I thought Eun Ho couldn't go into that prestigious university but it may not mean that her dream ended. Remember she had a lot more viewers for her webtoon at the end of the show?

superfox . . . the hipster.

I'm watching hospital ship too! I just miss seeing Ha jiwon on my screen that I just don't think too much about the medical aspects. Tho I'm not sure if its really a common occurence that surgeons perform surgery out of their specialty and succeed just through a video chat guidance?

Very!!! I haven't seen these episodes because I've been dealing with real life medical drama, and it certainly doesn't include having surgery during a sea storm. I'm probably not going to stay on top of live watching this one--if it was even half as good as RDTK, I'd try. But it just isn't in terms of the medicine and I can only suspend by disbelief for so long.

Hospital Ship is one one the dumbest dramas I have seen in a while. One of those I am watching just to see what the facepalm score is. About as realistic and logical as a politicians promises.

I've always had a thing for medical dramas which is why in watching hospital ship i think for the plot and medical accuracy its abit meh and maybe less than average base on what i see but i do think the acting is pretty good (i mean there's ha ji won afterall) and i feel it has a lot of heart (at least for me) espicially this latest episode, yes the plot isn't exactly fresh but you can never go wrong with an arc about a mother dying and the daughter not knowing

I wanted to like this drama but started rolling my eyes when they show a person whose hand was just chopped off sitting there nonchalantly! Like, seriously, shouldn't he be in so much pain and shock that he'd be passed out? Also, why do writers think it's cute to show people physically abusing another? When that patient was pulling the doctor's hair, why did no one help her and instead tried to cajole the abuser? Where's the respect one would usually show to a professional? Probably the thing that irked me the most was when the male lead wrist grabbed (several times) his more senior, in age and experience, colleague.

While I didn't watch School 2017, I do have to say that all the posts on the Beanie Wall regarding the drama were ......

Tae-rrific ?

Miss them already.
I thought we have had a dictionary of Tae-nglish by these 16 episodes.
Can we have another drama with this Tae-ho as main leading?
And sure we're gonna have dictionary vol-2.

Thanks for the hurricane wishes! Everything is ready and now I'm hoping to catch up on dramas before we lose power in a few days. ?

"Rin's still a schmuck. He'd be boring in real life."

Haha good thing that you end it that way. I wonder how did you do it? I'd be so damn mad at my boyfriend if he defied my ship, especially when he said bad things about my bias. But then again, I guess I'm the immature one. HAHA

The King Loves is still really well made, but it does feel a bit like it's spinning in circles lately. Make Won bad or pick a lane, drama! Too funny about the opposing ships. They need to make San actually say it out loud to stop the wars! You are good to hold your tongue about it :)

I didn't see your Hospital Ship OTP game, but I'm 34 so it totally applies to me! I'd have to pick Hong Jong Hyun or Ji Chang Wook. Not as big of a gap as the Hospital Ship one, but still...

The Hospital Ship OTP game would mean I'd get to choose from actors born in 1992. Cool! Off to go see... ?

Bad form replying to myself, but can the writer also attempt to depict familial conflict without the histrionic conversations. How about dignified, intelligent conversations between adults about disagreements cleverly depicting the conflicting viewpoints and emotional buildup? Might also want to try that for a change of pace? Hmm?

Goodness. I guess I'm gonna stay far far away from it then. Live donor liver surgery is difficult even on stable dry land, and the post op care for the patient who gets the liver is intensive and complicated. Though yes, it is dramaland, I need some realism! I don't do LOTT, at least for medical stuff. ?

Lots of issues and chips on shoulders surrounded by water and stuck with each other.

The first week was close to "so bad it's good" territory. Now it's worse, not in a good way.

y'know after watching Code Blue, i got whiplash when trying to rewatch Romantic Dr Kim.i mean, no matter how critical the patient is, code blue character always grab for gloves first. kdrama character, touch the patient with bare hand. and that is a basic procedure.???

I just don't get it. Even if it's emergency, why can't she even ask for informed consent?! Or at least notify the patient and the family beforehand on what you are going to do. You just can't cut people up without explaining first the rationale. It makes patient even more anxious and makes blood pressure to shoot up. Gosh, I still can't get past episode 5! I will pick it back up when I'm in the mood.

