Little Boy - 1215k - 1st week November

1275k - 19 November - looks far off but quite possible.

This rally has all the momentum and fun season is just starting now.
This momentum will remain intact for many upcoming months.

Busy Busy Busy - too many shows, not much time. Better skip and drop.
Election week - Ready as a stock trader. volatility is what pushes you into a corner and the return is whatever investment and profit you save from losses than generating some.

happy friday beanies ◡̈

no dramas for me for the past two weeks— but hopefully, that will change tuesday. i’ve finished 4 college applications due nov 1, i just have a few supplemental essays to write for a college due nov 15. i thought that i’d be free-ish this week, but i currently have two projects due today that were assigned wednesday, and a test and a paper due monday T_T but i don’t have school on tuesday, thursday, or friday, so i’m hoping to either finish my essays then or *finally* finish BTIMFL @mindy !!! i also have to finish FMW, and start and complete so many more (the list keeps growing too)

the past week has been quite hellish. i’m hoping i will just have some more free time after this. my next two applications (after the 15th) are due nov 30 and dec 1. everything else is due jan 1— and there are a few colleges that have overlapping essays (why this major?) or don’t have supplementals that i’m hoping i can submit earlier than that. i feel like october has been very slow but fast at the same time— school just seems to drag, but my weekends seem like not enough time to complete essays in, and i can’t believe october’s done already, today actually marks that i’m 20% done with my senior year! part of that makes me shudder, but i can’t WAIT to be done with this application process!!! after jan 1, it is binge city from there *evil cackle*

fun fact: this november 6th officially marks the fifth anniversary of reply 1988’s first ep!! will be rewatching the show, but as the episodes released heehee

as always, love and hwaiting beanies! stay safe and i wish you all happiness ◡̈

So I dropped Alice, and now just watching 18 Again and Zombie Detective. Zombie Detective is sooo funny, I haven't laughed out loud for a drama in such a long time.
The First episode reminded me a lot of Warm Bodies English zombie movie.
For 18 Again, it such a good quality , everything makes sense in the world, and I loved the recent episodes where the main leads kissed. Also is it me, or I've noticed that whenever a female lead is ahem "excited", they always make the actress dart there eyes really quickly from left to right. I love it, but started noticing it more and more in asian dramas. Never seen or noticed in western or american shows or movies.

I had my exams this month. One last exam and I will be free. I have lots of dramas lined up to watch. So much that I don't have time for all. This week was the first time since March I had icecream, oh how I missed it. Oh and I went ahead and created a blog for kdramas. https://amruta1009.blogspot.com

When drama show plots turn into a real story, it is stunning. From the Korean Herald:

South Korea's telecommunications regulator on Friday ordered a six-month suspension of services for cable TV channel MBN for accounting fraud in an unprecedented heavy punishment of a broadcaster in the country.

The Korea Communications Commission (KCC) said MBN manipulated its balance sheet in 2011 to conceal a portion of the capital raised under borrowed names of its employees.

MBN's move was part of its plans to raise 300 billion won, the minimum requirement to acquire a license to operate a general programming cable TV network.

The regulator added that the cable channel submitted falsified documents for its license's reapproval in 2014 and 2017.

The cable channel will be given a six-month grace period before being suspended from May through October.

As a big fan of Extraordinary You, I was surprised they did a talk "concert" with the PD and the 3 main actors today.

For a drama without famous actors neither writer/PD and that didn't have high ratings, it will have been talked about a lot. I'm very happy for the production and the actors :)

Penthouse became one of the most expensive K-dramas. It's 27 billion won and I'm totally shook.

Kim Soon-ok was one of the greatest K-drama writers and he's still continued his success with his one of his greatest achievement: the ratings. Penthouse: War in Life was reached 10% during the second episode.

Hi beans!!!

My long wait has ended~~~ Kairos premiered this week 🥳. But now I have to wait for new eps 😅.

I enjoyed ep 1 and 2, I'm being cautious and try not to be too excited as I've seen too many dramas start strong and then went down in flames. I hope Kairos remains as exciting and as intriguing throughout it's run. I really like the editing, transitions and camera work. I hope they keep doing the title card and end card for each ep, it's so stylish and cool.

Happy Friday beanies! This week was cold and rainy - just how I like it! College has been kicking my butt but I'm glad the dramas have been healing my stress a little. Otherwise it's been pretty uneventful for me haha.
Happy Halloween everyone! Stay safe and eat lots of candy!

I only have time and energy to start one drama and I want something fun but not totally brainless. I need some substance, not just fluff. Out of these two, which one would you recommend beanies: START UP or DODOLALA?

After Record of Youth, Park Bo-gum was in hot water for his problematic remarks that was media promotion against the military regulations.

zombie detective is the best drama this year. it truly is.

For all American Beanies, next week was Election Day (November 3)/Election Week! Keep voting!

