Beanie level: Rooftop room dweller

Wow. I can’t believe it’s now been THREE YEARS since I last logged in/made a post here! THREE YEARS! Dramabeans used to be my K-drama Bible! Like, it was DB first thing in the morning, and last thing at night. I read recaps religiously! It was watch an ep, then read a recap, rinse and repeat. There were rare times when I’d be desperate and read the recaps first because the episode wasn’t subbed yet! Haha.

It’s good to see DB and the Beanies community again. I’ve missed you all, and hope to chat, catch up, and fangirl with my friends here again soon (I hope you’re all still here!).

Wishing you all a happy new year filled with good health, great happiness, much success, and of course, fantastic dramas!

Omg, is this new??? I was able to see all 8 of my notifs when I clicked on the bell! I think it used to only be like, 4-5 and you’d have to go directly to your full list of notifs to see the rest. This is a game changer bc that means we’ll be able to see our mentions instead of missing it just bc it doesn’t pop up on the drop-down. I hope that’s what’s going on. Anyways…

    Maybe it’s ’cause I’m never on here, but I feel like I’m always the only one ever getting excited over the little changes here at DB. Lol.

For all you fellow lovers of Mr. Dimples, aka Kim Sun-ho, if you haven\’t already watched his drama special, You Drive Me Crazy!, with Lee Yoo-young, then you should totally check it out! It\’s super duper sweet! KSH will make you swoon and LYY is adorable!

    I was shocked to see him in 100 Days, and even though I almost never get SLS, his dimples will make the struggle real.

      YAS, so was I! He just popped up outta nowhere and I was like, “Omg, HEY!” And YAS x2 about his dimples making it harder! He’s got dem sweet dimple smiles and they just get cha everytime!

      I see Mr. Dimples as second lead, I know there’s bound to be heartbreak. At least I’m/we’re prepared for it? Maybe? … I’ll probably need some time.

        I expect he will soon have a role as a con man or a serial killer, as this seems to be the path towards leading man status. Unless that might be a twist here, underneath those dimples lie a cold hearted Joseon killer seeking revenge of some sort.

      Me too! He’s a great actor and I’m so glad he’s getting his chance to shine.

      This short was SO CUTE! He played the perfect boyfriend role–just like Cha Eun-woo’s Kyung-seok! <3

    I tried to edit this post to add the drama poster because it shows how cute this show is, but um, yeah, that didn’t work out. So I’ll just post the poster here:

    Fun fact: This was actually a candid photo one of the staff took on set while the cast was just chillin’ and chattin’ w/ each other before they actually started taking actual promo shots for the drama. I love candid shots like these, and it’s especially refreshing when it’s an official poster for a show/movie.

I’m SURE I’ve had this combination before, but for some reason, I recently realized how GOOD kimchi and tuna is together. Lol, this is so random, but I thought I’d share since I was packing some for lunch earlier and I noticed that I practically ate the entire container on like, 2 separate occasions. 2! By myself! *really shouldn’t be showing off how much I eat, lawl*

I eat it with white rice and it’s delicious. It’s also another really good way to finish/utilize our kimchi (the other way is making kimchi soup w/ it. My mum makes it deliciously). It’s also a really fast, easy, and cheap meal for when you’re on a budget because sometimes, these ingredients are already in your house! Add some seaweed, and you’ve got yourself a wrap!

Btw, remember my mom’s coworker/friend that gave us an entire box of turtle chips? Yeah, she’s the one that gave us the kimchi tuna, too. I just added more tuna. Hehe.

      Thank you! And oh, it is! It’s surprisngly really easy to eat, too. I literally got like, a 1 1/2 cup-sized bowl the first time ’round and I just sat there and ate and ate it all with my rice. I was like, “Dang.” I thought for sure they’d be leftovers.

    Yup. Tuna and kimchi is OTP. I tried an easy tuna kimchi jiggae recipe before and stick to this combo. They just match perfectly right? I tried replacing tuna with chicken but it doesnt give me the same depth of flavor. To think that I actually didnt like tuna… lol

      It’s called My ID Is Gangnam Beauty. It’s a really cute show. You should totally check it out if you haven’t already.

