mafia. I don’t get why Choi is shocked by her daughter. Wasn’t she the one who kept saying they have to make sure that Ni Na succeeds at all cost? Or does she expect an angel to wave his hand and make it happen? No luck there, madame! According to Hu, he’s paid to be a bystander.

My Absolute Boyfriend Just when I think the writing isn’t half bad, it does something that makes me wonder if it’s just luck. It could be a lot worse so I’ll just take it for what it is. There’s a lot on Wang Joon this week and while I like what I see at times, he goes and do something which makes me think he didn’t get it altogether.
Da Da and Young Gu are just boring. I thought the show should have focused more on these two characters. It’s actually doing more work on Wang Joon than them. It would be nice to see how Young Gu ‘evolved’ and I want to see more of Da Da’s thoughts on being in a romantic relationship with Young Gu. Instead, we just get these ‘Girlfriend loves me, I love girlfriend’ from Young Gu and Da Da singing the same tune.

Before We Got Married I planned to drop the show after that horrible 1st episode. Not sure why I continued although I still can’t stand the guy. Then I watched the 10 minutes long trailer. This show could be really good. There’s a thing about Taiwanese dramas(not always) that feels more real and raw than Korean ones when it comes to depicting relationships.

    Omg I was the same with Before We Get Married. Really liked the first half of the first episode, second half pissed me off. One second I can’t stand the ML, but the other he seems very likeable. I’m chalking that up to Jasper Liu. Or maybe he’s an inconsistent character, because there’s an underlying softness that starkly contrasts his aggressiveness.

    I did end up continuing it though LOL. I’m up till the second episode. I think the one other thing that’s irking me is that I cannot understand where the FL stands in all this. She’s firm one second and not the next. I also don’t know how she’s attracted to him despite how irrationally aggressive he’s been. I want her to want him, but in a believable way.

      Before we got Married second half of first episode goes into other alternate reality, it was sooo sleazy and disgusting. I am all caught up now. I just pretend the last half of first episode didn’t happen. The ML is not really consistent but it’s a good watch about people in bad relationships.

        Yes, I am watching for the dysfunctional relationships like that between Ke Huan and Zi Yuan. 321(Hao Yi) is also an interesting character.

        I wish I can blot out that disgusting ep1 and also how they write Ke Huan’s character. Otherwise, I find it a rather compelling watch on relationships and betrayals.

      It’s unfortunate that I am introduced to Jasper Liu through this character. The sexual aggression in first episode and the way Ke Huan stalked Wei Wei afterwards completely turned me off. There’s no chance I can root for him.

      I don’t question why she’s attracted to him. I do wonder if the drama thinks it’s alright for a man to excused from sexually aggressive behavior just because he’s good looking and rich?

      The person I hate most in the drama is her roommate. She brought Wei Wei to the party where she could be raped. I eye roll every time she comes on and I want to whack Ke Huan’s young colleague on his head for pursuing her. Anyway, she is a boring nymphomaniac, yikes!

    I had a supervisor very much like Bae Ta Mi. She was wicked smart, independent, assertive, a force to be reckoned with in our agency, and she moved like Bae Ta Mi. So she seems very familiar to me.

    @outofthisworld Where did you find the ten minute trailer for Before We Got Married? It is supposed to be packed with info, so of course I’m dying to watch.
