Beanie level: Water maid

OMG!! I miss Dramabeans and beanies. My work has been crazy and I haven’t been active here for weeks now. Oh how I miss this feeling reading all the new kdramas started this month of June.

Just finished watching 100 Days My Prince 🎎 👑 and it definitely a must-watch! It doesn’t gives you a heavy feeling from the start to the end. I wonder what to watch after this? 🤔

June 1st and the rainy season comes fast! Currently watching 100 Days My Prince. Who happens to watch this too? I wonder how awesome to wear Hanbok in the future lol

    One of the dramas that has been for so long on my “plan to watch list”…
    It climbed some positions after watching the ML and FL’s cameos in “Eun Joo’s room” 🙂

      Some of the best kingly “oh-ho’s” are exclaimed in this one IMO 🙂

        I like DO and Junho’ “oh-hos” equally. They’ve set a high standard.

Beanies, just for fun. If you were to act a character in kdrama whether it’s a movie or series, who would it be and why?

    I think this was actually a Drama Chat topic some time back! My answer remains the same – Kim Jun-wan from Hospital Playlist 🥰.

    I think I might be Kook Yeon-soo. I found her uncomfortably relatable, from her entire attitude about high school, to the way she moved through her career. My love story is a bit different, but I think our personalities are similar.

    And you?

    6
    1

    OoOoOOH okay gosh, not going to lie, my immediate reaction was to pick an FL who has one of my fav actors as her ML co-star, purely for the reason that I could work with and make unprofessional heart eyes at said ML 😂

    So along that same superficial line of thought, I’m going to pick Eun Ha-won from Cinderella and The Four Knights. Living out my cliched Wattpad novel dreams on set with not 1 but 4 attractive MLs vying for “my” attention, would inflate my ego so much hahahaha

    Oooohhhh off the bat i would say Koo Sera from Into The Ring, i just love love love her brand of quirky (Nana played her so well!) But if we’re also considering the ML, let me get back to you after work 😆

    After so many dramas watched, I have not found (yet) any character I can say “she is like me”.
    Maybe I could relate to Go Dok-Mi from Flower Boy Next Door. I’m introverted and home-loving, and after College graduation I studied Spanish Copy Editing (Dok-Mi works as a copy editor too).
    She is introverted but talks when she has to talk, and she doesn’t hesitate to chase a neighbour just because she is really concerned about his dog. I could totally do that too XD
    I’m also very thrifty, but she was way more than me (sleeping with hot bottled water and lots of robes).

    Funnily, Park Shin Hye in Memories of Alhambra was relatable too.

    whoever fights and bites, then knocks herself unconcsious. Could be Hye-Jin from She was pretty.

Beanies, what do you feel most of time when the kdrama you’re watching is about to end? Do you feel sad and wish it will have more episodes or gets excited to watch another kdrama series?

    It depends. If it’s a bad drama, I’m just relieved. If I was really into it, it will make me feel sad to not have it every week anymore.

    11

    It kinda depends.
    I guess for most dramas – it’s sadness that its over because you are saying goodbye to some amazing characters. My Mister, Attorney Woo, Goblin, Search WWW, Call it Love, Crash Landing all comes to mind.

    For some others where the ending seemed inconsistent with the rest of the show – it felt like relief that it finally ended and we can move on to something else. Crash Course in Romance, Start-Up comes to mind here.

    And then there’s 25 21 which seems to park itself in my head forever and won’t leave. It refuses to move on. I wasn’t sad, I wasn’t relieved…I was shellshocked. I’m looking forward to a remake 20 years from now, but instead of Na Hee Do – we are following the adventures of her daughter Kim Min-Chae.
    Idea pitched – I hope the writer sees this and starts writing 25-21 part 2.

      same feeling with Crash Course Romance and same happy feeling for CLOY <3

    If I’m enjoying the drama A LOT I don’t want it to end because I want to keep knowing about the characters. It’s hard to say goodbye.

    i hardly feel sadness or void when a drama is abt to end.. all i feel is happy to have watched such a beautiful drama which kept me in its company for last 2months and gave me smiles n memories n beautiful characters to think about cause drama ends but those characters remans with me forever.❤️
    only dramas i felt sad for ending My Ahjussi and SHR

    It normally depends. There are kdramas that already have a complete story so if it was wrapped up well I do not feel the need for extra episodes or S2. I will definitely miss the characters and know I can always rewatch their story. If I love the drama enough, it will take a bit of time for me to move on to another drama. If its a mediocre drama I suffered through, I just feel a sense of relief its done then can easily move on to another.

