Men are men: Confession, I’m a big Hwang Jung Eum fan. The screeching doesn’t bother me as much it does other people. I will say though, that she is much better at drama than she is rom coms, but I enjoy her most of her dramas. I enjoyed the first couple episodes of this. The premise is fun, she isn’t some kind of push-over. I also really like the past lives aspect. As for the gay part, SIGH, it is mostly annoying, but I hope they resolve it quickly.

Will have dinner with me? : We had just gotten past the annoying exes. We had a couple of really hot hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 moments. The cute and the chemistry was back. Then BANG, the kdrama vehicle of doom strikes and the mentally ill ex strikes. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? UGHDSIFASFIFEAWI

The Good Detective: This was a solid beginning. I enjoyed it. We seem to be working with good cops here. As for our very very rich detective, hmmm, what is his deal, he is obviously there for a reason. I wonder what it is?

My unfamiliar Family: Those fake-outs, well played show, well played. I was excited. That is all I have. Everyone else said everything on the recap page.

Memorials: Huzzah, she won. Now the work begins. I think it is cute that they worried about each other. I love how open her character is. I laughed out loud when she was about to question the stupid rule about whoever being older wins. I hope it continues in this cute manner.

Train: I’ll check it out. Although Yoon Shi Yoon is better in dramas where smiles that beautiful happy smile of his, I’ll see if I like it. I never watched Eternal King so have no parallel universe trauma. Lol😅

It’s Okay Not to Be Okay: I cannot wait to watch this week’s episodes!!!

Last week I was WiFi-less so I couldn’t catch some shows until last Sunday.

Oh my baby. I didn’t like the last four episodes. I think the infertility issue was not treated properly in the drama, as for what HaRi was concerned. I loved the first part of the drama and as it was my first Jang Nara drama, I will always have a good memory of it, but the ending wasn’t what I expected at all.

It’s Okay not to be Okay. We’re on episode 6 and it’s Wow all the time.

My unfamiliar family. I should bring this family to my dad’s house, they all would have a stroke when they hear how we talk and laugh about anything while we are having a meal. Apart from that, I’m absolutely in love with the acting in this drama. Top 10. Characters show so many layers and actors are nailing it. Just one more thing: more maknae, please!!

Will you have dinner with me. After being praying for a ToD for the last 8 episodes, I got one, but wrong victim. Show, I’m really tired to say I’m tired of the exes…

Men are men. I wanted to check because I was really impressed with Yoon Hyun Min in My Holo Love. I enjoyed the premier: I laughed and I’m intrigued about the past story.

The Good Detective. While I’m craving for Stranger 2, I decided to give it a try to this one, mainly because of Lee Elijah. I liked the premiere so far, don’t know if I’m going to stick to it, but I’ll be watching next week. It partly seems like something I’ve already seen, but also different. I only hope there’s no religious cult involved, please. I’ll have enough with the prosecutors - politics - police conspiracy, thank you!

Memorials. I’ve only watched episode one because Viki subs don’t seem to advance. They have to change their policies, because for instance, you get the whole English subs of MUF in less than 12 hours, but it’s been more than a week and this drama doesn’t even have episode 1 at 100%.

Still catching up with Perfume and The Producers (every Monday I feel I’m not having enough Kim Soo Hyun). I’ve added Healer to the list. It’s my first time watching it and I’m enjoying it a lot.

It's Okay Not To Be Okay: Look forward to it every week. I like the build-up of the relationship. No instalove and one of the rare times a childhood connection doesn't bug me. The actress is getting an opportunity to really show her stuff and is killing it.

All The Men I Loved Before: It has another name as well but this is what I know it by. Not overly fond of the love triangle but, let's face it, that trope isn't going anywhere. Anyway, a solid start and the reincarnation twist has me interested.

Khondae Intern: I'm jumping back into this one. I like the bromance and some of the story arcs. I just can't get that interested in some of the corporate politics.

Terrius, Behind Me: So I actually signed up for Kocowa back in the day because I wanted to keep watching this show which was a Dramafever victim. And then I stalled on it. Really this just needed to be more of an updated Scarecrow and Mrs. King maybe with them all helping out the neighborhood friends and whatnot. The last 4 episodes which I finally finished up - and I mean ff a lot - interested me not at all but had to see how it ended. SJS with cute little kids, you bet. But the standard who is the bad guy in the organization is a yawn. Since I just finished Good Casting, I notice the same flaws in that drama as well though TBM was fun in the first 10 or so episodes.

