Beanie level: Errand boy

    Purity test (virgin). Every palace maids belong to the king. If he fancy one he can bed her.
    There are a couple of famous palace maids (eg Dong Yi) who bore the king’s heir in history.

Kairos Ep2 was just as impressive!! And so fast paced! They have already figured out time cross & love how Seojin goes about proving it so logically.
Also look at this beanten up happy baby!

    I will watch episodes one and two tonight.
    Earlier this year I watched Shin Sung-rok in the sageuk THE KING”S FACE (2014) where he played ‘baddie’ to SIG’s good guy.
    I am looking forward to SSR being (I hope) a righteous good guy in KAIROS.

      Ooh I haven’t seen kings face.. but SSR was brilliant villain in Liars game!!

      Yes did catch Kairos – they have done a brilliant job!!

Kairos Ep1 was so tightly written! Zero time wasted on setting up story! I’m impressed so far and crossing fingers they can retain this level for 16 eps! Also Nam Gyuri in that red dress….😍

Also I’m super excited about KAIROS !!
Not just for Seungyoon, but just the cast is so solid! All my favourites – SSR (perfume <3), Lee Se Young (BEST HIT!!!) & ofc Bohyun (he is a Greek God come back isnt he?!) & the story really seems interesting – time-cross dramas when done well are soo fun!!
I especially love how SSR figured that they were in different timelines & not some random phishing call or cross connection… via news in background! Smart smart!
Pleaaase let me good kdrama gods! Which one are u guys looking fwd to?!

I started the recent drama crop with such gusto watching a whopping 8 shows…. but the way I have dropped them or not feeling them at all… 

Zombie Detective  – funny but err… not interesting enough
Do You Like Brahms – it soooo cry-y that I couldnt go back post ep 11..
Record of Youth – Cannot explain it, but I have zero motivation to go back to watch new eps…

Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol – this is hugely popular but GoAra annoys me still
Private Lives – isnt the plot attempting to be too convoluted?
Tale of the Nine Tailed – even LDW aint saving this for me
Search – I was excited about this but…. didnt realise it was gonna be zombies?? like blehh

So I\’m left with only **Eighteen Again** which I\’m loving !! Have I grown outta watching stuff till the end ?!

    No, they are just not as good as you want at this moment kk

    pretty much
    1. Dropped Brahms at ep 8 i think
    2. Dropped Record at ep 10; i don’t know how i managed to reach ep 10 also. Not watching anything again with this FL. All her dramas have been bad despite great co-actors
    3. ZD – someone not even able to bring myself to start
    4. DDSSLLS – YES!.. i feel bad for Jun.. this show could be such a happy pill like shopping louis (even if everything falls apart you just root for the characters) .. however ep 5 i realized Go Ara + SCRIPT both are big problems
    5. Search – meh! ep 1.. dropped
    6. PL – not started. Don’t plan to
    7. More than friends – this , i am enjoying despite its flaws.. 😛
    8. 9 tailed – goes up and down for me
    9. 18 again – haven’t watched..

    Even Cland, T land, and th land are dry now a days.

    Variety to rescue

      OMG yasss… they just have been so unappealing & I was so enthusiastic about them too!

      Agree with u on DDSSLLS – like Jun is amazzzzing & it totally has the Shopping King Louis potential…but Go Ara……………

      Reviews for more than friends on DB sorta made me wary..
      and omg I would HIGHLY recommend 18 again – it was the show which I had zero expectations & didnt even wanna check out cuz the premise has been so overused in kdramas.
      but all the raving made me check it out & its soo good!! I binged 8 eps in a day.. LOL !
      Dohyun is a pleasant surprise – such a good actor!

    There’s something about the execution of Search that seems off. Also, the episodes are not that long compared to some other dramas, but I find myself constantly checking how much time is left. I don’t know if I’ll continue. Tale of the Nine Tailed–I’m not sure for how much longer I’ll watch. And as for DolSol–I am not liking the latest revelation. I really don’t feel much for the shows I am currently watching.

      Yess about all above!
      Search on paper should have been my catnip drama.. but well..!

        I ended up watching episode six of Tale of the Nine Tailed and actually liked it. But I still have my reservations. While I didn’t like the reveal of DolSol, I still want to continue. It is a sweet story. This still doesn’t take away from the fact that I haven’t really felt much for the shows I’ve been watching. I’m not sure if the problem is just with me, lol. I wonder how Start Up will be; I did like the premiere.

