Can't wait for the new set of shows next week to quench the dryness drama land is right now

◾◾ Dramas (This picture of Kim Ki-Doo he was the master of laugh for me ㅋㅋㅋ in Strongest Deliveryman)
◾ Temperature of chemistry : it’s still hot 🔥😍 Ep9-12 I was relieved with Hyun Soo voiceover in ep9-10, but Jung Sun voiceover in this ep11-12 was heartbreaking, a dark cloud is coming 😟. Regarding the leads chemistry : wow it always surprises me and I fully enjoy it 😍 ㅋㅋㅋ. Swoony moment in the cold room : that almost kiss 😍 , I was hoping/saying "door please be closed" 😆
◾ No other drama : I’ve put Rebel Thief on hold again it’s good but I’m not in the right mood to appreciate it, so I’m in a drama slump compared to my usual schedules, but next week Revolutionary love will start 🤗 . Two "on hold" and one "dropped" from @javabeans *there there*

Circle: Technically, I'm rewatching it because I refuse to let Reunited Worlds be the last thing I've seen of Yeo Jin Goo. Also, I want to see how Circle holds up to a rewatch and so far, it's pretty dang good. Coming back to life is a lot better when there are aliens involved.

Liar Game - I kind of put in hold because I got distracted by LUTYN and Lingerie Girls Generation but now I've picked it up again and appreciating Shin Sung Rok's EVERYTHING. Also, yay for a hero who can go toe to toe with the villain. And yay for a villain who's intelligent but also balls-out crazy.

Let's Meet Joo Oh - It's a KBS drama special starring Jo Bo Ah and I remember seeing the trailer and really liking it so after I got sad about the fact that she keeps getting relegated to bitchy second leads, I went to Youtube and saw a whole bunch of clips. It has no subs (as yet) but funnily enough, I can understand the dialogue passably enough and she and Son Ho Jun are pretty dang cute together. I hope to find the full version soon somewhere.

Waiting for next week batch (In my order of preference):
Go back spouses
Witch's court
Mad dog
Revolutionary love
20th century boy and girl
Package
Buamdong revenge social club
Black
This life is our first

Girls' Generation 1979: Huhuhu... It feels 8 eps too short. What I really love about this drama is the way they use the ensemble characters to tell stories about friendship, family, and love  from many different POV. This is also a drama without antagonist, because everyone is only flawed human who is capable to change and learn from their mistake. And this brief experience with the opinionated Seoul girl would definitely become a longlasting, precious memories for them all.

Age of Youth S2: Seems like the writer is hell-bent on making us worried about a certain girl's future fate this week. Repeating other beanies, if there's irrecoverable damage happened to our resident girls and boys by the finale eps, there will be hell to pay writer-nim.

While You Were Sleeping: I can't seem to stay away from Park Hye-ryun's drama because despite convincing myself I only need to read the recaps, I ended up push that play button after all and the rest is history. The fantasy element in this one is more complicated than in her previous dramas, but it isn't convoluted (yet), so it makes for an interesting watch. I just wish Yu-beom is more on a morally gray area with his own internal struggles rather than simply unlikable, because it would make him that much more compelling as a character.

Three Meals a Day S4: Ep 7-8. Seo-jin ajusshi made me busy fangirling again with that huge, delicious mammoth bread. I can't believe that Jong-suk is actually so adorable and shy in real(-ish) life. This is like the first time I realized that Kyung-sang is a hyung (and an oppa for me). Somehow, he feels like a forever maknae in this program.

Oh, I'm so relieved I'm not the only one who didn't think Forest of secrets was not the black pearl in the sea which I was thinking it would be after all those superlatives...

I love Age of youth but I don't know, after yesterdays episode, ohhhhh!

What I was watching this week : nothing. I am not really in a drama slump, because I'm still excited to watch on-going or completed dramas. I just got no spare time in my schedule, after long hours of work, I have no energy left at night like I used to be. 5 minutes after I turned on my PC, the bed were calling me and I gave up.. 😴

Well, pretty much a dry quarter in dramaland since the School 2017 has ended, and then Live up to your name has ended..
But, but, but...
While You Were Sleeping has caught me hook, line, and sinker!!! I just love how it's all put up, the plot, the main leads, the twist, the suspense.... I just love it!
And then, I managed to finally start Reply 1994. It's so hilarious. I cannot stop grinning from ear to ear... I'm still at the early episodes, so I am savoring the moments... lols.
I am kinda of limiting myself to only watch 1 episode per day to not ran out of something to watch before I sleep.

