Yay for a recapper liking slice of life genre the most. Even though kdramaworld makes them less, they make them best.

Nice to meet you Odilettante :). I always wondered what your username meant. I have to say that "Slice of Life" is also my favorite genre and I agree I don't like makjangs, sometimes they can be interesting and sometimes they are too much. I would also love to play any character Kim seul-gi has ever played, specially her character in "Splash Slash love"
About meeting Kim Jae-wook, he did such a good job at playing the killer in "Voice" that I admit I would be a little unsettled in meeting him, lol. I would happily listen to you talk about the "cultural ramifications of WWI" WWI and WWII were my favorite topics in World History class and I enjoy learning more about these time periods. Those were sad times but we can learn so much from them.

i really like im joo eun's character in wild romance too! didn't know your avatar was dongah~

Even though I've no idea what shows are in the mutant baby drama plot... (Faith? Aging idol star rings a bell but I just can't put a finger on it) it's hilarious because it sounds like a mishmash of all the weirdest things ever.

Side note: how do you guys choose ONE out of the 7 deadly sins? I think all of them will be my undoing, hah!

best mutant drama ever LD

I still watch Hana Yori Dango on 2017. It's one of my favorite dorama. The bratty Domyouji Tsukasa is a classic annoying lol. He's such perfectly imperfect character.

Kim Seul-gi is an underrated Actress meanwhile Kim Jae-wook is one of sexiest male alive in this planet lol You did have a good taste.

Anyway nice to meet you... I love read your drama recaps. Seriously~

I would totally watch your mutant baby drama!!

This is a mutant drama on steroid!

Could it possibly be an unholy spawn of a foursome consists of Reply 1998, Trot Lovers, Queen Inhyun's Man, and Shoppong King Louis?

Nice knowing more about Odi :)
that moment at the cathedral sounds both drama-like and frightening. Hopefully, it's not a too bad memory.

I've never heard of the job of professional escort before, I wonder what the qualifications for it are?

That was quick. I'd never thought it was that easy to explain yourself (or so i think).

Hi @Odilettante, how are you? So nice to meet you. Wow! I gotta say, iam confused about your mutant-drama's plot. Who marries her, and what's her name?

HAHAHAH, you remind me of me!

Short answers, not sticking with dramas I don't like but loving slice of life, driven by food, doing nothing with the degree earned, and wanting to sleep forever. And if your favourite drama is Answer Me 1997 (and MiSaeng), we're sisters. Soul sisters.

Yehey!!! The one i have been waiting for.

@odilettante is also very funny. Love stalking her Tumblr account.

I started with Hana Yori Dango too.
That led me to watch Boys Over Flowers, and then all Lee Min Ho's drama(as in, I've seen them all...) and ye, I didn't know I'd love kdrama this much.

Hilarious mutant drama! As you can see, I'm assuming it would be a total comedy.

It's great to know a little more about you. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your recaps.

It's like a mutant baby drama had another mutant baby drama to arrive at your version! :P

I see Answer Me 1997, Trot lovers, Queen In Hyun's Man and Shopping King Louis! I feel like the "everyman who falls in love with her comes down with some baffling and tragic ailment" is also a drama! But wait- out of them all I have only ever heard bad things about Trot Lovers! And if Answer Me 1997 is your favourite, then did you hate SKL??? How could you hate Louis and Bok Shil. They could be considered crazy for sure though! :)

seems like am the only weird that started kdrama addiction with i am sam， love pmy ever since then and i remember thinking ajusshi is the name of teacher jang *lol*

Lol...your mutant baby drama sounds crazy. I see threads of Reply 1997, Trot Lovers, Queen Inhyun's Man and Shopping King. I think I missed one but those are the only ones I can identify.

Nice meeting you odilettante!

Your kdrama moment does sound creepy but in kdramaland thats fate since you met sometime in your childhood and fate just pushed you back together ???

I still don't know how you got through recapping Dear My Friends. I would have sat at the keyboard sobbing and nothing coherent would have come out. Thank you for doing it, and so well.

You are a kindred spirit of mine, Odilettante. I was also introduced to Korean drama through Hana Yori Dango.

odilettante, thank you for the Misaeng recaps (with dramallama), they are works of art.

And, your mutant drama baby made me laugh so hard I scared the cat ?

Is it weird that I look forward to reading these mutant baby dramas from the writers? Those dramas are crazily interesting and fresh.
Shopaholic conman? Genius. The money swindled from those tax invaders is well-spent.
"'Who's the husband' becomes a chilling threat", and yet we're stay tuned watching the whole thing while tortured inside...
Now my heart ache again for Chilbong.

It's so much fun reading these... :D and your short replies to this thread are hilarious too!

"Dignity be damned" - that is the perfect word to describe a fangirl's life lol can't stop laughing! Ah Hana Yori Dango, the very best (I watched BBF and Meteor Garden too so yeah).

And thank you Odilettante for recapping Misaeng with such love. It is, hands down, one of my favorite k-dramas of all time and reading the recaps while watching it made the ride super memorable!

Haha, I'm a Humanities major with a writing minor. I could write you one mean paper, or teach (NOT a good idea; kids in large groups are terrifying). I find WWI and the decades leading to it fascinating. From reading the comments, it looks like we could have a great time in a beanie WWI campfire meeting!

Ah, @odilettante with her own brand of subtle snark, loved your recaps. Thank you for sharing the joy that is Misaeng!

"The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!" Angela Lansbury is so beautiful in that movie. You have good taste there.

Sunbaeeeee! ♥

Danny Kaye, right? I'm a TCM fanatic. The Court Jester is one of my favs too!

Parks and Rec is one of my faves too! Every character is so fun and very relatable in one way or another.

Yay for parks and rec! ?
Also if you want to talk about WWI I will listen. The whole time.

The mutant baby dramas always amaze me lol. I just sit and admire the imaginations of our DB staff.

I want to see this mutant baby drama for some reason. Nice to "meet" you odilettante!

Hi odilettante, good to meet you.

Your mutant baby got my brain into a spin and the rest of me chuckling long and hard.

Definitely with you in heartily disliking 'lazy-writing'. I'm thinking it's not so much a genre as a terribly bad habit that shows throw into the pot, because their plot, they have not a lot.

And tear-jerker makjangs, I no longer touch, even with a 100 foot pole, since they have no choice but to be contrived and manipulative, to keep jerking those tears out of viewers.

Thanks for all your recaps and reviews. It's been good reading you. Take care! ?

Hi Odilettante! I was trying to pinpoint the two parent dramas, but by reading the comments I see this mutant baby comes from a big, blended family! Jolly good fun. I love Kdramas for many reasons but largely for your reason- The predetermined end date. US shows, even most great ones, go on until they're terrible and can't be renewed anymore. This set-number-formula is just right for me! Although now my distractibility and tendency to move on to what is shinier has gotten worse, and if I'm not marathoning, I tend to drop most dramas about 3/4 in, which is sad. I adore the slice of life style of the Reply series too girl. Nice to know ya!

Oh, I thought your username cames from the name "Odile"
Kdramas' slice of life know how to bring me to tears.... i love them

Nice to meet you odilettante.

yeay finally someone from dramabeans who enjoys parks and rec! btw ive always enjoyed reading your recap. glad to know more about you!

Kim Seul-gi! Fantastic choice!??

Oh gosh, my favorite mutant baby drama, so far!

Nice to meet you, O! :)

You had me with your proposal....???????

Mutant drama title: Joseon Conman.
