No problem at all always happy to help and if you do a general request the Beanies are always happy to share recommendations or give a heads up when to run. We are mostly respectful of the range of opinions and preferences although some beanies will comment on actors skills and the find fault with writers but this helps to know which beanies you connect with/value their views.

I definitely recommend it. I gave it most of my beans in the bean count last year. The time travel element has some major loop holes but the general story is so sweet. It is funny and has found family and young love. The sweetest confession, lovely family dynamics.

As long as you don't go about looking for logic ... twinkle ahead my friend!!

Leave every last bit of your brain at the door, instead take in as many hearts as you can with you, and you're all set. 😁
Amazing acting, amazing heart-exploding scenes, absolutely nonsensical logic.

In one sense JDY was more ‘physical’ in OASIS than in SAND. (Then again he was 30 pounds lighter lol). Think of the choreography and rehearsal for those fight scenes. In OASIS I loved those fight scenes and the interaction with his gang of guys and the elders pulling off the cons. He is great with ensemble casts. We are seeing it in SAND.
I have to hand it to JDY. In SAND he is carrying an extra 30 pounds and not only that he can sprint with that weight. How he got those pounds into the right places I will never know because if it was me they would be all in my gut. The ssireum matches have been thrilling. As a pure sports kdrama I think SAND has been the best I have watched.
Finally, let me put a little plug in for Lee Jae-joon who played Jin-su. He played JDY childhood (frenemy?). I am sure he put on an equal amount of weight for this part but he has been in the background.

No I have not seen SBS’s SANDGLASS (1995) and unfortunately (after a search) it does not seem to be available on a legal stream for US viewers. 24 episodes with a nationwide average rating of 50.8%. Wow!

JDY was a real sport in OASIS early on with the makeup he had to wear but his hairdos were something else. Eventually they gave him a nice haircut but before that, oh my lol.

I remember him from the movie, but he's been low-key in dramas, maybe because I didn't watch enough of his dramas. Seeing him in "Flowers That Blooms At Night" is like seeing a familiar but unfamiliar face.

Boys over flowers unfortunately proves to me I won't automatically like all names with flower in the title, but again, a super popular drama!

@cozybooks,
I didn't mention it on purpose. Haha

@kiara lololol is that so? Haha I think it's funny how it was such a MASSIVE hit at the time and now I think there's a lot of people who aren't really fans. I never could get through it. I tried twice back in like 2014 and again in 2016 or 2017.

@cozybooks,
Massive, yes, the 2nd generation Hallyu, and it was a gateway drama for many overseas fans.

They were :).

The vibe... serious, epic and tragic. It's about battles and war and the story of two brothers trapped in all that chaos. It's a pure sageuk, not fussion.
There are good characters, acting, cinematography and OST.

Well acted. Sad though. Brother vs brother . The people revolt. The modern world comes crashing in to Korea , like it or not. The beginning of the end of the old Joseon .

Oh, interesting! I'll have to put it on my list - I don't know that I've ever watched a serious Sageuk before and absolutely loved it, although I've been around on DB when a few were airing (Six Flying Dragons)