My teenage daughter told me a friend recommended 365 Days on Netflix. I checked it out first because of the mature label. What the heck!? It makes 50 Shades of Gray look like Jane Austen.

CRICKET - England vs. West Indies. Test Match. Rainy day adds to frustration. But next 2 days of play was awesome. This is why Test Cricket is real cricket.
T20 and ODI are good for a world cup but Test cricket is best cricket.

OREGAIRU - OP and ED released. As many say it was proper social commentary in 1st 5 volumes and then it became a proper love triangle and Harem was always there. Kdrama level drama angered western audience more.

Anime need to do more to make the audience happy.

JAPAN -

Kotaki Brother - 7.5 out of 10. Awesome show. One of the top show of 2020. You don't need beautiful white faces aka idols to ake a good show. A show is always known by its story and characters. This show is show of a common man. Highly enjoyed it.
This show has house husband
Female Gay
A NEET guy around 45
A job which is apt for modern world where everything is fast and no one has time or patience to listen what others have to say.

Hamabe Minami's show with Yokohama Ryusei gonna start airing soon.

Hamabe Minami and Kamiki Ryunosuke - 6/10 I was expecting much much more from the movie. Its time pass but that's just it. Quite predictable and doesn't have much humour. This movie is more like advertisement of roles Hamabe Plays. Kamiki is as usual.

Many Other shows have started airing now.

It's fine @missvictrix every post on this drama turns into a chan hyuk appreciation post... You are not alone!! 😜😜

Since my real life has become a makjang family weekender, I'm way way behind on My Unfamiliar Family and It's Okay to Not be Okay.

(And just now seeing those titles, and thinking of my real life, I might be laughing at how apt they both are. LOL)

So, are any of the new dramas just cracktastic fun because if there is one thing I need right now it's mindless fun. Please recommend something, anything, and it doesn't need to just be kdrama.

Police Academy Franchise: These movies are on my infamous movie list and they were neither excellent nor horrible in my opinion. A lot of that has to be credited to characters Larvell Jones, Moses Hightower and Laverne Hooks. They made their presence known in peculiar ways.📣

Reply 1994 (3/21): Haitai!❤️Samcheonpo had my respect as soon as he arrived in Seoul Station, how relatable and adorable!😂 Characters who are not related platonically living together and becoming a family in the process is a far-fetched catnip of mine, so I am absolutely digging the concept of college students living with a family. I see a lot of potential for fleshed out characters and character development, and I hope the show delivers in that aspect. I personally find Reply 1997 a bit lacking in that department, but that is probably because I prefer characters over plot.

Mori who stole the Beanie’s hearts (4/30): I refuse to call this K-drama by anything but its true title.🤣 Dragging myself through Gil-Dong’s childhood was a test to my sageuk rookie patience, and I’ll have to work with episode viewing milestones to distract myself from that number 30. However, I fully grasp the necessity of showing his youth and introducing his parents and siblings. I also trust in the good reviews from many Beanies back when it aired, and against my better judgement I decided to finally jump the Mori bandwagon. He will make his entrance in the next episode!😊

Memorials/Into The Ring: I am hoping to get some calm before the storm next week to squeeze in the aired episodes, but I have been telling myself that for nearly two weeks now, so I’ll have to wait and see.🤔

It is finally Saturday! It’s Okay to Not Be Okay has had me firmly in its grip since week 1, and therefore is the only thing I’m currently watching (because apparently when I get sucked into a show it’s the only thing I’m capable of watching regardless of the whole 5 days between eps). It’s influencing my art and my choice of nail polish and has me watching behind the scenes content that I normally wouldn’t. What is happening??

So…my apologies to When We Were Young 2018. I didn’t mean to abandon you; you’re really great. I’ll get back to you, I promise.

Will You Have Dinner With Me I decided to drop after the end of the last episode. I think we touch bottom...

The Good Detective I like both actors, not sure about the story yet.

My Unfamiliar Family This drama is the best! I agree with @missvictrix for Chan-Hyuk, I really like his style and his personality. I don't like how they fool us everytime by teasing us with EH-CH >_< It's the drama I except the most! Mondays are a good day :p

Memorials It's fun but I don't always understand the FL : is she really sincere or is only for money, her intentions are not very clear.

