I didn't watched a lot of dramas this week, Christmas and Witcher took most of my time but I was extremly pleased with VIP finale, the writers didn't gave us convulted happy ending but very toughtful conclusion to characters journey, and shout out to all the wonderful ladies and actresses who portrayed them masterfully. NEVER TWICE, it's my weekly happy pill altough I FF most of it to Beakha and HaeJun scenes, they are so cute togheter, that I want ship the actors in real life or have them paired over and over in future projects.

Thank you Beanies for recommending me this new drama Azzo and Smooth Phone Number Guy. It is soooo cuuuute... I'm melting 😊💕
Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well... and will episode 8 give us what it usually gives? 😄

The rest...
Prosecutors - I loved episode 3 and how we got the pieces of the full story by following different characters... but then episode 4 changed the tone and storytelling and I'm not sure I was ready for that.

I finally caught up with People with Flaws and I still like it (and still think it is better than Chocolate 😀). I especially like the childhood connection here, ha, because it actually makes sense and is quite a reason why I think their relationship can work (and how cuuuute is young Kang Woo 😍). I also like the current Bodyguard and Rich Heiress story 🙂
(The only thing I don't like is THE ACCIDENT. Hope they will solve it well.)

Still having fun with Crash Landing (that reward ceremony 😂😂) and all those cheesy and totally improbable scenes (*cough* paragliding while holding each other *cough*). Let me recall, this writer already wrote a cheesy drama about an alien and a cheesy drama about a mermaid... and now we are having a cheesy drama about a super cute North Korean soldier. Yep, fits the bill 😀

Crash Landing on You:
--- Watching for the Comedy part 😂

Chocolate:
--- Not sure why but Ha Ji Won's acting and/or character is not doing it for me. I am actually waiting more for how the cousins' story will play out.

These 2 dramas seem to be banking more on the actors/actresses rather than the plots.

There's nothing new or (dare I say) creative with the stories ... But hey, they are ok breaks for me while waiting for the next drama that will blow my mind.

2020 be good 🤞

VIP I liked the way the affair was treated. I think it was well balanced between the both sides and not too dramatic. But I was more invested in the other women stories :)

Diary of a Prosecutor I'm not sure about it for now. The characters are not specially compelling, the investigations neither and the way they do their work lacks professionalism. I understand it's for a humor touch but I don't really laugh...

Black Dog I love this one! It's very frustrating but in the same time it's very satisfying to see the team stick together.

Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life I don't know how many times I thought Chung Ah should borrow a little bit of the courage of Eun Danoh and kiss Joon Hwi and not just wait for him to take action.

No Second Chances Na Hae Joon is the cutest! His love for Yulmo who isn't his son is very touching.

Stove League I'm learning a lot of things about baseball (that I will forget as soon as the drama is over) but it's really interesting. I would like Seung Soo to melt a little bit faster :p

Chocolate The title should be "How to deal death"... Too many heartbroken stories and not enough chocolate!

Crash Landing on You It's a fun drama. I like how it's a typical Kdrama with a lot of famous tropes. It's well balanced and the acting is good so it's not too cringey.

You and I on The G String I really liked the bold honesty of this trio. It was refreshing.

No drama watch this week.

*cries into the abyss*

But..but..but.....

My SSR update radar got info that he'll be the MC of an upcoming musical program! And he might return with a new drama next year....with Ha Sun omma, Eugene! Liar Game and 3 Dad 1 Mum feeeeellllsss~ 🎭👶🏻

*hoping for happiness and sunshine for SSR in his 2020 drama(s)...no killing revenge please*

What I hope to watch in 2020:

I am still watching No Second Chances for Kwak Dong-Yeon, but I am always one episode behind before the new episodes air. Sunday and next week will be a lot busier, so I am not sure that I will finish 16,17 and 18 before next Saturday arrives.

If everything goes according to plan, my friend and I will watch the last episode of Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung tonight and I will get my sixth bean before 2020 starts.

