Beanie level: The Goblin’s underpants

Usually by now I would’ve write up pages of BTLIOF analysis.

Ep 11 came and I’m like: Nope. just gonna squeel and swoon and put the scenes on repeat.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Se Hee is one tough wall to crack. Now I’m more eager to see how his wall is going to crumble. Go for that tactical attack, Ji Ho! And it’s not impossible to score that goal! Go Ji Ho! We’re all rooting for you!

That feeling when you just got brilliantly trolled by a drama. 😂 I’m looking at you BTLIOF. But thank you, for staying true to the story. 😘😘😘

Sometimes when I get too overwhelmed with too many comments to read, I skipped page 1 and go to page 2 so I could pretend it’s the first page. Because I can LOL.

    I did that without noticing. I felt so proud of myself for having finished reading all the comments, and then realised I still had page 1 to go. LOL.

Me watching BTLIOF be like:

Avoid all spoilers
Wait for sub
Watch BTLIOF
Write 500 words of what to comment
Liking every Beanie posts on fan wall while waiting for recap
Abuse OST
Read recap and grin like crazy
Comments
Refresh comments
Refresh comments
Refresh comments
Give up when the comments spiked through the roof
Leave DB
Gather thoughts to write more comments LOL.
Give up again.
The new recap comes out.
*repeat cycle*

Who said watching kdrama is easy? If only I’m this dedicated with my own writings that I have to complete *sigh*

Finally climbing up the social ladder to chaebol’s poor doppelganger. Got stuck at being an eunuch since June LOL. Better late than never 😂

Echoing what a Beanie said in Because This Life is Our First thread: I wish Beans of Wisdom is back. With the comments piling up, I just couldn’t keep up anymore. Perhaps I should stick to the Fan Wall. Smaller bits to chew and less drama haha

I’m probably the one with unpopular opinion, but not really feeling connected with Temperature of Love. Something feels off for me.. is it the directing? The writing? The editing? The acting? Or is it just me being cranky in my slump? I’ll wait for another few eps before deciding whether to drop the show or not.

    Mmm..interesting. Maybe the 2nd episode will grab you OR make it more clear what’s not hitting the mark for you.
    I loved the first episode but I do have reservations on Kim Jae-Wook.
    His character reminds me too much of his character in Mary Stay Out All Night. Again being super reserved and likely a lady who’s really feisty.

      I feel the same way. Am gonna watch the 2nd episode to decide but the first episode definitely didnt do anything for me. I just couldn’t connect to the romance at all…and the whole black and white editing is strange. I dont think its a slump for me since i wactched age of youth ep 7 and girls generation ep 3 too around the same period of time and i definitely enjoyed them better than the temperature of love.

        I found the black and white editing strange and distracting. It’s a directorial decision I guess, but it feels like those moments were forced on me like “this is important and you should remember this moment” whereby I’m content of finding those moments on my own, without them being blatantly shoved on me. Perhaps what I’m looking for is not what the show is giving. I’m watching AoY2 and Girls Generation too and enjoy them much better, especially AoY2.

      Glad you enjoyed the first episode. I’ll give the show the benefit of the doubt and will wait for a few more eps 🙂

      I have reservations on all the characters, and Kim Jae-Wook scenes are so litttle in the first ep so I couldn’t say much about him yet. I hope he steals the future scenes like he always does with his other dramas!

Is it just me or the kdrama slump this year is too deep? The struggle to get up and get out of it is too real.

      Now I feel like I’m watching dramas from inside the slump but they are so boring (except for a few) that I don’t even bother to pull myself out of the pit. Yeah, that bad.

        At least you are watching something! I have given up! I am watching variety shows and just spending time on DB.. The feel will come when it has to.. I hope it comes by the time While You Were Sleeping airs.. I don’t want to sleep on that show! 😛

          I’m extremely cautious now going into new shows. Burnt me few times already. It seems to be a trend this year to start a kdrama with hope but being crushed by them in later episodes.

    Haven’t been in a slump for quite a while now although I’ve been dropping shows here and there more often than I used to 😂😂😂

      I watch shows here and there but ended up dropping most of them. And to think how I used to watch all at the same time make me miss those days even more. *sigh*

      I just call that being selective. I noticed I’ve been giving myself a pass to drop things that I normally would have pushed myself to complete, which is good since it leaves me time to find something that suits my mood better. And I leave a ep # where I left off at so I can pick it up later.

