Day 22: Best Secretary/ Assistant

It feels like it has been a very long time since I watched Bossam with Beanies. If anyone knows me, they know how little interest I have for sageuks in general. But the thing is that so many Beanies whom I liked interacting with seemed to be interested in this one, that was why I gave it a try. I must say that I’m still burnt by the fact that TWO of my most beloved characters got killed off near the end; one of them is the Best Assistant in my opinion.

Yes, I’m talking about the King’s most loyal guard. I can’t even find any pics of this character in my internet search just now. However, I remembered being extremely sad when he died defending his master, the King. He is the King’s true friend. Talking about the end of this character still makes me a bit mad: why do you have to fight with your swords again the enemies that use guns? WAEEEEEE

    It was heroic, but totally senseless🤦 Hated that death – but then, sageuk bodyguards do have a small survival rate, so it was somehow to be expected

    🤣 Sorry, but I started laughing really hard when I read, “I’m still burnt…” This is how I feel about A Poem A Day.

      My ship sailed there! Dr. Ye is a kind doctor!

        I was promised someone else.

          Min-ho and Bo-young for me. That made sense.
          Poor Min-ho. Director-nim, Writer-nim and then the Motorcycle-of-Doom all conspired to do him in.

            Why? Haraboji 🥺 isn’t Dr Ye cute and kind? Min ho always ends his sentence with “just kidddingg” and I thought I would have smacked him so many times already if I were the FL.

            So much wasted potential. 😩 (I really will let this go some day. Mostly.)

            Dr Ye is the better match! He is cute, and take good care of her. He is intelligent and doesn’t end each sentence with just kidding!

            I know it hurts.. but you gotta let it go. *shoo shoo*

        @mmmmm, this is why:

        Apologies. I like to drag this out every now and then.
        “Lily Magnolia” by Do Jong Hwan in episode 14 was my favorite poem in the drama and I loved Jang Dong-yoon’s narration.
        I give the director and production staff of APAD a high marks for the care taken in presenting the poems in the drama. This video is just one example of the quality of the presentations.

          @mmmmm, @ndlessjoie,
          If Dr. Ye and Bo-young have a parting of the ways I don’t think you would see Dr. Ye sitting on a step crying his eyes out like Min-ho.
          And yes Mugs I too have to let it go!
