Beanie level: Rooftop room dweller

Like Flowers in the Sand should be called Watch Baek Du Run. Because Baek Du runs everywhere. But the best is when he ran, screaming, after remembering his kiss. Way to charm a girl Baek Du 🤣

    And remember, Jang Dong-yoon was doing all that running/sprinting while carrying an extra 30 pounds (13.6 kg) that he put on for the role of ssireum wrestler Baek-du.
    LFIS is definitely my favorite JDY drama.

    I loved this drama so much! And yes, I agree that it’s JDY’s best (so far!) I’m definitely revisiting it this summer. Meanwhile, it’s still the header on my fan wall because it makes me smile every time I’m there 😀

      Baek Du is just so earnest! He looks simple, he is simple, but he’s always sincere and kind. I can just imagine him getting nagged by Du Sik all day long, with 3 kids in tow that he’s managing because she’s a hot shot cop (i’m still at ep 8 so i don’t know how it ends yet).

When you find out Byeon Woo Seok has a drama out soon, and it sounds fun until you get to the part that it’s another time travel trope.

Good news must be shared so here’s one: Chae Jong Hyeop is in a j-drama Eye Love You and as of ep 1, it (and him) is very kawaaii..

    I know, four episodes are out already, my usual source had left me hanging taunting me with the raw versions every time I checked. I just checked having seen this post and discovered three are available with machine generated subtitles. I am so happy. Thank you for posting as I would not have checked again until Tuesday, when the next episode is due.

      The subs are challenging but a little bad sub won’t get in the way of my love for romance or Sweet Chae. The subs said his name is Thames and i was wondering why he had an English name until i figured out it was Tae Oh 😆

        That does not bode well for more important things. I imagine we will end up with a vague understanding which is enough to make out the key messages of the drama. I am just glad I won’t need to wait until April.

          We’ll be fine! Figuring out yinqi is kimchi is better than having raw episodes 😂

            Yes each time they mentioned kimchi they changed the spelling to something different but they all looked Chinese.
            His name also changed to three different spellings.

            I must admit the PPL on the takeaways were quite tempting but the omirice her dad made with more sauce than anything else not work for me. She loves food and gets Hangry so not sure why she doesn’t cook more often. She must spend a huge amount of money on all those takeaways and has been settling for ok food rather than the best. Looking forward to binge watching the rest.

This year the only resolution I made was the useless yet entertaining one to compile all 2PM members Gym IG stories, when they’re together. Cause my 2PM boys are Always Meeting at the Gym! It’s a laugh for me at least.

So far I have just 4 shots in my collection, all of them featured Taec. From last year’s record, I don’t think Junho or Wooyoung ever appears but it’s always a combination of the other four.

Twenty Five Twenty One: the ending that makes rewatching hard.

    Skip it. That is how I do lots of my rewatches. Skip that one infuriating arc. Skip that one annoying character. Stop watching at the semi-final episode.

    Yeah, that one hurt sooo bad. Only the things that you love the most can hurt you that much. Twenty Five Twenty One was 14.5 episodes of utter perfection for me. I still love it to death despite the ending that utterly destroyed me. I remember watching it for the first time and having problems sleeping for 3 days straight.

    I’ve got to be one of the few who liked the ending 😅 I usually want a happy ever after with the leads, but appreciated how this one played out differently

      I don’t mind the happily-Not-Together ending, but the lead up to the break up didn’t feel quite right for the two leads. That’s what was so disappointing for me.

      I loved the ending too. It was narratively perfect, imo.

        It was a perfect ending imo, too, though I can’t say the same for the execution and directing in those couple of final eps. However, I agree that having this type of ending makes it hard for me to rewatch knowing what is waiting at the end.

    Thanks to this show I actually found peace with Secret of Forest’s ship. Now I’m happy they never got together, that means their beautiful relationship will never die.

    I’m also consciously not shipping the leads of The Bear. I don’t want a bad written romance to ruin the “rainbow” relationship they have right now.

    Thank you, 2521, you traumatized me. *deep breaths*

    I just finished When I Fly Towards you and it reminded me of 25 21 without that ending. WIFTY has a great rewatch value too. I mean quality wise K dramas are a class apart, but the innocence in the drama and the Nostalgia it evoked was very much like 25 21. Highly recommend

    Totally, no matter how good eps 1-14, the reminder of the ending hurts while rewatching TT__TT

    Love it, so many of our beloved moms and dads, Halmoni and haraboji 😘 This reminds me of my Korean teacher saying that the whole country is born with a microphone in their hands (excepting herself, who was not a great singer) 😁

There’s really no balance to my drama life. It’s either I’m having a drama draught or I’m drowning in dramas. Also, December is not the best time to take even a short break from DB cos now I’m just overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content i have to go through. So i’ve decided to focus on my dramas, finishing or catching up for now, and then making a list of 2023 watches for the bean-count. It may well be January by the time i get through the Year-End Festivities 😂

🍉 I’m so excited to watch the last two episodes of Twinkling Watermelon 🍉

Also, me to Beanies now ⬇️

Sweet Chae of mine. I don’t know if i like him better in angst or comedy..maybe i’ll just rewatch Love All Play which is a mix of both.

I think i can claim a bean for all his scenes that i watched in Castaway Diva. It’s so cute that they gave the adult brothers matching pyjamas 🤭

Guys, i just sent my phone for a repair and i spent the whole 30 mins in anxiety thinking of what they could do. I got my phone back and i’m still a lil freaked out at the thought of a real life #Unlocked

    I guess I’m very very illiterate in YT search. I have seen many videos from this episode and I have searched a lot for it too, but this particular segment I never saw before. It never showed up on my search results. This happens with a lot of other videos too. Why is that? Are YT results location based? Or anything else I don’t know about at all? Should I search for hashtags instead of keywords? I practically only use YT for 2PM videos 😂 but I keep seeing videos that I haven’t seen before. Send help please!

      I think location plays a role, but more importantly is the kind of channels you interact with. For example, netflix Phil has great k-content so i keep seeing their videos compared to my local one. Kbs spain also seems to be my jam (with eng subs thankfully) 😂

      Also, try filtering out vids you’ve played before cos search results tend to be repetitive when you use the same keywords.

      2

        This is what I discovered right now by searching the video you posted! I have to search the country too! This was enlightening! And wayyy harder than I expected!

        Your second tip was a revelation! I always see that filter but never thought about its significance!

    I really liked them in Beat Coin.
    Let’s hope they do a variety show for their next comeback.
    I kinda wish they appeared in the Game catchers.

Woah woah..did PMR beanies know that Do Guk and evil MIL were a thing in the drama Love ft M.D? And both dads were in that drama too..even the cast connection is makjang-ish 🫢

    We know🤭.
    Lee Min-young as Jeon No-min’s wife, I didn’t see that coming.
    Love ft. Marriage and Divorce is also PMR’s PD, so i guess it was not a hard task to get them to join the PMR cast-list.

      It still odd to see them as MIL and SIL after watching them as a couple. The actor playing MIL isn’t that old, so they could have brought in a different actor, but I dont know if the replacement could match her evilness

Well, this applies to dramas too.. I waited months for Doona, but it was just boring guys! I skipped 2 eps to watch the end and am so glad I didn’t make myself sit through the complete eps. PMR, a drama that I dismissed before it even aired, turned out to be my current favourite watch! Swunghoon in all his swoony glory!

    You are so right we must all learn to do a hard stop to what doesn’t gel with us. PMR has been a revelation of sorts to all. So glad we are enjoying it together.
