The only drama I watch these days is School 2017. And this week eps is extra fun, swoony, and heartwarming. Seeing Bo-ra and Dae-hwi stood up to those trying to control them and regained their courage to fight for justice was so satisfying.

I also started watching Three Meals a Day S3, and found myself keep swooning over Mr. Grumpy Seo-jinnie.

Mars : I already watched the Japanese remake and now I'm on ep 5 od the Taiwanese adaptation.

Father is Strange : Errr at least we had cute moments with RY-CS and MY-JH to balance makjang.

Woman of Dignity : I can't wait to watch the finale episodes !

Manhole : This week was definitely better than the last. Seeing Pil changing his life every week is great. I understand why Jaejoong wanted to do this.

Rescue Me : It's such a chilling watch with the cult.

Falsify : I like the plot and the characters but I'm not as invested as I thought.

The King Loves : Aaargh my ship ! My bromance ! My beautiful trio ! I don't know what to think >_<

Reunited Worlds : We have more informations about the murder and I think Hae Sung's brother was undoubtedly involved.

Strongest Deliveryman : I don't know why but I'm more invested in the chaebols. It's interesting to see them live as commoners and their bickering is entertaining. Or that's what I thought before seeing the second lead becoming evil.

School 2017 : Bo Na made me so proud and Bit Na can just go see her mummy ! I hope Dae Hwi and Nam Joo will at least be friendly again. Hee Chan is scary and crazy. I don't know what will happen to him but I hope he's going to pay for his bad actions.

Bride of the Water God : Im Joo Hwan as Hu Ye is the best thing in this show.

Live Up To Your Name : I love Kim Nam Gil <3 His fish-out-of-water antics are fun and I'm invested in his character.

Rescue Me - continue to be very intriguing... scary, but addicting... all characters are very well-written. Taec, oh Taec, you are such a kind-hearted person who can't say no to your dad... as a high-school kid, I cannot resist to my parents' wishes as well, this is so realistic! Dong-chul - you are so cool...
Reunited Worlds - still admiring HS's beautiful smile.
Manhole - was about to start, but hold... what's wrong with its ratings?
Bride of the Water God - I have dropped this drama. No more for me. It is simply boring!!

School 2017- ?????
Reunited Worlds- ??
Rescue Me- ??
Strongest Deliveryman- ?...??...?

Bride of Water God, Suspicious Partner, Forest of Secrets, Father is Strange and Criminal Minds all paused...

While busy traveling for work and pleasure for the past month, I couldn’t bring myself to watch some of my favorite dramas like Seven Day Queen and Forest of Secrets because I felt I could not give them the full attention they deserve. I decided to check out the C-drama Love O2O with likable and intelligent heroine and taciturn but caring hero. After watching nothing but K-dramas for the past year, it acted as a refreshing palate cleanser for K-drama tropes and beats. When there is misunderstandings between the leads they immediately talk and resolve them before an barely any angst can register. The stakes of the conflicts feel so low that it was such easily-digestible summer watch, and I also get to gawk at Yang Yang’s face while he tries to be the most impossibly perfect boyfriend.

SarangTae School 2017 : How rare is it that we get to see so much of how our two leads genuinely enjoy each others’ company (like everywhere and all day and night!) I also love that in this installment of School Series we get to see young adults dealing with the painful process of a breakup which is significant part of growing up. But one looming question in my mind after episode 9&10: where is my own TaeTae showing off his long legs and putting his veiny arm on my shoulder for my head to rest on?
Finger hearts to eternaTai!

Strongest Deliveryman: I love every one of our 4 leads, but it is Kim Sun-ho’s portrayal of the tormented chaebol with the cheeky façade that really tugs on my heartstring. The unexpected performance feels like déjà vu of how I feel about Dong Ha who stole the show in Suspicious Partner. Maybe both Dong Ha and Kim Sun-ho rubbed some acting magic off of Namgung Min during Chief Kim. Perhaps the casting director for that show deserves much kudos for recognizing these two raw talents and giving them opportunities leading to these higher profile roles.

