Congratulations to Mother to be nominated for Cannes festival!!!

Oh, guys, it's GOT7's comback! :-D It was funny to see youtube votes coming from back to forward several times. I didn't know this is possible.

The Great Seducer only got 3.8 rating from Beanies, why??
I haven't started it, but am curious. How bad is it that it got less than 4 stars from beanies?

Why is QM2 dragging this case out??? It's so uninteresting. It does not need another episode to solve. The investigation seems very sloppy, like they keep going back to ask suspects 1 question at a time. Plus, the whole "what about the ring" trope is getting tired. For 2 people who dedicate their lives to fishing out clues and solving tough mysteries, finding out about the ring seems to elude them. It's so annoying!

TGIF bc I get to watch Misty!

Hi Beanies!! Happy Friday ~ I’m still on my sageuk kick (Six Flying Dragons, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and The Grand Prince), and enjoying it immensely ~ I love all the reasons I have to look up history to help my understanding of time periods and characters. Before I went into healthcare I got my degree in history, and tried to focus on non Western sources, since the usual American school system history books have a definite bias (which is true of any country’s history at the end of the day). I always feel that, since as Americans we are supposed to be more of a melting pot, since it is a nation of immigrants (aside from First Nation peeps of course), we should get at least some perspective of history from at least the various continents and geographic areas, if not the countries, of the world at large.

Anyways, I’ll stop ranting. I missed Waikiki this week, and am excited to have it back next week! I also finally obtained my professional license yesterday (and promptly broke down in tears the rest of the day because of how awful this three month process has been). Thanks for being a part of my stress relief during this time Beanies 🤗🤗

Anyone watching Indonesian movies? I happened to come across this YT vid that caught my interest. Found out the name of the movie, watched it, liked it. It’s called “Assalamualaikum Beijing”. Watched another movie with the male lead from that movie, in a supporting role this time, didn’t like it, “Air mata surga”. So now I am looking for recommendations. Should be a happy ending, no action or horror movies please :) Subs preferably in Eng, but German, Turkish are fine as well. Thanks in advance!

I love 'The Great Seducer'!! There were many uncomfortable scenes (the supermodel mother for example -.-) but I'm so glad they didn't shy away from those topics.. we've had enough fluff in kdrama world so I'm glad that this show brings forth icky relationships and morally ambiguous characters without being too preachy.

Hi Everyone! ....... I hope you are all doing well today!

This week:

Radio Romance - I mentioned to a fellow Beanie after episodes 1 and 2 that PD Lee might in fact be Ji-woo. Of course we're not absolutely sure if this is the case, but I wouldn't be surprised at this point.

Misty - Still love it! I'm a little behind on this though! *sadface* ..... I hope to catch up this weekend. ..... My new, little crazy thought: what if there are in fact two brooches? The real one and a copy.

Mystery Queen 2 - Moments between Seol-ok and Wan-seung are always awesome. ..... Quite unsure about Wan-seung's brother right now.

That's all for now. ...... Take care everyone and have a great Friday!

I finished Todome No Kiss and it was really fun. I would have liked more scenes between Otaro and Saiko !

I can not wait to see Pretty Noona who buys me food >_<

As everybody seemed to be dying (or threatening to die) in all the things I was watching this week, I went in search of something light and fluffy and funny. And I found it! (I posted this on someone's fanwall as well but thought I'd mention it again)

I watched The Boy Next Door (on youtube) with Choi Woo Shik and Jang Ki Young. It’s a spoof kdrama (15 episodes of 5-6 minutes) and probably the funniest thing I’ve seen all year.

Basically it’s about two guys who – through a set of hilarious kdrama tropes – keep ending up in situations that makes everybody around them think they’re a gay couple. Hint: there’s a lot of falling over!

I laughed so much I scared my cat. And maybe the neighbours.
It was exactly what I needed. I even liked the ending.

Happy Friday~!

I haven't had a chance to watch any dramas lately. Life's just been busy and I haven't feeling well (curse you PMS). But I'm hoping this weekend will be better.

I want to check out The Great Seducer but I've heard it's a mixed bag. Still need to catch up on Evergreen/That Man Oh Soo and I also want to start watching Waikiki. I also saw the teasers for Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food. Can't wait for that.

Overall, I guess this just wasn't a great week and I wish it was better. Also the snowstorms New England keeps getting aren't helping me get into the spring mood. -_-

Why am I disappointed with the second season of Mystery Queen 2? Is it the directing? It doesn't feel quirky enough. Maybe it's the music that becomes super-ultra-mega dramatic and not at all fun in intense situations. Maybe I want all of the old cast back. The cases and sleuthing don't feel as engaging and I want more subtle romance! Maybe it'll be more fun to marathon this show instead of watching it live. That's how I watched the first season.

My first OT post ever! Putting lurking on hold to gush about Misaeng: I started watching it only recently and now I'm wondering why I took so long to begin! I've just finished Ep 19, and now I'm torn - I want to watch the next episode ASAP, but I also don't want to say goodbye to this gem of a show:( Things I will definitely miss about Misaeng: the /very/ reluctant friendship that blossomed between my favourite bunch of newbies, loyal teddy bear Dong Shik, Chief Chun and how he adorably became one of Geu Rae's biggest fans, my newfound idol Deputy Director Sun, and of course everyone's favourite Chief Oh ❤ Maybe I'll post my favourite scenes on the fan wall to fill in the empty spot in my heart that Misaeng will leave behind - that's if real life doesn't interfere. Happy Friday beanies, enjoy the weekend:)

It took me years to get but i'm now only watching j-drama and enjoying it so much that i don't feel the need to think about k-drama more than to check news once a while to keep track on possible sequels of my favourites!
Really those jdrama that i finished lately blew my mind with their non compromising ending which can be quite bittersweet to say the least.
I loved:
Cold case
Kazokugari
Namonaki Doku
Petero no Souretsu

Bonus point for Akutou ~ Juuhanzai Sousahan, which didn't level up to my expectations but delivered attractive characters despite their flaws.

Currently watching:
Yakou Kanransha
Yami no Bansosha
Todome no Kiss
Anone
I'm halfway trough the first episode for all those last dramas.

Strange how after years of watching only k-drama without much thinking about other asian productions, i feel like i've finally reached a place with J-drama where i can really find easily what suits my tastes the best.