Watching K-dramas together used to be a guarantee that I would not simply fangirl about a K-drama, but also actually watch it. The disadvantage of this arrangement? My friend only has time for one episode a week at the most, so it takes a while to finish K-dramas together.

Since I became more active on Dramabeans this year, I have been spending more time interacting with Beanies and watching a lot more episodes than I used to. Now I plan on keeping up with Beanies and catching up on airing K-dramas as much as possible to increase my bean count.

To respect our habits, we have decided to only watch completed K-dramas together from 2020 onwards. No matter how often some classics are suggested, I would never press play by myself. Now we can discover them together. We are kicking off 2020 with Coffee Prince!

CRASH LANDING ON YOU: @missvictrix echoes my feelings. The “quintessential K-drama-ness” is exactly what I like about it. It’s great to have all these edgy innovative dramas (or that try to be), but sometimes I just want comfort food, with tried and tested trope-filled recipes.

I’ve put STOVE LEAGUE on the back burner until I have more episodes to binge. It’s still hard for me to get Namgoong Min’s mysterious low-energy character. I like him more in outgoing roles.

And that’s all! See you in 2020 Beanies! 🌟

got some time off from work, so trying to catch up on watching some dramas...currently, watching:
chocolate - so good
crash landing on you - it's got some funny bits
stove league - i watched the first 4 episodes back to back and thoroughly enjoyed it
War of Prosecutors: literally started watching the moment i read the first episode recap here on DB and i was not disappointed...such a good beginning to a show:-)
Ashes of Love: cdrama...so i tried not to watch another one of these, but still fell for it LOL, i mean it's such a commitment to begin, these shows are so long, lots of complicated back story and side characters...anyways, for me it's not as engrossing as Longest Day or Untamed, but some parts are cute...though i wish i knew about the love triangle before i started watching this show, next time i will do some review reading before starting these long shows:-)

After a slump, I’m now drowning in dramas that air on the weekend. The best of course, is No Second Chances. Are you watching? If not you should be, because this OTP is about the sweetest thing that’s happened this year. Don’t believe me? Well, there was subterfuge that involved an elf, a very smitten male lead stuffing a box with sticky notes, and the “winning” of a much needed stroller. Seriously, the only thing that was more adorable was the stroller driving lessons he wanted to give despite never having pushed a stroller in his life. I know angst is coming because it is a weekender after all, but somehow I think this one is going to do it right.

Next we have Chocolate. I swear that Grandma is the most evil character I have ever seen. Hannibal Lector, himself, would be appalled at her happily eating dinner and chatting with her family while Kang’s mom is dying under the rubble of the collapsed mall. There are some major issues with the pacing and storytelling of this drama, Cha-young’s brother is beyond annoying, and the hospice director is unbelievably unprofessionally emotional in front of patients and their families, yet, I’m still watching. Sometimes you hurt yourself to mask the real pain.

Then there is Crash Landing on You. Is it silly and kind of dumb? Yes. But you know, sometimes you want to watch or read something and not have to think. This is my brainless watch, and I’m unapologetically enjoying it. Besides, we learned that Hyun Bin literally can defy the law of gravity. Also, kdrama-loving North Korean soldier is a Beanie at heart, and hopefully someday he will be able to log in and spam the fan wall.

I am still watching Stove League, but I’m a little behind. This drama isn’t quite what I expected, and I hope that continues. Namgoong Min is giving a decidedly mysterious and slightly creepy vibe to this role, (wait, does he always do that?) so I’m intrigued enough to continue watching despite my utter lack of any cares for baseball. Also, after the disaster that Ghost Detective became in its back half, for Park Eun-bin’s sake, I hope this one maintains some semblance of logic and sanity. Speaking of which, what is Choi Daniel up to these days? Anything where he has his glasses and a nice suit?

I also want to watch Black Dog; however, time and attention span are working against this want. But I will watch it because the first episode was very, very good.

