Saying goodbye to Circle this week. The ending feels anticlimatic, and I'm a bit disappointed by the clones plot and how they drop the alien plot altogether then use it at the very end only for an open ending. It's still a good show though, even if I'm not as emotionally attached to it as other beanies.

Still watching and enjoying Duel, Fight My Way, and Best Hit. This week eps are so satisfying.

-Crime Scene 3: Eps 9. I knew it. Makjang cases always fits variety format better. The weirder the characters, the more outrageous backstories they have, the more fun the casts have while playing them. And I love all their hilarious banter. I just wish Jang jin could take a part in that super dysfunctional family.

Currently following only Suspicious Partner (understandable yet predictable separation just like everybody has said) & Best Hit (best gags ever, never getting bored of them). The rest I'm just glossing over.

Skimming down this trying very hard not to catch any Circle comments for when I get round to it.

Another chunk of KDrama just arrived on Netflix so I think Gap-Dong next for me, to add to Forest of Secrets and Lookout.

Having just finished Bad Guys I read aghast the casting for S2. But, he turned round in the cell?!? *sniff*

Seven Day Queen Anti-bromance might be my new catnip, a super fortified catnip laced with crack. Also, whistling Yeok is now my spirit animal, and my spirit animal is on the other side of the wall begging me to go outside and play (queue dream sequence)
My open letter to the cast of Forest of Secret
To Bae Do-na: Thank you for being the nurturer. I am eternally grateful that you fed our poor boy.
To Cho Seung-woo: Your smile is more rewarding and sexier than any shower scene, but please don’t let this comment stop you from ever doing one.

Fight My Way I think I have figured out the parental archetypes for the 4 leads:
Ae-ra –Mama Grizzly who will die protecting her cubs
Dong-man -the dad who will always think despite knowing his daughter’s bullying tendencies she will always be the most adorable kid on earth
Seol-hee –the enabler mom who sees no fault in her kid until that kid goes to jail
Joo-man –the breadwinner who underappreciates the family and justifies all of his douchy behavior with the excuse of going through mid-life crisis

Circle The moral of the story is that the onscreen charisma of Yeo Jin-goo will stunt anyone’s memory.

The Best Hit If I ever do some time traveling on my own, I have to make sure that I pack a flash drive full of GIF of Yoon Shi-yoon’s faces of shock, grump, disgust, delight, and ALL the aegyo. Never mind, I will just Human-B them into my brain.

Father Is Strange Unni’s lawyering against the tabloid reporter is the sexiest thing I have seen all week. The least sexy: any scene with her mother-in-law, and boy there are sooooo many.

Suspicious Partner I need my syrupy rom-com cake back with extra serial-murdery icing on top. This girl wants her cake and her blood sugar getting dangerously low.

We're halfway thru the year! It's a long weekend here so I'll be binging. ? I'm left live-watching 6 (FMW, MSG, SP, Ruler, 7DQ and TBH) but I admit.. Nothing will replace Circle ? I keep saying it, I know! But I really loved everything about that show. And I agree with JB that ultimately the show was driven by love - that is, Woojin is driven by love. Woojin-a ??? I'm still hanging on for Season 2

I love you, Circle. You made me feel all sorts of emotions throughout the entire 12 episode run. Thank you!

Please don't go!!! T_T

I'm so behind with Father is Strange & Fight My Way. I need to find some time for it. Forest of Secrets & Circle good reviews make me want to watch them but where do I find the time for it! T_T
Tell me how you guys did that!

So into Seven Day Queen. The emotions and the feels when Yeok is back.
Fight My Way is also awesome this week cos I can see Seol Hee confidently decides to break up...
I also watch Suspicious Partner and Father is Strange.
And why I feel like I cant wait for the romance + Joong Hee to know the truth.

Currently watching Suspicious Partner and Fight My Way.

For FMW:
One word: Love, love, LOVE, I tell you! ??

