Oh wow, so fast today!!
currently watching:
Go Back Spouses and While You Were Sleeping
Just started WYWS but because GBS is too good, WYWS hasn't really drawn my attention yet. I'll give it a few more episodes because Lee Jong Suk ❤

There are so many good things to say about alot of this year's dramas. I agree with @Laica that Forest of Secrets and Because It's Our First Life really raised the bar for the ones that come after. Unless something hideous happens which I'm confident it won't BIOFL is already earmarked for the top spot in my personal list. I can't get over how excited I am every week for it to come on and every week it exceeds my expectations.

While You Were Sleeping: I’m sad that it ended and I don’t have anymore of our 3 cuties to look at on a weekly basis, but it ended on a nice, satisfying note, so I really couldn’t ask for more. (But I’m greedy, I want more.)

Go Back Spouses: Slowly catching up on this, and every time mum appears I want to cry.

BTLIOF: YAY KISS YAY PROGRESS YAY SLEEPING TOGETHER it better not be lying next to each other/someone on the floor in the same room, just saying.

Buamdong Social Club: 2 more episodes! I’m waiting for subs but I’ve already watched the raw version and this show just gets me in the feels with the strong girl power and friendship. Aww.

I need a new show to replace the empty hole WYWS left!!

The package : abit underwhelming on episode 8-9, episode 10 really making me hope again episode 11 and 12 will deliver.

Is anyone watching Package? I find this drama so enduring and thoughtful in its execution. I'm fully vested in the back stories of all the group travelers in Paris, Saint-Malo and Mont Saint-Michel. (I want to book a flight to France now! ASAP!) There's genuine emotions at play and I am drawn in completely when I'm watching. I'm looking forward to the last episode. I want all the characters to have their own happy endings and closures.

Go back spouse might be one of Jang Na Ra best performances I've watched. Never seen her showing this much fire in her previous role. I liked her performances in fated to love you in the first half of FTLY. But love her here more. Might be due to material is meatier and more well written

A little more than a month ago we had 9 dramas premiering. I felt like I participated in a speed dating event, and in a couple weeks my soulmate had emerged. BTLIOF makes me giggle and giddy but also challenges me intellectually. Because This Life Is Our First makes me, for the first time in my life, feeling that drama monogamy is possible.

I do still keep one other company on the weekend. At last Miss Jang is too charming for me not to indulge in wallowing in her pathos.
With GBS’s impending departure, I will always think of her fondly and appreciate the time we have spent together, and who knows? Maybe in the future I will even visit for old time’s sake.

BTLIOF, I am devoted to every part of you. The images of you linger on my mind, the turns of your phrases are to be savored, and the sound of you has permeated in my air. I am in awe by the creation and the existence of you. I look forward to every passing hour because it brings me closer to knowing you a little deeper (past), experiencing all of your delights (present), and learning new parts of you that again and again exceed my expectation (future). Someone like you who has come is indeed a tremendous thing. Thank you.

Okay, I think it's been awhile since the last time I post comment at WWW section. I'm down to 3 dramas now: Go Back Spouses, WWYS and Buamdong Revenge Club. All of the dramas end this week which is sad, but a good thing as well because then I can focus on the other dramas that I have put on hold: BTLIOF, Witch's Court, Mad Dog and Black.

BTIOFL... of course!

WYWS... it was easy to finish. and I was glad it finished.

20th century boy and girl... I've tried to reimagine the cast as 20 year olds. It helps because that's pretty much what their mental age seems to be stuck at. Who would imagine a celebrity with 17+ years experience, apparently, being completely and absolutely naive about PR issues and the quandaries of public/private life?

Last Minute Romance... not sure why. In between commenting on DB perhaps. lightweight. Given the premise, it didn't really go where I thought it would, dramatically. For 2 hours of time, it was pretty good.

BRC - waiting for subs to finish. then go for the rest. I am not as captivated as many other Beanies so far but it is fun.

Meloholic - Stay away unless you can ignore some pretty morally objectionable behaviour. And it isn't the skinship I'm referring to either. Other than that (!!!) it could be a fun watch. not for me.

