🤣🤣🤣 I win!!! 100% compatible. “Talk about a match made in heaven! You are everything Kim Seon Ho could want in a partner and more. You two have similar values and balance each other out perfectly. Do I hear wedding bells?”
I got the same! This thread made me laugh so much, though!🤣 my theory is that it’s because I only drink coffee sometimes, which makes me incompatible with most people in K-dramaland.
I, too, don’t drink coffee. 😅 I’m caffeine-intolerant. Do you think that’s the reason for the low compatibility rates?
You know, the overall diet consumption should be balanced in a household. I say here that if Baby is into coffee, we shouldn’t. That’s real compatibility.
That is my theory!! And I totally agree with you – compatibility can take the form of complementary tastes, so you don’t end up fighting over the last of anything. For example, I like crusts, and am married to someone who doesn’t, so there is less waste and no arguing over the baguette/loaf ends. And no one needs to be unnecessarily altruistic.😁
I also got 100%! Even though I didn’t pick tteokbokki despite knowing his love for it. 😅
Dunno why but it’s one of kdrama food staples that I’m not particularly fond of. Tteokbokki just tastes too starchy for me. 😅🤷🏻♀️
It’s a very binge-able drama actually, though it would have been good to watch it live. I remember I skipped it last year because I wasn’t in the mood for a “romance”. I imagined there would be lots of kissing etc, but that was not the case at all (which suits me just fine).
Yes, it’s very much a “healing” drama and the relationship between Seo-woo and Ha-won is very sweet. It’s great to watch in the winter. It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Now I’m remembering how this drama made me feel and also wondering if I loved it or School Nurse Files more last year. I wrote nearly 4000 words on the latter but APOYM was just so beautiful. It’s a tossup I think.
I randomly clicked on A PIECE OF YOUR MIND. I thought the first episode was lovely and different to the usual kdrama fare. Chae Soo Bin’s acting is so natural.
OMO OMO OMO! This show is amazing! I hope you will like it. You might find it a bit weird at first, but it is actually amazing if you give it a chance. After about episode 4, it really delivers! It was one of my top three romance dramas for 2020.
Thank you for the encouraging comment… I checked out the recap thread and beanie comments were quite negative, so I was feeling lonely for liking it so far (I’m on episode 4 now!)
IDK, I loved this show. I think there was a small but committed contingent of Beanies who also loved this show. It’s a bit of an odd one and lots of people were disoriented by the beginning (which, I’ll admit, was sort of meh from my perspective as well), but it consistently gets better episodes 3 or 4 through 12 are great IMO. Seo-woo and Ha-won are such an adorable couple.
I’m someone else who loved this show. :o) I think it suffered a bit from having its total number of episodes cut, but overall, I think it posed such thought-provoking questions about love and grief. I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Yay! I’m really happy that you’re enjoying it! Because of your post, I listened to the OST again today, which is just delightful. I also love that little poem that Ji Soo and Ha Won recite together in Norway. It’s a few simple lines, but I found it strangely comforting!
I..eerrrr… finished the drama and read your post (thanks for the link @mellowarmadillo!). It’s really beautifully written. It’s like the drama opened up a window into LT’s soul, of which I only knew the irresistibly indifferent beanie.

