After slice of life romances like Yumi’s cells and 25 21, Business Proposal isn’t working for me. I want rom coms to atleast do the comedy part well if they take a formulaic approach on the romance.
I don’t connect with anything in 39 much. The characters are kind of caricatures for how 39 yo women would be. YWJ is wasted and honestly his character is slightly annoying and idk why a show about terminal illness needs romance pushed in. What’s worse, you have SYJ and JMD crying about a terminal illness and I couldn’t feel anything really because we still don’t know a lot about their bond or it isn’t shown that well. The writing is really off somehow. That said, as much as I think the Joo moo saeng/cheating story arc is forceful too(and I don’t like the convenient angle it has taken) , only he made me cry this episode. His scene with JMD was so raw. So maybe I’ll stay for that, or the unnie or maybe for the unrealistic high expectations i set for this show that left me disappointed in many ways.
first 2 episode and i am already on dropping mode.
this show feels soo superficial and added terminal illness at plot point makes it even more shallow to me. its going to be a big Indian Khichdi (porridge) with all big selling plot points in one pot to expect viewers would like… i am badly disappointed with this show.
last week one night stand put me off and now this terminal illness being trivialized.. i am dopping it officially.
Watching Grid before 39 was a good decision. Needed sth thrilling and it delivered while I paused at 39’s first few minutes. Plus the 48 minute compared to the 1h17 min was an instant catch.
Love February ends on a perfect note by watching 25 21. This show has everything working for me and it has exceeded my expectations. I’m so glad to be out of slump (well atleast for Sat Sun so i look forward to something). Also Jaurim’s 25, 21 (which I guess is where the show gets its name from) was the icing on the cake. I didn’t know the song but Kim Yoon ah is my ultimate favorite singer. I lover her voice and skills but I haven’t been listening to her for a while so I couldn’t put my finger on it, however, I immediately liked it like I have many of her songs. So I was pleasantly surprised to find out it is indeed her and such a beautiful song that is.
I haven’t been active for Love, February this year but I’d really like to thank every beanie for always listening and sharing their wisdom making this a community that’s very hard to leave even if I’m in a drama slump. I go to beanies rather than people in my circle for real life advice because I find people here are from different backgrounds and experiences but the same level of compassion. This year when I finally quit all social media, I’m more than glad to only retain my connection to this world. So thank you everyone, I hardly ever return disappointed from here.
I don’t know if dramas are particularly stingy over releasing BGM(instrumentals) or they are at some place I’m unaware of. Anyways guys please let me know if you find the instrumentals for Red Sleeve Cuff.
On Itunes, you can find almost all k-dramas’ OST, either searching using the English name of the drama + OSt to reduce the results, or sometimes you have to copy-paste the korean name. The Albums always encompass the entire OST once the drama is finished, meaning songs + instrumentals only when there were… during the drama broadcasting, they release the main song per “part” only. But at the end, on the full album / various artists version, you find instrumentals if there were …
weird, i don’t see my first reply…
I wrote that you find almost all dramas’ OST on Itunes, and the instrumentals only if there were some, on the full album/ various artists, only released after the drama broadcasting end. Before, they release the main song per “Part” only…
From experience—from The Goblin OST. The official sound track will have instrumentals as well, not just the ballads. But, there may be some unreleased instrumentals that are med there. Case and point, the stairways of heaven song/amnesia from Goblin is not in the official ost, but was on the composers YouTube channel for the drama. I had to look for it—meaning spent hours finding it. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU_4YFeTxn_k1YR7aUH9AN9hnvhRvotqx
I’ve just checked on iTunes and only the songs are available.
It happened as well with Run On, I never could find the album itself.
I wish I could also find the whole album, if I do I will let you know on Discord, but as Ally said it would be more likely to find it on YouTube.
There are 25 tracks on this youtube channel. Sadly, not the two I was looking for which seem like theu are from the offical bgm. . Jbtw i could find instrumentals for Run On on yt a year back tho. If you need them, I can look into them again.
Jist checked, they are still updating it on YT. I don’t remember hearing so many instrumentals in the show lol. I guess that’s because they use the same instruments so not many sound different from each other.
It’s so good to see the fanwall full of posts again. Everytime I log in, there’s a bunch more to catch up to. I will not be joining because I haven’t watched as many shows so I’ll be repeating myself in each category but I’m thoroughly enjoying reading all of yours!
It’s so sad that there is no recap for Red Sleeve Cuff because after ages I want to discuss and spazz about it on recaps. It’s still not too late DB staff. Every episode of this show is great and I really appreacite how theu don’t use songs and only instrumentals to set the mood. Intense sageuks like this one should only have instrumentals. Can’t wait for the next episode, Friday Come soon!
Maybe I should start a weekly wall hangout thread- I wouldn’t be able to recap much like Toki, but it would be somewhere to camp at least? What do you think?
It really is unfortunate. I understand that not every show can be recapped and traditional sageuks in particular can be tricky, but this show is such a gem. I can practically feel all the missing discussions we could’ve had in the comments.