"I’m mainly watching for the undercover missions and the chemistry between Woo Do-hwan and Ryu Hwa-young." - dramallama [I mean, at this point, who isn't only watching for that]

"Please have an epic epilogue where you and Ha-ri have a soccer team’s worth of cheeky and sneaky Olympic medalist children." - tineybeanie [*claps* my only wish for this show now]

Gutaeng Hyung. Remember, each member, forever.

While You Were Sleeping : I'm sad this drama has ended. It's not a perfect drama but for me it's a great drama because it managed to make me emotionally invested in the little universe this drama has. I love and care about not only the lead characters, but people around them too (except the baddies). I cried and laughed with them. I really like the family relationships, romance and friendship in this drama, so much warmth.
Despite my sadness about losing Chief Choi, I really like the finale episode. It leaves me smiling, believing that the characters continue their life journey after the drama end. I'm satisfied.

I haven't watched any other dramas this week.
I'm waiting subtitles for last 2 episodes of Buamdong Revenge Club.
Because This Life Is Our First, I don't feel the urge to watch this week episodes.
Meloholic, a bit lost interest after seeing comments about male lead's behavior that violates women's privacy. I'm late on realising that.

#1 BTIOFL: obsessed just like everyone else
#2 Go back spouses: loving the second lead
# Father is Strange: Jung So Min is so cute

and just for fun, Lee Min Ki films: A very Ordinary Couple and For the Emperor. Wow, his characters are so different, but I love his acting. (I loved Spellbound and Moster)

Watching BTIOFL, obviously. Could not drum up enough interest to watch the last episodes of While You Were Sleeping. I feel like I am getting in another drama slump as nothing else seem to interest me. I don't want to fall in slump again. :-(

Because This Life is Our First: I don't know how this drama managed to reduce me into a squealing and squeeing mess. Maybe it's the magic of being honest and upfront about your feeling. Or maybe it's simply the magic of watching Se-hee and Ji-ho being adorably in love.

Go Back Spouses: Uuuff... The revelation about what actuallu happened when Mom passed away hurt so much. Now there's no way I wouldn't root for our OTP to work out their issues together and finally get their happy ending.

While You Were Sleeping: This is definitely the weakest out of all Park Hye-ryun's dramas. What's with the simple and straightforward plot, and the stark black-and-white villain and hero. But I forgive a lot of its flaw because it has one of the best mentor-mentee relationship I've watched in kdrama. Chief Choi is such a great character, and I dig all his interaction with Jae-chan. This drama also, hands down, has the best resolution for the triangle love between our 3 dragons. I hope many drama writers take note of this, because friends can continue being friend despite liking the same person, you know.

Three Meals a Day S4: Ep 12. Finale eps 😭😭 I'm feeling blue already remembering that I wouldn't have another eps to look forward to from this relaxing var show.

“ I watch this drama to see two people in love. If they’re falling out of love, what the hell am I watching for?”-GF

😆😆 exactly what I’m saying

I was so much intent on watching Lee Yeon Hee on screen that I was tricked into watching The Package. But seriously, I don't know what the show is really about and to my surprise, I'm still watching it.

Oh, how I'll miss Jae Chan and Hong Joo.

What I’m watching:

Drama:
While you were sleeping: aww. 😍 what a nice way to end the show. Though Chief Choi 😭
Because Its our First Life: do I even have to explain?

Variety:
Winner Over Flowers: because it WINNER
Mixnine: is this variety? But I love this though. YG is so savage. Ha.
1n2d: I still cant bring myself to watch Kim joo Hyuk’s special. 😭

Just a few shows, life’s too busy this days. Prayung for a less hectic one soon!
Have a great day everyone!! ❤️💕

Currently:
Ugly crying with go back spouses
Swooning over our first life
Wishing that the ajummas of avengers club were my unnies

I would just like to point that Javabeans has dropped Revolutionary Love from the list of shows she's watching in spite of how we were all excited about her being pulled out of the slump by Siwon.

