Seven Day Queen: My main is quite starting to torture me with a little sugar. I’ve been trying so hard to understand the king because I pity him but that is not the case anymore because he’s slowly losing all the sanity he has. So happy that the Prince and CK finally consummated their marriage, that’s what I’m referring ‘a little sugar’ in this very intense couple of episodes. And I wouldn’t dare not to mention, Seo Noh! ☹ My heart is still aching thinking what happened to him. I so like his character. WHY??! I can feel that it’ll be much heavier next week since we are running close to the finale of this wonderful show. Am I ready to say goodbye? Big NOOO!

The King Loves: I love the start of this show! And of course I get to see Im Si Wan again so what more can I say? HAHA! I like the bromance but I know it’s not meant to last that long. The only thing that I’m not that convinced with; in this show is the story of San being hidden to protect her which I actually explained in the latest recap of the show but other than that, nothing to complain so far.

The Best Hit: I can’t believe that we’ll soon need to say goodbye to Da Bong and these very entertaining cast and show. Please don’t go! I just hope they can end it smoothly and wishing for happiness for all the characters since they deserve it but I think it’s too much to ask for everyone to be happy. Will HJ stay or go back to the past? My biggest question right now.

My Sassy Girl: Not the perfect show but it was a fun ride. Thank you! There’s too much to polish in the story that never happened but there are also great scenes to remember. The chemistry between the leads is much better as friends for me, Prince Dalhan and Princess Hye Myung has even more chemistry than them just to say. I will miss master doggy and our very cute Prince the most!!!

Bride of the Water God: I’m loving this show! I like how they are showing the powers of our gods and how the story is going so far. I’m still not in the boat of the leads but I think I’m getting there, there are just moments when I don’t feel SSK’s acting but I know she’s trying her best and it is still bearable so bring it on! Too many questions has been opened this week, is Hoo Ye also a god? Where are the stones? Where is the other god(forgot his name lol)? What happened to So Ah’s dad? Etc etc. I will patiently wait for the answers.

Reunited Worlds: First, I’m so happy is YJG is already back!!! Can’t get enough of him! And this show, what a start! I got hooked as early as the first episode. Too much feels while watching it and the scene when he died I literally cried especially when Jung Won ran to change his portrait. I know I will love this show right from the very start but I didn’t know it’ll be this hard. I thought my Wed and Thurs is already complete with Seven Day Queen but with this show, it’s a blast!

School 2017: I watched the first episode but it doesn’t give me a strong punch. It’s good but that’s the problem, it’s...

secret forest is love ♥♥♥

started reunited worlds and was pleasantly surprised, i cried buckets for the first two episodes (can't believe i'm attached already), i'm really looking forward to finding out how young-in and young-join are living since we still haven't been introduced to them in 2017 yet. i've got to agree with Heads that the reunions haven't actually had that much of an oomph especially between sung hae-cheol and hae-sung but i think once he realises that his brother is really back we can get the tissues ready.

not sure if i want to start man who dies to live... should i just skip to the part when choi min-soo comes back to korea?

I caught up on Seven Day Queen and dragged my mother into watching it with me. I had a lot of explaining to do, and things always happen pretty fast! Whew!

Also finished My Sassy Girl with my mom. We both had a 'that's it?' look at the end. Bland.

I am waiting to finish all 4 episodes of The Best Hit tonight. Part of me doesn't want to because and the other part is desperately hoping it'll be good!!

Finally, I watched the first two episodes of School 2017: Bad boy Mori on motorcycle in the first five minutes. Check. Heroine who is bottom of the class again. Check. Love the former, disappointed with the latter (I know it's because she's an artist, but couldn't she be y'know, a few spots above and care just a little bit for her grades?) The whole school seems like a prison, which doesn't feel very realistic to me, but I'm going to give this show a good try. For Mori.

Currently watching:
Forest of Secrets - the mystery!
Duel - the clones duh
School - the nostalgia (or probs the badboy)
The King Loves - the surprising chemistry
Reunited worlds - the bangs ?
Goghs starry night - the fluff
(Thanks @sia for the recommend)

Kinda behind on seven day queen and the best hit.

I'm watching Father is Strange and Forest of Secrets, can't wait for the next week and the next episode of both the shows.

Am unsure about Bride of the Water God, the female lead acts weird, the show feels disjointed and the God on earth pitiable. The comic elements are fun and what still keeps me watching, but it seems to lack that zing which pulls you and tempts you to watch the next epi as soon as it is released.

