Beanie level: Errand boy

Finally finally finished my movie review of Parasite. Has anyone else watched it? I really enjoyed it! Truly deserving of its Cannes award, this movie did Korea proud.

    I’m looking forward to seeing it (and will wait to read your review until then). I hope it’s Korea’s choice for the Oscar and gets into the final nominees.

      I didn’t spoil the whole thing. Just the start and added some thoughts. It’s a movie you need to see to enjoy. A review or recount won’t do the nuances justice!
      Anyway I hope you enjoy it!

      I hope you enjoy the movie, I mean! Not my review. LOL. Just thought I clarify tho that I didn’t spoil the whole thing. Anyway Feel free to read my post only after watching it and do share your thoughts! 😊 sadly not many people I know have watched it. Other than the 2 people I dragged along with me to watch. 😂

Live Up to Your Name Epi 9: 😰💔😫

It’s one of those weeks where I’m so tired, I can’t wait for it to be over.

But I managed to pen my thoughts on Live Up to Your Name Epi 7-8 which is the bright spot in my week!

My comment got swallowed for moderation and I re-read it, but the only thing I realised was that I made some mistakes in grammar.

Is the moderation monster now a grammar nazi too?? 😱

Live up to your Name isnt the only kdrama where the heroine saves someone with a tension pneumothorax.

W:2 Worlds did too! Yeon Joo saved Kang Chul from one in Episode 1!

      Good stuff. Kim Nam-gil’s portrayal of the good doctor and his expressions are also one of my favourite aspects of the show. He really sold the fish out of water bit.

        I loved the scene where he went up and down the escalator. 😂😂😂

        And by the end of those scenes you could see he was in sensory overload and his brain was almost in meltdown mode. 😂

        Loved it!

          Min was a combination of fish out of water and his own apprehension. When the guy collapsed outside of the nightclub and he approached the crowd crawling. That for me was daebak.

            OMG. Ok, this will sound bad, I know, but on the hospital bed I was thinking, this guy must smell bad. Why haven’t they given him a change of clothing yet? On a positive note, he can do his hair to look respectable. lol

            In real life, he would have totally stunk. Lol. I had a patient once who had a psychiatric problem and who refused to bathe- she hadn’t bathed for weeks. You could smell her from meters away. We spent really long just convincing her to have a bath ?

      They are up on my blog already (see link above) but I’m waiting for the DB recap too. Want to see what everyone else thought of it.

      I’m totally in love with Yeon Kyung! Girl is hot, and sassy and capable and still has a good heart underneath it all. Plus, jumping into thigh high boots effortlessly just after fainting?? #goals! 😝

        No problem. We got a good glimpse of her personality from the first episode. I’m already liking her character.

        Gonna watch the 2nd one tonight! ^^

    “Medicap” …… Heh! I love this!

    I’m currently not watching this drama (although I’m trying to fit it in the schedule!) but I’m liking the idea of reviewing the medical accuracy, or lack thereof.

    2
    1

      It’s not too bad! The traditional stuff is of course exaggerated and (in my opinion) highly fictional, but the modern day stuff is decently accurate.

      Anyway I tend to notice that the first few episodes of medical kdramas tend to be the least accurate since they are trying to build the story and catch viewers, not get bogged down with medical details.

Since I’m excitedly waiting for Live up to your name to be subbed, and for the recap of Manhole, I think my drama slump may be officially over!

Hooray!

Anyone else watch Strongest Deliveryman?

I just cant get into it. I like Kang Soo (GKP’s a Puppy trying to be a Rottweiler) but don’t like the bullying from Dan Ah. Why so mean? 😣

Thoughts?

    I’m not clicking with the characters yet, either, at least not how I warmed up immediately to the Fight My Way leads. I think they went a little overboard with Danah and the chaebol guy (I can’t remember his name), so right now they still seem like archetypes rather than people to me.

    1

      I didnt watch FMW so I can’t compare but I CANNOT STAND Chaebol guy- they made him way too stereotypical. And therefore annoying and unrelatable.

      0

      With the FMW kids I warned up to them immediately and wanted them to succeed in reaching their goals. With these guys I feel something for everyone. I’m not connecting with the characters yet but I’m interested enough to keep watching. Except for Dan Ha. When she comes on the screen I feel a mild distaste. I hope that in the upcoming eps I can start to like her.

    She is really unlikeable. I love badass female lead and I don’t mind flawed character either, but I don’t like when she use her skill at the wrong place. Kicking a guy at his private place is just a big no for me, especially when you are not being threatened with anything.

    7
    2

      YES> this is how I feel also. She is so…. prickly and manipulative. and for no good reason too! I love how she is great at martial arts and i liked the scene where she taught the groper a lesson, but urgh they went overboard when she started abusing her “power” by her kicking both Kang Soo and the other guy in the balls.

      I need a good rom com. Why is there no good rom com at the moment???

      5
      1

        I just don’t find it funny. She is somewhat a relatable character, but I think the writer is trying too hard to make her look so fierce or maybe too cool. I like male lead and second leads especially the second female lead. The second male lead is still annoying lol. I’m going to see at least until next week to see how it goes.

        I hope Age of Youth 2 will be great. I prefer low key romcom where the characters are not too loud. Have you tried School 2017? It is not amazing drama but it gives me a good feeling.

      For me its this plus the fact that she did it in both episodes and pretty much walked away from both encounters smirking–the clear winner.

    I liked it. Maybe because I haven’t seen a good rom com in a while. Dan ah learned a few things in life the hard way without anyone’s support (mostly family) that’s why she’s feisty. Although the first hit to KS was uncalled for, maybe she thought he was one of those swindlers (?).

    Anyways, I’m liking it despite having small heart attacks whenever their doing a scene on the streets. #TruckofDooms

      haha. there have been many many accidents in the drama already! Though the TOD seems to appear off screen. XD

      my brain understands why she is so feisty and head strong and fierce, but somehow my heart can’t relate to her, because its like she has taken it overboard. I especially didnt like how she beat up that Kung Fu noodles guy (can’t remember his name! And actually i felt that whole scene was quite pointless) and how she went into Kang Soo’s room and then blackmailed him. Those 2 things pushed it across the line for me at least. The epilogue and her scene with her bro helped a bit but somehow I can’t sympathize with her enough for me to excuse her behaviour. 🙁

      0
      1

        Yea, but the TOD is still there and it could happen anytime 😆

        That’s too bad. Hope you can find a good rom-com somewhere. I’m not watching anything aside from this till Age of Youth 2 comes so can’t recommend one as of the moment.

    I dislike her, it is mainly because of every scene with Kang Soo. She is at faults 70% of times and blames poor guy.
    It is also annoying me that she is good at fighting, I mean, she has absolutely nothing to do with martial arts, she is working whole day, so when did she find time to become so physically strong?
    I wish kdrama writer’s would realize that female lead could be strong/cool/awesome without hitting someone

    Watched it, but still not that invested yet. The Danah character was kinda overboard, too rough and tough. That I still can’t root for her. Jingyu’s the extra typical chaebol.
