Omg… why are they so ungyeonsu coded omg……………….. That second lead hasn’t showed up yet I couldn’t care less omg you’re not gonna even be in the picture I’m so sorry
What is it with Shin Hyunbeen that just reminds me so much of Yoona and the other way around like their voices is so similar or maybe the way they talk? idk WHAT
Not gonna think about that preview for last ep, but truly out of everything what makes me the happiest is Yijoo my baby being able to use the word ‘Mom’ like a normal person does, let me cryyyyyyyyy
This drama is on jet fuel; it did more in the first ten minutes than most dramas can do in sixty!! 🔥 People doing stuff, revealing stuff, and asking the right questions – Love it!!
Every week (but no more, sniff 😢) PMR reminds me how satisfying it is when people actually solve their problems in dramas. More doing! Less misunderstanding! I’m going to miss it. 😪
💯!!! Doesn’t PMR feel like it was written by someone who loves dramas and wanted to show there’s another way to construct them? Someone who wanted to prove watchability and entertainment don’t depend on dragging things out interminably.
PMR feels like if someone who has only written KBS weekend drama their entire career suddenly being asked to write a miniseries, not 20, not 16 but 12 episodes which turns out.. works like magic!
Such fun. Have a plot point. Solve it. Move on to next. Pack in as much as you can. No stretching the 2-3 plot points for the “entire” drama only to magically “solve” it 5 mins before rolling end credits.
Bruh I’m not even kidding I’m trying to watch Tell Me You Love Me now and I can’t even get past half an hour because I kept taking screenshot of Jung Woosung……. I can’t concentrate at all????
Like I swear I did not loudly giggles everytime he came on screen intensely staring at Shin Hyunbeen. The fact that he didn’t speak makes it much worse because he has to relies on eye acting uhhh *fans self*
Also…. where do I need to sign to start the campaign where Kim Yoojung and Kim Sohyun reunite in a sageuk with adult roles……. like how is this not happening already…..
Anywayysss seeing that we\’re about to get Guwon\’s joseon demon origin, I can\’t wait to see Kim Yoojung in sageuk! Bcs there\’s no way in hell (pun intended) we\’re not getting past lives connection lol
So it\’s not contract marriage demon, contract marriage makjang, contract marriage sageuk I\’m watching, it\’s contract marriage fantasy chaebol drama 1 2 3 cryyy. I love each so much tho <3
Rewatched Love All Play last night because I need more Chae Jonghyeop (and smh personally for me… Castaway Diva lacks of… Oomph) and realized Park Juhyun should\’ve gotten more recognition for it
I didn’t quite appreciate it when I watched it week by week probably because of the pace getting laggy on the 2nd half (what’s new) but I think Park Juhyun really breath life and dimension to her character which can easily be portrayed as self-pitying and borderline unreasonable character. She had SO many great scenes but particularly the one where she broke down after spending the night with Taejun saying “Thank you for loving me” BRUUUHH MY HEAAARRRTTTTT. I think this one’s Park Juhyun’s best project acting-wise to date
THIS! Gem of a drama, but I especially liked the way she portrayed her character with dimension, as well as the dynamic between the two. GOSH, now I’m inspired to go rewatch!
I love that drama so much, and wish more people had access to it (it’s one of the few Disney+ dramas that hasn’t made it to Hulu). CJH is excellent in it and his character is one of the most wonderful MLs of all time. The story gets dragged down by excessive angst and one of the most annoying mothers ever, but CJH sells it all the way through. He’s really good in “Unlock My Boss,” too. I think someone posted about CJH seeming a little green in “Castaway Diva” and I truly do not see that at all. Plus, he has amazing forearms 🙂
With you on everything you said!! One of the most memorable MLs for sure, and the greenest of green flags. Couldn’t recommend it more, I think it had me writing like massive essays on essays in the recap comments when it was airing 😂
I honestly don’t think it’s his acting that’s lacking in Castaway Diva, in fact I think both PEB and CJH made it work. I just think the writer didn’t really give him much to work with as Bogeol because…. he’s….. overly…. green flag that it……………… falls flat…………………… somehow for me…
Can\’t believe I\’m watching F1\’s last race of the season and PMR and it\’s PMR that\’s making me cheer aloud idk if that\’s the testament of how awful this season was or how good PMR is
I rarely cheer aloud… but given the choice, PMR rather than F1. I still fail to see the flipping point of building fast cars that nobody except a few drivers can use to go very fast in a circle. Wae?!
She’s sort of similar. She’s a little more of a villain in some webtoon scenes, in others she seems to be more vulnerable (which she would be, given everything she went through with her evil mother). But in the webtoon like in the drama, she still chooses the evil side every single time 🤦🏻♀️
I think the thing with PMR\’s makjang that is so addicting is that instead of hitting the character with truck of doom, they hit the audience with truck of facts and backstory we need to keep up with
I mean (SPOILER ALERT) we knew the real mommy thing was coming but instead of exhausting us with a build-up which literally everyone knows but the characters like how makjang usually is, the character pointed out the obvious and actually asked the right question. I knew chef mommy plot was coming but boooy would I never thought Yijoo straight up asks her. And with the new information that chef mommy KNOWS, that splits-second plays with us as to why she didn’t find her and creates new curiosity then it goes on and on and on. Can’t believe something THAT obvious kept me at the edge of my seat
YES that’s the perfect description!!! White truck of facts!!! I love the pacing of the reveals – it’s so, so satisfying. Other dramas could learn from PMR!!
I don’t think I have ever watched anything with this kind of “reveal-a-week” format. Definitely a trend I could get behind. Waiting for Do-guk’s time traveling reveal now and maybe the evil step mom too … 🤣
I mean good thing is the mood and visual are very different for each so it’s nice. It was pain in the a** when I encountered something like this when I watch My Country and Tale of Nokdu, literally couldn’t remember which was which lmao
Idk who remembers the shitshow that was Super Daddy Yeol but dang can\’t believe fetus Lee Re out-act both leads and her chemistry with both Lee Yuri and Lee Donggun were sooo goood
Gotta give it to them tho the small moments and the emotional scenes were so well acted even though the plot driving points were such a mess like literally so horrible dkjfhkzjd
Started watching Perfect Marriage Revenge bcs it looks so romcomey in twitter eventho I know it\’s makjang but bruuuuuuuuh they\’re so stinking cute!!!! Also, that was him in the other car wasn\’t it….
Yayyyy!!! 🥳 Another PMR watcher!! Oh man, you are in for a TREAT!! There are lots of spoilers in the comments on the PMR fanwall posts if you want spoilers, or if you want to avoid them 😉