For SP:
1) I totally agree: not a big fan on the fact that (almost) everyone is connected in some way...? but excited for the plot to become uber spicy ?
2) Hyun-soo's back, ayyyyy ?
3) This separation angst!!! (Okay, not really complaining because I'm a kdrama masochist BUT I really hope JW and BH end up together sooner than later). ?
4) Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun, please date in real life, thanks ??

Seems like Forest of Secrets is a good drama, excited to start this one tonight !

Forest of Secrets: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥.

Well said.

Finally Circle officially ended with a happy and open ending. Hope for a season 2 with the same lead cast!

Now I'm left with Lookout which is ending soon the week after next or so. No more other interesting ongoing kdrama for me so hope that Bride of try Water God would be good though it doesn't really intrigue me enough with the story introduction. Anyone knows what would be coming up after Lookout?

Okay. I'm starting Circle next week. And maybe squeeze in The Best Hit somewhere. I recently started Suspicious Partner but I'm not very hooked yet. Maybe I'll get all the episodes first...

The Best Hit --- still lovin this show week to week.

Seven Day Queen --- loving the performances here that it hurts.

SP -- I can't past the last episode because of that stupid Noble idiocy. But I've been seeing gifs of the young kid, so will need to get past it no matter what. And yes, please bring back the killer.

Okja -- beautiful film. Also Choi Woo Shik-shi​ doing what he does best.

I have literally only now started Tunnel where everyone is in winter wear while current dramas I am watching everyone in summer wear. It is so jarring yet as my panda eyes prove there is just too many quality dramas this year to miss. I have yet to finish its predecessor drama Voice with me watching halfway thru ep15. Just 1.5 episodes to go.

Suspicious Partner am I the only one who feels the trope is so overused. Kinda getting lame the storyline. Hopefully, Hyun Soo wakes up an amnesiac. Medical inccuracy, always not good to take out your oxygen mask and IV drip.

Ruler of Your own Mask, so much critics for this drama but I am watching for Yoo Seung Ho, I am so happy he is taking on dramas per se, as he gets older, and national service out of the way, he may just jump into the movie world and it may get harder to see him in dramaland.

Fight Your Way is just so nice, but I feel so the Seolhui-Jooman couple. Maybe, it is no good to start a relationship young and feel it wither out when you reaching a more stable part of your life. Everyone changes and hope for bigger dreams, but Seolhui just wants to keep her dream of being a mum alive and Jooman with her.

That's all. Need to start on Lookout, I only caught episode 1.

I am about to start Circle. Guess I found out the ending.

Just signed in to say thanks to last week's comments started Forest of secrets. Fantastic drama and not disappointed so far. This drama even made me miss this week's Fight my way and SP.

I started Good thief and bad thief skip fast forwarding but it is so cheesy and the female lead's acting so glaringly obvious that I was basically gaping at how I was believing all the Forest of secret's world. And did not even notice the actors acting. That was how believable they are.

Guess I will now start Circle. But guess the ending is gutting if Tipsymocha mentioned a clone version 3.

But good golly Forest of secret is so good that I can't believe I have never seen a drama like this. It's not only the acting, it's the editing. It is so slick and seamless.

Fight my way had me sniggering so much in the 1st episode last night. I don't actually know where this show is going and don't care.

More unusually, I can't be bothered about a non-existent love line. This show is so good I have no interest in it being ruined because of doomed loveline.

I agree with girlfriday: give me more of the priest, Lookout!

There's a void in my life after Circle now. ??

I guess I can go back to watching The Best Hit and Forest of Secrets. I was watching them as well and was enjoying them too but they kind well to the wayside when Circle began to consume me whole.

Forest of Secrets: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥.

This is appropriate.

