Beanie level: Rooftop room dweller

given Wedding impossible preview, i don’t think we are getting the confession and the kiss beofre ep 9-10. Ep 7 they will spend navigating awkwardness, ending with JH going with CW and AJ realizing she doesn’t like it and has romantic feelings for him. Ep 8 she will try to suppress her feelings and ending with full realization and acceptance of feelings.

Ep 9-10 is best bet

    Previews are often misleading but yes here they do seem to be just stringing along … just so long its fun I don’t necessarily need a kiss!! 😂

Pyramid Game has a wonderful message.
When a bully victim becomes a bully – is that justified vendetta?

If perspective were shown from first victim’s view, most of us would get emotionally charged and support the comeuppance arc… but if the story starts from the perspective of bullying then we would be emotionally charged and angry with the perpetuator…

E.g.
Let’s take Marry my husband – revenge taken on folks who had not committed the mistakes yet. The whole process would have just reinforced their negative bias towards the FL. Did it make sense to take revenge or rather walk away from them while protecting self (use legal means if required)

I am absolutely digging this age of complicated villainesses everywhere

Does anyone know how is the FL in Impossible Heir being received by Korean audience?

1

1. Yoo Young Sook and Chae Soo bin – 2 actors who can actually act – Yes yes yes
2. Han hyo joo and Oguri Shun… OGURI FREAKING SHUN IN A ROMANTIC DRAMA – YEEEESSSS!!!!
3. What’s up with japan though .. Trend of korean-japanese multi cultural leads and dramas… loving it (japan-thai also starting.. Guess Asia planning to take over Asia)
4. Young Royals is here. Will wait until ep 6 releases. I hear we are still running around in circles (thank god our prince is that good looking that one can watch the I will break up with you scenario for the upteenth time)
5. Impossible Heir – Inho is the mastermind. Loving it. Real revenge story to begin.
6. I want suggestions. There is no drama besides Wedding impossible right now which is interesting (pyramid games okish now that I know the ending)
7. Genuinely craving a smart thriller… or something with mind games
8. Those who haven’t watched elite school game variety show.. Do that.. So much fun… lol at Korean schools vs Harvard… positives of eastern education vs western is so visible
Anyone watching Couplang – a fat but b’ful woman bodyshamed by a French (genuinely not an attractive guy). The girl is ex Ms. Korea contestant… like.. Hello!..ugly guy telling a pretty but fat girl that he will be doing a great self sacrifice by saying yes to her

That attack was on inha’s order. Two birds with one stone – taeho and the eldest son. Inha “tactics” coming out. Given, he got accepted as the son, is leading the strategy division which means future… he is now ready to get rid of taeho

My only question is – did he never trust taeho, or did things change once FL appeared in their lives and inha felt she could be a distraction…exactly when did he start distrusting taeho so much

It was a real low blow to send FL’s mom to her… arrest her flutterings for taeho and remind her that she needs inha to escape this life

I did not think anyone could replace FL of boys over flower in terms of bad acting but never say never. FL in impossible heir takes the crown by a great margin. How atrocious can one’s acting (or lack of) be… a perfectly good character butchered in hands of undeserving incompetent lady (I refuse to call her an actresS)

    She is definitely struggling to put in a remotely believable performance, and is very robotic and uncharismatic despite being a beautiful woman. But I have a little bit of pity for her because her role is also terribly unwritten. It’s true that everyone else’s is as well and they’re doing better than she is, but not by much, imo.

there is a new trend in kdramas – the shining stars are the ladies playing villain in the series… transcending with their amazing acting (Pyramid game, MMH)…FLs continue to be same old (except WI)

completed pyramid game – FUN!… psychopath is blackmailing her dad right? he has a secret affair with an illegitmate child. Also, psycho’s mom went all google when she saw the other dad in uniform..

    ^^ 💯 I was half-hoping that they would. 😂 But when they took down 3 and 4 I knew we would have to wait as per regular schedule … unless someone makes a faux pas again.

      We can hope, right? 🤞🏼😆 I’m glad I waited until today for eps. 3 and 4 – having an abundance of Real Life helped, but I didn’t want to face the 10-day wait between drops if I’d watched them earlier. It’s an almost Impossible dilemma!

