Beanie level: Errand boy

Marry my husband ep 11-12- I didn’t even start 12 yet but I expected it would be bad from the way 11 ended and seems like it’ll continue till next week. At least end it by 13. I can’t stand the ex and I haven’t even started watching yet. As if there’s a shortage of villains in our leads life!! There was more than enough material to cover 5 eps without introducing the ex. And just when I started to enjoy a k drama after a long time….

    I think there are a few beanies chatting about the recent turn of events. I hope you can find solace in sharing together. It’s so frustrating when a drama suddenly starts showing signs that disappointment might be an unwanted companion for a while.

      When it doesn’t have to be a disappointment. It was turning out to be so much fun. This oversaturation of villains was really not required.

        Yes the fight for ratings often leads to the opposite effect as people everywhere just drop and go rather than holding out in the hope that the joy will return. Often by the time things return to what was going well no one cares.

          I don’t want to be one of those people. But this has kind of ruined my enjoyment. Maybe it would have been better if I binged it after it finished. That way I could just watch it through knowing that the problem will be solved as soon as I pressed play on the next episode. That’s how I finished my demon and didn’t really feel that disappointed compared to the ppl who watched it live.

            Sounds like a good plan, so will you pause and come back when it finishes or carry on watching and wait for the return to normal proceedings?

            I haven’t watched 12 completely. Just bits and pieces. If the next episode turns out to solve all this then I’ll watch both the eps together to get it over with. If not then I’m not sure. I usually don’t drop dramas after watching more than half of it. But also I don’t mind dropping it if it takes all the fun out of watching. What about you?

            I have only just started to drop dramas, usually in the early stages. If it goes bad part way through I might start fast forwarding through the storylines that are annoying me and watch the rest to the disappointing end.

      It’s up to you. But I stopped at 11 and sadly, I don’t think I’ll watch till it gets resolved. But ep 13 also doesn’t seem promising to me. I’m seriously considering dropping it altogether.

Is yumi’s cells only going to have 2 seasons? I wonder how they’ll cover the whole story in I guess 8 more eps? Babi’s story alone is at least 2/3rd of the webtoon if I remember correctly. And will they remain true to the source material or deviate? Because I can’t see how they’ll cover up so much in so less time

3

    I am hoping they don’t deviate but suspect they will make some changes as you said they are cutting it fine with the timing for her career and relationship to be tied up neatly and this is one drama I don’t want to have lose ends or an ending that takes it way off the original ending.

      youtube video with woong from s1.. pretty much confirms they won’t cut the main narrative.. of breakup 1, cheating twice

        @alasecond I don’t know whether I should be happy or sad because I like both babi and jinyoung but at the same time also curious about how they’ll wrap up the loveline and who’s going to play the 3rd guy? I heard it was probably Yang Sejong? I like him as well 😅

        It’s my own fault for venturing into this thread (not once but 3 times!) but I have questions! Cheating twice! Who’s cheating? Cheating on who? Spoil me so I can prepare myself! I don’t like *anything* involving cheaters and would prefer not to be caught off guard if at all possible. Please?

        0
        1

      That’s what. Even I don’t want any loose ends. But I’m wondering how they’ll cover up everything with the limited number of eps. From her career taking off to her love life (I assume you’ve read the webtoon? )

        Yes I have read the webtoon so it’s hard to comment on the weekly feed without giving too much away. I read that they had the break between the seasons so people could get over Woong and connect to Babi so I was wondering how they would avoid that issue with Babi and i think the main way they are doing it is keeping it superficial in terms of who Babi is. I liked him in the webtoon and felt disappointed that Yumi was not the one for him as I felt they made a good couple in terms of interests and personality.
        I am interested in seeing who will play the third interest as I didn’t really see the pull for him in the webtoon he was too awkward initially compared to Babi’s open and direct approach so it took a while for me to warm to him.