I loved, loved, loved Circle. Please let there be a follow up.
I'm about halfway through watching Answer Me 1988. Even though I already know what's going to happen it doesn't stop me getting upset when I actually watch the show.
I caught up on Fight My Way yesterday. The break up had to happen and I'm waiting to see what follows. I love how honest Dong-man is with Ae-ra and I found the scenes with his dad quite poignant.
I hadn't realised before that Suspicious Partner was going to be 20 episodes long and I wonder if that's why it seemed to go off the boil. Hopefully now our serial killer is back that will inject more tension and pace for the final episodes.
I'm enjoying the chess game that is Seven Day Queen as we move into the next phase of the story.
The Best Hit is so good for the weekend. I'm looking forward to watching last nighht's episode. I caught some of it without subtitles and it looked like Hyun-jae is going to be a love guru. Hee hee.
While trying to decide whether to start Lookout or Forest of Secrets I actually ended up watching Taiwanese drama, Bromance. Megan Lai is probably the best girl disguised as boy I've seen (though her cries were a bit girly) and acceptance of the male/male couple from friends and families was nice to see in a drama.

I'm such a happy beanie now with The Best Hit and Seven Day Queen. That's all I have to say. ❤️️❤️️❤️️

My Sassy Girl... I'll take Dalhan for you. He looks like Wang Kai.

Aaah I can't believe we're officially acknowledging that Circle is over.
I loved this show to bits, and it's been one of my favorites this year...perhaps favorites of all time too.

And @headsno2 I second that, Forest of Secrets needs no words: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I haven't watched this week's suspicious partner episodes yet. Because it's gone into angst territory and I never thought I would say this, but my interest is slightly waning.

I watched fight my what's this week's episodes today and I have to say the parents (except for joo man's family) in that drama are awesome! That show is as much about family as it is about friends.

I loved seven day queen this week's episodes until the last few minutes. That really upset me. Now, I am not enthusiastic about them getting married. There is a going to be a lot of confused feelings and angst. :(
Why would yeongansun do that to the only person who genuinely liked him and cared for him? Especially if he made chae kyung spy on Yeok and if she agrees to do that thinking it will obliterate his suspicions on Yeok, I would be so mad. Did she forget how he told if she wants him to die she can go ask for help? But Yeok and chae kyung's courtship scenes were sweet, especially the part where she puts her hair up. Also, badass chae kyung who wields swords? yes, please!

I want more Yeo Jin and shi mok investingating together scenes in this week's forest of secrets. Also, if we get to see shi mok smile, that would be awesome!

Finished by first Korean lesson test today! End of beginners term 1, and starting term 2 soon! *whew*

And amazingly, I'm now dramaless *gasp* now that Circle has ended. *sob*

Suggestions?

Seven Day Queen?
Best Hit?
Forest of Secrets?

I'm not feeling Bride of the Water God...

Thinking that if nothing catches my eye, I'll just settle for a movie- have so many waiting to be watched like Finding Mr Destiny! (Gong Yoo Oppa!)

Watching :
Lookout - DH, you have a plan, right? RIGHT????
Also the priest gives me camera love vibes. Put this piece of hunk in a drama soon!!

MSG - I love you Joo Won. However, as much as I like Oh Yeon Seo, I would never ever watch this drama if my JW was not here :(
Yes, I have a slight 3rd lead syndrome, no I still don't give a flying f#$& about the second leads.

Suspicious Partner - I am soo behind at this. But for the first time in a while I am liking warching a drama slowly.

Forest of Secrets - I got into the train this week. And I'm never going back again.
Just watched the first 2 episodes, and No Way is he not feeling anything. That man has more feelings than feelings themselves.
And I love Bae Doona's character. When was the last time a female lead was a bad-a$$ without making a big deal out of it, and strong without seeming a total witch.
I love their professional relationship right now and I know I'll probably start to crave romance (but not for our 2 leads) later on :P

I finished Circle which I did love overall, with a reservation.

I adore the Best Hit.

I'm jumping in and out of Lookout and Suspicious Partner.

Forest of Secrets has turned me into a Bar Doona fan-ahjumma. She's just incredible.