      The only ones I’m watching now are AoY and LGG. I love AoY but waiting for the subs kinda ruin the mood, and LGG is still too early to say. I do watch other shows, but it felt like my soul left me and I ended up questioning the purpose of me watching in the first place. #thestruggleisreal

        This was the start of the slump for me. I used to watch 6-8 shows a week then dwindled to one and when I was left only with BotWG, I just barely finished for the sake of finishing. I haven’t watched anything after it and just watched clips here and there of old shows, variety and song videos (thanks to theme of the month). I have done struggling and is resigned to my slump-fate (for now). Counting down the days for LJS’s new drama-light at the end of the slump tunnel. *crossfingers

          I totally feel you. I skip-watched almost everything and I miss fangirling over shows so much.

            I still fangirl on pictures and FMVs though nothing stops me. I miss the thrill of live watching and discussing on dramabeans 😢
            What was the last show you watched?

            I think I miss the thrill of live watching and the eagerness of waiting for recaps and comments. The last drama that made me feel that way was Chicago Typewriter (even tho the most recent drama I completed was School 2017).

I think I\’m starting to feel the impact of having all the oppas in the military. The surging batch of new leads left me hanging and I started missing those the army had taken even more. Sigh..

Never has 2nd lead ship sank so hard for me than in Reply 88. It scarred me so bad i could never revisit the drama. But this! THIS! You really mess with my shipper heart! With this current ending in sight, perhaps I could finally do a rewatch. The wound is finally healed now! Eeeeeeeeeeeee good luck you two!

    Same here! I stopped watching at ep 14 because I couldn’t watch Jongpal hurted anymore. And now I think I can finish the drama 😀

    I’m happy for them 😍

    But I didn’t feel so bad when Jung-hwan didn’t get the girl.. don’t get me wrong, I rooted for him, I was shipping him with her so bad and I even cried at his “fake confession” but when I found out that Taek was the husband I was okay with it because I also rooted for him, I wanted him to be happy and loved.. it felt like the show fooled me into loving both guys!

      Lucky you! I was so deeply seated in the Jung-hwan ship that when it drowned, it hurt so bad – even though I do get why he didn’t get the girl – that noble idiot fool.

        I stopped watching after the “fake confession” , my heart can’t bear it anymore
        Now, with this ending (irl), I think I can finish reply 1988 😅

    I was a Jung Hwan shipper one hundred percent, but that scene he talked in voice over about being too hesitant and too doubting and too scared was so gut punchingly realastic that made me completely ok with and accepting of the ending. He deserved it, and though it broke his heart and mine, he really had only himself to blame.

    And in retrospect I now feel that for a drama about youth hopes and heartbreaks, a truly deeply real heartbreak was much more apt than a happily sailing ship and a sorry-we-love-you-but-maybe-next-time kind of second lead.

Is it weird that I have an obsession towards Tae Woon’s arm veins? I like the smirks, the abs and everything else about him, but his arm veins were really too much for me to handle. 🙈 #School2017

    No it is not. 😅😅😅I have a friend who is obsessed with arms and arm veins. Especially the arms of the members of BTS. (Ha this is revenge for her mentioning me in her tumblr posts).

      Ha! At least I’m not alone?

      I mean I can handle everything else pretty well, but arm veins? Mindblown LOL. And I think this show knows this coz it keeps putting the arms in focus! ? (Well thank you show!)

Once in a while, a show creeps into your life and you realize you are willing to let go of the crazy plot, confusing characters & choppy editing simply because you love the show too much. #loveisblind

Watching Reunited World and just realised that Kwak Dong Yeon is eerily similar to Mike Pirath (Full House Thailand)! Wow can’t believe it took me a while to realize that!

All caught up to Reunited World. Yeo Jin Gu cries prettily but I want him in a show where he’s not dying or crying. Is that too much to ask? Seeing him crying over and over again is too much for me.

    I hope he does something light or funny or anything besides crying soon. I mean he’s great at it but my heart can’t take the back to back tears.
