Hi Beanies !

Already 4th in Germany I finally have Internet yeah ! Classes start Monday so I will use all the time I have with my beloved dramas.

I binge-watched Rescue Me, Age of Youth 2, Manhole, Reunited Worlds, The King Loves, Falsify and caught up to the last episode of While You Were Sleeping and to Temperature of Love episode 7. That's a lot !
Kim Jae Wook actually has chemistry with both leads. I'm just shipping him with them.
Woo Tak (or First Love Oppa like I like to him in Goblin) is my favorite on WYWS. I want to see more of the Three Flying Dragons !

Happy Friday :D

Hi Beanies!! This is the first time I'm on an open thread, wow.

I've been in such a terrible drama rut recently. I tried Temperature of Love, and Live Up to Your Name, and I really like them both, but I couldn't bring myself to continue them somehow. The only show I'm currently hanging onto is While You Were Sleeping. T_T I want more cute Woo Tak, more nutty Hong Joo and more cool but clumsy Jae Chan. MORE FLYING DRAGONS!

So Javabeans is in a slump and I'm too and I guess a lot of beanies are in one too. Honestly, I think this year hasn't been good with drama offerings. I have only completed three shows- Circle, CT and SDQ and I am in a slump since SDQ ended. Still have my hopes high for Argon, if its subs get released ever (btw did none of the Korean recappers watched it too? Didn't see anyone commenting about it on What we're watching) an d for the upcoming ones on Revolutionary Love. I need a crack drama please! I want to get out of the slump!

I'm in a drama slump after Strongest Deliveryman :-( Only watching Age of Youth now, and rewatching Goong from where I left off last year for the lovely soundtrack. ANy good sageuk to reccommend? I've already watched SFD, Dae Jang Geum, Dong yi. TWDR was a bit too dry for me though, I like something with more romance/like those about the women in the palace!

Waiting for the Kim Ji Suk drama to start!! :-)

Jae Chan😍 why so cute?

After identified the similarities between Joo Yoo-rin & Song Ji-won, I'm now re-watching My Girl epi 1. Besides, I kinda miss Lee Da-hae too. Wish to see her and Kim Hyun-joo back to dramaland next year,with good projects of course.

I've been counting the new dramas that will start this week there is 8 new dramas ( lazy to write the nemes)
3 on tvn
3 on KBs
1 Mbc
1OCN
1 JPTC
And i am still interested in all of them

SBS dramas While You Were Sleeping and Temperature of Love are the only ones I'm watching these days. Cant wait for more shows next weekend. This weekend will be another weekend with no dramas :( Thinking of rewatching Pinocchio, would that be a good idea? I watched I Hear Your Voice just last December so probably not time to rewatch, YET.

Happy Friday Beanies 😊
and random hi to Sunbae 👋 and Sabu 👋 ….🙃ㅋㅋㅋ

Highlights of this week :
◾ Update after one of my post in the previous What we’re watching : I’ve checked some recaps/articles and it seems like that the new features quick appearance on September 19th followed by the site down had another consequence : all emojis (except ❤ heart emoji , lol) have been replaced by “?” 😲 in recaps/articles prior to Sept. 19th 😱 except the fan wall (Oppa war is safe 😉). My posts in School 2017 recaps look sad now T_T .
◾ I was hoping for Roy Kim to sing an OST for Temperature of Love (ToL) but he made one for While you were sleeping which I’m not watching 💔…still it’s Roy Kim 🤗...still hoping he’ll sing one for ToL 🤗
◾ @Javabeans seem to be in a serious drama slump 😟. I’ve watched only ToL this week, I’ve put Rebel Thief on hold again it’s good but I’m not in the right mood to appreciate it, so I’m in a drama slump compared to my usual schedules. That means making gif of Tol & 1n2d, watching more variety shows 🙃…but strike is still going on at KBS & MBC so no Infinite Challenge neither I live alone, regarding 1n2d : this week ep edited by higher officials w/o Yoo Il Young PD and the staff isn’t the true 1n2d T_T . Next week I’ll add Revolutionary love in my schedule , I hope I’ll have as much fun as I had with She was pretty hoping to see a crazy/funny Siwon again 😊 and dimples dimples dimples ㅋㅋㅋ.
◾ New milestone : 12,000 upvotes reached 😎😁 (I’ve already chosen my special guest, I just need to prepare the little party to throw it this weekend 😊)

Hey Beanies!