        Thanks. I’ll check it out. I’ve only been watching Thirty but Seventeen out of the current dramas.

        1

          Yeah, for sure! Let me know when you watch it!

          I’ve just been watching this and JUST finished watching The Best Hit recently. I picked it back up again for Cha Eun-woo (who’s the main male lead in Gangnam Beauty), and I continued it for him, Yoon Shi-yoon, and the rest of the cast. It was a fun one! I definitely love Eun-woo more in TBH, but his character in GB will surely make you swoon! He’s a total sweetheart–in the show and irl, it seems. So so precious. <3

          3

            If you like Eun-Woo check out Revenge Note. He makes a extended cameo a couple of episodes and its a fun drama too.

            @mayhemf Haha, my li’l sister watched that! She told me abt it, but eh, it’s not my thing. She did NOT, however, tell me that Eun-woo was in it… or maybe she did. Oops. Now is that the first one because she told me there was a sequel or spinoff (?) that just came out. Which one is he in? She also told me there’s hardly any subs for it and she watched the majority of it raw on YT. Haha.

            Speaking about TBH, I didn’t pay attention to Cha Eun-woo before despite kept hearing his name here and there as handsome kpop idol, but the 1st moment he appeared on screen with his jet black hair, I was so stunned like demmm who’s this guy, I immediately paused the vid, googled the name. And I went “Ohhh, no wonder he gets all that hype.” And yes just like you, I liked his character in TBH too.😀

        Hiya @ally-le I don’t know about @chingu but I had such a lot of trouble with the site earlier in the year that I got out of the habit. I had difficulty logging in, couldn’t scroll through recaps and comments and there were giant adverts all the time!? I’ve been quite busy outdoors too.

    The kids were sooo good. Like we usually say this all the time, but like these kids were only on screen like 20 mins and not the usual couple episodes. I really liked the first episode!

    2
    1

      They really were/are! I knew the girl was good because she’s one of the more well known child actresses, and even though I knew the boy, I was so impressed w/ him! From his devastating crying scene after he found out his mother died, to all the little facial expressions he made when he was with his friend when they were talking about the girl or when he was teasing her. He’s a natural!

      While I thought the first ep was kinda long, I really liked it, too. Definitely hooked for more.

      2
      1

        I didn’t know the kids before this, but I’m also impressed. I wanted to hug the little boy when he cried for his mom. The first ep was a little too long, but somehow I was really immersed in it that I forgave it, je.

No no no no NO! Don’t you dare do this to me, Show!

First, you throw Kim Sun-ho in my face w/o any warning (who else was pleasantly surprised to see Mr. Dimples on their screen?), and now you’re telling me that he likes our heroine??? I mean, DUH, but like, I had no idea he was second lead. I guess that’s what I get for watching on a whim. It’s both good and bad! This is gonna be bad. But so so good. You’re gonna hurt me so bad, Mr. Dimples! I just know it!

      Hahaha, RIGHT!? But like, it’s such a pleasant surprise because he’s just so good (looking). Heh. I stay updated, but man, his casting was definitely way too low key, man.

      Ahahaha! Yeah, there ya go! That’s a good takeaway. I bet you’ll still be surprised to see him when you do, though! He literally just pops outta nowhere! Lol.

Okay, LAST Dylan Wang post from me (for now). Was excited when I saw this. (Aspiring flight attendant, here!)

Can y’all imagine him as a flight attendant?

“Ma’am, you cannot keep going back here to talk to him. Or “sneak a peek” … Ma’am, everyone’s gone. You’re gonna have to get off the plane now. MA’AM.”

    Uhm, never too many DiDi pics thank you very much. And I’ve been tempted to do an MG spam since it finished so you’re making up for my lack of spam!!!!!

    The pictures of him as a flight attendant are kind of hilarious actually.
    Also if he kept that profession I imagine he’d be hit on a lot *lmao* *your scenario would happen. you know it would kekeke*

@sicarius CanNOT believe yo’ boi’s ONLY 19! Omg.

I guess I’m so used to Korean actors in their late 20s and early 30s playing high school students (lol, smh) that I was expecting Dylan to be in his 20s, at the least.