Was It Love I watched the first one, I usually like relationship between a single parent and his/her child. But the first episode was full of clichés and not really well filmed/acted.

Backstreet Rookie I need more SB and DH together.

It's Okay to Not Be Okay Still good :)

Besides my weekly kdrama fix of My Unfamiliar Family which remains excellent throughout, I watched two very different and highly recommended shows this week:

1. The first is the all-the-hype-in-the-world-is-not-enough-hype c-drama called The Bad Kids. AvenueX's excellent review (I'm yet to watch her annotations on the show, and will probably do that with a rewatch soon) of the show took me to iQiyi, which, to my pleasant surprise, has this available for free in my region, and without ads when I watch it on my computer/cast to the TV. It's a show that grabs you by the collar in the first two minutes, and keeps you on the edge of your seat all through. My eyes were popping out and I found myself gasping for breath mostly. Watch it for a taut, gritty, dark, controlled, superbly edited, thriller. There is murder, but hardly any gore, and the tension quotient is always high. The kids - oh, the kids - not too many shows succeed in getting children to act well, and here there are three as protagonists, each holding their own. I am savouring this slowly, but even halfway through, I can safely say this is one of the best thrillers out there, definitely THE best c-drama I have ever watched, and easily waltzes into my all-time top 10.

2. As a foil to this high tension thriller, I stumbled upon, and was enchanted by, an unusual tw-drama called I, Myself. A quiet, gentle, meandering, meditative and minimalist drama, it explores solitude and loneliness (in or outside relationships), carefully attempting to distinguish between the two. It is a brave theme for mainstream TV, and I wonder how it fared in real time. It resonated with me in more ways than one, and I wrote about it on my fanwall, if you want to know more (no spoilers, I promise!): https://www.dramabeans.com/members/pickleddragon/activity/1092312/

Oh, and I quickly dropped the very unsatisfactory Was it Love?. It was one of the weakest premieres I have ever watched. Seeing as they were mostly unknown actors to me, I came to this with an unbiased mind, but it was terrible and utterly avoidable all around.

MEN ARE MEN. It was better than I expected. HJE is playing a similar character to MPUB: sassy, independent but with kindness. The strong opening theme of career first, learn to love thyself, then find personal happiness is great unless the story pivots into a typical k-drama romance triangle (which is bound to happen). The dream flashbacks to prior lives is a set up for the creepy CEO to be compared to the puppy strange webtooner. I think HJE's parents may the show's scene stealers.
WAS IT LOVE? Also, opening was better than I expected. I thought SJH did OK portraying her character hitting bottom. I also thought the story moved along faster than normal as we get the surprising reveal of the father; the conflicted writer's motives; and the loan shark's change of heart based on SJH's daughter's kindness to her son. The daughter's story may be the most interesting plot line going forward.
ONCE AGAIN: At the half way point so things are starting to creep along like a sailboat that has lost the breeze. The main OTP are coming close to their true feelings, but in true K-drama fashion they cannot directly communicate to each other.
Variety:
HOW DO YOU PLAY? The ending cover song music video was the polished highlight of the show.
RUNNING MAN: 10th anniversary shows; still entertaining.
FUN RESTAURANT: Still cooking along.

Dinner Mate: the exes.......... i will watch the last 4 episode after eps 32 released because im so tired with the characters (except haekyung)

Memorials: i almost dont care about the politic plot but the lead couple is so cute together.

Its Okay Not To Be Okay: i loveeee the main couple :(((( i wanna see more of jealous KT

The Good Detective: i like it? maybe i really like it because i have zero expectation before watching

should i watch Men Are Men and Was It Love? im not in the mood for love triangle tho

Men are men: a solid premiere for me. I didn’t even feel the time watching this and I can already feel the chem between Hwang Jung Eum and Yoon hyun min. HJE always manages to have great chemistry with her co-stars and I’m not expecting any less here. I’ve always loved HJE’s unique acting style despite it not being everyone’s cup of tea and she doesn’t seem to be overdoing it here so I’m enjoying her performance. Strangely enough I feel like watching secret love which I’ve heard good things about but never watched, but it’s been taken off Netflix so now I have nowhere legal to watch it huhu

Dinner mate: I’m glad all the misunderstandings have been cleared up this week and we got Do Hee being there for Hae Kyung. I also want to praise Lee Ji Hoon for his exceptional performance! When will he get that lead role aargh!!!