About a quarter of the way through Woman of Dignity. Anyone else watched this and have some thoughts? I'm uncertain where I stand so far...it's got potential, but I was never very much of a Desperate Housewives fan, and that's what this feel like right now.

Hi everyone!! Hows your friday going ? Speaking of slumps - I think I may be in one as well. I barely watch dramas right now and am only encouraged to watch when with a chingu of mine. At first I thought it was because of my phone ( no laptop for a while now so my phone is my "window" to the world) but I remember the days of watching Shopping King Louie and other dramas that aired late last year/earlier this year and using my phone was no problem then, especially as I would always be on a haste to catch up with the most recent episodes and discuss them here.

Oh well....

On another note though, I've picked up learning Korean again. I use app called Hello Talk. On there you can chat with foreigners as a way of strengthening your language skills - this app is a language exchange app and includes all languages, not just english and korean
If anyone's interested, give it a go! (I feel like i just did an advertisement lol) It's actually pretty fun and has quite a few features - a couple of daily instant translations (ngl i prefer google translate tho), a timeline on which people can post, and most importantly - fun people! (beware - ive heard of perverts but never encountered any, its still a social media platform and so if youre interested in checking it out, please be careful with your pictures (you dont hv to post any - i dont and i still hv fun on there ^^)) App is available to both Apple and android users on their respective app stores.

I was wondering if anyone else has ever wondered if they're doing the right thing/being fair in a particular decision they are making and so therefore start low-key wishing their life was a drama being recapped on here so that the decision could be analyzed and they could get support from beanies in the comments section. Anyone else? Only me ? Crickets? Okay moving on:

Right now i just bring myself to read recaps - thats how Ive been following drama.

But has anyone else caught a few japanese live-actions? Kyou no kira kun? Peach girl (if u hv tell me where)

Aahhh i was also wondering if anyone else was wondering who would portray Louie in the Suits remake. I wonder if they'll make him into an antagonist? Yknow, maybe he'll be jealous and petty one who outs mike? In this version (considering itll have a shorter run than the original- they could do anything with the characters)

Well, i am looking forward to mad dogs - because Kang Unnie and uri Dong-Chul haha. We'll see.

Have a nice day people!

So does anyone know why sbs don't have clips from wyws on their YouTube channel like they do with other shows....i feel they are experimenting with it cos they didnt realy promote it.It was jst the fans that were hyping it

Was there some sort of glitch last night? The while-you-were-sleeping-episodes-7-8 recap disappeared after it had been up for a while..... ?????

Hello Beanies!

Time has finally come that AoY2 will end tomorrow. So as my time here in DB. 😭😭😭 Once the recaps for the final episode of AoY2 is out, I'll be officially taking a leave for a month or two. 😥 I've got a major exam to take this coming November and I've been slacking for the past few months. So I've got to up my game and study for the remaining weeks. 💪🏼

But I'll be staying up late for episode 13 😜 (While trying my best to study).

I am in something worse than a drama slump. This week, I gave up trying to try and indulge myself in an endless loop.

I badly need a new addiction like a crack drama to pull me out of this current state.

Hi Beanies!

Thought I'd share that I submitted a screenplay for a competition last weekend. I was going to make it a 16 one-hour episode series set in London, before I came to my senses and made it 30-min episodes instead, as it was for UK tv and that's the format that their comedies normally take.

I did keep the 'fake' cold open (as inspired by Marriage Not Dating) and have a character say 'Fighting!'

Not sure it's what they're looking for, but I had a lot of fun trying to create a kdrama-style UK TV series.

Happy Friday!

Live up to your name ended 😭 but such a warm, satisfying ending tho 💕❤️😊

hello fellow beanies!!! this week’s been rather hectic, but Age of Youth 2 is ending this week i don’t really know how to feel about it?? I’m glad we will finally have closure and i’ll be able to stop refreshing a gazillion times waiting for the subs, but then again i’m terribly sad that we have to part with our favourite housemates (for at least another year or so) (hopefully we’ll see them again next year!!) I’ve become really attached to all our dear housemates over the episodes and i feel like we’ve gotten to know them really well we somehow feel like one of them? also i’ve got 17days to exams which makes the impending drama slump after aoy actually good??? so i can focus and do my work properly :) really looking forward to more of javabeans’ fun articles on drama slumps :)

Hi hi!