All I can say is JB is on fire! :D I love the unabashed and unapologetic JB lol.

Lingerie Girl's Generation: That was a cute ending. I was so convinced she was going to choose Jin for a second, I was actually screaming at her, and now I'm embarrassed that I fell for such an obvious trap. I wasn't completely happy with this show (Where's my thriller sub-plot, huh?) but it proved to be cute and a surprisingly interesting character study.

Temperature of Love: JUST KISS ALREADY.

While You Were Sleeping: I expected the heroine to be the most compelling character from the introduction, but Lee Jong-seok has already stole the show and ran off with it. Then again, there was never any doubt that he would outshine Suzy.

Age of Youth 2: I'm too exhausted for a Season 3. Pleeease just wrap up the stories I love in a satisifying way. I beg of you!

Overprotected Kahoko: I loved this at first - Takahata Mitsuki is hilarious and acts with her entire body - but we're falling into stupid territories now. Mum, stop being toxic and let your daughter live her own life - you're more immature than she is.

Can I start off by saying I hate the 30 min drama format? I'm watching 3 dramas and it feels like I have to catch up with 12 episodes when it's only 6.

Age of Youth 2 : I am going to refresh JTBC Drama YT channel like crazy tonight. GIVE US SSONGSUNG couple moments. I will hunt down the writer if I am not satisfied and also #teamseason3

TOL : I wish JungWoo would love someone who can love him. He is so nice it hurts me to see him sad.

WYWS: the funny moments are so cringy. Otherwise I love the mood of the drama. Suzy is so pretty!

Hospital ship : struggling to finish this week. I just want to watch the other 3 on this list repeatedly

While you were sleeping: I am so embarrassed for both the leads that I can't just help smiling.

Temperature of Love : Chemistry rocks.

I should start Age of Youth, but I haven't watched even the first one.

Found myself watching mostly variety shows these days:
Phantom Singer 2– They have finally reached the quartet round where I have reach eargasm with the beautiful harmonies sung by all five groups. There were plenty of goosebump moments, but I'm still waiting something powerful and emotional to make me cry like how Lilac did with "Look Inside". I like Forest's cover of Imagine Dragon's "Radioactive" and their performance was excellent, but I preferred the "Tornera L'Amore" and "Anche Se Non Ci Sei" cover renditions, which
I listened repeatedly to. Can't wait for next week's performances, now that they randomly mixed up the group once again.
Baek Jong Won's Food Truck – I really like shows with before and after transformations. Here, I like how they tackle everything from food recipes, preparation method, truck signage, customer service, time management, etc. A lot of good tips and advices for people thinking of starting a food truck business.
1% of Friendship – I hope this show gets a permanent slot cos' I find it interesting to see two persons with opposite characters and lifestyles trying to get along with each other. It's funny to see Ahn Jung-hwan feeling super awkward towards Bae Jung-nam who's like a bull charging headfirst, trying his best to get Ahn Jung-hwan to warm up to him. Oh, the fitting sessions were cringe-worthy and hilarious. Gahahaha.
Problematic Man – Ah, it's nice to see them recording outdoors and having fun, but I guess they all knew better that it's a trap. Can't wait to see them completing their missions in a haunted school. Funny that Tae-min is all "I LOVE THIS SORT OF STUFF" and Jun Hyun-moo's face is all "I CAN'T DO THIS SHIT".
Three Meals A Day: Pasture by The Sea – How awesome that Andy and Minwoo came to join them as guests. Died laughing at how the three guys tried so hard to look for their guests, who are just right under their nose and even blatantly put up clues for them, yet they fail so bad.
Night Goblin – It wasn't aired last week so I'm anxiously waiting for the coming episode. Hopefully Chun Jung-myung will get more comfortable with the other members and we get to see more reversal antics :D

Petorialist
Dating Agency Cyrano
White Christmas
Mama
The King Loves
Age Of Youth 2 Noooooo....that epilogue! One more episode and I don't think I can accept it if there is no AOY3.

