Beanie level: Errand boy

Watching Weekly Idol for the first time in a while. What 8s going on with Kwang Hee’s face?! I almost didn’t recognize him.

Am I the only one here watching Homemade Love Story?

The Spies Who Loved Me, is Joo Hwan the SLM…AGAIN? Also, where is everyone watching this? I wish it was on a legal site.

I knew Jo Bo Ah would be the weak link in TotNT. Reading through the recap comments I see a lot of people agree. LDW and KB are the only reasons I will finish this drama. Maybe not live watch though.

    She’s not terrible, it’s just that putting her next to LDW and KB makes the weaknesses obvious. An actress with more experience and gravitas would help make that OTP relationship more interesting and would add some crackle to it. LDW oozes confidence; it’s a pity for him that he’s not playing opposite an actress who is his equal in that department (I don’t know why, but Ha Ji-won comes to mind).

      I agree with you. In fact, I like Jia and I don’t thing JBA is doing a bad job, she’s doing fine, but… man… you can’t win against LDW and KB. You can’t steal scenes from them. No way.

        I will admit this is the first role I can tolerate her in.

    I don’t have a problem with closing it every time. What I do have a problem with though is what is the point of showing dramas?? Like it started showing a random episode of The Entertainer. You could watch variety or concerts randomly, but who would watch ep 9 of a random show with no context??

      Hahahahahha ME! Guilty of watching random eps of YFAS and Pinocchio. Since i’ve seen both i didn’t mind but i do think they play it by order of episodes – only we don’t know the timing.

        I would watch random eps of Pinocchio too! I know it by heart and would love it! but I haven’t encountered it or any other shows except for Entertainer and another show that I didn’t recognize, although I check db multiple times every day. Yeah, not knowing the schedule is very weird.

    It’s not much of a bother on pc but on mobile is a different story.

If We Were a Season: Did she not like the best friend? Did she start liking the new guy and her father’s affair made her realize it? Was she going to Seoul to be with new guy? I need answers. Help!

    What type of answers do you want?? Spoiler-y ones or one that are of assurances??

    She was emotionally confused – I think she may have started to realize her feelings for her best friend, but when it coincided with the reveal that her father was having an affair the emotional turmoil and confusion had her back out because she didn’t want the friendship to change. She may have also started liking the new guy, but not because of the affair – because he actually treated her like a girl unlike her best friend. But instead of these emotions playing out, she had her whole world turned upside down when she learned of the affair. It dominated anything else she felt for anyone. Which makes sense. And as a result, all her feelings were tainted, and she couldn’t clearly assess what her feelings were. She probably didn’t want to change any of her other relationships. But it also made her stop and look inward, and stop having to present this perfect student image to the world; she essentially rebelled against both what she was used to and against her feelings.

    I don’t think she was going to be with new guy. She was just leaving home and taking a gap year (which was unexpected of a perfect student like her). I think the ending was supposed to show us that she finally finding the balance. By leaving her home she was starting fresh, but by making up with her best friend they reopen the door to re-starting their relationship – in any form. I love that ambiguity, because they could go back to who they were, they could have a romantic relationship, or they could also not go back to being friends, but now the bitterness of their ending is washed away. Whatever it was they have/had can be defined with a clean slate.

      Thank you! I thought since it was a special it would have a clear cut ending. I was thrown off by the open ending. I stopped watching the series after the second movie with Jo Bo Ah. Seemed like all of them were going to be like that.

        No problem – I love this special and have watched it a few times so I’ve had a lot of time to think about it. I liked the ambiguous ending here because it felt so real but I can see how it would frustrate people.

It finally happened. Five Children is gone from Viki and is exclusively on Kocowa. Bye bye superior subs. 😢😒

I just remembered why I don’t frequent Dramabeans as much anymore even though I have the Pandemic Blues. I hate all of these damn pop-ups! Like is there no way to turn off the video player?

    I just click the right top of the player and it disappears until I reopen DB. I think you also gave less pop ups if you’re a subscriber. I always had an adblocker installed which also got ride of all my pop ups.

      I have several ad blockers and I contributed however, nothing stops the video player from popping up every time I go to a new page nor the BTS face mask pop-up. Ugh

Jo Bo Ah is going to ruin another drama for me. I was really looking forward to LDW too. Guess I’ll give it a try, maybe I can over look here.

I just cried like a baby because Young Dal and Young Suk finally found each other. This weekender is going on my list w/ Five Children, Father is Strange and Marry Me Now. #OnceAgain

    Is this the motivation I needed to continue this drama?
    Lol, stopped on ep 40/20 and I just can’t seem to continue.

      Honestly, I skipped more than a few but ended up going back to watch.

Eun Joo is really unlikable as a sibling. She has very few likeable qualities to me.

    Oh I thought I’m the only one who doesn’t enjoy her behavior.
    I know she is going through so much but the harshness and bitterness she shows is just too much! Sometimes words leave more scars than actions and I found many of her words mean. Making family members cry n then leave..
    I can’t relate to her because my older sister is so kind and caring even when she is in pain.

Once Again is finally starting to progress! I guess we’re half way through so it’s about time. I really want the sibling connection to be revealed. Hurry up!

I really miss DramaFever. It was so organized compared to Viki and especially Kocowa.

I can’t wait for the recap of episode 6 of UF. I’m confused about a small part at the end. Also which sister does the friend like in present day? I’m torn. I think I’ll stay on Neutral Island instead of hopping on a particular ship. I don’t really like Eun Joo but I think she and Chan Hyeok (?) would be good for each other. The yin to her yang. On the other hand I love a good friends to lovers plotline.

    I’m firmly on Neutral Island too because I have no idea where this show is going. I thought for sure EJ was the one CH likes but then it seemed like EH. I could go for either pairing.

    I’m also confused.
    So much. I’ve just written a commentary on other beanie post regarding this.
    I love EunHee and ChanHyeok relation as friends, they share magic, but I don’t see them (yet) as a couple.
    And there’s this tension between EunJoo and ChanHyeok. Not a bad tension, but just the feeling that they are not saying something… am I the only one who thinks so?

      You are not alone. I think so too. Like maybe Eun Joo 7sed to like him but didn’t do anything because of Eun Hui.

Eun Joo is mad that her husband told her about herself. It takes 🗑 to know 🗑.
