Hi Bye, Mama! (Episode 3-4)
It’s no surprise that more people would soon find out about Yu Ri’s return as she continued to stay close to Seo Woo at the kindergarten where Hyun Jung’s child attends preschool. It does feel as though the drama will set up a connection between toilet boy (was it a PPL? I didn’t spot anything) and Yu Ri, thus giving her one more task to complete in her 49 days, but maybe helping the ghost family move on from an outsider point of view may help her do that as well. We may also get jealous Kang Hwa in it all! I’m still reserving judgement on Min Jung until we find out her deal in that marriage.

Nobody Knows (Episode 1-2)
So in this drama, Ahn Ji Ho is going to become the new Nam Da Reum, falling from a rooftop to begin the show and forcing the adults to investigate the incident which then have loads of red herrings. Seo Young Joo also happens to be in this show, though I’m wondering if he’s also going to play another student like in Solomon Perjury or Beautiful World. Unlike these two shows however, there are adult elements present: the church, the school foundation, a serial killer case and our main lead. It should be really interesting seeing how everything gels.

I'll Find You on a Beautiful Day (Episode 3-4)
Unfortunately, the book club scenes just aren’t appealing to me and I skipped through them: the show simply provided a one-off introductory scene to the members and let them become extras possibly until the end of the show. Last week ended with Hye Won’s awkward meeting with Bo Young while this week repeated that with her mother. With regards to the former conflict, I’m on Hye Won’s side mostly cause Bo Young’s misunderstanding excuse is terrible. The latter one though will certainly be greyer: why did mom kill dad? Also, hi there Nam Joo: please do have scenes with Baek Kyung!

Itaewon Class (Episode 9-10)
As was expected, when the show began to focus on the revenge aspect, a lot of the characters that had nothing to do with that simply faded into the background: Seung Kwon and Hyun Yi became extras who had to catch up on the Geun Soo’s family did our boss wrong thingy (poor Tony didn’t even get lines). The introduction of an Important Character to us (the old granny) also means that supporting characters such as the gang boss just disappear. I have one really bold prediction to make: Geun Won will come out from prison a better man and he’ll be the crucial flipper to ruining his dad.

JAPAN

This Guy is the Biggest Mistake in my Life - 6/10 - I don't think there is much to say about this show now.

Love lasts forever - 6.5/10 A fluff that gets fluffy trends. Its a hit of the season. 6.5 the best i can give.

Marigold in 4 Minutes - 6.5/10 I am behind and have to say this show lacks energy. It should make your heart ache but it doesn't. For most part its boring day to day life but at last few minutes every episode takes nitro boost and become exciting. Maybe kdrama world's spicy nonsense has changed some part of my viewing experience.

Boku Dake ga 17-sai no Sekai de - 7/10 I see smile of Marie Iitoyo. episode 02 starting scene is made the episode for me. Teenagers who like to read manga have already read too many time-jump, time-skip scenario that when it happens in real life they come up with most nonchalant reaction. Popcron ready for drama.

Yuru Camp - Big promotion of camp products. cute girls selling cool products aka Idols want you to have these products for nice camping trip. @screentime - where is @alua

This is not a Business Expense - 7.5 out of 10 Months ago i had written about it. I have yet to finish last 3 episodes. Manga to live-action. If we have to do comparison then this kind of story works better in manga as you are able to happily consume the humour. In 3d medium you need more than dialogues and expression to make things work. Still worth watch aka good timepass.

Ship of Theseus - aka Ship sailing on tears of hero. Not a single episode goes by when he doesn't heartily cry. This dude takes tears shower.

No Need to Know - Still in watchlist

Flu in the house... and I got sick as well. Keeping up only with Hi Bye Mama and Weather. Both are increasing my paper tissue consumption...

Little Seo-Woo needs hugs and showers of love, then she will bloom... so wake up family and start caring for those alive!!