Maybe @db-staff can create a ” (Insert Drama name) : Beanies’ Discussion Thread”, for series which they won’t be covering in recaps, Open Thread or “1st Episode Review only” . This way all the dramas can have their own space for discussion 😅😅
Oh, and I forgot @stroopwafel to create the drama hangout for Red Sleeve Cuff soon. Or come someone who will creating a series review after this Kdrama was over already so you better wait for the series review for this sageuk patiently.
Right? It’s frustrating to watch a scene and think, “oh boy I can’t wait to talk about this in the recap. Oh, there is no recap” ☹️
Many thanks to @kiara for helping us out on the fan wall.
These real world dystopian shows from Netflix are really something. Gave me the creeps about the world we live in and how conveniently we ignore the problematic elements. Hellbound
If you watch the show it hints a lot at people being judgemental in the pretense of self righteousness and where that could lead the world to (For instance there’s a scene of teenagers beating up a professor for saying sth that does not align with their beliefs and the supposed beliefs which are thought to be ideal yet are problematic) . Idk if you watched it yet or plan to but saying more will spoil it for you. It actually felt more like a Black Mirror episode.
Thanks for explaining! I watched all the episodes of the drama and didn’t like it because I was waiting for logic behind the supernatural events, which they never elaborated. Regarding the judgemental aspect of the drama, I feel it was similar to “The Devil Judge” which I found was more entertaining even with all the dramatic set-up to catch the baddies.
At first, I was waiting for the supernatural explanation too but soon realise that’s not what the story is about. The prophecy cases are in fact sporadic like many unexplainable things reported around the world (like UFOs). At the core of this storytelling is how human manipulates situations to their own gain or justification – and how it should be undone. I find it a very satisfying watch. I like its ending a lot but not the epilogue as it brings back to supernatural.
I get that the series wanted to focus more on humans, but the execution from ep 4 din’t make much sense. It went completely one directional with the religious cult and fear mongering using “sinners”. They showed a time skip, but nothing was actually shown about how human lives changed, how crime rates were affected or how the families of the “sinners” were trying to live in a society after demonstration.
Maybe…
But then again, Seo Sook-hyang is one of my fave writer, so I’m pretty sure I’ll hold a grudge if he did say yes to the offer. Besides, I’m cringing already since writer Seo is fond of cocky (almost jerk-y) lead male, and I can’t stand LMH playing that kind of character.
Oh yes SSH’ leads maybe a jerk but they carry warmth and nuance which people like JJS and even Junho could ace. I doubt LMH can pull off that and add warmth to his character. But also i think both of these actors only have drama news when they have confirmed it already especially GHJ so maybe this is happening.
Is it wrong that I am answering everyone who’s watching Squid Game which is EVERYONE that there are uh… better kdramas? I feel conflicted because they all seem so passionate about it but imo there are better dramas and SG did not elicit as much an emotional response in me as I am seeing it in the non kdrama fans.
Maybe this is their first foray in kdrama emotions but SG had them muted too. It’s weird how they passionately approach me and my response is meh because that’s how I feel about it. And when I recommend them other stuff, they are not up for watching it.
Think of it as their gateway drama and maybe suggest some of your favorites that could pull them in even further. I’ve been suggesting Vincenzo as a next drama because first, it’s good. Second, it has the violent (yet fun!?!?) overtones that may be appealing to the SG audience while also having more of the classic kdrama flair. I think it might be a good bridge to full on kdrama addiction.
Right now I’m recommending on my own but it seems like people are more looking forward to the next big thing on Netflix than the next kdrama, atleast the people around me.
Are there though? That list of truly good kdramas are few and far between. Kdramas have a list of international remakes along with a formulated programs you can set a clock to.
This comments reads like a show became a monoculture and that bothers you.
If Squid Game did not have the backing of Netflix and its promotions, would you say the same.
Yes imo there are and yes I would’ve said the same had it not been on Netflix. That actually is the issue, I feel that unlike on DB where I can state honest opinions about the show, I can’t really do that to people around me regarding SG. And I guess you’re taking it wrong I’m really happy for the success of SG, these people who have side eyed me for watching kdramas are finally watching and hoping to discuss it with me. But I’m kinda bummed I cannot reciprocate their enthusiasm when it is kind of my chance to introduce them to more dramas through it.
I’m dying of second hand embarrassment in ep 6 of Yumi’s cells 😂. KGE is really good in expressing different reactions of the cells and Goo Woong is slowly becoming a favorite ML, right next to him is Ji Seong Hyun being the best man in Homecha. Du Shik needs to talk to him more often.
Recovering from the first epsiode of Squid Game even if they gave away climax of that episode in the trailer, seeing it in detail was a horrible experience 🤮 The world is dystopian enough to watch sth like this for entertainment but I guess that\’s why they continued playing the game in the first place.
1. Actors this time are more easy to tell
2. those puzzle pics .. lol.. such dead giveaway
3. The way cast is guessing, i guess in reality they definitely are able to feel what is off.. because for us it is still editing masking a lot of things