Just got caught up with all the epis of The Best Hit and I'm kinda annoyed with Hyun Jae and the female character. Like if he is supposed to go back then why did he make some stupid decisions in 2017?!! The latest epi is really sad on many fronts.

The still at the top of the post.. which drama is it from?

Only watching The Best Hit and Forest Of Secrets at the moment.

Wanted to watch Man Who dies To Live, but thanks to internet complaints MBC took the drama off from VIU and every other subbing site.
And I get it. MBC finally has a hit show that did not need a big budget, of course they're not going to re-edit it to please international fans.
However I hope that this Head-in-the-sand thing does not go on for other occasions :)

I only watched Bride of Habaek episode 5 this week. I like Krystal and Gong Myung's characters more than Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung's. The pacing is a little slow but it's bearable. Overall, it's not bad but also not great.

I will probably begin Reunited Worlds soon. Excited to see Yeo Jin Gu again!

Not ready to say goodbye to The Best Hit ? Da bong needs to back to new project asap ??

School 2017 - More Mori is the better for me.

The King Loves - I don't want to fangirl boys who are around 10 years younger but that's what happened lol. Nam Da Reum & Yoon Chan Young - is it possible to have a drama with these two as the main leads, not as the younger parts. I prefer sageuk but modern drama still OK. Well maybe few more years ?

I think Forest of Secrets took over my soul because I can't seem to really love other drama atm and this might be a good thing for me.

Started Bad Thief Good Thief but still stuck at epi 7. I'm going to really take time with this drama because I know this writer's style.

Re-watching King's Daughter but I'll also take time with it since I already watched it before. It is just to satisfy my sageuk craving.

Forest of Secret is ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Best drama of the last decade so far!
MWDTL ??????

Forest of Secrets: Still the best thing on television.

Forest of Secrets: Sounding like a broken record here, but I’m still loving this show, and I’m in denial that it’ll be ending soon. Dong-jae cracks me up with his calculating face, and I still ♥ everything about Shi-mok and Yeo-jin. This is definitely my favorite drama of 2017, and I’d even go so far as to call it the best drama of 2017 (even though the year isn’t over yet!).

I concur!!!!! Everything about this drama just screams awesome and I find myself mind blown and excited at every episode ending, which is weird because this is my least favorite genre. Jo Seung-woo and Bae Doo-na are such a winning combo, I can't imagine this show without them. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Woman of Dignity : I'm ready to see Ah Jin kicking Jae Suck out !

The King Loves : Goryeo is my favorite period for sageuk because I love the settings and the clothes more than the Joseon's ones. I was not affected by the main cast's beauty in their previous works but I have to admit the pretty is strong in this one ! I'm getting strong 6FD vibe with the two child actors ! They will both have a great career like Yeo Jin Goo

Reunited Worlds : My favorite of this week's premiere.

Duel : Binged watched until ep 6. Yang Se Jong's performance is superb.

School 2017 : I had no expectation so I enjoyed quite a lot this premiere. I'm hoping for a focus on characters' friendships rather than on a love triangle.

The Best Hit : Binge watched until ep 10. I like the humor and the CEO YJ is such a goofy villain. I love him and his chair.

Bride of the Water God : I'm not sure why I'm still watching this show but I enjoy the humor.

The Best Hit: I wish for happy ending and no matter how I think it would be difficult for Kim Da Bong fate but never say never..

Father Is Strange: The love occurs between Joong Hee and Mi Young is sweet but sad. A simply beautiful love story.

Forest of Secret: So, the killer is actually the Hwang Shi-Mok team member ? Does it confirm? I mean... maybe it's just a trait? lol

Duel: Since Mi Rae is Dr Lee's daughter I guess I have to end my wishful-thinking for her and Sung-Joon to have another love lines. But probably I can have bromance between Sung-Joon & Sung-Hoon? Or... Maybe not! Sung-Hoon is already broken *sigh*

" Just throwing this out there—what if you had your actual hero be Ghost Mask, rather than having him be a black hole where meaningful plot movement goes to die?"

Yes! A thousand times yes! Just when I thought I settled into the zany over the top humor, the show dive into another direction. I want Joo Won's cute face and not mopey ones. Even the Ghost Mask turn out anti-climatic, was it just to parody Gaksital? Gyun Woo looked zoned out and so did I.

BOTWG I like Gong Myung in Drinking Solo but he's pretty acting the same here. I heard he was good in Individualist Ji Young so I was expecting some growth, hmmm. The most enjoyable is still our water god Haebak with hapless So Ah and Haebak with NSR. I find myself just watching their scenes and tuning out the rest.