I was also surprised to find out the Meteor Garden characters were university students rather than high school. Thought that was a nice change… until I saw how childish Dao Ming Si was… curse his boyish charms! THAT smile!

    I mean if it makes any difference he’s 20 in December… hahahaha
    I thought it was more reasonable that they were in college. (I also think it’s more realistic to play older than it is to play younger sometimes. )

    His smile when his eyes turn into half moons is my favourite thing. It’s such a genuine joyful warmth inducing smile. Should probably have subfolders for Smile People tbh.

    [BTW I really love how much you’ve been on today. It makes me happy talking to you again x]

      Still a baby! <3
      And yeah, it’s a nice change from the usual hs dramas, but then I’m like, “Okay, WHY/HOW are they getting away with all this F4 red card nonsense if this is a university?” I feel like that kind of childish stuff/games makes sense in hs and below, but once you’ve reached college/university level, it’s like, c’mon man, grow up. Though I was relieved to find out that the receiver of the red card didn’t automatically mean they’d become a prey to bullying, but just a challenger to a game/battle of wits. Nice save, show.

      YES! Eye smiles are the best! I’m a sucker for ‘em! He has a beautiful smile! He’s so darn charming, omg.

      Aww~ Me too! I keep telling myself I need to get on more. I’m super duper happy I get to talk to you, too! 💖 Really, really (really really~)! 😏

      Honestly, you’re pretty much like the only one I’m talking to on here rn. 😅 Lawl.

        Oh I know *now just think, we’re 94 line… most of the Rabbit MG crew are many years our unnies Ching-yah ahaha)

        Are you really questioning the sanity of a) University students and b) Hana Yori Dango in any of its forms??? Tsk tsk 😂😂😂
        *you wouldn’t believe some of the stories I have about Uni students ahaha*
        Yeah the bullying was toned down in this version thankfully, probably due to China’s censorship laws I’ve heard, but in this case they were good thing.
        Also ironically I enjoyed the Bridge game. I play 500 and thus know enough about it to know what was going on and wanted the scene to be longer!!! lmao sometimes I think I’m not 24… kekeke

        Yes to all of that ofc. If I gush about smiles too much you’ll just get a puddle replying to you.

        Or else we need to revert to another medium. One or the other pffft.
        Oh really?? Have they all forgotten you!? Not good enough. They must know the Melona Queen’s harem. 😉

Happy HAPPY birthday, @sicarius! ☺️🎉🎊 It’s late (your time), but @obsessedmuch and I are still celebrating it! 😅 I hope you had a splendid day with your loved ones.

It’s funny because just the other day when we were talking again, I was gonna make a post about (how much I lurve) you, but never got to posting it. I can’t believe I missed your big day (August 31st, almost September baby!)! I’ll do better next year! 😁 Here’s the love post, anyways:

Talking to you again made me realized how much you mean to me. (I was seriously bummed thinking you were mad at me and thought how lonely I’d be if we didn’t talk anymore.) We can exchange novels forever and that’s not something I can have with just anyone. It’s always a blast talking with you. You make me smile and laugh and I’m so happy that we’re friends. Thanks for being my friend. 💞😊😘

      Pwahaha! Yeah, totally! They look super cute together, we’re super cute, so yes, we’re them! Lawl. (Omg, I can’t get enough of his smile in the first gif. *melts*)

      Well, I only thought it bc you didn’t reply to my comments, but I figured I was just being my usual dramatic and sensitive self, so I tried not to think much of it. Turns out I was right and you were just going through life and also too busy obsessing over DiDi.
      Omg! Awww~ did NOT expect that! Cảm ơn bạn! There’s one new word for ya! It means “friend”!

        Ah nooo those ones I forgot to reply to (not that there were many I don't think??) were … yeah as you know when sh*t was going down, and yes using DiDi as a coping mechanism x100 -you are so right pfffft!!!

OMG, so can we please talk/spazz (@13infamyss) about the previews for ep. 10 of Gangnam Beauty?

1. OMG OMG OMG HE SAID YES!!!??? He’s crazy. He’s outta his mind. I love it! (Side note: I just noticed that’s the kid that followed Mi-rae and her friend that one night!)

