Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching
by DB Staff
I love it when the weather turns slightly chilly, and you feel like reaching for a blanket and snuggling up on the couch with some good dramas. Maybe in honor of Halloween I should watch something scary? I’m taking recommendations! I’ll just have to convince javabeans to watch it with me, because there’s always safety in numbers. –girlfriday

Fantastic: Somehow this week I didn’t feel like watching dramas very much. These lulls come and go every once in a while, and I figured, don’t force it and just roll with it. I managed to watch this one because it was ending, and while there were moments in this drama’s run that were really very fun and heartwarming, by the time the last episode rolled around, I’d sort of fallen out of love with it. Everything seemed pretty much right for a finale, but I didn’t have much of an opinion about it.
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo: You’ve killed off everyone interesting and the remaining survivors are either dumb or dull, and now it feels like Lee Jun-ki is acting in a drama by himself. *mourns*
1% of Anything: I’m sorry, Drinking Solo and Park Ha-sun, I betrayed you and jumped OTP-ship before you finished! The Ha Suk-jin romance with Jeon So-min crept up on me and now this show is the highlight of my week — the couple isn’t about big drama or grand romance, but there’s a satisfaction in watching two mature, modern adults figuring out that they like each other and falling in love the more they date (okay, and also worrying about their “contract” relationship being purely a business deal — this is a K-drama!). Their loveline feels natural and realistic, and I love that even though the relationship has been pretty chaste so far, the drama’s attitude isn’t prudish; the characters are frank about sex being a part of relationships and discuss whether or not to sleep together, and it’s refreshing.

The Man Living in Our House: This rom-com has a pretty bizarre setup, but I like the mystery of not knowing whether our hero is a shady mom-seducing conman or a gangster-turned-chef with a heart of gold (strangely not that uncommon in dramaland). And once they started in on the banmal-jondaemal father-daughter hijinks, I was sold.
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo: Here I was thinking that this drama was going to give us the untold story of how Wang So was really just a misunderstood dude. But now that he’s king, he’s just as assy and capricious as all the other kings. Is there something in the water? No really, are they still poisoning the water in that palace? Because everyone who sits on that throne goes evil!
Fantastic: I finally caught up by the show’s end, and overall it was a sweet drama that had some great friendships in it, but I was never hooked. I was honestly pretty confused by the chaste romance, and everything was just a little too pat for my liking. I do wish noona-sshi’s storyline had been given more time to develop too, because that part of the drama was fun. The one awesome takeaway from this drama is Joo Sang-wook’s foot-acting. That will never not be funny.
Drinking Solo: I’m sad to see this one go. The slice-of-life stories were so relatable and easy to watch, and it seemed like a sitcom that could’ve had a hundred episodes. It was a show that made me nostalgic for High Kick, both in content and format. On the bright side, if they’re really planning to make a Season 2, this isn’t really goodbye!
Gogh’s Starry Night: This was an easy one to pick up on a whim because it’s only four episodes. It’s a light workplace rom-com and there’s really not much to the story—it’s almost like coming in during the middle of a show, because characters already like each other in the office by the time we meet them. Fluffy, breezy, and best of all, short.
Shopping King Louis: I found the separation pretty pointless, and was hoping that Shopping King Louis would’ve found a more creative solution to the same old, same old. I just don’t care about anyone or anything if Louis and Bok-shil aren’t together. That’s the only thing I ever ask of you, Show, and you gave me nothing but crumbs this week.
On the Way to the Airport: I like the Jeju Island portion of the show, even though sometimes it feels like the drama is one big advertisement to shirk your responsibilities and pick up and move to Jeju, where no one has any cares because it’s just too pretty there to be stressed. Maybe it’s not marriage that’s suffocating, but the city. Waitaminute…
Jealousy Incarnate: That fight about fighting was so good that I replayed the whole thing just to appreciate the banter and the performances. This show has a gift for turning the most mundane, petty arguments cut from real life into hilarious and emotionally satisfying story beats. And I love, love, love Jo Jung-seok in love so, so much.
chickachunga
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo: I’m three episodes behind on this show, but I have a feeling I didn’t miss out on any noteworthy moments. Or the moments in theory are noteworthy, but probably weren’t executed all that well. I’ll just stick with Heads’ recaps until I feel like returning.
Drinking Solo: I started this when I got bored of Moon Lovers, and I’m so glad I checked it out! It’s fun, cute, and an easy watch. Park Ha-sun as the underdog No Geu-rae is adorable, and I’m always looking forward to seeing the celebrity impression, Ha Seok-jin’s “high quality” food that’ll accompany his beer, and the hijinks of the three gosiwon buddies. I really want a funky tracksuit now.