I am watching MBC's "Money Flower" now. The story is much more interesting that what I expected from the synopsis initially. And Jang Hyuk really nails the character !! Looking forward to ep 3 tonight.

Currently Watching:
Buamdong Revenge Club: I cannot describe the depths of my love for this show and its characters. I literally whooped when Mi-sook slapped her husband. I am on the edge of my seat every episode. I love the relationship between all the women and Soo-gyum. I wish subtitles were faster but I’m glad that we’re getting them at all. Thanks subbers.
Because This Life Is Our First: My interest has rekindled after this week’s episodes. I was a little worried it was waning because of the misconception of Bok-nam being a stalker, but I totally love it again. I’m very invested in Su-ji and Sang-goo’s story mostly because I relate to Su-ji on a very soulful level. I’m so glad Won-seok and Ho-rang broke up, that relationship wasn’t going anywhere for Ho-rang. I’m a little wary about this introduction of Lee Chung-ah’s character.
20th Century Boy and Girl: Love this show to bits, the relationships, the general feel of this show is really laid back and it calms me down when I watch it. I feel like, in general, this is a good quarter for female characters and friendships in dramaland.
Revolutionary Love: I think I’m about to drop this show.
Andante: The acting in this drama is atrocious on all fronts but I’m still watching because I already started and I might as well finish it. Also, even though Kai and Kim Jin-kyung’s acting is terrible, their characters are so adorable I can’t help but root for them.

Because This is Our First Life:

Because this is probably one of those dramas in kdramaland that comes unexpectedly, slowly creeps to your heart and stays there for a very long time. It’s been a while since a drama graced my heart this much. After the bad slump that clouds over dramaland this year, it would feel even better to have this drama ends 2017 on a high note. You can do it BTIOFL!

Get well soon, Laica! *sending you virtual hugs and well wishes* Hopefully, when you get back, you will get to recap another awesome show like 'Forest of Secrets'.

Can't believe go back spouses is ending this week! And there is only 4 more episodes of because this life is our first! These two shows are the ones I am living on and I don't want them to end!

I liked the finale of while you were sleeping. But, I guess I became more jaded this year than before because it felt so much like an ideal world where so many characters made selfless decisions that it felt slightly unreal. That seemed like the theme of the show, if you do good, good will find you. But, it instilled a little bit of hope in me, so far doing that, the show was definitely worth a watch.

✖️Temperature of Love >> such a waste. I really love Seo Hyun Jin and what a discovery Yang Se Jong is for me here but sorry I can’t stand your story and your second leads. 😱
✖️ While You Were Sleeping >> Stopped watching at Ep 12 (half hour format) and wanted to check how things will end before deciding to pick it back up or drop it. Decided to drop, I don’t think I’ll survive another SLS heartbreak. 💔
☑️ 20th Century Boy and Girl >> not sure how else the drama will fill the next 4 hours. Maybe more of mom shipping the OTP. 😂
☑️ Because This Life Is Our First >> Been squaling so hard my throat hurts. 😘
❓ The Package >> Maybe will still watch this when I don’t have anything else to watch anymore.
❓Revolutionary Love >> I love Siwon. And might still pick this back up.
☑️ Go Back Couple >> Episode 11 got me all 😭😭😭. Not yet ready to say goodbye to this beautiful show.
☑️ Witch’s Court >> I miss the romance. Can we get back there sooner please? And uhm I am still hoping against hope that Baek Sang Ho is alive somewhere out there.
☑️ Buamdong Revenge Social Club >> What a lovely show! This should be 50 episodes long.

Legend:
✖️ = Dropped
❓ = On Hold? Behind on episodes. Not sure. Might get dropped soon?
☑️ = Currently watching

Hard to say goodbye to my fav shows this week - Buamdong Revenge Club and Go Back Couple 😭

Money Flower - Since it is just 24 epi, I hope it stays good. MBC also decided to cut Man Who Sets The Table to 36 epi, their reason because the story will be fast paced that way, but my guess is it is due to the low rating. If the rating is good, they will just maintain the epi like usual. But it's good decision anyway, and I'm glad they finally took into consideration what viewers want.

