What I’m watching (as of Jan 17th 2024)

Mon-Tues
Love Song for Illusion. Interest: 2/10. On the verge of dropping. Writing is choppy, the pace is too fast, and the acting too green. Both actors need more time in support roles to develop their acting skills.
Marry My Husband. Interest: 9/10. Always loved most of Park Min-young’s work, and continue to love this. So fun! I guess my one annoyance is with the fact that everyone in this world seems to exist for Ji-won, but in a way, I guess they do?

Wed-Thurs
Like Flowers in Sand. Interest: 9/10. After that beautiful episode 9? How could I not love this show? I’m watching more for the writing/directing and Jang Dong-yoon’s incredible performance than for the plot or the story.

Friday-Sat
My Demon. Interest: 2/10. I’ve followed with liberal use of the fast forward button. All fueled by the OST (“True”, Yoari).
Knight Flower. Interest: 9/10. LOVING this show far. Strong, funny opening episodes set in a harsh and cruel reality.
My Happy Ending Interest: 3/10. Dropped after ep 2, but reading reviews has my interest up again. Maybe I should check out a couple more eps?

Completed Shows to Watch.
Moving. Interest based on reviews: 8/10.
Tell Me You Love Me Interest based on reviews: 8/10.

    Let me know if you decide to give My Happy Ending another go – it’s not a great drama in terms of being well put together, written or anything like that.. it’s just my two hours of crazy fun a week when I decide I want to follow this poor lady’s super makjang life for a bit and wonder if she’ll ever get a break.

    As often happens on the Fanwall, just above your post is Sicarius’ review of Tell Me That You Love Me. So what is your interest now!! 🤔 😉

      Sico puts in a lot of thought in her reviews! But I’m scared to read it because I don’t want to see spoilers. 😀 Everything I’ve read has been spoiler free.

      I did get the basic gist – that the show began with one premise but did not follow though on it. That’s probably a solid point but for me – whether or not that would ruin a show would depend on a case by case basis, show by show. Sico and I have often differed on our interpretations of a show (and often times we’ve been in agreement!), so I’ll go back to her thoughts once I’ve seen it.

      That she put in so much effort in writing a review is likely a good sign!

        That is indeed a perfect strategy to follow especially if you don’t like spoilers. Same dramas likely affect each of us differently and we should only watch what makes us happy. 😊 While at times it is fun to follow the Beans a là PMR but then that was like an year end present for patient drama watching throughout the year. Please do watch only what you like. I was just teasing you as it is always fun to read contrasting opinions on the Fanwall and sometimes they are together.
        We will look forward to your review/ comments on the drama.
        BTW impressive viewing list. 👌👏

          Thank you~ also not offended. I’m a DB oldie who was in a drama slump for ~4 years? Sico and I are friends (though it’s been a while because of my slump!)