        1
        1

          Agree I really liked babi in the webtoon and I really thought that he would be the one. I was upset at how it panned out and I’m dreading the girl who’s going to show up next week. I think it was jinyoung’s costar in he’s psychometric. I’m going to hate her even though it’s not her fault 😅. And true the 3rd guy hardly appeared in the last few chapters and I didn’t get how she ended up with him. But that’s life I guess. You never know what’s going to happen.
          I totally relate to the struggle to not give away too much in the comments section of the recaps so I’m not commenting anything 😂

    It kind of seems so. They’ve changed more stuff this season, but I think Yumi/Babi will have the same ending. I hope so anyway. My guess is the season ends with Yumi getting published and meeting Soon-rok. Fade to black. If they were to get another season, they can go from there. If not, Yumi’s happy ending is succeeding as a writer and webtoon readers know she ends up with Soon-rok.

      I guess we’ll have to contend with that then. But I can’t identify what all they’ve changed? Can you give some examples?

      I agree people need to see that she is successful as a writer and confident in her own abilities so her love interest is less of a central feature in her life. As you say they may hint at the relationship without showing it. In other dramas they seem to be leaving things in the early stages, the old approach was to use the last ten minutes to show the couple 2-5 years in the future married with a child/living together.

      I am sure Babi changed his job too and that’s how he met the love rival but in the show it seems they will introduce her within his current work context.

      Rubi has a relationship and is more involved with Yumi in the webtoon and Yumi’s writing success is showcased. I think they may have less on struggle and more on the success to free time for success and Yumi’s future relationship.

Missing dad
1.When I stole food from his plate or he used to give it to me before I could steal it😅
2. When I used to annoy him with endless questions while watching TV
3. When I used to put my head on his lap to prevent him from going anywhere
4.His large hands which covered my hands with warmth and security whenever we used to go out holding hands.
Love, february.

1.Missing mom’s simple home cooked meal.
2.Missing when she was my own personal fashion designer.
3.Missing when she drew my practical record for botany and zoology because I suck at drawing.
4.Missing dozing off while she massaged my hair.
Love, february.

    Ah I can relate to the 3rd point. Even though i wasn’t bad at drawing, I just hated it back then, and she always did it! And Now when I show and brag abt my drawings in anatomy, my mom gives me side looks!😂

Whenever I’ve to attend blood donation camps, I get irritated. Because it’s always on a Sunday. I know people are only free on that day but so am I! I deserve one sunday! Yes, the only job that i have there is to check the donors blood pressure. But it’s ALWAYS ON A SUNDAY. Few people refuse to listen to me when I say they’re having high BP and so they can’t donate because the camps are usually in remote areas and most of the times we don’t have the required supplies to manage them if something happens. They insist on donating. And few people lie about their ages and say they’re 18-20ish when they clearly look way younger. Most of these camps are conducted by organisations and I’m pretty sure they give them some incentives. Otherwise why would they be so eager to donate??? I’m not saying that everyone does that. There are genuine people who do it as a selfless act and maybe I’m just being judgemental and an awful person for thinking that without knowing the whole picture just because I’m irritated about losing my sundays.

Now I know blood donation is a very important thing and it’s good that many people do it. But I understood the magnitude of it only when the need for blood happened in my family and we needed donors for my mom’s heart surgery. I stay in a different city from my parents for studies and I couldn’t get leave for being there for her surgery. I was feeling extremely helpless and didn’t know what I could do to help. I’m someone who struggles at making friends because I’m bad at making conversations and even worse when it comes to maintaining the few friendships that I do have. With a lot of apprehension I contacted my old classmates from school and college and I was extremely surprised and touched when they all rallied to give me whatever help they could in the form of donor helplines and even donors themselves!!!! Donors who were friend of a friend or a family member of my classmates. Within a day, we got the required number of donors! Now I feel ashamed for thinking that people would turn their backs on me just because I wasn’t a good friend. Anyone will come to help when the need arises. I’m so glad that such acts of kindness and goodwill still exist.