Eun Dan-oh and Baek-kyung from EXTRAORDINARY YOU showing up in TRUE BEAUTY. 😂
And that’s it. Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄See you next Year!
Merry Christmas to you Toki! Thanks for reminding me about the twins in HOSPITAL PLAYLIST. They were so sweet. My favorite HP doctors: 1. Jun-wan (being a big JKH fan he had to be.) 2. Song-hwa. If Jun-wan is not available Song-hwa is definitely my go to. and 3. Jung-won. Fr. Ahn. Who really should be a ‘Father’ but I was in a distinct minority there.
Jun-wan and Song-hwa are the best. But I loved Ik-sun too. It’s hard to choose!
This is one time I will disagree with you. From the start I didn’t think Jung-won should be a priest. There is that scene where drunk Jung-won is shown crying about being too emotional and that he should become a priest. A priest sees people dying too and can’t be overly emotional, so becoming a priest to escape that won’t be a solution. His priest brother knew Jung-won’s calling was as a doctor, that’s why he always said “next year”.
That said, I didn’t like the way the drama portrayed this. They said he had to choose God or Gyeo-wool. However, that doesn’t mean he had to give up God entirely. He could still read the Bible and pray his Rosary even if he didn’t become a priest. I guess we’ll see what Season 2 has in store for them.
I LOVE Kim Nam-gil, though I’m pretty obsessed with Baby these days I remember the time I fell so hard for him so vividly. He’s just that charming. 😳😍💕 And hooray for Live Up to Your Name, that one is a must-watch and totally lives up to its name.
I thought the ending was ok. It helped me come to terms with some things that had bothered me before. What I hated was that it sidelined the father-son storyline (as well as the idol trainees) in favor of romance. I still listen to the OST though, and watch clips of YSY dancing 😂
Day 1: ML you will never forget (for better or for worse).
Ri Jeong Hyeok. ❤️ Day 2: FL you will never forget (for better or for worse) @yyishere’s Candy. *shivers* Day 3: PPL a drama feels empty without.
The King feels empty without the PPL. Day 4: Drama you couldn’t finish.
Do. You. Like. Brahms. Day 5: Drama you finished for the bean.
The King: Eternal Yawn Day 6: Drama you know you will rewatch.
The Mandalorian Season 2. Day 7: That OST you’re obsessed with.
I’ll Find You On A Beautiful Day instrumental: https://youtu.be/tW4wSyxui_c Day 8: OTP you didn’t think you’ll adore.
@azzo and SNG. Though this isn’t true. I adored them from the start. Day 9: Drama you watched just because, and ended up loving.
Lovely Us (C-drama) Day 10: Drama Beanies convinced you to watch and you can’t be grateful enough.
Hospital Playlist. I didn’t love all of it, but I enjoyed it more than I expected to.
*finishes with a lame little dance in the spirit of 2020*
You have been a big part of my 2020 YY. What with t***picks, Candy and poor Mr Babe, and the spin-off that snowballed into a epic tale of unrequited love, LT & WHO? Thanks for making me laugh all year.
It seems like DB’s tactic of getting people interested in what it’s play is working 😉😉
I did consider for a time if I wanted to do a re-watch of MLFAS because of the DB player, but didn’t end up doing it 😅 I cannot seem to get myself into any of Park Shin Hye’s dramas, ever…. I’ve tried several, and I’ve only every been able to get thru a handful:
– “Stairway to Heaven”, because she was only portraying the childhood counterpart of the main actress
– “The Heirs”, with HEAVY, HEAVY ff-ing (but who DIDN’T FF heavily for that drama?? 😂😂)
– “The Doctors”, again— heavy ff-ing
– “Memories of Alhambra”, Episode 1 and it was only because I was watching it on Netflix with a friend who’s a lover of Hyun Bin— we didn’t watch for Park Shin Hye
I’m watching pinocchio with Frabby and I’m enjoying it a lot so far. The storyline is interesting and I feel like PSH’s character is more exciting. We get to see so many sides to her.
I want her to play a character that is an assassin or someone who isn’t so ‘good’ or a candy in distress.
I’ve not seen The Call, it seems a bit too creepy. Maybe she plays a different character in that?
Oh, interesting! I was wondering what the function of the DB player was, because it’s not like you can watch a whole drama through it. I even get different dramas on my computer and phone at the same time! Maybe it’s a way to lead viewers to Kocowa.
To be honest, I’m not sure what the function is because the player doesn’t share a schedule of what it is showing or even the episode number. I don’t even think the whole episode is aired.
I only saw a clip from ep 1 of pinnochio and that was the scene with the reporters. It took a while to figure out what show it was!
I never watched “You’re Beautiful” (which I alway get mixed up with “To the Beautiful You”….. I skimmed this one, and the online reason I did it was for Ki Tae Young 😅😅)
Both FBND and YB are favourites of mine hehe. I’ve rewatched FBND a few times…. I don’t know how YB will hold up on a rewatch, as it was one of the first dramas I ever watched (when I was far less picky).
The main reason I didn’t watch DODO (though it was initially on my list) is the title. I refused to type out that ridiculously long title, even if it is based on Mozart. 😂
*pats our backs* Yes, I’ve already congratulated myself. So happy for you to be watching my FAVORITE drama again. *smiles uncontrollably* Please try to imagine @leetennant “enjoying” these final episodes.
I look forward to two things after each episode: reading JB and GF’s hilarious recaps and scrolling down to LT’s brimming-with-enjoyment comments (with the Muggy reply). I hope you watched until episode 16 LT, or I will be disappointed. 😂
It’s really unfortunate that a story with potential is being reduced to its “love triangle”. The writing is partly to blame, of course, but the fandom is just making it worse.
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu on the wall <3 !!!!

Heh. I didn’t want to bore you with the long list of dropped /on hold dramas…
That list also tends to prompt the wrath of beanies who think I should have watched those dramas. So I choose to not mention them.
Watch the last episode. It’s the best of them and Jang Geun Suk wrote it. Of course then you’ll miss the obligatory hospital and IV scene (and it isn’t for Mary!).
He does look the most anemic of the trio but Mary sheds so many tears it’s a wonder she isn’t totally dehydrated. Have you seen the “lost on the mountain everyone must search” portion of our saga? Really, it’s hard to imagine fitting more tropes into one drama.
Out of the C-dramas, I recommend LOVELY US. It has some nice messages about friendship and family. It has a “retro” feel because it’s set during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. One of the characters likes watching kdramas. 😂
MY UNICORN GIRL is ok if you want something light and don’t mind tropes. I haven’t watched any other wuxia romance so I don’t really know if THE MOON BRIGHTENS FOR YOU is good, but it was fun. I liked the OTP.
Out of the older list, I recommend: Live Up To Your Name, Shopping King Louie.
I forgot to add that I re-watched FULL HOUSE TAKE 2. It’s one of my favorite rom-coms (nothing to do with Full House 1!) ☺️
thank you 🙂
I’ve added them to my to-watch list (some were already there ^^’ , better trust the list than my brain haha)
Already watched Louie <3
(Full house take 2 , when it was out back then, I couldn't get myself to start it, is it really good ? or some so-bad-it's-good ? )
(Full house was one of my first drama, I enjoyed it , it didn't age that well though ^^')
Yay! I look forward to your 2020 list if you have one 🙂
Just to clarify for @ndlessjoie, “Full House Take 2” is a play on the characters’ names. The female lead is called Jang Man Ok (“full house” in Hanja), and the guys are idol group “Take 2”.
I don’t think it’s bad at all. It was produced jointly by SBS and Japanese companies, so some scenes are set in Japan. The spoken Chinese is also decent. It has its faults but I love it. It’s entertaining. 😅

