Beanie level: Rooftop room dweller

Just thinking that it was last summer I spent a month addicted to Go Go Squid.
It was by no means a perfect drama, but i had fun with it.
I was sort of thinking I wish it was just airing now, I wouldn’t mind escaping almost everyday into that slightly silly world.
And of course the other Beanies watching it made it twice as fun. I’d say for the most part none of us expected it to be more than it was. We were there to be entertained, laugh a little, enjoy some nice visuals, and maybe poke a little fun at it.

    I think cdramas are acing at making such shows. If I look back, Go Go Squid had a lot of problems but I enjoyed it for the heck of it and the fun. I still tune into cdramas when I need sth like that. However, there isn’t much beanie discussion on cdramas on the fanwall anymore, you may find it in the discord channel though.

And the debate to start a drama before fully subbed or not.
But I’m happy to have the debate because it means I’m interested.

I do not need nor can I afford a new phone. But sometimes I miss the satisfaction of a hanging up even if it is just by snapping it .

This seems fast, but doesn’t look like it will be a direct sequel.
I’ll take some fluffy romance for august.

This is really cool and fun. People download what is outside their windows from around the world. Got to listen to some rain in India and watch traffic if France.

I was reading a blog post yesterday that included a link to an Instagram called AdoptHappy. It is the Instagram page of a four month old puppy, Happy, in LA who is looking for a forever home. The thing is is that he has very bad scars on his face, left him with a permanent smile, from burns.
I just think he looks like the sweetest little guy so posting him here.
Hopefully he is getting lots of request, and it looks like they really vet potential owners and I’m sure he takes some extra TLC.

      I’m curious. Which two have you not watched?

        Go Back Spouses and IHYV. I get the feeling that I will enjoy GBC, and am waiting for it to become accessible on Viki in my region in a couple of months to get to it. IHYV is not on my watchlist…

    65%! I am not surprised. Although I was going by whether I enjoyed a drama rather than it being one of my favourites.

      Me too. If I enjoyed it and would probably rec it I’ve been counting it.

    Wowowow 70%, I haven’t Coffee Prince (I know… I’m disappointed in myself too LOL), My Ajusshi, or Hospital Playlist (though, it’s on my watchlist!)

      They both have great heroines though in different ways.

        I fully intend to watch IHYV at some point. I know it’s very unlikely I’ll see Hospital Playlist because I can never seem to finish dramas where the episodes are regularly around 90ish minutes. (I dropped both Goblin and Reply 1994 because of this issue).

          They are long eps. This may sound weird, but i found the show such a safe and warm place to be during lockdown that I didn’t mind because I just wanted to stay there. But also if you know something doesn’t work for you then definitely spend your time on the ones that will.

      It is one of those ones that when I finally watched it I wondered why I waited so long.

          Yay. I hope you like it. It has such a mix of wonderful women characters and the most marshmallow hero ever.

Haven’t listened to it yet, but the newest episode of Damas with a Side of Kimchi is about Hospital Playlist. If anyone wants to relive it.

Watching ep 8 of The Last Dance. It is really good. But it is also really funny how MJ uses any slight to push himself to greatness.
Also, you’d think people would learn not to purposefully do it.

    Also, love the opposing coaches plans when playing against the bulls. Basically keep him on the ground, do not let him fly.

Finally all caught up on It’s Ok and thought I’d finally start Unfamiliar Family or Dinner mate. But then I see The Last Dance on Netflix. I’m not a sports fan, but occasionally like Sports documentaries and shows. Plus, you don’t grow up in the 80s and 90s without seeing Jordan and Pippen everywhere.

So Iove this podcast, Pop Culture Happy Hour, but they are talking about a new food show on Hulu. It sounds super interesting. It’s called Taste the Nation. Anyway they delve into what it is about and what makes it so good. I’m not even going to try and condense it. I’m going to have to try and check it out.

I am not a hugger but something about Kim Soo Hyun’s character Gang tae in It’s Ok to not be Ok makes me want to hug him and be hugged by him all at the same time.

Though I liked the premiere of It’s Ok a lot, I then kind of fell away from watching dramas for a few weeks.
I’m back to watching it on and off today and I appreciate that MY’s intrrest in GT feels true to her character.
She likes pretty things, lol, but also I think he is a bit of a novelty and a puzzle to her.

Decided to try The Babysitter’s Club.
Had a “Is that Alicia Silverstone?” moment. And then a “Whoa, she’s now the mom character ” moment.

Life: Love on the Line
I’m not sure the next ep will be enough to make up for this, enough of an emotional payoff.
I hold a grudge.
