Happy Easter beanies! I’m back and catching up on VINCENZO (on ep. 4). So glad that it’s living up to my expectations of
a) Song Joon-ki in a suit 🔥
b) absurd comedy like FIERY PRIEST.

    Oh Toki I’ve missed you! Just dropping by to tell you this. Hope you enjoy the current crop of shows.

      Hello! 🙂 I’m only watching VINCENZO of this current crop. Are there any other good ones?

        I think Nevillera is a heart-warming show. You may pick that one up if you’d like. I saw that some Beanies like Hello, Me! as well, but I haven’t watched it.

        Today I’m starting “The Jingbirok: A Memoir of Imjin War” KBS 2015. It’s a 50 eps sageuk. I couldn’t watch it live since there was no subs.
        I think this is more historically accurate like “Jeong Do-jeon” if you are in the mood for some history.

          50 eps? You all have my respect. I don’t think I can watch something that long again. Am I getting older?

            It’ll probably take me the rest of the year to finish it lol.
            I have ADD with dress up sageuks but this has a lot of history in it which is more interesting to me.

            @kiara all the best to you for this watch. It’ll probably take me the rest of my life to finish it because it is a saguek + 50 eps. Normally, the period drama also doesn’t focus on romance so.. perhaps it’ll take me this life and my next one as well.

            Thank you!
            I’ll alternate with the fusion so it’s all good :).

          @kiara THE JINGBIROK is definitely on my list! Let me know what you think of the first few episodes.

          @mmmm I can handle 50-episode historical dramas, but more than that is tough. I like longer dramas because we get to know the characters from childhood into to adulthood, with their successes and failures. KIM SU RO (32 episodes) left me disappointed because it was all about how he became king. I could easily have watched 32 more episodes about him actually being king!

            Toki, you know you and your saguek group always have my respect for the tenacity you all know. Looking at how many episodes you have to watch for each show makes me shudder. Honestly, I was relieved Navil only has 12 though I know this isn’t good for my attention span. 🙄

    Happy Easter Toki! I’m glad you are back before Jung Il-woo’s sageuk.
    Do you happen to have any kind of contact with @pakalanapikake? I haven’t seen her comment in a very long time. I hope she’s doing ok.

      Hello kiara! I’m totally here for Jung Il-wook’s sageuk. It’s the only drama I’m looking forward to in the next few months. If DB doesn’t recap it (which they most likely won’t because it’s MBN) we should hijack a thread. 😀

      I don’t have any contact with @pakalanapikake and really miss her :'( I hope she’s ok.

        I’m definitely going to watch for Jung Il-wook and the veterans. I’m not a fan of the leading lady but the crown prince looks familiar.
        Yes, I’m totally up for hijacking a threat. The controversial Gwanghae never gets old beside Kim Tae-woo is awesome in sageuks.

        Our poor Paka. I’m worried about her health since covid 🙏🏽.

          I watched WARRIORS OF THE DAWN a few weeks ago and am now a Gwanghae fangirl too. 😀 It was so nice to see Yeo Jin-goo play a Gwanghae that I could root for (not like in THE CROWNED CLOWN). THE JINGBIROK would be great to follow-up on that period… if only I had more time!

            I enjoyed WARRIORS of the DAWN too.
            I’m just going to watch it in slow motion haha. It’s going on pause when Jung Il-woo’s sageuk comes out.