4 Episodes version is bad one. 5 episodes content wrapped in 4 episodes. Around 75 minutes of content is removed and editing felt quite odd for 1st 2 episodes.
Better to watch 20 episodes.

You are talking about opening? which in most of the episodes of 1 minute. Then we have 1.50minutes pics+preview. I FF those ones. If you are talking about those star ratings then yeah they are repeated for main male character many times.
I am watching SBS version now. 2 episodes watched and transition from 1 moment to other, 1 scene to next one is not properly done. Easily noticed.

Agreed with you on JI comment, girlfriday. Sometimes, fighting is really not necessary and a conplete waste of time, but some other time, you need to do that instead of retreating behind a wall and let the misunderstanding pile high. And I love the fact that Hwa-shin instinctively know this and tried to get a rise out of her so that they can fight properly and be done with that swap out issue. And Jo Jung-seok is too swoony in this drama...

The only new drama I'm watching right now is Gogh, the Starry Night. I liked the first episode well enough, but I find myself almost reluctant to watch the next. I dunno. I'm still very much afflicted with post-Moonlight withdrawals so my drama-watching palate is a little dull.
Is The Man Living in Our House good? I need something sweet and funny until Legend of the Blue Sea airs and I find myself uninterested in currently airing dramas.

I watched the first two episodes of The Man Living in Our House and absolutely enjoyed it. I'd recommend it. The whole father-daughter hijinks killed me. Su Ae is amazing in this role; it was refreshing to see her as a funky adorable rom com heroine after the mope-fest that was Mask. Kim Young Kwang is absolutely hilarious as her 'father'.

Finally watching the jdrama Pride after years of putting it off. Loving it so far.
I honestly forgot to watch Scarlet Heart. :o I'll catch up after Pride. Ended Fantastic and really enjoyed it. I think the separation in Louis was done well. It didn't feel like they were separated because the emotional bond was still so strong. I don't like the possibility of double amnesia but I'll see how it plays out next week. By the way, the OST for Louis is so beautiful.
Already downloaded Drinking Solo and will have a go at that soon.

"I was born to lo-ove you, every single day of my li-ife!"
Every time I hear this Queen song now, I think of Pride. I'm quite sure Shopping King Louis made a reference to Pride when Louis is running to Bok Shil with all the heating pads on him because they played this song.
I've tried to watch but only finished a few j-dramas. Pride is one of them, though the passivity of the heroine got to me. The Last Cinderella is my one and only favorite. Are there any jdramas where the heroine is not passive (though doesn't need to be aggressive) and the chemistry between leads is intense?

Actually, the first that comes to mind is Hana Yori Dango - not only is it 1000% better (and better acted) than BOF, the leads secretly dated for like 9 years and are engaged. So, yeah - chemestry.
Also, Rich man, poor man, Love Revolution, Good Luck, the movie kimi ni todoke (she's shy, but not passive imo. She can be hilariously straightforward. I liked this one so much I translated it.), Sapuri (seriously, the herione is AWESOME), the remake of Hana Kimi (yes, the god of acting oguri shun is in the original, but the remake is better plotted and has more romance), Around 40, Magari Kado no Kanojo (not sure.if.It's been translated - I watched it raw a few years back. Soooo good), Oishi Proposal and more....

