    I’m not compatible with Baby ’cause I’m Mommy. Compatibility doesn’t count. 🥺

        LoL. You might go with one of the comments below that quiz saying that ‘I got 50% and that’s good ’cause we can complete one another’

        You know most people got 100% compatibility with him and that’s surely impossible for someone to have so many compatible with him.

        So the conclusion is that people who got low compatibility rate might actually be the ones for him. 🥺

        How come I came up with this conclusion is beyond me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

      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.

      3
      1

        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.

        🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥲🤣🤣

        2
        1

          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.😁

          2
          1

    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. 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

    2
    1

      It’s very starchy but the sauce is great. I love spicy tteokbokki sauce. 🥰

      So now you see, it’s more difficult to get low compatibility rate.

      🤣🤣🤣

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!

    If you don’t mind spoilers, I cannot recommend highly enough that you check out @LeeTennant‘s blog post about this show: https://invisibledragon.home.blog/2020/04/30/a-piece-of-your-mind-a-beautiful-ethereal-study-of-grief/ It really helped me understand and appreciate the show even more, and the insights she shared about grief resonated with me deeply. Definitely check it out after you finish, if you don’t before. :o)

      Thank you! I will check it out after I finish it. I’m already on episode 7! 🙂

        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. Thank you for sharing your piece with the world… I’m rambling and can’t say much else at the moment because I have to think. I have a feeling I’ll be gently thinking about this drama for a few days.

        1

    Liked APIYM a lot! There’s a turn of events on ep 2 that weirded me out, but the drama turned around and became super cute and comforting as both leads started (and helped each other) healing. In the end, this drama had one of the best OTP of the year, and the homestead crew is just adorbs
    Still hate the second ML, though! 😑

    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.

    3
    1

      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.

      3

        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.

        1
        1

          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!

          2

            Huh. It’s just weird then. Maybe DB gets paid for streaming these dramas? I prefer them over ads actually.

    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.

      I felt like teashing her, that’s why I asked (shhhhhh I’m evil).

            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.

    among the 4 C-dramas and the older list, would you recommend some ?

    2
    1

      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!) ☺️

        I might watch Full House Take 2 if you watch the end of Mary. I will be liberally fast forwarding if it’s anything like Full House.

          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. 😅
