Beanie level: Errand boy

The swoon and the cute and the dimples. Damn! What a freaking adorable punch is Lovely Runner. Serial killer or whatever I stare at them with heart eyes 😍😍

I must be the ONLY ONE who is desperate for QoT to end. And I don’t mean it in a nice way.

Catching up with QOT. How can someone who has been with a family for 20 years turn out to be the main villain? 🤔 that would be the longest acting ever!

    I am also curious on what made her hate the Hongs so much that she needed to do this long con on the family. Because they closed down the orphanage? Or just because they are filthy rich?

Doctor Slump was a tad 4 episodes too long but that being said it is still my fav PSH drama. It was the first time I didn’t hate the character she was playing.

I am really confused about QoT. Is it a romcom, satire, comedy or plain ass horrendous? I managed to finish ep1 and thank god I did because I would not have pressed ep2 if not for that last line.

    romcom clearly 😀 .. i like the cast and how they are playing their characters…

    not the drama to ponder over plotholes.. its romcom.. have fun.. they will fall in love, she will come to know that he actually was looking forward to her death so then she will distance herself and he will chase to woo her back…

    in the meantime.. girlfriend in law and mommy + aunt drama is another level of fun

    *************************
    is there a reason KDY’s wife doesn’t want to get photographed/appear in public — some history that will come out?

    girlfriend in law will ask to get registered in the family book right? But, i have a feeling she may not actually turn out to be bad…

    I saw the wedding pictorial that the production had released, and I don’t like her dresses from there, either 😢

      I agree! Too much happening in the bodice area in all 3 dresses!

        How the fabric fold under her arm for the strapless dress bugs me immensely. One could tell that it’s badly tailored and badly fitted to her, and makes the whole thing feel like they just pulled a random dress off the rack for her to wear just for this pictorial, and not that it was thoughtfully planned out ahhhhh

      So just to ensure your “full” enjoyment,  tvN has kindly “gifted viewers with a heart-fluttering wedding pictorial.

      Er, … are they seriously expecting us to say “Good Job” and pat their heads. 😭

          I said ‘no’ to the dress repeatedly during the wedding scene and the shots of their wedding photos. I need someone to gif the way her bodice and her boobs moved independently of each other during the processional. 🤭

          The only dress I don’t mind is the strapless satin with the asymmetrical neckline, and that barely rises to the level of ‘just OK.’ Also, her tiaras seem to be crooked in some of the photos on Soompi.

          At least we didn’t have cringey speeches and songs. I’d rather see dresses that miss the mark instead of that any day!

            It felt like one boob was held up and the other was left to free float in the other badly fitted cup 🤣 Even in the skirt you could see the outline of the underskirt!

            And yes that tiara in the pictorial photo was just perched up on her head like an afterthought by the costume department!

    I almost made a comment about not having seen shows that show a wedding as a final ending in a kdrama for some time now in the new shows that have aired thus far. And then I saw the pictures online and I was happy I didn’t, although it was a true observation as I watched an older show, JI. So any dress it’s ok with me. 🤣 I don’t know about watching the actual show after reading some beanies here.

    Looking at this still, I don’t care for the dress–it’s too busy. But I will say that in the context of those scenes I was struck more by the lovely embroidery on the skirt than the mess that is the bodice.

JJS eats up any scene that he is on so pairing him with someone with SSK’s acting caliber is quite disenchanting.

        I was replying to you while thinking of Queen of Divorce and wondering why you were mentioning the age gap 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ (so if you are wondering what the deleted message was, that was it)

        So the very few scenes that I have seen on social media, the first thing that bothered me was not the age gap. I didn’t think about it. It was more how expressive JJS’s eyes were and how he used his voice to change the mood… and how she was doing fuck all to match the energy… like girl, do something! There are pebbles out there with a greater acting range!