Don't know about chemistry but I just finished watching saikou no rikon, and it's amazing. I think all four has distinct chemistry with each other, even eita and go ayano...and it's totally hilarious,mind boggling and laugh out loud kind of drama. Eita's best performance of all I've seen from him so far. One of the fact that I love about jdramas are the dialogues. You can just sit back and listen to the monologues which have the tendency to make you connect even if you don't belong in their world. At one point I thought they were too silly to reckon, and then they would make me laugh or hate next. But may be the humane effect of the drama made it worth watching after all . Now I'm sad it's over and has been looking for the special episode except it's not available anywhere :'(

I thought I was the only one who got the 'Pride' feels in that scene!
Try 'Kimi wa Petto' or 'You are my Pet'. The heroine is outwardly quite strong but secretly lonely. Plus, it stars Matsumoto Jun.

@junny -- Love your list!
@Barbrey -- The heroine in Over Time exactly fits the bill re: not passive, but not aggressive either. She takes her time, figures out what she wants, and then takes steps towards it.
I didn't find Pride's heroine to be all that passive...more reticent? Wanting to be certain of the other's feelings?
All this talk of the drama is making me wanna watch it again!

Without spoilers - Pride is AMAZING, and while there is a little last half slump (seriously, what drama doesn't?), the ending is 100% happy and to me, fully satisfying. It's not at all a cheese in the trap or gu family book half-assed kinda maybe happy if you squint juusssst rigghhht ending, it's actually, completely a good ending.
One of my top 5 all time favorite dramas, come to think of it. Also why I love Queen, and Checkers ("Namida no, requesto, saigo no, requesto~ !) Ah, old school music. I got so many weird looks when I lived in Japan and named Checkers as one of my favorite Japanese bands....apparently it's quite odd to be white and have heard of them, let alone tracked down and listen/ed to most of their albums...hahaha

I have to admit I didn't have high expectations for 1% of Anything, despite being a long-time Ha Suk-jin fan and a fan of the original way back when, but it's really grown on me. It's nice to see two relatively well-adjusted adults who approach their relationship as adults rather than as overgrown children, who communicate with each other about their problems and what they want from each other and respect each other's differences. They're obviously growing together the more time they spend together, and anyone with eyes can see that they're pretty much a perfect match. (And, er, I may have watched episode 8 more than a few times. There's just so much cute!) The only problem is that Dramax is a premium channel, and I'm not paying an extra 10,000 won a month just to watch this show, so I have to catch up on the weekend when Hubs goes out to play soccer or try to stream it on my phone on my work commute.
The only other thing I've been watching is Moon Lovers, but let's face it, at this point I'm just riding it out so I can see how they send Hae Su back to the future and what kind of reincarnation Lee Junki gets. My texts to my friend have gotten increasingly ranty over the past few weeks, haha.

it called One Percent of Something in Drama Fever and I actually asked my friend account for it, --- so I really like how the drama developed,
I remember the tag for the 2003 version is
The odds are 99 to 1 against love in this romantic drama
and it's really true in the meaning that Jae I and Dada will not gonna meet in the normal way and not gonna choose each other in their normal way, but it changes by that 1 chance the grandfather take,
after they spending time, we all can see how they are a match and this is a good message for another couple, spends the time to actually do something together at least once a week for your relationship and listen to each other,