1. Wedding impossible – leads are new and wonderful. Girl is really impressive. Ep 3 is so much more better. Direction and coherent editing coming through. Comedy is good. I wish great career to both main leads
2. My Sibling’s Romance – loved it. Variety show and so fun. Better than Transit Love/ Exchange (whichever season)
3. Started I may love you – romcom … literally nothing else on air.. If you are in mood for the trop – guy rejects girl and then grovels to get her back.. Its nice.. And miles is always good
4. Slapped – did not watch it this week and seems that was the right decision.. It was already unbearable post ep 6.. Zero plot and not really slice of life… all these shows (samdalri, slump, few more before samdalri are trying to bank on cha cha formula but failing)
5. CrimeSeasonReturns – I like it. For fans I guess. Key can’t act which is saying something because he was actually quite ok in that show long back where he played hacker or something
6. Beauty Newbie – Why is Win so attractive 😀 .. For once adaptation ML is better at the role than the original
7. Wonderful Life – excited. EW not bad… but I guess this time he is hands of better director. Heavy lifting will still be done by the two senior actors…. And that child accident was a pre-planned murder
8. Looking for recommendations for something funny – variety will also do
University WAR – if you liked Genius or Genius type shows… this is a must watch 😀 .. Much better than whatever rubbish was Devil’s Play

    Edit –
    4. Is Dr. Slump 😛
    6. Remake not adaptation
    7. I think the video shown to hubby to buy his silence was half truth…that showed that FL did not close the gate. If it were leaked, FL would die of guilt and hubby wanted to protect. Ofcourse the other lady who was making video took that video of FL closing the door- that was shown in ep 1

    Impossible Heir – something is still off about the show – Editing and script i guess… + FL sucks

    I get thsi is supposed to be some supercool revenge kind of a drama but seriously there is no build up to appreciate what intricate planning is being done by the leads.. SML is actually a good actor… and don’t know what is he doing in this show..

    ultimately, everyone is on the chess board and ML is playing this chess by himself

    Clearly, impossible heir is ML.. intro of all 4 episodes stops at ML with words flashing impossible heir

    You know what I found strange, I think there are a lot of male Beans that are watching this one. I don’t know why, but that is my observation. I don’t think it has garnered rave reviews, but there is clearly at least one group of Beans here who have stuck with it throughout the show. I guess is that it’s still running, so maybe you can try a couple of first eps? I LIKE UEE, but upon seeing the comments from Beans that were watching it, I think I made the right choice of choosing something else.

    Nah, I started but dripped it after a while. I don’t expect weekenders to be perfect but my basic rule is the existence of lovable characters – but not here. Not even a nice grandma.

want some slick thriller recommendation or any series worth a binge watch

    Inspector Koo (super underrated imo)
    Mask Girl (kinda unhinged)
    Celebrity
    Vincenzo is more slick than thriller, but still.

    (Netflix does the slick, bingeable show quite well..)

    NOT KDrama: Cdrama Ripe City.

If you have not watched University War, watch it. Its fun and for once no politics and betrayal in a brain game. Although once again, we witness women who bring zero game to the table (what is wrong with all these brainy shows; not one show where a woman proves that she is good because of meritocracy and her talent…instead become a burden to carry/ becoming team’s handicap)

i like sumin, atleast the actress.. she is doing a fav job of playing this innocent looking vile obsessed psychotic person.. whatever.. her interpretation of the character and portrayal is fantastic.. And main reason for TRPs.. Because she is so good that FL;’s revenge becomes relevant and interesting

FL character in Captivating king is just another level of annoying.
Repeatedly comes up with stupid plans and still thinks she is the smartest, sharpest person out there…

She lacks common sense. She is lucky that she is pretty and men prioritize prettiness over brains and personality

And then the acting doesn’t help as well..

Annoying, annoying character.

    I don’t think this writer is good at writing a compelling female character to rival his high-octane male lead character. Of course, JJS will chew up every scene like Yeo Jin Goo’s dual role in “Clowned Crown.” I don’t even remember what Lee Se Young’s character was supposed to do.

    I still don’t get the casting. He goes from Han Yeri, who could match his caliber, to one of the weakest actresses. It doesn’t matter how many times she is in a sageuk. She hasn’t changed much at all. Her good luck was having Kim Young-hyun, who knows how to write a character that fits her.

      agree agree.. her acting has not improved..
      i can take screenshot of her from every drama of hers – modern or saguek.. and her expressions will be the same

      she is lucky she is pretty and it is only based on that that she got so many chances when young… and nothing much has changed since then in terms of acting talent

People who are claiming poker face merits in defense of FL should watch Untamed (i am sure there are other dramas too).. poker face = good acting are gems like these Untamed. Actors should take their jobs seriously

    Doesn’t seem like poker face to me. Just that Jo Jung-suk is so captivating that anybody in front of him, even with the backing of the script seems to fall short.

      if you mean any actor would have fallen short in front of him then won’t agree…

      but i guess at the end of the day, as long as drama is watchable, all is well

        I agree with you. 😂 I think he’s an actor who brings his A-game and also inspires his co-actors to shine as we have seen in many many dramas.

    Yeah word on the internet street is that it’s bc of the recent passing – they also didn’t do reveals during the peak covid year or during an impeachment trial either apparently.

Enough of these introvert characters. Cha Eun Woo needs a crazy, passionate, intense romance where he has to KISSS.. Like really KISS.. And go all intensely passionate over his girl :p ..