Had a busy week, so every time I got to sit down for some drama-watching I just fell asleep a few minutes in... It's a battle of sorts between my two favourite hobbies - sleeping and drama-watching -, and sleep always wins 😂
By the way, Dodo plays Rara's stress narcolepsy for laughs, but that totally happens to me too. Sleepy-heads of the world, unite!

Happy weekend Beanies and keep Beaning On!
My comment got swallowed, I hope this one works....

Happy Friday, Beanies!

Refund Sisters' "Don't Touch Me" and Mamamoo's "Dingga" gave me the much-needed energy boost to power through work. I love them so much!

My friends are planning to meet for ramen this Saturday, but a part of me just wants to stay in bed all day and recover. Anyone else feel that way sometimes?

I hope everyone has a great weekend ahead, and stay safe! 😄

I can't get myself to finish Stranger 2. My favourite actors/characters in the dramas most likely are going to be the corrupted ones. I paused at episode 15, will pick it up later once I'm ready.
Last week I started Camelia Blooms, at episode 9 now. I really enjoy it. Gosh, the male lead is so adorable, I think I have a bit crush on him. Really don't like the creepy waitress, the one who work with Dong Baek at Camelia. I FF most of her scenes. I understand the purpose of her character, but she's beyond annoying now with stalking and blackmailing.

Happy weekend everyone! My nearly 4 year old has fallen in love with Kpop (specifically, Twice) - she loves a good dance routine, and it’s pretty hilarious watching one preschooler try to be nine highly trained dancers 😂 .....can anyone recommend anything else that’s got clear choreography that she might like?

It's November hiatus time.

Although real life has been so all-consuming the last few weeks I've almost been on hiatus anyway.

The big news is that a) I'm taking two weeks of work and b) the borders are open so I'm going to my island for those two weeks. I admit that I'm investing a lot of expectation in a mere 14 days, it may not be enough to come down from the stress of everything that's going on.

I can't believe it's the last day of October. #OctobINAR is finishing up today and then it's a short bumpy ride to the end of 2020. Can't wait.

Tomorrow's Halloween 🎃 👻

I usually don't participate in giving out Trick-or-Treating candies. Decided to give it a try this year. Put up a couple small tables out on the driveway with "individually bagged treats for kids to take".

We are near the end of the street so Halloween traffic was normally light. We'll see how this year goes.

Hello Beanies! I hope you’re all well.

For the American contingent here, Election Day is right around the corner. If you’re planning to vote by mail, and live in a state covered by the recent 8th Circuit decision (incl. Minnesota), please consider dropping your ballot off at the polling place rather than in a US mailbox.

Happy Halloween!

Hello Beanies!

I hope youre all doing well!

As for me, I think Im coming down with something. My chest feels all stuffy and I fall asleep the second I come home from work.

Ive been rediscovering my delight in cooking. This week I made chili and tomato soup (from scratch!!) two breakfast casseroles (one for me and one for a work meeting) and the filling for breakfast burritos. I read somewhere that tortilla shells dont freeze well so you make the filling in advance, and then while it's getting warm in the microwave you toast up the tortilla (however you do that-- I put the tortilla right on the eye and flip it until its pliable and smells yummy). Then you build your burrito adding some hot sauce and avocado and wrap the whole thing in aluminium foil. Ive also remembered how very much I hate doing dishes. I still need a few things. A bakers rack to hold canned goods and appliances as I dont have the cabinet space for these things. And a bathroom tower. No linen closet.

My couch remains amazing. So comfortable! I fall asleep there most nights (again, as soon as I get home from work). I am BEYOND behind in my drama watching as my tv with internet access is upstairs and 5 nights out of 7 Im conked out downstairs!

Work remains...whatever. My manager has been ...nice?...to mw these last two or three weeks and I do NOT understand. I keep waiting for the shoe to drop. Ive been meeting with a career counselor who has told me that his behavior towards me is more than just rude or insensitivity. Its harassment and after she helps me find a new job if I want shell put me in contact with a lawyer who will help me sue him and the library.

My friends husband has covid. Ive been helping her find resources: help with bills, food, mortgage and I know shes scared but she is being SUCH A JERK that I swear when I see one of her texts I just want to ignore her.

My dad is so freaked out by how horrible everything is that even though I deliberately got this apartment in case we have to shelter in place but he refuses to leave his house. I understand him being scared but I wish hed come here anyway. He habitually loses his phone or just decides not to answer and we wont hear from him for weeks. Goodness I hate this. The library hosted free covid tests today. Stressful! Everyday were getting emails tbat someone else has it but wete inviting all of these potential carriers right to our building!

Any way. Im all locked in for the weekend and am looking forward to watching something in another language!

Last week finally had tym in the past six months to binge-watch a series and so I did. Watched Search www; which was on my radar for a long time. Loved it, Was surprised by how technical it was; I thought it would be more based in relationship and girl friendship. Nonethelss, super enjoyable.