Moon Lovers: Welcome on board the Goryeo KTX. Don't expect us to lower the speed so you can enjoy the scenery, ain't nobody got time for that, therefore please fasten your seatbelt and hold on tightly for the imminent crash next week. Even the SBS editors have jumped train after ep.17, concluding that this is just too much work for the little money they get.
Btw regardless of the big budget this show has the most low-rent celebratory scenes, from coronations to marriages. I don't expect grand scenes and sets like in Chinese sageuks where you can literally see the money burning (Empress of China anyone? lol) but seriously...where did all the ? go?
Drinking Solo: No more Noryangjin idiots. ? Even though the ending was low quality and rushed (geez, is it really soooo difficult to pace out your story correctly, kdrama writers?) and writer-nim pulled some unnecessary tropes I still cried and smiled like an idiot because I just came to love all these characters so much. I'll stay seated with my (non-alcoholic) drink, waiting for season 2 now. Geonbae! ?
Man Living in Our House: A lot people seem to like this. Maybe it's just not my type of humor but don't find it particularly funny. Never seen Su Ae in anything before and tbh I find she's overacting sometimes. Not sure if I'll continue.
1% of Anything: Kyaaahhh....ok, I officially love this show (and HSJ, hee). Our leads are so natural with their skinship and everything, love it. But you know what it means in dramaland when we get super cute episodes, right...angstville is most likely round the corner. ?
Jealousy Incarnate: I love ramyun. I love JJS. That's All. ???
Shopping King Louis: Ok show, you gave me a Mandarin AND a Cantonese song this week, I forgive you for the angst...thank your music director for that (and 1% coz got my cuteness dose over there this week). But can somebody buy Louis a f***ing helmet, please?!
On The Way To The Airport: I wanna move to Jeju Island.
This Week My Wife's Having An Affair: Oh this looks good and I really like the cast. But it always takes me ages to watch anything with LSK...why? I'm so hypnotized by his voice that I end up having to rewatch all his scenes coz I forget to read the subs. Lol. But dear subbers, the kid is a boy. ?
Fantastic: Loved the characters, loved the bromance and girlfriends, loved the message, this is a terminal illness drama done right, bravo JTBC. But I'm a bit salty we never got to see Dongsaeng-ssi kissing Noona-ssi. Wae? Sigh, the wait continues.

And of course my fav show to rant about gets its own post. (Nah, I just watch too many dramas ?)
The K2: There should be a disclaimer at the beginning, warning people that show might cause whiplash and overworking of muscles by too much head banging/shaking and eye rolling.
Anyway Team Madam Choi till the end! Also I don't think I've ever cared less for an OTP in a kdrama (hold on there was one...it's about a High School bully and a girl who was crying all the time - pretty sure y'all know which drama I'm talking about ?).
Call me morbid I want JH and Anna go down a la Romeo and Juliet at the end which of course ain't gonna happen but since we're all writing our own version by now. Hehe
And my version will only have scenes like the ones of JH and YJ or the confrontation between Evil Queen and Clown Husband (that.was.intense ?) and definitely NO scenes like face mask or ramyun PPL.

angieya, actually your posts, Lord Cobol's .. and the rest ..are more interesting to digest , than watching luminous Wookie got wasted by the K2. huh. .this K2 not much a high drama to scale , plot has no height and characters has no depth.
K2 is a mixed pot of Yongpal 2, Healer 2, Descendant of Son2.
This K2… is exactly “2” of every hit-dramas.
Healer2— you can find literally Seo Junghoo single handed taking down legions of hounds, and finding him peeping at his “youngshin” (Anna here) thru CCTV, shadowing her in night.
Yongpal2 —you can find a damsel in distress (tortured by evil guardian) breaking thru from her confinement but not breaking out from a Snow-white Angel image, and of cause the very high-tech glass confinement like unto the one that kept Sleeping Beauty in at Yongpal.
Descendant2– shamefully displaying ‘perfect male body specimens” in shower scene, when the fight scene can be done in gymn or just some locker-room. and the UN-like armies in Middle-East back-drop, seeing JCW in army’s clothes is so Captain Big Boss, and the forever recycled plot of dirty mercenaries telling arms to dirty middle east terrorists..…
stupid gas mask plot is already 'something'.
and watching Wookie in face mask, ... is like
okay, enough is enough!!! as well, give him WangSo's mask next week. or ask him to cameo in pretty Anna's church Nativity scene as a lamb. all hail to the power of Love.

The K2 is a comedy. I enjoyed every episode of it. Maybe because of background Music. The only interesting part of the show is People's Motivations and every attempt to reach an extreme decision.
I have given it 6.5/10 aka C grade.