Live Up to Your Name: Could this be the one medical drama without hospital politics? I like how our Joseon doctor is enamored with the awesome female surgeon, but her modern superior loathes her as a woman in the profession (he is the one who deserves some serious shin-kicking.)
Side note: this hospital might have the worse security ever who let a seemingly crazed man wandering around the hospital for hours on end!

Second Season Forest of Secrets: Shi-mok and Yeo-jin cohabitation hijinks on the rooftop. Together they will once again right the wrongs in the world with the same mutual respect and support but now armed with hugs and kisses (red lipstick pretty please?)

Seven Day Queen is like the biggest crush I couldn’t bring myself to call after returning to town after a summer of absence. I have missed it intensely, and forlorn to see it, but I know its presence will shake me to the core. Tomorrow, I say. I promise to call tomorrow.

Oh Kimbap, you scaredy cat, own up your feelings like a 18-year-old hak-saeng, won’t you?...

I only watch The King Loves and Reunited Worlds (almost drop the last one coz the story is going nowhere).
I am glad tineybeanie watching TKL... I have a bad SLS too. I don't know if the acting is meh.... ISW and HJH seem fine to me.. Even Yoona shows some progress. I usually able to notice if the acting is terrible, i.e IU in scarlet heart, Gu Hye Sun in almost everything or Seo Kang Jun (gasp!! Forgive me!!) in Entourage. But maybe I am just bias coz I love TKL so much!!

Bride of The Water God: I'm not bitter that this show never reached its potential. I think because I'm watching it week by week, I get enough enjoyment out of it as it meanders along. I actually buy the chemistry between the leads though I find that if he has to leave her there, it's good if she hooks up with the other guy.

School 2017: Yeah, the guy is swoonworthy (I think I just made up that word), but I like the lead gal so much. Her perplexed look as her guy goes in for the kiss was perfect. Also, the scene where Dae Hwi apologizes was well done. It really is never too late.

Criminal Minds: I found this to be a flawed but easy watch, but my computer antivirus doesn't like the sites its on so I'll just have to hope it gets picked up by Netflix someday. Best OST song of 2017 for me.

The King's Woman: (C-drama) Rough first two episodes but I'm already invested after one week even though my gut tells me this is all gonna be tragic.

Watch List: So I finished up The Lady and the Liar: delightful. Jumped into The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry: Really liked the friendship of the gals and some laugh out loud moments. Jin: So after hearing there was a much better J-drama, I jumped in and loved series 1. Two episodes into series 2 and Viki lost the license. #*$!!(#& That's all I have to say about that. Marriage Contract: I'm not a huge melo person, but I remember the buzz on this one. I am most amazed that it didn't drag. The pacing was amazing and the leads worked well together though on paper, I would have said no.

So now I am deciding between: Three Days, Heard It Through The Grapevine, or Protect The Boss. They are nothing alike so probably just be what mood I'm in.

School 2017 - im so invested that i would even stream it live, who cares if its w/o subs thats how inlove i am.

My current watch right now:
1. School 2017, my favorite right now! Kim Jung Hyun aka Tae Swoon and many other nicknames is just so lovable. He and Eun Ho together is a perfect combination. The bullies really really get on my nerves, I hope soon they will each get their own karma

2. Live Up to Your Name, mannn the first 2 episodes is so funny! And just like girlfriday said above, Kim Nam Gil played fish-out-of-water so briliantly. I hope it will continue to be great until the end.

3. Reunited World, I still haven't caught up with the latest episodes yet. But so far, it's quite alright. Although I do aggree that everyone seems accepting Hae Sung coming back into their lives. No matter how hard I think about the ending, it seems like a happy ending between Hae Sung and Jung Won is impossible. Considering Hae Sung really dead and maybe he just come back to this world to find the one who killed him and making sure his siblings live a good life and after that he will come back to the afterlife. Unless they manage to resurect Hae Sung back to life. So I'm gonna brace myself for whatever gonna comes.

4. Manhole, ckck I'm really annoyed with Bong Pil, he's so whinny. If you said you've been in love with her for 23 years but never say anything, I think you don't have right to be mad about the wedding. Stopping the wedding is cruel if the groom is a good guy, but thank god the groom is not a saint so yeah by all means save Soo Ji. I decided to watch up to episode 6 before deciding to drop this drama or not.