Convenience store: I find myself returning each week, probably due to how much of a breezy watch it is and I quite enjoyed the cameos and references for fiery priest.

TWOGETHER: Lee Seungi and Jasper Liu are adorable and I seriously wish for a season 2

INTO THE RING: love it. Nana was always my girl crush when she was in After School but I always avoided her dramas because they either weren’t my cup of tea or I just wasn’t ready to possibly cringe at her if she was bad. I’m very pleased to say she’s nailing this role. Also am really glad Park Sung Hoon has landed a lead role, I forever remember him as the silently frustrated and cheeky secretary in Jealousy Incarnate.

Unfamiliar Family: I’m so impressed with the writing and acting. I just want to give Eun Joo a hug even though she’d never let me and knock some sense into Eun Hee and Chan Hyuk. I want Dad to keep wooing Miss Sook and not be sick lalalala.

Into the Ring: Fun. I love the direction.

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay: I love Yoo Seung-jae.

Graceful Friends: Great cast but I was pretty bored by the first episode. Didn’t like the look of it too much either.

Men are Men: Okay, but I hate Hwang Jung Eum’s hair. I also don’t see myself ever liking Yoon hyun min’s character.

Was It Love: I’m fine with a predictable rom-com but the acting was rather distracting at times. Song Ji Hyo was the weakest for me but even Son Ho Jun whom I normally like was bothering me.

The Good Detective: I like the atmosphere. I’m glad to see Jang Seung-jo and Lee Elijah in leading roles.

It’s Okay not to be Okay: I sold my soul to this show. I love it way too much. I didn’t want to say it fearing I will jinx it. But I feel good about the direction this show is heading.
Can’t wait for today’s episode.

Ancient Detective: Finally finished it. Really enjoyed the show. Good acting by the main actors with some amusing and adorable bromance. And the ending was very satisfactory. Recommend this cdrama.

Was it Love : I thought episode one was bland. Nothing captured my attention and everything felt familiar. Second episode was much better. I might continue this as it might be an easy stress free watch without too much thinking.

Was It Love (Episode 1-2)
IT’S FINALLY HERE! I was freaking hyped up for this show because of Song Ji Hyo, even if I expected not much from the reverse harem synopsis coupled with a director with not much experience in recent years (though he’s worked with her previously). I also know she isn’t the best actress by any means but I really love her chill Running Man persona which contrasts so much with other variety characters. So far, the writing shows nothing extraordinary with the Candy heroine getting rescued by the 4 heroes. I’m hoping against hope that Teacher is endgame because he’s freaking cute!

Men Are Men (Episode 1-4)
To quote the director: ‘The outcome might be different than what’s expected, so you will feel a good sense of betrayal.’ So does that mean that despite Ji Woo’s multi-fated connection to Hyun Joo, they won’t end up together in the end as the OTP? Ji Woo’s intentional ruining of Hyun Joo’s life totally rubs me the wrong way: she deserves to live out her own life as it is without your interference! What he did also drags Do Gyeom and Seo Yoon into this love square mess. Sigh, the things I’ll watch for Seo Ji Hoon, in spite of the alleged cheater who cheated with another alleged cheater.

My Unfamiliar Family (Episode 11-12)
I can’t say that many bad things about that cliffhanger because the show did sell itself as a makjang drama right from the offset with amnesia, but still it’s super frustrating that another medical issue is popping out right now just when the parents are finally out of the water from all the misunderstandings. Now that we’re at the three-quarters mark, it does look like Ji Woo won’t be getting development aside from a possible love line with Seo Young (meh). I’m super annoyed that Shin Jae Ha isn’t getting much to work with: he’s 27 and might leave for military soon! Has he done it yet?

It's Okay to Not Be Okay (Episode 5-6)
Seeing the love for Moon Young on the fan wall reminds me a lot of how Itaewon Class’s Yi Seo was received: I honestly don’t think it’s good that a ‘disorder’ means that these characters are given more leeway in their actions such as Yi Seo’s kiss without consent or Moon Young’s blatant kidnapping of Sang Tae. Both shows also have the male lead being saddled with pampering them on top of other responsibilities while the second female leads hassle them. I know love will cure Moon Young’s disorder since it isn’t hereditary, but Kang Tae / Sang Tae should have been the main story.

