Beanie level: Water maid

Gave the site the old college try AGAIN and I’m convinced I’ve done something horrible in a past life and soon will become a Grim Reaper. It’s hopeless trying to post in a review comment section. GAH

    The site has been very glitchy for some of us over the last few days I got way to complacent after we had a period of stability. A few of us had lost comments show up a few hours later.

I have tried in vain to post after recaps of MMH. I live in a 5k area. Who doesn’t? I can’t type more than 2 sentences before the site glitches and I’m kicked out. SO, I post my 200 characters here.

    I hope you try typing out your comments in a separate app and then posting it in the recap or Fanwall. After posting just press send and do not edit it in the DB comment box. Hope that helps. 😊

What’s the point of taking and apparently excelling at judo and then just freeze while a man you hate slowly chokes you? Ji-won also had plenty of room to smash her knee into his b**ls too.

I’m ba-ack! I’m going to give the site another shot. Hopefully, 2024 will be a great year for k-dramas. 🎎 Hope you all had a happy Christmas & your new year celebrations will be fun & safe! 🎉

I can’t get my comments to stick. I’m not even typing that much. I’ll just watch & read recaps for a while. It’s too frustrating trying to post.

I just lost my comments on Daily Dose of Sunshine for the 3rd time. So dang frustrating because I have a lot to say about this show. I’ll try again later.

Come on, come on! They’re saying the next episode is being released today. It’s 4:18pm and I’m still waiting. Is it a different time zone they’re referring to? I bet it is. Gah! Going crazy here!

Many shows now make the police look like incompetent fools who can only be ‘saved’ by one renegade detective. Writers seem to be using the same predictable formulas whether it’s a rom-com or crime drama.

I wonder if Sin-yu’s parents will stay together…

    Well, that particular storyline was wrapped up in a completely ridiculous and unbelievable way. I’m really looking forward to the final recap so I can write off this show which had such untapped potential.

Na-yeon is hardly a FORMER bully.

    … and an unrepentant entitled so-and-so.

      I wasn’t thrilled with the way they handled Na-yeon at the end. That arrest was anti-climatic. She deserved a bit more humiliation.

        In a way I’m glad all that is reserved for off-screen… I couldn’t abide to see her for another minute.

        I agree the comeuppance was too abrupt and anti-climatic – as if just to check the box of – villains punished. ✔

          Yup, and the evil cackle of Garden Man to top off his interrogation was a bit over the top and added zip to the conclusion.

She’s tied with ribbon and can’t break it? Sigh.

What WAS that? From the best most intense ep to the men’s dress shirt trope, JY’s now a bad guy (?!) fake office harmony, & another mostly useless showdown between HJ and NY I’m stunned. How bizarre

If Jae yeong was a good guy, wouldn’t he be ratting out the mayor right about now?

If they didn’t believe in this reincarnation nonsense/destiny they’d stay together regardless of his sickness, right? I know Buddhism is a SK belief, but in practical terms? Do people really buy it?

    what kind of a statement is that “Buddhism is a SK belief”

    You are being rude and insensitive…

      That certainly wasn’t my intent. Since the story is set is SK, I was stating the obvious & asking if people truly believe in reincarnation. It’s an innocent question w/ zero intent to offend.

    So, there is a magic word around the script writing crowds and this will completely answer all your questions. PLOT.

    Why do people buy it? do they even buy it in real life? No, but plot. When it doesn’t make sense, it’s also a case of “they have to because plot”.

    But apart from this, I do agree with you that once you take the reincarnation storyline away, the plot does the exact opposite of thickening. It becomes translucent.

I think Destined W/ You has finally pushed me over the edge. The breaking up trope. The obnoxious co-workers bullying their way into HJ’s house for a fake party. HTG, I’m only half watching this ep.

Why do writers not acknowledge that serious injuries to the stomach/abdomen are excruciatingly painful? You do not suffer them in silence.And there it is, the break-up I thought we’d dodge. Rats.

Why do most kdramas act like adults don’t have sex when they’re failing in love? These scenes where they just sleep in the same bed is old and tired because 99% it’s not real life.

    Given Koreas extremely low birth rate – maybe the lack of sex is real?
    Sorry, I’m kidding about that.
    On the flip side, in most American Flicks the couple has sex on the first encounter. That’s also 99% not real life (or maybe it is and I didn’t get the memo).

      Wouldn’t it be nice to have something in-btwn tho? But maybe that’s just my own preference.

    Oh gosh. You missed all the purity talk in another thread. It’s because many viewers want them like that.

      I get within many communities, purity is important, but simply pressing your closed lips together is not kissing. Some SK series are getting a bit more realistic about relationships. Cdramas are more honest in their portrayals than most other Asian countries.

      @indyfan I’m with you-something in between is better than nothing. A flash of occasional passion would be fun, too! Also, it was recently reported in the Korea Times that the birth rate continues to drop as the elderly population continues to increase. It’s a very real phenomenon.

Huh-new storylines without resolving any of the others. JG’s family member showing up, NY planning someone mean for SY because she finally has to accept it’s over and on and on and on. Sigh.

I’m tired of HJ not standing up for herself and acting so incredibly naive. The elevator remark was useless. Let’s move this storyline forward, please.

Here we go again. Another filler ep. Another meaningless confrontation between NY/HJ. I’m tired of everyone’s treatment of HJ, even SY still treats her shabbily bracelet notwithstanding.