Is it wrong that I am answering everyone who’s watching Squid Game which is EVERYONE that there are uh… better kdramas? I feel conflicted because they all seem so passionate about it but imo there are better dramas and SG did not elicit as much an emotional response in me as I am seeing it in the non kdrama fans.

Maybe this is their first foray in kdrama emotions but SG had them muted too. It’s weird how they passionately approach me and my response is meh because that’s how I feel about it. And when I recommend them other stuff, they are not up for watching it.

Think of it as their gateway drama and maybe suggest some of your favorites that could pull them in even further. I’ve been suggesting Vincenzo as a next drama because first, it’s good. Second, it has the violent (yet fun!?!?) overtones that may be appealing to the SG audience while also having more of the classic kdrama flair. I think it might be a good bridge to full on kdrama addiction.

Right now I’m recommending on my own but it seems like people are more looking forward to the next big thing on Netflix than the next kdrama, atleast the people around me.

I am the same, there are so many better dramas. However I an glad I now have more friends getting into kdramas 😄😄

Yeah totally glad about that. Also someone spazzed about how handsome an actor was and I proudly said “that’s what kdramas do to you” 😂

Are there though? That list of truly good kdramas are few and far between. Kdramas have a list of international remakes along with a formulated programs you can set a clock to.
This comments reads like a show became a monoculture and that bothers you.
If Squid Game did not have the backing of Netflix and its promotions, would you say the same.

Yes imo there are and yes I would’ve said the same had it not been on Netflix. That actually is the issue, I feel that unlike on DB where I can state honest opinions about the show, I can’t really do that to people around me regarding SG. And I guess you’re taking it wrong I’m really happy for the success of SG, these people who have side eyed me for watching kdramas are finally watching and hoping to discuss it with me. But I’m kinda bummed I cannot reciprocate their enthusiasm when it is kind of my chance to introduce them to more dramas through it.

i would recommend sweet home for these people…it’s so far better imo…their emotional stories and every character were so well written

I haven’t seen Sweet Home yet but I will recommend it to others.

I’m dying of second hand embarrassment in ep 6 of Yumi’s cells 😂. KGE is really good in expressing different reactions of the cells and Goo Woong is slowly becoming a favorite ML, right next to him is Ji Seong Hyun being the best man in Homecha. Du Shik needs to talk to him more often.

Didn’t expect I’d like this show as much.

Recovering from the first epsiode of Squid Game even if they gave away climax of that episode in the trailer, seeing it in detail was a horrible experience 🤮 The world is dystopian enough to watch sth like this for entertainment but I guess that\’s why they continued playing the game in the first place.

you mean worth watching or not

Oh yes definitely worth watching. I’m at ep 4 now 😅
I haven’t been recently able to watch anything serious, hence the post.

Lost is exactly how I expected it to be, utterly depressing. Though there\’s some hope at the end for it to become lighter going forward.

The team at Sixth Sense puts in so much effort in making the fake settings that nothing really looks impossible to do in real life.

It is actually, more than the first one. Or maybe we are now familar with their strategy.

Ya.. maybe
1. Actors this time are more easy to tell
2. those puzzle pics .. lol.. such dead giveaway
3. The way cast is guessing, i guess in reality they definitely are able to feel what is off.. because for us it is still editing masking a lot of things
