I'm also going to miss Weightlifting Fairy so much! I love how it was on every person's list! It was such a feel-good drama to watch and I think it ended so perfectly. We even got a kiss in the final scene! I've said it in another thread, but I'm so glad that the drama showed that receiving therapy isn't a bad thing at all either, but rather, they showed how helpful and normal it is. They definitely need to be the two leads in a drama together sometime in the future!

WFKBJ is love! I still won't call the show fluff because even though it was cute there was a lot more to it which was realistic and hard hitting. I specially loved their last message to all youth. Completely Swag! I hope we get to see more such shows and more college based shows please, high school is too mainstream now.

Tineybeanie you just READ my mind from top to bottom on the hwarang review!
Park is making me forward to the strong woman drama. Whenever he comes on i light up

Na PD is doing a show about newlyweds??? ?
What where when. And how did I miss that news!

As for dramas - I was so down after WF ended. It was such a constant safe place for me all these last 8 weeks! I didn't know but I really needed a drama like this and dramaland gave me that. Thank you, show! *sniffs*

Goblin - It was a heartbreaking episode at all fronts from the reaper realizing he has been loved all along to Run Take sobbing her heart out at end! Amazing acting and directing. I know many find the slow meandering pace to be annoying at times but it works for me. Every time I check the timebar on how much time left and get sad if it's close to end. And the music, after so long I feel a soundtrack not just matching upto the drama but elevating it while not being distracting. Can't believe its ending next week! :(

Hwarang - I really need to start this! Am approaching a drama void and that's scary !

I finally found the time to marathon Age of Youth (curently at Ep 8) and I just wanna join in on all the chorus of love for it!

I laugh, I cry and I squeeee so much (Jong Yeol is adorable!) it really is a gem. Easily in my top 5. It's one of those great ones where you keep re-watching memorable scenes and where the feels and the tears don't stop even when the episode is long over.. Ahh why are there only 12 eps?!

Bok Joo is going to be dearly missed. I loved that drama so much. Sniff.

JAVABEANS? Here.

Thank god someone else other than me also find that OST on Hwarang similar to that on My Girl!

I mourn the ending of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo???! What will I do with my Wednesdays and Thursdays now? It was such a wonderful drama, hitting all the right spots with the minimal kdrama tropes...(sigh) really going to miss the camaderie of the friends and the cutest of all couple, Bok Joo and Joon Hyung. A true gem in ten dramaland.

Weightlifting: I know this is a sweet simple coming of age story, but I realized as I watched how rarely we get to the end of a drama with the story still functioning on full cylinders. It was a well though out, well paced drama and it took me a while to realize that ...basically what I'm not saying that well is the writer made this look easy but so many dramas crash and burn or make me suspend reality about human nature, common sense etc. Good job to writer/actors/crew.

Goblin: I stalled at 9 but hear that the story FINALLY is revving up so need to jump back in.

Father,I'll Take Care of You: Started for the main couple romance, sticking around for the swapped cousins....that Romeo and Juliet scene. Ha! Also, surprisingly liking creepy guy romance as well now that the actress has calmed down.

General and I: I actually forgive the drama condensing the first part of the story because this is actually hard to adapt with the battles and military strategy. However, the "epic" love that we are supposed to get is a bit hard with AngelaBaby so I think they should have used over voice so the viewers can hear what she can't emote (and she is playing a very enigmatic character to be fair). I'm usually not a big fan of that device but it was needed here. Oh, and the way the production is filming this is horrible. It is highly romantic but dealing with war so I think they should have gone grittier and some of the scenes are now so cheesy and the slow motion....don't get me started. I don't judge on some of the production issues like they are not riding real horses quite often, and it's obvious because that's about $$, but the PD makes Moon Lovers PD seem like Spielberg. Ugg the slow motion All The Time as in cue the romance....cue the Big Dramatic Scene. But Wallace Chung plus me being a sucker for romance and there is actually a foundation for the story now so I'm in.

Boss & Me: Don't know what it is about Chinese dramas suddenly, but just in the mood for a lighthearted rom/com so heard good things about this one. Ended up disappointed in Love 020 about mid-way through so hope this holds up.

Romantic Dr: I dropped this at episode 4 but have put it back on my pending list maybe for a summer watch. I don't care about the ratings but to have so many happy with the story...well all the yelling turned me off. I think maybe too many doctor dramas last year. I'll give it another go when I have a dry spell.

I burst into guffaws @ the comment about Hwarang eyebrows.

I can just imagine the Hwarang boys (and Ah-Ro) starting their mornings with a bit of good ol' brow pencil to make them look nice. Or a little bit of Anastia Dipbrow brow pomade, because that's what will really survive through swordfights, blood, random vomiting and funny dance practices. (I personally attest to this stuff surviving 45 degree Celsius weather :P)

Just watched part of the first ep of "Naked Fireman". Surprised that I haven't seen more advance excitement about it here. From some of the comments on other shows/actors (especially shower scenes) I would have expected a title like that to attract Beanies like bees to flowers. Maybe they should have titled it "Naked Fireman in the Shower" :)

Watching this week:
Goblin: Everything happened in this one eps. And just like usual, I love those goryeo bits.