Eun Seob seems to have enough hugs at home... but... what secrets / pains is he hiding?

I'm also still ff-watching Never Twice and they are ridiculous with the villains. Forget Terrible and Selfish Haeri... and give me the Baby!!! 😍😍Preferably with doting Kwak Dong Yeon 😊

And somebody finally started subbing Miss Truth!! Chinese dramas, especially wuxias (and other ancient China ones), often don't work for me... but this one with the female coroner and two charismatic male leads is so far keeping my interest.

Watching only two shows at the moment
Nirvana In Fire - Loving it so far. I needed a short break in between and now am back binging. At ep 29
Hyena: I love this show!!

And Kingdom 2 are you here yet? Can’t wait!!!!

Nobody Knows I'm curious about the connections between the bullying, the serial crimes and the weird Church.

I'll Find You on a Beautiful Day My favourite drama! I love everything and this week without episode will be very frustrating >_<

Money Game I don't understand fans who wants a relationship between Eugene and Hye Joon. I really like Eugene's character because he's a good villain. But he tried to shock her in the past, he tied a man to a crane and hit him after, he works for bad people... Not really a good base for a love relationship. Otherwise, I really liked this drama. I didn't understand all the financial part but the characters and the questions about the place of the government in the economy of a country were interesting.

Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life and No Second Chances I remember why I stopped to watch the week-end dramas, the interesting part is too small for 50 episodes.

Itaewon Class Geun Soo passing in the dark side of the Force is interesting to watch.

Hi Bye, Mama! I'm still not sure about this drama. But the actors are good.

Nobody Knows: This show is sad sad sad. I am not hopeful at all in this show. Usually I would hate that, but it is kind of refreshing that there will be no happy endings.

I'll find you on a beautiful Day: I am a fan. The first two episodes were trying a little too hard to be thoughtful, but it has fully settled into itself now. I love the slow burn of this romance. I also enjoy that Hye Won always questions Eun Seob. She always to seems to be wondering why he is helping her. I love that although we the audience know that they like each other, that we are still finding out their motivations. Hye Won is such a strong character and it is great. Also Park Min Young is the oldest lead on set by at least 6 years. That is a change.

Hyena: She is now part of Song & Kim. I am still not sure I understand the motivations of Geum Ja or Pil Joong, but we shall see.

Itaewon Class: Brava PSR. Yi Seo needed to hear he didn't like her romantically. I want more kdramas to emulate this plan, you cannot force someone to like you based on effort. That is not how it works. Guen Soo can learn from that too. What Geun Soo did was petty and mean spirited, but Yi Seo has been nasty to him for some time now, so she deserved it. All that being said, I do feel bad for her, this is a harsh lesson for someone who is spoiled and used to getting what she wants. My hope is she learns to grow from this, but that may not happen. My poor Toni, at least he is meeting his grandmother. Also please kdramas, please stop acting like Africa is some small city where everyone knows each other, it is a whole continent, and Guinea is a whole country. Also question for Beanies, is this going to have 2 seasons, because we are at episode 11 and still in the past?

Hi Bye Mama: Well the best friend is aware. This should be interesting. I am honestly surprised she hasn't run into more people she knows with the way she just wonders all over the place.

Tell Me What you saw: This is still fine.

- Itaewon Class
- The Cursed - this is so interesting!!
- Tell Me What You Saw

Watching tons of youtube videos lately that I lessen my kdrama watching time. I got addicted with koreanenglishmen. They're so funny! I also watched asmr baking videos.

My Holo Love - Loved it! I actually picked it up because I thought it would be cheesey and just the perfect thing to play while I do other things, and I also liked Yoon Hyun Min. It was more of a healing drama than I had expected. I was riveted and I binged the whole thing. It was a tight 12-episode run , and it stuck the landing, leaving me perfectly satisfied. The drama did a great job at depicting a palpable sense of loneliness in the characters even though they do have people that love them around them. As I got to really know Holo, how he came to be, and what he really meant to the characters, I also felt a yearning for a Holo to be my always-there companion. I was dreading a love triangle because there really wasn't much of one and the love/friendship between Holo, Nando, and So Yeon was very touching. So were the love/friendship of their friends, families, and colleagues.