I'm kind of sad that there aren't really that many dramas that I want to watch anymore. They all recently finished, and those that are left I can't really get into. I WAS interested in Temperature of Love, but mostly because I was interested in how the female lead (and male lead, I guess) would handle a subtly increasing possessive second male lead-slash-antagonist. (Maybe I'm looking for something that resembles Seven-Days Queen to fill that hole in my heart?) However, if he will only be the puppy guy who thinks he has a chance only to get hurt but then get over it, I can't really see a big point with watching it unless something interesting happens.

I watched the Chinese drama The King's Woman, and it just kind of ended strangely and almost felt like it ended tragically just for the sake of tragedy. But at any rate, that is also now over.

My favourite drama is period dramas, so the fact that the latest sageuk (Live up to Your Name) is over also kind of bums me out. Hopefully a new one will arrive in a few months.

I'm finally re-picked Live Up To Your Name after putting it on hold and have 6 epi to go. I'm quite enjoying it but not really loving it. It is quite a nice drama, but I think if the male lead is not Kim Nam-gil and someone that I'm not fond of, maybe I won't watch it.

For the current drama, only Age Of Youth and recently ended Girls Generation 1979 that I actually watching mainly for drama, not the casts. Temperature of Love - I'm enjoying and loving some parts, but again I think there is some magic or spell by Seo Hyun-jin made me love her drama. Maybe that's the power of love.

Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm actually in drama slump because I think I'm not, or probably I'm in denial.

Temperature of Love : Waffle Oppa <3 I want more of him on screen but I like to see the other leads too. I don't know what Jung Woo is up to, but I hope nothing bad is coming.

Age of Youth 2 : Eun Jae's breakup was so pitiful but needed ! Seeing a quick appearance of Chef made me so excited. Eun and Jang Hoon are adorable. Ye Eun's arc is satisfying and when will we get more of our favorite couple ?

While You Were Sleeping : First Love Oppa <3 I like this drama more than I thought. I hope there won't be any plot twist on Woo Tak's side. I want my Three Flying Dragons to remain together.

Manhole : I survived because of Jaejoong's prettiness.

Rescue Me : I'm actually happy for Sang Mi and the boys but the ending felt anticlimactic. Anyway, Seo Ye Ji, Jo Seong Ha, Jo Jae Yun, Park Ji Young and Woo Do Hwan gave amazing performances.

I still have to catch up to Hospital Ship, Live It Up To The Name, Lingerie Girl's Generation and Strongest Delivery Man.

Watched Legendary Shuttle (! ep Kdrama special that's been on my list for a while) today. Surprisingly enjoyable and funny. Lee Ji-hoon was amazing as expected (I loved him in Mirror of the Witch). And it's got Kyung-woo too (from School 2017; a.k.a guitar boy)! It's a great watch for a lazy weekend...especially with a lot of drama slumps opening up like wormholes!

Age Of Youth: I don't enjoy this season as much as I loved the last one. I don't know if it's because I'm watching it without subs or because I was looking forward to it for so long it ended up disappointing me or if it's because I just can't connect to the story as much as I would love to or as much as I did the first one. The only characters whose stories I seem to enjoy are Eun and Ye-eun.
Hospital Ship: Ha Ji-won is still the best thing about this drama. I feel very attached to her character and she has definitely made the list of my favourite kdrama women this year, but I feel like all the other characters just exist to enhance her story. Lee Seo-won is absolutely, unbelievably terrible in this show. His character is so unfit for him it makes me cringe so hard. I love Wang Ji-won, but I hate that she keeps getting this kind of roles when she can do so much better in a good role. I like Kang Min-hyuk but he's such a terrible fit for Ha Ji-won's love interest like I knew he would be. I would have rather preferred if he and her ended up being just friends. Also, every time Wang Ji-won calls him oppa, I die laughing because it's so very cringeworthy.
While You Were Sleeping: Suzy's character is another one that has made the list of my favourite drama women this year. I love where we are at right now in this show, I actually like the characters and I love their relationships with one another. I really wish Kim So-hyun was more than a cameo though.
Andante: Still enjoying this drama. I feel like I know where it's going but it's a pretty easy watch.
Next week brings more dramas! Looking forward to This Is My First Life, 20th Century Boy and Girl, Revolutionary Love, and Avengers Social Club.

