I remember Captain Yoo Si Jin appeared on my dreams sitting on the edge of the pool smilling sweetly to me. I was really not gonna wake up.

Sounds like a very eventful week.

I've had a few drama based nightmares, but thankfully, I can never remember them when I wake up.

I'm actually surprised in a good way by Ji Chang Wook in Suspicious Partner. My first intro to him was The K2 which I thought was a hot mess. I feel I need to watch Healer now after this.

Nam Ji Hyun and Choi Tae Joon are worth it! I never really JCW's fan but I love the other two!

Choi Tae Joon is my new puppy! I always love him but after seeing him in SP, he is so weirdly funny and when he laughed at his own joke, I laughed because of his laugh.

Wow that's some week you've had there Redfox! My week has mostly been tripping over things, and some peope suddenly talking to me again after the whistle blowing I did two weeks ago.

I haven't had drama basen nightmares I think. Though I did have one where I ended up in a strange mix og 1n2d and Running man + horror houses. I have had a couple of nightmares that could easily been made into a cheesy horror movie or drama I suppose though :P

Drama based nightmares? While I was watching Voice I was worried but thank goodness no. Had a few nice dreams but the best one by far was when I had to work along side Song Joong Ki for some random thing. I was sitting next to him and talking to him and he was smiling his cheeky smile... omo I was so pissed when my kid woke me up that morning. Lol.

Not exactly drama-based but i think ive had dreams of the Battle Royale kind. Glad i cant remember lol

I rarely -- if ever -- have nightmares related to things I watch, but after an episode of Tunnel a couple weeks ago, I dreamed someone was trying to strangle me to death... O.O It was a really detached dream, though. Like, I wasn't scared at all, because I knew I was going to fool them and get away. And I did. And part of the time I was more watching it happen than experiencing it myself. But still, it was really weird.

I saw Ji Chang Wook in an interview and he's so much fun.. I started liking him. Am glad he's gotten a chance to do a rom-com. I hear you re: Rebel but after the initial chapters, the stress lessens. I liked the first chapters better than the recent ones. I can imagine those dramacharacters appearing in dreams. The vindictive second lead, the avenger, the serial killer... all good archetypes to use and drama makes them handy.

redfox -

You certainly had an eventful week! I'm hoping next week will be a lot more calm and less stressful for you.

I have to say, your drama nightmare was quite interesting. I don't recall ever having a drama-related nightmare. I'm boring that way.

I did have a drama-based nightmare of sorts recently that I can actually remember some details of. At least, it was nightmarish at first but had a weird ending?

So I never watched Scholar, but in my dream there was a Lee Jun-ki vampire and he was after me pretty badly, in a predator-stalking-his-prey kind of way, although I eventually lost him. And then a chase happened (by a different guy? vampire? who looked oddly like Kim Min-jae) in a weird house where the stairs would go sideways, upside down, (think Labyrinth the movie), which wound up on the roof and I was forced to jump down . . . Onto a floating bed of grass that was rowed by Lee Jun-ki, who was seemingly by then cured. And then we rowed through a pretty lake with flowers in the water and blossoms everywhere like a scene straight out of a sageuk with soft lighting and everything, so like I said, weird?

I woke up before anything more interesting could happen, sadly. Maybe Lee Jun-ki was still a vampire? And it was his odd way of luring in the prey before going in for the kill. I'll never know haha.

I forgot! individualist Ji-young! why was this a short? though I liked the aura of the first ep more, I did enjoy the whole li´l thing. the ending was slightly been-there-done-that though. but in general the heroine was refreshing.

JUST the other night I had my first k-celeb dream. I was responsible for giving Lee Hong-Ki a tour of Texas. And he hooked up with my married friend, which was awkward. Then I took him downtown and we met my buddies who have a band, and they wanted nothing to do with each other. It was actually an unusually tame dream for me, I usually do dream of scary haunted houses and stuff.

...would probably hate being married to me, truly, because my husband is totally right. I would absolutely make Gong Yoo into a trophy husband. ;-)

Third moral: It’s too bad my hubby dropped Oh Hae Young; no more fun conversations about breakups and whatifs.

Aw this story made me smile a lot?

hahahaha who wouldn't want to have GY as a trophy husband??

Also, when I started watching OHY I only kept on watching it because of how purrrty Eric is, but the drama managed to pull me in slowly. I totally agree with your husband, though, there are times in which I just wanted to slap everyone, myself included!
The pool of blood thing does get overused and it gets pretty old BUT....you're almost there! Keep enjoying their chemistry, that's what kept me happy in the end

Seo In Guk is one of the most versatile ones for sure.

I am currently watching Pasta and while I don't think Lee Sun Gyun is a bad actor, he's the type that doesn't morphe into his characters. He's basically just himself, but thrown in different scenarios of life. I have watched Miss Korea, This Week My Wife Will Have Affair, and Coffee Prince. He's more asshole-y in Pasta but he carries himself the same way, if it makes sense? He also has similar hair and styling. Also the same with Gong Hyo Jin, she's really typecasted in dramalandl - she's the ultimate Candy. And no I haven't watched them doing movies to make different judgement.