Hwarang: Looking back at it, this drama only consisted of good enough parts. Good enough writing, directing, acting, and editing. But somehow, put together, it's magically great and addictive.

Solomon's Perjury: The more they tried to find out the truth, the more secret and lie they unearthed. I'm afraid thinking about what actually awaiting them in the core of this tragedy.

Potato Star: This sitcom is the kind that attached itself to you ever so slowly. I can't believe there are only 10 eps left. Hopefully there is happy ending left in store for everyone.

I just can't bring myself to continue Meremaid... when I ocasionally come back and watch a bit, it is surprisingly mainly for Lee Min Ho and his comedy (his sauna water terror was priceless) and that girl from Five Kids...

... still watching Golden Pouch...

... and started a Chinese drama "General and I"...

... missing Fairy couple...

I should get caught up on Kim Bok-ju. I was surprised when my cousin asked to borrow my Viki account so that he could get caught up on the episodes. He even watched the interview videos. Well, I never saw him to be the type to be into fluffy kdramas. Especially for someone who doesn't watch much television. Anyways, loved LSK portrayal of her.

Quite a few dramas coming up in the coming weeks. I'm excited!

I'm with @tinetbeanie about the newlywed show!

#bokjoonhyung for life!

@tineybeanie DONt worry about LTTailor shop, you will be more than satisfied soon enough ;)

Hwarang: So I wasn’t a huge fan of Park Hyung-sik (especially after High Society)

This is so weird to me because I thought everyone preferred Park Hyung Sik and Lim Ji Yeon's storyline over Sung Joon and Uee's in High Society.

I, too, am anticipating Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. Park Bo Young and Park Hyung Sik make a lovely couple. Better luck next time, Ji Soo.

I am so invested in Ban Ryu and Soo Yeon's relationship. Look at his smile! She is the only joy in his cold, hard life.

So because of lack of time these days I've been reading recaps and watched just the parts I thought I HAD to watch, and how much I've watched of each drama really helps me figure out where they stand for me.

Hwarang - As girlfriday, lately I've started watching this before RDTK, and I actually watched the entire episodes. That might be because recaps are not up yet when I feel like watching it or because well, it's an easy watch. Sageuks don't really make it for me but this one is more of a youth drama in sageuk clothing, and it has Hyungsik as well so it has me hooked (also can't wait for his drama with PBY!!). The moment Banryu's ass was grabbed he became 1000 times more likeable. I have to study about Silla for my exams and imagining our 6 guys there makes it much more entertaining.

Romantic Doctor - I read the recaps until one point that convinced me to play the episode as well: Dongjoo's angry outburst. I knew I had to see that. I love how he said that now that he's a doctor he understands, but that makes him even angrier. Love love love Also now the nurse in Jealousy Incarnate has a competitor for best dramaland nurse in Nurse Oh. She's amazing.

LOTBS - I mostly watch just Lee Minho's parts which is shocking, as I've never been a huge fan of his. But somehow he's the one carrying this show for me. I'm not very invested in it but since I started it..might as well finish it.

Weightlifting Fairy - I actually haven't watched the last two episodes. It's not that I don't like it. On the contrary, I can't accept that it's ending! I don't want to part with it yet so i'm holding onto them

Goblin - I watched the first two episodes of Goblin when they aired and I really really want to continue it because my classmates love it, and I love Lee Dongwook and it looks like a good story but.. for me Goblin is one of those sweet guys everyone is encouraging you to date but you just don't feel it.

We got married as a job - I'm studying Japanese and I thought watching some jdramas would be good, so I started this one and I'm in love. This drama might just have my favourite female lead of all time. And the male lead is so relatable and awkward I just want to give him a big hug (but I guess that won't work unless it's Wednesday). Anyone know any similar jdramas?

In order of enjoyment this week:

Nirvana in Fire: I finished it, and am spoiled for life! Admittedly, it took me a while to get into it, but after episode 21 (that birthday party) I couldn’t stop watching. I decided to trust the writer and let the story take me wherever it wanted. Each episode managed to go from ‘wow, good guys triumph!’ to ‘oh noes, the bad guys are too smart!’, to ‘good guys managed to turn that around!’, and thus it goes on. I now see why this drama was such a phenomenal success. The casting. The costumes. The cinematography. The acting. It has everything. Also, the most lovable water buffalo ever.

Hwarang: I am going to love the friendships among the boys. I already like Ah Ro. In a story that is mainly about boys and men, the only female characters are: the Queen, and the two girls. It’s nice to see they are strong characters with agency in spite of their limited roles in society.

Goblin: This show has been like a long, beautiful, walk on a misty morning… holding a bag of spring onions. Until episode 13. Wow, everything came crashing down! I don’t know what will happen with three more episodes to go, so I guess I’ll stick around to watch it.

