It isssss, and I’m dying. The next ep’ll be out in about 30 min (raw) and I CANNOT WAIT.

Lol, tbh sometimes I wish I could binge-watch the show too, but then I think about how fun it is to theorise while waiting for new eps. I certainly wouldn’t have written so many comments about the show if I’d just binge-watched it in a day or two lol. But then, I also want to know the ending right now. ’tis a struggle, my fellow beanie, ’tis a struggle.

4 including Eun Seo! (But to be fair I imagine she’d spend half her time at her dad’s place.)

GOS is love..
precious babies yoo seung ho, lee hyun woo, ko ah sung and jiyeon

Tbh I wasn’t thinking about one drama’s ML in particular when I wrote that lol, it’s just something I’ve realised about myself throughout the years. Like I know there are ML’s who’ve behaved this way which I’ve loved, but the more I try to think of one to give as an example the more they all seem to blur together! Lol this is what happens when you binge-watch too many dramas.

Thank you! And honestly, please do, especially if you’ve been bothered by dry eyes lately. I’m lucky my poor corneas’ state was caught early, I shudder to think what might’ve happened if it’d just gone unnoticed.

Thanks for the reminder! I’m taking eye care so much more seriously now gah. Lol, this is why there’s a saying in my home country that goes ‘one disaster works better than a thousand warnings’.

More like an angry minute, lol. It just drives me nuts when I see kids who don’t have the slightest bit of respect for their parents, let alone other hard-working adults. Like, the type of spoilt-rotten teenagers you just wanna send to the country for a month so they’ll realise unpaid hard work is a thing and nobody in the world is actually obligated to treat you like royalty.

…Or, to put my sensitivity on the issue under the spotlight, I’m someone who grew up loving my parents to bits, and it hurts my soul when I see kids break their parents hearts over nothing.

Didn’t miss them! That’s why I specifically said ‘almost no ship wars’ and ‘most main love lines being pre-decided’; I was referring to those incidents in particular as well as a few similar occurrences in weekend kdramas (though to be honest the APAD production team admitting they changed the main loveline is news to me, but it makes sense considering).

That said, I only subtly referenced said incidents in my post because they’re still pretty rare when compared to what happens most of the time: the loveline being decided early on, the fandom being informed prior to broadcast, and the writers sticking to that ship till the end.

My point, and what I love about kdrama, is that since the main loveline does happen as planned 98% of the time, kdrama fandoms are usually a much more pleasant experience when compared to, for example, (and this is what I was thinking of when I mentioned conspiracy hysterics) the state of several shounen manga fandoms such as Bleach, Naruto, etc. post epilogue.

Oh my days, yes. Like, I’m here making back-ups of my back-ups for my invoices like a responsible adult but ya’ll can’t do one copy+paste of the video file proving who the murderer is???

So true! Ugh, the best kdramas are really the ones that hit you with the truth right where it hurts.

Slightly off-topic but legit, I feel like that’s why Pinocchio is forever my #1. So many hard truths hit home in that drama, but I will never forget that scene when a distraught Dal-po was faced with the memory of his own righteous rant about how careless reporting can destroy people’s lives. I mean, I love scenes like that in any form of media, where you’re given a double message. Like, how everyone needs to be so careful with what they say about others– and yet, how even the best of us, even those who know just how awful the fallout from a false accusation can be, are still capable of making such mistakes. Chills man. Chills.

Also yo, dramabeans needs to consider making drama life lessons a thing lol. I could easily 100 examples being posted!

😂 Great beanies think alike! Omd tho, this is not doing good things to my self-control… At least tell me it was an absolutely useless purchase made on impulse with no benefits whatsoever? In other words, just how well can you hear thru hoovering? Tell me more. Convince me, please!!

I keep imagining this kindly old man, with wrinkles and glasses and a very mild tone, shuffling out to the balcony in the middle of the night, leaning over and calling out to a bunch of masked people trying to scale the gates, “I apologise. I’m aware you would expect me to call the police. But young master doesn’t like being in the press. You understand, I’m sure.”

And at first, they all laugh, because here’s this crazy old man who’s just gonna stand by and let them get away with B&E.

…And then one of them gets knocked out with the blunt end of a flying steak knife.

(He couldn’t possibly have used the crockery, you understand. The porcelain bowls alone have been in the family for at least three generations.)