Age of Youth 2: this!!! week's!!!! epilogue!!!!!!! i let out the weirdest half gasp, half scream - WHAT IS THE WRITER DOING TO US.

Temperature of Love: fuck yeah this couple's chemistry is s i z z l i n g.

While You Were Sleeping: weirdly enough, while i enjoy every episode, i never have the urge to rewatch it or discuss it immediately, and i'm never waiting on tenterhooks for the next episodes like i do with my other two dramas. i'm not sure why i feel so chill about it when i genuinely enjoy it a lot, but eh. i'm just glad i have three current dramas i'm so invested in right now after struggling for so many months. :D

Goong -- this drama totally surprised me. I am in awe of the production scale for a drama made a decade ago. They went all out. Even for a semi-fictional world, the staff made sure they were telling the story appropriately. Great job.

Not only that, the characters are someone we can root for. Shin Chae-Kyung is one strong, adorable heroine. I understand why she would fall in love with the crown Prince even though he is a jerk sometimes.

My first drama is Boys Over Flowers, and I loved the concept of chaebol experiencing the life of ordinary people, including the ramen. So, I am shocked that this came from Goong. Heck, so many tropes of BoF came from Goong. That just makes BoF even more cringier, despite being the best drug I have ever consumed.

I am watching Ms, Temper and Nam Jung Gi, which is streaming on Netflix under the title My Horrible Boss. 5 episodes in, I really like it, though the depiction of sexism in the business world is so terribly accurate sometimes.

Netflix also had what they are calling Strong Girl Bong Soon so I can watch the cute parts easily. The music is different in places and I think the editing too.

I totally agree with javabeans down to my bones! I too dropped My golden life. " did aliens write this trying to mimic us?" LOL!!

lingerie girls generation 1979: i'm sad for saying goodbye to jung hee and dong moon 😂 i love seeing them soooo much 😍😍
age of youth 2: latest episodes really make me fustrated too,,,really looking forward for the final episodes,,
temperature of love:actually i watch it because of yang se jong and seo hyun jin,,,but i'm mesmerized by kim jae wook oh my god i can't escape 😂😂 seo hyun jin is really good with two of them,,,i want her to be with both

Live up to your name
Funny and touching, the journey is completed.
Temperature of love
Argh... not so looking forward to Hong Ah back stabbing and plotting. And not so looking forward to Jung woo getting hurt from the 2 person he loves most. Can I stop here?
Hospital Ship
I'll just wait till the drama is over. There's no hurry...
While you are sleeping
I love my weekends, but where is Wednesday and Thursday! ?? I want my 3 dreamy dragons!

As everyone could probably tell since I commented and gushed over any Lingerie Girls' Generation post ever, I loved the show. Maybe a year from now rewatching it I'll see some flaw, but it's been so long since I lived watched something that never disappointed me that I'm still on the 1979 high.

Is there an evil witch somewhere casting dry spell on dramaland? Coz it really feel that way these days.

Age of Youth: Please end well. Please end well. Please end well. Not putting too much hope on Song-Min ship since they're still stuck in that friendzone circle, but by now I'll just take whatever hints they would give me that they are going to be okay in this end. Wrap it nicely so I won't throw things at my screen.

Lingerie Girls' Generation: Sad this little show ends coz now I have one less show to look forward to. Dong Moon is all kinds of adorable and the epitome of "work hard enough and you'll get what you want". Jin on the other hand - Too late, dude. You should appreciate what you have in front of you.

While You Were Sleeping: I like it a lot, but blame the dry spell that I couldn't click past episode 2. For now. Perhaps I would marathon it later. In the meantime, I'm avoiding the Beanies wall for unwanted spoilers.

Temperature of Love: Stone-cold here. Dropped after 1st episode. May or may not come back depending on mood.

Looking forward for new shows next week!

WYWS watched ep 3, too many poop jokes. Not sure about this now.
Watching JDrama Aoi Honoo , ( Blue Fire ). Set is 80’s aspiring manga artist struggles to get established. Like it so far.
Finished C drama The King’s Woman

Only watched Temperature of Love and Live Up to Your Name so far. TOL is a lovely, breezy watch. I adore this show. Besides the lead couple, the side characters are nice too. The Good Soup bromance is blooming.