Meloholic - Kyung Su-jin is good in this. It's pretty disappointed that she also dropped out from Four Men because of some changes on the storyline and her character, but I guess it could be a good decision. She and Jo Hyun-jae can headline in another drama together and I also don't think KSJ is lacking in anything to be a second fiddle to Nana. Now I wonder what were that changes on Four Men, or maybe what I truly wonder if Four Men will actually happen.

Anyway looking forward to see the new batch of drama next week. I don't know what drama I'm actually excited to watch but it could be a good thing.

«And that makes them feel so alive and real.». Thank You, Laica, so much for these words, because they describe exactly what I feel for BTLIOF! It is making me remember how I felt when I used to read great literature... totally alive and dignified to live it through books. Of course, that could also imply that my own life is boring and lacking emotions.... :/ don't want to talk about it! LOL!! It is not totally like that, I may be a very demanding person. I always need more. And this show is simply giving it to me exactly in the way I like it. (Smile) 😍😍😍

Go back spouses is ending today. So sad to bid farewell to this drama. I think its the best out of all 2017 dramas i watched. It has heart and the message the drama is trying to convey can easily be understood by all generations. Its not dramatic, its more slice of life with a fantasy time-slip element. But other than the time-slip everything is actually quite true to life. Huhu

It should be a short list for me this week, however ...
I'm watching Because This Is My First Life. 💓 A show with amazing thought-provoking comments about marriage, dating, family expectations, societal pressures/sexual harrassment, the inequality of the sexes, communication, love ... Show poses the question more than once... are love and marriage different things?
- Re-watching Because This Is My First Life, Ep 11 -12. 💓
Because it's one of those shows that I have to try to squeeze every drop of goodness out of.
- Re-watching Because This Is My First Life, Ep 1-5. 💓 Because I felt I missed a whole bunch of clues about Se Hee. Laughed all over again at the irony of Won Seok and Sang Gu (self-professed master of dating?) getting the completely wrong conclusions about Ho Rang.
- While You Were Sleeping. 💙 Looked and sounded good, great acting, nice premise but show could have been far better. I'm a bit sad it did not hit it's potential. 😔
- Re-watching Because This Is My First Life, Ep 6-10. 💓 Because I can't get enough of the cute. 😘
- 20th C Boy and Girl. 💜 Just eps 21 and 22 which were cute and all but I stopped there. Why? Because I want to re-watch BTLIMF! 😋
- Re-watching Because This Is My First Life, Ep 1-5 again. 💓 Just because!!! And I'll continue til Ep12 because it isn't Monday (or Tuesday with subs) yet!!! ❤

You get the picture. 😉 😆

I had quite a bad drama slump before Go Back Couple started, but the scenes between Nam-gil and Jin-joo brought me to life! Their scenes in the first 6 episodes was magic haha, I still watch it and i understand Ban-do more now. Since they were married and had a child, i knew what i signed up for. Sigh, but still...Nam-gil's gazes...If i'm going to take something from this drama, i will be that i want to find my own Nam-gil. Someone who looks at you like that. But i look forward to the last episode, Ban-do have rediscovered his love for Jin-joo and i think he will make her happy from now on. I hope he treats her with the respect she deserves in the future :)

Also finished Avengers club! Loved it :)

Because This Life is Our First: Cute. Funny. I don't know.

Witch's Court: Can we just stay here? Solving cases from week to week, always with a satisfying payout? I gets tedious, but I liked it far more this week than I did last week and I'm willing to take what I can get!

20th Century Boy and Girl: I'm an episode behind. I hope that when Ji-jin's scandal breaks out, the public aren't ridiculous about it. It's not like anyone believes that We Got Married is fiction, so why does everyone in this show take it so seriously?

Buam-dong Revenge Club: Episode five. Soo-gyum is the best, and I love how he's really trying to form a bond with Jung-hye.