VIP: It ended well. The happy endings that should've happened did. There was growth and everything ended well. I enjoyed the female characters in this as much as Search Query. They were whole and well rounded. My favorites were Mi Na and Hyuna. I love love that Mi Na moved out to protect her sanity and that her husband realized eventually that he was taking advantage of her. Also the best and healthiest kdrama ship occurred, Hyuna and Jin Ho, so Huzzah.

Diary of a Prosecutor: A very character driven show with some mystery underneath. I like it.

Black Dog: Seo Hyun Jin. She is such a FREAKING talent. Her utter earnestness in this drama is both a study in character and heartbreaking. She is smart but so very human, so she makes mistakes, but she works everyday to improve. This drama is looking to be my favorite drama to end the year.

9.9 Billion Won: We are at the half way mark. Seo Yeon's spine has sturdied and strengthened. Although she has a crush on our resident disgraced cop Tae Woo for his kindness to her, she is willing to keep him as a sweet moment in her turbulent past in order to get away. The fact that it won't happen because, plot, doesn't make me want her to leave any less. In Pyo is a scary scary man, made more so by the fact that he is the card no one thinks is coming except that halmoni. Here is hoping for an equally excited back half.

Stove League: This is great. I love love the intricate look at hope baseball is played in Korea. The only suspension of belief I have is that you can just study baseball from stats and books and be this brilliant GM. That being said, the show is incredibly entertaining and I hope there is no romance between our leads.

Chocolate: Sigh, I hope the romance will finally start with our leads.

Black Dog (Episode 3-4)
Poor Ji Sun! I do hope we do get to see her again at a better school environment without teachers like Song. Unless it’s a major red herring, the six-year old short-term teacher is clearly the whistleblower who might have a vendetta against Ha Neul’s uncle (possibly blaming him for the terrible conditions of short-term teachers at the school) and is using her for revenge. I did have a side-eye as to how easily Teacher Kim converted from a self-serving aggressor to a harmless loudspeaker, but maybe she might be a chaotic good who might just become an unexpected ally to Ha Neul. We’ll see.

Diary of a Prosecutor (Episode 3-4)
I really like how the show portrayed the flaws of the two main leads: both Sun Woong’s idealism as well as Myung Joo’s aloofness contributed to the factory worker committing an accidental murder of the CEO. It was also highlighted where the other prosecutors fell short: Min Ho pushing the task of resolving the conflict between the leads to Jong Hak (later on he did step up though), Jong Hak bottling up his stomach pain until it was too late, Yoon Jin falling prey to emotions and Jung Woo being distracted by his date. I wonder how they will work together as one unit in next week’s procedural.

Chocolate (Episode 7-8)
Amidst the procedural stories coming to an end with deaths and betrayals, I couldn’t seem to find any movement in the story with regards to the main characters other than more crying and emotional monologues. The story has slowed too much in the past two weeks after the introduction and this is often a tell-tale sign of dragging by the writer, who might not have much plot after all and had to save some for the second half. The preview is also looking rather ominous after it seemed like Jun and Cha Young would have been nice friends: she’s now the battleground between the two brothers.

Psychopath Diary (Episode 11-12)
It’s just so weird to see how the show constantly undermines its own serious moments with comedy: the way the prison scenes were edited you might have thought that this was some criminals parody. But it clearly isn’t given In Woo’s arc: his face is a little bit hard to read after his conversation with his father and I can’t tell if he’s happy that the company is his or if he’s angry that his little secret (which must have been some escape for him from his family) is now exposed to his equally psychopathic father. The leads are as dumb as the writer requires them to be so I’ve no comments for that.

It's been a looong time since the last time I posted comment on DB.. 2019 was a hard year for me, I have only watched less than 5 k-dramas this year and more j-dramas on my list.. It's sadden me that Dramabeans feels like an unfamiliar place to me now (˘･_･˘)

I hope 2020 will be a brighter year for me (and for Beanies too). It's an early greetings, have a happy new year everyone (＾∇＾)ﾉ♪

Counting down the hours until Never Twice airs this weekend! Episodes 15 and 16 were so heartwarming to watch, I'm feeling a little nervous about the upcoming angst. I actually think this show would do well with a time skip, because I feel like bakha needs time to mourn her husband and open her self to find love again.