I would like to thank everyone who is a blood donor. As I’m unable to donate myself, I appreciate these people more and it increased after my mom’s surgery. So even though I still get irritated, I can manage losing my sundays here and there because somewhere, someone is getting this blood.
Thank you for your patience reading my ramblings.
Love, february.

    I feel you on the struggling with making friends and maintaining them. My introvertedness (is that a word lol?) seems to have intensified in recent years, with people draining my energy a lot more than they use to, even though I like them. Your story is really touching and I admire you for returning that kindness – even at the expense of Sundays!

      Thank you for thinking my story was touching 🤭. I don’t really think I’m being kind. I’m just doing whatever I’m supposed to do Or rather forced to.
      Me too! Even though I wish I had many friends, I don’t really like putting effort into making them and I would rather spend my free time lazing around on my own than being with a huge crowd of people. I prefer silence and being alone. So it’s mostly my fault for my inability to make friends. Earlier I used to feel bad but now I’ve gotten used to it. I would rather not spend that much time and energy getting to know people even though it’s detrimental😅. Guess my introvertedness has intensified too(I don’t care if it’s a real word or not😅).

    I have been a volunteer in our local Red Cross and have met a good group of people. Now we have a chat group that has our blood type as our nickname and whenever someone needs a blood, we tag those and ask if they could donate. I do encourage anyone that is able and healthy to donate blood because it’s always needed.

    2
    1

      I understood on a practical(or impartial? detached? I don’t know) level, that its a good thing to donate but when the need hit too close to home, that’s when I really could grasp the importance of it.
      That is a really effective way- blood group as nickname. Keep up the good work.

Recently I tested Covid Positive and was quarantined for a week. Nothing in the current batch of dramas interested me. By chance I discovered a BL drama on Netflix called kieta hatsukoi Or my love mixUp. It was short, sweet and amazing. It opened up a whole new avenue of dramas for me. I’ve heard of BL dramas but never bothered to check out any. Right now, I’m searching for good LGBTQ dramas. Till the new batch of dramas drop by. Here’s to discovering a new genre of dramas. Guess one good thing came out of being quarantined. Don’t know if this counts or not but anyway

    I liked No Touching at All and Given manga, but I haven’t seen their adaptions so not sure if the adaptions did them justice. I listed other drama’s I liked:

    Korean BL
    Where Your Eyes Linger
    I want to recommend Love with Flaws but only for the BL side romance. I really liked Cha In Ha’s (RIP) last performance.
    To My Star

    Korean GL
    Am I the Only One with Butterflies? S1+S2

    Thai BL
    A Tale of Thousand Stars
    Lovely Writer
    Bad Buddy
    Not Me

      I’m fine. Thank you ☺.
      The thai ones I’m planning to check out. They have good ratings. I watched one ep of tale of thousand stars.
      I didn’t know that there were GL dramas as well! Maybe they’re not as popular. But I’ll check that one out.
      I dropped love with flaws. You mean one of the heroine’s brothers right? Anyway I don’t think I’ll go back to it. As for the other 2, I’ll check them out as well.
      Thanks for the recs 💕

        I wasn’t a huge Love with Flaws fan too, aside from the her brothers’ romances. Maybe there is just a YouTube cut…. but that’d still be a bit awkward so I totally get passing on it.

        GL doesn’t seem to be as popular and a most of the titles I’ve seen seem to keep angling towards a more “realistic” and downer angle, especially with the endings which I’m not to fond of.
        But I totally forgot about More than or Equal to 75 Celsius which I think was produced by the same team as Am I the Only One with Butterflies. That was also pretty cute.

        1
        1

          What do you mean by realistic and downer? Not happy endings I presume.
          Anyway I’ll check out the 2GL dramas you mentioned. Thanks for the recs!!!

          0
          1

            Downer would be a non-happy, tragic, and/or a depressing ending (for the viewer or the show itself).