2. Poor Woo-young! Looks like he’s finally starting to make a move on Mi-rae… at the same time as Kyung-seok, though? Sigh. And I honestly thought he wouldn’t pursue Mi-rae since he’s technically her teacher and I’m sure there are rules against a TA dating their student, but I guess that’s a later problem for him to worry about.

3. OMG, our OTP prepping and primping themselves BC THEY’RE GOING TO BE WORKING TOGETHER?!? Ahhhhhhhh~! Such cuties!

4. AWWW @ Kyung-seok’s confession about being so happy (that he could possibly cry? Haha) that they’ve reunited. That’s sweet, and so like him. He’s such a sweet, precious boy.

Okay, so I won’t be able to actually discuss with you guys rn because I should really sleep since I have work in a few hours (don’t judge me), BUT just wanted to share my excitement for the next ep! I’m really happy I get to watch it later and not have to wait one whole week for the cuteness. May Kyung-seok continue to ignore Soo-a and convince Mi-rae to do the same bc girl’s just not gettin’ it. Begone! Shoo! Leave our awkward, love birds alone!

    1. Ohhhhhhhh!!!! Was he really?!!! @alasecond and I were talking about how the high school kid might be crushing on her and that’s why he claimed he’s the boyfriend to get this kid off his case! LOL But that would make sense now if he was the same stalker kid.

    2. I`m kinda bothered too at the fact that in this drama Woo Young is the TA and is liking Mirae hard. In the webtoon, he’s just someone a sunbae to them that pissed Kyungsuk off cuz he didn’t leave Mirae alone. While I appreciate that Woo Young has more story in this drama, a story about liking your student seems kind of like a taboo subject to touch upon. Anyways looking forward for more Kyungsuk the jelly hijinks then! hhahaha Also, it’s something noteworthy – Kyungsuk calls him “Woo Young hyung” now (used to be sunbae). He gets really comfy to people who show him compassion. Still waiting for the day he calls Kang Mirae, “Mirae-ya” xD

    3. LOL at them dressing up……….to go to work. Never thought going to work was this exciting. LMAO. I might have fangirl at the scene where Mirae spayed herself with perfume. And Kyungsuk raising his eyebrows at Woo Young with a smile on his face.. Ahhh…..

    4. TT________TT I might have teared up too when he said that. Why is he so precious. He’s really thankful of her entire existence and now that she’s becoming a big part of his life, he really treasures every single moment he has with her. Look at those smiles they had at the last screencap, pure gold. When did watching a bus ride scene get this so heartwarming? So happy that our male lead is so honest with his feelings, hopefully he confesses his feelings at the right time at the right moment very soon.

    For a 31 sec preview, there was so much to talk about???? JTBC, keep them coming! I can’t wait to see it later tonight with subs. I`m gonna stay off as much as possible from seeing Ep 10 spoilers, cuz I wanna spazz hard with English subs hahha. It’s past-3:00AM my time, and I`m still talking about this drama. Help. -____-

I was like, “I really need to sleep now… just after I get this post out and share my thoughts!” Omg, thanks for replying to every point! I’m about to leave for work again soon. I’m definitely gonna watch ep. 10 tonight and I’ll come back to reply to everything you wrote here and we’ll spazz/fangirl some more! Haha. And oh, ikr? I usually avoid watching previews, but since I didn’t have any more eps to watch, I figured why not. Anyways, avoid those spoilers! I’ll ttyl~!

        This drama bug bit us so hard, it’s tough to find cure. Not that I’d want to be cured to begin with. K, have fun at work and we def be spazzing on ep 10 after! I`m still waiting for subs, and I`m scared to visit fan walls right now cuz I want 0 spoilers on future episodes (well I do 100% entertain previews). Can’t wait to see it, ep 9 has been on repeat for hours now. TTYL!

      1. You’ve watched ep 10 by now, right? I’m sure you have! It’s the same stalker kid. I totally don’t buy Kyung-seok’s reasoning for calling himself Mi-rae’s bf simply bc he’s “not a girl(friend),” but a boyfriend… a friend who’s a boy. HA! Classic.