SDQ Seo NooOOOOOOOO!!!!

Reunited Worlds I don't cry. Very seldom do. But I did at Hae Sung's funeral. I love Yeo Jin Goo and Chae Yeon, I wouldn't mind watching them in the entire length. The drama is beautifully shot and lovely in many ways except for one let down. I cannot understand the scene where Hae Sung reunited with Jung Won. I was like WTH??!!! It's one of those rare moments where I wish YJG would stop smiling.

School 2017 Kim Jung Hyun is my latest discovery. Why so cute? I am enjoying the story too and the leads.

Man Who Dies To Live I am not sure if I will watch episode 2. However, it must have gotten better since JB and HeadsNo2 aren't writing it off.

Forest of Secrets I'll join @chickachunga in calling it the best drama of 2017 even though the year isn't over! D-1 to subbed episode!

I was looking forward to this post to know what everyone thought of the new shows. I caught the first episodes of reunited worlds and the king loves. They both were so beautifully shot. I feel like kdramas have notched up their production values. All the dramas I am watching seems to be stylish and sleek/beautiful in their own settings. The king loves in particular felt so rich and colourful. I haven't watched a drama in goryeo setting yet. Also, I suprisingly liked yoona in the first episode though I tuned in for Im Shi wan. So, I think I am going to stick with this one.

The two dramas that I am watching with full focus are seven day queen and forest of secrets. I love them both despite the fact one hurts my heart and the other kills my brain and can't believe both are going to end soon. I am also watching bride of the water god, even though it's not bad, i still don't care about any of the characters that much except maybe for nam soo ri who is the best sidekick ever.

I think Man Who Dies to Live is a very stupid show. It offended Arabians and muslims. Seriously I hate it when people make fun with a certain culture or religion which is so disrespectful. In one scene they even showed viewers two Middle East ladies in bikini wearing hijab like SERIOUSLY?? Writer-nim are you kidding me? Hijab is an identity of women in Islam and it's an order of our God. I'm a muslim and feel so sad about this. Many people in the world don't know the true Islam and this drama making the situation worse by depicting Arab (which muslim is majority there) and muslim/Islam very wrongly. It's good to be creative and productive but the writer shouldn't make other culture or religion or nationality as joke. It's 2017 and most people are very aware of human rights.

Sigh~ I ended up ranting here. I'm sorry.

Currently watching Bride of the Water God, School 2017, Reunited Worlds and Suspicious Partner.

I'm really enjoying the deadpan humour in BOTWG and I hope the show doesn't lose this in the later episodes. Ha-baek trying to be authoritative is the funniest thing ever because So ah doesn't really listen to him and he also knows that. Humour aside, I like how these two are constantly there for each other, and that Ha-baek has grown so much in the past episodes…enough to really listen to So ah and promise to protect her (that copy/paste promise was the cutest thing ever!).

There is a lot of things in School 2017 that isn't very believable. One of the things is the lining up at the cafeteria according to grade/rank. Is this really true? I can't believe that they discriminate students according to their grades! Aside from that, I'm really enjoying all the characters and the everyday struggles they face. As for the mystery element, I'm getting a feeling that it's a female student. The two leads are most probably red herrings. I'm liking them equally, but I guess bad boy Mori has almost won me over!

Reunited Worlds is sooo beautiful and heartbreaking. Yeo Jin-gu is absolutely shining in this role and I can't wait to see how he is going to change the present lives of his family and friends. I'm not really sold on the restaurant scenes, and the second lead hasn't really convinced me as to why he likes Jung Won. I'm mostly invested in Hae Sung's storyline and I want to see how the rest of his family members are getting along with their lives…so that he can find them and bring them together like the big softie he is! <3

Suspicious Partner was fun in the beginning, but it's kind of draggy where I'm up to. I'm mostly sticking around for the team of lawyers because they're all so hilarious! The main couple are still in the 'I like you but not gonna tell you that just yet' stage and it's kind of tiring. I hope the speed picks up and I'm looking forward to learning more about the killer and why he does what he does (i.e. motivation).

Looking forward to starting Forest of Secrets and The Best Hit.
SO excited for Criminal Minds, Falsify and Strongest Deliveryman.

The Best Hit: Can we start the clamoring for Season 2 now?
I'll join you @javabeans

You know when an actor is good when you forget that they're acting when you watch a drama.

You know when a drama is good when your heart is filled with joy and becomes more fluffly (? hahaha know it's not the right word but couldn't think of the more appropriate word to use).

