After reading the write-up on short dramas, I realize that I haven’t watched any of those (except individualistic one). I am not even sure where to find them.
I am looking for some interesting dramas on NetFlix (India, if it helps). I have recently finished Weighlifting Fairy and loved it. I tried Romance is a Bonus Book, Misty but got bored. Suggestion pls
My Little Bride – my first Korean movie and I’ve seen it a billion times since. It’s really cute.
Spellbound – horror rom-com but it’s not all that scary. There’s a few jumps but it’s mostly sweet and funny.
Finding Mr. Destiny – Gong Yoo. Plays a little with the idea of destiny. Interesting characters.
That was my take. The mom endured the same thing so now she gets to pass the baton to her daughter-in-law. What I didn’t like were all the comments regarding females and homemaking. Like a man is unable to do chores or cook. They are just as capable!!!!
Didn’t the aunt say something like “she’ll look down on you” or something to that effect for doing the dishes. I don’t know what she is talking about. If my hypothetical man offered I would think he was a savior! I hate dishes the most! Hahahaha
I think she did. And yes, why would anyone look down on someone for doing dishes?!
Every time his mom said something like “That should be left for people like us who know what we’re doing!” I don’t blame her exactly because she’s a product of the society she was raised in, but times are a-changing, lady! At least Se-hee hasn’t internalized that kind of thinking. He actually tries to help and she doesn’t let him, which I think I would actually find insulting if I were him. Like what, you think I’m not capable of cleaning dishes because of my gender? So dumb!
I think dramas just like to use nosebleeds as metaphors for stress/emotions. And they can also be excuses for skinship. I know it isn’t a super common issue for some people to get nosebleeds, but from experience, if you are prone to get a nosebleed in the first place, you are likely to get more. When I was a kid, I got 2-3 nosebleeds every day for 3 years because of bad allergies. Luckily I eventually matured out of the allergies, but I still get nosebleeds every now and then just because I am susceptible to them.
I never got nosebleeds, even when pulling all nighters in Uni. On that same note, though, if I were pregnant every time I was queasy or physically sick (ah, that quaint drama trope), I’d have like 500 kids instead of the 4 who currently annoy me.
I find Jae Chan’s way of speaking so gentle (even when he is fighting) that I am ashamed of opening my mouth and speaking anything today. #swooningoverstupidthings
So excited to show Do Bong Soon on Netflix. Even though I have watched it already, I am rewatching it just to let Netflix know that the viewership exists.

Exactly. And she is so sweetly manipulative. I mean she is not asking her to work directly even once. But just dropping the visible hints.

When Se-hee said he would clean up the dishes and his mom told him to leave I rolled my eyes so hard.
But it’s okay because he’ll get a chance to do his labor next episode lol.

I never got nosebleeds, even when pulling all nighters in Uni. On that same note, though, if I were pregnant every time I was queasy or physically sick (ah, that quaint drama trope), I’d have like 500 kids instead of the 4 who currently annoy me.