These days I'm enjoying immensely The Best Hit. It's so fun and light, and Yoon Shi Yoon is brilliant as Da-Bong (as expected)... ?
Agree with Girlfriday, the show could just go on with the daily lives of all the cast without ever solving the time travel mystery. I would just tune in to see how Da-Bong and the others are doing and enjoy the comedy. They already feel like a family so I don't want the time travel issue to come back, I want Hyung Jae to stay forever ? It seems however that some big revelations are coming next week and the last stretch of the drama will be a more bumpy road than it has been so far.

In the middle watching FOS epi 5 and tomorrow will start binge watch Circle. ? I have one more week holiday, so time for kdrama finally. My plan after done with Circle, is to start Duel.

Atm only following My Sassy Girl for weekday drama, dropping Lookout (maybe will check the last epi). Other drama like Fight My Way, Suspicious Partner - will only see spoilers for some scenes. btw, Sul Hee is the highlight of this week. I really hope she will be stronger and learn to love herself more. I want her to dress herself pretty, meet new ppl, goes to blind dates etc. Although not really watching FMW, but I do appreciate they give us two separate loveline, although there is still someone who wants intervene with their relationship and being delusional, but at least they are not main characters ?

Ruler -maybe will get back at the last 2 epi to see how it ends.

The Best Hit - still following. I love Hyun Jae, but give me more of MC Drill, Grandpa and Mal Sook scenes as well! Whatever will happen between Ji Hoon-Woo Seung, let them settle it soon show, before I get annoyed.

Finished Circle and it was a satisfying ending for me.
Slowly losing interest in Fight My Way because I think it's losing its direction and the story just doesn't go anywhere.
Still enjoying The Best Hit for successfully making me randomly laugh out loud in at least 2 places in an episode, so it will stay with me as an easy weekend watch.
Desperate to watch the next episodes of Forest of Secrets and just waiting for my mind to be blown over and over again.

It's still Seven Day Queen for me!!!! Might start watching Circle pretty soon

Saying goodbye to Circle is going to be hard. I really really REALLY hope we get a season 2. It would be a travesty if that didn't happen!

I finally started Seven Day Queen and I get the hype now. It's so good and I am currently obsessed with it. I was watching Sassy Girl but I kind of dropped that to watch Seven Day Queen because I already have so much I'm watching and one had to go. lol

And this week on Forest of Secrets, Shi-mok smiled and I almost died. I seriously love FoS and Shi-mok is my fav forever.

Circle Season 2! Starring me and Yeo Jin Goo ??? I promise I'll look like Gong Seung Yeon after a few visits to Korea.

Am I right to say there are two camps with regards to the ending? One felt indignant that Woo Jin seemed so easily replaced by Circulate 3 in the hearts of the very people he loved most. The other were happy that memories of Woo Jin continued in Circulate 3 and it was as though he lived on. The alternative would be too painful.
I belonged to the 2nd camp and while I felt guilty, I was happy to see Circulate 3 smile and found acceptance with Bum Gyun and Jung Yeon. It makes me wonder if I have the ability to clone someone who has the exact personality and memories of a dead love one, would I do it?
In any case, viewers are so torn because the drama succeeded best in making us feel for the twin brothers. More than the sci fi elements and the intrigue, it was their love for each other which made us glued to the screen. So I am not surprised why the ending divided the audience.

My Sassy Girl I think Joo Won conveyed a lot more behind Gaksital mask in his duels than Gyun Woo did in his sparring with Prince Dalhan. I do not know if it's intentional but I sure got how bored and tired Gyun Woo was being the translator.

Still watching Seven Day Queen, Lookout and behind in Best Hit and Duel. Picked up Strong Family 2017 again, what a delight!

Counting down to Forest of Secrets. I want the subs to come out like nanoseconds after the broadcast but last week's subs came out not as slow as I had thought. Are the subs coming out faster now? I remember people complaining that it was very slow.

The Big Hit: I laugh out loud every single episode. I don't care about who ends up with whom because this seems like a sit/com at times, and I really can't take it all so seriously.

Fight My Way: Still behind but still enjoying this one.