            “Realistic” can be an assortment of things, one being the idea that being in a non-heterosexual relationship is unsustainable or even some internal homophobia makes them think its a phase. Another is how there is a large social pressure that keeps them from the relationship while contrasting to traditional family stereotypes. Can also include parents who refuse to accept their sexuality and/or being non-heterosexual causes them to loose friends or their job.

            This isn’t to say that BL’s don’t tackle issues around homophobia, coming out to their parents, living as gay, etc.
            Also, I may have just not had good success in picking out GL.

I really like both the ung’s friendship. My favorite part of this episode was how ung cancelled his date in favor of looking after his friend and his offer of always being welcome to his place. While I feel bad for ji ung , I do hope that the boys will get past this and continue to be friends. Both of them care for each other so I’m hopeful they will be.

I’m liking our beloved summer but at the same time I’m not??? I mean that nothing much has happened and we’re already halfway through. Like woong said they keep fighting, running away and avoiding each other which they have been doing since the beginning. I thought by now atleast they would have had atleast one proper conversation. And then we got the kiss scene at the end because it’s the 8th episode. But I felt weird watching it because they haven’t really resolved anything. Am I the only one feeling this way??

    I feel the same way too. I mean 16 episodes is a looong time for two people who used to date to realise they still like each other now. And it’s not exactly the world’s greatest revelation either.

      Yeah this show would have been better with around 12 eps. Hopefully now that they have kissed some confrontation will happen.

    Nope! I agree with you. It’s why I liked Woong scenes with NJ, at least, they don’t make suffer each other.

    I love Yeon-Su and Woong but every scene between them is so painful. There is so much resentment and pain… Woong is pretty honest but even if Yeon-Su seems to have things to say, she doesn’t.

    6
    1

      Exactly!! She’s keeping things to herself and woong keeps misunderstanding her and saying harsh things and she ends up sulking on her own. Atleast woong is vocal about his feelings. Hopefully she’ll start communicating with him again.

      4
      0

    Nope, its like the the show keeps regressing any character development between the two of them. Its second time Woong’s been hurt by something Yeon-su did/kept to herself and he’s then said something hurtful, right?
    When I see them relaxed and laughing with other people I honestly don’t want to see them together again.

      Yes I agree. I like both of them a lot and really liked the snippets of their past relationship. But both of them seem more comfortable with the second leads.

    On paper, the show has everything I’d normally eat up in a story but the execution feels stale in a way I can’t really describe. Like the plot is technically progressing I guess, but it feels very stagnant.

      Yep yep. It’s more like woong is taking a step forward and yeonsu is taking a step back. So there’s no progress overall.

Day 13-drama beanies liked but I didn’t/ drama I liked but beanies didn’t.
Don’t come after me but this is supposed to be an unpopular opinion so…
I didn’t like beyond evil as much as the others. Sure it was a decent thriller/murder mystery but I wasn’t blown away by it. I decided to start watching this after seeing the rave reviews but maybe that’s why it disappointed me- my expectations were too high. And probably because I binged it, there was no time for the suspense to build up. Shin ha kyun being cryptic in the first few eps also didn’t help. I knew he wasn’t the culprit because that’s how shows usually are- the main leads are rarely bad even though the drama will try to convince us of the opposite. Now if he actually was, that would have been interesting but that wasn’t the case here.
Also I really liked hometown cha3 more than the others I guess. I didn’t mind the lack of story that much. Maybe I just was in the mood for something light hearted and where I could just enjoy the sweetness without having to think too much.

    Beyond Evil: You’re not alone (*whispers)
    Been stuck 2 episodes from the end for weeks now. I totally acknowledge that drama is well written and acted, but I just don’t feel as invested as I felt when I watched The Good Detective or Stranger – maybe it’s just that I can only watch so many police dramas with grey characters

      The thing is dramas rarely have grey characters as leads, so I was sure he wasn’t bad. Also you should finish it, if just to get one more bean 😅

    *raises hand shyly* I agree with you. I watched Beyond Evil because of all the raves I read on here. I liked it well enough, but I didn’t think it brought anything particularly new or exciting to the table. The acting was good in a chewing the scenery kind of way.

