Beanie level: Eunuch in drag

QUEEN OF TEARS ep1 and 2: Oh I cannot remember being this enamored with a kdrama opening in recent years. I am absolutely enchanted!! Kim Ji-won, already great, keeps getting better and better in eacjh thing I see her in (Arthdal doesn’t count pls); and Kim Soo-hyun is just brilliant! Also really cute when he’s drunk, so he isn’t lying at all (🤣🤣🤣). I really hope the drama continues as wonderfully as it has begun! (I can do without the slapstick crazy rich aunt though.)

    QUEEN OF TEARS Writer Park Ji-eun (along with Kim Soo-hyuns’s performance) has accomplished something very, very rare in a kdrama. She wrote a drinking scene that was actually funny and not cringeworthy awful. I am kind of shocked.

      You know, I saw that seen in the trailer and I was put off by it, and then I saw it in context and cannot stop laughing. You’re so right – she’s done something amazing there.

        I avoided the QOT trailers so arrived almost with a blank slate of what this drama was about other than we had a married couple with the wife coming from wealth and not so for the husband.

MARRY MY HUSBAND ep 14. What a waste of my time it Has been to invest in this drama. Forget the viilains… I don’t understand how the chaebol hero manages to be so bland and uninteresting, and how the female lead has the essence of a loser. A Mary-Sue and a loser. Also, this idiotic idea of switching people’s fates….. OMG 14 hrs gone.

    True, yet I am compelled to see 15-16 despite the meltdown in the writers room! Hoping its not a trainwreck!

    And that Pang the orange cat survives.

    To be completely fair to Ji-hyuk, he is equally as bland in the webtoon… Not that I am defending him or even his female lead, I’m with you on the disappointment and frustration of the plot, so I have given up a while back (both the webtoon and the drama)!

MARRY MY HUSBAND ep 9. I’m sorry, but in her 2nd life, Kang Ji won is just a loser and Mary Sue. And Park whatever-his-name-is is just so bland. Eye roll. I’m over it

CAFE MINAMDANG, ep 5. What a stupid, cliche show. I dunno about the rest of the cast, but Seo In-gook and Oh Yeon-seo are much better than this. WHY agree to such a stupid show?!

Hi everyone.
Your resident killjoy, back in service for ALCHEMY OF SOULS ep 1. RThis is absolutely not fair, but really, my most prominent thought the whole time was: “Do these people do NOTHING but live their lives looking for revenge?”

    When there’s nothing to watch on tv, I guess. lol.

    Yeah, when a drama is about revenge I always focus on something else. So AoS, for me, is about the romance and comedy, I don’t care about the revenge or politics tbh.

      There are a few revenge dramas thst are wonderful, but I find that they tend to be exceptions, rather than the rule. My favorite is NIRVANA IN FIRE, which truly, was more about serving justice and righting a grievous wrong, than about revenge itself

        I feel like the revenge is just there to connect the other storylines tbh, so I never really pay attention to it.
        I like revenge I’m movies, tho. Sympathy for Lady Vengeance for example.

        I’m gonna add Nirvana yo my watchlist. Thanks! ^^

BULGASAL up to ep 10: these men spent 600 yrs walking the face of earth, and didn’t collect nary a speck of wisdom in that time span. And all the reincarnated people too, didn’t learn ANY sense in their new lifetimes. What a waste. Mtcheeeew

BULGASAL end of ep 4. But of course. Caveats have been introduced : a real big bad (eyeroll). And now , we set the stage for the love story.

Hmmm, come to think of it, are there any fantasy sageuks anyone can think of? I’d like to watch one.

Bulgasal…. This female shaman irks my soul so much. What a useless entity!!!! All this exposition would been nice when he was a kid, wouldn’t it? Instead of telling everyone he needs to die. Kmt

Still on BULGASAL ep 3. The problem is that I still don’t like ANY of these people. Not Hwal, not Sang-woo (or whatever her name is)… None of them. Except Officer Suh Young-gi, who looks like a cute curmudgeonly ahjusshi in the present, but who absolutely smolders as an ancient soldier/warrior (rawr). I still don’t care for the mythology. Not quite reached hate-watch status yet, but here we are.

#BULGASAL ep 2: 3 minutes in, and I’m annoyed. What sollof logic is this?

BULGASAL, end of ep 1: I can’t stress how poor the premise is, but story certainly appears epic in scope. Let’s hope it delivers! Also, it’s nice to see Officer Suh Young-gi again 😁. And adult Hwal (Lee Jin-wook) reminds me so much of a young Bae Soo-bin.

BULGASAL ep 1. 30 mins in, and….. Lemme just enjoy this show instead of being a killjoy, because, I’m sorry, what back story is this?! These writers need to start putting in effort. Come on!

THE RED SLEEVE CUFF ep 7 :halfway through the episode and I’m bored. How many jealous eyes and possessiveness from afar can the Crown Prince do? Can we get a move on already?!

I liked HAPPINESS ep 1 and 2 a lot ( Han Hyo-joo makes me happy and I like Park Hyung-sik), but I dunno if I can watch this. Horror/zombies/vampires (or zombified vampires) aren’t my thing at all.

JIRISAN ep 1:Giant eyeroll. I mean, I know being dramatic and sensational is what catches and holds viewers’ ateention, but can we try to at least inject a little realism sometimes? Just a teensy bit.

THE KING’S AFFECTION ep1 and 2: I don’t find any of this heartwarming at all. It is just so painful and sad (and abusive too, if we wanna keep it a 100 – forcing this girl to live like this).