Currently, watching Stealer because I have already started watching it but I was kinda feeling not into it lately and go for lovey-dovey kdramas. Will finish this strong lol Happy Weekend beanies!

    All the time!! Which drama/s are you currently contemplating rewatching?

    Youth of May
    True Beauty
    Fight For My Way/Secretary Kim (I alternate between the two a lot, depending on which Park Seojoon I’m in the mood for hahaha 😂)

    I have rewatched only one drama from start to finish and it was Live up to your name. I watched in on my own in July (last year) and rewatched it in September with someone else.

    I have rewatched lots of episodes and scenes from Flower Boy Next Door and The Best hit but I haven’t rewatched the whole series yet.

    4
    1

    Oh, I do!

    It’s why I dl the dramas that I liked. Like this, I can rewatch them everytime I want, the whole drama or just some scenes.

    I have around 150 dramas. 😅

      lol that’s funny and also interesting for the 150 kdramas you’d rewatch. Top kdramas in mind, maybe?

        Now, I have place, so I can keep a lot. But when I need to do some cleaning, there are a lot that I don’t really mind to erase like Doom at your Service (just kept for SIG), Island (for KNG I guess), Love for Suckers (for the second couple), etc. :p

        The most rewatched ones : Healer, Extraordinary You, She Would Never Know, Mr Sunshine, Heartless City, Goblin, One Spring Night, Pretty Noona, A Piece of Your Mind, Stranger 1 and 2, Stove League, Suspicious Partner, When the Weather is Fine, The King’s Affection, My Country.

    I fell in love with IOTNBO and Move To Heaven the first time I watched it. I could not move on, I wanted more. So what I did, I insisted that my boyfriend should watch it, and of course I would watch along. 😎

    But my most rewatched drama would be BTLIOF. I have watched it (in full) 6 times already since I discovered it last year. It’s my comfort drama.

    I rewatched more in the old days cos of lack of accessibility so Coffee Prince, Princess Hours.. the latest one was Alchemy of Soul. Hong sisters brand of humor is right up my alley.

    Into The Ring
    Stranger (when S2 came out)
    Love All Play

    (…I have a feeling I’m forgetting some other memorable ones though xD)

    Because This Life Is Our First – immediately after finishing the first watch, to re-feel the feels and make more sense of the ending
    W – Two Worlds – same, to look for all the clues and understand the twists I missed the first time
    Alchemy of Souls part 1 – just before part 2 started

    I’m not generally much of a rewatcher because there are still too many dramas out there that I haven’t seen yet.

      100% true about too many dramas out there to watch lol but sometimes you just can’t get enough of them, their story, their chemistry, their characters

      I like that you put how many times you’ve watched them lol I will give it a try FightMyWay kdrama. IDK for other beanies but I’m still wanting the chemistry of WhatsWrongwithSecKim and I don’t wanna compare <3

I know some may not like the series but this line is one of my favorite. This series will end soon. Do you have a kdrama series that you wish that it may have longer episodes?

    I would say that almost all my favorite dramas left me wanting more just because I loved so much the characters (or the main character) that it was hard to say goodbye.

      I know right 🙂 how we wish them to stay a little bit long. Really can’t satisfy us lol

    Circle, Gaus Electronics, W – Two Worlds, and School Nurse Files all left me wanting more, but that’s not the same as saying they would have been better if they were longer.

    I’m enjoying Bora!, too – I just wish they’d spent less time on the breakups and more on the leads’ relationship!

    3
    2

      I couldn’t agree more with these two: Two Worlds and Bora!!

      And indeed, for me, Bora needs two more episodes. It feels like they need more time for lovey-dovey and I am also guessing that the ring will be given to Bora perhaps in the last episode. End of story. Leaving us and wanting more lol

    I’m not entirely sure if these are underrated but I see them being talked about often so:

    1. Moment at 18 (very bittersweet but wholesome high school story)
    2. Love All Play (angsty but sweet sports drama)
    3. From Now On Showtime (this literally had a bit of almost every genre and somehow made it work!)

    Mother – So powerful and emotional. Super high IMDB score yet nobody seems to talk about this drama. Even on this site, it seems to be hidden. If you search for mother on this site, it’s clocking in at a 9.8 rating. But if you sort by ranking for all shows – it doesn’t even show up.

    Call it Love – while this show gets pretty good coverage on this site – it’s invisible everywhere else. Hardly any press or reviews of Buzz in general.