TBF, though, I didn’t like most of the dramas others have liked – Good Detective, HCha3, Move to Heaven, Navillera. My list of dramas beanies liked but I didn’t is so long, I just decided not to make one !

      You should!!! There are lot of differing opinions on different dramas and it’ll be interesting to read why something I like you don’t. I can already see you don’t like 3 of the dramas I liked so it’ll be fun 😜

    I agree with you on both. I liked the moody small town vibe of Beyond Evil more than anything but that was gone by the last 1/4 when as usual, the story went down the predicable corruption route with the boring Big Bad I called from Episode 1.

    Romances tend to get the lack of story criticism but to me, romance is the story and HomeCha had the townspeople stories too, at least. I thought it was one of the better rom-coms we’ve gotten lately.

Day 9- the oldie you loved
When memorials came out last year, I was initially reluctant to pick it up as I wasn’t that familiar with the leads and I usually stay away from political dramas. I wasn’t sure how they would pull off a romcom with politics. But seeing beanies reviews I finally gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. The politics though played a major part wasn’t difficult to keep up with and balanced out the romcom. Speaking of I loved Nana and Park Sung Hoon. They really were one of the best couples of the last year. And I loved Sera’s best friends including the little boy and also Gong Myung’s colleagues and how he slowly opened up to both them and Sera. Overall I’m really glad that I watched this and thank you to the beanies who posted about this and made me interested.

Day 5- Drama that will live in your memory-
I have very bad memory so I’m don’t know about forever and I have watched very few shows this year so my options are limited. Here goes-
1. Racket boys- the story is nothing new. Group of underdog players must band together for winning against the elite players. But what made it memorable was the cast. The haenam girls and boys were adorable. And even the so called rival players. There was no bad person at least among the players. Even the villagers were such a fun group to watch. The villains were few and far in between. And did I mention the cast was adorable??
2. Move to heaven- I was introduced to a very different profession and it was handled with so much grace. For a show that had death as such a huge player, it was dealt with so much tenderness. And of course the uncle nephew combo was fantastic.
3. Navillera- Again having not watched a show about ballet, this was new to me. And the main cast being a harabeoji and a male dancer than the usual female dancers that this genre usually focuses on, it was a refreshing watch. The journey of Park In Hwan as the harabeoji with forgotten dreams who wants to try again with his reluctant teacher who becomes his biggest support made this show a pleasure to watch.
Special mention- Vincenzo.
Don’t really remember the story, but it was fun watching.

I don’t know if he qualifies or not, but for me it would be Tang Joon Sang. He gave 2 blockbuster performances as Yoon Hae Kang in racket boys(my favorite drama of the year) and as Han Geu Ru in move to heaven. Looking forward to his future projects.

Just finished navillera and I’m so in love with it! Initially thought that they’ll drag the angst throughout the major part of the finale but so glad that it was resolved within few minutes and we could focus on the heartwarming part. I’m not a crier while watching dramas but the scenes of harabeoji hugging her daughter and chae rok teared me up. I loved how they didn’t dwell on the sad part and even made it humorous with how efficiently hae nam is managing to take care of her husband. It was nice to see a montage of all the characters and what they were upto in the 3 years that passed. And I’m really really glad that chae rok is still in touch with harabeoji’s family. All in all one of the best dramas of this year and I’m really glad to have watched it💕💕

    So what was the point the show was trying to make? Whether fate is changeable or not? I’m still confused about it. Especially when it comes to our killer. He already knew about his future victims from the list Bae jung tae gave to him about the resetters. Yet he still chose to murder the very same people?? He, more than anyone had the power to change his destiny and maybe never got caught. Up to that point, all his murders was passable as accidents. But he became even more reckless and actually started murdering which couldn’t be ruled as accidents. And he also knew that HJ had suspicions? Why not confuse him more by choosing other random ppl? Why make his suspicions more clearer?