LUTYN was an excellent drama. Loved it. <3 One of the most mature, evenly matched couples I’ve ever seen. Strong chemistry between the leads and the characters were written well.

Decided to get back to watching unfinished dramas. I had to skim the recaps and rewind a few scenes of Duel last night for like 30 minutes to refresh my memory. Then it got too late at night so I ended up not watching anything. LOL XD;;;

Girls Generation 1979 - I liked it, very nice job from the Ms. Perfect screenwriter (which shows that maybe she is better at adapting than creating ??)
Whike you were sleeping aka 3 Flying Dragons - I think I would never have enjoyed it if LJS and the police officer (sorry can't remember them names) were just ordinary people. As for Suzy, I am pleasantly surprised by her, although her co-stars are better 😅
Age of Youth 2 - Hopefully the subs for episode 13-14 will be done when I am finished with 10-12.

From Next Week :
Mon-Tue
20th century boy & girl - I feel like I've been waiting for this since forever.
Because this is my first life - Will check it out in reviews or comments before watching it.
The rest - Pass

Wed-Thu
Mad Dog - I was born ready
B(whatsisname) revenge club - Waiting. Want to watch immediately. Who subs this.
wyws - will continue watching.
hospital ship - pass.

Weekend :
Revolutionary Love - Will check out reviews. Sorry Siwon, safety first.
The package - Comments or reviews first.
Black - Not caring much. Seems weird.
The rest - Pass.

Girl's Generation 1979 : I'm sad this drama is finished. I loved the nostalgic touch with the great OST and the great characters. It was well written and the casting was good :)

Temperature of Love : If I'm not a big fan of the second leads (too cliché for me), I like the main couple. They're interesting and have a lot of chemistry !

Hospital Ship : I'm not interested by the medical part, but the relationships are really warm. I like the fact that it's about family, friends, coworkers, lovers without time travelling, super power, conspiracy, corruption... Just about people :)

WYWS : I'm very interested about how works their power but I don't like the comedic part (it's not natural for me) and the romance .

Age of Youth 2 : I'm frustrated how they tease us about Sung Min and Ji Won >_<

AoY2 writer better be good and give us satisfying Ssong couple ending or he/she’ll be JB’s virtual punching bag for weeks to come. Lol

Enjoying all 4 dramas I’m following and I can’t wait for Mad dog to air.

FINISHED

Live Up To Your Name: I liked this show. I really did. It had a mix of almost everything: light hearted moments, heavy moments, and great character growth. I come out of this show becoming a fan of both our lead actors--huge bias for Kim Nam-gil. Being honest, I don't feel sad that this show is done. Maybe because I think its a good show, not a great show. It could also be that I wasn't really emotionally invested in any of the characters that much. Or maybe it was still running when Temperature of Love started.

Together With Me: Ah, this BL Thai drama. It started off interesting and innocent enough, then it went to stupid and drawn out, then it caught itself in the last episode. At least it ended well. If they do a sequel to Bad Romance that focuses on Korn and Knock but still includes the couples in this series, I hope its better. It can be better. At the end of the day, I love that this drama showed a couple that had really good chemistry. They reminded me of the vibe I got from Addicted, ish.

ONGOING

Temperature of Love: What I love most about this show is that unless the writers and actors spell it out for you, there are so many ways to interpret Jung-sun's actions. Has he been lying to everyone else and/or himself? Does he want to scream, "noona, come to me!" I think it's that I love Jung-sun and, by extension, Yang Se-jong, a little too much. I hope I'm not overselling him but Yang Se-jong is a phenomenal actor. He absolutely sells me as a chef. I think that's one of the main things that makes me love this show so much. I'm a foodie and this show makes me giddy with everything food and drink related. I both love and hate that this show is a M/T drama. It's like a satisfying aperitif to start the week. 😄

Given some of the lukewarm comments about the show, I just hope that it continues to do well with all the new competition coming next week.

PICKED UP

It's the start of the Fall Anime season! There are so many shows to check out. I will make the rounds for this week and the next two weeks or so to see if anything catches my interest.

Drama wise, really looking forward to Lee Min-ki's return drama, Because This Is My First Life. Will try to watch all the other premiers as well seeing as I only really have one ongoing drama atm and it feels weird.