Story aside, I really liked the visuals and music of the drama. the depiction of AI and all the various technical aspects were surprisingly well-done. The actors also performed wonderfully, with special shoutout to Yoon Hyun Min who played like 6 versions of Holo/Nan-do. There was one moment that triggered me to think of Psychopath Diary. When I looked up the writer, he also wrote Psychopath Diary, which I also loved.

Now that Dr. Romantic 2 and Stove league are done, not many ongoing dramas interest me. Dropped The Game and Tell me What You Saw. The former is getting more absurd and the later is not interesting enough despite having Jang Hyuk and Jin Seo-yeon. Is Nobody Knows any good so far?

I finished watching Investigation Couple/Partners for Justice season 1 and 2. There should be an award for creating the nastiest characters for the writer. They seem to be able capture the worst sides of human being and planting it into the bad guys’ characters. Even those gray ones grate on my nerves. I want to smack so many people in season 1 but learn my lesson by fast forwarding through the bad guys’ scenes in season 2. It is leaning towards overdramatic side, but I like Sherlock Holmes, so it works for me.

Jung Jae-young and Oh Man-seok are awesome tho. Jung Yu-mi’s character also grows on me, she’s a green prosecutor, but at least she knows her place. Kang Seung-yeon is great when she’s channeling her inner female Baek Beom. No Min-woo is much better when he is the insane Dr. K. And it’s been so long since I last saw him. I was wondering who’s the female doctor with such a broad shoulder and why is her chest flat. Then I literally screamed that’s No Min-woo, that’s how pretty he is. Jang Cheol’s life is so tragic. If they want to make another season I hope he returns, since his body was never found. I could watch another season of cranky Baek Beom telling everyone not to write a novel.

Finished:

THIRTY BUT SEVENTEEN: Yet another example of why I love kdramas so much. What a lovely, encouraging, feel-good show ❤️. Also, it seems like there’s been a few of us who have been watching or rewatching this show lately. I keep seeing it mentioned 🙂.

Watching:

I WILL FIND YOU WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE/I WILL FIND YOU ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY/WHEN THE WEATHER IS FINE (OR WHATEVER THE HECK THIS DRAMA IS CALLED): I’m one of those people who can enjoy slower paced shows, so I’m really liking this one so far. It’s soothing. I’ve been wanting to see a kdrama primarily set in the countryside like this. And I’ve already fallen hard for Eun-seob. I’m interested to learn his backstory. His present life seems lovely, but the show is hinting at some hidden darkness. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next episodes, but I just found out I’ll have to wait an extra week 🙁. Stay safe everyone.

THE PRODUCERS: I was looking for something to watch while waiting for new I Will Find You episodes and landed on this. It has familiar faces (Kim Soo-hyun, Gong Hyo-jin, IU, Cha Tae-hyun), and it’s only 12 episodes. I just started so I don’t have an opinion yet, but I’m hoping for an enjoyable in-between watch.

Itaewon Class - Just caught up with last week's eps. I kind of saw Chairman Jang's twist coming, though didn't see how it was going to go down. His ego is going to be his downfall, obviously. The mind games and intrigue and back-and-forth is starting to get old and tired. I'm sticking around for PSJ and the characters.

Hyena - I was all-in for the first two episodes, but now it seems we've crossed into regular lawyer show territory: head partners making weird shady background deals, case/client-of-the-week, etc. All reasons I have trouble sticking with procedurals and medical shows in general. HOWEVER - the leads in this are still fiiiiiiire. Every time they're on screen together the chemistry is palpable, I'm definitely into them. So I'll stick around for the leads, with my own stash of secret wishes for their story, but I'm likely going to FFW a lot of the other "plot".