While You Were Sleeping: Ever so slowly catching up, no-one spoil me! I've discovered that the writing is occasionally not inventive enough, and I don't feel a lot of pull from the romance, but it's occasionally Lee Jong-suk and the way he drives the legal cases that make me love this show so much!

Plus Nine Boys: I've been meaning to start this for a while now, and I finally got round to it! No surprise, the biggest pull is to the Jin-gu/Se-young couple, and I really want to see how he brings her around.

About to watch The Package and Go Back Couple - these shows are literally the best part of my week.

Watching
Witch's court- interesting cases- work harassment, sexual video, rape etc
Money flower- interesting storyline about revenge

my week in drama land was rather uneventful, with real life messing my me time

Our First Life and Mad Dog
Kitties happily kissing in one show making me swoon while the Puppies had me on a roller coaster, but still made me swoon too.

Need to catch up this weekend:
Witch at Court
Buamdong Revenge Club (why is this ending so soon?
Running Man with Super Junior
Winner Over Flowers
Weekly Idol with Super Junior

Happy Weekend,Beanies!

Go Back Spouses : Kim Mi Kyung is a treasure. Kim Byung Ok too, working double Dad duties in this and BTIOFL. Veteran character actors that bring the magic.

BTIOFL: Happy for Jung So Min and crew.

C Drama: A Love So Beautiful. Really sweet love story that follows the OTP for 19 years starting in High School. Like it so far. Not overly angsty or too silly. Shen Yue is adorable as Chen Xiao Xi .

Witch's Court: Ma Yi Deum’s Mother is ALIVE! I'm sooo happy!!! And now I'm looking forward love-lines between Yi Deum & Jin-wook LOL

Because This Life Is Our First: I seriously wish Se-Hee & Ji-Ho throw away their Marriage contract LOL just be marriage couple for real coz they're so cute together

Mad Dog: Kim Min-Joon, do you like Jang Ha-Ri that much? Okay, just date LMAO

While You Were Sleeping: Choi Dam-Dong is my hero! Kim Won-Hae deserved an award.. Lee Jong-Suk's crying scenes torn my heart.. I watched the finale twice and still cry like a fool..

Buam-dong Revenge Club: My favorite Ahjummas... Always!

Lesson learned from watching Go Back Spouses: Should never root for the girl to end up with second lead. Drama will butcher your heart. Should only watch show purely for second lead gorgeousness and wish him to end up with ME. Maybe Go Back Spouses is turning out to be the one drama this year I watch till the end but end up with an aftertaste like cheap fake chocolate. Love the family stories though.

Episode 11-12 is usually when I start losing interest in a drama because it becomes too romantic (yep, I'm weird). Besides, in any other drama I would say the hero fell in love too quickly just because rom-com laws dictate it, since we're only 4 episodes away from finishing. But in BTIOFL the clues were always there, so I'm not shocked or turned off by the more romantic turn of the show. Especially since it manages to keep that contemplative mood and balance it with laugh-out-loud comedy and the best sound effects in dramaland.

That's all. I got tired of The Package at episode 9. Too much like a French movie LOL.

So nobody is watching Black, huh? #sigh
I guess I`m the only one who is drowned in Song Seung-heon`s charm *.*

I finally got around to watching a show live again. Currently only missing this week's eps of Mad Dog and I definitely like it, but don't love it. Woo Do Hwan is even more charming than I remember him from Dramaworld though, so I'm mostly just busy fangirling over his pretty eyes and cute smile :P I can't believe he's still a rookie, he does so well here, especially with his facial expressions and just the fact that he can hold his own against the presence that is Yoo Ji Tae lol.

Most likely gonna watch Buamdong Revenge Club when I'm caught up on MD. Also plan on trying out either Defendant, Falsify or Forest of Secrets, but not quite sure yet.

Also some dramas I've been waiting for premiering towards the end of the month, yay!

Of the current autumn crop of dramas, REVOLUTIONARY LOVE is the only one that I quit live-watching (after ep. 5). I was really looking forward to it for Siwon's return, but it was too doofy for me, and wasn't up to snuff in comparison to the rest of my lineup.