Also watching Perfume which I didn't get to live watch this year.I'm enjoying it a lot, SSR is great as always but Jae-seok and Won-hee are amazing. Intrigued to find out what will happen when the perfume runs out. I don't care for Min -Seok, hopefully the drama reveals why his character is needed soon.

Checked out 1st ep of Psychopath diary and it is hilarious! Hoping to catch up slowly and join in with the recaps.

Crash Landing - I need to catch up from Ep 2.

Diary of a Prosecutor : Absolutely in love with it and how our ensemble of prosecutors aren't heroes or anything - they're just normal, flawed people doing their jobs as best they know how. Episode 3 was sidesplittingly hilarious and while episode 4 was tense and heartbreaking. We're getting both the ups and downs of the job.

Chocolate: I agree with tccolb's assessment about the drama" giving space for sadness while also celebrating the life that was lived". They avoid doing the usual kdrama funerals. The drama does feel like a simple piece of chocolate in the middle of a tough day. While it doesn't have enough to be a real meal, it is great momentary reprieve.

Psychopath's Diary: Dong-shik's at the worst point in his life ever, and I'm laughing at all the misunderstandings and the absurdity. Dong-shik is such a dummy and is making so many bad decisions, but I can't help but root for him. Yoon Shi Yoon is playing him wonderfully. There aren't that many goofy male lead roles in kdramas so it's refreshing here. I'm scared that In-woo will find out that Bo Kyung is taking a closer look at this case.

Instead of Tipsy, why not get drunk: most of the way through this 25-episode modern C-drama. So much better and so much more alcohol than I had anticipated. OTP was adorable. Everyone had super tastebuds.The writer did not turn the charismatic and gorgeous 2nd female lead into some crazy obsessive psycho, and she had her own romance. 2nd male lead was both a terrible person who should be jailed and strangely likable at the same time. The main lead does have a psycho obsessive childhood friend after him but she only shows up for about 10 episodes.

I finished JUST BETWEEN LOVERS, and my heart is full. So beautiful. I may post more thoughts on my wall sometime if I get them organized.

Next up: WHITE CHRISTMAS. I have a feeling this is not going to be holly or jolly, but Christmas is in the title so I might as well watch it in December, right?

I have started watching most of the ongoing dramas and a few completed ones but I dropped a few to be picked up later perhaps. The ones that keep me glued each week are:
1. NEVER TWICE/NO SECOND CHANCES - for the not-yet-family of Yeul Mul, Baek Ha and Hae Jun; for the two main leads caring for each other without realizing it. I, however, turn away from the screen during scenes of the daughters-in-law and the gold diggers.
2. CRASH LANDING ON YOU - I 💓 The Captain and his gang; not so enamored with the LL because she's such a liability at this point. The story about the dead brother seems full of intrigue and mystery and something to look forward to. Not to mention HB being such an eye candy even at his age.
3. BLACK DOG - Misaengish vibe, exceot that I find the story more coherent. Will see how it develops. So far I remain interested.
4. STOVE LEAGUE - still at tge stage of character intros. I hope for some good BB actions later.
5. DIARY OF A PROSECUTOR - Lee Seon Kwoon is such a good actor, with a sexy voice and sexier walk, such combo is seadly for me. Show has a lot of interesting characters and a really effective conflict has been introduced early on. Can't wait for the next episodes.
2019 has been a good year.

Crash Landing on You: 8.5

Stove League: 7.5

Queen: Love And War: 7.0

Diary of a Prosecutor: 6.5 Almost a good show, but the FL is too obnoxious and unpleasant to watch.

Black Dog: 5.0 Too slow and depressing for my taste. Only lasted 10 min into day 3.

Veronica Mars: 9.5 Season 2 rewatch.