Suspicious Partner: Overall pleasant watch, but does seem a bit by the dots. Also, agree the whole father scenario is ugh.

Stranger/Secret Forest: It's not perfect. I'm just gonna get that on the record. The lack of curiosity about the phone in the early episode was just too stupid for words. So, no, it is not perfect.....but it's pretty darn close. The acting and directing are great but credit the writer for somehow making corruption actually riveting. Also the pacing is great. Some of the early episodes went over an hour and I didn't even notice. When Goblin did that, I felt every extra minute and not in a good way. I gave my "not perfect" warning to those who binge watched Signal after reading rave reviews and then were upset it wasn't flawless. This drama isn't either but it's a step above any other drama I've seen of cops/lawyers dealing with corruption. I like the fact it is dramatic without being melodramatic (at least 6 episodes in).

Answer Me 1997 or 94....the one with SIG: I've never watched the Answer Me series, but this ended up on Netflix. While I saw fan wars happen with others in the series, everyone seems to universally like this one, and I am fans of the leads. On episode 3 and I get the popularity.

Father is Strange: Hye-young is just the best!!! I'm really dreading the reveal that AJH isn't the father's son and that the father had stolen the real Byun Han Soo's name.

The Best Hit: This is my weekly pick-me-up drama that makes me feel more relax after watching it. I love being able to root for so many characters to work hard and get their dreams.

Lookout: I'm really surprised at how much I like the pacing. We got to tell BM and KS's stories. Just when I was about to really give up on EJ, he teamed up with DH. Just when I thought DH will continue the cat-and-mouse play with YSR, DH revealed himself. And just when victory was close, it was snatched away. I've always bee sort of lukewarm about KYK, but he killed it this week!

Suspicious Partner: I feel like thie drama would have been better if they didn't do the father storyline, kept it at 16 episodes, and combined YJ and JH into one character. I'm still watching it because of my affection for the characters. I'm a little worried that BH, who was the one who got me into this drama, is starting to become a shadow of her former self.

Fight My Way: SH totally ruled this week! I do hope we get to see more of Aera's pursuit of her dream. We get long scenes of DM fighting (and of his enemies trying to bring him down), but barely any of AR doing her announcer thing.

Fox's Summer: Mainland china drama. Started season 2 of it and the second leads finally got a lot less annoying! Instead of being cartoonishly dumb or evil, they're developing themselves into "flawed and sympathetic" territory. I'm actually rooting for them.

I peeked at My Sassy Girl. I'm really glad that it's the female character with the traumatic past this round and that the male character is the one supporting her through this. Wish they hadn't called this a Joseon adaptation of MSG. Seems more akin to MDBC to me. Once MSG and 7 Day Queen are over, I'm going to have to go back and watch them.

Seven Day Queen: I’ll never get tired to mention that this is my favorite on-going drama at the moment. It makes me so desperate to wish for the next episode to be available in an instant. I can’t get over with Yeonsangun confession or rather declaration of him wanting Chae Kyung for his own in the last episode and I’m so ready (really?) for this drama in slowly ruining my life. Lol. I mean I’m ready for more tears and lil’ heart attacks caused by oh so worth it scenes. I just really love this drama! So bad.
Fight My Way: Dong Man and Ae Ra’s chemistry is nothing but crazily exploding! Watching this drama makes me wish so hard that they should already date in real-life which I often make. And one more thing, kudos to Sul Hee. At last! Go girl and try to love yourself more please.
The Best Hit: This show is good for the heart and I don’t need to check my BP while watching it and I like it the way it is. I consider it my needed break after watching heavy stuff, I miss Hyun Jae’s 90’s look though.
My Sassy Girl: Finally they kissed! I’m hoping to see more sweet moments from the leads from now on though I really like the Prince. I can say the story of this drama is better now than early episodes.
Splish Splash Love: Been wanting to watch it for a while now and finally had the time to start it. It gives the feeling of Moon Lovers and Love in the Moonlight at the same time which is both my valued dramas so I think I will love this drama.
My Only Love Song: Binge-watched it and done with this drama this week. It’s a very entertaining drama but don’t expect too much in the plot and don’t mind the oddness of this rom-com historical drama theme, just be happy with the leads overflowing chemistry.