Still watching, in this order:

TEMPERATURE OF LOVE -- When it was good, it was great. Its extended interludes of characters warped by dysfunctional family dynamics have been all too realistic. I can't say the same for those afflicted with Chaebol Delusion Syndrome, Terminal Jealousy, and/or Screenwriter's Fatigue. Yang Se-jong has turned in another impressive performance. Seo Hyun-jin's formerly feisty scriptwriter has lost her marbles and has been high-handedly contrarian towards Chef Jung-sun for much of the show, starting from day 1. Her performance has been fine, I just don't grok her high-maintenance character. Kim Jae-wook's character has been a cypher for much of the show, too, although I've been enjoying his quiet exasperation in the face of Hurricane Hong-ah. Jo Bo-ah deserves combat pay for her sterling depiction of the self-centered, green-eyed monster. Let's hear it for Sim Hee-Seop and Chae So-Young as sous chef and sommelier, and the rest of the bromantic kitchen crew at Good Soup. I love these guys. At this point, I ship Jung-sun and Won-joon, who actually communicate and respect each other in a way that seems to be impossible for Hyun-soo. Great OST and background music.

BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS OUR FIRST initially was not even on my radar, but grabbed me in a big way and has not let go. It continues to deliver touching, nuanced performances by its entire cast, and character arcs that are realistic and satisfying. I smile from ear to ear at Lee Min-ki and Jung So-min and their journey of discovery. Great OST! This is what TEMPERATURE OF LOVE and 20TH CENTURY BOY AND GIRL aimed for, but fell short of. Bravo!

20TH CENTURY BOY AND GIRL has lovely interludes with friends and family, close friendships that date back to early childhood, and a pair of loving step-brothers. The caring, loyalty, and belonging are heartwarming. Kim Ji-suk and Han ye-seul have sizzling chemistry in his long-awaited turn as a leading man. But like an embryonic star of insufficient mass to fully coalesce, the plot has frittered away much of the show, which could have been tightened up with fewer episodes if indeed it was meant to focus on the OTP. The reason for Lee Sang-woo's buttoned-down Anthony persona has at last been revealed, but it still feels as if he were wasted in this role. (I fell for him in a big way as Kyung-soo in LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.) Insufficient attention has been paid to Young-shim, who seems destined for a solitary life as a lawyer. Beautiful OST!

Finally watched the first episode of Girls' Generation 1979. I definitely loved the first 15-20 minutes. There was some some nice commentary on patriarchy, plus I really enjoyed the absurd place the military has in their lives/schooling. I confess I don't have a lot of patience for kdrama's idea of puppy love (stalking, foolishness, toolishness, etc), so that made the second half of the episode pretty painful to watch. The directing is super charming, however, and I think things will get better now that Kim Ok-bin's little sister has arrived. (I hope she has some of her talent, along with looking/sounding exactly like her!) All in all, feeling optimistic about it.

In terms of western TV, I started I, Claudius. The production is a little bit hokey, but considering it was produced for television in 1976, it looks very good, and the acting/script/historical content is all fantastic. I've never had a lot of interest in/education about ancient history, so I'm learning a lot about Rome and the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Well, really, I'm just waiting for Patrick Stewart to show up so I can see what Captain Picard looks like with hair haha.

All dramas of 2017 felt lacking to me, some started really well but lost their charm and Ive dropped almost everything except for Forest of Secrets and Fight my way ( the last one had very dissappointing last 4 episodes though).

BTLIOF has brought back the excitement of watching pure gold, I sit back and enjoy, which hasnt happened in a while :)

Between BTIOFL and Go Back Couple, my heart feels full and content. I haven't felt this good about drama watching alll year... I think both shows are going to end in my Top 10. Both shows have phenomenal, thought-provoking writing, and are executed so well! I thought 2017 was kinda bleh with the drama options, but with Chicago Typewriter, Live Up to Your Name, 7 Day Queen, BTIOFL, and Go Back Couple... it wasn't as bad as I thought!