      2. You’ve read the webtoon?
      Woo-young’s awesome, but yeah, if he were to really date Mi-rae, they’d be tons of problems, but I feel like they’ll also be easy solutions like Mi-rae switching classes/teachers or have Woo-young move to another school. That’s a lot of work, so it’s best to just not do it, Woo-young. 😅 Poot thing.

      Oh wow, I didn’t even notice Kyung-seok calling Woo-young “hyung” until you said it! That’s so sweet! I love that Kyung-seok’s finally met and is surrounded by good people that love and care about him.

      4. I LOVE Kyung-seok’s honesty and straightforwardness! He’s the reason why I’m not worried about Soo-ah’s existence and her crazy ways. Whatever she does or say, it doesn’t sway him in the slightest and he most likely sees her true (evil) colors/intentions.

        1. Yep! And I`m still watching it…. over and over again. And yes so right, same kid. I don’t think any of us bought his excuse for calling himself boyfriend, not even Mirae lol. I love his face too when both of them got quiet and his facial expression got softer, looking proud for coming up with an excuse to be called boyfriend. lol. Mirae’s cute smile did not escape me either. She was so confused and abit upset that he was leading her on, but she looked happy, Kyungsuk protecting him and all!

        2. Yes, I’ve read the webtoon and still reading it too.. again and again TT____TT I`m hopeless. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I just hope this won’t become a talk in uni that somehow Woo Young and Mirae are an item. This is the least I should worry about. I don’t need another baseless rumour that involves Mirae…..

        Kyungsuk softens up with people who he knows are genuine. I honestly love seeing four of them hang out and having bbq party together. Kyungsuk has finally found a group of friends to hang with TT____TT

        3. Yeep, there’s only Mirae in his vision. Going back to Kyungsuk’s question to Mirae when they were locked up in the dept room – if Mirae didn’t misunderstand Kyungsuk in middle high, would they have been friends? I think they would. I can totally see Kyungsuk taking the initiative (just like he does now) to come talk to her and hang. Had there been Kyungsuk in Mirae’s life back in middle school, I don’t think her self-esteem would have been hitting an all time low. But then again, he would have moved still and leave her all by herself. Either way, they could still keep in touch and stuff. Ahhh~ my imagination is running wild again. Anyways, I`m glad too that they’ve met again and become so much close.

          I love seeing Kyung-seok smile to himself when he feels proud of himself–it’s super cute. Woo-young does the same thing too, actually. It’s just a really cute thing boys (and girls) do, I guess. Haha.

          Omg, you’re totally obsessed with this story! Is the webtoon in English?
          Ooh, now that you mention it, I totally think that’s gonna happen! I can totally imagine ppl (Soo-ah, ugh) finding out that Woo-young likes Mi-rae, spread it around, and ppl will harass Mi-rae for it. Omg, what if Woo-young gets fired??? Eeek! I’m with you–I don’t want Mi-rae hurt, but I think this is a possible scenario. OOH! But then that’s when Kyung-seok will confess that HE and Mi-rae are dating! HEE.

          YES, I love seeing all four of ’em hang out together even though I feel bad for Mi-rae’s bff bc she likes Woo-young. But it’s always amusing to see the boys be petty at each other.

          Awww, I would’ve loved to see Kyung-seok try harder to befriend Mi-rae back then. We only saw him take initiative once when he Be her if she was wearing perfume. She took his question the wrong way, and he didn’t even try to explain himself… he just let it go. Another time he/they could’ve talked was at the bus stop when he was watching her feet tapping/dancing. While Mi-rae was definitely in a really bad place back then, I think if just one person like Kyung-seok took initiative and talked to her and tried to befriend her, things could’ve been different. I don’t blame any of them, though. Like you, I’m just glad they’ve met again now. Better late than never is what I always say!

    And when Soo-ah confess to Mirae that she like Kyung Sook, it’s worry me. Mirae has low esteem and noble idiot DNA….

          Yeah… I was kinda bummed about that, but I’m okay w/ it bc I usually don’t watch previews anyways. I’m gonna try to continue to stay away from previews when they come out, so I can be surprised!