Hospital Ship is one of those shows that is so bad that it is funny. Just so much wrong with it it would take pages to list them all, but a few of my favorites:
1. Totally know-nothing doctors - including a "traditional medicine" doctor on a Hospital Ship?
2. Not only is the lead lady doctor more skilled than "Doctor X", she also manages to float around from village to village AND work full time in a hospital ER hours away from where the ship operates.
3. The shaman lady.. not so much that they had a shaman, that is not uncommon. What made it really bad was that they actually seemed to be actively pushing the superstitious nonsense as being real.

Oh dear I remember watching Kim Go-eun's The Muse after I got obsessed with Goblin. Man, the love scenes were unbelievable! Esp since I saw KGE as this innocent bride/schoolgirl. But then, yes, it's art and won lots of awards and KGE raked up all newbie actress awards that year.

There are some I've watched that are good and not NC17- like Finding Mr Destiny (Gong Yoo!), The Beauty Inside, The Suspect and Like for Likes, Train to Busan etc that are good watches but free from sex and nudity.
Just make sure to check the rating before clicking "watch". ?

Maybe check the ratings first? I do that with every films because they is no restriction when it comes to sex, language and violence.
I always check out IMDb's Parents Guide. Most of the time it'd give you detail information on sex and nudity, drugs, number of f words that is being said in the whole movie etc.
I'd also read all reviews that I can get my hands on before I watch one.
I don't watch R-rated Korean films in the theatre. I prefer to watch it at home with the remote control lol.

Is there a possibility she truly loves both?? LOL even a non-watcher is interested who will she choose! Song Ji-nah probably wanted to try the formula like Reply franchise to attract viewers, but if it is true, I'm disappointed. Hope this is not a trend, second lead syndrome is fine for me, but not with the uncertain OTP. I don't like when writer plays with my heart, in a bad way.

"nonsensical writing or writer trolling viewers (as I've learnt)"
Annoys me to no end.

Did you have any luck with subs for "Argon?"

Re: The King Loves - up until the latest episode the show was pretty clear that she loved the second lead, and it still seems to be heading that way. The main girl made a comment about how she felt tied to Won, but to me it still seemed as though she doesn't have romantic feelings for him, just a strong friendship. Then again I prefer Rin for her, so maybe I am biased!!

TL;DR - I totally agree that trolling the viewers is annoying, and I wish they'd just have her speak her feelings clearly so the shipping wars would stop and people would stop looking for clues for their ship that may or may not even be there.

Age of Youth would be really fun to watch with a friend! How was rewatching season 1 and then going straight to season 2? Was the transition weird at all? I planned on doing that but got too excited when the new episodes came out haha.

I've seen the coverage too. It's really brutal. Just one disaster right after another. I know there's a Beanie in Puerto Rico and I hope they're safe. All other Beanies i hope you're okay too.
In the western US it's been fire season and it's everywhere. My brother's a wildfire firefighter so it's hard. Thankfully all he has is horrible poison oak contact and lack of regular showers.
I've been trying to make time to watch Live Up to Your Name since A I've only seen/heard good things and B I don't want to get too behind...but there are so many dramas I want to watch right now.
Have an awesome weekend.

LUTYN - it is always fun when an actor is very dedicated to the character he playes and gets absorbed in the role. and I also think Yeon-Kyung is very doctor-like. People say she is too rude and unfair, but from my experience doctors can often seem rough and incosiderate, they always have to act quick and they don´t have time to consider your feelings, your humiliation, your surprise, your hesitation. they can be very nice, too, but it is really a jackpot if the doctor is efficient AND nice.

Hwaiting!
Sounds like you are enjoying yourself so it's great!
And I can so relate to you on not being able to find free time. I wish there were 48 hours a day! Just so I could spend 12 sleeping ?

Okay, good luck ? will pray for you

Congrats on joining the work force and liking your job!
Free time is tough to manage. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it and make the most of your time here and time.
Aww Good luck on the exam!

good luck!