Also, is Strongest Deliveryman worth watching??

I try to watch Circle at ep4 now. But I stopped. Its quite good, but not that fast pace like everyone said so? I dk is it only me thinking is quite dragging with too many same repetitive childhood/past scenes rewind?

Thats all. Can u blv it? I want to try FIGHT MY WAY or any other recommendations for romcom? I want something light, actually want to rewatch BOKJU when the news broke so.. :(

Let's see, I have no idea how I end up with 9 dramas a week:

School 2017 or Swoon 2017: Love love love!
The King Loves: Team WonRinSanDan to be happy, that's all I'd wish for.
Reunited Worlds: Tae Hoon x Young In and Jin Joo x Ho Bang couples are the main reason why I stick to this drama. And of course, Hae Chul, Gong Ju & Soo Ji too.
Manhole: I actually love Gangster Pil, more understanding and less whining.
Rescue Me: Simply, THE BEST. I hope it stays interesting until the end. *our wishes will be fulfilled*
Strongest Deliveryman: Kim Sun Ho ???
Live Up to Your Name: Sold! Who knows Kim Nam Gil can be so funny in comedy drama.
Criminal Minds: I'm still sticking strong for Lee Jun Ki oppa. Let's see if I can still endure this drama because of him.
Bride of the Water God: I put on hold to this drama for 3 weeks before, and I'm still catching up. I'm at ep 11 and hope to catch up asap before the finale is out.

Strongest Deliveryman: *flips multiple tables consecutively then walks away screaming* for what the writer did to Jin-gyu's character development.
School 2017: Finally, that turn-around was long overdue, Dae-hwi. Glad to have Bo-ra gain back her sass as well.
Criminal Minds: I just keep muttering "OMG, here comes another psycho" every single episode.
Hyori's Homestay: I love this little relaxing show, it's my go-to oasis on Friday nights at the end of a long working week.

Live Up To Your Name is ❤❤❤. Never expected Bidam to be so effortlessly funny.

Criminal Minds is Lee Jun Ki. He is the only reason I'm staying. I am getting frustrated over how he has been consistently let down by the production teams - bad editing, bad writing and what not.

Reunited Worlds: I'll admit, I do not give two hoots about the plot. I'm just here for the friends and family stuff and awkward romances. I know angst is inevitable, but why worry about the end when I can just enjoy Hae Sung and Jung Won's cute dates and crockery sets for ants! :)

Dal Ja's Spring: So I began this on a whim last week and by my own standards, I'm bingewatching cause I'm currently at ep 14. I think if this would have been the first kdrama I watched, it would have set some impossibly standards. As it is, I don't think I'm going see a drama again where they very realistically portray the pressure to get married, wanting to do well in your career and dealing with the fact that romantic relationships are hard if you have never been in one. Also, this show has so many supportive women, different kinds of women!!!! I absolutely love the drama and I think Dal Ja might be one of my all time favourite heroines and Dal Ja and Tae Bong are pretty much going to be one of my OTP's. Despite the fact that this was made in 2007, I think it holds up pretty well even in 2017. Despite the passage of time, some themes stay the same!

School 2017: This just gets better and better.

Reunited Worlds: I'm so behind, I don't even know.

Strongest Deliveryman: I simultaneously love and hate the second leads, which is kind of fun. Also, how hilarious is that that Kang-soo has an army?

Gap-dong: I like it so far. Lee Joon is rocking it.

Manhole: I tried, but I don't think so. Not right now.

Miss Korea: Just so gooooood.

Misaeng: It takes me a while to get into it, since most of the workplace terms go over my head, but I love being in this world.

One Week Friends: Awww, that was so adorable!

Swoon 2017 - Taaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! ???
Rescue Me This show makes me think a lot. ???
Live Up To Your Name Kim Nam Gil ???
The King Loves Just started. Eh...is this the same Yoona from K2 and Hong Jong Hyun from Moon Lovers?

All my shows are dramas which I didn't planned to watch.