So like @sicarius have already said, WE FINALLY finished Project Moonlight! I say “we” because it was most definitely a team effort. Even though she completed the mission way before me. I wouldn’t have ever gotten it done if not for her. She teased, forced, and threatened encouraged me to finish what I started and I appreciate her for sticking to her guns and not let me take the easy way out. Thanks for being there from beginning to end, pal! As always! You always make the watching experience so much more enjoyable.

Speaking of which, I think I’m gonna stick to the old fashioned way of watching dramas–watch at my own pace, take screenshots, and share ‘em here with you guys, including my live reactions.

I LOVE Rabbit, but it was so distracting for me that I wasn’t able to focus and watch the show; I didn’t know what was going on the majority of the time. I told Sic I’d like to try using the mic next time ‘round (has anyone tried that yet?). I’ll hop in and out every now and then, but you guys will most likely see me spam the BEANIES section more. #sorrynotsorry

Goodnight from my part of the world! ‘Til next time! Beanie bunny OUT!

    Sorry this post is so long (but what else is new)! I just always have so much to say… sigh.

    Big thank you to everyone that joined in on Project Moonlight (you happy now, Sic? Geez) <—- official title, btw. Even just as much as you could–you guys made it so much fun!

      I am wondrously happy hahahahahah
      You’re welcome for all the prodding ofc, any time you need me I am here to prod some more hahaha jk jk I love you really 😉 and I am VERY proud of you for finally finishing it. I’m a stubborn old thing and often just want to push these things out of spite (plus it was FUN)
      THANK YOU FRIEND SLEEP WELL

    👏👏👏👏👏👏 Well done, chingu! And @sicarius for holding out for so long waiting for chingu! 😉
    I was distracted during the rabbit watch… sorru about that. I wasn’t home but know my heart was there! 💕💕💕 It was fun reading your comments more than watching the drama. And also, yea ok maybe Bo gummy’s face kinda made me stay.. LOL. But you already know that right?? P.S I love you guys! Really. 😉💕💕

      Honestly I think I might have more fun WRITING comments than watching dramas if I keep this up hahaha- although like Chingu said I find it distracting to type and watch at the same time so maybe I’d only use rabbit in rewatches idk.

      1
      1

        I was worried about that. But I guess it depends on the drama and/or the number of people watching. See, I watched to. Jenny with 3 others and that was fine. We were chatting but we knew what was going on. Same with AYHT. It was just me and Bams and Ally popped in as well. So it wasn’t too distracting.
        With Project Moonlight (jeez) there were too many of I at the start haha

        1
        1

          Definitely drama and people dependent for sure haha.

          Except for Project Moonlight (what what’s wrong with that name HUH? HUH? haha) both Chingu and I were barely invested so we were distracted for other reasons lmaoooo

          1
          1

            Such a mouthful! Lol.
            Yeah probably why! You just wanted to finish it haha. No one said you had to concentrate and understamd what was going on. That wasn’t part of the deal! Right @chingu? 😉

            1
            0

    Hahaha, the mic.. oh gosh. None of us have really used it, but there was an interesting event where a non-Beanie crashed our room and used it.

    And totally get the distracted part! I think that’s the joy in watching things you’ve already seen, and listening to music. You can multi-task a little better. 🙂 Glad to see you had fun, though!

    1
    1

      Omg! How’d that go? I was afraid of opening the room to the public because of that exact reason.
      I just wanna hear @sicarius’ kiwi accent! 😁😁😁
      It’d be so cool to hear everyone’s voices! Plus, it might be less distracting??? I can still watch the screen and talk at the same time. It’ll be more similar to a rl buddy watch. Maybe?

      Definitely will hop in and out every now and then for rewatches and/or music. That sounds fun and doable. Thanks so much, bammsie!

        XD Let me.. grab a link.

        That’s true! It could definitely be misused, but considering it started out as a way to allow friends to watch in real-time together, the mic makes so much sense!

        I’m glad you like it! 🙂 It started out as such a small suggestion, I’m glad we’re getting some cool uses out of it.

        1
        1

          Oh, can you still obtain the link of the room/conversation even after you’ve ended it?

          It’s definitely such a game changer! I remember before Rabbit, Beanies were just scheduling to watch dramas together, but like, still separately and on their own time, y’know? Now we can literally all watch the same thing at the same time, TOGETHER! It’s beautiful.