Marry my Husband ep 13 & 14 thoughts:

1. Why get in the way of a couple who is in love? ‘I stole my fiancée’ He was never yours woman!
2. I wonder what those poor secretaries of evil characters do in their spare times. Light people on fire but solo?
3. That blurry upper lip is so distracting! Not criticising her looks but her makeup choice.
4. Are we supposed to think that JiWon and JiHyuk haven’t done the deed as yet and acting all coy and shy spending the night together? Ugh!
5. I like the JiWon SoMin showdown scene.
6. I want more SoMin scenes.
7. Why does it always have to be red heels?
8. I can’t keep up with the ‘transfer of fate’ anymore.
9. Was waiting for that kick in the groin thing to happen during that choking scene. Missed Judo training utilisation me thinks.
10. What will happen in the next 2 episodes?

    I have no watched it… I don’t really feel like it either. This was the weakness of the webtoon for me: Ji-won’s story was resolved too early.
    In the webtoon, they try to pad up differently, but it is quite unengaging (I gave up on the webtoon after 40+ episodes… or 50-ish? can’t remember) Now in the drama, they just invented an unnecessary ex to unlock a new sense of irritating boredom that nobody knew existed.

    The few scenes that popped up on social media convinced me to stay away from it. So, perhaps this is a sign to go and rewatch BTS Run to keep it with Ji-won and Ji-hyuk’s initial connection. We’ll be drawing blue hearts and kitten faces all over the screen, it’ll be fantastic and so much more entertaining than what the non-revenge-revenge-plot-with-gaping-holes of MMH is turning out to be. I’m almost certain we can get some ham acting in BTS Run too and weird pink outfits, pretty sure they can do just as well as BoA without even trying. Anyway, I’ll get us matching onesies. Who’s in? Bring the popcorn!

We have seen plenty of villains in our time and none has made me as mad as this girl! The audacity for her to feel that Ji Won will forgive her after everything is beyond me.

‘I thought she will come to me…’
‘She always did even when she was mad…’

I feel so bad for past Ji Won. But as the harabuji Chairman said ‘don’t blame your feet for stepping on crap’ also says a lot.

          Apart from the tightly permed hair I proudly check ALL boxes.

          The lack of permed hair is not due to lack of efforts. Two separate botched efforts by “professional” hairdressers made me wary.

          2
          1

            I love the thought of you going to a hairdresser and asking for an ajumma perm. Sorry to hear about the botched efforts though. I hope they didn’t damage your hair.

            Loose perm would be the only box I could tick so far. Unfortunately, the ajumma is tightly perm. It’s not even permed on my end. My hair has a mind of its own. I haven’t yet figured out what to do with it or how to tame it (currently floating somewhere around my skull with weird curly bits that are almost parallel to the ground and look like I’ve glued a nest of snakes to my head — I’ve met hedgehogs that were more elegant)

            Ok, if I’m honest with myself, I might have the comfortable shoes (I work from home, you can’t get more comfortable than socks), stretchy outfit and matching optional (skinny jeans are definitely comfy and stretchy, and given that mos too my clothes are patterned nothing goes together), vest (yes, and then 12 jumpers on top because always cold), a visor (not quite, but does any type of hat count too? I’ve got a random collection, including a crocheted viking helmet that I wear with great pride and absolutely no sense of fashion whatsoever — my elderly neighbour is not a fan)

            After careful considerations, it sounds like we could go as a pair of mismatched weird wanna be ajummas for Halloween. Ah no wait! I did propose last time. I brought the Nutella sandwich, I popped the question, you gave me the ring, I ate the sandwich; best proposal ever. So we could be the Valentine’s ajummas.

          My hair is naturally wavy and I thought it would look more posh and sophisticated in a perm. The first hair disaster left me with only a quarter of the length of my original hair which took 2 1/2 years to grow back. Obviously, I didn’t learn anything from Einstein’s fake definition of “Insanity” and a few more years down the line tried the same thing with another even more expensive hairdresser, expecting different results. The difference this time was that the hair thickness was reduced one-sixth.

          I love, love, love your “crocheted viking helmet“. I too would wear it with pride, if I had one. My “visor” is my umbrella (I can’t stand in the sun), a scarf wrapped around my head, followed by a cotton cap and then a woolen cap with as many colorful and mismatched pom-poms as possible which I attach myself.