9.9 BILLION WON WOMAN: Adding new characters to stretch the money case shell game to 32 episodes is going to be a lot of filler, since evil Hee-Joo is going to have cases very soon. The show could have ended with Seo-Yeon leaving for Tahiti, with or without the money.
BEAUTIFUL LOVE, WONDERFUL LIFE: Too much time is on the older sister's love/stalker triangle than the main OTP.
HOT STOVE LEAGUE: It is a very well written, accurate drama. I compare Min's approach as GM as if Mr. Spock was running your hometown baseball team.
CHOCOLATE: The image of little, happy Ji-Yong in his space suit will linger in our minds for a long time. Even though he only had a few scenes, he was one of the best child actors in a banner year for child drama performances.
CRASH LANDING ON YOU: The opposite of Hot Stove: it is a very poorly written, inaccurate fantasy which every fact and circumstance has to have viewers suspend belief; but it is watchable for the good performances of the leads.It is like mindlessly eating a bag of candy. The one bothersome point is the writer's superficial treatment of SYJ's character's suicide thoughts (perhaps I am sensitive to the issue after a harsh 2019 in K-entertainment).

I had planned on watching new dramas during the holiday break, but that didn't happen yet.

VIP - This was a well-written, realistic drama from beginning to end. It would be tough to rewatch it though. I needed some time to gather my thoughts right after watching the finale, but I wrote my comments in the review thread. Jang Nara was particularly excellent here. The secondary couples’ stories were also satisfying.

9.9 Billion Won Woman EP 13-14 - Omg, I’m really liking the leads together! I wish more people was watching this. The suspense is fantastic and the plot isn’t too predictable. Multiple ambiguous characters. So good to see Kim Kang Woo again (his last drama I watched was in 2017). I went into this show for the thriller and mystery aspect. I didn’t immediately ship Seo Yeon and Tae Woo together, but the drama has clearly hinted at romance. And now I'm all for it.

I am watching and enjoying the last sageuk of the year TV Chosun’s QUEEN: LOVE AND WAR (available on Viki). I believe the ratings are decent and it will find its audience as did GRAND PRINCE.

I feel like there are more dramas I mean to watch than am actually watching. I hope to catch up on the currently airing dramas as it makes it easier to watch and still fit in already finished dramas.
Especially now that I have the Dramas over Flowers crew's list of dramas from the last decade.

It makes me happy to see Coffee Prince and Just Between Lovers mentioned here because I loved them both so.

Chocolate: it feels like the last episode was maybe a turning point, that the time for healing may be near. The ep just felt lighter overall. I do think Kang and Joon still have a ways to go. It's like the I infection from that family is still there, in both of them and their relationship, they need to clean that out before it can get better.
It is weird to watch it when it is overcast and cold here but looks sweltering there.

Crash Landing: I've only completed the first two eps...need to catch up. It's bright, fun, and the actors shine. So far the logic holes do not bother me, I feel like it fits within this world.

Never Twice: I gave in to the power of Beanies. How to resist a chubby cheeked, fluffy haired (seriouslyhis hair!), smiling baby and that handsome man? But then discovered that adorable baby's tough mama is the heart of the show.

Tharntype: I miss you, you wonderful mixed up boys.

I've been reading more lately and have 2 books I hope to get to this next week or so. The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller is a historical with a prickly heroine, a sweet hero, and a possible haunted house that needs to be remodeled. Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim is a fantasy about a girl who disguises as a boy to avoid marriage and become a tailor, but must compete in a challenge to make dresses from the sun, moon, and stars. The cover is gorgeous.

1. Black Dog: I am just loving the female lead in this one. I just love how she is trying to do her best despite the struggles she is facing. The drama is extremely enjoyable to watch and is now my new obsession. The last three episodes made me put this in first. This drama just becomes better and better.

2. Crash Landing on You: This drama is so fun to watch. I don't mind the tropes at all. I am loving the female lead in this one too. The ducklings are so fun to watch. The drama watching one is absolutely hilarious. Overall this drama hasn't disappointed me once.

