    I’m this 🤏🏼 close to opening a Pinterest board purely for Gu-won’s wardrobe. He (well the stylist I guess) has not missed once so far style wise in my books.

    Funny fact / coincidence kinda: It is apparent that the wardrobe partner for My Demon is Hermes. Hence Do-hee is the devil in Hermes 😂 which is obviously a reference to Prada, which is infact the brand for which this pretty face happens to be the real life ambassador of 😅

Waiting for ep 8 of A good day to be a Dog feels like trying to run fast from something scary in my dream and I cannot get the momentum I need. Way too slow.Once a week episodes are not my favorite!

    Agreed 😭 Patience is also not a virtue I’ve ever had so whilst a small part of me is like oh at least we’ll have this show in the new year, the bigger part of me is wanting to throw a tantrum outside MBC to get them to hurry up and air more episodes.

      Very frustrating… I put it on hold and decided to binge once it ends.. I feel like this pace and breaks takes away the enjoyment of the drama. It might work for a ‘heavy’ drama but not this kind of drama.

    Song Kang needs to work hard for his kissing king crown. Sung Hoon already beat him with a first episode kiss in PMR which continued in episode two for us to enjoy the view through a heart shaped wall.
    But then again Song Kang’s wardrobe is a thing of beauty and his “finger tutting” was so much FUN that I didn’t mind the kisses, or lack thereof. There is a long way ahead My Demon.

Caution: comments filled with lots of !!!!
Twinkling Watermelon, you make me smile! Grandma’s wish for a happy ending came true! Eun-gyeol could have returned to 2023 with nothing more than an understanding of his parents’ backstory. Maybe that would have been enough, but it wouldn’t have been as interesting or compelling. As a CODA, he carried a self-imposed responsibility for the happiness and security of his family. He was a good kid, even in his rebellion. But he needed a bigger view of his world and that’s what he got. And deserved.
Things I loved:
How the ending showed Eun-gyeol conversing with the 1995 version of Yi-chan and then with the transformed 2023 version without his guilty face. I’ll tell you what, I have high respect for Ryeo-un’s and Hyun-wook’s acting chops! Those bromance scenes! Usually, I would say three accidents are over the top, but the way they were written into the story (as much as I hated watching the impact) was genius because Eun-gyeol had to confront his greatest fear that he couldn’t stop his father from becoming deaf.
Se-kyung: I didn’t like her at first, but she won me over more than any character in recent kdrama viewing! She was very cool! I don’t just like her, I love her! Even though her life was super stressful with perfectionist demands placed on her, the spontaneity she had deep down saved her.
Eun-soo had nothing going for her. I wondered how she sat in school everyday and then returned home to an evil prejudiced stepmother. Of the changed endings, I loved the story of what she accomplished the most!
The cassette tape, wow, so cool that a message from the past was woven into Eun-gyeol’s live in such a meaningful way. The voice of his father captured before he could no longer hear and speak. He couldn’t even share it with his 2023 family. It was his secret, perhaps only shared with Se-kyung’s grandfather, but what a bittersweet treasure of the soul.
Things I am reminded of:
Hardships can be overcome with love. (a not to Grandma).
You can never care too much; just don’t be a martyr about it.
There is always a bigger picture to consider. Sometimes we can’t get that view from where we stand, but it is worth trying to look beyond your own little world. You will find out about others, but more importantly, you will learn things about yourself. And you will grow.
Never underestimate the power of bromance. When done right, there is nothing as raw and as heartfelt.
Two questions:
Do we know what happened to Eun-soo’s biological mother?
Did Eun-gyeol become a doctor? Or is he part of the entertainment conglomerate of his father’s and brother’s as a R&R star? I’m totally fine with that, I was just wondering.
Finally, I will be hard pressed to sacrifice a bean for any drama other than Twinkling Watermelon this year! Viva la vida!

    “You can never care too much; just don’t be a martyr about it.”

    Perfectly expressed. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Your write up is as beautiful as the drama.
    Please do “gush” – so then we all can join you and we can gush together. No other drama deserves it more than this. 🌟 🍉

      Thanks, Cera. I really want to rewatch with my brother at Christmas. I kinda wish I had a local beanie pal to watch dramas with, tho. I mean, he liked Reply 1988, and I think he’ll appreciate the well-written story and characters, but I could really gush with a gal kpal at times like these!

Wah! I can’t watch the newest episode of twinkling watermelon until after work at 8 PM. But I am enjoying a simple, cheap homemade sweet potato, black bean, avocado bowl for lunch.

It\’s been a whole month since the last Good Day to be a Dog episode aired. I totally cannot remember what happened or what we are anticipating will happen. Do I have the energy or time to rewatch? Idk

    Why don’t you try reading the recaps? And maybe the comments too. I’ve seen that most beanies say positive things about this show, so maybe the enthusiasm from the comments will motivate you.

    The fans of this show have waited for so long that I really hope you all to enjoy it. 🥺 Don’t let the wait ruin your motivation. Fighting!!

    The airing schedule is really messed up.
    Does no one any favors. Network and viewers both are let down and the drama gets sidelined even if one wants to watch.

    They’ve been doing the recaps every start of the ep but yes, I have the same question to myself as well…I’ll maybe go back to it once they have more eps out.

So dramas with someone sinking, sinking in the deep waters in their memory, a dream, or for real- there are plenty. Castaway Diva, Doona, Twinkling Watermelon…Add to the list-how many can we name?

      That might have been Our Blooming Youth – I think she did it twice.

      W-Two Worlds, Kiss Sixth Sense, While You Were Sleeping – I’m sure there are many more. And Moon in the Day just featured the longest, most sloooooooow-motion, and most eye-rollingly improbable dunking I think I’ve ever seen.
