Have managed to lure my husband into watching Alchemy of Souls with me 🥳 better be good show or it’ll take another year before he agrees to watch anything again 😅

    i hope he likes it — i like it alot! but generally speaking, my husband has started watching on his own — and we don’t usually watch the same dramas. i’m just happy he watches them – so much better than the american crap on network tv. the streaming services have some good programming here in the US, tho…

      We don’t watch a lot of the same tv so it’s nice to have something we both are watching – he tends to watch a lot more grim dark sci fi than I have energy for 😅 I’m not even sure what’s on network tv these days here, I’ve completely shifted to streaming services now.

    He likes romcoms? And fantasy?

    I could be a good strategy to watch something you’re 100% he’s going to like. He’ll think “I enjoyed this one… I guess I can watch another kdrama” and then BOOM you invite him to watch Alchemy. Even if he doesn’t like it, he’ll remember his previous experience with the kdrama he liked and won’t hate the idea of watching another drama in the future.

      He actually does like rom coms (if they are good), which is excellent for watching things together. I mostly got him watching this one because he has terrible flu and I put it on while he was lying on the couch and he couldn’t escape 😂 – but he’s sucked in now.

      I’m no good at predicting what he’ll like so I think it’s better watching things neither of us have seen – he liked (most of) Strong Woman Bong Soon and Oh My Ghost but we never quite finished Goblin and we abandoned Abyss pretty early on because it was not very good.

        Oh, nice! Glad he liked it ^^

        I like those shows, especially Oh My Ghostess, it’s hilarious.
        Maybe you two would enjoy something like Fight for My Way, Kim Bok Joo or Welcome Waikiki. 🤔

          I definitely like both Fight My Way and Kim Bok Joo, but couldn’t get into Waikiki at all. I don’t think he’d get the appeal of Dong Man 😅 so might not like FMW but Weightlifting Fairy is on my list to force on him some time.

            He light like what’s wrong with secretary Kim. My husband and I are watching Jinxed right now as Alchemy of souls and he’s enjoying both.

            @ally-le I might have to give Jinxed at
            first another go, I wasn’t sold after the first episode and haven’t picked it back up.

            Secretary Kim might be worth a try 🤔 it’s been a while since I watched it.

    Hi beffels! Long time see on db! It’s funny because I’ve managed to do the same!🥳 I’d forgotten how much fun it is to live watch something together. But now we have a whole week before the next episodes…waiting is so hard! Do you have any theories as to what’s going on with Mu Deok’s original soul? I have so many questions!!😅

      Hi! How are you? It’s been awhile!

      We’re not quite caught up yet because there were four or five episodes out before we started so at the moment I haven’t got a clue about anything 😅

        It has! Work took over my life for about a year, but things are much more manageable now so I actually have time to watch dramas again!☺️ How have you been?

        Can’t wait to hear your thoughts once you’re caught up!

          I’ve been good – just looking after kids who are having turns at getting winter bugs for weeks on end 😅

          It’s good to have time to watch dramas again! Are you watching anything other than Alchemy?