Oh boy do I agree with you! There is zero tension, sexual or otherwise, between Je-ha and Anna. In fact saying zero tension might be over inflating it a bit. He looks at her like she's some adorable baby animal or his little sister who has just smeared herself with their mommy's lipstick. That blanket kiss was embarrassing to me, not cute. And is the relationship the kind that we need cute anyway? The life they live is the very antithesis of cuteness. He's a hardened mercenary who has served with some kind of Blackwater proxy in Iraq. And she's just boring!
Contrast this with the scene when Je-ha enters Cloud Nine the morning after the abortive attempt to kill Park Gwan-soo. He walks in and locks eyes with Yoo-jin. He's like a fly drawn to her spider but at the same time he's also the predator. His body movements are fluid and loose like a cat and she's now the mouse. They are both predator and prey for each other. It's like they are saying to the other, "I know you want me. I can see the drool on the corners of your lips." Really simple, no dialogue but super hot. And that's sexual tension, folks!

I agree, the Je-He & Anna thing is too sicky sweet for anyone over 15 yrs old to be drawn into. His character may have been that guy before Iraq, but, because of his experiences there he is not, really, that (kind of) guy anymore. The chemistry btwn him and "she who controls everything" is the real deal. Those two would barely survive their conflagration; they are so locked on, the click is quick and loud. I don't think it's all acting, but that's just my opinion.
Yes, the writing and plot progression are not in charge of this show...I don't know what is, it does seem de-railed. However, I'm going to watch it till the very end because there is some good acting going on mixed in w/the stupid stuff, plus, it's just not bad enough to stop watching him.

Mount K2 just collapsing and dont like that formidable after all.. against all his fine judgement, he keep listening to the Angel. and keep doing silly things either make him look so 'un-hunk' or against his good judgement and put him danger.
the face mask is so stupid to behold, funny, i dont think so.
the blanket covering, huh... something need to be done for the show first kiss, i understand.
the 'make-over' that Anna insist he joint her in doing at the salon, hahah. did he know not everything looks suspicious and he has to be high alert, have time to spare even for a 20 to 30 min hair-do and facial?
the medicine ... this is the best part. knowing 'mum' supposed to died of commiting suicide... how can he agaisnt his good judgement allow her to keep taking the medicine.. 3 times a day. can he not secretly bring that thing to be tested by a medical lab?

I was already suspecting that the kid is actually a boy when the teacher called SJH but when LSK was dressing him in the living room I was certain (I'm sure not even on Korean cable can you show a little girl on tv just wearing panties ?).
And then I remembered where I've seen him, he was Honey Lee's son in Come back, Ahjussi (and P&P but haven't seen that show)! He grew up sooo much.

Lol that was the lamest royal wedding I've ever seen in a high budget sageuk.

Well, the wedding had to be low key. It's supposed to be sad event. Since the main couple of the story is Wang So and Hae Soo, it wouldn't fit if they glorified the marriage to Yeon Hwa who's loathed by Wang So at this point. I'm personally glad they didn't make a huge thing out of it.
The coronation though.... was overly anticlimactic. It should have been much better.

Anyone watching the webdramas Hot & Sweet and 88th Street? Not sure what kind of story the first is trying to tell. It feels a bit meandering atm. But it's Minari! And playing a character who feels kind of the opposite of him, especially with all the bragginess about his looks which just makes me crack up every time lol. The latter makes me wish there was a house like that irl. I think a lot of people could probably benefit from living in such a place. The characters are an unique, kind of fun mix, but I still don't really connect with any of them, however only at ep 4 so far. Jonghun's acting is thankfully nowhere near as cringey as in Prince's Prince, so I hope it means he's improved. Both have really pleasant cinematography and the OST for Hot & Sweet is so cute :)
Not sure I'm gonna watch The Man Living ... or This Week My Wife... (such long titles for both!), will probably wait till they're finished to see if I want to bother. The first doesn't intrigue me storywise and the second has Song Ji Hyo whose dramas I've never been able to watch. For some reason she just always bugs me. BUT it has Lee Sun Gyun!! Ottoke?

So far he's been completely awesome. Besides, who knows how long before we get another drama from him again now that he is well sought after in Chungmuro.

