Part 2 of our Looooong Yak! This time we talk about Cdramas, including the estimable Nirvana in Fire! And @saya asks me and @festerfaster: How do we choose what to watch?
I missed this because I was in the middle of a slump. @saya loves NIF! *blows kisses*
Don’t let the 54 episodes deter you @laica and @festerfaster! I wasn’t as disciplined as Saya. *cough* It took me a few episodes to get used to the storytelling style and the bombardment of character introductions, so I took a break after episode 12. But after episode 18 I couldn’t stop and marathoned it over a weekend.
By the way, I finished NIF2. It was entertaining but more of a straightforward story, not the mind-blowing experience that was NIF.
Thank you for listening! It was actually @festerfaster trying to get the two of us to watch. Maybe we’ll have a drama slump this summer and get to it then? I definitely want to watch, my list is just so looooong :'(
Part 1 of this month’s extrasuperlong Yak is up! @saya, @festerfaster and I discuss Misty, Mother, Mystery Queen 2, Radio Romance, The Great Seducer, Shall We Kiss First, and some older stuff!
*Super* agree with @saya on Radio Romance. I wanted to say it but I felt so guilty criticizing Kim So Hyun Because she’s so young… I mean it wasn’t completely her fault. The writing was off as well. I just didn’t feel the chemistry.
I just want to take a moment to reiterate how awesome Beanies are. You guys are truly a miracle: an internet community that\’s consistently kind, smart, and hilarious. Thanks for 2017, friends. ❤️❤️❤️
Our last podcast of 2017 is a Throwback Edition. Join me, @saya and @festerfaster and our special guest Odessa Jones as we talk about Ji Sung and Hwang Jung-eum’s dark, twisted melodrama Secret.
My full-length podcast debut, eeek! Join @festerfaster, @Saya and me as we squee over the awesome friendships and awkward romance in Fight My Way. We had so much fun doing this—hope you all enjoy! ❤
Right?? After being in rom -com slump for a while, this is basically Christmas! I almost wish they didn’t come out at the same time just so I could have savoured one on it’s own with the other to look forward to when the first one ends #firstworldproblems
Just finished it. I just can’t get enough of these two. They are so awkwardly adorable but really smart. I like how we don’t sacrifice one for the other.
I don’t know who I’m in love with most at this point: writer Kwon Ki Young, director Park Sun Ho, Ji Chang Wook/No Ji Wook, or Nam Ji Hyun/Eun Bong Hee.
Womance is unnecessary. Where did that phrase come from? Is it supposed to be a response to bromance? Which would be interesting because bromance was coined to name the closeness between men that’s similar to female best friends.
I like gal pals but probably use bestie more irl. Sisterhood always paints a positive picture in my mind. I love the image of women supporting and building each other up.
@gadis I like sisterhood! But you’re right, it does lack some of the catchiness of bromance.
@dramalava Yeah, it’s an unfortunate attempt to find a female equivalent to bromance. It’s interesting to think of that origin for bromance when now it’s by far a more popular (and buzzy) dynamic in dramas than great female friendships. You’re right, bestie is more practical, but it’s also not gender-specific, so it doesn’t have the special status that bromance has somehow gained.

Oh man, this moment between Dong-man and Dad. Oceans of tears.
I love ALL the character relationships in this drama, not just the OTP.

Mystery Queen, I love you, but the only way you\’re getting away with that ending is if we get a season two.
(With romance. Because Seol-ok and Wan-seung are obviously soulmates.)

I won’t even get greedy and ask for a romance. I just need a season two. ALL THESE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. WHAT.

No need to question it like Bong Hee, I already know I’ve crossed over from love to obsession!!!

Nam Ji Hyun is doing a pretty bang-up job as her, especially for a young actress.

Hahaha yes, exactly!

Same. I haven’t seen episode 6, but I think episode 5 found its groove in its romantic, comedic thriller genre mash. I’m all on board now.

Please watch episode 6 ASAP.

Can we collectively agree to finally retire the term \”womance\”? How do you all feel about \”girlship\” instead? (Any other suggestions?)
gadis
May 2, 2017 at 9:36 PM
Womance does sound weird.
Girlship is cute. Or maybe sisterhood (or is it too long? Less catchy?)
