Beanie level: The Goblin’s underpants

Irony: being unable to finish and watch the rest of Life because I’m stuck studying for vaguely health-related coursework (yay… histology…)

Watched the US Open and I’m so pissed. I really love both ladies, but the umpire screwed over both Serena Williams AND Naomi Osaka. F*ck him.

Just remembered that Medical Top Team was a drama that existed and one that I actually watched. And then I wondered why I would do that to myself, but… duh. Joo Ji-hoon.

1) I\’ve ascended! I\’m now an Eunuch in drag. :\’) Took long enough!

2) I can\’t wait for Life to end, because even one drama is a lot to handle with a full course load… 😫

Oh, Ye Jinwoo. It\’s hard for me to love you when you care so little about the consequences of your meddling and how it may hurt others around you :\’) :\’) :\’) #LIFE

    Why do people like/love him to begin with. That attitude was apparent from the very first episode. I am just happy to see the tide turning with the beanies here as far as justification for liking him.

    I thought his heart was in the right place in the beginning, but now I just wonder what purpose he’s really serving other than his own sense of justice. It’s just so frustrating because of who he has inadvertently screwed over (Pres. Gu, Dir. Oh Se-hwa, even No-eul and Dr. Joo)/the mess they have to get themselves out of. and he was so blase after all was said and done. These episodes just showed me he’s been really misguided and doesn’t really see the BIGGER picture. 🙁

    He lets his ‘sense of justice’ render him blind to anything else. And every action he takes, he takes it like a coward – hiding behind something or someone either by manipulation (Dr. Joo)
    I also think his heart is in the right place but he just goes about it the wrong way. It’s his way or nothing! And his hero worship of the late director is starting to get on my nerves just as much as his recklessness does. I’ve never liked his character but I understood him but now I’m starting to dislike him. President Gu is so much more interesting.

I haven\’t watched Life (episode 12) yet, but is anyone else confused by the ambiguity of Gu Seung-hyo and No-eul\’s relationship? LMAO 😐

    I feels like they tried to recreate what we got in Forest of secret between Shimok and Lt. Han. I’m not in this camp XD

      I thought Shi-mok and Yeo-jin had a completely unromantic relationship, but it was still very meaningful… but I do agree that whatever is going with THESE two is sort of lacking? (I’ll admit it makes my heart flutter a little bit though, LMAO. Trying not to get my hopes up.)

    I was sold at that nighty ep where he decided to adopt him. The bickering and interaction between YJW and LNE were totally platonic and unromantic to me so there was no confusion for me.

RE: Life, I feel like Gu Seung-hyo is going to be the fall guy for all this shite and he\’s going to go to jail lol 🙁

    Him and Jin-woo. And maybe that’s the push they both need to set aside their differences and start to work together.

Every day, hour, and minute without an episode of Life is just too much to bear. 😩

Jo Seung-woo could do no better than Hwang Shi-mok, but wow. Gu Seung-hyo. His BDE is off the charts LMAO 💦💦💦 (And \”Life\” is great.)

    Tbh after ep 10 of Life, I had to rewatch some of FoS to cheer myself up. Lololols He is so good in both I just can’t process it. But I wanted some comfort in being able to wholeheartedly root for his character.

    I’d like to wait for his romance, I’m sure he is interest with No-eul, I ship both of them

Life on Mars, drama of the year (IMO). Personally didn\’t care for the epilogue (will elaborate in comment), but the ending was VERY GOOD.

    Not a fan because it hinted towards a season 2. Usually I’d be game for that, but we’ve all been on this rodeo before. It gets delayed. Someone drops out of the cast, or worse — they recast a character with a different face. Unnecessary roles are added. They lose directors or PDs. In short… 🗣️ DON’T MAKE PROMISES YOU CAN’T KEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lmao

    At least with OCN, there’s hope since we got Bad Guys and Voice second season. I’m still waiting for TvN to be the same. *cough Signal cough*

      And Vampire Prosecutor, but the advantage VP has over Bad Guys and Voice is that they kept the main cast — those two did not :'(

If you remember when Dramabeans used to post a song of the day in recaps, then you qualify for a veteran\’s discount. 😂

    Ha! I knew this but only because I went back and started from DB’s first post when I got crazy abt the site some 4-5 years ago..

    So maybe not a veteran’s discount but a loyalty one?

I have been watching Life on Mars, but for the most part I was having a slump… until now! Back to watching endless j-dramas and it feels great.

      No, I absolutely love Life on Mars! It’s wonderful! I just had a hard time watching anything else (I usually watch more than one at a time and finish about 30+ dramas a year but lately it’s been hard lol)
