Kdrama music is so good…so MANY good songs, my 1st watch of “You’re Beautiful.” Lee Hong-Ki is ADORABLE but Jang Geun-Suk vocals to “What Should I Do?” is so emotional…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkPoSXmh1-E&list=PLMTFenTLOBONMoSJq_ZB4bKpHtzDJ8Jkm&index=213

    Thanks for confirming that KTL didn’t just make up adults wearing school uniforms 🤭

      I had seen so much anger and criticism for KTL amusement park episode that I went in holding my breath, ready to cringe.

      But… it was just a few minutes, and I wouldn’t have noticed those are school uniforms if not for the fanwall posts. 🤦🏻‍♀️
      Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Ever wonder what celebrity “oppas” do in the military? Military musicals! Here is currently serving actor Jang Ki-Yong rehearsing with ONF’s Kim Hyo-Jin for “Blue Helmet: A Song of Meissa” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJHhoSXr65w&list=PLMTFenTLOBOPnhzRPU7w7blw32-KC9t50&index=24

Done–Alchemy of Souls 1&2. Beanies, what are your thoughts on dramas by the Hong sister?

    Loved S1. I liked S2 too but it felt sort of redundant and there really wasn’t enough story in it for 10 episodes.

    In fantasy dramas, they build an interesting world but can’t really use it.
    A Korean Odyssey : the end was a disaster. (the actress playing the FL wasn’t great neither)
    Alchemy of Souls : The FL changed so many times without any logic behind it at the end. The ML had everything so easily, in the second season his fights were pretty boring.
    Big : they had the beginning of the story but not the rest.
    Warm and Cozy : It was boring.
    I liked :
    The Master’s Sun, Hotel del Luna, Couple or Trouble, You’re Beautiful and My Girl.

    I enjoyed both seasons of AoS, but my favorite Hong sisters dramas are their older ones – The Greatest Love and My Girlfriend is a Gumiho being my favorites, with Master’s Sun an honorable mention. I haven’t seen Korean Odyssey yet, but I’m a fan of Lee Seung-Gi, so it’s on my list.

    I watched Alchemy of Souls 1 & 2, which I didn’t love but… I watched, anyways. I think the plot was a mess but in the end I didn’t even care, I was only watching it for Lee Jae Wook. I think the story could have been much better, and have more sense.

    Then, a few months later I watched Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey). It was funny, messy too, but I enjoyed it more tan AoS. I loved the main male leads, but the zombi girl (Lee Se Young) almost stole the show.

    And that’s all I have watched by the Hong sisters so far.

    I liked season 1 of AoS. It was an easy binge-watch. The opposite for season 2. I almost could not finish it. Took me sheer will and effort to do so.

    Their earlier dramas were much better. Recently they are hit or miss for me. I love You’re Beautiful, Greatest Love and Master’s Sun.

Finished the final episodes (#56!) of the C-Drama “Love Like the Galaxy.” I loved the opening & closing sequences that reminded me of a shadoww I saw in Xi’an. About Chinese shadow puppetry: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=chinese+shadow+puppet+show

Kdrama music is so good…halfway through my 1st watch of Alchemy of Souls, I heard this nostalgic song: “Tree” or “Just Watching You” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kelx-C8lEDE

    It’s a lovely song, and original version of it in Part 1 is gorgeous, too – the song is so evocative of Yul’s character. The Alchemy OST is one of my absolute favorites.

    I’m really happy with season 2, and am currently binge-watching it. Son Seok-koo appears to be stealing the show. I much prefer him to these more animated roles, rather than the introspective ones (“Mr. Gu” from My Liberation Notes).

    Oh, forgive me, Bae Na Ra was excellent in his supporting role.