Also watching: Graceful Friends (Episode 1) / Memorials (Episode 5-8) / Will You Have Dinner With Me (Episode 25-28) / Backstreet Rookie (Episode 6-7)

Steadily watching My Unfamiliar Family this past week. I've been a passive observer, but things got a lot more interesting now. I'm still behind (on EP 10~!) I don't know if I ship Chan Hyuk and Eun Hee yet. I love their acting when we get to see their subtle reactions when the other one is being flirty. They have a good friendship dynamic. Sometimes she is so immature. The push and pull is realistic, but still frustrating.

The only other drama I'm watching is It's Okay to Not Be Okay. I'm loving it. There's just so many layers and details that I can't explain well, but enjoy while I'm watching the drama. The quick recap threads help immensely. By the time I wake up and see them, there are hundreds of comments though. XD I try to read most of the comments and by the time I'm finished, I usually don't have anything to add lol.

There were a lot of premieres this week, but I felt exhausted at the thought of starting a brand new drama. Probably not in the right mood. I guess once I'm caught up on MUF, I'll be more ready to start something else.

It's OK to Not ... Have Cash for a Motel: 8.6 And how much does the writer know about those kinds of motels? It's also OK not to cut off your wives' heads. Anyway, these people seem like a job for the Mystic Pop-up Bar crew. They could take care of things here in just a day or two.

Memorials / Into the Ring: 7.8 Mid-show doldrums starting day 4?

Men Are Men: 7.0 But one man seems jinxed. Problems in elevator and tent -- do not get in a airplane with that guy.

The Good Detective: Typical police/crime show, except there's nothing especially infuriating about it (yet), which frankly is not typical. It moves right along and has the right amount of surprises/humor/mystery so far to keep it interesting without being aggravating. Also Lee Elijah.

Questions for the week:
1: How long does it take for a head to decompose and how fast do you have to marry and behead wives to get that big collection of non-decomposed heads?
2: What's with the Korean fixation with Bluebeard? I keep seeing it mentioned in kdramas and I never seem to hear about it anywhere else.

Just watched Episode 7 of It's Okay to Not be Okay. Without spoiling the show, I just wonder who is the tormentor of Moon-yeong, her father, or her mother? Before that, I suspect it was her father, now I think it's her mother. The beginning and the end of this episode are both powerful in their own right, although the ending is not as emotional as the beginning. I am not crying in this show, but surely it is touching.

This is the show we really need now.

Currently watching:
It’s Okay not to be okay : Still loving it. It’s so beautiful. I have one question though, why Jae-soo is so devoted to Gang-tae? I think it’s good for Gang-tae for to have someone other than his brother but what’s in it for Jae-soo?
Men are men: I liked first two episodes. It’s intriguing. I don’t actually like HJE’s screeching but it does not stop me from enjoying her dramas. I am not sure what it is that keeps me coming back for her dramas. I am not fan of her but I end up watching or at least checking out her dramas.
Was it love : I love SJH’s variety show personality and I think it affects my ability to enjoy her characters in dramas. She has cool overall persona and I don’t enjoy her playing bullied and down on luck characters. It does not help that her acting does not allow me her to separate her from her variety persona.
Still it was decent premier and I will continue watching it.
Kind of watching /fast forwarding:
Song of glory : This show has lots of head scratching moments, plot holes but is quite fast paced. It does not give you much time to ponder over it’s short-comings. It helps that FML is quite badass assassin and uses her brain most of the time.
Dance of the sky empire : Xu kai is charming as always and his character has same roguish vibe as Gu Yanzhen.

This is one of those mornings that I'm just not in the mood:
Everything is boring. That includes the latest episode of "It's Okay to Not Be Okay". It's so boring my mind kept drifting off. And the last episode was so good.
Men are Men: I just can't finish the latest episode it's so boring.
Maybe it's because there's one drama I'm absolutely obsessed with right now because the relationship is so good and I've never seen such fantastic chemistry between the leads. But I'm not mentioning the name of the show because it might offend some...let's just say it is NOT The Untamed.
I'll try again later or tomorrow because I know how my moods run.

Love Love Love My Unfamiliar Family, especially Chan Hyuk.