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo - I just watched the last episode and am devastated. Devastated that it's over. There was so much hype about this show, I'd read it everywhere, I was befuddled. Man, am I glad I gave in and watched. LSK and NJH are now my ultimate favourite couple - not only cause they're adorable and, let's face it, extremely attractive together. But they're also the only couple I've seen so far that didn't have any wishy washy noble idiot interlude. They literally stuck by each other through thick and thin - it was so refreshing. And of course the rest of the cast was stellar. This is for sure going on my rewatch list.

Itaewon Class Ep 1-10 - A boring week. No social comment, just same old attempts at taking control of a company. Every scene between villains and hero makes me embarrassed and the special secret sauce moment was ridiculous. This show makes me miss Money Flower. If anyone had any doubts about Yi-Seo's loyalty or villain's greed they were not paying much attention.

Hi Bye Mama Ep 1-3 - I don't feel any sympathy for most of the characters, they are not real enough and I hate the premise she was allowed to come back in her own body making her family miserable again. I know the idea is to make them move on but it's too absurd to be funny.

The Novelist Ep 1-3 - I should be liking this more because it has all the right elements for a proper BL but there is no real romance.

Because of You - Ep 1-2 - The eps are so short and has too many characters, I don't get why BL writers don't think about exploring just one couple instead of coming up with all kinds of crazy boring conflicts.

What I watched this week: my dreams for a new SSR drama shattered into pieces 😢🤭 #dramatic

I watched Master in the House. Lee Seung Gi has an amazing voice. Also a trot legend wants to sign a contract with SSR 😆.

I watched Forest up to ep 11 or half of ep 6. I'm taking my sweet time to watch this, taking long breaks in between. It's a so-so drama. Nothing exciting.

Watched the depature of first gen Grey's Anatomy member Alex Karev from the show. It was an okay send-off imo. At least he's alive and not mauled by a bear or something. Fans of the show didn't like his sendoff though, many said it was character assasination. Me: good bye Alex. I didn't realize he was missing since mid s16. This show has too many characters 😅.

Today I started watching Handsome Tigers. Ep 1 was quite dramatic. I like sport shows and I like basketball. But I'm also impatient...I ffwd several parts like the husband and wife date parts. I'm interested to watch them play more. Player no10 has caught eye. He's good! (Ps: I hope they will invite SSR and Kim Hyuk to play with them. Hehehe)

Is anyone watching the basketball variety show Handsome Tigers?
I’m not really a fan of basketball and I started watching it since I like Lee Sang-yoon and Cha Eun-woo, but I didn't know that basketball games could be so exciting and thrilling! LSY is a really good and stable player as the team captain. CEW is really hardworking, fast-learner and consistently improving (and how does his face still shine after running around the court, all sweaty? I'm so jealous.) The team's ace, model Moon Soo-in is the breakout star and I won't be surprised if he starts getting casting offers after this show.
The team struggled so much against more experienced amateur players at first, but practices and hard work will always pay off, and it's nice to see them growing and improving as a team. I've been enjoying this show lately.

Finished Airing

BEAUTY INSIDE: Wow, I had so much fun watching these couple episodes! I can’t believe I held off on watching it when it was airing, especially when I knew I would just love this. Episode 6 is definitely going to be the highlight episode our of the series for me. Kim Min-seok has a fan in me now! (ep. 5-6)

Completed

HISTORY3: MAKE OUR DAYS COUNT: I think I’m one of the few who actually enjoyed this drama while it was airing.

But that ending was… wow. Just what a mess overall.

Since I was expecting it, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Just incredibly bizarre. I’m not quite sure what to make of it.

It almost looked like Hao Ting was saying his goodbyes and was planning on committing suicide. I don’t know.