Now I'm watching Temperature of Love episode 10 and I'm so bored.. I don't seem to be invested in any character.. everything is so out of its place and I found very good actors and actresses can't do much without a good script, and that's precisely what's happening in this show.

Now even Seo Hyo-jin can't seem to pull out in this kind of circumstances.

I was wondering if I am the only one who watches Borg Mom. I don't know why but I like Yang dong Geum very much. I also enjoy watching the silly hierarchy of mothers of kindergarten students in the prestigious school. The mothers are petty but hilarious at the same time. I love to see how the professor falls for a college student who the borg mom was modeled from.

I can understand why javabeans would put While You Were Sleeping on hold. Still, I had some time to kill a couple of days ago and ended up binge-watching all the episodes in one go. Two things I learned from this. Number 1, I still got it ;) I am still physically capable of binge-watching a drama. Yeah! Take that older age. Number 2, I didn't think this drama was going to be good, I was ready to ditch it at any time, and I didn't. I just chose to forget that the two main leads are Suzy and LJS, and boom, enjoyment plus. This plot has gotten so complicated, in a good way, and I can't wait to see what the writer has in store for us.

Age of Youth 2: Ssong-Sungmin~^♥♥

While You Were Sleeping: Love it, love it, love it.

Temperature of Love: I don't know much about drama plot because I'm too busy fangirling over Kim Jae wook ♡♡♡

Age of Youth: one of the few things that inject a bit of joy into my tv/drama viewing slump. I think I needed that apple picking episode as much as our heroines and heroes. I'm going to be really sad to say goodbye these girls, of whom I grow prouder with each episode. We were so fortunate to get a 2nd season so soon. Hoping for a 3rd feels a little greedy.

While You Were Sleeping: I sort of share javabeans feelings about it. So many elements that I like about it (playing with alternative futures, the 3 flying dragons, likable minor characters) and Suzy isn't too bad in it, but it doesn't feel like the drama I need right now, though I can totally imagine myself obsessed with it, perhaps in an alternate timeline? Can't decide whether or not to put on hold.

I never went back to watch the final episode of criminal minds, so thanks to Saya for recapping it.

I'm boarding late to Strong Woman Do Bong Soon.

I know I'm late but it's better than never seeing this heartfluttering drama.

And should I bother to watch the last five episodes of Criminal Minds? I think it would be better to watch Signal (which I have not yet seen).

While You Were Sleeping. Stuck at episode 2, trying to find the motivation to press the play button.

Anyway, I'm prioritizing finishing Strong Woman Do Bong Soon.

Watching & enjoying:
Age of Youth 2
While You Were Sleeping
Girls Generation 1979 - love the oldie-but-goodie music. Saving the final episode for this afternoon.

On hold:
Hospital Makjang

Pleasantly fresh in my memory:
Strongest Deliveryman
Live Up to the Name

There, I finished it:
Manhole
The King Loves
Criminal Minds

While you were sleeping 😍😍😍 finally managed to drag me out of my worst drama slump ever. Thank you WYWS team😘😚😙

Marathoning Blood. I heard such bad things about this drama that I never took it up until now. Now that I have, I wondered why I formed an opinion without watching it for myself. It’s surprisingly interesting, love the plot. acting and actors and can’t for the life of me understand why it had such a bad rep in the first place.

Other than that I’m enjoying While You Were Asleep, Hospital Ship (which has slowed down its pace) and Andante.

Andante is really how High School dramas are supposed to be. I’m two episodes in, but I’ve found in it much more realism than School 2017 so far. Keeping my fingers crossed that it keeps being interesting.

Gotta sign on to agree with you there, GF! Watched soooo many fake movie trailer between Ji Won & Sung Min. Every time Jtbc put up their trailer, they ALWAYS put Sung Min's face there. They KNOW what they're doing!!! Stringing us along.... for the potential 3rd season. I see why they did it - I just don't appreciate it. All this craze on Sung Min, and them not delivering feels like they're unintentionally taking away from the Hyo Jin storyline. As a viewer, I probably should be more invested in the Hyo Jin Story... but I seriously am just waiting for Sung Min to show up... I can't help it!

i'm so glad to read here that many are also not enjoying the programming lately. I thought I was weird? Even all the eye candy & big names hasn't kept me entertained. Hyori's B&B has been the only show I've chased... if that says anything about dramaland??