3. Stove League: I am really enjoying this drama. From episodes 2 to 4 since there is no recap had to rewatched scenes often to get what was going on but I actually understood everything because of that. Infact for episode five I had to rewatch only two scenes, 2-3 times and yet I managed to understand everything. So I think I am getting the hang of it. But I still wish people could discuss it more. I hope I am making sense.

4. Psychopath Diary: I can't help but laugh at what Dong Shik does even as I try not to. But I am fully rooting for him. This show is absolutely over the top ridiculous at times yet it's fun to watch. Poor guy thinks he killed someone but actually hasn't, tries to tell everyone he is not a good guy but no one believes him, goes to jail, is told he didn't kill anyone not even by mistake but can't believe it and then finally does all in just two episodes. Despite few of my problems with Bo Kyung I actually love how she finds everything out. Also about In Woo, father and son are so messed up. I hate how In Woo ends up manipulating Dong Shik. I just can't wait for him to get caught.

5. Chocolate: I was so sad about Ji Young, it actually felt manipulative. So I am glad episode 9 does not have any deaths. Kang's expressions were so hilarious. Also Tae Hyun is so annoying. I didn't mind Joon this episode. This episode had lots of funny moments. It felt different than the other episodes but in a good way. But I absolutely despise the Grandmother.

6. Diary of a Prosecutor: I guess out of the four episodes I liked the second one most. I actually found myself getting bored while watching parts of episode 4. I am not saying it's bad but I don't know...

VIP: 9,5/10. A beautiful drama, realistic and unpredictable. I loved that all the characters were deeply human and I liked very much the ending.

30 BUT 17: 7,5/10. A lovely drama. I loved that "family" in which everyone loved and supported the others. The way Seo-ri handled her tragedy was brave and smart. The second part was the best, and for the first time in my life, I cried watching a TV series.

CRASH LANDING: I know the paragliding was silly, but this drama has something that gets me hooked. Actually, I can't wait for the end of the day to watch the new episode.

Mandolorian: I am sad Quill and robot died. But, very happy now that Baby Yoda now have Mandolorian father. I can not wait to see Season 2. great news it will be on Fall 2020.

I am beginning to watch Crash Landing to You a few minutes of first episode. I am not impressed yet.

I am still watching Chinese dramas as so far I am loving it. Have great weekend everyone.

Diary of a Prosecutor: Pure goodness~

Black Dog: It keeps getting better, and I'm glued to my screen, but I hope the students become a little involved in the plot.

Crash Landing of Love: The characters are great, I just wish it made sense. Or at least tried. Or was a little more researched?

Hiiiiiiiiii!
#VIP: I just finished it and I don't really know how I feel about the last episode, but the Sang-Woo scene warmed my heart a lil. This drama definitely misled me like no other has done for sometime now.

#KAKAFUKAKA: My first Japanese drama (yay!). So it's basically a 10ep drama about this writer who has writers block and is living in a sharehouse, couldn't get his thingy up and then his highschool ex girlfriend waltzed into the picture and...drama happened

#PRINCESSSILVER: Best drama I've watched 2019, anything I say will be a spoiler, so...

#JOYOFLIFE: Yass! I am feeling this drama! This drama is contenting for the best-spot this year, but I'm holding the verdict till I finish it.
Happy holidays 😘😘

I'm loving Chocolate (and really craving some) more and more. Especially after having finished the last episode (ep.10), I told myself that the reason I'm enjoying this immensely is because the main plot of the story lies in how to deal with death gracefully and meaningfully. In the (hospice) world that no one things about competing and extending helping hands is considered normal, good things blossom and flourish.

The things that always catch my attention are the FL's cooking scenes. I somehow find the way she cooks so serene and almost sacred. For romance, I'll just hope that none of the leads dies in the end. Please don't let me down on this one.

P.S. I cried buckets for ep.10.

Crash landing on You: This drama is like a big whole heart filled with LOVE. I am enjoying this show so far. The cute , funny and sweet scenes between Jung Hyuk and Se-ri and the ducklings meetings.

