7th December : The drama Beanies convinced you to watch and you can’t be grateful enough for 2023
J drama with English dubs Monkey . (1978) A fun watch, many Beanies knew the show.
Watching oldies on YouTube and I saw the perfect Drama Song. From 1972 ,Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show ‘s “Sylvia’s Mother” .
Written when pay phones were the norm, the telephone operator would cut into your call and ask for additional money to continue the conversation.
Our singer relates his call to Sylvia and Sylvia’s mother answers the call.
The song is based on an actual event.* I could see a drama built around this.
* Has a Wikipedia page about it.
That Dae Jang Geum comment cracked me up. My aunt always brings it up when she meets Korean people. It was the gateway drama for overseas fans in the early 2000s. It was very popular in Korea and overseas.
Lee Se-young was very young when she played the younger version of Jang Geum’s rival. Nice reference!

4 -The drama you didn’t love, but Beanies did.
The drama was 2022 C drama but I watched it this year . Love Between Fairy and Devil (2022) I got halfway through and quit. The female lead was a bit too cute, too much Aegyo or something.
I much preferred the Demon /FL relationship in another C drama , Lost You Forever (2023) which I finished and liked . Waiting for Season 2
I haven’t watched too many Demon love dramas but I think Lost You Forever is the one to beat. That demon could teach a vampire a thing or two about sampling the FL’s 🩸 !
It’s good , he’s a demon that needs Fl’s blood, but he also assumes the identity of someone else . Pretty good story, FL has several suitors, she actually thinks about demon as an option at some point.
I think I remember it correctly, someone please correct if wrong.
Really?? Maybe I’m the outlier in the case of not liking this character as much as many others did. Right from the get-go, I thought and felt that Tan Jian Ci was mid-cast and doesn’t have that gravitas I want in su ch a deep and intense character, not that he’s absolutely horrible, because I still enjoyed his scenes together with Yang Zi. I just kept thinking at the back of my mind that maybe Zhang Bin Bin would have been more suitable for this role, as I’ve seen him do deep and dark and I absolutely love it
Also, you did much better than I did in your progress in watching “Love Between Fairy and Devil”— I couldn’t make it past 15 minutes into Ep. 2, and even then, Ep. 1 was hard to get through, it didn’t fully have my attention 😅😅
I really struggled with the aegyo as well, and dropped. I did sample later episodes, and there was growth, but honestly, not much imho, and that voice didn’t change! You were wise to drop.
Even though I never know what’s happening in Chinese movies (the fantasy ones), I do enjoy them for the visuals. I tried to watching “Love between fairy and devil” and I agree – FL was too cute. I noticed that about xianxia/wuxias – FL TOO DAMN CUTE. Annoying! I just can’t. lol