Girls Generation 1979 (8 episodes long): I loved this retro coming-of-age kdrama with its universal themes of loss of innocence, making decisions, authority and rebellion, exposure to new ideas, sexual awareness, self-awareness, love. (“Is embarrassment worse than betrayal?”) It felt like a delicious, short novel that you can’t put down and is over too soon.

Temperature of Love – of course I love Jung Sun and Hyun Soo together, but I admit that Jung Woo (Kim Jae Wook) gives me second-lead syndrome every time. He needs a leading role soon! Writer/chef combo is passionate!

Hospital Ship: I don’t mind the acting but the story isn’t all that interesting.

Watching all sorts of k-variety (with some of my regulars are on hold): I Came Alone, Law of Jungle Figi; Abnormal Summit; Battle Trip; My Daughters Men (Isn’t dads watching their adult daughters date is too hard on them? Cotton candy lattes! ); Fantastic Duo; Weekly Idol (if you want to learn quirky things about idols, this is the show for you); Night Goblin.

Finished rewatching Reply 1997 (speaking of retro coming-of-age kdramas, Seo In Guk and APink’s Eun Ji are the best! Did anyone watch her in Trot Lovers? Also a cute and fun kdrama. I hope she continues acting.) Next: Chilabongie!

October Things: I snipped bunches of lovely lavender from the yard and tied small dried bouquets and wreaths with raffia for Christmas gifts. I also boiled lavender, strained it, and added witch hazel to the fragrant liquid to make facial mist. It is very nice. To make bath soak: layer lavender bath salt, Himalayan pink bath salt, and dried lavender buds in pint jars. The smell is heavenly and they are so pretty, too!

Have a great weekend!

Hi, beanies! Talking about drama slump, I think I got it too. Last I watch is 7DQ. But, I'm totally anticipating new Dragon Brothers variety show. It's Kim Jong Kook, Cha Tae Hyun and Jang Hyuk in one show. Yeay! Plus Hong Kyun Im in Hong Kyun Min. It's like dream come true. One more week to go.

Does anybody know if there are pictures from the 10-year party available somewhere? Preferably high resolution. There used to be medium-resolution pics on DB's photobucket page, but I can't find them now.

PS: if you find some, I'm the white guy with the gray beard. Just saying "white guy" is almost enough to identify me, but I recall one other.

Happy Friday Beanies!!!

Next week, at this time, I'll be in South Korea already!!!!! *hyperventilates*

I am SO SO SO EXCITED!!!! haha. All the more awesome is that I am enjoying While You Were Sleeping very much so, and I cannot wait to walk around and see the country where the dramas are filmed.

I. Cannot. Wait.

I do however need to run off because I'm a mega procrastinator and SOMEHOW have not planned my itinerary finish yet. LOL. Will come back and talk to you all later. XD

Hope everyone is having a good Friday!

Hello Beanies!
This week is a pretty busy week for me! I got off work late and came home late, so I only had a chance to watch 1 ep at night after work. I still haven't watched this week's episodes of ToL! 😩 And I haven't watched WYWS ep 7-8 and LUTYN ep 11-16.😫😫😫 But the good thing is that all the short weekend dramas' slots are empty this week, so I can spend my weekend watching those episodes that I haven't watched yet. Nevertheless, I got a chance to finish Girl's Generation 1979 and I gotta say, it's worth my 8 hours of watching that drama! If you haven't watched GG1979, you can give it a try! 😁

Anyway, I'm excited and terrified at the same time for all the 9 dramas that will be premiered next week. I'm super excited for Mad Dogs, Go Back Couple, The Package and Revolutionary Love.I'm also interested to give Because This is My First Life and Black a try. Gosh, I'm terrified if I can't have enough time to watch all the new dramas including the one that I'm watching right now ToL and WYWS.

My drama 2017 (Live Up To Your Name ❤) has come to an end. Seriously need to move on with life. My Europe trip is less than a month away. Where should I hang around with only half a day in Imperial City Vienna?
