Beanie level: Loan shark with a heart of gold

Still having fun and revealing a profound understanding of how kdrama casting works.

Not necessarily a great show, but they like to make fun of k-tropes, and given the timing I wonder if maybe they’re deliberately trolling Queen of Tears (?) Anyway, funniest bit I’ve seen this week.

Sigh. Another one for the archive. Don’t be surprised if I use this one a lot in the future.

1 & 2: Completely not the same as me watching totally not-useless kdramas and writing totally not-useless posts 🙂

3: No problem. Just see your face-doctor.

4: Doing OK so far.

Asianwiki thinks Jeon Jong-seo (Wedding Impossible) has another show coming in which she plays a queen.

\”She struggles to marry one of her late husband\’s younger brothers and set them upon the throne.\”

So, Wedding Impossible 2.0, the Impossible Heir ?

    Not just any “coming soon”… this one stars Ji Chang-Wook as well as Lee Soo-Hyuk, Jo Han-Chul, and Kang Young-Seok! 😉

    Queen Woo is rumored to begin airing in August. After seeing Jeon in WI, I’m even more excited about her take on this historical queen.

      Friendly reminder, QUEEN WOO will air on Paramount+.
      That is a streaming service I don’t subscribe to.

        Oooh that’s unfortunate. I don’t either. Does Paramount tend to share licensing rights? It’s hard to believe this star-studded drama will have so little international viewership if it doesn’t.

Day 3 of QoT fed me so many opportunities…

1 / 4: Why S. Korea’s birth rate is so low, part 1.

3 & 5: Because Kdrama. (Yes, 3 is dual-purpose)

1 & 2: Beanies when they see the latest plot twist in a show that started well.

3 & 4: Beanies about to start a new show.

1: Who are you and what have you done with the Korean?

2: Oh, there you are. And it would be a shame not to be prepared if all the stores run out of booze.

4: Who are you and what have you done with the Korean? You are too logical. (And no, I didn’t forget to caption 3, I just needed it to set up 4)

After 1 episode of Chicken Nugget I turned to Flex x Cop and the opening credits immediately showed me what happened to the Nugget 🙂

1: And hide your political message (note the Ukraine-themed clothing)

2 & 3: Like kdramas, you mean? Or all of Netflix?

How to tell you are watching a kdrama.

Also, can’t she say her battery is dead? That’s better English and in this show it could mean one last photo of the dead battery before it trudges off to that great charger in the sky.

PS: Please show, don’t fail to live up to my alternate title.

    The Stud would definitely understand dead much better considering he snatched away his hand from hers since apparently it was not-dead.

    Your nomenclature is spot on. IMO the Stud is playing doom and gloom rather well. ♥️🥳

Because it’s always so reassuring when someone thinks they have to tell you are aren’t a thief, or a weird person or whatever.

1 & 2: Could be worse. If she were a kpoop trainee she wouldn’t be permitted to eat anything.

3: Are you sure? Is there a difference in Chaebolland?

4 & 5: As Terry Pratchett wrote, one-in-a-million chances pop up 9 times out of 10. In Kdramaland as in Discworld.

Now that would make one hell of a show. Or a short one if they don’t bother with the afterlife happy-ever-aftering.