I can relate to this. Few months ago,I quitted by job in my dream company.Rested for almost a year. Now work is overwhelming plus working on my thesis and I still have an ongoing online class.It is tiring but at the same time feeling very fulfilled and accomplished.

Good luck! Good luck! I'll certainly pray for you! :)

I love Taeyang on the variety shows, he's pretty funny. Looking forward to seeing the new Fantastic Duo episodes, his last collaboration on there was amazing. Then again I am pretty biased towards him - just saw him in concert this week!

I am debating picking up Manhole, but waiting to see if it's worth the headache.

Man Who Sets the Table was just crazy for the first two episodes. I loved it (that pool fight!) One family goes for makjang and the other recreates their favourite cheesy rom-coms (I mean, we all use kdrama lines and tropes in real life right?)

The Eyes, Nose, Ears collaboration really was phenomenal! I'm going to watch it again. It was just WOW! I can't wait for the 2nd part! And, his I Live Alone episode was really funny! I loved it!

The Man Who Sets The Table first 2 episodes has got my attention. On Joo Wan is too cute! Looking forward to more! I may actually commit to a 50 episode drama this time!

Watched this week's Fantastic Duo coincidentally and so glad I stumbled upon it. Taeyang, never a fan of him but he shone so bright that night his voice wow. Those contestants were amazing too (Taeyang girlfriend and dunk guy are my faves). And agree that Eyes, Nose, Lips collaboration was DAEBAK. I didn't even know that song but now it's ringing inside my head.

Mmm...Currently airing.
Strongest Deliveryman & Rescue Me
SD is adorable and light.
Rescue Me is intense and I'm on the edge of my seat.

Some dramas I've watched recently that I have enjoyed are:

Weight Lifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo
Goblin
Fight My Way
Chief Kim
Tunnel
Cheese In the Trap
Marriage Contract
Signal
Seven Day Queen
Circle

I'm like you. I don't typically watch tons of dramas at once. I usually will watch one on my own (which takes a couple weeks usually for me to finish) and one with my mom (which we watch every other weekend together). I usually watch a more current one with my Mom and an older one on my own. But the ones I mentioned are some within the last couple years both newer and older that I really enjoyed.

Completely agree with you on The King Loves! I am still enjoying it, but the whole thing is going to spoiled if she jumps ship to Won for no real reason (especially after she still seemed interested in Rin even after their cave talk about threads - the nighttime eye flirting). I think she feels obligated to Won since he keeps declaring her as his, and would feel guilty just running off with Rin without talking to him. At least, that's the hope I'm clinging to :)

Argh... Lee Jun Ki! He did not listened to me when way back then, I have posted many times how I am so against him doing another remake. Hope he will get offered to do a rom-com next time.

I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only one waiting for the drama when you were sleeping!!!

Make yourself a deal (as I do every day). Study uninterrupted for 50 minutes (research suggests that this is how much time you can do something and be the least distracted and learn the most) then 10 minutes of something fun (stalking dramabeans). Do this for however long you want, 4-5 hours. Then at the end of your 4-5 hours if you've been good, reward yourself with 3-4 hours of dramas! That's 8-9 hours a day that you've done work AND you've fed your drama addiction. Good luck!

How exciting! I hope you really like university life.
Yeah I'm really behind on Reunited Worlds. I'd have to get the bigger subscription from Viki but I'm not dying to do that right now. I wish it was shorter and better written. There were so really moving parts in between some really inane parts.
Hyori's homestay looks good. I always see screen caps on the beanie wall but I haven't made the time yet to watch it but it is on my radar.
Bullying in kdramas eh? That's a great topic. I always find bullying in dramas so layered. First of all they depict bullying in all situations school, family, friends, work, etc and they all depict it with all ages. The reasons vary greatly too. For instance, you are poorer than me, you aren't pretty, you're father was a murderer, I'm invisible so I'm going to hurt you, my crush likes you, the boss likes you and for no apparent reason what so ever. The ways are interesting too. Sometimes it's those back handed compliments, physical fighting, small gestures, being left out of group texts, not being invited out with the group, insults, and threats. I'm not sure why but it's really jarring for me to see bullying in kdramas. I mean it's important to the drama and to reality but it's just a different cultural way to bully and it tossing me sideways.