This whole last episode (and if I’m really honest with myself, most of the drama) is a prime example of messy/bad writing. I don’t even know what the writer was trying to convey in some of the conversations during the last episode. Some of this could be due to a clumsy English translation. But what I suspect more, is that the writer was trying to go for a shocking and meaningful ending and just completely and utterly failed.

Would I recommend this? Probably not. It’s not horrendous, but it’s probably not up to the quality (in some cases) that we’re used to from the other HISTORY series.

There were parts I enjoyed. The acting by the main couple was decent. There wasn’t much chemistry between them, but again, not unbearable. The friendships were great, and watching this group was a joy at times. Overall, if you consider want to say you’ve watched the entire HISTORY series, go for it. Just be prepared for the story to gradually unravel (as well as for the incredibly out of place explicit moments). (ep. 19-20) *3.75 out of 5 stars*

Tell Me What You Saw: 7.9 More case-of-the-week goodness. Well, relative goodness. Its cases-of-the-week are not as good as Mystery Queen 1 or even Voice 1, but still much better than certain sequels.

The Cursed: 8.0 Easily obtains photos of certain deserving public figures... struggles to find correct Chinese characters for names of non-Chinese persons... no idea how to obtain personal items. And should the characters be traditional or simplified?

Nobody Knows: 7.8 Kim Sae-ron is back in high school after her grown-up role in Leverage?

Hi Bye Mama: 8.5

The Game: Towards Zero: OMG! They did it!? In a kdrama!!!? So even if the FL dies, there won't be an angry virgin ghost. Thank goodness!

Hyena is my definite crack drama at the moment. Haven’t seen such a sizzling chemistry between the leads in a long time. I can watch them bicker all day and I would still be smiling on my own. 😘

Itaewon Class - Not much development after the arrest of Geun Woo. I’ve been filling my time listening to the OSTs on loops, especially the songs by Kim Feel, Gaho and Ha HyunWoo. Lovely.

Not Korean - Locke and Key. I binge-watched this in 2 days. It was so good! I was scared, yet I can’t stop watching. I want to stop watching, but I can’t cause I want to know how it ends. Magical, yet evil, and in the middle of it is the bond between the family members. For everyone with access to it, do watch it. You won’t be disappointed.

Itaewon Class - I'm enjoying @egads turn as the loan shark with a heart of coal.

I'll Find You on a Beautiful Day and Hi Bye, Mama - Behind and may drop Hi Bye.

No Second Chances - A reminder of why I avoid weekenders and dramas over 16 episodes.

I really wish they weren’t pushing romantic pairings in this show since none of the potential couplings are healthy. I’m rooting for everyone to just stay friends, but I fully expect to be disappointed.

Itaewon Class would benefit from a Reply 1994. Just drop a random Jung Yu-mi into Itaewon for Park Sae-ro-yi. The two of them were adorable together on Youn's Kitchen Season 2 where Park Seo-joon was husband material. But Show is going to disappoint me and force Sae-ro-yi to settle for less than he deserves.

I’ve found Chairman Jang a pretty stock villain, personally

Chairman Jang is a cartoon villain, I can't take him seriously. That's why I've always hated Jang Geun-won and his smug-ass face more.

I'll find you on a beautiful day. This is the show I'm enjoying the most. Blame it on SKJ and on its sweet and slow path.
I want to say that I don't think EunSeob is a lonely person. He's surrounded by loving friends and family, but also enjoys being alone. It doesn't mean he's lonely. I don't think he is.

No Second Chances. I hope WooJae and HaeRi live unhappily ever after. I can't believe he's taking her back and becoming the most stupid man ever. They deserve each other. And apart from the beautiful pink cloak Ye Ji Won was wearing, I'm only relieved that there are two episodes left and it will be over and I will never watch a weekender again. Please, let our trio reunite and be happy.

Hi Bye Mama. I love this show and I want to know how it evolves. I suppose YuRi's mission will be to help other ghosts as well as help deal their family with their loss (they all need her help son they can all be a family again even without her). I don't foresee YuRi staying alive with her family. I just don't.