Legend of the Blue Sea: It’s an enjoyable watch, even though from the start I wasn’t too keen on Heo Joon-Jae’s family drama. I sense that Angst has arrived in full force. Please, I hope the bad guys don’t intend to display the mermaid for money. I cried every time I watched Free Willy as a kid. Big non-pearl tears.

The first time the Hwarang OST played at the end of the second episode I immediately had My Girl feels, like a deja vu feeling. Thank you Javabeans for mentioning it and showing I am not alone.

Wow. all my favorite DB Staff watch WFKBJ! Yeah!! High Five!!! Now... which new drama can replace my lonely heart as WFKBJ has ended... I am watching Hwarang, but javabeans is right, Go Ara's men-looking eyebrows are getting to my nerves... even if her hazel eyeballs resemble Kim Bok-ju's... Goblin is not until another week... I am repeating Let's Fight Ghost... hahaha... :-)

I loved Park Hyungsik acting ever since 'What Happens to My Family?'. Glad he's doing well with Hwarang

I knew I wasn't the only one with flashbacks of My Girl feels every time that song comes on Hwarang!!! This is how you know you're an old school drama addict..

Legend of the Blue Sea: The puzzle pieces are falling together and Evil Stepmom had a totally new meaning given how much KJH/KSH has done!!! I hope Chung and JJ will get their happy ending and change the course of this past fate. I have faith in this writer. I also want to see Mom living together with them and maybe Yoona and Fashionista can all be neighbours or hang out together. ND will reveal his true colours soon and I'm curious if/how he will John forces with CH though I actually want CH to be redeemed.

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo: The sweetest main couple ever! ❤️ Definitely gonna miss this show, which made every week feel so good for me when watching these friends navigate life and falling in love. JH and BJ will be great characters to remember for a long, long time. Can I keep JH in my pocket? XD Swag! *complete with head and arm move*

Hwarang: Glad to see the bromance and romance developing. BR and SY's first official encounter was hilarious. I want SW to be the first one to figure out JD is king. I hope the conflict between SW and AR won't get dragged out too much. I want to know more about AJG and the queen regent's back story.

Iljimae: Watching this on the side whenever I have some time cuz I wanna see more LJG and catch up on some past works. =) Up to ep. 6 now. KYJ and YJG were so young and cute back then. ^^

Miss In Kiss T-drama: LOL at how the guy still pretends that have zero interest in the girl but obviously cares very much about her. From acting out of jealousy to teasing her to taking a falling table for her, I'm just waiting for that moment when he finally admits that he likes her.

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Ju has officially made it to my top dramas of all time! It never falter towards the end like the rest of my top fave dramas did. It was perfect to me from beginning to finish. Funny thing is, I wasn't even gonna watch it because of the actors being cast as leads! BUT! The model-actors have proven me wrong by acting so awesomely that I am now officially a fan of their acting and will look forward to their next roles!!!

tineybeanie. I was thinking the same thing about Legend and what keeps coming to mind is that LMH needs to learn hand acting. As-in learn how to be more handsey with his female co-stars. When having physical contact his hands are so limp it makes it seem like he doesn't really want to be touching her. The only exceptions in Legend we're the most convincing scenes. Like in the one recent scene where they were in bed snuggling. He grabbed her tight and that simple action made his attraction convincing. The other was when they were chasing each other around the house. He let his guard down and wasn't backing off contact.

Maybe someone needs to volunteer to spend time with him and teach him this valuable acting skill? Yunno, someone willing to nobly sacrifice her time for the greater good of drama watchers everywhere. ?

RTDK - Doldam team will be missed, a lot. The only show I managed to watch wholse episodes without skipping any.

Although I dont love WFKBJ as most beanies here, i am glad to see at least this drama received so much loves internationally. This drama is fun to watch, and it is just like another SKL for me - fun to watch but forgettable.

I cannot wait for new shows to start as my plate has been quite empty lately. Soo looking forward which drama will fill my plate.

1) Introverted Boss
2) Voice
3) Missing 9

The following 2 weeks : Defendant and Tomorrow With You.

Hope this shows won't disappoint.

Wlfkbj is such a perfect show for me from start to finish. I like my drama without makjang,no misunderstanding between the leads,no noble idiocy,no tsundere chaebols with trust issues instead i have normal people like i see everyday. Man,i usually drop dramas no matter how i love the actors when i started to feel like i'm wasting my time and i have the attention span of a child,easily bored.but this show,no matter how simple the story is,just kept me hook from start to finish.
I feel like i have this big hole in my heart. I'm going to miss this drama so much. Thank you,show.

I heard that the story of goblin is picking up. I might watch it again.

HWARANG: anticipated it for the bromance and loving it now still for the bromance + BR&SY + PHS.

Side Note: I was kinda surprised, PHS captured my attention on High Society. I finished off that drama for his storyline. I hope he'll show a different kind chaebol in his new drama with PBY.

WFKBJ: girlfriday summed it up for me, it was an ode to youth. I started watching it with any expectation and ended up loving it.

FITCOY: paused after Ep15, we'll re watch again by Ep 30. Marathon watching, my key to finishing weekend dramas. 50 eps feels so unsurmountable.