Stove League: When i think the show is going to that normal path, the show takes a surprise turn and i am left dumbfounded. The show has a mysterious pull to it and we cannot fathom what is going to happen next. Good to see the Dream's GM as a such a smart and meticulous guy. His points are so valid in each argument that he puts forward.

Chocolate: The very slow drama, but which i love to enjoy and savour each and every tiny moment of this special piece.I normally watch this drama when i actually have some really good free time, because i dont wanna rush while watching this show. Every small detail holds so many emotions and i keep wanting them more and more. The writers have given a good name to this drama. Savour the drama like rich dark chocolate.

My son came home for the entirety of Christmas week, and wanted to watch PEGASUS MARKET so we have just watched the entire show again. There are rumors of a spin-off or a second season.

My wife and I continue to watch PEOPLE WITH FLAWS- which is very good- and STOVE LEAGUE- and subtitles are taking a while on both shows. STOVE LEAGUE has just presented us with a caricature of a conniving sports agent- the pond scum of professional sports (or so we like to believe). STOVE LEAGUE is really well done.

With our son still here until Monday we decided to start another classic: DEAR FAIR LADY KONG SHIM (aka BEAUTIFUL GONG SHIM). It is a fun show.

Non-Korean Dramas

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN: THE SERIES: Hoping there will be more of a focus on the second couple now. Also, I’m really hoping that this will end with a HEA, because I could totally see this drama ending with a tragedy and the final scene being the meeting of the newly reincarnated Dean and Pharm. (ep. 7-8)

Now that I both picked up and dropped Crash Landing On You and am still waiting three flipping weeks for the final episode of TharnType (why, Thailand, WHY?), I'm living drama free.

I am finishing up the final season of Mr Robot but am now scouting around for a new show.

After we released our poll results (http://invisibledragon.home.blog/2019/12/28/2019-in-kdrama-the-poll-results/) and my end of year piece on pot plants got published, I realised I need to watch:
Be Melodramatic,
Secret Boutique,
Rookie Historian,
Pegasus Market and
Spring Turns to Spring.

That should keep me a little busy...

Live ep 17. I am always so scared something bad will happen to any of our patrol officers!
This drama is gold, but somehow, so sad... I am and am not excited that it will end (at least me watching)'

Wishlist:

- diary of a prosecutor
- no second chances
- yong gu grocery store
- 9.9 million woman

Crash Landing On You - ep 3 and 4 continue to be a delight. There’s some cheesy animations work but it’s ok. I can overlook. Se Ri is just so cute. I love the awards presentation. Hahaha. And I kinda love the epilogue at the end. Kinda waiting for it each time.

Chocolate - as of now, I’m watching this purely for the visually pleasing scenes.

Be Melodramatic - Successfully binge-watched. What a delight! Everything resonates deeply within myself. I care about every single character. Lots of heart warming moments, lots of love, lots of life. Love all the meta references and their ability to poke funs at dramas, PPL and everything that goes behind making a drama. Drama within a drama. Too bad it doesn’t receive the ratings it deserved while the show aired. But I guess the drama maker knows that as well because they too, did poke fun at drama ratings. 🤭 best girl friends in dramaverse. Be Melodramatic is gonna be one of those dramas that I will treasure for as long as I love watching dramas.

Never Twice is the flavor of the week for me, but I'll be caught up soon. Will start Stove League when that happens, but will be breaking a self-imposed rule of only 1 live watch at a time.
All the love for Coffee Prince is pulling me toward a rewatch, but I also promised myself a rewatch of Hwayugi soon (I know, I know, but I really liked it!). I loved the OST - 3 songs are on my Kdrama OST playlist, and whenever I hear them, especially Let Me Out. After I finished Little Forest (tv show, not movie) in the fall, I wanted to see Seung Gi in full-on action mode (in a fur coat no less). I'm kind of afraid to watch, though, since the flaws might be more apparent the second time around.
Going to try and stay on top of sewing projects in 2020. Shouldn't interfere with kdrama watching, since I don't sew after 7:30 p.m. It's so easy to make a big mistake when I'm mentally tired.