I'm some episodes behind Tell me what you saw and I want to see Nobody knows. I guess that considering next week not all shows are airing, I will be able to catch up.

Someday or one day. Oh, my poor heart. I'm on half of episode 10. I don't seem to find the courage to go on, because I know what's going to happen (at least I think I know) and I know I'll be devastated. But also I want to know. But I don't want to know... I'm sure you all know the feeling...

BEAUTIFUL LOVE, WONDERFUL LIFE: I have come to the conclusion that none of the couples really deserve to be together.
HI BYE MAMA (ep 3-4): I am getting a light CHOCOLATE vibe as the series progresses. It is more about getting the living back to living after Yuri's passing. I think Yuri will be getting her husband and second wife back together for the benefit of her child.
HIT THE TOP: I am at the point of the creepy reveal of the father-son-friend love triangle. In time traveling rules, is the father still 24?
In addition to variety shows, I have stumbled across more k-celebrity youtube channels: Ha Ji Won and Han Ye Seul are interesting slice of life content.

Didn't watch much this week (although I guess five eps is a lot)
1. Itaewon Class: Ep 10. I had a feeling Sae Ro Yi was right but wow couldn't help but feel a bit bad for Geun Won.
2. When the weather is fine: Ep 3. There's not a lot happening in the drama but I like it and don't mind the slowness. I am curious about what's up with Eun Seob.
3. Hyena: Ep 3- 4. Poor Hee Jae, his victory is short lived. And now she has joined the firm. Things are still fun though I get irritated at them at times.
4. Hi, bye Mama: Ep 3. This episode had some hilarious moments. Feel a bit bad for Min Jung.

Normally I would have a lot more to say but this week had been tiring and I didn't do much watching and won't for quite some weeks what with my exams even nearer.

I finished up "Money Game," and I was so glad Heo Jae ended up right where he belonged. I also see that Shim Eun Kyung won Best Actress at the Japanese Academy Awards. She did an excellent job in MG. I'm still working on "Person Who Gives Happiness," long but so good. I LOVE Kdramas where one of the main leads will NOT give up on the person they love, those type of characters are my very favorite.

Since I'm on semi-hiatus, the only thing I'm watching is Itaewon Class and I'm four episodes behind.... is what I came here to type. But looking over the other comments, I remember I am also watching Never Twice. I had forgotten, which says a lot about how that show is unfolding. Weekenders got to weekender I guess. I'm almost there though and I can fast forward all the plotlines I don't care about - which has moved from 80% to 95% of the show.

I dropped Forest but the recaps give me life and also @yyishere messages me to complain about it whenever she's watching so I feel like I'm still watching it a bit. It's all about the Clams, my friend. The Dropbears are a red herring.

What I'm watching is to catch up on Itaewon Class and When the Weather is Nice.
IC .....I dont know. I either got burnt out from the drama or the comment section.
When the Weather is Nice I really enjoyed the first ep I just needed to mentally be in a place to sink into this lovely slower paced world.

Never Twice: Oh Woo Jae. You dope.

After two bouts of not feeling well and some stress I was opting for some light watches with the help of some FF.
All I Want For Love is You lots of fast forward, which is maybe why I never got behind the heroine joining the hero in medical school. Maybe I missed some crucial revelation that she really wants to do this instead of teaching? Even she said that she will be nothing more than an average doctor. Just think of the patients. But the pig was super cute.

Love Last Forever: Another one with the heroine choosing to become a nurse after falling for a doctor, lol. But this somehow works better for me. Maybe because I can see how she actually likes the job and is finding her own fulfillment in it and helping the patients. Less FF use, but not for everyone as it is an age gap and work place romance with a senior.

A Little Thing Called First Love: it was sweet. I do like that the makeover happened over years and naturally without the heroine or hero being invested in it.

This is Not a Business Expense: it is about the fiscal department. Basically accounting I guess? On paper not my thing yet it is working for me.