I was looking forward to BOTWG because I loved Nam Joo Hyuk in WFKBJ. I did like Haebak and So Ah but I just somehow can't get into the show. In its place, School 2017 gave me all the laughs and giggles. To think that I didn't even like school genre in the first place. Even though I love Se Jeong and Kim Jung Hyun, there's a lot I like about the drama besides these cuties.

Criminal Minds reminds me of a catwalk where models strut their stuff, unsmiling, looking cool and all. There's a lot more posturing in the show than profiling. Rescue Me on the other hand offers a lot more disturbing villains and more interesting characters. The show makes me ponder a lot - cult vs religion, predators vs preys, the strong vs weak.

I am discovering Kim Nam Gil, I don't think I've seen him in anything before although I have definitely heard of him. Such a hoot but he can turn on the charm in a twinkling of an eye.

I'm with Girlfriday on the School 2017's youtube clips binge-watching. This week's episode feel too short that I find myself searching related videos for hours, or maybe until I get my adorableness fix next week, I guess. I can watch Eun-ho/Tae-woon with their adorable quibbles anyday.

The King's love : Wow, I really like the show for what it is. It's not as intense that it hooked and grip you tight but they really know how to make the scenes memorable. Many scenes stay in my memory like it just happened. I think the biggest credit is for the team, the director, the shot, the small movement just fits perfectly into my feelings.
I can't believe this show become my favourite for what they did to their character.

Criminal Minds : hmm, not an improvement but a step back, I mean just why?

Strongest Deliveryman : This drama made me feel conflicted because I know what the characters feel but the writer makes this weird.
I understand if they want to punish the illegal race but throughout the show, that's not their motive at all. They seem to look for someone to blame and take responsibility other than their friend and the one that had the accident with him.
Ofc jin gyu is wrong at the illegal race and need to be punished for that but the drama seems to want the viewer to think that Jin Gyu is the culprit for the accident which is not. I hope they make it clear that the accident and the illegal race does have a relation but not action-reaction. Blocking the road doesn't make the accident happen That's why I find it weird when people who side with kang soo are celebrating Jin Gyu downfall. I get the happiness to make it happen from their hard work but it's not him that caused that.

It's funny how everybody has the same reaction to Rescue/Save Me. It's like an accident that you can't look away from because you really need to know what happens next, even though deep inside you know you are not going to like what you see. It's riveting and heartbreaking at the same time.

First of all : New journey to the west season 4. This week's episode - I was soo ready to start dropping the tears cause I was missing them.. And then they pulled the "Guy you wouldn't want your sister to date" and gave me the best finale ever. Thank you soo much Na PD !!!
Mon-Tue . Falsify - You are amazing. This week's episode was like a healing drama. I am watching an amazing drama. Aaaaaaa
Wed -Thu. Man who dies to live - I still want her to dump her husband, but overall this drama is so well balanced. Every moment makes sense except when the egos start playing and you enjoy it more.
Manhole - I can see how the circles are making people not want to watch it, cause I honestly thought we'd have less time-jumps. Other than that I love JaeJoong and I'm having female second lead syndrome.
Weekend - Save Me - OK.I'm here and I'm ready. Lay it on me you evils.

Old ones - I have been hearing about Lee Seung Gi since forever so now I'm watching New Journey to the west season one. And also wondering which next project of him to take this time.

I was busy during the last weeks finishing my master's thesis so I don't have much time for watching dramas :( But these two dramas helped me to rest my tired brain:
Bride of the Water God: it is a disappointment. It could have been such a good drama but it is draggy and boring. Its only a few episodes left so I will finish it.
Manhole: it is easy to watch and I like the humour but less whining would be good.

Swoon 2017!! ???
I was really prepared for mediocre high school drama when I picked this up, but so many things in this drama exceed my expectation!

My only concern right now: I need to always keep pokerface whenever I'm in public place, because I can smile ear to ear just by remembering our OTP scenes.

I am in some sort of drama slump so the only drama that I'm watching these days is Father Is Strange. I am both anticipating the episodes week by week but also dreading the day that the story ends huwaa...hope to see Lee Joon and Jung So Min in another drama once Lee Joon out from his military service in 2019...