Secret Forest is a good drama as I almost always forget the fact that the actors are acting and there are very few, if any, loopholes in the story. As far as it goes, every discovery is able to be explained by what happened before that, as well as the actors' history, characteristics and gestures. I don't know if there is going to be any drama which beats FoS this year for me, but right now all I can say is that FoS has set the bar so high!

Not watching any of the premieres this week but good to hear it's entertaining enough, guess I'll give Man Who Dies To Live, Reunited Worlds, and School 2017 a try in few weeks (or when it has ended) because I cannot stand cliffhangers.

I will definitely be watching Forest Of Secret soon!

I feel like Seven Day Queen has been ruling my heart, while Forest of Secrets has my brain occupied all week, and it's taking a bit of time to feel engaged in the new batch.

I managed to get my friends hooked on Circle before (part of the reason I sacrificed being part of the recaps) and now FoS too and we spent the whole afternoon today just sipping tea, reading comments on the ep 12 recap, and discussing. So much fun! I'm really happy to have a show mentally engaging enough to distract me from the dagger 7DQ just plunged straight through my heart this week.

Catching up on The Best Hit! Aw, I have some issues with the show, but JB made me realize that I'm probably just upset about not getting more of it. There are just some arcs I want so much more of. I'm not ready to say goodbye. Also catching up on Father is Strange.

I really enjoyed aspects about a lot of the premieres, but am not fully invested in anything yet. I came ready to fall in love with Reunited Worlds and I totally did...to an extent. I think I had weirdly high expectations or something, because it hasn't perfectly come together for me. Still, I just adore this premise, Yeo Jin-goo, and all the story potential this has!

The King Loves is the opposite case. I came in pretty wary, despite the recent news about Song Ji-na, simply because I really wasn't sure about this love triangle having chemistry. However, I found myself pleasantly surprised because of this misgiving. It isn't flawless, but it's a lot more engaging than expected. And, I admit, I'm finding the setting/time period super refreshing and could almost watch for that and the beautiful scenery alone!

As for School 2017, well, there's actually a lot I REALLY like about it, but it also has quite a few ridiculous things going on. Did I mention I don't care? Haha, I like taking it as seriously as our heroine's comic. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a Mori with a cheeky sense of humor ;)

I'm honestly waiting for Strongest Deliveryman though! Think this could be my next fav.

Watching and enjoying Duel, The Best Hit, and Forest of Secrets as usual.

Starting School 2017 this week and I'm pleasantly surprised that I like it more than I though I would. It gave me a sense of nostalgia that I don't usually get from other school drama. Many characters seems like the usual mix you get from youth drama, but with a hint of differences here and there. For now, it's enough to keep my interest and I hope it stays enjoyable throughout the drama.

-Crime Scene 3: Eps 12. Finale eps. ?? I love the outrageous backstories for our criminal this week. And as usual, it's always such a treat to watch the cast playing themselves. So many inside jokes flying around and they get to poke fun at characters they've been playing before. This season might not be as exciting and laugh-out-loud funny as the previous season, but it certainly has its own charm. I will miss it. They'll make the 4th season, right? Right??

Man Who Lives To Die was such a huge disappointment honestly. As a Muslim alot of the scenes in the episodes bothered and it felt like my religion was being mocked somehow ? You can tell the writers/producers didn't do their research properly . And it's such a shame because I was looking forward to the drama. I hope they realize what they're doing wrong and apologize. And change future episodes.

I'm a little behind on 7 Day Queen and The Best Hit. Things got incredibly busy this last week leaving little time for dramas, but I was able to check out the premieres for The King Loves, which I like; and School 2017, which I'm ambivalent to. The trouble with School 2017 wasn't one I anticipated - I like the lead actress well enough, she's pretty likable and natural in her acting and the men are doing a fine job as well - the trouble is how generic the plot feels atm. I would like to be able to differentiate this drama from every other high school drama out there, but so far have not been able to. It's early days yet, though.

It's a shame neither Dramafever nor Viki are carrying Reunited Worlds or The Man who Dies to Live, but I'm not going to watch them on any illegal sites. Last time I did, my laptop was badly infected with Viruses, and I decided it really wasn't worth it.?

Loving the last few episodes of Duel and Forest of Secrets, the latter show is surprisingly excellent and gets better each week. But my crack drama remains Father Is Strange, I can't wait for subs anymore and watch each episode twice -raw and subbed! Lol.

That's just Choi Min-soo being the on screen diva every inch of the way but he believes what he does.
I'm waiting for all the weirdness to settle then I'll start watching lol.