          YES, I will love to be the Valentine ajhumma and hang out with you. ❤

      I said it sometime earlier in the episodes that Marry My Husband is the drama that made me take particular interests in Song Ha-yoon and actually come to know that she has massive acting experience under her belt. She’s good. Too good.

      I’m supposed to dislike her character. I do dislike and hate the character. But I have to give her the respect she deserves. She’s(Song Ha-yoon) perfect.

        She makes PMY’d acting look a bit weak. There are scenes where I am thinking why is PMY just randomly smiling now to look pretty. Doesn’t help she is dressed like

        While this woman is just being so openly vulnerable and honest about how low she went.

            Lol. yes. She is a romcom actor and a good one at that.

            You can still feel she is PMY in almost all her projects. The only time I think she did a great job was in When the Weather is Fine, but I’m not sure if that has to do more with the ensemble.

            4
            0

            But just to be clear, I think she is a “reliable” actress in terms of ratings: Who won’t want her in their projects if a certain number of viewership is guaranteed? I think she is also beautiful.

            5
            0

            No need to hide. We all know that. She does only one type of acting. But that doesn’t mean she’s not believable in the role. She just always plays the same kind things, so I guess the only challenge (when she doesn’t decide to replace acting range with extreme dieting) is remembering her character’s name in each drama.

          I was put off by PMY’s character’s random smiles. I was like “Why? Does it serve a purpose?”. Sigh. Watching her, I missed those actresses who can do microexpresssions well and don’t mind being less pretty to play the character. In real life, being able to smile when speaking is a lovely trait but only at the right moments. The way PMY speaks (how her lips move) is also a little too mannered. Maybe it’s just her natural feature but it doesn’t help her in acting.

Wow SooMin is just pure evil. I wonder how she sleeps at night! Probably soundly since she thinks she can do nothing wrong.

That hair pulling scene was everything! Go Ji Won!!

    Well… Yes. She’s one evil mean manipulative cow bitch face.

    But it is her point in the story. She has to be evil, and somehow, she does point out that Ji-won let her become and stay that way (which is incredibly self-aware of her and, while it is shameless af, it is also true).

    I find she is gorgeously portrayed. All the little tantrum-esque evil touches and the fake charming!

    I’m still not convinced by Min-hwan. He just seems like such a feeble and insignificant obstacle to me… which is why I need even more of Soo-min because she has to be openly evil for 2 right now. The girl is working overtime!

      I don’t know what two women saw in Him! I wish they wrote him to be competent at work and manipulative and abusive on the sly. Right now there is nothing about it that makes him a man who two women fell for.
      Also the actor – I am so used to his comedic chops I can’t take him seriously.

        I need to check the webtoon for more info on his character. He doesn’t have that predatoriness about him that I expected from the synopsis. But he does have plenty of charm and we clearly see that he’s done his research on how to seduce women (assuming he was 8 when he did said research and never re-evaluated his findings)
        I’m surprised that his technic works, but perhaps only on Ji-won who didn’t know any better then and on Su-min who wants everything that Ji-won has…

        1
        1

          If you notice him, every time Ji Won says anything he doesn’t like. he berates her or puts her down subtly. He intentionally took advantage of her naive nature

    Except Flowers in Sand, I haven’t watched any kdrama since. I can’t bring myself to watch any shows without thinking about LSK. Sad part is that I don’t expect anything to change. It will just be another life lost.
    I think how I view dramas/actors definitely has changed. I don’t know if it will spark the joy it used to. Atleast not in the next coming weeks.
    I have always been someone who never watched BTS, interviews, reality shows of actors, followed them on social media etc. I never cared about their personal life. For me a drama was just a drama (unless someone committed a huge crime esp sexual assault and beanies talk about it on the wall, I would never know otherwise. Then I will choose my dramas wisely).
    But this hits different. Every time i see an actor, I feel like ‘What are these people going through to find this fame?’

    3

      Exactly! I feel everything you have said! The price of fame is just too much of a burden to carry in SK. Who else are we going to lose forever like this? My head hurts.