Having gone through all the episodes that have been aired, I grew to love EJ and the person who portrayed this character. She has been doing a wonderful job. Kudo to everyone and the person portraying Eun Joo!

Got back to Hospital Playlist. Love the laid back tone of this. Even during hospital emergencies, compared to real life medicine, it’s laid back. It’s like reminiscing of a time before COVID19.

And a special engagement edition of STUCK ON YOU, on the Beanie wall! I made my whole week better—starting @azzo1 and Park Hae Jin with Park Shin Hye as cameos! Lol.

Mystic Pop Up Bar: This was way way way better than I expected. And everyone should watch episode 4, it is one of the best scripts/stories out there. That episode is on my top 5 of the best stories ever told.

My unfamiliar Family: I am trying. I havent watched any drama like this before, so it is a new territory for me.

Love Letter (J-Movie): it is cute.
The Beauty Inside (K movie): it was better than the series. I loved it. It was raining yesterday, so I fulled enjoyed.
On Your Wedding day (K movie): The height difference in this movie was hilarious. Great movie, great love story, I like ends like this.

Currently Airing

IT’S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY: I didn’t like this episode as much as episode 4 (which as been the highlight episode so far). I’m just too anxious to see what the end will be to really enjoy it, I guess. Curse my spoiler-seeking self. (ep. 5-6)

MEN ARE MEN: Really enjoyed the premiere episode! The unexpected fantasy element was a plus. Excited to see what happens next! (ep. 1-2)

Finished Airing

STRANGER: It was good, but this type of drama isn’t my style. I don’t really know how I’m going to be able to catch up before the new season airs. I know people love this. I just like thrillers. And even then, I’m still trying to find spoilers while I’m watching so I don’t have to wait to find out a big reveal. And I think doing that would ruin this drama watching experience. (ep. 1)

Happy weekend! Watched lots of dramas over the last 1-2 weeks.

Ancient Detective This drama flew under most peoples radar, which is a crime, but I've been meaning to watch it for awhile after @outofthisworld gushed about it. So I finally took the plunge and binge watched this within a couple days. I love this drama and was total crack. The cases themselves weren't anything special and since they relied on magical wuxia martial arts to solve most of them it was hard to guess who the culprits were. But the cases aren't what made this drama so great, it was the characters. I love them all, including the side characters. They were all likable and interesting. Jian Buzhi (who I've dubbed Tender Boy), Zhao Wohuan (Boyfriend), Zhan Shiqi (Girlfriend) and then later on Ye Xiaoxiao (4th Wheel) are what really make this drama so great. The relationships between them all is wonderful. Jian Buzhi and Wohuan have a healthy, loving bromance with each other and Jian and Shiqi a wonderful romance. I also love the reversal that the ML Jian doesn't know any martial arts so has his friend and lover are there to protect him. I've also become a fan of all the actors, especially Tim Yu the actor for Jian Buzhi, but heartbroken he has no upcoming dramas 😭 I'm also extremely heartbroken this drama wasn't popular enough to get a 2nd season despite it ending with the possibility of one (it ended very well and answered almost all the answers, but a scene at the very end opened up the possibility for another season).

My Girl (ep 12) I planned to watch 1 ep of this expecting to drop it and ended up binge watching what was out and eagerly awaiting new episodes to release. The characters are fun and quirky and due to the FL's mental health issue it makes the plot unpredictable. Throw in a mysterious 2ML and it makes a fun and entertaining watch.

Love a Lifetime (ep 6) The drama kinda threw you into the middle of it expecting you to know what was going on and who was who. So the first episodes are rocky and poorly done but it's starting to pick up and get interesting as information is finally being given to the viewer. The characters are also fun and playful which makes it entertaining.

Fake Princess Finished this over the weekend and really liked it. The characters and their romance were enjoyable and the plot was entertaining. Plus I love Eleanor.

Mr. Fox and Miss Rose This one was unique and fun. The ML was sweet and patient with the FL who was fun and interesting. I did struggle to watch the last few episodes (it should have been 24 episodes not 30) but was still a good and entertaining watch.

Men are men: love the story line. I just don’t understand why the main lead wants to get back with the female lead. I mean their romance as always being a failure in 3 different reincarnation.

Will you have dinner with me: At first I loved the drama, to the extent that I came back for more every Monday/Tuesday. But now I considered dropping it then I remembered it only has 2 episodes left. I am done. I could probably rewatch the first 7 episodes in a very far future.