Seo In Guk on the other hand becomes his character in his dramas, he blends into them and made them alive. Is it because he's not typecasted? or maybe he just always strives to pick different roles in his dramas? Boy I miss the boy and his talent!

Actually there are some actors which are versatile - but most of them either at secondary or supporting territory. For leading men - Yoo Ah In and Seo In Guk are among the few that I see as versatile actor.

Namgoong Min is also very versatile. Blew me away in both Girl who Can See Smells and Remember: Sons War as the psychopathic murderer. Then went and transitioned like it was nothing into comedy with Beautiful Gong Shim and Chief Kim.

My list of versatile actors include Seo In Guk, Park Bo Gum, and Ryu Jun Yeol, and Kang Ha Neul (so ready for him to be in a leading role!!) - they transform their characters and make each one stand out on their own. Actors I think are typecasted are Lee Jong Suk, Kim Woo Bin, Lee Min Ho... they just give the same vibe in every role they play and I don't really see a huge difference in characterization between characters. I do love Woo Bin a lot though!!

Who I think are really typecast is the mother and mother-in-law characters. I always know, oh, it's Eric's flighty Oh Hae Young mother, she'll be married four times in this drama too. There are the dedicated but tragic mom types. The arguing but affectionate mothers. And then I always know when they bring out the Secret Garden mom that she's going to be tough as nails.

I hope we get 4 epi CT this week to make up for last week ? And yessss Tae Min, I cannot forget what he did to his cute cat!

Father Is Strange -Are you behind of last week's episodes because I am afraid to tell you any spoiler? LOL I agree RY will be cooler to work as reporter, she is like a stalker ? She probably can expose many celebrities dating news ? HY is cool lawyer, and I think her character kinda refreshing for weekend drama. Or maybe female lead character in general. Lee Yuri normally will pick up the roles that suit with herself, but she managed to make each character different from each other. I want to see her play a wicked and manipulative queen in sageuk one day. I am reminded how she cameo three times in Perfect Wife with 3 different characters lmao

Ruler - I am only watching for those two main leads. Not really into the story but I hope it will be good drama. L is not bad but still need to polish his acting because some parts seems to be too unnatural, but his efforts are there. Yoon Soo Hee - I wish I can skip her scene. She basically always show us her 'lazy acting'. With L, we can at least criticize which parts we think he can do better, but with YSH - I dont know if it necessary to wish her to improve.

I never saw the charms of the actor who plays the ghost in Typewriter. Saw him here and there in a few dramas. But now he's won me over. And of course my sweetie Yoo Ah In is in it. A serious flake in real life.. So am onboard. As for Man V Man, it's not on viki or dramafever and i'm kinda feeling deprived.

hi @ mango !

everything u watched is what I watched to starting my new session. because, God know I have been in major drama withdrawal since Goblin, weightlifting & chief kim. Sounds a long break huh? haha.

Except Chicago Typewriter. I'm hardcore to the bone YOO AH IN's fans, so I need my calm the f pill & start when it ends. Yeah I'm so tempted. Is my oppa good? (delulu)

Ruler : Master of the Mask
I second u, and for me, this is what I need. I know my bias game is too strong this time, YSeungHo is my everything, but this drama connects with me & I loved it all.
YSH in big part, his charc is so witty, cute, clueless, innocent and dumb, but mix with his deity's fate as poise wise man as Crown Prince. is not that darkk to the bone aka Wang Soo style.
and YES, King commander's son and him is perfect duoooo!!

the rest I finger crossed will be rock n roll

Did you watch last week's episodes for FIS? Shan't spoil it for you, but suffice to say, the shit has hit the fan!

What's the problem with Yoon So Hee?

We can't see who we're following yet, but they are working on it! Now, most of us just go to our notifications history and link to other beanie's sites through that.

Are you in medical school? It's great to see other medical people here!

As far as I'm aware, seeing a list of people you're following is not available yet. I think they're working on it.

The Princess Man has many awesome OSTs!

This Italian song is still my fav. At first it was quite weird to listen to this song in sageuk drama but after a while, it gave more feels for some epic moment?

Hwaiting babe! Enjoy the post exams down time and catch up on your dramas! XD

Older sageuks are still way better than what have these days. "Princess Man" was history based, the romance wasn't but it fit perfectly into the historical feud between the two fathers.
One of my top 10 sageuks.

Love "Whisper" and I'm actually going to finish this show!

"Suspicious Partner" is hitting the spot. I'm easy to please when there is chemistry.

The Princess' Man is my 3rd favorite drama (followed by Gaksital and Healer). It was so beautifully done and so epic. So glad you enjoyed it!

maybe eunuchs liked to play rugby those days?

maybe because eunuch has to kneel down a lot?

Crown Prince in Mask? Aaargh, I wish I could get over whatever childhood trauma I had against hidden identities. I love crown princes. Give me a fantasy with a crown prince (unless he's masked) and I'm hooked. Have a great weekend!

I watched FIS, but I didn't like Ra Young and her love arc. The guy was quite boring, and their love arc wasn't capturing my attention, to be honest. I prefer the other sisters' arcs, and even the eldest brother. I can't wait for him to find out that his wife is the nasty woman who bullied his sister.

Hoping the medical tests turn out good and all ends up well.
