It’s a pity that spotify free only lets you listen to samples now 😅. But I have found a way around that 🤭. You can save the entire OST to your playlist by clicking on “like all songs”, check out the sample tracks, then screenshot their names. You can then search for your favourite tracks on youtube using their native names. Or, just search for “(drama native name) OST” on youtube. It is easier to find all the tracks using Korean/ native titles. Youtube saves the day! Yay! Happy weekend to you too!
Hello beanies I am going through a rough patch so I hope you will recommend me some truly healing dramas. I can’t take anything that goes dark along the way, so please only healing drama. Thanks a lot
Once Upon a Small Town is the only drama that comes to my mind that matches the description. The protagonist did have an incident in his childhood, but this lovely small town heals him without dwelling on darkness. There are lots of cute animals, romance, and the FL (Joy) brings us much joy 🥰. It is just a 6 hour watch on netflix. Here’s the trailer https://youtu.be/K3lm7mMPH2Y?feature=shared
Happy healing to you ❤.
As for recent dramas, Samdal-ri, Flowers in the Sand, Business Proposal are slice of life dtamas Ive enjoyed ~ wishing you happier ☀️ times Bunny S ~fighting!
Doctor Slump Is the show going slow now or is it just me? I am still enjoying this healing journey but spending half the episode on Ha-neul and mum is too much when second leads barely have screentime
It has been like this since last week. Most of ep 8 was Ha-neul wondering if they are dating and then we got hit by Kyung-min stealing her work. And episode 9 is just the same. The blind date was unnecessary. It would have been better if mum had a heart to heart with Ha-neul after the breakup and told her not to be guilty. And we got more of the secondary leads or whatever else. What aches me is the potential. Ha-neul helping Jeong-woo get over the PTSD and opening up about what really caused her depression make for interesting plot points. But according to the preview, Jeong-woo will hear Hong-ran talking and learn the truth. I wanted him to hear it directly from Ha-neul.
Also, you can’t cast Park Yoon and make him a plot device. His teenage daughter arc is nice to go over. Dae-yeong is a fun character and having this single dad pursue romance against his rebellious daughter will be fun. It is the same with Hong-ran and her cute son. Why put them in the poster and promise us a secondary romance when you are going to treat them like this?
My lovely fellow beanies Happy New Year to all of you! Wishing to have one more beautiful year ranting about our favorite dramas together. May it be one with many outstanding and enjoyable dramas.
Happy New year to you too. Looking forward to chatting with the beanies about the good, the bad and the ugly K dramas we will inevitably experience in 2024.
Lady Park is the true villain/antagonist here. Our leads had better watch their backs. She isn’t an easy one to deal with. Even the king is glad she isn’t a man. Imagine her as a government official!
Quick question: I know Park Ji-young has been a formidable character since week one. Did she get to the height of it this week. I want to know so I can just this week’s installment and get all this enticement over with.
Any recommendations to reignite my passion for dramas
PS: I have been watching Kdramas for more than 3 years so I am in need of some light-hearted hidden gems here. Thank you fellow beanies in advance
I second the suggestion of Gauss Electronics, and would also add Pegasus Market, Welcome to Waikiki, Once Upon a Small Town, Dali and Cocky Prince, and From Now On Showtime!
Once Upon a Small Town was really cute. No murder! Just countryside character a little bit overwhelming. But the ML was really nice, not too cold, and professionnal.
Extraordinary You has one of the best FL! Danoh is such a sunshine!
Girl’s Generation 1979 It was a cute drama even with this era.
– Would You Like A Cup of Coffee (2021)
– Special Labor Inspector Jo (2019)
– Eunjoo’s Room (2018)
– Naked Fireman (2017)
– Chief Kim (2017)
– The True Colors of Gang and Cheol (Drama Special, 2014)
– Flower Boy Next Door (2013)
Every “light-hearted” drama these days comes with a murder, except OUAST as Kurama said 😅. I’ll also second Business Proposal as a truly light hearted drama, but it kinda fizzles out towards the end. True hidden gems for me were Eunjoo’s Room and A Poem a Day (though it has other not very ‘light hearted’ moments 😅 which I loved nonetheless).
All the best for your quest to reignite your passion 👍. I am also trying to rediscover mine. And just as a tip, I think its important to manage your expectations and be flexible as a viewer 🙂
Uh-oh … go watch Kim Seon-ho in The Childe. He just won an award for it.
That should cure any remnants of Han Ji-pyeong-itis that is making you want to see Start Up!
Cool! Just a little word of warning both The Childe and Vigilante, in case of Nam Joo-hyuk withdrawal symptoms are 180 degrees opposite from their roles in Start Up!
Hope you enjoy watching. 😀
If you didn’t like the previous episodes then I think you should drop it. I enjoyed this week episodes but it’s because I love the show, I’ve always liked it.
Just when I was appreciating Twinkling Watermelon giving time to character development and romance we get hit by this cliffhanger. Are you kidding me? There is another accident!
