Beanie level: Errand boy

Queen of Tears Episode 5 even bigger wallop to the heart, what utter devastation (also the credits are gorgeous and I knew I was right to never skip them)

    Why did it feel like she had an abortion? That’s the gist of what I got but also got confused when she cried but said ‘you don’t deserve to be sad’. If she lost the baby why not tell him?

      if it was an abortion it certainly wasn’t one she wanted at the time, Hae-in was obviously a happy and enthusiastic mother-to-be.

      I can’t imagine her terminating her pregnancy unless it was a threat to her life and Hyun-woo is hardly likely to hold that against her, he only moves out of their shared bedroom once she (in his mind) callously dismantles the baby’s nursery – the fact that they’re not having a baby anymore is not news to him in that scene.

More Queen of Tears neckties(it’s SO GOOD to finally have a classic blockbuster kdrama that’s firing on all cylinders- and ugh Kim Soo-hyun/Kim Ji-won as a couple are amazing, chemistry 100/10)

        🥳Congratulations on your climb.
        The levels are a reflection of your activity on the site. The frequency and consistency of your commenting leads to fast or slow climbs. So 2 or three comments per day on different posts leads to a quicker climb than 2 or 3 comments every couple of months. Some beanies spend years at each lower levels accruing lots of comments as they comment infrequently and others sail through in days or weeks.

        Once you get to Errand boy you go from needing 2-300 comments per level to needing at least 2-3000 comments to get to the next level Rooftop room dweller so everyone feels the pain of trying to get out of that level. From Errand boy onwards it takes 1000’s of comments to climb so few beanies make it to the higher levels. If you want to know the levels I will attach a link in the next comment to the levels and other beanie info. Please ignore if you are not interest or reply and ask I will delete it.

          damn, I have 13,000 comments (12,000+ of them before the big db redesign in 2017 so I guess they don’t count? lol). Thanks for the info it’s still interesting to know, this is the first time in a while I’m commenting regularly here again.

            I am guessing that everyone started at Candy whatever their comment numbers were at the point of the new site being launched and then all the comments from then on counted towards the new levels. 1000+ comments to get to Errand boy is about right so you are on track. Most people just comment as and when and see their climb as something that just happens, others are more strategic. The fact that one drama has brought you to comment means that you will get lots of comments in while it is on as you have fun engaging with the other beanies live watching.

So in love with Queen of Tears and Hae-in’s style, literally the whole drama styling, lighting and coordi team seem to be v. into gleefully showing off Kim Ji-won’s exquisite beauty

No Vincenzo this week but yay for BangBangCon to fill the gap (even if I’m now teary at the sight of actual crowds of fans and having post-concert depression in a way I never did for actual concerts)

I’m still in thrilled disbelief that THIS HAPPENED. As a longtime kdrama watcher, doubly so (and I really wonder how jb and gf must feel). #ParasiteMadeHistory

I’m just so happy for everyone 😭😭😭

    JB and GF would post it here first thing in the morning. This is historical and deserves it’s own celebratory thread.
    I miss them so much!

It’s been weeks and I’m still blown away by how good this is.

Now to wait for EU tour tickets to go on sale (and please not on a day I’m in the air). Or Asia dates to be announced at all…

Goodbye to The Tale of Nokdu, the little drama that could. I hung around the final recap for the longest, but seeing the thumbnail move into \’Recently Completed\’ brought it home that it\’s over 😢

    Ohmygosh I’ve been seeing your comments all over the Nokdu thread and I feel like you’re probably even more obsessed with it than I am (perhaps… I’ll fight you on that one tho ;p) wahhhh help me!! I’m SO gutted it’s over and there’s no more… I’m literally re-watching it for the 5th time in a row because I love it so much. I’ve watched and re-watched their BTS vids, interviews and radio appearances (KSH & JDY) so many times I literally know what they’re saying without subs by now and I am still so obsessed with the drama, team and of course our DongJeon couple.

    Any ideas how to move on?? Or maybe we can just fangirl together???

      haha sorry I’m late replying but I’m glad you love Nokdu too!

      I rewatched while waiting for the final episodes, definitely going to return to Nokdu in 2020…..but to get over the withdrawal, I’ve been watching some of Jang Dong-yoon’s other dramas, including If We Were A Season and Dance Sport Girls! But I am totally open to continued fangirling here too (just sorry about late replies since I don’t log in every day).

The thing about The Tale of Nokdu is that it’s not reinventing the kdrama wheel, but it does put a fresh spin on now-hoary fusion sageuk tropes. It’s also really good at making its characters feel like people and not just trope placeholders – whether that’s Nokdu and Dong-joo, or supporting characters like the Queen.

Also, execution is everything. This is supposed to be a romance, and they cast leads who could actually pull off the more charged moments of Nokdu and Dong-joo’s relationship (that scene where he reveals himself to her at the end of episode 3? Is positively electric.)

Anyway I close out with a pic of Nokdu being cute on the swing:

Literally everything about The Tale of Nokdu 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I love it all – the OTP (that chemistry!), hyung and 2nd lead’s heel face turn, even the politics feels human.