          1
          1

            Nope, you can’t! But I wrote a gif story about it to document the occasion. DB’s been wonky so I’ve been having a hard time going through my fanwall.

            Definitely!! Oh my gah, we watched the latest AYHT episode yesterday FOUR times.

            (Definitely not obsessed. at all.)

OKAY, YOU GUYS, IT’S HAPPENING.

Project Moonlight is a GO and I’m planning to watch the very last episode of Moonlight Drawn By Clouds on Rabbit starting around 11-11:30 PM EST.

Come see me make history as I finally finish watching the show after two long years. Big thanks to @sicarius because without her, I definitely would’ve just kept this drama on the shelf for who knows how much longer. Also making this a “big HOOHA” because of her, so yeah, bear with me as I wrap up this whole project and think twice before committing to another project (with Sic, lol).

Roll call extended to: @ally-le, @ravennightstar, @bammsie (bc I know he’s your Ultimate Bread and you can hop in to marvel at Bogummy’s face, if anything. Hehe), and @crysta (I know you said you left off on ep 12 or 14, but hey, I won’t judge if you decided to just watch the finale and say you’ve watched the whole darn drama! My lips are sealed!).

As for the rest, please feel free to join in or just stop by to say hello! Hope to see everyone there!

    I will be there! And I’m so excited you’re finally finishing this!

      Aww, where’s your internet?

      “I’d feel guilty even to a bad drama to just skip entire episodes.” Lol! Same, same. I know exactly what you mean. Well, I finally finished it and it definitely feels nice to know it’s crossed off my list forever. Haha.

        I usually go to the library or the university to get internet. It’s too expensive to have it at home but it does put a cramp on kdrama marathoning.

        Woohoo! Sometimes checking it off the list feels better than having actually watched it lol

Lol, so apparently, I\’m like, at the end of ep 17 of Moonlight Drawn By Clouds, which is literally the second-to-last ep. WHY DIDN\’T I FINISH THIS SHOW SOONER??? @sicarius

Funny, but spoiler-y story in the comments! (Don’t click if you haven’t watched the show and want to! But then again, who else besides me still hasn’t seen the show [and actually want to?])

    I warned you…

    So anyways, after realizing I’ve already watched all of ep 16 and the majority of ep 17, I started skipping around and when Kwak Dong-yeon’s character got killed, I was like, “OMG NO THAT’S RIGHT HE DIED,” *skips some more* *sees him again but this time he’s alive and talking to Bogummy* “OMG THAT’S RIGHT HE DIDN’T DIE HE’S STILL ALIVE!” Talk about messin’ with my emotions, man.

    Okay, maybe not as funny to you as it was to me. You had to be there. Basically, I’m a mess and I’m so glad I’ve only got 1 more ep to watch. Project Moonlight has been LONG OVERDUE.

    5
    2

      *face palms* you have ONE EPISODE LEFT. Good grief girl. *you are the source of endless amusement and frustration to me* *:P 😛 😛 :P*
      Wait did you physically skip around or did you skip forward in the show…
      NO SKIPPING alloWED! 😉
      And yeah don’t worry I totally get it because I LIVE REACTED to the last to episode of this show ON MY WALL and all the beanies were laughing at me hahaha

      2
      1

        Lol! Yeah, I know, omg, I’m such a mess. This is what happens when I stop watching a show and then try to come back to it 8 years later.

        No, no! I skipped around ep 17 because I recognized all the scenes and then realized “Oh shoot, I’m almost done with this ep. I’ve only got one more!” There’s only 18, right? For some reason, I’m seeing different ep counts on diff websites…

        HA, I’m so glad you get it bc I thought it was funny bc I wasn’t spoiled bc I knew (in the back of my mind) that he was still alive, but I forgot and was like going all sorts of places. And omg, it’s like when I was live reacting to Moorim School (omg, lol, weren’t those the days?) and was shipping the other two like crazy and then found out they were siblings and you and everyone was like, “Yeah, we told you not to do that.” Lol

        1

          Hahahaha awww I loved your Moorim School days ahahaha
          you do always ship the wrong people don’t you… do you always do this? pfft
          Yes it was much like that for me for ML- I knew he “died” but didn’t know that he came back hahahaha

          1
          2

            Me too! Those were the days. It was so much fun! And once again, YOU made it so much better because you went through it with me from beginning to end!