You're right .. it's LSK's show,and you can see everything that's going on in his mind just from his expressions, and we feel already that how funny but sad his situation is right now. I loved how they showed him going after his son to tell him the phone screen lock password by tempting him about games lol. It's such a common daily scene that we pull off at times, and then to include it in the drama is a clever touch of details.

Ha ha epic pic to accompany post - always the best part of What we're Watching.
SPOILERS:
I had a lot of thoughts about OTWTTA. Like why are the photoframes that Do-woo uses (for pics of Annie and his mother) so....pedestrian?!
How many times can you leave that guy who came over to photograph your stuff to his own devices. Was that comedy or random character insertion.
All that DW flashlight was a bit disconcerting. As was that car stalking. SA looked like she wanted to be left alone...then again maybe she was again in a comfortable status quoish shell that she needs to emerge from.
Hye-won's change was inexplicable - though the scene with Annie was nicely played. I feel there has been some chopping, is there an episode reduction?
SSR is the weakest link, first I thought the part badly written but now I think the interpretation is a little off. On the other hand I like Choi Yeo-jin, the women really carry this show.
On the whole despite some improbable elements forcing plot progress and it being a bit of a 30s-40s middle class wish fulfillment (end shot of Ep 12 encapsulates this perfectly) I enjoy this drama and will be sad to see it end. For a drama about the fallout of an illicit love, it has the refreshing feel of gentle rain.

ROFL, GF. Always doing the heavy-lifting. Your list in comparison to the other two...
I'm glad I have you to make me feel like I'm justified in only tuning in to Jealousy Incarnate this week, since it's clearly one of the shows you're enjoying the most right now. The only other show I kept up with is Drinking Solo. I love SKL, but it will be much easier to watch this week's separation episodes next week. Hopefully I'll get caught up on Moon Lovers for the finale. I'm just not sure I have time.
I had planned on marathoning FantastiC after it finished airing, but different opinions are making me go back and forth on whether I want to pick it back up or not. When I stopped on ep 4, it wasn't because I meant to drop the series...I just never did end up clicking on ep 5. Even though there was so much good about it, it lacked that hook.
I'm finally tuning into 1% now that Drinking Solo is over and I can already tell I'm going to love it. I'm really glad I waited to check it out until after DS because I'm already more invested in the romance here. DS had sooo many wonderful things about it, but I didn't feel like the connection between the leads was developed enough by the last week & then the noble idiocy kinda made me not care, tbh. I cared far more about the side-character pairings/friendships.

October 29, 2016 at 8:49 AM
so for other show
Go Ho Starry night : I like it, it's cute, light, Kim young Kwang and yuri make a good couple , and if you are looking for the opening OST, it called ROMANTISCO - DREAMER (FEAT. EDEN - KOR)
1% of Anything : love it, seeing a couple changing for the goodness and started believing each other is a treat, Jae In start realising a lot of things and he applied it, Dada tries too hard to fool her heart but I like that she unknowingly is the boss in the relationship, if this called normal push and pull, Dada really did it well,
The drunk talk is my favourite, she is drunk but I like that she is not crazy drunk, she just being honest and the way Jae In look at her is so precious,
but the show now enter the parent territory when we finally saw their parents, I like what it did and I hope they never have separation,
Mom's diary - Ugly Duckling : probably my favorite reality show right now and it somehow reminds me a lot of Drama' depiction of Mums, like the over praise for their son, I also really like Ji Wong and his mum's story, it wasn't really the highlight but lot of things Ji Wong did makes sense and his mum are really understandable, she also laugh a lot and Gun Mo's mum is really something (IDK how to describe her) but she is entertaining for me,
Moonlight - Happy Together : Moonlight cast like God- byeong yeon, Jin-young, the queen, master jung and eunuch jjang will appear in Happy Together Next Week, So don't miss it, ^^

Well, let me just warn you, if you do find out ahead of time, it kind of ruins a certain aspect of the show. They don't use the ghost (real or not) in the same heavy-handed, spooky way that most shows do. Often, the girls just sit around and talk about it matter-of-factly.
The whole point of it's presence is that it causes several of the girls to think it is somehow connected with incidents in their past. And so the focus is more on how the knowledge of its presence forces them to face their own personal demons and let them go.