Circle and Fight my Way only for this week.

#Still.Can't.Move.On.From.Circle

Catching Up: Suspicious Partner,Best Hit & Father is Strange.

Trying to Start: Duel / Lookout / Forest of Secrets
- any suggestion which 1 of the 3 should I start 1st?

Ruler This week had major exciting moments and plot movements. Better late than never. Although I am not really hoping that this trajectory is going to last until the finale, I'm here to stay to see this drama end.

Suspicious Partners I have not watched the last two episodes in full. Both Jiwook and Bonghee lost brownie points. And I'm really not a fan of this trope like what GF said. I hope it'll be dealt with next week.

Circle It's done so I can now finally marathon it. I'm ready! I'm readyyyy!

I am excited for the new crop of dramas. I have yet to find my crack. I hope one of the new ones will be the one.

Circle: this show remained amazing from start to finish. It made you question and reevaluate what has been shown on the screen. It made you care for the journey of the twin brothers on two different timelines. I would rewatch this again as soon as my heart settles down.

Fight My Way: AeRa and DongMan are all kinds of awkward as they traverse their new relationship status. And my dear SulHee was amazing as she faced JM and YJ. Hope she continues to be strong and take no more crap from people. My girl deserves better.

Seven Day Queen: Be still my heart. This show just hits all the right spots and continues to exceed my expectations. Even knowing how this will end, I still stick with it because the show knows how to pull you in with the right amount of melancholy, cuteness, suspense on the court drama and amazing portrayals of the actors. I am hooked.

My Only Love Song: this show is all kinds of cuteness. It was light and zippy. Sad that I already finished watching all the episodes. Felt short changed on the Ondal and SooJung cuteness that I started watching the actors' WGM episodes. I think I just became a fan. Their onscreen chemistry is so palpable.

Since Circle is done.. may finally pick up Forest of Secrets since been hearing good things about it.

I'm so behind my kdrama schedule. I'm still at episode 6 for Circle, episode 2 for Forest of Secret, and episode 12 for Lookout. I also haven't watched Suspicious Partner and Ruler episode 29-32. But good thing is that I've watched The Best Hit, Seven Day Queen, Duel and Fight for My Way latest episode. I'm planning to finish watching Circle asap so that I can start watching My Sassy Girl. *fighting to myself*

1. Lookout: Even when people around me said it's not good, I still believe in it. And I actually think it's good. It's also good to see Kim Seulgi has her own little romance (?) with Key's character. They're just so adorable together

2. Father is Strange: My love for the maknae couple is back! I hate it when they separated. So now all the secrets are revealed? Jonghee knows? Well it's damned time he knew the truth

I need to start watching Circle, but I'm saving it for until I'm done with Forest of Secrets. Honestly though I kind of feel like FoH is ruining me for other shows. It's just so assured, elegant, smart, and empathetic. It's hard to find something of that quality. Sigh.

chae gyung and whistling yeok are my current obsession ??? no other show ,,beside princess hours thailand

but i find it attractive for watching Hwa Gun in ruler,,,emmm want to know how this drama ends,,,i drop this drama after watch SDQ
kim kang woo make me eager to watch circle,,,just wait a little longer please ??

I wish more ppl were watching lookout. It’s such a quality drama with a badass female lead, complex characters, amazing action scenes, great use of camera work, a thought provoking discussion of “do the ends justify the means” and a banging soundtrack

I'm behind on everything and will need to binge Lookout and Father is Strange this weekend. Netflix added Misaeng (as Incomplete Life), Nine, oh My Ghostess and Its Okay, That's Love so I will have to run my errands quickly.

Hmmmm, so in conclusion, watch Circle?