Battle through heavens: I have no idea what made me try this drama out. I even got the dvd copy and I am regretting it. Money wasted and time wasted on my part. What kind of drama is that?

Was it love: I only watched the first episode and it failed to entice me. Would probably just read the recaps like I did to Eternal monarch( though I am yet to finish that one, only read like 5 episodes 😂)

House on wheels: I saw the recap here today and decided to try watching it, oh my! It was so funny 😂. Jin Goo was my favorite cast member, the poor guy finds it difficult to blend in with he other members and guest. Thank God for Lee sung kyung.

Encounter: I had fun re reading the recaps here. Brought back memories

I think that is it for now 😊

Happy weekend to all of you, I hope you are as well as can be considering all circumstances.

I have just watched episode 7 of "It's OK" and I broke down crying. Ten seconds before that I was thinking to myself "Well, this is the first episode that isn't as intense" and off I go. Wow, just wow.

Dinner Mates - Oh boy. They are so sizzling hot. And then at long last there is the long awaited car of doom and misses its target and instead hits one of the nicest, most decent male leads in a long time. We had a go-fund-me in the comment section and paid that driver good money. You had ONE JOB! I am exhausted.

Into The Ring - Slowly watching this in little chunks and I like it.

Hamilton - I watched this yesterday with a friend. Thank heavens for the subtitles. While it surely would be an unforgettable evening to watch live, this way we could take little breaks to make coffee and stretch out our brain cells a little before continuing. As it is my usual modus operandi, I silently wept along out of admiration and envy for the voices and abundance of talent of the performers on stage for 2 and half hours (I am psycho, but it's OK!).

Recently finished The Romance of Tiger and Rose and loved it....the chemistry was so great between the leads and loved all the comedy bits.

Currently watching My Husband in Law (thai) and LOVE it - it's a contract marriage type story (my guilty pleasure) between a grumpy architect and his childhood frenemy who has secretly loved him since their high school days. The chemistry is awesome!

Backstreet Rookie: I love-hate this show. The things that it's doing right they are really doing right. I love both leads and the second FL. These characters truly feel like people even with the crazy mixed in. They are exploring topics that most kdramas don't even think about or treat shallowly. Everyone else is hit or miss. They have some good emotional beats with the other characters but not consistently and not enough to outweigh their bad qualities (the abusive mom, the lazy dad and daughter, Dal-shik and his appropriation). I wish I could just tweak the script here and there in regards to the side-characters because so much of it is worth watching and it's sad that there are these moments where they ruin it.
The Liar and His Lover: speaking of BSR, ummm, guys this whole show is a high school girl inappropriately chasing after an older guy. She's not even mature for her age and he's not even worth the chase. I'm sticking it out because I literally love all the other characters. I'd have loved a show that was from Chan-young's point of view. I even find the second FL really interesting. They both are just trying to rediscover their identity in an industry that so adamantly strips you of your identity for the sake of money. And the other Crude Play members are just wanting to reclaim their artistry and take ownership of their work. Those stories I truly find interesting.

Will You Have Dinner With Me I like this drama more when the leads are on the scene without the exes interfering. Hae Kyung and DoHee are amazing together and sad that the reason for that is for losing a loved one. Even if HK has shown that he doesnt want anything to do with his mother prior to finding out about the illness, it is still a permanent loss that he would feel for the rest of his life. Do Hee was there to comfort him to HK's advantage. The only obstacle now is that silly episode ending that missed its intended mark.

Its Okay to Not be Okay i love this show and all the fairy tale references. Moon Young and Kang Tae are now living in the same roof (including Sang Tae). And the changes inside the cursee castle ia worth noting when the brothers started living there. The ghost of MY's mother still haunts her but she is lucky that KT is there to soothe her from her nightmare.

Bride of the Century I may have been impatient and skipped to the end. Now I wonder why they even separated and spoiled myself on a few things. But I am happy that they have a happy ending. I LOVE that red yarn that led them back to each other. Their baby is sooo cute.

Answer Me/ Reply 1988 - Now I am at ep8 after that secret santa and first snow confession confusion. Rewatching it again made me appreciate the characters more and redeiscover why I really like this show. I really love those pink angora gloves and wouldn't mind having one of my own. It is still cute seeing Moo-sung wear his. 💗