      Also the professor was just a sadist. What was the point in saving those ppl only to let them die again? He wanted to prove that you can’t escape fate? Maybe once was enough. But he saw it 6 times!!! What was the use? Ofc you can’t change fate if you don’t know what to change. GH saved HJ because she knew what to do. Rather than observing passively, he should’ve given them better clues if he wanted to have fun. Where was the fun if things played out exactly like they were supposed to play.

        And it also means that he had been killing Shin’s daughter from before the 1st reset! That’s just…cruel.

        And they never explained how he got to know about the reset. He was desperate to die, so he found a way to stay alive??

          That doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the show. It was good and since I’m extremely bad at deducing, I kept getting shocked by all the revelations. Less episodes meant tighter plot and it was fast paced without dragging. But then again many things were not explained. Like the reset.

            HJ and GH were the best parts of the show. Loved their friendship/ camaraderie/whatever it was. Was really proud that the girl saved the guy(literally) . Dunno what that says about me 😅. Anyway I hope that at least in this present, they stay together.

            I was happy with it having 12 episodes. It made me happy knowing that in the previous times, GaHyun and HyungJoo still became friends (or more).

          If I understood it correctly, he wanted to die and somehow did the reset. He found the experience thrilling (MANIAC) and continued doing it many times.

        The part where he said that if people reach his age, most things are not fun anymore was the worst. He is crazy beyond words. I think in the previous times, the resetters still died though differently.

      I was curious about that too. Same, why those people in particular? Also, how did the Professor know that he killed those people (whom he invited for the reset)?I was thinking that Sunho was eventually caught and that they took note of it.

        Yeah they showed him getting arrested, that’s why maybe he killed HJ in a previous reset. Maybe HJ figured out like in this timeline. that the so called accidents were also murders. Must have been on the news.
        Also the resetters were connected apart from that. Like how ES was responsible for GH’s paralysis. or how JY ( the minister’s son) was looking for the boyfriend of the stalker girl. It was connected on so many levels, so I can’t help wondering if this other connections were accumulaated effect of previous resets or just a coincidence?

          Yeah seems like even in the previous lifetime, even though GH was prickly due to her paralysis, she still seemed like a giddy girl in love maybe when she texted HJ. Maybe he got through her walls. It gives me hope that maybe they’re meant to be irrespective of the reset??? Please let it be true

            Agree with all your points! Feels good knowing they were meant to be! But disappointed with both villain’s motivations and that she can’t have those memories. Seriously Sun-ho did have the chance to change fate!

            Yeah I think two of my questions you’ll answered above. But I was just wondering if this last reset should have taken him to the beginning of the 7th reset. But it’s a reset not a rewind. So it goes to their original timeline right?

            1
            0

            I honestly don’t know😂. Probably it went back to their original timeline where they didn’t know each other. But then GH’s accident would’ve still happened. Unless HJ saved her. I really don’t know.

      Watched: yes.
      Potential season 2 (or movie or whatever): yes

      But it was the good kind of opening for sequel — the Buffy / Veronica Mars kind, not the Netflix kind. They FINISHED the big issue of season, then just left themselves a little wiggle room

        This was a good high quality show in terms of taut script, good use of background score..

        It was so good that 20-25 min of the show in last couple of minutes were literally nothing but the ritual stuff, and i didn’t fast forward .. lol

        Yep. I agree with you. They can decide whether or not to go ahead with a sequel. And exactly why I’m avoiding watching kingdom or hospital playlist

    I haven’t seen any discussions. I wonder if the ending is suggesting a possible continuation of the story.

Happy New Year people! I was hardly active this year and managed to watch very few dramas. Here’s to hoping that I find a proper balance between RL and drama watching this year.

Possessed final thoughts

    I’ve never been so frustrated with a drama like this. I knew that it was a dark show but did they have to kill everybody on the show. Like every single character? Did they have to kill the entire police force? And the shaman? They didn’t even leave the sisters in the church. Isn’t it overkill (pun intended. Or is it? I’m bad at making puns.)