I think I'm feeling the beginning stages of a new drama obsession with The Man Living in Our House. BUT I'd really like to know if anyone on here has read the webtoon, and if they know if the Nan Gil and Na-ri's relationship turns romantic in it, or if the show did that on its own.

I watched it on DramaFever and it was 20 short episodes (15-20 minutes each I think). But it is airing in 4 longer episodes. Sounds like that version is available on some other websites or maybe Viki, but I cannot confirm that.
As to is it worth it, I enjoyed it. It is a light and breezy rom-com with a couple of laugh out loud moments. It made me look forward to watching Kim Young Kwang in his new drama. And it was nice to see Lee Ji Hoon again after Mirror of the Witch. I want to see him in a longer drama - he's terrific!

I am currently watching coffee prince (still have 4 more episodes to go), I started watching it because it was mentioned a lot during the first few weeks of moonlight, so I was really curious and checked it out when it ended and what an entertaining show! I was hooked so much that I have watched 13 episodes in 4 days and I have been on a high these 4 days, I just had no time to think about my problems. I especially loved the part where choi han kyul's conflict about liking go eun chan as a man (him spooning her in the beach scene with tears in his eyes, I had goosebumps), gong yoo has nailed it. Yoon eun hye is so convincing as a man, I sometimes forgot she is a woman. My heart ached whenever they fought, this drama has made me feel so much. Thank you for recapping that show, javabeans. I read them after watching each episode and I am kind of sad I didn't get to watch it as it aired, it would have been super fun and l would have replayed so many scenes again and again but here I am so curious to see what happens next, I think I don't replay them as much times as it deserves :P . Now I can't wait for goblin to premiere especially since the k2 has been disappointing, but yet to watch yesterday's episode. I have put it off all day, but the recap will be up tomorrow and I don't want to miss the fun in the comments section, lol, so off to watch now.
Also finished fantastic and I just don't have any complaints about that show. Also I always looked forward to what you have to say about jealousy incarnate every week, girlfriday. Because you put it so well in just a few sentences. I enjoy that show so much no matter what happens plotwise.

Still a better drama than most of other hyped nonsense around.
FantastiC - I also kind of fell out of love because of Drinking Solo. I kept on watching FantastiC as i was curious what gonna happen in episode 16. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the show.
Woman With a Suitcase - A nonsense show. Alright pass time. Bad editing,writing,direction. No concrete timeline. Nothing much to say else.
The K2 - Quite enjoyable as you watch it. Don't try to rationalize anything. You won't find much logical in this show. Characters motivations and agendas aka desires are the only thing kept me hooked to the show till now.
Sweet Stranger and Me aka The Man living in Our House - 1st week was quite fun. I liked Na Ri and Step Dad Interactions the most. Rest of the characters are there for..... for what?
Thumping Spike 2 - 1st 2 episodes are weak. I'm not much into this one.
1% of Anything aka Something about 1% - I will start it from November 01.
Watchlist Nov. ON the way to the airport, Pinnochio.
Weekly - The unusual Family and That Sun in the Sky.

Also hope subs of The Day After We Broke Up will be up soon.
The other OST of Go Ho's Starry Night. Both OST are super good.