Hello lovely beanies ! I didn’t think I would be back on DB anytime before Kairos (yay to that @katakwasabi) .. but clearly Forest of Secrets (& Shi Mok & Yeo Jin’s comraderie) still has that power to draw me over! Haha

(is there anyone I know still active here?! even @sicarius seems to have disappeared..)
Anyhow.. HELP me Oh FoS beanies… ! I’m sure it must have been discussed but I can’t find it – someone link me pls! Talking about the real-life fight / tug of war over the same issues between the prosecution & police… someone tell me what the real-life outcomes are/were — what’s going on, pls!
Can’t wait for Shi mok & Yeo jin to finally team up !

Aaaahhh !! Encounter is soo beautifully wistful… like even while I want them to spend time together.. there is so much dread about the upcoming angst..

This is why I hate watching melodramas.. Sigh. There is no escaping the drama in this show is there? I don’t want to drop it.. both of them are doing such a lovely job.. Here’s hoping they can carry off the angst without it getting overdramatic.

Considering I spent the last 5 mins squealing over AM’88 Bogummie… and barely being able to process Crown Prince from my squiggly feels… I’m not sure it’l be good for my heart to start on Boyfriend…
Ottoeke?!?

    Start it! Then squee on the fan wall with the lot of us. But Seja, omg, did you really just do that? I’ve been staring at this for 5 minutes.

Beanies HELP ! I can only watch one drama… so is it

Bogummie or Hyun Bin ?! (put it this way its obviously Bogum…)

So Boyfriend or Alhambra? Or another?

    Ah.. watch Boyfriend, see Drunk Bogummy, watch Alhambra, see Hyun Bin battle Lawrence of Arabia.

      Hahaha! You aren’t leaving much of a choice then.. guess it is Bogummie as expected then!

        I confess I am heavily biased towards the former. 😂 But I am really enjoying Boyfriend! The languid feel, the atmosphere, and PBG’s precious character.. SHK’s character has me intrigued, as well. It is slow, but I like it. *cough* I had to be supported by Rabbit Beans to get through the episodes, because.. my heart.

          Haahah! You isnt biased towards bogum ?!? He is utterly precious.. and his smile is divine.. i have writtten essays in the past ! Hahaha

          He single-handedly got me back to kdrama addiction via Moonlight drawn by Clouds … and looks like this drama slump is probably going to end thanks to him too!

          2
          1

            Oh, hahaha! PBG is my favorite. Has been for years. He’s just a stupidly awesome ray of sunshine, and talented and hardworking to boot. I try to restrain myself from getting too crazy, but I truly admire and respect him. 😂

            Same! He kicked me right out of slump-territory and back into the land of the livin!

    Don’t look at me, I gave up my kdrama hiatus for the both of them. Sorry, not sorry.

      I’m soo tempted to start on Alhambra too now that we know a little more of the story and there are augmented reality games… !!!! Frankly that’s got me more excited than even Hyun bin or Shin hye starring! Haha
      I was a complete sucker for LoveO2O despite its many shortcomings!

        I’m not really watching for either of them—it’s the game I’m watching. The last 3 minutes of the second episode! Daebak!

I finally caught with Terius Behind Me and OMG I lurrveee it!! It’s everything I hoped for… So Ji Sub as the elite spy absolutely defenseless in the face of adorable cheeky kids.. Son Ho Joon the obnoxiously cute villain (!) and most of all the AHJUMMA SPY NETWORK !! Hahahaha!

Gosh I do love shows with bright ahjumma spies.. ala Mystery Queen ! 🙂 Louved the addition of Kang Ki Young as the male ahjumma ver. :))

It had all the elements I love in a drama – fun, family, and spy hijinks!

Only wish the real spy side of the story had some meat. Think I’m gonna skip the last few episodes w/o the babies or KIS.

Till then let me admire you some more Son Ho Joon– I would do reaaally good at the Secretary’s job 😀

      Haiii! Omg i heard about what happened to East light and my heart really went out for them. Thought of you first.. hope they will get some justice.. also crossing my fingers that the other members will also speak up now that they ate not under contract anymore (which is also so sad but unavoidable & perhaps for good I guess)

      1

        Thanks for thinking of me. The entire week after the news broke was really rough. I’m so glad that they are free of that company now. I though the other members would speak out too after their contracts were terminated but at this point, I don’t think they will. I think they don’t want it to hurt their future prospects which I can definitely understand. I hope that they are all able to join a better company and redebut (if they want to). I miss them alot already.
        Did you hear about the petition? We got a petition to 200,000 signatures and now the president has to respond to the situation.
        The police are currently investigating. Seokcheol and Seunghyun testified to the police for 5 hours and the PD has been summoned to be investigated. I’m hopeful that justice will be done 💛

Also how do they keep improving on the cinematography every episode?! Such beautiful sets!

Every episode’s ending scenery is a treat to watch! We are going to be so spoilt by the end of this show!
