Beanie level: Rooftop room dweller

“It was a dark and stormy night” is an often-mocked and parodied phrase considered to represent “the archetypal example of a florid, melodramatic style of fiction writing”, also known as purple prose. Wikipedia

Mr. Oblivious here only now realized that the opening scene of Hospital Playlist Season 1 was exactly that – a dark and stormy night. A lovely joke.

Mine – wow/gee, what a way to roll out the commonest trope in murder mysteries. With a tiny variation…

    Nope
    Not really.
    It won’t be surprising if Min seol A comes back to life😂

Mine Ep 6: wow, that was a cheap badly done special effect! Can’t believe they couldn’t do better.

Here’s My Plan- hmmm. This looks like my first Anti-Candy Candy drama, if you can tell what I mean.

    I liked the first episode. I love Kim Hwan-Hee since Beautiful World and When the Weather is Fine.

      I liked it too. It’s a different set up – I’m not sure how the story will go.

      Episode 2 has its moments, too.

NetFlix popped a drama called “My Only Love Song” into my suggested for… list. It seems to involve Ondal and Princess Pyeonggang (the supposed main characters in River Where the Moon Rises) and a time traveling actress. I was just wondering if any Beanies had seen both dramas, and would be willing to comment on which one is a better drama?

    If I remember correctly, My Only Love Song is very silly but lots of fun and now completely ruined by the male lead, who was a part of Burning Sun.

    It’s silly and fun, with a magic time-travelling van. I think it’s also short, so it’s an easy watch.

    Nothing like RIVER.

    I have not seen it myself but my wife started it and found it confusing. However she was also watching PRINCESS WEIYOUNG at that time so it may be that she just had something better to watch.

V- Conclusion to the first vault adventure was just perfect. Laugh out loud perfect.

So, the writer is going to find a way to squeeze a romance into a murder mystery? and take out the dead bodies when the writer is known for dead bodies? Is he, perhaps, just maybe, writing Penthouse 2???!!!

Why the blankety blank do light weight fluffy dramas include one or more utterly psychotic/murderous secondary characters?

Vincenzo – what are the chances that the stuff Vincenzo wants to grab is actually there? Or do we get a really surprised look on V’s face?

    It’s still there. They showed it and the monk feels a buddha is present.

    Yup! I’ve been thinking this too! What if he finally opens the vault to find its all gone? LOL

The Accidental Couple

Pressed play … I have not seen any of his other works, but Hwang Jung-min is a wonderful actor!

    He’s really really good. If you like crime/gangster movies, New World is a much watch. A Violent Prosecutor and Ode to My Father are also really good.

      New World is up there in my favorite movies. It was part of my Lee Jung-jae binge and left me staring into space of a while trying to wrap my head around.

        Honestly such a great film! Although, for me, Lee Jung-jae was overshadowed in this one by Hwang Jung-min and Park Sung-woong.

        I really really loved LJJ in Assassination. I think that’s the best movie performance of his that I’ve seen (IMO), although The Face-reader is really good as well.

    Accidental Couple is one of my most favorite shows EVER! I hope you enjoy it!