    Also did they suddenly have to make us sympathise with hwang dae du? After 15 episodes? They showed us glimpses of his story but it was never explored fully. So why bother at the end?

    And I was really disappointed by pil seong. I’ve never seen such a passive hero. All he did in the entire show was scream at HDD over the phone. I know his adversary was a spirit with supernatural powers. But he should’ve done some police work atleast. He never tried anything except call the dead detective in his body and that guy did all the work. Even seo jong didn’t utilise her capabilities fully.

    And what about pil seong’s ability? They introduced it but failed to capitalise on it.

    That’s doesn’t mean I didn’t like the show. The characters were wonderful,if only they hadn’t killed everyone.

    The leads love story was so heartbreaking and tragic. Never thought I would be this invested in a romance in a supernatural thriller. But they nailed it.

      +100000000% agree – It was good – but soooo dark and the ending left me like you. Really? You had to kill off the nuns??????
      I’m glad I watched it, but it isn’t on my list for a rewatch.
      The only thing that saved it at the end – was the very end after the credits.
      Yes – big sigh……………………..

        The ending was a small consolation. I’m really angry at how pil seong let everyone die around him. I know it’s difficult to kill your love. Even I don’t want that. But do something else. Use your detective intuition and skill! Hone your
        newfound abilities! All he did was whine and mope around and run away.

          It wasn’t Pil Seong’s fault. Even when people did what Hwang Dae Du wanted, he still found loop holes to keep killing people. “oh too bad you were a minute late” or “oh I’m not killing people, I’m judging them for God’. He was going to kill everyone regardless of what Pil Seong did. I knew he would never keep his word from the start and any cop should know that too. You can’t trust the devil. He just wanted to see if he could make Pil Seong evil, and he failed, which was the point of the drama. And unfortunately, they were powerless against this villain…he was way too overpowered. The shaman’s abilities, the detective they summoned, and everyone else were completely useless, which was the frustrating thing for me. There was no hope.

      I just watched the last 2 episodes and… this show unfortunately fell from grace, for me. the 1st 8 episodes were pure gold!!! Ultimately, what didn’t work for me was that all the episodes from then on felt like “filler episodes” — like the writers realized too late that the plot had moved too fast but they have 8 eps left so they just stuck more and more random plot lines and HDD-KangPilSong murder-of-the-day challenges and more of KPS crying and crying and crying and…

      it just stopped working for me but I felt the compelling need to finish the show. and like you @supperwhopotterlock , I just didn’t understand why EVERYONE had to die. Not a single character was left. That was just cruel and unusual punishment.

      What I was actually satisfied with is that our Couple didn’t find some deux-machina way of surviving this unsurmountable ordeal. There was truly no hope. They died. heartbreaking but as real as fiction can get. I was disappointed they bothered with a hint at a reincarnation in the end credits. Reincarnations make no one happy. no one.

      all to say, I won’t be adding this show to a rewatch list but… yeah, it was an ok show.

      glad I have people to chat about it with!

I used to annoy my elder sister all the time. Always interrupting her studies, mimicking her and basically never let her have a moment of peace 😁.

Then it was time for her to prepare for her college entrance exam. She went away briefly for coaching. When she came back, she had got a very cute doll for me. My mother named him delta. And I loved it so much. I nuzzled it so hard that it’s nose fell off and my mom had to stitch it back. (No I’m not embarrassed). It’s nose is still black from it.

Then it was time for my sister to leave for college. I understood objectively that she was going to leave for a long period of time. But I guess I didn’t grasp the magnitude of it then.

Then we had to shift because of my dad’s job. All our stuff were packed in boxes, delta included. Our first few days in the new place, we were staying in a guest house because we were slowly unpacking and our home was not ready yet. I fell sick and couldn’t eat or sleep. It was a small town. It was night. It was raining heavily. My mom was worried. But she took me to our house and unpacked delta. I took it and slept peacefully that night.

Next day, my fever reduced.

Love