2gether: I'm not sure what I think about this but I'm watching it.

Has anyone tried You are My Destiny the new Japanese adaptation of Fated to Love You? It was my first Kdrama so tempted.

When STOVE LEAGUE ended my wife and I were at a loss for a new favorite show. The wait is over: I’LL FIND YOU ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY is our very clear current favorite. Miss Victrix could not have said it better than when she described the great cinematography and excellent direction in this show. There is indeed more forest in this show than in FOREST- and now I know why: FOREST is missing the sounds of the forest- it is almost always silent, except for the sound of the river, and that is a huge mistake. In I’LL FIND YOU ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY we hear the forest and the mountain- the sound of the wind in the trees and the sound of the trees creaking, the cries of the crows, the owls and hawks. If you have ever been out in a forest in the wintertime, and I have, this is exactly what a winter forest sounds like. Add to that the great screenwriting (the novel also has to have been good- I wonder if it is available in English translation- or is this yet another reason to crack down on learning Korean?). The actors are doing justice to that writing – Park Min-young is wonderful in a character that is so different from Secretary Kim. But really all of the characters are rising to the challenge- even the minor ones. The show starts slow- but in fact it should start that way, the pacing of this story is marvelous. In some ways this drama reminds me of aspects of YONG-JIU GROCERY STORE- including the rural community and a female lead who was ostracized when she was young and struggles with the pain and trauma of her past as well as the tightness of the writing. It also reminds me also of the insight-filled writing of BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST LIFE. But make no mistake- this is its own story and it is quite a story.

I have only one complaint about I’LL FIND YOU ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY: It looks like we will have to wait another week before we see the next episode. As an old sailor I have some truly appropriate, but alas unprintable, language which applies to such a situation.

We will continue watching FOREST now that Viki finally has the subtitles done. I have given up on the romance between the male and female leads, now being convinced that our real OTP is Choi-chang a brave rescue team member/firefighter and Oh Bo-mi, the female forest ranger. That ‘secondary romance’ is far more natural and has far more real chemistry than our Official OTP. This is the first drama for No Gwang-Sik, who plays Choi-chang and, from what I can see, he has a bright future ahead of him.

We continue to watch the T-drama comedy BETWEEN (Viki’s title) aka THE SANDWICH GIRL. It is a good time-filler, fairly well written but also predictable. It is a pleasant watch.

We are also watching the T-drama rom-com THE WONDER WOMAN. So far it is good but subtitling is slow on Viki for this one.

So I finished watching No Second Chances aka Never Twice and I still can't wrap my head around it. It's good that I watched every second episode lately and with higher speed because I didn't waste as much of my precious time for something like this. "I'm the reason your shoulder got broken and dislocated so I'll be your shoulder you can lean on to the rest of your life."

The thing about Hi, Bye Mama is I actually hope Cha Yu Ri can come back for good. My reasoning is because shes not greedy or selfish, she actually isnt even trying to come back, she is just trying to help her daughter and others as she spends her limited amount of time on Earth. For no other reason, she should come back because of that. Most people in her shoes would move heaven and earth to stay and she is doing the opposite. I like her character immensely!!
I also feel the husband and her have unresolved issue. Everytime the husband comes on the screen, I just want to cry because he usually looks so sad. Aww this drama is such a tear jerker. Anywho just my two cents on Yu Ri, hope its a happy ending, I am scared it wont be but I truly hope they surprise me.

Hi, bye Mamma
Haven't watched this week's episodes, but I am fully invested in this show. Kim Tae hee is such a beautiful actress, really... I am not interested in women, but I really enjoy watching her. And for the sake of fiction, I am with her character in this series 100%. I smile when she smiled and I cry when she cries.
Lee Kyu Hyung is also great for me. He is such a great actor. Makes me feel all his sadness and grieve and sorrows and loneliness and just everything! I feel this drama is all about feelings and recovery.