To GF's comment on Moon Lovers "Because everyone who sits on that throne goes evil!" Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I was confused by So turning all bad and mean. It made me want Soo to get back with Wook. I really, really have no idea why I continue to watch this show...
Wednesdays and Thursdays are my favorite nights of the week now. Between JI and SKL, I get so many feels.
Jealousy Incarnate:
I felt bad for Jung Won this week. It is frustrating that he doesn't consider Na-Ri's feelings into his decision to continue pursuing her, but I understand it. Feelings make it difficult to act rationally sometimes, even for grown-ups. Combine his need for love from someone close, his love for Na Ri and his competition with Hwa Shin and it is not unexpected that he continues to pursue for a little while. I fully expect he'll come around soon. But 4 episodes left? I'm a little worried about what is next.
Shopping King Louis:
More amnesia? Real or fake? I don't think there hasn't been a minute when I've been less than 100% engaged in every single moment of this show. In any other show, I would have been frustrated by a couple of things, but I just can't seem to hate a minute of this show. What is it about it?
Other shows I'm watching:
K2 - it is no Healer. But Ji Chang Wook, so I'm still here.
Man in Our House - I enjoyed the first 2 episodes and am intrigued enough by the humor and mystery to keep watching.
My Wife's Having an Affair - Oh that deep, silky smooth voice! I just want to close my eyes and listen...subtitles be damned... ;)

I think I am in love...or at least it's a feeling that's very close to being in love.
1% of Anything makes me giggly and smiling for no reason throughout the week. I am also totally distracted from watching any other dramas. I wanted to pick up K2, Moon Lovers and Fantastic again but I just can't. I keep replaying eps 7 then ep 8. When I take a break from the drama, I go and search for english subbed BTS videos, press conference or interviews. If I finished those and sadly there aren't much translated ones, I'll watch them raw without understanding a single thing.
And oh, did I mention I had to watch Ha Suk Jin's past dramas as well? I appreciate the fact that this guy hasn't taken a break since he debut in 2005. He did at least one drama a year and sometimes two like in this year.
He does quite a bit of variety as well and I'm currently watching Problemetic Man. In real life, he's been called a serious person. I've never known going by his drama characters.
If I didn't have 1% of Anything, I'd be now mourning the end of Drinking Solo I still love the show to bits despite being unhappy about the ending. To those who hesitate to pick it up after reading about the ending, you are missing out all the fun and an absolutely adorable drama. The BTS of the final scene was too cute! Ha Seok Jin hugging Park Ha Sun and stroking her hair :D I think he called her No Geu Rae. PHS was so emotional that she cried, I won't blame her. Park Ha Na was the most enjoyable character amongs the others. She must have been sad to let go of Ha Na. Don't we all?

Why why why (One for Gunman, another for Scholar and now for Moon)? Can we get an amazing drama for Lee Jun-ki next time? One with great music. I'd ask for more, but I'm desperate enough to accept bargaining.
I've only been able to keep up with Drinking Solo, mainly because it's such a light and comedic watch. I'm gonna have to find time to continue watching Moonlight without feeling guilty for not finishing work. Which, I should be doing right now, but Dramabeans had to post this and I HAD to read this.

He picked those dramas so it's his choice. I'm actually tired of seeing him in fusion sageuks (3 in a row). I hope he'd pick a different genre next.

I want to see him in something like Giant, with solid writing, directing and co-stars. Or thriller drama like Signal.
Maybe he should go to cable after this.

Yes, something solid and memorable like Giant.

He said in an interview that he wants fusion sageuk because it is where he can maximize his potential, especially in the action scenes. I hope he can get a better drama next time. He also said that he will be moving to a non-sageuk drama on his next project.

He has proven that he can do fusion. If he is going to stick with fusion then maybe he should reverse roles and play a villain for a change. I think he is going to be great at it.
Give me evil Jun-ki.

Unpopular opinion. I know the general consensus is that LJK is a good actor but I picked up Joseon Gunman on another site's recommendation and was...umm underwhelmed. Ditto Virgin Snow (which I actually watched for Aoi). Since then never seen any of his dramas.
He was good in The King and the Clown but that movie had so much going for it that its not merely a LJK vehicle.
He does have a huge and loyal fan following which is kind of impressive.

I just like him because he was my first k-actor. And probably it is the same for a lot of people. And I like to see his dramas succeed because I have a fondness for him.

Blo yes I get that, that is why I said it is impressive that he has such a huge and committed fandom.
Kiara agree about King and the Clown. From there I would have expected him to do more films but he seems to be firmly in drama land. And that too in middling dramas.