Merry Christmas to you Toki! Thanks for reminding me about the twins in HOSPITAL PLAYLIST. They were so sweet. My favorite HP doctors: 1. Jun-wan (being a big JKH fan he had to be.) 2. Song-hwa. If Jun-wan is not available Song-hwa is definitely my go to. and 3. Jung-won. Fr. Ahn. Who really should be a ‘Father’ but I was in a distinct minority there.

Jun-wan and Song-hwa are the best. But I loved Ik-sun too. It’s hard to choose!
This is one time I will disagree with you. From the start I didn’t think Jung-won should be a priest. There is that scene where drunk Jung-won is shown crying about being too emotional and that he should become a priest. A priest sees people dying too and can’t be overly emotional, so becoming a priest to escape that won’t be a solution. His priest brother knew Jung-won’s calling was as a doctor, that’s why he always said “next year”.
That said, I didn’t like the way the drama portrayed this. They said he had to choose God or Gyeo-wool. However, that doesn’t mean he had to give up God entirely. He could still read the Bible and pray his Rosary even if he didn’t become a priest. I guess we’ll see what Season 2 has in store for them.

I thought the ending was ok. It helped me come to terms with some things that had bothered me before. What I hated was that it sidelined the father-son storyline (as well as the idol trainees) in favor of romance. I still listen to the OST though, and watch clips of YSY dancing 😂

I got interested in pinnochio after watching the db player. I’m slowly watching 2 episodes a week.
Also it has been featured for months on db though.

December 5, 2020 at 8:41 AM
It seems like DB’s tactic of getting people interested in what it’s play is working 😉😉
I did consider for a time if I wanted to do a re-watch of MLFAS because of the DB player, but didn’t end up doing it 😅 I cannot seem to get myself into any of Park Shin Hye’s dramas, ever…. I’ve tried several, and I’ve only every been able to get thru a handful:
– “Stairway to Heaven”, because she was only portraying the childhood counterpart of the main actress
– “The Heirs”, with HEAVY, HEAVY ff-ing (but who DIDN’T FF heavily for that drama?? 😂😂)
– “The Doctors”, again— heavy ff-ing
– “Memories of Alhambra”, Episode 1 and it was only because I was watching it on Netflix with a friend who’s a lover of Hyun Bin— we didn’t watch for Park Shin Hye

I’m watching pinocchio with Frabby and I’m enjoying it a lot so far. The storyline is interesting and I feel like PSH’s character is more exciting. We get to see so many sides to her.
I want her to play a character that is an assassin or someone who isn’t so ‘good’ or a candy in distress.
I’ve not seen The Call, it seems a bit too creepy. Maybe she plays a different character in that?

Oh, interesting! I was wondering what the function of the DB player was, because it’s not like you can watch a whole drama through it. I even get different dramas on my computer and phone at the same time! Maybe it’s a way to lead viewers to Kocowa.
Ayan
December 5, 2020 at 2:11 PM
To be honest, I’m not sure what the function is because the player doesn’t share a schedule of what it is showing or even the episode number. I don’t even think the whole episode is aired.
I only saw a clip from ep 1 of pinnochio and that was the scene with the reporters. It took a while to figure out what show it was!

Out of the C-dramas, I recommend LOVELY US. It has some nice messages about friendship and family. It has a “retro” feel because it’s set during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. One of the characters likes watching kdramas. 😂
MY UNICORN GIRL is ok if you want something light and don’t mind tropes. I haven’t watched any other wuxia romance so I don’t really know if THE MOON BRIGHTENS FOR YOU is good, but it was fun. I liked the OTP.
Out of the older list, I recommend: Live Up To Your Name, Shopping King Louie.

Just to clarify for @ndlessjoie, “Full House Take 2” is a play on the characters’ names. The female lead is called Jang Man Ok (“full house” in Hanja), and the guys are idol group “Take 2”.
I don’t think it’s bad at all. It was produced jointly by SBS and Japanese companies, so some scenes are set in Japan. The spoken Chinese is also decent. It has its faults but I love it. It’s entertaining. 😅