            HA, I don’t. Just sometimes. I rarely have SLS, really. The second lead must really be some sort of special for me to feel for them.

            In my case, I knew he died and I knew he comes back, but I just forgot. Haha.

    I’m stuck at like episode 12 or 14?? I have no idea. It’s one of those I don’t really care for it at all but I keep thinking maybe something will change my mind in the next episode…and then it doesn’t. Now I’m like I’ve come so far not to finish it…eventually…

    1
    1

      Omg, that’s EXACTLY how I feel about this drama! At this point, I really don’t care for it, but because I’m so close to finishing, I might as well just finish it!

      It also doesn’t help that I’ve been in a serious drama slump for the longest time now and I keep dropping dramas left and right. It’s extra hard for me to pick up this particular drama for some reason though. Actually, I think it’s mostly because of Kim Yoo-jung, if I’m being honest. Idk, I never shipped her with Bogummy. I know that shouldn’t be important, but this is a darn rom-com, so I think it is.

      The trick is when you pick it back up again, just keep watching–pull a marathon, because if you stop, you might not come back to it… ever.

      But anyways, I found out that I actually only have one more ep left to watch, so you bet I’m gonna just finish it up so I can cross it off my list! I’m gonna try to watch on Rabbit later tonight.

      1
      1

        I really don’t like Kim Yoo-jung’s character (I liked the actress in Angry Mom so I don’t think it’s her fault). I love the three boys, but I already know they don’t really focus on them in future episodes and one has a tragic ending. Maybe if I hadn’t read the recaps first, it would have been easier?

        1
        1

          I agree, she was good in Angry Mom. She’s a good actress, but she’s so blah as Ra-on. She’s just… there. I also don’t think she has romantic chemistry with Bo-gum.

          And omg, yes! Haha. But then again, if you’ve already read all the recaps for the show, then you’ve practically “seen” it and you don’t have to watch it! You know how it starts and ends. Haha.

          1
          1

            I really blame the writing. The writer made her so ditzy and blah. I thought she would be smarter and tougher with her life experiences.

            Watching is still such a different experience. I’ve read more recaps than watched kdramas but only cause I have more time to read than to watch lol I still watch the good ones but I have been saved in watching some lemons. I guess I thought MDBC wasn’t all that bad? Sometimes the recaps are better than the drama.

The site’s SO MUCH easier to navigate than I’ve imagined. Omg, this is such a game changer. Now all I need is TIME to watch everything with everyone.

So my mom’s coworker gave us a box full of turtle chips after finding out we paid $5+ per bag at the Korean market. I think her husband stocks the merchandise for a korean market so he gets ‘em for cheaper.

Anyways, thought I’d share since I told you guys about my newfound love for turtle chips. She was actually the one that gave us our first bag of turtle chips to try a few days ago. It’s so nice of her and her husband to do that, though.

I think we’ve got enough turtle chips to last for the next 6 months to a year. Lol.

    Are they potato chips? What’s the closest describable flavour?

      They’re like corn chips. They’re crispy, but also fluffy. Kinda sweet, kinda savory. Very good.

      It really was! My mom gave her one of her old diamond rings. I was like, “WHAT.” Lol! She said it’s old and small (my mom has like, size 3 or 4 in rings) so we (my sisters and I) can’t fit it. She said it wasn’t just because she gave the chips, but because she’s just genuinely a good person, which makes me happy that my mom has such good people in her life.

Okay, speaking of how hot and cute Park Bo-gum is (yes, I know, kinda talking to myself, here, but c’mon! We all think that, no?), CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT HOW EXTRA CUTE AND FIONE HE’S BEEN LOOKING LATELY WITH HIS LONG HAIR???

    Who else is excited for his drama comeback with SONG HYE-KYO!?! Omg. Okay, so I love her, and I’m gonna be all over this couple, but I do think it’s kinda weird that they’re pairing up as a romantic couple since they’re so close irl and they’ve got this bffs/siblings relationship irl, but it’s fine, I guess. Still excited!