Romantic teacher doctor Kim 2
It is stressful and very dramatic. The evils are really evil, almost without a reason; they are also very annoying. But, still... I come back every once in a while to watch one or two episodes. No binge watching although it is over.... my heart cannot take it.

Chinese
the brightest star in the sky
Two more episodes and that's it. This drama is a waste. The writer has some senses sometimes; there are few dialogues very insightful, and even a couple of beautiful lessons. The relationship between the brother and sister feels very good and organic. The father is annoying but I am glad the son shows respect enough because it is his father anyways.
The company's politics are a joke, but that's usually the case in any drama.
But man... The plot is a mess. The pace is boring and the chemistry of the leads almost nonexistent. 😑😑😑😑😑

When the weather is nice: started watching this week and caught up. Am amongst the few who does not like the book club. For me it just doesn't match the story and it misses something that I can't quite get my finger on. But I enjoy this series a lot. It's refreshing to see PMY in such a different role from her previous 2 from the 2 previous years. Am particularly impressed with SKJ who is awesomely portraying Eun Seop.

Itaewon class: started this and I am on episode 2. I find the villain to be too "villain" and left me wondering if this is too far from reality. The plot is a typical "underdog" story I am quite used to in my several years of Kdrama watching. Though I enjoy watching, I was wondering if there was smthg else that made it such a high rated and popular drama at the moment. I will keep on watching to see what it is that make it so special.

Hotel Del Luna: on episode 10. Still enjoying it!

I caught up with HYENA, and uff what a show. The leads are absolutely fantastic on screen together, and the show should spend more time with just them. I wonder if they auditioned them together when casting them? Such a high degree of love-hate on-screen chemistry is so rare to see.

I'm also really really enjoying WHEN THE WEATHER IS FINE (or whatever the latest short version of the title is), which is a nice foil to the energy and chaos of HYENA. This is such an unusually slow paced drama, and also a lovely study of introversion. I have no idea what to watch while waiting for the airing to resume. :p

I tried watching but ended up fast-forwarding through DON'T DARE TO DREAM (aka JEALOUSY INCARNATE). It was kind of ridiculous.

I have got my aunt recently addicted to k-dramas, and made her watch CLOY and was very amused when she couldn't resist saying, "How cute he is", every time Lee Sin-Young (who plays the "handsome soldier", Park Gwang Beom) came on screen. I have never heard her say this before of anyone, so it was especially funny.

At thr moment I'm only watching Itaewon Class - I love strong female characters and I also really like Park Seo Joon, so it is a win!
My holo love: a few episodes still missing. Its a nice drama, but nothing special in my book, so I may watch the rest or not.
Also I'm rewatching Search: www for the 3rd time. As I said: I love me some strong female characters.

HYENA - Its a well written drama. I was curious as to why its not getting that much hype considering Ji Hoon is there. Lol. Timing must have been an a*s, a lot of kdrama is being shown simultaneously that has caught the viewers' clamor, one is Itaewon Class.
I tried watching ep1 of Hyena and surprisingly I cant get enough of the next scenes and so i watched the first five episodes in one sitting. Yep, that's how interesting the storyline is. But there's really one thing that's throwing me off- dont get me wrong, Hye Soo is BRILLIANT. One of the most respected actresses in SKorea- and she did really GREAT in this drama, hands down. But They cant really conceal her age. She's almost 50 yrs old and sorry, but she doesnt look younger than her age. Her "love story" with the male lead(Ji Hoon) is really turning me off. Yep, call me petty haha. She can literally pass as Ji hoon's mother, tbh. They mentioned that she's supposed to be "41" in Hyena. Cmon, she dsnt look 41 for Pete's sake. Yep, she is undoubtedly pretty but the love line between her and Ji hoon in this drama should be cut off. Otherwise, this is a wonderful drama- not your average tweety pattootie romcom; so brace yourself. You have been warned. Lol
